AT COLORADO SPRINGS.
Colorado Springs and Denver broke even
in two miserably played games in which
heavy batting and poor fielding played an
important part. Newmeyer was batted out
of the box in the first game, but Pounds
stood by his guns in the first inning of
the second game when the locals made j
runs.

4 CLUB RENAISSANCE.

new era is about TO begin in the life of
the Democratic Club. the institution which
gained fame in the annals of the Democratic
party OF this city because of its having been
the home of Richard Croker. 1t was the place
where the men who occupied positions of trust
and confidence in Tammany Hall could see
the chief. make reports and receive or.iers with
out "being beholden" to any man. The place
became Tammany headquarters, and every
good Tammany man who wanted favor for
himself for a friend joined the club But
membership was not confined TO the gamblers,
prize fighters, political degenerates and unpun-
shed criminals who followed the leadership Of
Croker. The men who were members of the
hated rival "swell" Democratic club found it
club, and were glad to be seen in the gaudy
apartments fianked by men whose names had
figured conspicuously in the criminal records
Of the city That was the first era of the club.
Then came the downfall of Tammany and
the departure of Richard Croker The full
dress suits" were laid aside. Bowery poll
ticians thanked their stars that there would be
no more Fifth-ave. service, and behind their
bars and gambling tables declared that the
Democratic Club, now that the "od man" had
gone, might go to almost any place. This was

POSTER TAXATION.

4 sense of civic beauty is not commonly eA-
pected TO distinguish Tammany ponticlahs iioA
Tim" Sullivans district. Therefore we are
trifie suspicious of Senator Fltzgeraiu III as"o
bill TO license billposters and tax their sisi'
Not that we question Mr.. Fitzgerald honeo''
We only fear that some of the pohtlclahs pe
hind him have nut in his hands a bill Whlch
they thought offered promising opportunity
for a ..striken Whether that is the fact OF not
a good way to prevent any possible slrihe
succeeding and at the same time con1er pun
lie beneft, would be for the majority In Tie
legislature TO take the subject up and pass
moderate measure to tax posters.
A bill of this kind was introduced IN the AS
sembly last year under auspices Wnlch ra'seu
it above all suspicion. A hearing was gwen Ut
which representatives of the billposters udoe
their objections to the measure as it stood, and
showed the friends of the measure wherein 1t
should he modified in order to avoid depressing
certain branches of the business. From the dls-
cussion those interested in civic art and the
preservation of scenery from DETACHMENT gained
a knowledge of what tax the business would
hear without unduly restricting its income, and
if the session had been longer measure might
have been perfected which would have beer
lust TO the billposters, while making it unpront-
able for them to disf cure cities with signs OF
enormous size.
Senator Fitzgerald's bill makes no such dls-
elimination It's general aim of restricting the
abuse of bill posting is good, but Its 1allure
properly to restrict abuse without prohibiting
legitimate business may bring reproach on the
whole idea of regulating signs. To avoid TINS
the appropriate civic societies might wisely
take I'D the subject and bring forward a moder-
ate measure which would command respect
There is a strong desire in the legislature TO
find sources of indirect revenue, and conserva-
tive bill promising a good income and a re-
striction of poster monstrosities might find
favor. 1t is at any rate, subject which should
be kept before the public.

MORE ARCTIC EXPLORATION.

One can readily understand the sentiment
which animates DR. Charcct in organizing an
Arctic expedition. France says ne, mas
hitherto left this work to foreigners. She mas
seen America. England, Germany, Sweden ana
ITALY engage actively in such undertakings in
the last five or ten years. and il is natural that
her national pride should be touched Sth.
something more than the spirit of competition

II remains to be seen how fully DR.. Charcot
scheme will utilize those essentials. He seems
TO recognize the Importance Of having a stout
shin 20 heein with. Again, in seeking to enlist
De Gerlache. commander Of recent Antarctic
expeditjon. he shows an appreciation of the
value of experience in this field OF research
Still, until more is known about the organiza-
tion OF his company and its equipment only the
most conservative expectations in regard TO Its
s,uceess will be warranted The world will wei
come wisely planned attempts, but it can en-
1ertain anlv moderate hopes until it perceives
evidences of exceptional capacity.
The most difficult problem to be dealt with in
Arctic exploration is to find satisfactory means
of conveyance for the final stage Of the Journey
Hitherto. after the ship or land base was aban-
s1oned the sole reliance for getting over the ice
has been dogs and sledges. Their inadequacy is
not yet fully demonstrated, by any means. and 1t
must be confessed that nothing better is avail
able to-day Nevertheless one cannot help
wondering how long it will be before the last
fo1gr hundred or five hundred miles on this side
Of the Pole viii be traversed in submarine
boat or flying machine The former device
is lust now beset with two drawbacks. Il may
not have buoyancy enough 10 come 10 the sur
face through pack ice, and it is hardly fitted for
50 long run under the surface as could be
wished Both of these objections might be
overcome though, by building boat expressly
for the work IN hand. II is absurd 10 imagine
that the full limits Of the activity of submarine
craft have yet been developed So, too with
self propelled airships. Nothing Of that kind
which can now be had is capable Of travelling
one[tenth OF the necessary distance, to say moth
ing about returning Great improvements in
the efficiency and range Of flying machines can
safely be counted upon, however. II is not too
soon, therefore, for projectors Of Arctic expe-
ditions 10 famiiiarize themselves with both Of
these means OF transportation so that they may
be prepared TO take advantage of the advances
which are sure 10 come
Still another resource which will be of un-
questionable value in this class of work before
many wears is wireless telegraphy. When there
ere permanent land stations in Newfoundland
and at Disco, Greenland a properly equipped
slaip can report concerning its welfare and stu-
stion all the way up 10 the highest winter berth

similar facilities TO vessels going UP TO Spitz-
bergen and Franz Josef Land. None of the

EARS.

The somewhat surprising announcement mas
been made that the city Of Paris is planning to
have 9 great fair for a fortnight next spring,
and to repeat it every year. making 1t a regular
yearly feature of her industrial and commercial
life At first blush we might consider this
venture an emulation of the famous far or
Mini Novgorod, and suppose that thus France
means to offer to her great ally the fine hattery
of imitation But then. Leipsic, too in hated
Germany, has an equally famous fair, which
this in Paris will probably more nearly re-
semble than the one on the banks of the NOlga.
We must therefore conclude that it is chiefly
for its own sake that Paris is going TO have her
fair, hoping to find therein much profit for her
accomplished artisans and enterprising trades
men. Beyond doubt the Vile Lumiere" is IN
commonly well fitted for such an enterprise.
It's situation and plan greatly fayor it. City of
pleasure though it is, must remember that
it is also one of the greatest manufacturing GEN.
tres of the world, and, indeed, in certain impor-
tant lines of goods leading the whole world
1t will be interesting to see another great
yearly fair added to the list of those already
existing That at Mini Novgorod is probably
the best known in the world and is surely the
Oldest dating back nearly thousand years.
1t was founded in the barbaric days when such
gatherings seemed essential for the promotion
of commerce and when commerce was con-
Quoted chiefly by barter. With the advance of
civilization in Russia in recent years it is said
to have declined somewhat in size though its
transactions still amount TO more than $780,,
900 600 q year, and it is still a huge mass of
mediaval 0arbarism. There also other
fairs in highly civilized countries. such as that
at Leipsic, which is now in the fifth century Of
its yearly existence, and those at the two
Frankforts. at Pesth and at Bergamo. Indeed,
Paris itself used to be the seat of great fairs,
famed throughout Europe so that this one
will be only a revival of an ancient custom
Yet it is surprising that Paris undertakes it,
for such affairs seem to be of doubtful value
to any really great city. Certainly one would
not be favorably regarded here Worlds fairs
or exhibitions have been got up in this coun-
try, and will doubtless continue to be, by way
Of commemoration of notable dates in history
The material benefit of such an enterprise to
the city in which it is held is doubtful. Some
places may or might be thus benefited The
best judgment is TO the effect that Philadelphia
was not benefited in 1876. We have seen no
convincing indication that the Columbian Fair
did Chicago any real good In New-Yorl there
is certainly a strong feeling that worlds fair
would do this city more harm than good. The
fact is, this city is all the year round great
fair in continuous performance. In almost
every important particular. for trade. for eX-
hibition or for pleasure and Sightseeing New
York every day in the year surpasses any
worlds fair that ever was held. If Paris does
engage in such venture we wish her all sue
cess with it But Broadway and Fifth-ave. are
good enough for US.
