THIRD CLASS AT WEST POINT.
Young Macarthur and U. s. Grant
III Rivals for HOnOrs.

WEST POINT N. Y, July 22.-An in
teresting feature Of the academic situation
here is the neck and neck race for the
front place in the third class. The race is
interesting not only in itself. but because
OF the identity of the two contestants. One
OF them is Douglass Macarthur, son of
General Macarthur who is in command in
the Philippines, and L. s Grant III, son
of Gen. Fred Dent Grant, who is also in
the Philippines.
The name Of Grant has never been as
ISOLATED at West Point with high scholar
ship or high academic standing, and for
this reason the splendid position in his
class which has been taken by Cadet L. S.
Grant III. has attracted unusual atten-
ton. The Academy book just issued shows
him to be second in his class, with young
Macarthur first. In purely soldierly stand
ing Grant, on the other hand, is ahead OF
Macarthur.
Grant has been made first corporal to
MacArthur's second. Young Grant is a
bronzed, strongly built, soidierly looking
fellow. while Macarthur is taller. thinner,
and Of a more scholarly type in general
appearance. although his record for SOL
dierly qualities is only a shade under that
OF Grant.
