PRINcBssEs AND ATHLETICS.

Queen Alexandra has always been an advocate of games and athletics for girls if kept within reason. She her. self was very fond of all outdoor games as a child. Tn running she was swift of foot as Atalanta, and skating came as natural to her as walking. Never" wrote an enthusiastic admir- CT of her, the mother of the then rec. tor of Sandringham, did our dear prin- cess look more graceful and fairly-like than when skimming over the ice on her skates. She seemed to express the poetry of notion" Although fond of riding, the queen, owing to the neces- sity of sitting on the wrong side of the saddle, has not been a great horsewo- man. Driving was at one time a very favorite amusement of hers, and peo- pie living around Sandringham used to watch for the pretty pair of grays she fooled along so deftly On one of her birthdays a little carriage with four ponies was given her by the en- peror of Russia, and she drove these either four abreast or in the usuas four-in-hand style.
 Her majesty encouraged her daugh ters to try every form of outdoor and indoor exercise, and arranged that they should receive lessons in boating. riding swimming and billiards. They are all fond of cycling, especially the Princess Victoria. who made several bicycle excursions with her intimate friends. The Duchess of Fife's fa- vorite sport is salmon fishing. and few ladies can throw a fly as skill fully and play q salmon as scientific ally as she can. Princess Charles of Denmark is good tennis player, and has lately taken up the fancy for cro- quet, q game in which the queen ex- cells. The king and queen showed their interest in swimming by their visit to the bath club the other day to witness the matches. and they both expressed the opinion that every boy and girl in the kingdom should learr 10 swim. and that every facility should be given to the poorer ones 10 do so.-- London Modern Society.

IA TROPICAL STORM
New Jersey Coast Struck by
 Terrifying Hurricane.
ATLANTIC CITY WIRES WERE CUT OFF
Netels, PaviIiOns and Summer Resi. dences Suffered Severely Deyvn by the Sea-State Camp Re-
 cefved Wind,s Full Fury

ceived wind,s Fu1I Fury. z ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept IT, The tropical storm which struck the New Jersey coast was one of the se- verest experienced for long time. The wind blew with hurricane force and while it lasted kept up speed of sev- enty miles an hour. The storm was terrifying to a degree, but the damage was not as great as at first was be- Heved- A conservative guess places the entire damage at $25, 900 or $30,. GOO. The telegraph and telephone lines leading out of the city are down, and the fact that the city was cut off from connection with the outside world started wild rumors that the great re- sort had been entirely swept away.
 Great damage was done along the board walk, where the one story pa vilions suffered to considerable ex- tent The storms fiercest attack was made on the McCiay apartment build ing at Pacific and South Carolina ave nues. The roof was more than half torn off, entailing loss of $2,500.
 The other largest damage was done at the Hotel Strand, situated on Penn sylvania avenue, close to the beach. This hotels handsome brick and frame porch was completely ripped out and demolished by the wind. Outside of these places the damage otherwise con sisted of broken plate glass windows, tin roofs curled up, awnings blown down and trees uprooted, while in the inlet district, at the upper end of the city, number of boats were torn from their moorings and several boathouses were blown over.
 The state camp at Sea Girt was ex- posed to the full fury of the storm. Tents and flooring were lifted bodily and carried over hundred feet.
 Big bulk windows gave way under pressure of the storm, and pieces of the glass flew in all directions. At this point Dr. Richard Pancoast, aged sew enty years, of Philadelphia, was blown down by the wind on the board walk and suffered fracture of the hip. He was hurried to the City hospital.
 Among the hotels whose roofs were damaged in the storm was the Marl- borough, Metropolitan, Kuenhler, Ken ilworth and Richmond. None was very seriously damaged.
 Railroad trains left on schedule time, and large number of timid visitors hurriedty left town. The ? o'clock ex- press was the longest train out of this city this season

A Handicap Wanted By Cnaki From
 Kelly.

{ A Handicap Wanted By Cnaki From
 Kelly.
 John E. Kelly has started in to get ready for the campaign of wrestling which he will be put through this fall and winter. He will train in private and will give no more public exhlDl- tions as was his custom in other matches. He will give special feats in wrestling, however, in one of the local clubs when he gets himself into the proper condition. If it is possible his first match will be with Cnakt Of Bridgeport, but this will not take place until the middle of October. In ref ence to Cnaki, his manager, Dick Howell, sporting editor of the Bridge port Sunday Herald, has written to Waterbury relative to the conditions. As Kelly is an older and much more tried wrestler he believes that Cnak1 should be given handicap. It was supposed that the Bridgeport wrestler wanted a. match on even terms as some of the Bridgeport papers intimated. It will be decided in a day or two whether Kelly will concede any handi- cap to the Bridgeport wrestler. The latter has thrown Kelly although the claim Is made that Kelly did not try to win. Perhaps that is so but Cnaki may not have been tested to the limit either, and he also may nave been holding back. A match on even terms would suit everybody the best.
 At the time Kelly issued the sweep ing challenge to all the wrestlers around the state and out of it he did not include Cnakis because he consid- cred him pretty good man and he did not care to run up against snag by handicapping the Bridgeporter. Some of the Bridgeport papers at that time referred to the matter and insinuated that Kelly had had enough of Cnaki. Manager Howell's paper did not do SO, however, and little attention was paid at the time to others. Kelly does not want to injure his chances right in the start off by handicapping man whom he considers is a good one and per haps he will refuse or his manager will refuse to let him go against Cnaki on a handicap.

The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-06-25

Watering troughs are badly needed
along the roads Of Hood River. Here,
where we have irrigating bitches, and
plenty Of mountain streams and springs,
there should be watering trough at
each turn in the road. II no one else
will put in watering troughs the county
commissioners might be persuaded to do
so. The town of Hood River might also
afford to put up watering troughs for
the benefit of farmers, teams that some
times stand for hours in the streets. The
watering trough put in by Joe Wilson
at the spring branch at Paradise farm
did good service for years, but with no
one to keep it in repair it has gone into
inocuous desuetude.
