An Incident of Ocean Travel.

No words can describe the awful same
ness of the briny deep in calm weather.
Ear as the eye can see extends the un-
varying blue green waste; every little
rave looks just like every other. One
day there rose on the northern horizon,
coming into full view in a few minutes af-
ter 1t was sighted, and apparently aiming
exactly at us, a large ship with every sail
set, and gliding like a great white bird
over the sea, It was a magnificent sight.
Nearer and nearer it came; the two yes
sells on the same line seemed about to col
Nde at their bows, and all the passengers
were filed with curiosity and delight at so
inspiring a spectacle. One minute I wal
positive the sailing vessel would strike us
amidships; the next it passed just astern,
and every passenger yelled and waved and
yelled again, but elected no response. On
the entire deck but one man could be seen,
and he did not wen turn his face toward
us that I could see. He was probably too
busy at the rudder. In five minutes the
beautiful sailer was like a great white
clifE glowing afar in the last rays Of the
sun; In ten more she was hull down on the
southwestern horizon, and soon her tallest
masts disappeared as Il sinking into the
sea. She was a godsend to us. We return
ed to the smoking room With a renewed
apostle for hilarity.

NOTES.

II. L. Laurie, the celebrated English
safety bicycle record breaker, is making =
short visit in America. He says he con-
siders the time made in road races in
America, in proportion to the condition Of
the roads, is considerably better than Is &C
complished in England in the same line.
The New York state bicycle meet a.
Syracuse ON Sept. l and 2 will, according
to the committee having it in charge, be
the biggest athletic event yet held in that
city. The Syracuse cup, to be presented
to the largest visiting uniformed league
club attending the meet, is an unusually
beautiful trophy, and the minor prizes for
the various races are as handsome in pro-
portion.
Charles B. Nelson, the l9-year-old tour
ist from Chicago, who made the distance
from his home to New York in fourteen
days, breaking the best record by over
three days, will start in to break the record
from New York to San Francisco as o
as he is fully rested from the effects of his
last trip. In his ride from Chicago he
averaged over seventy-five miles per day.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4-The Odd Fellows
and %patriarchs militant hold possession
of Chicago. Nearly every train to-day
and last night brought uniformed mem
bers of the order, and hundreds upon
hundreds of civil branches, all intent
upon attending the triennial cantonment,
or general gathering of the organization.
Men in uniform and men and women
wearing Odd Fellow badges were SO
numerous as to form a large part of the
thpongs that crowded the down town
district. Every section of the United
States is represented in the arrivals.
The cantonment has no legislative pow
ers or functions. 1t is one purely
for display and to get the rep
r~esentatives and members of the
order together that they may for one
thing, at least, realize how big the or
%ganization is. Contests in the civil
branches of the order began early to-day
and will continue throughout the week.
Most of these will be had in Battery D
armory and will be open only to the ini-
tiated. The armory has been fitted up
for this purpose especially. It is deco
rated lavishly and is of itself a diversion
and entertainment for visitors. The

here to-day, with about ffty-ive dele
gates in attendance. The association
met this forenoon, and L. Christianson

sell intoxicants by druggists, pleading
that according to the new state law no
examining board has been appointed by
the governor as required by law, there

The Dangers Of Pole Wanting.

that accidents at pole vaulting, mostly the
breaking of the poles, still continue, and
one recently at Staten Island, where the
athlete landed heavily on his spine 70 that
he could not get up for some time, rather
dampened the whole games. The main
trouble Is that athletes wishing to excel in
this game use poles far too light for them,

and the ground. There are cases on record

The REFLECTOR has no apologies to
make to the city of Topeka. We have
said nothing about Topeka that we do
not think her actions in this matter
merited. We do not believe that it is
just to require or ask the Odd Fellows
of Kansas to pay $500 for carriages and
horses to convey visitors over that city
for the purpose of advertising her in
Vulnerable real estate booms. This
$500 for carriages and horses is only
one of the many items asked for by the
committee. The entire list is for dis
play. All legitimate expenses of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge will be borne
cheerfully by all the Odd Fellows in
Kansas. They have already paid their
per capita tax for that purpose.

in swift process of contradiction
