THROUGH YELLOWSTONE PARK
views OF the Magnificent Scenery Are
Exhibited mt Westminster Prcs-
byterinn Church.

President w. W. Wylie OF the wyie Per-
manent Camp company OF Yellowstone park
lectured at Westminster Presbyterian church
last night on The Beauties OF the Park
illustrating them by scores OF excellent
views. He was interrupted several times
by the popping OF his machines, which
seemed to be affected by the heated atmos
phere IN the church necessitated by the
codness OF that outside.
Mr.. Wylie first went to the park about
twenty years ago, so that he is capable Of
speaking from experience OF Its magnificent
scenery and 10 instruct visitors how they
may reach the finest points OF observation.
He gave brief history OF the park, telling
the audience that from the best information
that can be CLEANED the park was first visited
by the Lewis and Clark expedition sent out
by President Jefferson In 1904 Golfer OF the
same expedition returned later and spent a
year in the park, being compelled to make
his escape from the Indians by the strength
Of his limbs. which enabled him to outstrlp
them in the race Jim Briiger visited the
park in 1924 and gave. perhaps. as much In
formation concerning 1t as had been learned
by all the others, although Mr.. Clark made
a map OF his discoveries, and therefore rem
dered them more lasting. party. con-
William Peterson. went through the park
in 1869. SO extended were their discoveries
and the description so excellent that when
Mr. Folsom sent story of their findings to
Harper's Weekly it was returned TO him
with the notation that the story was perfect
but the paper was not printing romances OF
that character.
A semi -official party, because 1t was ac-
companied by an escort OF soldiers, went to
the park in 1870. Judge Hedges was mem
ber Of it and this party named nearly all
the geysers. In 1871 the Washburn party
visited the park and made extended discov
cries. Originally the park was 65x55
miles In size Several additions to it have
been made I'm recent years. 1t Is situated
on the highest plateau in the United States
and is guarded by two companies of soldiers.
Last year 2.1O0 people visited it through the
hotels, $50 by licensed routes and 37O0 en-
tered with their own vehicles.
Mr.. Wyle illustrated his lecture with
views, which gave a better idea OF the beau
ties of the sights to be seen by the traveller
than could be obtained without seeing them.
His first view was a bird's-eye map, show
ing the routes usually taken by tourists.
He pictured Fort Yellowstone. where the
troops are stationed. Then he gave views
terraces, Cupids cave, the Morning Glory,
Sapphire basin, Old Faithful Giant, Excel
sior and Bee Hive geysers In action, the
natural bridge. where he said even a woman
can catch fish, pictures of buffaloes, the
Teeton mountains and winding, beautiful
roads, over which one longed to ride.
The views are said to be counterparts of
the scenery in the great park and several
in the audience recognized scene after scene
which they had visited and commented upon
the faithfulness Of the representation.

Glass bottles. lamp chimneys, etc. are
constantly being thrown onto the sidewalks
and into the streets In violation OF a city
ordinance passed September %, 1896. The
ordinance is short and specific and for the
benefit OF the public is given
Section /. 1t is hereby declared to be un-
lawful for any person TO throw glass bot
ties, glassware OF any kind, pieces OF glass,
and every kind Of rubbish, in any street OIL
alley within the corporate limits OF the
city.
Section 2 provides the penalty, the act
being considered a miSdemeanor. Upon
conviction a fine not exceeding S25 may be
imposed along with the costs of prosecu-
ton. In default OF payment of such fine
the offender may be committed to the city
prison until said costs and fine shall be
paid.
Glass is to be seen in quantities on num-
Der OF sidewalks near the business part OF
the city and on some OF the principal bus
mess streets. Shortly after the passage OF
the ordinance one or two attempts were
made to prevent storekeepers from pushing
their sweepings and other rubbish into the
streets, but the police soon lost track of
the ordinance and now officers on beats tread
over broken glass on the sidewalks just the
same as the street Commiss ioner steps across
broken planks in the walks, neither saying
word.

The semi-a examination of the pupils
of the public schools is now in progress.
AS a general thing only one hour day is
given up to this examinati ton. although in
some of the classes this time is heightened
slightly. According to Superintendent
Wolfes plan, promotions will be made from
this time on rates half on the daily record of
the pupil and half on the standing at these
examinations. Mr. Wolfe does not consider
that the plan of promoting on daily record
alone is success in this city and he has
therefore insisted upon an examination.
The doctor thinks that better results can be
obtained by this plan than under the old

YANKEE YACHT FIRST
Opening Contest With Canada
an Easy Victory.
HONTREALERs WERE AsTON1sHED

In the First Race for the seawanhaka
Cup. the American Vessel Proved She
Was . Better Boat In Q Light Wind and
In Maneuvering.
DoRvAL, Que, July e9.-The first
race for the Seawanhaka cup yesterday
resulted in victory for the American
challenger Constance over the Canadian
defender Glencairn III by two minutes
and 10 seconds. The result was sur
prise to the large crowd Of Montrealers
who were present at the course to see
the race.
The Constance crossed the line first,
followed by Glencairn just second be-
hind. The first leg was to windward.
and here the Constance showed up well.
There was a slightly perceptible gain
to tack, then the Glencairn proceeded
to tack practically. for buoy somewhat
out of the course and the Constance
made such Roadway. that she rounded
the first buoy minutes and 48 seconds
before the Canadian. The Glencairn
gained on every subsequent leg, with
the exception of one, when she lost five
seconds.
A noticeable feature Of the race was
that in going around the buoys the
Canadian got her spinnaker out immedi-
ately, while the Columbia was much
slower, covering 10 or 20 yards before
doing it. This was straight gain Of
at least 8 seconds for the Canadian
yacht in this single instance. The
Glencairn ran much faster before the
wind, her large spinnaker giving her
this advantage, but the American boat
pointed much the best.
The race showed that the Amer
lean boat has the advantage in the
lighter wind, and in beating to wind
ward she can show the Glencairn the
way, but before the wind she is at some
disadvantage because Of sail area.

We're made to pay these duties twice, be-
