A New Feature in Through
Sleeping Car Service

On Sunday, December II, the Dem
yer & Rio Grande railroad inaugu-
rated daily line of standard and
tourist sleeping cars between Denver
and Los Angeles in connection with
the new Clark Road. Both cars will
leave Denver daily at 1870 n. IN. and
arrive at Salt Lake City at | 80 p. m.
the next day. At this point the cars
will be held ovtr until midnight,
thus allowing through passengers
the privilege of n stop-over of ten
hours and half in Salt Lake City.
Eastbound, these cars will leave Los
Angeles at 500 p. IN. and arrive Salt
Lake City at 6:30 II. IN. the second
morning where they will remain over
until 1850 p. m, thence to Denver
where they will arrive at 4 20 the fol-
lowing afternoon. This stop-over at
Salt Lake City of the regular limo of
sleeping cars promises to be an at
tractive feature for trans-continental
travellers.

PERFECTING PLANS OF
DEPARTMENTAL CHESS LEAGUE

The executive committee of the Depart
mental Chess League at recent meeting
perfected plans for the coming season S
campaign and the first clash over The
checkered boards will soon take place.
The schedule has not yet been prepared,
but 1t is understood that 1t will be consid-
erably shorter than that of last season. and
that fewer clubs will participate In order
to bring this about it was found necessary
to consolidate some of the teams which
scheme was effected at meeting held
Wednesday night. AS result the Treasury
and Commerce and Labor players will come
in as one organization, the War team Qast
seasons champions) will be merged with
Navy, State and Justice will join forces and
Interior will be represented by but one
team instead of last seasons "a and "B
sections This limits the number OF CLUBS
to six, and it is believed will greatly I'm,
proove the schedule, making four months
campaign instead of a prolonged contest OF
nearly six months, as was the case last sea-
son.
All of last years officers were reelected,
as follows: F. B. Walker, Interior, presi-
dent; c. H. Cross, Agriculture, secretary,
and G. w. Parks, Agriculture treasurer.
Mr.. Walker has been delegated TO prepare
schedule, based upon the number OF CLUBS
now represented and the change in length
of playing season.
Very few amendments to the playing
rules have been so far suggested, and 1t is
probable that play will be conducted under
regulations very similar to those In force
last year There are to be no postponed
games, however. each club being compelled
to begin play with the men on hand when
the hour arrives for scheduled match. AS
| the consolidation noted above VIII provide
plenty Of players for each club, however,
this should entail no hardship.
In addition to the club schedule special
| feature is to be introduced, in the shape OF
| a handicap tournament for individual play
ers This will run simultaneously with. the
| club tournament and bids fair to be very
interesting and lively contest.
| On the night of November Z Mr.. Wal
Ger. the Interior team captain and leader
Of last seasons Interior aggregation, viii.
| give an exhibition of simultaneous pay,
| open to all Corners. A large attendance is
| expected.
| It is expected also that a number Of de-
| partmental experts will enter the lists
| against Marshall, the American champion.
| who is to give an exhibition at the rooms
| of the Washington Chess Club tomorrow
| night. If the boys show anything like last
seasons form there is trouble in store for
| Mr. Marshall.

The membership list Is now up to the limit,
but If the boom continues 1t is feared
that the limit will have to be raised.
Reports received from Alexandria are to
the effect that the Old Dominions were
more than pleased with the showing Of their
four-oared crew, who lost a place in the
race by the slipping off of the fin, and next
year will find them in the game with both
feet. They may secure an eight, and as
Dempsey is at present engaged in running

make terms with him also.

Notes of the Oarsrnen

AS pointed out in The Star some weeks
ago, the promoters of the Jamestown expo
sition, having secured the date for the Ma
tional Amateur Association regatta, intend
ed to reach out across the Atlantic and offer
inducements for the attendance Of the lead
ing scullers and crews of the old country
to come here and measure blades with
Americas best. The publication in The Star
was pooh-poohed by some OF the wiseacres
of the north but the news was anthem
tic and the writer knew whereof he spoke,
the notification was made Tuesday last.
Mr.. Henry Phillip Burchel the well-known
aquatic writer of New York, sailed from
New York Wednesday especially empower
ed by the jamestown Exposition Associa-
ton and the National Association OF Oars
men as well to make all arrangements with
English Belgian, French and German oars
men to bring them here next summer. This
was the information first impaired by The
Star and If the mission Of Mr.. Burchell
proves a success it will bring together at
the next annual regatta the greatest gath
erlng of oarsmen the world has ever seen.
and which, as pointed in the former article,
will result advantageously to the Potomac
River Regatta Association. Another effort
by the jamestown people Will be to invade
Australia and get some of the leading anna
teur organizations of that far-away land
to come here also, as that land of the South
sea abounds in all kinds of sporty clubs.
Thus it will be observed that the next ma
tional regatta will be the most attractive
one held since the American centennial Of
1876, when crews came from England, Ire
land and Scotland This news is very
gratifying to the local oarsmen, and they
are discussing the ways and means of CO.
operating and booming the local end of the
affair. OF course. there will be a large
crowd from Washington at the jamestown
races and the Washington boomers will
bring back a big delegation of foreign oars
men to row on the Potomac, which will
follow one week later. One of the projects
of the local oarsmen will be to secure one
large steamboat and make trip altogether
to the jamestown exposition the proceeds
going to pay off the expenses of the Poto-
mac river regatta, and, though it is a good
way off as yet, these arrangements will
be found necessary, as the travel by way of
Washington next summer will be very
heavy.
The New York organizations are going to
start an innovation next summer that was
tried here several years ago to form crews
out of ladies and gentlemen for their club
regattas. 1t is proposed to make mixed
crews in doubles, tours and eigths, the idea
being to bring more ladies to the club
houses and thereby make them more popu-
lar. The Potomacs tried this some years
ago and may endeavor to work up the
scheme again next year.
The Potomacs realize that they have got
to get a decided move on them If they de-
sire to maintain the junior championship of
the river, an honor they won this year
after the greatest aquatic battle Of the

PRELIMINARY CONTEST.

The preliminary contest in which our
high school and its friends are interest
ed, came off last Friday evening. 1t
was a rainy night which accounted for
rather small audience in the high
room. Out of six who had entered the
contest only four were present. Alex.
Sayles and Leslie MenZies for the
affirmative and Irving Palmer and
Lizzie Parkinson for the negative side
of the question given by Marlette
"ResOlved, That commission should
be appointed to fix railroad rates in the
United States" The arguments on
both sides were brought out with clear
strong points, each one of the young
orators speaking bravely and well.
The decision for the team to 60 to
Marlette was made by the judges, Rev.
Thompson, Rev. Cullinane and lawyer
j. A. Rapley in the following order.
First place Irving Palmer; second,
Leslie MenZies; third, Alex. Sayles
The contest is on at Marlette April l3,
when we hope that our three boys will
do themselves and Yale honor in
winning the victory.
