cut flowers, for sale-are everywhere. There
are yiolets, crocuses, camelas, roses, lilies
bluebells and all their tribe, whose colors show
off brightly in the loud and motley promenade
they call the Canebiere. They show off
brightly and their fragrance wages continual
war with the smell of tar and fish and the
garbage of the port.
ALONG THE wATERsIDE
the eye sees forests of great masts, in which
are pitched tent-like. towns of white and varie-
gated sails. They are added to by the color
striped smoke stacks of Mediterranean tramps
and liners, Atlantic and Pacifc-going ships and
the shining brass of pleasure yachts. For the
ear there is babel Of all languages. the calling
out of fish. the cries of sailors at their ropes,
the opportunities of boatmen and. if it be a
Sunday a feast day, the noise Of many bands
upon excursion boats.
1t is here that remembers Edmond
Dantes, afterward the Count OF Monte Cristo
The Chateau d If is in the sea near by, and one
may visit the squat state prison of a bygone
time where the Able Faria wasted out his years.
Every spot referred to in the romance is shown
you in good faith by the cheerful but persistent
guards and guides. The prison is a small affair,
situated on bare island scarcely larger than
i;self-a round protuberance of brown rocks
from the blue sea.
THE CANEBIERE.
The great street Of Marseilles is the Cane
biere, a straight boulevard leading directly
from the port into another quieter boulevard
which leads to park and great fountain.
The Canebiere bustles with life and noise. for
it is one of the first principles in Marseilles
never to be in the house when it is possible to
remain outdoors. This street is their chief
pride, and they compare it, not without some
reason, to the Paris boulevard.
The popularity of the Marseillais is boast
fulness and exaggeration. They are lively. in

IN A SAPvN.

On this side of the Atlantic they have not vet
awakened to the American idea of express COM
panies. You send your trunks as freight and
when it is simply question of valises. rugs
and boxes you take them with You into your
compartment. IL is a universal practice.
The railway cars Of France are heated with
long, nat hot-wlter cans, renewed at certain
stations on the route. They keep the soles of
the feet hOt-which, for obvious reasons, is not
desirable with many feet at one time-and
permit n cold draft from under the door Mt their
side to chill ones ankles. When eight persons
are wedged into one tight compartment the
pleasure OF travel Is not great; il there are only
two the privacy and room to sprawl offset
the other drawbacks. In the matter of
smoking, much depends on your companions
In France the special compartments are seldom
sufficient for those who wish to smoke: and il

GETTING READY FOR THE MATCHES.

Interest in the rifle competitions which are
to take place during the present month seem
to have been considerably awakened during
the past week or so. Every day and every
evening numbers Of shsrpshooters and men
who hope to be shsrpshooters are to be found
In the gallery practicing as though their very
existence depended upon the size of their
scores. While individual practice is a good
thing. still it would be well for team captains
to remember that success can only follow a
consistent course of team practice. They
should endeavor to get together the men from
whom the teams will be selected and work with
them until selection of tine ultimate ten
made up 1t should do as much work together
as it possibly can.
FINISH UP YOUR SCORES.
There are still many men whose scores are
incomplete. 1t should be borne in mind that
no one who has not completed his gallery class
practice will be permitted to enter any of the
competitions, and there should be no forget
fulness as to the fact that when the gallery is
closed on the night of the 31st instant the last
opportunity for 1893, so far as the gallery prac-
tice OF men now in the brigade is concerned,
will be gone. In view of the great rivalry
which has marked the season up to this time it
seems highly improbable that any captain will
permit half dozen careless men to do ire
trievable damage to his company's record.
JERSEY WANTS A FORT AT SEA GIRT.
Quartermaster General Donnelly of New Jer-
sey has forwarded to the Secretary of War a
requisition for the erection of a fertilization,
with equipments at the Sea Girt camp ground.
The application will be made under an act Of
Congress which authorizes the Secretary Of
War to issue to any state owning a permanent
camp ground facing gulf or ocean two heavy
guns and four mortars, with carriage and plat
form, and to construct a suitable battery and
to appropriate S5 900 for this specific purpose
New Jersey has no fortification along its en-
tire seashore front An effort was made some
time ago to secure fertilization, but the state
had not yet acquired ownership Of the state
camp and it did not comply with the require
ments of the act Of Congress. The fertilization
asked for would be of advantage to the severa!
artillery companies which have lately Joined the
National Guard of the state.

Next Monday the first battalion will go through

TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP.

1t was Senator Stanford's pet theory that
the highest development of the trotter, the
greatest speed with the greatest endurance,
could be attained only by an infusion of
thoroughbred with trotting blood, and that
theory he vigorously championed when
others as vigorously combatted it. To de-
m0nstrate its souDdness he put it in prac-
tce at the stud farm which he establish
ed at Palo Alto and made the greatest trot-
ting breeding establishment in the world
The late Senator Stanford formulated
five rules regarding the development of
speed at Palo Alto, which read First
No horse in condition to be worked for
speed shall be logged las it is worse than use
less waste of force. Second-The amount of
work to be given horse and the distance it
is to be driven must be determined by its
condition. Third-To develop and acquire
speed horse must be driven short distances,
but forced in some part of the work to a
supreme effort. Fourth-IIorses shall not

drive gradually until he has developed the
necessary motive and lung power to carry
the speed the full distance he is expected to
go.H

Enough Money Said 10 Have Been Subscribed

SAS Francisco, July 5.-The site TO

A hollow on the east side of Strawberr,

for the grounds. They are to be laid ou

at each end. In the center is ring where

this the cafes and bazaars are to be ar.
ranged. A board walk similar to tie Mid
say Plaisance at Chicago will front on the
cafes, and will be used as promenade TO,
the throng.
The grounds and the lske will be besuti
fed with cascades, fountains and winding
walks and drives. All that is necessary "a

The park commissioners. and this, it il
Thought, can be secured without any diff
