Welcome News.

q have not read more welcome news in many months than the announcement that the Twenty street bridge would be completed Friday night and opened Saturday" said a resident of the South Highlands yesterday.
 q drive a great deal and I must either go across the railroads at Twentieth street anr run the risk of an accident or being delayed several minutes. or I must go across the Twenty-second street bridge and dodge street cars. That bridge is in bad shape and I dislike to drive across it.
 When the Twenty-first street bridge Is opened 1t will be a great relief to the people on the south side of the city who drive to town"

VENICE.
 By John Hay

By John Hay 4A Love, in the Summer night do you re-
 call Midnight. and Venice. and those skies of
 June, Thick strewn with stars. when from the
 still lagoon We glide noiseless 10 the dim canal? A sense of some forgotten festival Hung over us, and our own hearts beat
 in tune With passionate memories. which the
 young moon Lit up on dome and tower and palace
 wall. We dreamed what ghosts of bygone love
 made part Of that still night and trembling amorous
 air: saw in those rich beams that kissed
 your hair Those breezes warm with bygone overs'
 sighs All the old beauties of Venice in your
 eyes. All the dead loves of Venice in my heart.

 The 1905 running of the Tidal, for g. year-olds. at one and one-quarter miles, at Sheepshead Bay. only served to show that Agile and Carngorn were not fit ad- versaries for Meltons speedy son.

In the Lawrence Realization, at one and five- eighths miles, at Sheepshead Bay, Syson- by toyed with Tanya and Migraine and won $16960 more In the Commonwealth Handicap he made Proper and Mabel Richardson look like common selling plat CTS. He added the Brighton Derby and the Iroquos Stakes to his already long list.
 In winning the Annual Champion, at Sheepshead Bay, at two and one-quarter miles, Sysonby brought to climax a 3-year-old career without parallel in the hostory of the American turf. In this race he defeated Oiseau and Broomstick again and won S20.000 This was Sysonbys last start. AS q S-year-old he started eight times and won $14S1So. Altogether he won $179,S53 in two years e.

Is blight which the United Professional Masters of Danc- ing of America. now in convention some- where, will endeavor to remove. X strong and one might say. unassailable point made by the United Professional Masters of Dancing of America, through their spokesman to the press, Is that the minute the music stops waltzing becomes A shock ing procedure. Even without music society would forgive the attitude so long as couple keeps dancing but stationary waltzing is hugging, nothing more and certainly nothing less. It is the hope of the Professional Masters of Dancing of America to do away with the hug-waltz altogether and to restore the chaste. eateh-as-cateh-can variety, when 1t will be possible to look through a couple with out straining ones eyes. Here's success to the dancing masters, May Terpsichore reward them for a righteous stand by glv- Ing more nimbleness to their feetl
 EVER BEEN THERE?
 Did you ever save some money
 I'll you had a little pile
 And then started to invest 1t
 In manner free from guile? Dld you ever meet a fellow
 Who confessed he had a tip
 That would make you very wealthy
 Wasn't any way to slip?
 Did you heed his friendly counsel,
 Giving up your modest stake,
 Only to discover later
 That the fellow was a fake?
 Did you ever long to find him
 And to shake him by the throat? Say, you Ever been plunger?
 Ever soak your overcoat?

 out! M There's longing for the stiffness Of the sleepy countryside, For the shadows of the woodland Where the singing birds abide. And a hoping for a week off Just to loaf and lounge about Oh. thes wanderlust will get you If

 A There's a yearning for a village Far away from daily toll, Near the flower fields and meadows, Drawing plenty from the soil; There's a growing love for freedom From all cares and future doubt Oh the wanderlust will get you If
 you
 don't
 watch
 out.
