How Tonnyson's "Timbnctoo" Passed the
Examlners.

How Tonnyson's "Timbuctoo" Passed the
Examiners.
There Is a story connected with Ten
nyson's prize poem OF "Timbuctoo, "
which one may surely tell without
undue reverence. of a master who
afterward did such wondrous work.
The examiners Of the prize manuscripts
for the year were three. the vice chan
ceilor, who had great reputation but
violent temper. and who did not write
well; a classical professor, who knew
no poetry which was not in dead Lao
guage, and a mathematical professor
II was agreed that each should signify
what he thought of the'poems by the
letters e" and 3D." for good" and
bad"
The vice chancellor had the manu-
scripts first. When they came 10 the
mathematical professor he found Tim
buctoo" scored all over with 'g's." lie
did not understand why; he did not
even understand the poem itself, and
being afraid TO ask the irascible vice
chancellor for his reasons he also wrote
''g" on the production.
The classical professor thought II
rather strange that both his prcdcces-
sors should admire SO unintelligiblc n
work, but, as he confessed, ''hc did not
care one iota about the matter" So he
put down his e" with the rest, and as
40 other poem had three ''g's,' the
prize was unanimously awarded to the
author OF "Timbuctoo.
After the affair was over the three
examiners happened one day 20 meet,
and the vice chancellor, In his absolute
fashion, fell 10 abusing the other two
for their taste in ndmiring the poem.
They replied, with some natural indig-
nation. that they should never have
dreamt Of considering IL. II he had not
scored II all over with 'g'sr

His Presence OF Mind Rewarded by the
Council of Mandarins
More than 1000 years ago the great
city of Picking was called Min; its in
habitants felt very proud Of it's many
ornaments, but exhausted their speech
in praising the public gardens. These
wero really very beautiful. and great
care was exercised that each shrub and
towering plant should be displayed To
the best advantage.
Often. Ina times OF drought. the plants
had suffered for water. SO that the wis
dom OF the mandarin council was tried
to lind some way Of nverting this calam-
ity.. AT last number of large earthen
jars were set I'm different parts Of tho
gardens for the purpose of catching tho

ornamented ON the sides with dragons
and fishes in raised work. IT was very
costly, for IL had taken both time and
skill to produce so large a piece of pot
terry.
One bright day party OF merry little
boys entered the gardens and began to
play games. firing at last of their
sports, they rested themselves in the
shadow of this large jar.
One, more adventurous than the
others, proposed TO climb 10 the top of
the Jar. and try TO catch glimpse of
the water-god, who was said 10 live mt
the bottom of il. But they were all
afraid. SO he commenced his ascent
alone.

could easily step from one fish or drag

THE EAGLE SCREAMED.
YOUNG AMERICA GOT IN HIS WORK
YESTERDAY.
1t Was a GO-as-You-PIeaseC eIebra-
ton in the City-Interesting Cere-
monies at Fort DOugIas-The
Scandinayians at Lake Park.

From long before daybreak yester-
day, until after midnight. last night,
there was continual bang, bang,
bang" as young America showed his
patriotism by firing crackers, bombs
and other noise producers, while at
night the sky was Illuminated with
fireworks of every description.
1t was ''go-as-you-p please celebra-
ton, without any formal programme.
Hundreds of people went to Liberty
park and spent the day picnicing un-
ger the trees; a great crowd went to
Calder's to witness the horse races; the
bicycle meet attracted thousands of
spectators, while thousands upon thou
sands went to the lake resorts.
They We're not all city people. The
low rates made by the Union Pacific
and Rio Grande Western brought a
cloud of visitors from the north and
south, and most of them went to the
lake.
The nearest approach to a formal
celebration was at Fort Douglas. Just
before reveille, the regimental band
marched around the parade ground
playing Yankee Doodle" At 11:30 the
troops turned out in full uni
form. Parade followed and then
the grand salute to "Old
Glory was given at high noon,
and the national salute of q guns was
fired.
The interesting ceremony was wit
messed by number of citizens from
the city.
The Scandinavians had their cele-
bration at Lake Park, and a jolly Gel
ebration it was. There was speech
making, singing, feasting and dane
ing, and the day was very pleasantly
spent

are bound to win. That's why the
Rambler is always to the front

B. Thatcher, on his Rambler racing
wheel, took that easily in 81 fiat, rid
ing against a strong wind.
And the mile scratch, class B. Well,
Weller simply raced away from all
of them, and won as he pleased.
But that wasn't all. In the two
thirds mile scratch, class B, Thatcher
again carried off first honors.
That gives the Rambler team four
firsts in one meet and as for seconds
and thirds-well, Smith, a new man
secured a place in the two-thirds
mile, class A. May was third in the
mile scratch, class A, and was again
third in the five mile handicap, class
a, being the only scratch man to
finish.
Perhaps there We're some others.
The above is enough to show that it
was distinctly a Rambler day. And
remember the reason-the best men

Hon. George w. Thatcher saw his

hummer, with the invitation race for

The anticipated difficulty over Fow-

all class B gents, did not arise. Fow-
Ter was there, but did not offer to
ride.
What's the matter with emitting
those boys races in the future? Salt
Lake has passed the stage when kids"
are needed to fill out the programme.
There are plenty of small meets where
the youngsters can compete, but with
our field of racing men, it's a waste
of time to bring them out at the big
holiday meets.

were enough to use a man ~ for a
