From the chicago IlHitS-ueraid
According TO La Verne w. Noyes of this
city. who has just returned from a mid
summer pleasure trip to Alaska. naviga-
ton in those northern latitudes possesses
some rather remarkable features.
q believe the inland steamer route to
Alaska is the finest pleasure trip in the
world said Mr.. Noyes the other day.
1.-The scenery is indescribably beautiful
and the water, separated from the Pacific
by a chain of islands, is as smooth as any
harbor in the world. But at many points
along the route the channel is quite ter
tuous and full of rocks, and whenever a
fog is encountered every movement of the
snip is fraught with danger.
II was awakened about 3 o'clock one
morning by a long blast of the steamers
whistle. This struck me unusual. for
vessels are rarely met on that trip and
there are comparatively no settlements.
A moment later 1 heard the captain and
the pilot on the bridge over my stateroom
engage in very lively colloquy.
Il tell you it's Fight there said one Of
them, excitedly; 1t must be, or we'll be on
the rocks in minute!'
THAT was enough for me. I tumDled out
of my berth and, half-dressed, rushed out
on deck just as the whistle gave another
unearthly screech. 1t seemed to be an
near by and l imagined We were meeting
a steamer.
What did I tell your cried the pilot.
There she is all right
after waiting ten minutes or more, hop
ing to be able to catch glimpse Of the
strange craft, 1 accosted the captain and
asked him where the other steamer WAS
My question nearly gave him an epilep,ic
fit. We had run into a dense fog, and cur
pilot was guiding us in that crooked chan
mel and among those treacherous rocks by
the echoes sent back from the mountains
which here and there rise precipitously
from the waters edge.

The run for last Sunday was called Off
on account of the boys moving into their
new quarters at $50 Pennsylvania avenue
southeast. The fact that the club was
going to move was heralded to the boys,
and brought out almost every member for
the occasion. At $50 Saturday evening
they went TO work with a will. and in
about two and a half hours had everything
out OF the old quarters and into the new.
The new rooms are much nicer than the
old. and more desirable in every way. The
paperinS is comparatively new, and the
woodwork being finished in cherry, gives
more light. The club has also purchased
quite number of new pictures and rugs,
which improve the quarters very much

affair SycIe S1ub.
There was meeting of the Affair Cycle
Club Monday evening, at which the sub
ject of the club races was brought up. The
attendance was quite large, and much in
terest was taken in the matter. 1t was de-
cided to have the races this season. and a
committee. consisting of F. Baker Weaver,
Charles Jones and c. r. Murray, was APP
pointed to make arrangements for the
same.
While no date has been set, it is quite
likely that the event will be held about
Thursday, October II, and most likely at
the International Athletic Park. The list
of events will comprise four races, namely:
a third of a mile open, one-mie handicap.
One-mile open and five-nlile handicap. OF
course. all events are for amateurs only,
and entrance to the same is limited TO club
members. A suitable list of prizes for the
occasion will be secured.
Within a short time after the races the
annual banquet of the club will be held.
one of the most enjoyable indoor events of
the season for the club members and their
friends. The evening of the races there
will be an informal meeting held at the
home of one of the members, at which the
prizes will be presented to the members
who secure places at the club meet.
The one-mile open is the race for the
held by Capt. Ed. Hanger. There are
number of members anxious fer the honor.
and will do their level best to win the par
ticular event.
Mr.. Walter 7. Weaver, who presented lis
resignation from the club at a recent meet
ing. was persuaded to withdraw the same
and remain a high private in the ranks.

Berlin Letter In the Chicago Record.
A year or SO ago Prof. Menzel. one of the
most famous of German artists. applied 10
the proper government official for the priv
ilege of lighting up the music room at
Sans Souci, the summer palace of Freder-
lex the Great in order to make sketches
for historical picture he desired TO paint
The official refused permission. He ex-
planned that such a liberty could not be
allowed; that il never had been and never
could be. A few weeks later the emperor
accidentally learned of the incident, and at
once sent an aid-de-camp 10 inform Prof
MenZel that instructions had been given TO
the custodian of Sans Souci to light up he
music room for his benefit on a certain
evening, and that if he could make il con-
venient to bring his sketching ma ;crials
at that time he would have the libcrly to
make as many studies ne liked. The
list expressed his thanks and accepted the
invitation.
When he drove up to the portico OF Sans
Souci on the evening named he was met by
a gentleman wearing the costume of he
favorite abide camp of Frederick the
Great, who escorted him into the palace
where, to his amaZement, he found a party
of twenty or thirty ladies and gentlemen
dressed in the costume of the golden age
of Germany, when Sans Souci was the CEN
ter of social gayety and the artistic and
literary life OF Europe. He was presented
to them one after another in the names or
the historical characters each represented.
and was then informed by the aid-de-camp.
whom by that time he had recognized as
the emperor himself. that they would SIT
as his models, in order that his sketches
might be accurate and complete. At The
close of the evening a supper was scrv"d
in the dining room of Frederick the Great
in a manner that was not only picturesque.
but absolutely accurate. Before supper.
however. at the orders of the emperor, the
ladies and gentlemen posed I'm the bali
room TO represent a party of Frederick the
Greats guests dancing a minuet. The ar
fist made elaborate sketches. which are
being worked into a historical picture that
will have great value.
