FUN All FAD FOB MEXTCO

Now that Mexico is gold country other good things will be added unto her. So 1t is not at all surprising that the government of President Diaz wants to popularize baseball in Mexico as a winter sport, preferring it to the bull fight and the Cuban jai alai. Not only has the American game received an impetus in the City of Mexico, but there are teams in Vera Cruz, Monte- rey, Tampico, San Luis Potosi, and Guadalaraja. A movement is on foot to organize an amateur league, but the great distance between the cities is a drawback to this scheme. However, the different teams visit each other and exchange games. A movement is also on foot to induce some of the large pro- fessional teams of the United States to visit Mexico and undergo winter train- ing there. Although it is not believed that any of the teams of the United States will avail themselves of the op- portunity this year, the enthusiasts of the. City of Mexico believe that next winter several teams from the United States will prepare for their summer campaign under the warm skies of the republic. v
 Congratulations to the Mexicans. They will know what real, pure, quiet and noisy fun is when baseball gets established among them. When it does the bulls can go to grass.

The total width of the floor is 30 feet, and provision is made for a double track railway, two roadways for vehicles, and two sidewalks. In cantilever of this magnitude the individual members are necessarily of huge proportions, the main posts, for instance, being S25 feet in length. and each weighing 75O tons.

BRi1ySH MEETING.

Britannia continues to rule the wave, but she isn't making much money out of part of her rule just now. In his annual review of the condition of British shipping and of the shipbuild- ing industry of the United Kingdom John White, of London, states that 1904 was "a repetition of its predecessor in the unprofitable employment 1t has on the whole supplied to ship owners and, it is to be feared, also to shipbuilders." |" MT. White adds that the supply of ton mage has in every direction been in excess, of the demand, although the war in the East engaged considerable amount of shipping. The situation, from the shipowners viewpoint, would have been deplorable but for the mark cts of India and Argentina. 'The United states," says MT. White, which until the last three years was the main- stay of the freight market, has prac- tically had no grain to export, and the Black Sea, Azoff, Danube, and Baltic have been most disappointing and un- profitable markets
 Although the shipping industry is not doing very well, the ship builders continue to turn out new vessels. The production of the past year of merchant shipping in the United Kingdom was about 1,250,0O0 tons, practically all steamers. Of the tonnage of 1904 about 1,G75,000 tons were added to the Brit ish register. This is the smallest addi- tion since 1897. There were removed from the British register during the last year about 460,OOO tons in steamers and 105,00o tons in sailing ships.

Opponents of New York's $1o1,o0o.Ooo barge canal have, 1t is said, secured opinions from ex-Chief Justice Charles Andrews and Elihu Root that the Barge Canal law is unconstitutional. On the strength of these opinions it is antici- pated that the attorney-general will be asked by taxpayers to begin proceed ings to test the constitutionality of the law before the Court of Appeals. It seems to be inferred that this move- ment has the sympathy of Governor Higgins, as he anticipates deficit due to immediate payments to start the canal.
