for the tableaux and dances, and
promises that they will be very elab-
crate. The months will be illustrat-
ed by 130 young people in elaborate
and appropriate costumes Each

ber, the wheat and golden rod; Octo-

Some of the special dances are:
Spring, the Showers, Roses and But
terflies, Daisies and Bees. Bacchana-
liam Dances, ST. Valentines, Bird
Quadrille. A pretty dance will be
that of the Cupids. A number of lit
tie girls, four and five years of age
will be attired in pink tights, and
tiny skirts OF the same color. Each
will be armed with a miniature bow
and arrow and will execute a dance
especially arranged for this occasion.

will be devised to resemble snow and
ice and the dance will be executed in

by little girls attired in costumes lit
orally covered with this fragrant flow-
er.
A DifHcuit task.
Those wno witness this splendid en-
semble of color and childish beauty
will little realize the work required TO
evolve the exhibition n it's complete
ness. Mr. rockingham has been at
work on The plans for several weeks.
The costumes had TO be designed,
and the materials to enter into their
makeup decided on. Then the orders
for the articles had 10 be placed. and
now that ;he result of this work is be-
coming apparent in the numerous
boxes and parcels that are arriving

State at Saratoga was ii HR re-

Guire not only called a meeting OF

county committees. AS soon as the
chairman arrived. he called on Mr..
The true northerner., 1900-08-31

Croker. who at once requested an ex-
planation of this latter action. The
chairman had no explanation to make,
but 1t is generally believed that his
course was inspired by Senator Hill
who is clearly behind the movement
to nominate Comptroller Coler for
Governor. The Tammany men are for
Senator Mackey. and now comes in
the fine work of the peacemaker, who
for fifteen years has acted as such be-
tween Hill and Tammany.
Senator Murphy's Work.
Former Senator Edward Murphy,
has kept these elements of the party
from engaging in open warfare a
number of times before. He is a
great admirer of Senator Hill and is
afraid of the power which Croker
wields. He naturally prefers peace to
strife, and his influence has accom-
plished more 20 keep the factions from
open revolt than has that Of any 9TH
er or all other men in the party. Sem
ator Hill's friends are not in a mood
TO compromise anything at this time.
They regard the fight as one which he
must make 10 preserve his prestige in
the party, or at once surrender the
leadership. They are opposed TO any
compromise whatever, but 1t is belley-
ed that the Tammany men are not.
stanchfieId the Man.
II Senator Murphy can have his
way, John Stanchfield of Elmira, VIII
be the nominee. So confident is Mr..
Murphy that he will succeed, that his
friends have already announced that
the man from Elmira will be nomi-
mated. The Hill leaders are equally
confident Coler will be named, but
careful count of the probable dele
gates does not show a majority for
him. These men assert that If Hill Is
to be opposed by Tammany, that he
will organize an anti-Tammany So
ciety in New York, and carry the
fight into the campaign for the mayor
atty next year.
Republican Plans.
Although there is no gathering of
Republican leaders officially at Sara
toga, many of them are there, and
they are still about as unsettled re-
specting the candidate as are the
Democrats. 1t is, however, admitted
that Senator Platt is in complete con-
troll and that the candidate will vir-
tually be named by him. Until a few
days ago 1t was apparently any ones
race. The editorial In the Albany
Journal advocating the nomination Of
Lieut-Gov. Woodruff, is regarded as
expressing the views Of the Republi-
can leaders, and il may safely be said
that his chances are to-day better than
those of any other man In the State.
Unless some radical change is made, it
seems almost certain that he will be
named.
Combinirg business with Pleasure.
People who have this penchant have
every opportunity TO crafty it at Sar-
atoga. During the season most of the
prominent men of the country are at
Saratoga one time or another. They
are coming and going every day. Peo-
pie who see prominent business men
sitting on the verandas with apparent

of the passing throng have
little idea OF the amount of business
that is transacted from the hotels at
