the concert could be enjoyed in a COM
Portable manner.
There were people I'm carriages OF every
description and bicyclists by the thou
sands. and. I'm word. II was really "a
great night at the park. and one that Will
rarely be duplicated.

"lopEs TOO BLooMIN TGH."

Most Englishmen are considered pret-
ty fair horsemen. but when IL comes To

owner of large cattle ranch I'm Wyom-

ly came out 10 my part OF the country in
quest OF some good investment. lie was
at my ranch as guest for few days,
and one afternoon, as the cowboys were
about TO round up a bunch Of COW ponies,
the young man said mat he would enjoy
u good ride I'm the saddle. He said he was
used TO riding only thoroughbreds, and
he didn't think we had horse good
enough for him. The boys convinced him
that they had one OF the finest horses on
the plains, and II he knew how TO ride he
was welcome TO the animal. He was APP
parently insulted when questioned about
his ability to ride. and answered that he
could ride any kind OF a horse. A sleepy
looking broncho was accordingly brought
out from the corral and saddied. Though
the beast appeared half dead, he was the
worst bucker I'm the herd.

ful indeed. but l had no idea when /

SUNDAY DOWN THE BAY.

Rocky Point. the picturesque people s
resort on Narragansett Bay was just
crowded with people from all sections of
the state and neighboring towns In Mas
sachusetts yesterday. The people came
from every direction and by every con-
ceivable means of transportation.
The ball game between the Providence
and Hartford teams, a report OF which
will be found i'm the sporting columns,
drew an immense audience, and the at
tendance at the Forest Casino surpassed
anything ever seen before.
The vaudeville performance Is a big one
and there Is not dull number in the long
bill One of the best things Is the sing
Ing of Miss Florence Walcott, vocalist
of far more than average merit.
Judging from the comments Of the
many people coming out OF the dining
halls the shore dinner was one OF the
most enjoyable features among the many
of the halls was tested.
The National Band gave a series OF
popular concerts. and the soioists were
warmly applauded. All the other attrac-
tions on the grounds were literally pat
ronized. and the chutes just did a tre-
mendous business all day long.
IL was a big day at Rocky Point, and
vet i'm spite OF the immense crowd, ev-
erybody was cared for. and there was
not single incident to mar the pleas
Col Atwell once more made a decided
hit as a caterer that cannot be beaten
and nearly 2000 persons were fed at Field 4
Point yesterday. The shore dinner was
served continuously from the arrival OF
the IL 30 a. m. boat until o. clock, besides
the o'clock bake. which is a, special
feature at this place.
Col. Atwell's dinners appear To grow
better and better the season advances
and IL is certain that his patronage Is
constantly increasing.
Both the Awashonks and Queen Cit,

The CHRISTIAN.
Rev. S. N. Dick breaches on
the Kind Of Man He Should
Be In These Times.

Rev. s. M. Dick, pastor of the Mathew
son Street NJ. f. church. preached last
evening on THE Christian for the Times, -
in which he designated the necessary
qualifications as intellectual and spirit
ual equipments, alertness in the mainten-
ance of right principles and answering
I duty to man and God.
Mr.. Dick took his text from Esther w.,
IL, and described the conditions then ex-
listing. in which the Jews were con-
demned to be executed by a decree of
the king The pastor compared the condi-
tions with those OF China, in which all
foreigners are In imminent danger of
death.
Rev. Mr. Dick said I'm substance: 1--WE
should remember that Cromwell. Lincoln
Iand others were not great because of
what they did. but because OF what they
were. A man being the architect of his
own destiny Is great for what he does in
making himself what he is. The great
ness is that of character of manhood.
'Lincoln's signing OF the emancipa-
ton proclamation did not make him
great; his greatness lay I'm the conquest
of himself, In making 1t possible for him
to do what he did. lie seized the oppor-
tunity opened up before him. IL is true
that many become better known for
what they do, put not greater.
"The age of greatness has not passed.
Men are just as great. though unknown.
The Christian for the times Is the one
who Is prepared for any emergency and
who is able to take hold and become
master OF the situation. He mSst mas
ter himself: must study his neighbors
and their needs, and must under all cir
cumstances maintain principles of right
eousness and jnstcc.
God has men equal To every emergen-
cy. III this nation Is plunged into a war
with China, no doubt leaders will arise.
but God grant that no opportunity will
be afforded for great men to become
known through such a horrible agency as
war"

THE WINNING LETTER.
Editor OF Providence News:--I should
say that the question. '1s IL proper for
young lady to go on an outing with
young man without n chap
eron," needs a very careful answer.
so much depends on the character OF both
young lady and young man, the place and
time and moral surroundings OF the out
ing. If the two young people are such
as to be trusted alone in the house why
not out OF doors?If IL is proper for them
TO be engaged they might certainly be
trusted out OF sight. generally speaking.
II they come home In good hours none
need be anxious about them. To engaged
parties a chaperon might be de trop in

OF community. In England and Euro
pean society the cnaperonage is carried so
far that ] think IL rather tends to pro-
duce trickery among the young people.
