NOTRE DAME, Ind, July 20.-The
most popular athlete in this country to-
day is ]. Fred Powers, of the University
of Notre Dame. who was declared the
champion of America at the meet held
at Bayonne, N. J., on the Fourth Of July,
under the auspices of the Knickerbocker
Athletic club Powers name is known to
every athlete in the East-his homeland
in the West, where he has been almost
constantly before the public since he en-
tered Notre Dame university in 1898
His first appearance in Western college
athletics was at the invitation meeting
given by Chicago university in 1898. His
remarkable ability was then practically
unknown. and in consequence much sur
prise was shown when he easily defeated
Herschberger at feet 10 inches in the
pole vault, the event having all along
been conceded to Herschberger by the
Chicago men. During the same season
Powers went to Indianapolis with Notre
Danes newly organized track team to
compete in the annual meeting of the
State Amateur Athletic association, and
in consequence the championship banner
for that year was captured by Notre
Dame
When the athletic carnival was held
in Milwaukee, last January, Powers, to-
gether with O'Brien and Notre Danes
famous Splinter, Corcoran, was sent to
represent the local university, and it was
at this meeting that Powers established
a new Western intercollegiate record of
feet 1OA inches for the high jump,
which record vas afterward broken
both by himself and Louis Grinnel at
the annual meet of the w. A. A. A. in
Chicago In June.
HE BEATS HERSCHBERGER.
In the triangular meet held at Notre
Dame last March between the UNIVERSE
ties of Chicago, Illinois and Notre Dame
the famous athlete won the high jump,
pole vault lover Herschberger), broad
jump and shot-put, making the last
named event the distance of Al feet Ii
inches, his best mark In the dual meet
with Purdue, in April, he alone made six
more points than Purdues team of ten
men, the score standing rs to IA in Notre
Danes favor, and Powers making 20 of
that number.
Powers work in the dual meet between
Chicago and Notre Dame last May was
excellent, he being credited with four
f1rsts and one second place. But perhaps
his greatest work-that which tested his
wonderful power of endurance-was at
the Western intercollegiate meet, held at
Ravenswood, in May. He won the shot
put and the discus-throw, tied for first
place in the high jump and pole vault
and received second place In the broad
jump. The events were run off in such
an order that he was obliged to complete
in three events all at the same time. Not
once, however, did the great athlete APP
pear fatigued.
Powers also helped Notre Dame to car
ry away the Indiana state championship
banner this year for the second time, and
besides entering the all-round champion

New York, Sept. 29.-The grassy
heights of both Wadsworth and Hamil-
ton were tinged with spectators as the
Olympia approached the Narrows. Sud
denly a tongue of red flame leaped
from the granite side of Fort Wads-
worth and, like the recoil, came a
streak of fire from the granite wall on
the opposite side. Then alternately
from each side came the deafening roar
of the admiral's salute of seventeen
guns. Slowly and majestically the Olynl-
pia passed the snoke-wreathed forts,
answering the salute gun for gun, until
she became so enveloped in her own
smoke that it seemed she might have
broken her steam chest. Then she
pushed through the smoke curtain and
stood revealed before the admiring
gaze of the whole Atlantic squadron.

FIRST FORMAL ceremony.
Presentation of Loving Cup by
New York City.
"C0ME HERE! YOU CAPTAIEsp'

The second day of New York City's
official welcome to Admiral Dewey
opened cool and clear. There was hard
~ cloud in the sky and the tempera-
ture was just low enough to keep the
crowds on the move for warmth. Many
people were out at sunrise to secure de-
sirable points from which to view the
parade, but lower Broadway was well
filed with those who were anxious to
have look at Dewey on his way to
City Hall, whether they were to see the
great parade or not.
The first ceremony was the presenta-
ton at the city hall of a gold loving
cup to the admiral by Mayor Van
Wyck on behalf of the city of New
York
! When the mayor had concluded his
presentation speech, Admiral Dewey
! began to reply by saying:
1T would be quite impossible to ex-
press in words how deeply an moved
/ by this-all these honors, one after the
Pther'-that beautiful cup, the freedom
of the city, this great, magnificent re
ception. l cannot say what want to,
but speaking for myself and the gal
liant squadron had the honor to COM
mand at. Manila, L thank you from the
bottom of my heart"
| After the formal ceremonies, Admiral
| Dewey went about shaking hands with
his friends.
Come here, all you captains he
said, addressing the naval captains
present. Then he introduced each to
the audience present.
Captain Lamberton of the Olympia, -
he cried, Captain Wildes of the Bos-
ton; Captain Coghlan of the Raleigh;
Captain Dyer of the Baltimore; Captain
Wood of the Petrol; Captain Walker of
the Concord"
| When the captains had all assembled
he waved his hand toward them and
said:
''These are the men who did it.
These are the men who should be
thanked. Without them l could do
nothing"
The cup stands thirteen inches, has a
capacity of four and a half quarts and

Marvellous Functions OF q Discovery Made
I'm New York.
New York, Sept. Electricity in
capsules is the latest thing in New
York. a company has been formed
with SIS, ZOO, 900 capital, to supply pow
er in 10 or IL grain capsules, which can
be bought by the box and carried
around in the vest pocket.
One of these capsules will furnish
electricity enough to lseepa light burn
ing all night. The light can be fur
nished at less than one-fifth CT mill
per lamp per hour for each 16-candle
incandescent globe. The company in
tends to sell power at 10 cents an hour
for one full horse power. The capsules
can be used for propelling automobiles.
The president of the company, John
Post. who is the discoverer of the new
power, says it can be used in the most
remote and isolated places as easily as
in New York City, and that farmer
can employ it to heat and light his
house, to draw water, to make butter,
saw wood, run threshing machine,
drive fans and keep out flies.

THE GREAT LAND PARADE.
Fifty Thousand Men Marching witt
Millions Looking on.
scHLEY COMES AFTER DEWEY

New York, Oct 2.-The land parade
capped the climax. Che city, state and
nation united in one vast demonstra-
ton worthy of the hero of Manila The
earth trembled beneath the tread of
so, 600 men and the air was torn with
the shouts of millions.
Walls of people miles long stretched
down the line of march on either side,
dense, impregnable mass.
Seventeen aerial bombs from the top
Of the Waldorf-Astoria heraIded the
approach to the reviewing stand in
Madison square.
When the head of the column appear
ed, the jackies of the Olympia march
ing, rank on rank, with an easy, roll
ing step, and Sousa's bluecoated band
playing as only it can play, it was a
poor American whose heart did not
beat higher. Everybody greeted the
advancing column with cheers.
After then came the Hero. the admir-
FL, and the officers of the fleet in all the
glory of their gold-laced uniforms and
yold-trimmed cooked hats All were in
open barouches.
There is no conceivable kind of noise
the multitude did not make. Every
body waved and cheered and nearly
everybody jumped up and down in
frantic enthusiasm. Old men were as
enthusiastic ss boys, and just about as
noisy.
The three admirals, Howison, Samp-
son and Philip, as they rode by with
their brilliantly ACQUIRED stats, were
easily recognized and got fiattering ap-
plause.
Both Major General Miles and Major
General Merritt got big ovations, but it
was Rear Admiral Schley, who divided
the honors with the central figure of
the day. He received demonstration
second only to that of Dewey. Before
he got to Madison square Admiral
Schley was up to his arms in flowers.
The West Point cadets, in their
snowy uniforms of gray with white
duck trousers, moved like one man; 500
legs moving like clockwork, every cap
and bayonet in perfect line.
Before Madison square was reached
Admiral Dewey and the reviewing party
in carriages passed before the front OF
the procession and alighted at the re-.
viewing stand. There for the first time
the admiral saw the great arch of VIC
tory in his honor.
Admiral Dewey reviewed the entire
parade. He was very tired at the end
of it. It had taken just three hours
and twenty-eight minutes to pass. The
first body of the admiral's sailors pass
ed him at 2:12 p. IN. The last men in
line went by at $40 p. II.
There were about 600 veterans of the
civil war, and about 200 of these were
Grand Army men. Some wore the
Grand Army uniforms and caps, but the
majority were in plain civilian clothes.
The rest of the veterans were Loyal
Legion men. There were several thou
sand veterans of the Spanish war. Most
of them wore their service clothes.
