CAPT. ENGLlSH'S DINNER.
How Gen. Wheeler Overlooked Men
ton of Him in His Report.

Captain William E. English retired from
military service yesterday. In celebration
of the event dinner was given at his apart
ments in the Hotel English. Masonic friends,
who had presented him with a sword on his
return from Cuba. and officers in Indianap-
oils, were invited. Short speeches were
made at the conclusion of the dinner con-
graduating Captain English upon the sat
isfactory conclusion of his career by Captain
May, of the Fifteenth United States In
fantry; Lieutenant Beckhurst, of the Sixth
United States Infantry; Captain Black,
United States recruiting officer; Col. c..
Jaquith, DR.. f. W. Hays, John j. Curtis,
Jay G. Voss, C. c. Gilmore and others.
Captain English responded.
AT the beginning of the war Captain
English was appointed aid on the staff of
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, Governor Mount,
Senator Turpie and Senator Fairbanks ask
ing the President to make the appointment.
AS he was the only Indiana volunteer thar
was in front of Santiago, Captuln English
takes much satisfaction in letters and tele-
grams Of commentator chat were read at
the dinner by Mr. Curtis and that were
received from Governor Noun, Senators
Fairbanks and Turpie, and the following let
ter from Gen. JOSEPH Wheeler, now in
Washington:
Dear Captain English-I am very glad to
hear that friends of your city are to tender
you a manifestation of their esteem and re-
spect. I was very glad indeed to have you
on my staff in Cuba, and 1t was with regret
that your being disabled in front of Santiago
on July /, and your subsequent illness, de-
prived me of the continuance of your serv-
ice with me. 1t is with regret that in my
very hurried report, which 1 made in COM
pliance with repeated dispatches from head
quarters, 1 failed to mention all the men,
bers of my staff who should have been men,
toned in the report. Wishing you many
years of happiness. and trusting that your
State and country may have the continued
benefit Of your service, believe me, truly
your friend"

STATE FA1R GROUNDS.
Board May Buy 100 Acres Now Under
Lease.

Lease.
The principal business consideration which
will come before the annual meeting of the
State Board of Agriculture next week will
be as to what disposition it is desirable to
make of the agreement under which 100
acres of the total of $40 acres occupied by
the fair grounds are held. AT the time the
fair grounds were located at the present site,
in 1892, the association bought eighty acres
of land, which includes all the front portion
of the grounds and on which all the build
ings are built, with the exception of the
three speed barns at the back of the race
track. The boundary of the Fair Associa-
tons land is line extending east and west
track, the remainder of the track being OH
the leased ground. This land was leased for
seven years, with the privilege of renewing
at the old figures, or, at the option of the
state board, of purchase at the rate of $500
an acre. Since the land has been leased
the property has increased in value until
now it could readily be sold for $500 an acre
1t has been suggested that the proper thing
for the state board to 90 would be to buy
the land outright, but IN event this is shown
to be impracticable 1t is a certainty that the
lease will be renewed, although, If there Is
any prospect of the board raising the money
be a purchase, instead Of a lease which
the board will act on. To purchase the tract
now held under lease will require S42 600, and
as the board has not made any money Of late
years it is realized that help must come
from outside sources, If at all.

A NEW BLUE BOOK"
Social and Club Record of "Greater

The social life of city involves so much
correspondence and use Of the mails on the
part of all who participate in it that the
need of a record of names and addresses of
friends and acquaintance is felt daily in
almost every household. For several rea-
sons a regular city directory fails to answer
the purpose, one OF these being the fact
that it contains only the names of heads OF
families. whereas it is the names Of other
members that arc even more frequently
wanted for social purposes. In indianapolis,

IS need. too. of club record. comparatively
