Bliss, Munger, Rhodes, Windle, Tyler, Hoyland Smith and George Smith are holding of to see how the League progresses before deciding whether to ride for cash or remain amateurs. If this state ment proves true, there will be very few first class racing men left in the amateur ranks
 After an almost endless amount of talk George Dixon, the featherweight champion pugilist of the world, is again matched to fight. He will meet Eddie Pierce at the Coney Island Athletic club Aug. 2 for a purse of $6,500.

 Oxford has formally declined the offer 1 New York editor to pay the expenses of its crew on an American trip, and conse- quently there will be no great internation- al boat race this year. The next boating event of interest will be the annual races of the Middle States Regatta association at Newark, N. J., July 9. The great con tests between amateur oarsmen at this re- gatta always attract widespread interest, and it will not be at all surprising if a rec ord or two is broken this year.

The Action of Feuit on the Teeth.

There is no surer way to destroy the teeth than by the want of brushing or rinzing after eating fruit. In California, where fruit of all kinds Is so cheap for 10 months in the year as to be within the reach of almost the poorest, beautiful teeth are rarely found, while 1t is very common thing to see even young women with false teeth. Excess in the use of fruit sometimes produces undue acidity of the stomach, which also reacts on the testh.-Philadelphia Times.

Fortunately the Valkyrie is swift as the wind, and whether she wins or loses the race is certain to be an exciting one. EARLE H. EATON

which consists in connecting number

the lamps from the ground through the
cable aud they can be lighted or ex-

over the older forms Of war signalling
balloons is that small and readily por-

no car and all It is called upon to raise
is simply the weight OF the lamps and

A SONG OF FAREWELL

We happy birds, oh. whittier fyingi
So swift ye wing away
scarce can mark your trailing pinions
Does there q warmer day
Await on other shores.
To your glad summons quick replyinsi
Oh, linger yet swbilei Ys carry
The summer on your wing:
Too long will winter seem without you,
Too tardy coming, spring.
But melody OF song
In warmer chimes delights TO tarry.
Alasl We may not more entreat you,
When bluer skies await;
When other birds will carol welcomes.
And tales of joy relate.
We can but pray. sweet friends,
That no harsh storms will ever meet YOU
And so-away far out Of seeing
Into the heaven high;
Leaving no mark save that OF music
On earth and sea and sky;
No sweeter song than made
BY your light pinious southwark fleeing.
