Roosevelt has given consideration re.
Gently to suggestions looking to re-
auction in the membership of the Pam
anna Canal Commission, but thus far.
II can be said, no definite decision has
been reached.
1t has been urged by some mem bers

large as TO be unwieldy. 1t is known
tnat representative Hepburn of Iowa.
chairman of the House COMMITTEES on
Interstate and Foreign Commences is
inclined to the opinion that the com
mission is too large, and that the chief
engineer of the canal ought to have
greater initial authority than he now
has.

History of the Coach.

As popular as coaching is IN some parts OF
the country, bat little reliable information has
ever appeared ia the public press respecting
its history aud development At the town Of
Kotze, IN Hungary. in 1887, the first coach
was constructed. This was soon attefward
presented to Charles VII at Paris. The first
authentic record Of stagecoach in England
shows that six Of such vehicles were in USE
there 10 1862 So popular did they become
in that country thar few years later they
were in general use on all the principal roads
of the kingdom.
Steam railways have to q large extent done
away with the use Of the coach as a link in the
commercial chain, but as a means OF furnish
ing the highest type Of recreation the coach
aud four is as popular today in the British
empire and in France as II was when this Was
practically the only means of locomotion in
those countries.
Safeguarding In America WAS almost CO.
extensive with the settlement of the colonies,
and in the early history of the country there
were few if any places Of any Importance that
did not welcome the sound of the coachman S
horn as one of the fascinating incidents OF
pioneer life.. As civilization pushed itself
westward the stagecoach was ever ia the lead
of those agencies which blazed its pathway
These vehicles, as well as their equipments,
were comparatively crude in their construction
and unpretentious in their appointments, but
they admirably served the purpose for which
they were intended and laid the foundation
for the popularity of coaching as pleasurable
pastime developed in later years.
Coaching parties had been popular in Eng
land and France for several generations before
they were introduced in this country, yet the
sport is so wholesome and enjoyable that it
cannot be doubted that in time il will become
as popular here as it is across the Atlantic.
