 i To an Age-Herald reporter Mr. Pillsbury talked most interestingly yesterday after noon. He said that in the latter part of April he would go to England, where the London tournament was to take place in May. These tournaments, MT. Pillsbury says. last as long as two months and are fearful strains on all of the contestants, especially on those who are running neck and neck for the first honors.
 When asked when he was going to chal- lenge MT. Lasker, of Germany, the present champion of the world, MT. Pillsbury said that he was not prepared to say.
 ''Tm not going to play Lasker simply for the glory of getting beaten,' said he. When I do play him, it will be for the championship of the world. and I want to be in perfect condition, mentally and physically at that time.'
 MT. Pillsbury is rather a good looking young man, apparently about twenty-eight years old. He Is an attractive talker, and altogether a very interesting young man.

Last night he took dinner at the res idencs of Robert H.

1.-THE PLAYS


 If Dorothy Morton had e cold, what did the other members of that company have which labored with The Beggar Student" at o'Brien's last nightr Dorothy had a cold because she told the audience so, but that didn't keep people from indulging in lan- guage not at all parliamentary. They didn't censurs Dorothy, because Dorothy looked just as though there had been one supper too many for her, and then Dorothy did have cold. How could they censure Dorothy after that curtain talk. even if it was the first time a woman had been heard make one at OBrien's. It was after the act where Dorothy wears the bridal rousseau that she told about her cold. Dorothy had on c wedding gown. but it was accompanied by a soubrette air. for Dorothy began by saying Ladies and gen. tlemen; little boys and girls" Then fell from Dorothys lips the pitiful tale of how she left Kansas City for the south and ex- pected to find warm climate. She had left her jacket behind, and old remorseless weather, bad champagne or something of the sort had done the rest. Somebody should have explained to Dorothy that 1t took something with "Apollinaris'' on the sido to ward off cold in the south. But Dorothy wasn't blamed one bit, and if she had only told the audience that the entire company was ono sneezing, coughing mass of humanity all would have been well. Now the people are wondering about the ailment of the other members of the cast. There is nothing to say about 'Ths Beggar Student" They didn't hurt 1t. That is, the wound was not mortal, and the opera can live over 1t. But here's hoping that when Dorothy comes to Birmingham again she will not leave her Jacket behind.

Miss Eugenia Blair in her presen- tation of "A Lady of Quality" Miss Blair may well be proud of the reception accord ed her on the beginning of her southern tour. The production of this much talked of play more than fulfilled tho promises made for 1t. The scenic effects and cos tuning were particularly elaborate and her supporting company especially well selected to the requirements of the play, which Miss Blair will present In the principal cities of the south

the method of canned beef preparation. His regiment was in good condition until about July 3, after which it deteriorated suddenly and generally When they became weak and sick the men did not want meat.
 Asked that if during the siege he had made an efrort to get other meat, he said ho had not; that thore was not a piece of paper in the command, and that they mere ly waited for what was brought up from behind, distance of eleven miles.
 Soldiers Had No Choice
 They had no choice in the matter of rations. Examined as to refrigerated beef he declared that 1t was excellent and sat- fSfactory and that no complaints about it were heard. Only one quarter was spoiled. He was unable, he said, to detect any dif- ference between the refrigerated beer is- sued in Cuba and that which had been issued at the posts in this country at which he had been stationed
 Major Henry Jackson, Third cavalry who was with n.s regiment throughout tho Santiago campaign, was called. He said that his experience with the canned roast beef began aboard the transport en route for Cuba and continued until his return to Montauk- Complaints commenced on the way down and continued without inter- mission The men complained Of the meat being stringy, tasteless and unpalatable. The ofncers had remarked the sAms thing to him and he agreed with them fully.
 Colonel Davis asked If witness had made any effort to get any difsFent meat for his men. He replied that there was noth- ing to do but to take what was issued. There was no re0uisition or othss forn,ai- fly. All the rations that could bs sent to the front with the limited transportation facilities were cent The men simply took what was sent them, and officers and men fared alike. When the fresh or rsfriger- ated beef began to arrive, after the cap turs of Santiago, 1t was issued to the men. So far as witness observed, 1t was good.
 It was said, after the court adjourned. that Dp. Daly, whose original "smbalmed beer' report was the start of the nneat con- trovorsy, would probably appear at tonor- row's session.

FAIR CLOSED.
Last Night Saw the Windup fer
This Year.
Fine Weather but Small Attendance
Throughout.--Ex Being Re
moved Yesterday Races.

The fair closed last night, il not in a
blaze of glory, at least with sight OF
satisfaction on the part Of all COM
cerned.
As an exhibition of the resources OF
the state of Oregon it cannot be said
that the fair has been success. Prob
ably only people lately from other
states can realize how far below sue
cess it has really been.
1t is very evident that there is a
screw loose somewhere, prehaps several
of them just what they are it should
be the study Of the new state fair board
TO find out.
There have been some good exhibits
in each department. There have been
some good races, although no fast time
h ~ been made But on the whole the
fair must have been disappointing to
one who expected something worthy Of
state Of Oregons natural resources.
The weather has been most favorable
throughout the fair The attendance has
been discouragingly slim. One reason
has been that the harvest field and hop
yards have held people away, and il the
fair had been one week later there is no
doubt that the attendance would have
been much larger.
