Fraternity. Charity and Loyalty
towards our order and towards each
other. 1t gives me great pleasure
to report such an interest manifested
in all the posts | have visited. All
seem to be in good condition financial
~ and socially. Nearly all the posts
have comfortable quarters, some of
them are elegant. The long year in
which 1 have presided over the de-
partment has been marked by no par
ticular changes. The year has been
prosperous with no serious contentious
| or disagreements. All has been peace
| full and harmonious. so that the judge
advocate has had little to do in depart
rlent matters. The list Of deceased

MICHIGAN WILL BUILD
BIG FOOTBALL STADIUM
Structure Will Cost Athletic Associa-
tion About SI3,ooo-Win Prevent
Accidents to Spectators.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. May AT a
meeting of the university regents Direc-
tor Charles Baird was authorized TO
spend $1,000 of the athletic association s
money fo- the fitting UP OF additional
stands and bleachers at Ferry Field.
When the new football field was laid
out II was planned 10 have a large
stationary bleacher Of cement erected
Had this been carried out it would not
only prevent the accidents which some
times attend the Overcrowding of foot
ball stands. but the association would
then be saved the expense of constantly
repairing and rebuilding the bleachers
The football agitation put an end 10
these plans for a time. and il was
thought that il would be impossible TO
have the cement bleachers on account
OF the extra money required. However
the authorization by the regents OF the
expenditure Of this amount OF money
makes II seem likely that the work Will
be carried on after all.

GRANT MUST MEET
SWANSON HERE
New York Mans Manager
FaYOrs Washington.
GIVES ZOE" BIG HANDICAP
Willing to WTestle Local Man at I5s
Pounds-Match Not Yet
Settled.

In reply TO the acceptance of his chaI-
lenge by Joe Grant, for a finish match.
Alex Swanson. of New York, states that
the matter is entirely in the hands OF
Rob Roy Mackey. of this city. and that
the only stipulatiOns he will make is
that a forfeit of SIS TO be deposited at
The Times office. 10 clinch the affair.
and thst the bout be held in Washing
ton instead of Baltimore.
When Grant accepted Swanson's def
last week, the former agreed TO meet
the New Yorker at $50 pounds ringside,
but the latter is magnanimous and
states that he wants Grant to outweigh
him by ten pounds at least. He agrees
TO weigh in at las pounds ringside. and
wants Grant to tip the scales at I5s
This is Grants best weight. and al
though Swanson is one of the best in
himself to down the local man under
such a handicap. even though rs is his
weight
There seems TO have been some mis-
understanding among local wrestling
fans about the article which appeared
IN these columns in regard to this
match last week. The false impression
that the match had been definitely set
tied was gained. Such. however. Is not
the case. As the stipulaUOns made by
Manager Weiss. who is looking out for
Grants interests, were not satisfactory
to Mackey. who is SWanSOn's local
manager Until a forfeit is posted with

loves 10 converse on matters relating
to the mat game, viii preserve silence.
But one thing he states as absolutely
certain and that Is that under no con-
ditions will any match be agreed upon

can be brought together, as 4 will be
the last big bout of the season. and If il

BRITISH QUEEN SAYS
RACING Is NAUGHTY

LONDON. May THE Queen has in
timated her opposition to horse racing
and race tracks The fashionable race
courses of Ascot and Goodwin will not
be graced by the presence Of her
majesty.
The. death of her father is the osten-
sible reason for her intended absence
from these fashionable meetings, but
behind this is the Queens intense and
growing dislike for horse racing.
The Queen was greatly distressed by
certain incidents associated with the
sport of kings last year, and particu-
larly by the recent scandal in which
Lord Gerard was involved. This peer s
mother is a very close friend Of the
Queen. and the dangerous influence of
the race track on young men has led
her majesty to be seen little at the
tracks
