aboard a brig at midnight, and soon
after the noon mess we dropped down

There we lay waiting for nightfall. A

He was a great whip, that man David
Parish, who had built a big mansion
at Ogdensburg and owned so much Of
the north country those days. He was
a gentleman when the founders of the
proud families Of to-day were dicker-
ing in small merchandise. Indeed, one
might look in vain for such an estab-
lishment as his north of Virginia.
This side the Atlantic there was no
stable Of horses TO be compared with
that he had-splendid English thor
oughbreds, the blood of which is now
in every great family Of American
horses. And, my faith, he did love to
put them over the road. He went tear
ing UP hill and down at a swift gal
lOp. and the roads we're none too
smooth in that early day. Before leAv-
ing home he had sent relays ahead to
await his coming every Is miles of the
journey; he always did that if he had
far to 90. This time he had posted
them clear to the harbor. The teams
were quickly shifted; then we were off
again with a crack of the whip and a
toot Of the long horn. He held up in
the swamps, but where footing was
fair, the high-mettled horses had their
heads and little need Of urging. We
halted at an inn for a sip of something
and a bite to eat.

Great fleets of Malay vessels 60 into
the sea south Of Borneo each year to
fish for trepang or sea slugs, which
are esteemed great delicacy in Chi
ma and other Asiatic countries. A
British government, official writes:
"The proas are peculiar looking con-
Germs and present most clumsy ap-
pearance. The hull Is Of wood, and the
top, sides, deck, roof and yards are
made of bamboo, the sails Of mating
and many Of the ropes and hawsers Of
plated cane. They are steered by
two rudders, one on either side Of the
stern. Some Of them carry iron an
chors, others wooden ones, with heavy
stones dashed to them. Often when
the anchor is let go man Is sent down
to see that it is properly fixed In good
holding ground. The mast is a pecul.
lar concern, being formed Of wood or
bamboo, having two stays, SO that in
appearance it resembles lengthy tri-
dent, the spaces between the masts
and stays being fitted with wooden
steps. on which the sailors stand to
hoist and roll up the sail, which un-
rolls again by simple contrivance
like window blind.
when you go on board proa you
go over the bow, that being close to
the waters edge, the stern being away
up in the air. You then climb q beam
and step across an opening to the
deck in front of the captains cabin,
which is situated on one side of the
bow, similar one being on the oppo-
site side for the second in command.
The deck is Of split bamboo, worked
together with wire or fiber, and can be
rolled up at pleasure. The entrance
to the cabins is about 2 feet by 2 feet

you must 60 on your hands and knees

Saturday and Sunday Saturday
evening and Sunday afternoon the
Observation-Disclosures teams played
two highly interesting games at the
local park. Saturdays game was only
a seven inning game owing to dark
ness and resulted in score of three
to two in favor of the home team.
Sunday afternoons game was par
ticularly exciting and resulted in a
victory for the visitors by a score of
four to two. There were some very
pretty plays productive of intense ex-
element and the two teams would
play beautiful exhibition games. The
attendance at the games was not indi-
cative of the population of the city.
Many Will Celebrate Here-The
general Fourth of July committee met
Saturday afternoon and discussed the
plans for the Fourth. From several
outside points as far east as Dawson
word was received of many people
planning to spend the Fourth here.
One fare has been granted on all the
rail- Dads and indications are for
big crowd. The committee will try to
furnish each school child in the pro.
cession with flag, but the number
of children is so uncertain-as many
are coming from the country-that in
order to make sure of having a flag
each child should bring one along,
the more the better. Arrangements
were made to meet with all the vari-
GUS subcommittee at city hall this
afternoon, when final arrangements
for the several events of the celebra-
ton will be made.
