Notes.

President Stone has been rusticating in
the wiIds of Shasta during the past
month and arrived back in time TO attend
the very successful demonstration at the
Temple on Saturday last.
A general revival of interest in the
leagues list of enterprises may now be
expected.
very elaborate tournament at the
Presidio was projected last night at the
residence of the president. Colonel
George Stone, Charles B. Perkins and
Lieutenant Roudlez formed the consult
ing party and started the ball. General
Shafter has very kindly offered every
facility in his power and the affair will
eclipse anything ever before offered on
the reservation. Troops from all parts of
the Coast will be represented and prizes
OF great value will stimulate the men. A
prominent feature will be a cavalry
charge of fifty mounted men on each OPP
posing side. AS the dav selected-Admi
sion day-is a Stale holiday there will
undoubtedly be an immense crowd.
Private advices from Washington hint
at the coming of General Alger, the Sec
retary of War, in time to participate in
the affair. The families of the general

in way back Michigan davs, and hence

journey.

of very attractive special features are being
now arranged. Lincoln Post of the Grand
