The Apartments of the President Elect q
the Arlington, Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-A correspond
ent writes as follows in regard to the
quarters selected for the president-elect
at the Arlington
The particular rooms which already
go glibly as the Cleveland rooms" are
on the second floor, and include par
lor, diningroom and three bedrooms for
the especial use of Mr.. Cleveland's fam
lily; also parlor and three bedrooms
for Colonel Lamont and parlor and
three bedrooms for Mr.. Dickinson.
Entering a hall where an exquisite
Venetian lamp burns softly in lieu OF
sunshine, which is shut out, to the
right opens Mrs. Clevelard's spacious
parlor. Here five windows afford a
food of light, subdued by draperies OF
delicately wrought lace and lustrous
silk.
Leading from the drawing room is
Mrs. Cleveland's bedroom. In the
adjoining bedroom small white and
gold bed is consigned to Baby Ruth
Beyond this is Miss Cleveland's room.
Opening to the left from the hall il
the diningroom, which is furnished ir
oak, with .;littering array of china
and cut glass. 1t is interesting to know
that Mrs. Cleveland will use u knife
fork and spoon which were once the
property of the Empress Eugenia, ant
the president-elect will drink his coffee
from cup that at one time belonged
| to Nano1ean RonaDarte

of a screen placed across the corridor
at the opening of which Mr.. Cleveland
butler, Sinclair, will be stationed.
Mr.. Cleveland will be accompanied
by four servants in addition to Bah,
Ruth's nurse. Two servants of the ho
tel, butler and a waiter will also b,
assigned to his exclusive use. A chef

CINCINNATI, Feb. f7.-Mr. Thomas
Ballantine, Of Newport, KY, has a
little daughter of remarkable musical
attainment. About a year ago she sur.
prised her parents by attempting to
follow them ON the piano. Since that
day she has. without instruction OF
apparent effort made such astonishing
progress that she has now over twenty
five pieces in her repertoire. In duets
with her mother she keeps unerring
time and plays with firm touch.
The little ladys talents have been
kept a secret, but one day last week she
accompanied her father to his place of
business, a well-known piano house
on Fourth street. and to every ones as.
tonishment calmly took her seat at one
OF the instruments and played away
most unconcernedly. Mr.. Ballantine
has always refused to have her play be-
fore people, but since her debut last
week he has consented to let he play
occasionally for benevolent purposes.

The Subject of Discussion at Meeti
of Prison Directors,

The Subject of Discussion at a Meeting
of Prison Directors.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. PA meeting
of the Board of State Prison Directors
was held last evening at San Quentin.
Warden Hale reported that yesterday
he sold 100000 Jute bags at S57 30 per ], 900,
and still had 1,15O,O0O on hand. He also
reported that the jute mill has Just started
to work on the new jute that arrived from
Calcutta on the British ship Dumbarton
Rock. He stated that the price of this
jute was high, and brought the price of
manufacturing up to about five cents per
bag. Inquiry had been made of him for
burlap, and he had offered 10000 to 200
600 yards for sale. No bid, however, had
been made and no sales effected.
President DePue here brought up the
selling price of iute bags, and said that "a
cents had been offered in San Francisco
yesterday.
He called upon Warden Hale to pro-
duce list of sales of bags, saying: SIT
has been claimed that some purchasers do
not furnish the necessary affidavits, and
if it is not so l want to give you an op-
portunity to deny it in public"
Warden Hale produced number of
orders for bags, and said that as they had
just been filed he would not be able to
get all the affidavits until return mails.
A number of affidavits were exhibited.
Several sales, the Warden said, had been
made to farmers at Santa Maria and San
Luis Obispo. The bags had been shipped
to their agents to be distributed to them.
''Some people," said Director Sonntag.
think in San Francisco that others than
farmers are securing quantities of iute
bags. hear rumors on California street
on the subject right along. The States
price of selling of 5.73 cents, and the cur
rent market price of 7s cents is a wide
margin. If the law gave the directors
power in the matter we could dispose of
every bag on hand at the sliding price
quoted"
Attorney-General Hart has been asked
to give an opinion relative to the consti-
tutionality of the Ostrom law, and until
he answers the directors will do nothing
more.

The Local Boxers Win In Two Events
of the Tournament.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 25.-At the
Olympic Clubs boxing tournament to-
night for championships of the coast the
first two to put in an appearance were
the eather-weights Joseph Muller, 1874
pounds, and Thomas Lyons, 124 pounds,
both unattached. They proved to be
fairly well matched, but Lyons had
clearly the best of it and was awarded
the contest.
The next bout was in the lightweight
class, the contestants being II. J. Span
jer, I3l pounds, of the Sacramento Ath-
letic Club, and Edward Kelly, I35 pounds.
unattached. Both showed to be tall and
wiry young men, The greatest caution
was exhibited in the first round. The
second found the Sacramento man more
on the aggressive and apparently a
sure winner. An upper-cut staggered
Kelly in the third round and Spanjer
had much the best of the round. The
fourth round was not contested, Spanjer
being awarded the contest. The Sacra-
mento delegates cheered Justify.
Two bantams next appeared. They
were Charles A. Reno, lib pounds, Of tho
San Francisco Athletic Club and joseph
Doyle, 1lll pounds, of the Pastime Club
Of Portland. The judges awarded the
bout to Reno.
Fred Carter, 134 pounds, of the Olym-
pic Club and j. Barnard, 1872 pounds,
came out next. Both are entered in the
lightweight class. Carter was announced
the winner.
The welter weights were next to have
an inning. James McQueeny, 142
pounds, of the San Francisco Ath-
letic Club, and Stewart Carter,
1921 pounds OF the Olympic Club
entered. Carter got the decision.
The next contest degenerated into a
slogging match from the call Of time.
The contestants were n. Burley, 15S
pounds, and Frank Craig, 152. 1t was
hammer-and-tongs affair. Both fell to
the ground together. Craig was all but
out several times, but the call of time
saved him. In the beginning of the sec
ond round Craig stayed down ten sec
| onds, and Burley got the verdict.
! Peter Skillman, 1874 pounds, Of the
Olympic Athletic Club, and I. G. Mooser,
| ll3 pounds, of the Sacramento Athletic
| Club. next boxed in the ban
tam class, but Skillman fought
| pamely. and had the best Of the
| intigting. The fourth round was hotly
| contested by Mooser, who did most OF
the leading. The judges gave him the
bout. This made two victories for Sacra-
mento.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

special 70 Jue hECORD-ONION.
SAN Francisco, Aug. A.-Ground was
broken this afternoon at Golden Gate
Park for the Midwinter Fair. a large
number of business houses all over the
city were closed this afternoon on account
of the ceremonies. The large markets
were closed. Flags were displayed in
conspicuous places in recognition of the
occasion. Large crowds went early to
the park. The weather was fine and
favorable to a large attendance. BY 1:30
O'Clock the space in front of the stand
was jammed with people.
After the parade, which consisted of
five divisions of military, under COM
mand of General Dickinson, the cere-
monies in the park were opened with
prayer, followed by an address from the
President of the Day, r. p. Hammond.
NJ. H. DeYoung read the report of the
Executive Committee. General W. II.
L. Barnes delivered an address, as did
Irving M. Scott and Rabbi Voorsanger.
A blessing upon the exposition and
those who were there assembled was then
offered by the clergy of the Catholic
Church, and the most important event of
Iu6 dIIeTnOOn IOllOWeu.
Director-General DeYoung, with his
silver spade in hand, performed the oner-
GUS duty.
simultaneously with the turning of the
spade full of soil the batteries in the dis
tance, at given signal, fired a salute of
seventeen guns, the sound of which was
enhanced by the popular lines Of the Ma
tional anthem, America" given by a
chorus of 1000 voices, accompanied by
the combined efforts of the military
bands, under the direction of Adolph
Bauer.
AS the familiar words were sung the
audience, with its enthusiasm at it's great
est pitch, joined in the song until the en-
tire valley resounded with the grand vo-
cal rendition.
AT the same time the laboring men,
who had been waiting patiently for their
signal, turned their implements into the
soil and the great work had begun.
But there was yet an important feature
of the programme to be accomplished.
The precious earth that had been so
carefully assailed by Mr.. De Young and
his spade had to be disposed of, together
Win d OaiO tho SONSIdl OLuoT dTIlCleS,
and to Colonel Andrews the responsible
ity of this work had been assigned.
When the first shovelful of earths was
put up at public auction the first bid was
$3.50. The bidding was spirited, and the
earth was finally knocked down to Roos
Bros. for $780, The spade with which the
first earth was turned was sold to Davis
Bros. for Sl05.
The S500,O00 guarantee fund has been
nearly all subscribed by citizens, and the
work of constructing buildings and pre-
pairing the grounds will proceed without
interruption until the fair opens.
1t is expected that a large part of the
exhibits at the Chicago Fair will be
brought out here, as Congress has passed
law allowing the foreign goods to be
