Paper money, says a meteorological
expert, will afford transportation for
germ for two months, while metal
would carry the same undesirable pas
senger only about twenty-four hours.
Now will you continue to insist upon
getting your change in bills rather
than silver? jocularly inquiries the
Massachusetts Plougnman.

Since the present enthusiasm for
observing the habits of the birds
came into full swing it may be sus-
pected that the early bird not only
gets the worm, remarks the Boston
Transcript, but is about the only bird
that is given an opportunity to go
worm getting in peace and quiet.

The appropriation OF $250,000 by
Congress to provide for the partici-
patton by the American and foreign
navies in the celebration of the tri-
centenary of the first settlement of
Eng,ish-speaking people on this con-
tinent at jamestown, Va, will insure
one of the greatest demonstrations Of
sea power in the worlds history, says
the New York World. Within the
space of a mans vision will be dis
played the perfected handiwork of the
nations in the art of war on the sea,
and as such it viii furnish material
for comparison, imitation and i'm

States for the modest sum appropriate

be the chief adjunct to the James
Down Exposition.

Probably larger number of peo-
pie than ever before will come to a
realization this year of the greatness
of our country and the Importance of
our national park, says the Boston
Transcript, for the travel to the Lewis
and Clark Exposition at Portland will
lead many thousands from the East
and the Mississippi Valley past the
gateway of the Yellowstone Park, and
of the exposition visitors many will
stop enroute to see the unparalleled
wonders of nature there.

General Chaffee has issued an Or
der that American soldiers must be
swimmers, states the Hartford
Conn Courant This is sound poi
icy. and it is good work to compel
the men who are not up in the art
to learn. 1t is almost as essential to
a soldier as shooting. But there is
not reason for limiting the compul-
sion to the army. 1t should be most
emphatically enforced in our public
schools.

flags beyond number.
The convention hall, the center of
all the attraction, was profusely deco
rated inside and out but the architec-
tural beauty of the building was so
great that decoration was not neces-
sary to make it attractive.
The structure cost the city of Long
Beach $35, 900, and it has a seating ca
pacity of 5000, which would be large
enough for almost any convention that
would come to California.
The program of the dedication be-
gan at 2 o'clock. The opening number
was a march by Donatelli. and played
by his band.
The first address was made by w.
Nv. Lowe, who did more than any one
else, probably, to make the affair a
success. He introduced Rev. Charles
Pease of the First Congregational
church and the latter invoked a bless
ing on the assemblage.
Addresses were made by Lee G.. Gates
of Los Angeles, Mayor r. A. Emo of
Long Beach and Senator II. Dorsey
Patton of Ocean Park.
The evening program was also of in
terest, and the day was one of the
utmost enjoyment for all who took

better view of the horses as they came

The Santa Ana track is seven to ten
seconds faster than the San Bernardino
track, which was heavy. The best heat
in the 2:12 pace at San Bernardino was
made in 2:17, while the same distance
was travelled yesterday by practically
the same horses in 2:10 1-2.
The best heat in the 2:14 trot at San
Bernardino was made in 2:21, which
was the time for each of the three
heats run, while the best time made
yesterday by practically the same
horses was 2:15 1-2.
No better racing could be witnessed
on the grand circuit. barring time, than
the events contested yesterday over the
Santa Ana course. Every contest was
filled with interest and excitement and
the display by horsemen and horses
was on par with the grand circuit
contests
Three stables are at the Santa Ana
meeting from the grand circuit and
this fact lends an added interest to
the meeting. The stables OF j. g. Kirk

Henry c. Brent are fresh from grand
circuit meetings. and their horses are
