FAIR ATTRACTIONS.
The Secretary Has Returned from the
East and He was Successful.

The Secretary Has Returned from the
East and He was Successful.
Business in the office of the terri
torial fair association is picking up.
Secretary p. F. McCanna, who has
been in the east the past six weeks se-
curing attractions and signing profes-
sional base ball players for the fair
games, returned home Saturday night.
He reports a very successful trip, hav-
ing secured everything he went after,
and some things he didn't go after.
The base ball situation Is fiattering.
This years tournament will surpass
that o. last year. Topsy Hartzell, the
handy left fielder, who made such a hit
with albuquerque people last year, Is
coming. Danny Green, who played
center field here last fall, win be here.
But Mr.. McCanna's greatest prize is
the great Rube Waddell. Rube has
promised to come. He is the warmest
pitcher that ever busted the pigskin
Rube has the reputation Of being the
only pitcher that ever played game
without an infield. Rough Rider Kuy'
kendall and his famous broncho bus
ters are going to be here.
While in Denver, Mr.. McCanna met
and had pleasant chat with General
Funston. The general has promised to
come and bring his staff..

NAVAL CADETS.
Large Class of Middies to be Grad
uated at Annapolis.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Ever since
the Spanish war there has been a
dearth of young officers in the navy,
owing to the many new warships that
have been commissioned. During the
past two years it has been found nee
essary to graduate the classes from
the naval academy ahead of the usual
time. 1t is hoped. however, that this
will be unnecessary in the future, as it
is also undesirable.
Today 300 principals and alternates
appear before the examining boards of
the civil service commission for mid
shipman entrances at the academy to
fill the vacancies created by the last
annual appropriation bill allowing SEN
ators the privilege of appointment.
This is the largest class examined in
the history OF the school, and If the
usual percentage OF candidates pass
this will give Annapolis more midship-
men under instruction than ever be-
fore. Temporary quarters are now be-
ing erected at the academy for the ac-
commodation of the increased number
Of cadets.

ABo PASS FAVORED.

James Dun. chief engineer of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe system,
and his stenographer. C. o. Trimble,
arrived in the city last night, coming
direct from Chicago. F. NJ. Jones,
chief engineer of the corps doing wark
on the Santa Fe short cut, came in
from Belen to meet them.
Mr.. Dun's mission to New Mexico is
to inspect the proposed new road, and
accompanied by Mr.. Jones and Mr..
frimble, will leave tonight for Belen,
where they viii embark in wagons for
trip along the route to be traversed.
''The Santa Fe short cut will be
built" said Mr.. Dun to a Citizen re-
porter, who called on the gentleman at
his rooms at the Alvarado this morn.
ing. Several surveys have ben made
but as | have never 4been over the
country, which one will be taken
can't Just yet say. One thing almost
certain is that the road will be built
over Abo pass, which is reported to be
the best pass on the ManZano noun
tains. The grades made by the lines
that have been run are not entirely
satisfactory. We will go from Belen
to Portales, the eastern termination OF
the short cut, by wagon. 1t will take
about ten days to make the trip as we
want to make few stops en- route"
Mr.. Dun tells an interesting story
how he and Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Trim
BILE were held up about year age
while making an inspection Of a new
road, which was to be built in Okla
homa. The robbers appeared at Chan
dler, Oklahoma, depot about dusk and
proceeded to strip the gentlemen oI
their valuables, money, watches ant
even their shoes were taken. A short
time ago Mr.. Jones, who lost watcf
and a pair of shoes, received a note
accompanied by a toy watch, stating
they could not dispose Of the tixt
piece, and the note also stated that 4
he wanted his shoes they would return
| them too, as they did not fit.

BASE BALL.
The Lamar, coIo., Reds Captured All
Games Played.

SdfncS Tidtcds
The last two games of the series
played between the Browns and the
Lamar Reds, went to the Reds and
were similar to the game played Fri
day.
On Saturday the score was II TO u.
with no incident worthy of note, only
the non-support of the public.
Sundays game was some better. A
little larger crowd was out and every
body tried to play ball. Sonier. who
was advertised to pitch, was sick and
Shepard, who pitched Fridays game,
was substituted. The Reds hit him
quite often and in the right place. The
winning score was made in the third
inning. Two men were out, runner
on first base. A grounder slipped
through Barrett's hands, at short, and
the Reds scored five runs before the
third out was made. Worries made a
couple of costly errors. Quier led in
stick work for the Browns. In FIVE
times up he made four base hits and
three runs. The score was 12 to 9.
The Lamar boys left last night for
La Junta. Colo, where they are billed
to play.
The Browns have no game in sight.

RAGING FOR THIS CITY.
Rock Island and Santa Fe Pushing
Toward This City.
SOME INTERESTING FACTS.

The reports which were afloat a
short time age in regard to possible
merger between the Santa Fe and
Rock Island do not seem to find very
much confirmation in the manner in
which they are bucking each other on
new construction work, says the To-
peka Capital. 1t is now said that the
Rock Island and Santa Fe railways are
hustling to see which can get to Albu-
Querque, n. NJ, first. 1t is rivalry OF
both lines for the construction work.
The Rock Island is grading west from
Tucumcari to Albuquerque and the
Santa Fe is putting in a cut of to
TeXico, a point about midway between
Hereford and Portales on the Pecos
Valley to Albuquerque. The Santa Fe
will be about fifty miles the shortest
route, and the Rock Island will have
by far the heaviest grade and much
the toughest country to pass through.
The people down on the Panhandle
division of the Santa Fe are watching
the moves on the new line with a great
deal of interest. The Santa Fe cut OF
means a great deal to them. AS they
see it it means that the Panhandle
road will be made the main California
through line; all the fast freight, pas
senger and mail will be over this line,
The building of this line means more
than that; it means that the road will
put cattle into Kansas City in twelve
hours from Texas points.
