Race between seven United Battles

United States battleships participated,
was brought here by the battleship
Alabma, which arrived in command Of
Rear Admiral Charles II Davis and
Will go to the navy yard to be over
hauled because Of the poor showing
which she made in the contests. The
ships were coming up the coast
last Saturday, and were about 200
miles south of Cape Henry when the
word was given for q speed test For
two hours 1t was nip and tuck. BY
that time excitement was running high
on board the battleships, and the speed
contest had developed into a race.
Finally the Massachusetts and the Ala
bnma began TO fall behind and when
the signal ending the race was flashed
both these ships were far in the rear.
The Alabama, which has the record
of being the fastest battleship in the
navy, was fully a mile behind the Mas
sachusetts
At the tnish the battleship Missouri,
which had drawn from the others, was
only 1872 miles south Of Cape Henry,
having covered 1862 miles in the eight
hours.

France, Germany, Holland

The evil Of intemperanco has so under

interest them in healthful employment

gifts of land to be allotted to deserving
workmen, and at the Arras exposition,
just closed, first prize was awarded
to the exposition of gardens for work

1903, there existed at that date GOO gar

allotted TO 1000 persons France had

toward the adoption of the full charity
basis, while the Germans inclined to

In order that the work may thrive
in cities where the majority Of opera

necessary to encourage a taste for cultl-

school gardens. II is suggested that on

to use garden implements and acquire
a taste for gardening. Prizes judicious.
