At the last meeting of the Board of
Governors of the Amateur Athletic
Union of the United States a resolution
was passed authorizing the President to
appoint a committee to promote American
sports at the Paris Exposition in Aus
tTalian, Great Britain and other associa-
lions having jurisdiction in other coun-
tries over athletic sports of all deserip-
lions, and TO hold there a monster cafni-t
val that will eclipse the one held by the
"a. A. U. at the Worlds Fair in 1898.
President Mcmillan has given the matter
considerable thought and has appointed a
representative of the committee, Colonel
L. NJ. Hamburger of the Chicago Athletic
Association. Colonel Hamburger is well
versed in all points pertaining to the
York representative of Moses P. Hand
ley, with offices at No. IL Broadway. He
is in touch with the powers that be. The
appointment of Colonel Hamburger as
the committees representative assures
the committee that if any favors are to be
bestowed, they will come in for their
share of them.

What An Ocean Steamship
Carries.

The famous steamship Great East
ern, historical y ass ociated with tn.
first efforts to lay Atlantic telegraph
cables, has hitherto been regarded
AS the Largest vessel ever launched.
Its laurels as sea leviathan, how
ever, are of late endangered. Tho
new ocean freighter, Pennsylvania,
although scarcely attaining the ex.
ternal measurements of the former
celebrated ship, will carry far more
cargo. The capacity, indeed, OF
these new freight ships is a matter
for establishment to landsman.
The Pennsylvania, for example, is
a matter for astonishme mt 10 lands
man.
The Pennsylvania, for example, Is
rated at twenty thousand tons bur.
den, and will carry loads such as
may be. briefly itemized thus:
10000 bushels of wheat in bulk,
equal to three hundred and twenty
carloads, or sixteen trains of TWEEN
ty cars each.
1000 tons of -four, eighty car
loads.
1000 boxes of bacon, seventy
five car loads.
5000 tierces of lard, forty eight
carloads.
1900 bales of cotton, forty car
loads.
1900 head of live cattle, eighty
carloads.
5000 quarters of dressed beef.
In addition there will probably
be thousand tons of miscellaneous
merchandise, say eighty loads
more, III AL HOC less Inhn seven
hundred and eighty carloads. or
thirty.nine long tLains of twenty
cars each.
Nor is the above by any means the
entire load of this modern ark. The
Pennsylvania will have accOmmoda.
tons for from eight hundred to one
thousand stecage passengers, as a's>
for a crew of one hundred and fifty
men and fifty cattlemen, with food
and fodder for all
In the fuel bins, too, there will
be carried burden of 1900 tons of
coal or more than one hundred car
loads.
