EASTERN TRIP
FOR OLYMPIANS
Athletic Club Boxers Are to
Compete at the st. Louis
Exposition Tournament
CLEVER MEN > CHOSEN
Directors Plan a Pleasant
Pilgrimage for the Post
Street Glove Wielders
CLEVER MEN {, CHOSEN

In view of the marked interest dis
played by the members of the Olym-
pic Athletic Club in amateur boxing
President William Greer Harrison and
the directors have decided that the
club shall be represented in that de-
partment of sport at the st. Louis
Exposition.
The matter was discussed at the
last meeting of the directors and as
sumed shape at snce. The selection
of the men was placed in the hands
of De Witt Van Court, the clubs COM
petent boxing instructor. The num-
ber to go has not been determined
upon, as it will depend on the funds
available.
The most prominent candidates are:
Heavy-weight-Sam Berger.
Light eavy-weight-HarTy Chester.
MiddIe-weg ght-Gecrge Murray.
Lightweight-Robert Lundie, Robert Cairns
and Jack Mccarthy.
Special, 125 Dounds-W. ]. Leonard.
Feather -weight-Willie Dwyer.
Professor Van Court believes these
boys will outclass any of the Eastern
boxers. OF the champions who visit
ed this coast some years since, Scholes,
the Canadian, was the only one who
made a brilliant showing. Dukelow
was a failure, while Rodenbach and
the others did nothing out of the or
binary.
1t is expected a number of Olympic
Club men will time their visit to the
exposition so that they can accom-
pany the party. In this way a special
car could easily be filled. The box
ers are delighted with the prospect
and are already in light training. 1t
is not known yet when the tourna-
ment will be held.

BY b. BENJAMIN. JR
Washington, ID. Cl5he importance
and extent Of the farmers institute
movement in this country received rec
ognition by the government last year
and were brought more prominently to
general notice than ever before by the
establishment of a new Office in the
Office Of EXPERIMENT stations that was
devoted to the duty Of assisting the
farmers institute workers OF the Unit
ca States TO the charge of third office
Hon. John Hamilton was appointed
under the title of s'farmers institute
specialist There are probably many
people, however, even among the farm
ers who still know little or nothing Of
farmers Institute work and the object
it seeks to accomplish. AS to what the
farmers institute ought to be and
what it ought to strive to do Specialist
Hamilton has said:
@There was a time whep< the insti-
tute meeting was selected as an APP
propriate place for some agricultural
pessirhist to preach d funeral sermon
That day is past. The new gospel Of
agriculture is one or good news of
deliyerance from ignorance, supersti-
tion and medieval ways and the true
minister in this service Is a hopeful.
helpful and enthusiastic man. The OBJ
ject is, in short, to educate not only
the farmers, but the race. in the fun
damental principles that underlie the
all important art Of producing animals
and crops. 1t is the agency for dis
seminating information in agriculture

Enthusiasm In MICHIGAN.

Michigan reports total attendance
at Institutes for the year 19O2-03 of
100000, of whom 10000 attended two
days meetings. The amount of money
expended was the state fund of 81, 800
Ten thousand copies of an institute re-
port of 100 pages We're published The
number of state speakers on the In
stitute force was 100. For several
years the largest ATTENDANCE at one day
institutes has beer secured in small
villages in the center of thicl1ly set
tied farming community. and the great
difficulty has been found in securing a
hall or a church sufficiently large to ac-
commodate the crowd While this is
most common with the one day insti-
tutes, which are held for the most part
in villages. a similar difficulty has been
found during the year at number Of
the two day institutes. In only one
state, Kansas, do government statis-
tics for 1902-03 give larger average
attendance than in Michigan, the fig
ures being: Kansas, 400; Michigan, 407.

Women's Institutes.

This, is an age of organizations, and
in Canada feature is being made of
women's institutes, because, though the
men ana women of farms have many
interests In common, there are times
when the subjects discussed are not
equally interesting.
The department Of agriculture gives
each women's institute $40 year, and
each also receives $40 from either the
farmers institute or the county council,
in some cases from both, thus giving it
something to start with.
Another source of revenue is the year
" excursion to the agricultural college.
Each farmers institute has an exeur-
sion during. the month of June. The
swomen's institute receives some proper
ton of the funds provided. Each menu
Der pays a membership fee of % cents
a year. This is within the reach of
every one and gives all some interest
in the institute. They belong to it.

One of tie secrets of success in In
stitute work has been in the practical
character OF the work done. In the
great majority of cases the teachers at
farmers Institutes thus Tar have been

PARTNERSHIP FORMED
BY GASGH AND BIRGE
Herman E. Gasch and Harry c. Birge
VIII Conduct Real Estate and
Insurance Business.

Herman E. Gasch. of Gasch Bros,
and Harry c. Birge. secretary Of the

formed co-partnership styled Gasch &
Birge, for the purpose of carrying on
the real estate and insurance business.

present quarters Of Gasch Bros. and
the insurance business win be taken care
of in the present offices Of the Riggs
Fire Insurance Company.
Arthur z. Gasch. of Gasch Bros.
has retired from the firm. but this has
rot been generally known save TO some
of his intimate personal friends. This
would have necessitated change in the
plan OF running the business, which in
had not such a partnership as the one
above been entered into.
That Messrs. Gasch and Birge have
made this co-partnership is no surprise
to their friends and business associates.
since they have always been known for
their mutual and cordial esteem for each
other.
Gaseh & Birge will be the resident
managers for the German-American In
surance Company of New York. and
their arrangement with this company
provides for a continuation of the de-
served.y popular management OF the
Riggs Fire Insurance Company. Al
losses will be settled with promptness
and dispatch, without discount. The
policy holders will have the same treat
ment with the additional security afford
ed by over 900 assets Of the New
York company.
1t is understood that Gasch & BirgC
have taken 4 lease OF 70S Fourteenth
Street, the Riggs Insurance Company
Offices and here Mr.. Birge will make his
headquarters. Mr.. Gasch will continue

MR.. TAFT DECLINES
A CAVALRY ESCORT
Prefers No Pomp When He Attends
Opening of the st. Louis

Secretary Taft has declined % have a
cavalry escort at the st. Louis Expo
sition at the time of the opening of the
Fair on April 30. when the Secretary of
War will represent the Government
President Francis, of the exposition
company, planned to have a large body
of cavalry escort Secretary Taft to the
Exposition grounds. but at the request
of the Secretary of War this plan will
be abandoned and only exposition off,
Gals will accompany him.
Cavalry escorts for civilians have
caused much comment recently and
have given rise to the charge that too
much pomp and ceremony are finding
place in Government ceremonies. Much
comment was caused by the detail Of
Fort Myer cavalrymen TO escort Secre-
fary Root to the station when he left
Washington after turning the war port
folio over TO Mr.. Taft.
