his desire for hunt and went into Colorado, where
he shot number of mountain lions and bob cats.
When he became President he for a time decided to
give up hunting, shrinking from the term sport

he later decided to be himself and not to change
his of life and pastimes because he held the
the wild when the longing for the camp, the horses
and hounds, the long tramp with gun on his Shout
der, and the sharp conflict with the fierce wild beast
was more than he could withstand. Such sport he
loves, and its occasional indulgence gives him the
keenest enjoyment.
One form of outdoor life advocated by the Presi-
dent relates to the study of natural history which
time spent in the woods and fields affords He likes

same direction, and who discuss with him the
many wonderful things in nature. This furnishes
a form of relaxation which gives the President a
great deal of pleasure. He does not class it as
sport, but as outdoor recreation useful and
entertaining

President Roosevelt, when asked as to his reported

adapted to his mode of life and the work he doing,
and which keep the mind occupied and the body

kinds of sport and outdoor exercise for boys, and
tells them, When you play, play hard, and when
YOU study study hard. But do not let your play

after they had solemnly enlisted for the voyage.
In June, 1880, however, the Dessoug cleared Alex
andria and started for home. The obelisk caused
trouble whatever; but the voyage not without
its msfortunes. After encounter with water
spouts, the vessel was nearly wrecked by broken
shaft; but July Is New York reached and
the work of land transportation begun By slow
stages the obelisk made its way from the Hudson
River and o6th-st to its final resting place the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in Central Park. The
distance of eleven thousand feet covered in one
hundred and twelve days, or average of ninety
seven feet day. The longest days six hun
dred feet. The pedestal was mounted on enormous
wheels and hauled by sixteen teams of horses.
Thus with all the knowledge and all the experience
of the ages to aid him and with the expenditure of
one hundred thousand dollars Lieutenant Gorrnge
achieved successfully the remarkable task of bringing
"Cleopatras Needle" from Egypt to America in
fifteen months.

The Marvel of Antiquity

AND here stop and wonder just how much

this experience which the ages have handed down
Thirty-four hundred years ago this same piece of
granite quarried at Syene the first cataract
of the Nile The stone is hard that it cannot
be cut without turning the best modern steel chsels
and it is doubtful if the steam saving of the present
day could produce in ten years single obelisk such
the Pharaohs set up by dozens. After it had been
quarred this obelisk carried six hundred
miles down the Nile and erected at the Temple of
Heopolis to bear testimony to the glory of King
Thothmes III. Here it remained until the coming
of the Romans, when in the eighth year of the reign
of Augustus Caesar it removed to Alexandria to
grace the triumph and symbolic the supremacy of
the Caesars.
History tells practically nothing to how these
huge monoths quarried finished, trans
ported yet what proved so difficult undertaking
for the engineers of England, France, and America
was accomplished ages ago by nearly every nation
that conquered the East After the overthrow of
the Egyptians Sardanapalus carried obelisk
fifteen hundred miles to Nineveh; the early Roman
Emperors took away with them many fifteen,
twelve of which remain in Italy; and Constan-
tine secured two for Byzantum. Not only the
transportation of these huge OF granite COM

disaster. The caisson with the obelisk inclosed
abandoned in mid ocean and later picked
up and towed to England by some adven-
turers, who received some twenty-five hundred
dollars for their work.
Departing from these precedents, Lieutenant Cor

power. For this purpose he procured vessel, and

steel cables, and hydraulic jacks the block was safely
lowered to the ground.
1t had been the original intention to transport the
obeisk land to the Government dock. The
distance was less than mile, and for the most part
the route comparatively unrequented
streets. An iron truss cradle moving cannon
balls instead of wheels, in channel irons instead of
ordinary rail, had been brought to Egypt for
the purpose. At the last moment however, the
foreign merchants of Alexandria feared that the
tremendous weight might crush the sewers, and
refused to give the necessary permission. Guar
antees of repairing all damage done were of no
avail, and the transporting cradle thrown
away, and the dangerous method of sea transport in

miles was the only resource. To
clear a path to the sea shore ex-
pert divers were employed. Then
with the aid of more mathematics
and modern ingenuity the obelisk
was lowered into the caisson and
placed on the launching ways and
slowly dragged out into deep water.
In removing his gift to Paris fifty
years before, Louis Philippe used
specially constructed craft, and the
undertaking cost his Government
five hundred thousand dollars. The
British engineers, with view to
profiting by this experience, built a
vehicle around their obelisk that
could float it, and it could be towed
by steamer so arranged as TO give the

IN 1870 Isnail, Khedive of Egypt,

rulers of Egypt had made similar
offers to the Governments of London
and Paris, and it had taken the former
seventy-five years and the latter
twenty-five to arrive at the point of

Ismails offer may have been prompted
by sincere desire to show his good
will toward America; but it is doubt
full if he thought for a moment that
another of his sacred antiquities would
be removed before at least century

who was scratch made 80 for the two
rounds, and was tied by Walker and
Frank Halstead who had a handicap
of two and five respectively. The deed
of gift of this cup makes it necessary
to be won three times by the same per-

than once. The chances are that the
