The regiment mustered s13 men, and they

pie have come from long distances along
the shore in automobiles to be on hand at

beer, finally winding up with whisky and
rum. Mixed drinks put these animals al

they wobbled and tumbled about the camp

laughter. To complete the joke the bears.

lots Of the horse-show folk went to Allen
hurst, Monmouth Beach and Deal where
they both stopped at hotels and were en-
tertained at house parties.
OF course, the horse show at Long Branch
this week was made an excuse for a lot OF
at summer homes. In addition many the
atrical entertainments. professional and
amateur, have claimed attention along with
garden fetes dinners, balls and the like.
Last night there was an exceptionally fine
concert at the Hollywood Hotel, where most
of the horse show folk gathered, and after
ward a cotillon, beginning at IL o'clock
was danced. 1t was led by A. r. Walsh

in such numbers that until near midnight it
is hard to push ones way through them.
At this part of the walk small groups OF
young men singing college songs and pop
ular airs at the top of their voices have be-
come very noticeable lately. Their pres
ence gave happy suggestion to Beach
Commissioner Gordon. who now proposes
the erection of stand where boardwalk
glee club. composed Of people who want to
sing in this fashion may hold forth each
evening. The matter has been taken up
with several members of the college slee
club now spending the summer here, with
the probability that an organization win
be made before August is we'll advanced.
All the hotels are now holding festivities
of one SORT or another nightly. A fancy
dress ball for children enlisted attention at
the Lafayette Il few evenings ago.

"The Homer of Provence"
From Current Literature.


My sole ambition" wrote Frederic Mis-
trail recently, has been to preserve the
Provencal language and to do honor to my
race, and this by means Of poetry The
words have the ring of sincerity, and may
be said to sum up Mistrals life work in a
sentence He began composing In the Pro
vencal tongue because he resented the
slurs cast on the rustics of Provence and
their language; and his writings and his
acts have been instinct from first to last
with love of his people, whom he has
never forsaken for the leshpots OF the
great world.
He devoted twenty years to compiling n
dictionary Of their language-a task in
which he nearly sacrificed his eyesight
because he believed it duty he owed
them He agitated the reopening to great
popular spectacles of the amphltheaters of
Aries Orange and Mines because he con-
Sidered that these superb historic monu-
ments rghtfully belonged to them by rea-
son of their racial passion for the beauti-
full. He organized all sorts of brill liant
and picturesque anniversary fetes in order
to help them to perpetuate their charming.
ancestral traditions. Finally, he founded
the Museum of Provencal antiquities at
Aries as the most practical means of con-
serving for them their artistic heirlooms,
which were rapidly being carried away by
collectors TO the four corners of the earth.
Mistral's most famous poem is Mi
reille," a Provencal epic. 1t was through
"Mireille'' that his fresh and original
poetic attitude was first revealed; 1t was
"Mireille," more than any other one
thing, which made possible the subsequent
success of the ProVencal renaissance; ana
to "Mireile" more than to any other one
thing he owed his receipt of Nobel prize
and the commentator of President Roose-
Welt.
