added shat this meant that the visit OF the
English players WAS assured. but he could
give no further details until he heard by letter
from Mr. Hunter. He did not know whether
ten from each Of the universities was meant,
but was OF the opinion that only ten In all
were coming over. The departure in August
meant that the players would wait for the
end of the summer terms. In July, and Mr..
Windeler thought it probable that the team
would wish to be back in September for the
fall meeting at st. Andrews. Mr.. Ballou
said that no plans would be made for the re-
ception Of the team until Mr.. Hunters letter
arrived
The news will settle a matter that has

Mining Exhibit that is Unique.

The dead and ~liieless mining exhib-
1t which is ordinarily found at EXPOSE
tions will not be seen as representing
the great mineral interests of Missouri
at the Worlds FAIR. The Missouri
Worlds Far Commission, through its
Department of mining, of which Hon.
NJ. t. Davis, of Springfield, is chair
man, and Col. II. H. Gregg, is superin-
tendent, is arranging an exhibit that
will be attractive from its novelty.
It will show not only what Missouri is
doing, but what the possibilities OF the
state are. This latter point will be
emphasized. The undeveloped MINER
al resouces of Missouri. Its clay, stone.
nsphallum, as well as its coal, zinc.
lead, will be exploited. The result o.
such an exhibit, attractively installed
and managed upon the broad lines
planned by the Missouri Worlds Fai
Commission, cannot fail to bring Miss
our into larger prominence as a state o
tremendous mineral wealth.

UP vEsuvIUs BY RAIL.
New Electric Road Takes Tourists
70 the crater's Brink.

AVN LANNNAAN ENNAa
70 the crater's Brink.
For more than 20 years there
has been a cable railway up the
topmost portion of Ves1vius, the
cone Of ashes that surmounts the
more active crater. A few people
have used it, but in order to do 80
it has been necessary until re-
Gently to take a long and rather
tedious stage ride from Naples.
BY means of the new electric rail-
road it is now possible to avoid a
large part of the Inconvenience.
The new line starts from Re-
sina, which is built above the ru-
ms Of Herculaneum, and connects
with the lower end of the cable
railway. Over parts of the new
line the cars run as they do on an
ordinary trolley road, the grade
being so gentle that slipping is i'm
possible. Elsewhere, the slope
being sleeper, the old-fashioned
track" is employed, like that on
Mount Washington, in this cOun-
try, or the one which goes up the
J~ungfrau. The recently con-
structed road is composed of
three sections. On the first, about
two miles long, and the third,
whose length is a plump mile and
a half, the cars go without special
help. On the intermediate Sec
ton, a mile long, assistance is
requisite, and there an electric To-
connective is coupled on to the cars.
From the under side of this engine
reach downward two strong cog
wheels that engage a continuous
rack in the rOadbed, which Oper-
alton enables the car to climb
with certainty, though slowly,
when the power is turned on.
1t has been possible to utilize
the natural surface of the volcano
most of the way. Very little cut.
ting or filling was necessary.
When any mason work was at
temnted the material emDIOyed
was cold lava, of which there was
an abundance at hand. The gauge
of the track is one meter, and
light rails have been available,
though the quality of the con.
struction was superior. AS an
electric road from Naples to the
vicinity of Resina has been run
ming for years, the trip is now
made very comfortably.

THE POWER OF A TITLE.
10 Considerable Even In Democratic

IL Considerable Even In Democratic
America-The General"
The United States is not much
given to titles and certainly there
are but few with which to con
lure, but the titles General and
captain" seem to carry a great
deal of weight in connection with
privileges incident to the cup
races.
This, says the New York Times,
was observed in a particularly
striking manner the day of the
second contest between Sham
rock III. and Reliance. The rev.
enue cutter Gresham, flagship Of
the patrol feet, a tug, and two
men, accompanied by women
guests, figured in the incident.
The cutter Gresham was off st.
George. The harbOr cutters Win
nisimmett and Mackinac were

yacht races to the ocean-going cut
tiers. The harbOr cutters Laid

off the port side. Instantly all was
attention on the bridge aud deck
of the Gresham.

ed a deck hand from near the pilot
house of the tug.
The blue jackets and the white
jackets on the Gresham sprang to
the port gangway to receive the
General" and "Captain." Up
they came with their friends, and
none seemingly enjoyed the race
more than they.
The "Generar" and "Captain"
were in civilian garb. The "Gen.
eral" was a foreman of a gang OF
municipal employees, and his com
panion likewise has abouta as much
claim to a title.
