THE WORLD OF SPORT.

Among recent efforts for promoting
various forms Of athletics during the
winter season conspicuously successful
example is the Winter Tennis club Of
Newton, Mass. The season about to
open will be the fourth in which this
club has provided facilities for playing
lawn tennis indoors sunder conditions
that have proved successful to marked
degree. The court of the Winter Tennis
club is located in the spacious hall of
Bray block, Newton Center. A large
canvas is stretched tightly over the
whole floor area and secured firmly SO
as not to give under the feet no matter
how violent the play may be. This can
vas offers just about the same resistance
as hard turf court and insures an &C.
curate and natural bound to the balls.
1t is painted green, with the lines in
white, in this respect maintaining the
similarity to an outdoor court. To pro-
vide as much contrast as possible be-
tween the white balls and the surround
ings black cloth is draped around the
walls, and against this the balls can al
ways be clearly seen.
The lighting of the court for evening
play is one of the chief features Eight
powerful arc lights furnish the "day
light" Rehectors are placed underneath
each light and throw the light up on to
white sheeting spread across the roof
of the hall. The refectors are so adjust
ed as to conceal the direct rays from the
eyes of the players, and the result is that
this light, as secondarily reflected over
the court from this sheeting, is soft,
evenly diffused and steady, the latter
quality being most essential.

has come to stay we are not pre-
pared to say, but, as usual in all
lines, we buy the latest. We
looked the market through care
fully and decided on the Hender-
son as the best in fit and workman
ship. They are well worth 81. 2s,
but we will sell them for the popu-
lar price of S1.00. In long corsets
at $1.O0 we keep the r. & g.,

set that will not break and still be
dressy and perfect fitting, that can
be sold at $1.25. We have the ex
elusive sale for Owosso and shall

jackson, the proposition OF OhiO's truest
and purest Bryanite, Mr.. Allen y. Myers,
for eliglblity to the democratic party was
given rather cold shoulder. Mr.. Myers
proposed test OF true democracy consisted
of either having vted tor Bryan in 1896 or
for thu silver democratic ticket in 1897. A
number OF men were present, older than Mr..

The year 1897 shows Colorado our banner
mining state. Her total production of metals
aggregated S46, $50, 600, of which S22, 500, 900
was gold. Yet Notwithstanding this enorm-
our value taken from the bowels of the
earth, her farm statistics show the value of
her agricultural products for the year to
have exceeded even the products of her
mines.

A new outlet for the surplus product of
our coal mines has been discovered. 1t is
stated that American coal can be delivered
in Brazil at a price to easily compete with
English coal. There Is no reason why this
should not be true, In view of the ease of
production In Alabama and other Southern
coal fields, and the demand In Brazil for
supplying steam vessels and smelling is
large.

Englishmen are finding serious fault with
our new tariff law, as viewed from an Eng
lish standpoint The official figures of the
Home Office indicate that British exporta-
tons during 1897 showed a decrease of
nearly $40, 100000 and British authorities
claim it is the result of the new tariff law in
the United States, which has set our people
to manufacturing again, and thus cut off
large importation of English and other for
eign goods.

Farm prices keep up and our export trade
is enormous. The United States furnished
in 1897 more than One-half of the wheat re
quired by European importing countries
Our exports of American wheat and -four
aggregated 1872, 600, 900 bushels out of the
worlds shipments of 800. OOO 600 bushels of
that product. The increased demand abroad
for corn has been one of the most satisfactory
commercial features of 1897. During the
month of December nearly twice as much
corn went to Europe as in the corresponding
month of 1895. The people of Europe are
slowly learning that corn is good for man as
we'll as beast. The total exports of corn last
year amounted to 1876, 600, 900 bushels, or
nearly 20, 00O, 900 bushels more than in any
previous year. In the six years preceding
1897 the average annual expectations of
corn was only GO, 10000 bushels. 1t is
clear, therefore, that the various efforts
which have been made to bring this king of
American cereals into favor with foreigners
are beginning to bear fruit.

Two candidates for the presidency of the

already been announced-P. T. Walsh. of
Detroit, and J. w. Thorn, of Owosso. 1t is
not unlikely that the next annual convention
will be held at Owosso, although the
Tradesman understands that no move has
yet been made In that direction. 1t Is re-
ported that Port Huron will renew the invi-
tation extended year ago. and it is barely
possible that jackson may also put in bid

hardly adequate to the occasion. The place

Washington: l sent Colonel Potter on a fast vessel to Iloilo on the 24th to com municate with the Spanish general, Rios. The latter evacuated on the evening of the 24th and Potter was thirty-nine hours late The insurgents took possession of the city on the 26th, and Potter found Aguinaldo's flag flying. Cannot now re- port the probable results; will not hear from there for four days, as there is no cable communication. The Spanish forces have evacuated all the stations in the Mindanao, by orders, they say, from Madrid OTIS.
 The evacuation by the Spaniards of all the Philippine ports, as reported by General Otis, although doubtless in- spired by desire to secure their safety by concentration, undoubtedly has done much to complicate the problem already presented to the War Depart ment of extending the military iuris- diction of the United States over the islands. It will now be necessary to expedite the execution of the original plans and it may be fully expected that within week important events will have happened in the Philippines. It is presumed that General Otis will demand the surrender of Iloilo into his hands, and this demand may at once raise the issue between the insurgents and our own Government of the DOS session of the islands.

SAN JOSE, Dec. 28.-The extrava- gance of the San Jose School Board continues to attract attention. While the schools the trustees have gone right on buying the most costly supplies. In fact the janitors have been given al- most carte blanche, and what extrava- gant tendencies they lacked in purchas- ing have been supplied by members of the committee on supplies.
 A bill allowed Supervisor F. M. Stern, who deals in harness, saddles, etc., shows the nature of the boards ex- travagance. The items amount to $150 and the purchases were delivered be- tween August 1 and November 3O The principal charges are 8 for feather dusters and $4 90 for floor brushes. The dusters are made of ostrich feathers and are of the very finest kind Other articles are chamois skins and sponges, but the expensive dusterS and floor brushes make up the major part of the bill At this rate it will cost the city several hundred dollars a year for dus- ters and brushes. A cheaper and as serviceable article could be purchased for half the money.

ESTIMATED COST
 NICARAGUA CANAL Preliminary Report of
 Commission. THREE FEASIBLE ROUTES
MAXIMUM FIGURES SUBMITTED
 ARE $124,ooo,ooo.
Senator Morgan, However, Believes That One Hundred Million Will Cover the Entire
 Expense.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Copies of the preliminary report of the Nicaragua Canal Commission, of which Admiral Walker is chairman, have been fur nished to Senator Morgan and others interested in the bill now pending in Congress on that subject.
 The commission has not fully worked out all the details of construction of the proposed canal, but the report simply presents briefly the views of the commissioners as to the feasibility of the work and the maximum cost at which it is believed the waterway can be constructed.
 Three routes are spoken of, viz: The old low level, the high level, or Menocal route, and an intermediate route, and all of these, Senator Morgan says, the commission considers feasible of con- struction.
 For the purpose of arriving at an estimate of probable maximum cost the commission submitted figures on the low level route, which the Senator says is considered the longest and most ex- pensive. For this route Admiral Walk CT estimated the cost would be $124.000 900 and Professor Haupt $123, ,0OO. .0O0. while General Haines added 20 per cent to the figures because of various con oitions, chiefly the question of the cost of labor, which it was thought impos- sible to figure with absolute definite ness.
 The report, says the Senator. shows exclusively that. the project is an en- tirely feasible one, and that in its con- struction the Government has the choice of any of these routes It shows
