TRANSMITTING CONTRACT.
tract Ever Let For Trans
planting FulI-Crown Trees.

st. Louis. Feb. 13.-Seven hundred
shade trees will be transplanted on
the Worlds fair site by the Detroit
(Mich.) Shade Tree Co. The contract
for this attractive decorative effect
at the exposition was let Tuesday,
by Director of Works Taylor to Ed
gar d. Williamson, president of the
Detroit firm.
Each tree marked by the force OF
Landscape Architect Kessler will be
uprooted from its present location
on the site and removed by the con-
tractors 10 the spot designated afong
the avenues, now merely indicated by
the stakes Of the engineer corps.
Long before the skeleton frame OF
the Varied Industrial building is
raised, the rows of parked trees will
mark the exact size and sweep of the
main bouleyards of the fair.
Mr. Williamson said that his con-
cern was equipped to make the entire
transfer in 60 days. He started at
once for Detroit TO prepare the bond
which has been exacted for faithful
performance of the contract. APP
paratus and skilled horticulturists
will accompany him on his return to
st. Louis within the next few days.
He says that he will begin without
any delay as soon as the bond has
been executed.
President Francis of the EXPOSE
ton company signed the unique con-
tract and Mr.. Williamson affixed his
signature for his company. The tree
contract has attracted more atten-
ton throughout the country and
abroad than the contracts for the
great main exhibit structures of the
Worlds fair. 1t is the largest single
planting contract that has eve:
been undertaken in this country, and,
so far as known, in the world.
The required number of trees for
replanting have not been marked on
the site, and it is possible that the
total number will not be obtained
from among the sylvan sisterhood
which has been spared from the de-
stroying ak Of the engineer. The con-
tract with the Detroit company pro-
yides that wherever the supply of the
Worlds fair company is short, the
contractor shall provide trees. Where
a tree which has been marked for
transplanting does not seem to meet
the regulations, a new tree shall be
furnished by the contractor, at a GER
tain allowance to be made by the
Worlds fair company. The figures ut
which the contract was let do not
appear in the statement made in con-
nection with the giving out of the
work.

BIG VAUDEVILLE
ADJUSTMENTS Galore During the Tournament
Next Week.

The Raleigh people as we'll as the
large crowd of visitors that will attend
the tournament next week will be high
ly entertained during the three DAYS. A
regular city vaudeville program has been
arranged by combination of the Ice
Mission Band, the Firemens' Tournament
Committee and the Raleigh Baseball
club. These three organizations have
united to give a program at the Academy
of Music that will be a novelty of the
very highest class vaudeville perform
ance that it is possible to present. The
best talent in Raleigh has been secured.
program will consist of eight high
acts. some of them never before
n in cities under two hundred thous-
1 population. The program will con-
s.jt of male quartette, trio one act
comedians. One of them is heavily royal
tied, but through the kindness of the
owner the royalty has been lifted for
this occasion; fancy dances, descriptive
songs, black face one act comedies. One
of these lonely acts has been presented
on the Keith circuit and has seventy
eight actual laughs in it, The program
will be good one and the price of ad-
mission has been put at twenty-five
cents to all parts of the house AT least
forty people will be in the cast.
full band of twenty pieces has been
engaged for the occasion.
The young ladies will also have in
progress on Tuesday. Wednesday and
Thursday nights a gigantic lawn party
with all kinds of amusements attached
and cream and cake at popular prices.
In view OF the fact that this city will
be crowded to it's capacity at this time, it
is thought best to limit the sale of the
tickets to the vaudeville, so only a GER
tain number will be sold. These are
worthy organizations and our people
will stand by them. We predict great
success for any event the Ice Mission
Band may undertake
Persons wishing to donate cakes to the
lawn party will please notify at once
Miss Catherine Boylan or Mrs. j. S. At
kinson.
Tickets for the vaudeville are on sale
at Kings Drug Store.

Manager Barley Kahn said it was all up.
Being asked as to his future movements,
Kahn said he would go to his home
in Richmond, and would play no more
this season. He has offers from New
ark, N. j., Fall River Mass, and Will
son, N. c., but he says he has had
enough for this season.
Rollins will go to Fall River.
Roy White has offers from Fall River
and Wilson, but is not decided as to
where he will go.
King Kelly also came in on the after
noon train. Several of the Greensboro
men will go to Shreveport, among them
Fox, Courneen, and McKernan.
There was meeting of the Raleigh
Association last night to discuss ways
and means of securing a series of games
for tournament week. The association
is considerably in debt, for while the
amount paid for Pastor, Soffel and Childs
helped things good deal. it did not
cover the whole indebtedness.

New Orleans, La, July 17.-Notwith-
standing Liverpool advices were en-
couragng our market opened unchanged
to one point lower, but advanced l to 9
points later on fresh buying. AS soon
as this demand was filled values became
easier and sold off slightly until near
the close when they became somewhat
steadier, showing practically no change
from yesterdays prices. The weather
is clear throughout the belt, and the rain
fall, which was very light during the past
twenty-four hours, was confined to the
Savannah, Charleston, New Orleans and
Oklahoma districts. There is however
a low pressure in the Southwest and a
high pressure on the South Atlantic
coast, which is indicative of unsettled
and threatening weather in the Southern
States. The strength of the near posi-
lions and the strong statistical condition
offset the favorable crop outlook and
acted as a deterrent to sellers of new
crop months, owing to the large dis
counts existing in these options For the
moment operators are apathetic and
awaiting developments before enterine
