'Sapolio' in sea-way is u scrubber

GOODNESS and pluck could be given,
The start was made at $3.50 Wednes-
day, July Goth, the destination being
Palos, Spain. Capt. Andrews has in
structions to scour the seas until he
discovers that port and the starting
point of Columbus II is believed that,
sailing in fourteen foot boat without
so much as hot cup of coffee to vary
his diet of biscuits and canned goods, he
will, single-handed, eclipse the record
of that Spanish-Italian ndventurer who
almost failed to cross the great ocean
with three ships, $50 men, after secur
ing the Queens jewels to pawn and
having the blessing of the Church
thrown in. This Columbus is sailing In

1900 mile trip He has been spoken
in mid-ocean several times, scorning all
assistance and confident of ultimate
success His effort should interest all
Americans as test of pluck, endurance
and good seamanship. That it is not a
foolhardy affair is proved by his for
mer success and by the notable trip in
which he battled for sixty-two days
without reaching the other side. Thou
sands of people saw the start, his pres
ence at different points on the ocean
has been noted by large numbers of
vessels, and his landing on the other
side will no doubt be made matter of
public demonstration and rejoicing. As
he sailed from the pier he said, Sin
sixty days will be in Spain, and up
to the last reports he had made better
time than he anticipated Every day
during the voyage n bottle will be
thrown overheard noting the location
and other information about the trip.
If Capt. Andrews succeeds in reach
ing Spain and joining in the October
celebrations which will be held in
honor of the discovery of America, he
will then return in one of the great
steamers and arrange to exhibit his
boat and the log which he writes up
day by day, at the Worlds Fair in Chi
cago, where he will be one of the fea-
lures of the magnificent display which
the manufacturers of Sapolio are now

object at first to having the roots left

The exhibits which form the feature
of the ninth annual exposition are now
in perfect order for the opening next
Wednesday, when Gilmore's band with
100 pieces will give grand concert,
which will be attended not only by
thousands of visitors, but also by the
governors of Missouri and other states,
each accompanied by large suite. AS
Gilmore's New York engagement does
not terminate until Tuesday morning, it
has been necessary to charter special
train to bring him here in time for the
opening on the evening of September
7. The train will bring the largest as
well as the finest band ever heard in
the west, and it is safe to say that the
playing of one hundred skilled must
clans under the leadership of the great
est band master of the day will afford
n musical treat such as has never been
attempted heretofore in the west.
The general attractions of the Expo
sition will be more numerous and gen
orally speaking much grandcr than in
the past. In each of the eight success
full seasons of the st. Louis Exposition,
new features have been introduced,
but the number of novelties this year
is much greater than usual and an
immense increase in attendance is
anticipated The art display is very
grand one, and the electrical and
mechanical departments also promise
unwonted attractions. The manage
ment announces that an inclusive fee OF
25 cents will admit to all parts of the
exposition, including the great Gilmore
concerts.
