Among the graduates from Yale this
year was Miss Selichi Yamaguchi, of
Toxic, Japan, who won the degree of
bachelor of arts. The dark little
woman received her diploma bare
headed and in her native costume, her
black hair lying smooth and shiny,
fastened by colossal stickpin, while
her shawl and broad sash, flung
gracefully about her plump little fig
ure, made her look like some small
'Yum Yum" just out of school.

The Formal Exercises Take Place II
His Home at Oyster Bay.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 10. = Gov.
Roosevelt was officially notified of his
nomination for the vice presidency at
his country home, Sycamore, near Oys-
ter Bay.
Senator Wolcott's address was fire.
quently applauded, his reference to
Gov. Roosevelt's hunting stories evok-
ing hearty laugh.
RoOsevelt's Response.
When Senator Wolcott concluded
Gov. Roosevelt stepped pace forward
and said:
"Mr. Chairman: I accept the honor con-
ferred upon me with the keenest and
deepest appreciation of what it means,
and above all of the responsibility that
goes with it. Everything that it is in my
power to do will be done to secure the
reelection of President Mckinley, to
whom it has been given in this crisis
of the national history to stand for and
embody the principles which lie closest
to the heart of every American worthy
of the name.
This is very much more than a mere
party contest. We stand at the parting
decide whether they shall go forward
along the path of prosperity and high
honor abroad or whether they will turn
their backs upon what has been done
during the last three years; whether
they will plunge this country into an
abyss of misery and disaster, or. what
is worse than even misery and disaster,
shame I feel that we have a right to
appeal not merely to republicans, but to
all good citizens, no matter what may
have been their party affiliations in the
past, and to ask them, on the strength of
the record that President Mckinley has
made during the last three years, and
on the strength of the threat implied in
what was done in Kansas City few days
ago, to stand shoulder to shoulder with
us perpetuating the conditions under
which we have reached a degree of pros
perity never before attained in the ma
tons history, and under which, abroad,
we have put the American flag on a
level where it never before in the his
tory of the country has been placed.
For these reasons I feel we have a
right to look forward with confident ex-
pectation to what the verdict of the peo-
pie will be next November and to ask
all men to whom the well-being of the
country and the honor of the national
name are dear to stand with us as we
fight for prosperity at home and the hon
or of the flag abroad"
Refreshments were then served on
the porches and in the dining-room,
and a half hour of general converse
ton followed.
At1:15 p. m. the party left and start
ed on the return drive to Oyster Bay,
where the special train awaited them.

the Cape May race cup, defeating large
number of yachts. In 1882 A. j. Fisher
of the Chicago Yacht club, purchased
the schooner and brought it to Chicago
where it became the best known of all
yachts on the lake, and for a time was
the only large private yacht in use.
