count of the guns and other Russian

The following is worthy of con-
sheraton: The man who loves his
city and who is ever ready to give
his time and means to it's advance
nent is the highest type of citizen,
and his value to the community
cannot be measured. Civic pride
manifests itself in jealous regard
for the honor and fair name Of the
community, true devotion to it's
interests, willingness to make per
sonal interest secondary, if need be,
to its advantage, a desire that it
may advance in all good things.
The city in which a majority of the
inhabitants are ruled by these i'm
pulses is sure to be attractive, and a
pleasant, profitable place to live. 1t
is truism in political and social econ
omy that the good of the many is
the ultimate good of the individual.
Hence, when the people of a com
lnunity make their desire the adj
vancement of their common object,
that is, the progress of the commu-
nifty in which they live, they are
building upon sure foundation and
at the same time are doing that
which will surely rebound to their
personal advantage.

realized and the long-looked- for
proved to be youngster of the
masculine gender, tipping the
beam at about nine pounds and he
responded most Justify to the
| initial caresses rendered him. Pos
sessing a half-interest in the youth
it is quite natural that we should
devote little attention to his early
training, and therefore if this
issue Of the Herald is in any way

CLUB PLANS TO LIFT
THE CANADIAN CUP
White Bear Champion Is
Being Given Much
Thought.

The yachting season throughout the
country informally opens on Decoration
day and the formal racing the Saturday
following. On local waters the yachting
game will be resumed on the most ex-
tenslve scale ever carried on in the
Northwest, and the eyes of the yachting
world will be centered on White Bear
during portion of next month, and will
tnen follow the White Bear champion to
montreal, where the battle for the Sea-
Wanhaka cup, the most priced interna-
tional trophy sailed for by small yachts
takes place in August.
White Bear will be in mueh better
shape to fight it out with the Royal ST
Lawrence Yacht club this year than they
were in 1900
This year the club is going at the work
very Systematically. System, even to a
painful degree, IS being employed in the
perfection of a line Of study which it is
intended will bring out the fastest work
OF the fastest boat built for the purpose
whether the boat selected will be fastest
IN ngnt or heavy weather, or be a happy
medium, is still a matter of conjecture
water conditions of White Bear and
porvaI are radically different, and the
boat which Is best fitted to show the
greatest speed in a good sea is the one
likely to be favored. Even this boat will
pc taken to Oshkosh and tried on Lake
building in the shop Of Jones & Laborde
with view OF trying out her weather
qualities.
Up to this time the club has spent up-
wards OF $4,000 in its preparation for the
montreal races, which money has been
raised by popular subscription OF club
members; hn,il s;;, The boats which will stay at
aIter the trial races are finished and
there Will be some lively bidding to Sc
cure re a first-class boat;
one by one the old-time favorftes of
White Bear are being taken to other
lakes, and the local market is being
searched for fast material to flII in on
other waters.
Knight Errant is one Of the latest to be
removed: and has left for Clear Lake,
ooaI go against Crusader also formerly
OF White Bear. Knight Errant sailed a nip
and tuck contest with Seeress for cham
plonSnlp honorS last season, and has been
regarded as one of the fastest boats in
the club.
Red Devil. prominent class boat of
last season, has been sold to Minnetonka
yachtsmen. Red Devil was owned by the
OrdWays, who will have another new b
crack mas also gone over to Minnetonka
as has Black Deuce. Minneapolis has been
an excellent patron of White Bear this
spring, and local yachtsmen are pleased
10 note the new hold which yachting
mas taken over there. While it is out Of
tne question for this year, it is being hop
eu ana urged by many members of both
cIubs to resume the interlake contests
which were held for so many years be-
1t Is likely that If suitable cup were
offered to start the ball rolling the thing
could easily be accomplished for next
season.

St. Thomas VIII Protest Award
to ST. Olaf.


After the seventh inning, with the score
to in their favor the ST. Thomas team
quit the grounds at ST. Olaf yesterday to
catch train, and Umpire Boone awarded
the game to st. Olaf. The st. Thomas
players maintain they did not know Of
Paul, and say that the game will be pro-
tested.
The Saints contend that 1t was under
stood that the game was to end at
o'clock. and that there is conference rule
providing that after five innings play a
team may quit to catch train.
The game was characterized by fire.
quent disputes and some Of the St.
Thomas players were struck with stones
while leaving the field. The ST. Olaf
team maintains that it offered to pay the
expenses Of the Saints If they would finish
the game.
The teams were about even with the
stick, but the ST. Olaf players did poor
work in the field. Both Booth and Bren-
ma had good control and pitched steady
ball throughout, although Brenna's mates
Supported him poorly The score:
