A Day Spent in Parades, Picnicking and
Games, With Dancing in the
EveDino,

SANTA MONICA, CAL, Aug. 22-To-
day was great one here, at least in a
Pythian sense. A big crowd was in at
tendance and every one, from jolly Chan
cellor McGlashan to Adolph, the mascot
Rathbone Sisters, who, by the way, are a
mighty big family, enjoyed the festivities
equally with their brothers.
At 8:15 A. NJ. guard mount was held and
then there was battalion drill from to 10
A. NJ, which was reviewed by Chancellor
McGlashan. After dinner there was a
grand parade about town. The picnic
festivities were interspersed with music,
parades, speeches, games and lunch. the
last of which was pretty well in evidence
all day long. This evening there was
more dancing.
Tomorrow divine services will be held
at camp at o'clock. District Deputy
Grand Chancellor, Rev. 1. M. Merlin
Jones, preaching, with music rendered by
members of tie order.
Mrs. Lydia Monroe, grand chief of the
Rathbone Sisters, arrived to-day and was
warmly welcomed by both the sisters and
brothers.

ton has eight mem bers, as follows: II. r.

MODESTO FLOUR MILL BURNED.
Eleven Thousand Sacks of Barley also
Consumed.

EIeUen Thousand Sacks of Barley Also
Consumed.
MODESTO, CAI., Aug, 22.-Modesto had
a large fire to-day which completely de-
stroyed the Modesto -four mill and HOO
sacks of barley which was awaiting crush
ing. During the temporary absence of
the engineer the engine set fire'to large
stack OF straw which was used for fuel.
The building was large two-story frame
structure and was soon mass of flames.
The fremen devoted their attention to
saving the frame structures adjoining.
The mill was valued at $4,000, belonged to
w. B. Wood and was not insured. The
barley belonged to number of farmers.
The lessee of the mill was A. d. Willard,
and he loses his summers work. He had
just put the mill in order and expected a
good seasons work.

age each year of 10000 acres, and Mr..
Spreckels asked that contracts be signed
and delivered TO him showing that the
farmers would guarantee that acreage for
the ensuing two years.
Since that time committee has been at
work securing the necessary contracts
from the farmers. The committee has
fact that many of our large landholders
are out of the State-the largest land
holder, David Jacks, who owns 20, 900 acres
of beet lands, being in Europe and could
not be reached by cable-but notwith-
standing these difficulties the committee
has worked among the small landholders,
who signed contracts readily.
To-day an answer had to be given Mr.
Spreckels, and q mass-meeting was called
to make UP the balance of the acreage re-
au,red. The large pavilion was filed with
farmers anxious that tie project should
be a success William Vanderhurst was
chairman of the meeting, and speeches
were made by Hon. w. J. Hill, Edward
Berwick, James Bardin and others. But
the speech of Mr.. Bardin was the most
practical. He gave a detailed statement
of the result of his crop of beets raised on
225 acres.
The net yield for the 225 acres was $50 so
per acre. He had paid out $4,000 for freight
on his beets, which he would have saved
had we a factory at Salinas, which would
have made his net profit about ST. so per
acre. He closed his address by saying:
"Claus Spreckels can get along without
the Salinas Valley, but The Salinas Valley
cannot get along without Claus Spreck-
els"
Great enthusiasm prevailed all through
the meeting As a result contracts for the
ensuing two years for the acreage required
have been signed and Salinas rejoices over
her future. Already people are pouring
in here from other sections of the State in
search of beet lands and it is expected
that the population of our town will be
doubled within a year, for all of which
Salinas owes a vote of thanks to Claus
Spreckels. the sugar king and public bene-
factor.

themselves-were proud and tigotad
All who were not Greeks were barbar-
ia3ns, and consequently not to be
cOUntenanced; hence they had no op-
portunity for estimating the strength
and skill Of the athletes of other ma
tons.
IT must be admitted however, that
for long ages the highest physical de-
~ yelopment reached by mortal man was
attained among the Greeks, and the
student of history still enthusiastically
dwells upon those glorious festivals
wherein the true beauty of manhood
was shown in its perfection.
fENen in this prosy age there is some
thing thrilling in the thought that
eight of our American boys are now
on that classic ground Ieady to enter
those historic lists to try issues with
the formidable athletes Of all the rest
of Christendom.
The fact that Princeton university
and the Boston Athletic association
were the only two organizations to step
into the breach and endeavor to assert
Americas prestige in the greatest tour
nament of the age does not discourage
americans, for many other lands will
not be more largely represented. They
have, moreover, full faith in the quail
ity Of our representatives and believe
that in these critical and rigorous tests
of their skill and endurance they will
acQuit themselves with credit to their
country.
The plan Of this unique international
contest was suggested at congress
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-04-05

and John Graham, the manager, is the one
who can spur them to the exercise of the
utmost limit of their powers.
Thomas E. Burke, the international 44O-
yard champion runner, will be in July twen-
ty-oDe years Of age. He weighs IA pounds
in condition, and is feet II inches in height.
He was born in Boston and is a graduate of
the English high school. He made his ath-
letic debut at the games of the Suffolk A. G..
July 4, 1893, when he won the 440-yard novice
race on poor track in IS As seconds.
At the indoor championship of the Inter
scholastic A. A., March IT, 1894 he won the
6OO-yard run in 1 minute 20 % seconds which
record stands for the association at the pres
ent time.
Ellery H. Clark is a student at Harvard,
and as he IS a high scholarship man he
went with the team with the consent of the
faculty. He has been prominent in athletics
for several years, and his performances have
been very creditable. Although he has par
tlclpated in about all the handicap meetings
ana won many trophies he is probably known
much better as an all-round athlete His
work at the New England Amateur Athletic
union championship last season was remark
ably fine. He scored 5,645 points against
Carpenters $3.50. In the championship games
OF the maritime provinces last summer he
won five first prizes and broke several rec
ords. He will be entered for the high and
broad jumps, the hop, step and jump and
the hammer, If this last event is added to
the programme, as is possible.
Arthur Blake will be entered in the 900
and l,5O0 meter runs, and also the 3O-mile
run from Marathon to Athens. He became
known to distance runners in 1885, when he
engaged in cross country runs. He has a
mile indoor record of 4 minutes, 80 4-5 Sec
onds made when he won the indoor cham
pionship Of the N. E. A. A. u. two years
ago.

buttresses and by the direction of that
public-spirited Athenian, Herodes At
ticus, fitted them with seats of white
marble. In getting the material with
which to cover these immense en-
banked slopes with seats Atticus very
nearly exhausted all the quarries on
Pentelikon. All this marble, or nearly
all, disappeared into the lime kilns Of
the middle ages. When King George
had the place carefully eXcavated at
his own expense, twenty-five years
ago, all that remained of that vast
mass of marble were the upper goal
and the curb of the sphendone or cir
cular end.
To restore this great amphitheater
and furnish it in the splendid fashion
of the olden time has been the ambi-
ton of the great Bikelas for many
years past, and now, though the fin
isl1ed work is still far distant, it is in
sight, and it is only question of time
when this monument of Athenian
grandeur will be fully rebuilt and Ath-
ems will have her noble stadium per-
haps, more purely classic in its archi-
tectural details than ever before.
For the present only the first three
rows Of seats around the whole course
and the entire height of the circular
end are done in marble. The remain
ing rows of seats are made of COM
mon stone or wood, which will be
gradually replaced by marble as the
permanent committee can gather
means wherewith to prosecute the
work

not amiss to say that the erection of
the statute of Mr.. Averoff executed by
the eminent Athenian sculptor, Brutos,
which stands at the principal entrance
to the stadium. was in most excellent
taste and constitutes a fitting recog-
milton of the patriotism which this
worthy Greek has so often and in so
many ways exhibited
The Panathenaic stadium, wherein
the wrestlers and racers and other
athletes of the world will compete for
honors, is a monster amphitheater of
earth and stone, built originally by the
ancient Greeks, TIC B. c., and used
by them until the Emperor Theodosius
abolished the Olympian games A. D..
394. The semi-circular basin in the
hills just outside the city of Athens
was natural formation, and the
Greeks. taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity afforded by this ready made
arena, cut down the embankments to
suit their convenience, put in stone

At this action of Princeton, Boston's ambi-
| ton was again spurred, the pride of the b.
A. A. was touched, and the sum necessary to
defray the expenses of the Boston team was at
once forthcoming. And so a brawny Quartette
of bright young men accompanied by Man
ager John Graham, came down from ''the

the 21st day of last month.
| The four Princetonians who were chosen to
bear the colors of "Old NassanIs Garrett,
| Tyler, Lane and Jamison, are worthy of the
honorable task to which they are committed.
Robert Garrett Jr., captain Of the team, Is
native of Baltimore, and son of Robert
Garrett, formerly identified with THE Balti-
more & Ohio railroad. He is an. all-round
athlete and holds the college record for put
ting the siXteen-pound shot Qorty feeD and
for high jumping five feet nine inches). He
has entered the shot put discus throwing and
bar vaulting events in the Olympian games,
and his friends think he will win them all.
Albert c. Tyler has made his mark in vari-
Gus contests. He excels at polo vaultng to
which he has almost exclusively devoted him

vaulting of 10 feet 10 inches. He played
right tackle on the football team last year.

| Francis A. Lane is a wonderful fellow in
the world of athletics and has made remark
| able record. At Wittenburg academy in
Springfield, o., where he prepared for col
lege he won the all-round championship two
| years in succession. He Is the fastest sprinter
at Princeton. Last year he repeatedly breast
| ed the tape at 100 yards In 10 seconds. He IS
entered in the 100 meter equivalent to ITO
YARDS race in the Olympian games.
| Herbert B. Jamson, who was chosen at
the last minute to take the place of Calfelt,
| who was unable to go, has no great record
back of him, but he is young man of great
premise. AS racer he will probably score
/ some victories, for he Is very fleet of foot.
He will do some short sprints and also try
his luck in the 400 meter race. Mr. JamI-
son is of the class Of '97.

known to the amateur athletes of America.

able men when met in the athletic arena,
