WARM SPRINGS, VA, July 26.-Sel-
dom, if ever before, have the summer
season of festivities at this old resort
reached the informal and almost up
roarous stage that they have attained
thus far this season. The driving par
ties are innumerable, and this week has
been well fitted in temperature for such
occasions Less it has been good many
years since it has been as cool here as
it has been during the past week Inc
days were pleasant. but at nlsht IL was
really chilly, the mercury registering 90
to 65 degrees, and never crossed Is in the
middle of the dav. It Is very dry and
dusty, however, and it is little rough
for driving and riding, but it does not
check the sport
FUN A PLENTY.
The shuttle board tennis courts, golf
links and card tables never lack LOT use
tea parties and in fact, every enjoyment
that can be fostered by the visitors are
carried on. The amusement never reaches
a standstill; there is always something
new on foot, and every day the bulietlh
board can scarcely hold its DAD of an
IiotttiSeiiitIIlS.
The week begun with a. handicap golf
tournament; twelve holes being played by
twenty-five men and sixteen ladies. The
old prize winners were made to pay
penalty of three strokes to begin with;
therefore they didn't win a second time

The next most interesting entertain
ment was the speech of Senator John T.
Morgan of Alabama, who thoroughly
explained the Panama Canal ques-
ton in the ballroom Tuesday eve
ming. He compared the Panama
and Nicaragua routes and illustrated
we'll the merits of the Nicaragu route
over the Panama.
He explained how and why the Pana-
ma route would be detrimental to the
traffic for which it is to be constructed.
The Senator was greatly applauded In
his remarks and especially when he paid
a glowing tribute to the seventy-fve
ladies present az "the geographers of
the Heavens" and that "even in his
mature age they brought joy to his
heart" His geography explanation of
the situation OF the canal by the dis
tances and situations. illustrated by
"lady-fgure' was amusing and was
much cheered
THE GERMANS.
OF course the germans are regular now.
At this place they are we'll inaugurated
and under the most suspicious circum-
stances. They are enjoyed every few
