times when the emperor can speak
to the point, simpleton though he is
supposed to be. On reaching the pal
ace at Pao Ting-fu, which had been
lavishly fitted up absolutely regard

Yuan Shi Kai to his apartments and

Youna Athletes to Go Abroad.

New York, Aug. 1.-The plan which
las been in contemplation for several
years looking to an international con-
,est beteween schoolboy athletes of
America and England seems at last
likely of realization. R. S. Patterson,
who has been chiefly instrumental in
promoting the pan sailed for England
today and will endeavor to bring about
meeting next spring. Inasmuch as
it will be out of the question for the
English schOolboys to come to this
country, is has been practically de-
cided to take a team to England from
this side. The team will probably be
picked from among the boys making
the best showing in the ureater New
York meets, though it may be decid-
ed to give representation to other
parts Of the country.
