Finest View in the World.

The greatest extent of the earth's
surface which can be seen from one
spot depends on two circumstances:
First, the elevation above the sea
level, and secondly, the absence of
intervening obstacles such as may OBJ

The point that best satisfies these
conditions is the Nevada of Cayambe,

English universities contemplate q
return visit to America next year.
The members Of both teams were in
excellent health and spirits, and made
the dinner the liveliest ever given in
London. They joined in all the
popular airs which the band played,
and when American national tunes
were played, all stood in their chairs
singing and cheering
The Americans came in for great
applause from both the Englishmen
and Americans present. Fox, Rice and
Palmer being especially honored,
while Davidson, as the victor in an
event which all Englishmen feared
would go to America, was greatly ac-
claimed as the saviour of the day.
Then came brief speeches from the
captains OF the teams, Vassal saying
he hoped to go to America and give
them revenge, and, despite the assur-
ance which his nelghbor, Roche, had
given him all during the dinner that

the money didn't tempt the holders.
The crowd which assembled was a
notable one. Two hours before the
first event was called the spectators
began to arrive, and by four o'clock
every seat on the field was taken and
spectators were lined up four deep
around the entire track. In all eight
thousand persons were present.
To an American the appearance of
the field was revelation. Brilliantly
decorated stands, with colored awnings
and inpumerable flags gave the event
quite carnival-like appearance, such

their living by seizing the small

the great advantage OF forcing larger

men among them to revive in those
islands an ancient sport which would
be a decided novelty-fshing with

well worth reviving.

of '9S were 81, SO4,7 79.
From July to Sept. /, gross earnings
were $SO71, OBS, as against $6,902,05S for the
same three months of 1898. Net earnings
for this period are 1880, 3S7 as against

the previous year. The net increase from
July to Sept. is $536, 361.
The figures on October net earnings are
not yet complete. The month recorded
heavy increase both in freight and pas
senger revenue, and the totals will also
show substantial increases. Officials Of
the financial department state that the
