/, the rights of American citizenship.
A week or two can be advantageously
spent at La Luz, Light of the Noun
| tains,'' at T%ularosa, each with theil
shady cottonwood lanes, their orchards
and gardens. The visitor is treading or
historic ground when he comes within
| sight of the mountains of New Mexico
and at La Luz and Tularosa he will find
a s%torehouse of legendary and histor-
| ical information, and the best story
| tellers in the west. North of Tularosa
| some twenty or more miles is the great
| United States National Sanitarium, al
Fort Stanton, and a little further on the
great mining camps, at Nogal, Bonito
] White Oaks and Salado. In the Ruidose
| and Bonita rivers can be caught the
| festive trout, who knows enough tc
| come in out of the wet, but who, after
| a few Chautauqua meetings, will know
better.
To reach this magnificent summer re-
sort, to enjoy the cool weather of early
| spring in the month of August, to drink
the pure waters of it's countless springs,
to absorb some of the wisdom let loose
IN an unsuspecting public, buy around
trip ticket to Ell Paso, Tex, and then
take the White Oaks route to Alamo
gordo, a small but most excellent no.
tel, with a town Of some 1900 people
built around it. On the way to said ho-
tel, the Alamogordo, the tourist and
visitor to the Chautauqua will pass up
the Lost River valley, bordered on the
mountains, and on the west by the
Franklin, Organ, San Andreas and Os-
cura mountains, all noted for their
wealth in gold, copper, silver and iron.
At Alamogordo take the A~lamogordo
and Sacramento Mountain railway to
the Chautauqua grounds. This is the
scenic line of America, for here you can
get up in the world more rapidly than
ver any other railway. for none on the
American continent has more turns,
twists, windings, curves and contor-
lions in it's right of way than this noun
tain railway, which rises 300 feet in
sixteen miles. The scenery en- route is
magnificent from initial point to termi-
nus at Toboggan station. The Chau-
tauqua grounds are one and one-quar-
ter miles distant, and are reached by
carriage or coach, the grounds being
1,50O feet higher than the railway sta
ton.
1t is a trip to be remembered for a
lifetime, is inexpensive compared with
other summer resorts, and is worth any
mans time and money to make.

Correspondence of the New Mexican.
Alamogordo, N. M, May ia num-
Der of good people in western Texas
and southern New Mexico, interested
in educational matters, prominent
among whom is Prof. G. p, Putnam, of
FL Paso, Tex, have reached the conclu-
sion that a summer school, a Chautau-
qua, so to speak, is the proper thing to
have and participate in during the dog
days. 1t gives a good excuse for get
ting away from hot weather and that
tired feeling, and incidentally gives one
a chance to imbibe some scraps of in
formation not connected with the care
less scramble for bread and butter,
which composes the routine of the av-
erage citizens daily life.
Much wisdom is usually uncorked at
these Chautauqua meetings, and much
of it goes to waste, but on the whole
the partaker in the intellectual feast
has had a rest, a good time, and feels
several hundred per cent better than if
he had stayed at home, sweltered in the
hot cities and fought mosquitoes.

A Good Ball Game.

The ball game between the Santa Fe
Sluggers, and the College Browns, at
st. Michael's college, yesterday, was one
of the finest games played here this
season. The game was close and ex-
citing throughout and kept the specta-
tors guessing. The college led up to
the eighth inning, but in the ninth the
town boys tied the score, and by their
fast intield work blanked their oppo-
nents in the last half. At the end of the
ninth inning the score stood 8 to 8. In
the tenth inning, in the first half, with
a man On second, one of the town boys
made a hit to the short stop which he
fumbled but succeeded in getting to the
base just about a second after the run
ner. Umpire Thayer decided he was
safe, but the college boys refused to
continue the game. Umpires Sanchez
and Thayer decided the contest Q to 0 in
favor of the Sluggers.

on, on the very summit of the Sacra-
mento mountains, 5000 feet above sea
level. Here, in a primeval forest, where
the messy pine trees grow 6 feet thick
and over 100 feet high; and the ferns
nod their compliments to the wild roses
that grow in profusion; here on the
backbone of the continent, in sight of
the great Sierra Blanca, with it's peak
piercing the sky at an altitude of 14,S00
feet, is in course of erection the summer
pavilion for the entertainment of all
corners. 1t will have a length of 14O
feet and a width of 40 feet; will have a
first-class kitchen and dining room, re-
ception and reading rooms, and a mag
nificent auditorium. Five hundred peo-
pie can be provided with meals at a
time, and the costs will hardly exceed
that of staying at home. For sleeping
apartments, well equipped fioored tents,
furnished with stoves, spring cots and
lights, will be provided, and everything
necessary will be done for the comfort
of the visitors. Arrangements have
been made to secure some of the best
lecturers in the country, and for the
| teachers association an able corps of
| teachers will be secured for the school
| of methods, a specialist to be in charge
| of each department.
In this pavilion will be held the great
assemblies in years to come, and here
| will be discussed the questions of state,
of morals, of religion, of science, of re-
forming our n%eighbors, and of every
day life. Here the range of vision is
wide. To the west is visible the great
plain of the Lost River, and beyond the
cleaning White Sand Hills, sixty miles
away, are the Franklin, Organ, Oscura
and Burro mountains, lined up in view
for a distance of 200 miles. Eastward
through the glades in the forest may be
seen the stretches of forest and glade,
field and farm, fluctuations dropping
lower and lower, until the plains of the
Pecos, 5000 feet lower, are reached. In
his glorious region the summer heat
in midday does not exceed 80 degrees,
and at night 40 degrees.
And what say the denizens of the
mountain top among themselves of this
assemblage? Whispered the moss
grown pine to it's neighbor, the spruce:
This is a tame crowd, like the magpies
on yonder quaking asp; they waste
their time in argument, but I have seen
