Precisely what prizes will then be offered
is not known. but within forty-f1ve days the
directors will formulate a program which
will. it is understood, be attractive enough
to give the association a good start,
The National Guard authorities have con-
sented to the association having the ex-
elusive use of the range each Saturday the
whole year around. For the present most
of the prizes will be cash. and there is
every likelihood of them being large enough
to tempt quite a crowd out to Ordway Sat
urday afternoons. The directors elected
to membership in the association were
Lieut. A. o. Hutterly, Capt. Virgins and
George C. Stambaugh. A number of appli-
cations for membership were received and

The London Times, commenting upon
the new challenge for the Americas cup,
says:
1T is satisfactory to find that the unto
ward circumstances of the race between
Valkyrie III and Defender have not pre-
vented immediate preparations for another
friendly contest. All that Mr.. Rose asks
is a clear course, and until race can be
sailed under such conditions as will make
1t a test of seamanship and will eliminate
accidents due to a crowded waterway it
will not be regarded by the people Of this
country with the interest and respect 1t
would otherwise demand"
Commenting upon letter from Shepard
Romans in defense of the regatta COM
mittee of the New York Yacht CLUB, who
were bound by deed of trust, the Times
says:
1T would seem as though everything
connected with this cup Is in the grasp of
the dead hand and that nobody Is to blame
for the deadlock We can only suggest
that the cup and trust deed should be care
fully deposited in the strongest strong
room New York can boast, and some other
object should be found for which the
yachtsmen can sail races under conditions
of rational freedom and elasticity"

Lieut. Gov. Mansur was introduced as
the next governor Of Vermont. He said
that he had looked forward with great
pleasure to his trip through the south be-
cause he wanted to compare her cities with
those Of the north. He regarded Atlanta
as the queen city of the south, and de-
clared that her exposition was better than
the government exposition at Philadelphia
in 1876. He said that no city had made
the progress in everything that Washing
ton has since the war, and ne described
the mud on Pennsylvania avenue when he
was here during the war. and when the
northwest section now built up with beau
tiful residences was a hog and cow pasture.
We all rejoice in this, he said, because, al
though we all live away up in Vermont we
feel that we have a common interest in
Washington. and we are proud of 1t. It
would inevitably become the city toward
which all the better elements of American
humanity would converge because it pos
sessed culture, refinement, good society
and a good climate.

Poor indeed.

The prospect OF relief from drastic ca

patton is poor indeed. True, they act upon
the bowels but they do this with violence,
and their operation tends to weaken the

enfeebles. Furthermore, it promotes di-
gestion and a regular action of the liver

against and remedy for malarial COM
plants and rheumatism, and is OF great
benefit to the weak, nervous and aged. AT

borne out by popular experience. Appe
