days covering the result OF our in
vestigaticns into agricultural condi-
tons in italy as affecting immigra-
tor.
From Italy we proceeded to Genoa
at which point we spent day and
night, and from Genoa we went to
A1arseilles, France. We spent two
days here, making in the meantime a
trip about 75 miles in the country to
look at some of the farms, On this
trip we went to ST. Remy, a village in
the center Of what is probably the
greatest seed growing section in the
world. Here the soil. climate, ETC.,
ali combine TO grow flowers and veg
etables Of almost all kinds to the
highest state Of perfection, and the
seeds grown here are shipped to all
parts of the world. 1t is a very pros
porous section, and there IS naturally
no. emigration.
Leaving Marseilles Monday morn
ing we came to Geneva, by way OF
Lyons and up the beautiful valley Of
the Rhone river We will remain here
for two or three days in order to write
our reports and then proceed north
ward. I will try to send letters con-
cerning our trip as often as possible.

BISHOP CApERs IMPROVING.
Now Well Enough to be Lifted to a
Chair.

Greenville, July 19.-Mr. F. F. Ca
pers, son Of Bishop Ellison Capers, re-
turned to Greenville this afternoon
from Cedar Mountain, where the
Bishop lies i'll. He says the bishop
was sitting up when he left summer
home. this being the third day he has
been lifted from his bed and placed in
chair, where he sits for an hour or
two each day.
Although still quite weak the Bish-
ops voice and general condition is
stronger. His sight is improving daily.
and the paralysis in his mouth and
tongue is gradually passing off. AS
yet the paralysis Of his left leg and
arm is complete, and his physicians
have little hope so far as this aff1ic-
ton goes.
Mr.. Frank Capers left his brother,
John c. Capers, at Cedar Mountain
and the latter will remain with tbs
Bishop for ten days or two weeks
The Rev A. r. Mitchell, rector OF
Christ Church, this city. will go up to
Cedar Mountain on Monday to assist
in nursing Bishop Capers
Through his trial and affection the
Bishop has maintained his cheerful
disposition. He is most hopeful that
he Will soon be able to again take VI
his work.

The mayor of the town stated that
there was practically no emigration
from this section but that the de-
,nand for labor was such that the town
was constantly drawing on the sur
rounding country for additional Ia
Dor Of various kinds. He thinks the
mill operatives here would be desira-

but that the mill managers would
doubtless resist in every way any at

METROPOLITAN
IS THE FEATURE
Of Race Program to Be Started
in New York Tomorrow
Jamaica Meet Closes.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, May S.-Tomorrow will
be opening day for the ponies at Bel
mont park, with the $4,000 metropoli-
tan handicap as the inaugural feat
ure Of the nine days of sport arranged
by the Rochester Racing association.
The Jamaica meet. which has been
in progress for the last eleven days,
closed this afternoon. While the Met
ropolitan has never made such big
noise in racing circles as the Sub
urban, Brooklyn and Brighton handi-
caps. 1t has constantly increased in
interest and Importance and will like
ly draw an exceptionally big, early
season crowd. The field this year is
much better than last, when John A.
brakes Grapple, a. good selling
platter, ran away with the big end of
the purse. All of the best milers in
training are eligible to start in to-
morrow's race, together with bunch
OF promising three-year-olds. and a
classy field is certain.
Among the future bookies Roseben
has been made favorite, with Ac-
countant, who carries top weight of
1876 pounds, a close second. Roseben
is to carry 1874 pounds. DR.. Gardner,
who is regarded by many dopesters
as a likely winner. is to carry 100
pounds. Sullivan's colt is good for the
distance, able to pack the weight and
should be well up in front at the
finish. Grapple, last seasons winner,
has been assigned 112 pounds and will
be backed fly many horsemen, al
though 1t is unlikely that the platter
will repeat. Other favorites among
the early betters include Dandelion,
Gloritier, Dishabille. Whimsical, Neal
on, Oxford and Okenite. Tanya has
been entered by H. P. Whitney, who
expects the famous mare to give a
good account of herself. Western
horsemen think Hope Laudeman has
a dark horse in Hot Teddy.

BURNS AND 0'BR|EN
Battle This Evening at Los
Angeles-Purse of $4,000
is Up.

Los Angeles, CAL, May S.-There is
every prospect of a royal battle when
Tommy Burns and Jack O'Brien meet
in the ring Of the Pacific Athletic
club tonight to fight for the purse
of 100000 offered by Manager Nc
Carey and the title of heavyweight
champion. Since their bout on
Thanksgiving eve, both men have
been dreaming and scheming for an
other meeting, at which the question
of superiority might be definitely de-
cided. and it is certain that both will
put up the big scrap of. their lives.
The men have been training hard for
the event and will enter the ring in
good condition. The training stunts
of Burns have been planned with the
end in view of enabling him to corner
the shifty Philadelphia and have it
out with him, give and take. Foot
work, one of O'Brien's strong points,
will likely play a prominent part in
his ring campaign for the champion
ship. Unless Burns should succeed
in landing another haymaker blow
such as the one that made the Phila-
delphian groggy in the fifth round of
the previous Burns-O'B rien bout, the
fight will almost certainly go the limit
of twenty rounds, as it is highly un-
likely that O'Brien possesses punch
sufficient to send Tommy down for
the count.
With thousands of Fiesta visitors
and Shriners in the city it is certain
that the battle will be witnessed by
tremendous crowd, Manager McCarey
estimating the total receipts at over
$4,000. About 5000 people can be
seated in the pavilion and it is prac-
tically assured that every available
seat will be sold. Several ringside
boxes have just been constructed and
seats in these sell at $50, this being
the top price. Of the chair seats, the
first sections are held at $40 and the
others at $40 each. Admission TO
the gallery will be at the rate of S.
head and no tickets will be placed
on sale until tonight.

Portsmouth, Berkeley, Port Norfolk,
Hampton, Newport News and the sum-
mer resorts of Ocean View, Pine Beach
and Willoughly Spit. These are prac-
tically all one city and all are on the
water. The entire population is es-
timated at 100000 and almost every
foot Of the ground is historic.
The exposition grounds are beauti-
fully located, looking toward the
Roads,"
Looking from the North Dakota
building you can see thirty-two Am
erican battleships of all classes and
nine foreign ones. At night they are
Illuminated with thousands of cleo
trio lights. These are arranged in
such a manner that they form a pic
ture of the ships traced in lines of
lights. It was, without doubt, the
greatest display ever held in the his
tory of the world, and the hundreds of
excursion boats all lit up with search
lights and the bands playing and
sounding across the waters. one could
scarcely believe that less than forty
five years ago this history spot was
the scene Of one of the greatest naval
duels ever fought.
The saluting of this great array of
ships to the president as he wended
his way through these monsters of
war, which cost over 100000. 900, and
weighed millions of tons, was some
thing never to be forgotten.
The exposition grounds are not
wholly completed and will not be so
until about June 1. 1t Is now further
advanced than any previous EXPOSE
ton. All of the large buildings are
completed and the smaller ones are
being pushed as fast as possible.
1t is estimated that there are Is, 900
employees on the grounds and this
vast army of workmen can work won
ders in thirty days. The exhibits are
being installed as fast as possible and
there are estimated to be 200 carloads
in the grounds.
The government exhibits are entire
ly installed and are the greatest ever
shown by this, or any other govern
ment.
This exposition can be compared
with that Of Buffalo, although that,
nor any other exposition, has not had
the superb location. and with the naval
and military part of it, If will surpass
any IuluS ever uclu. AuOLuST IedIuFc
are the state buildings which are per-
manent structures and all are facing
Hampton Roads. Still another are the
parade grounds which are the largest
in the world. The government has
spent $1,250,000 in permanent build
ings and the midway. or warpath, with
its myraids of attractions. will COM
pare favorably with those of St. Louis
and Chicago.
The army and navy troops are as
thick as bees.
The opening day, President Roose-
welt and most of his cabinet and the
entire foreign legation. which inclures
ambassadors from all over the world,
were present and with Gen. F.. D.
Grant, reviewed the thousands
of troops as they passed the
grandstand. They moved like
SO many vast machines, SO per-
feet was the marching. After
the parade there was ball. The
brilliant colors of the uniforms of the
officers, the many colored faces of the
foreigners, and the dazzling beauty of
the ladies' gowns as they danced to
the music of four military bands, was
a sight of radiating beauty and color
that will never be forgotten.

After Disastrous Training Trip
in Wisconsin Bad Weather
Caused Trouble.

Duluth, Mimi, May S.-Frank H..
Smiley" Smith and the bunch of ball
players who expect to represent Du-
luth in the "Grasshopper" league dur
ing the coming season, arrived in Du-
luth over the Omaha road. They
were accompanied by A. W. Kuehnow,
who went to Eau Claire to see the
; two final games OF the series there.
Various considerations prompted Mr..
Kuehnow and Manager Smith to call
off the two games at La Crosse and
come direct to Duluth, where they
will begin to work out on their own
little lot in the west end.
The men who arrived are in fairly
good shape, and Smith says he ex-
poets to have them in fine condition
by the time the season opens. Cold
weather encountered on the trip de-
layed the conditioning of the men,
but with week of good weather
here. they expect to go into the open
ing game in shape as completed
team.
The last game of the Eau Claire
series resulted in the White Sox be-
ing badly beaten. 10 to 0.

COM. EvERHART IN
CHARGE ! OF THE PLACE
And Hearty Welcome is in
Store For Those Who Go
to Virginia.
COM. EVERHART IN
CHARGE OF THE PLACE

Writing from the jamestown expo
sition. a North Dakotan says:
The first place to which North
Dakota visitor hurries when he strik-
es the jamestown exposition is the
North Dakota building, where the
genial countenance Of C. A. Everhart,
the former Fargoan, the North Dako-
ia commissioner, is always in evil
dence.
The North Dakota building is en-
tirely completed and was the first
state building to be opened with the
exposition. 1t was erected by Com
missioner Everhart last fall. It con-
tains reception room 1896, nicely
furnished and has porch Nm front
the same size, where visitors can sit
and enjoy the scenes. There have
already been a lot of northwestern
visitors. many from Minnesota and
Wisconsin and few from South Da-
kota and North Dakota.
Commissioner Everhart and his
family reside in the balance of the
building and will spend the entire
summer on the exposition grounds.
The appointment of Mr.. Everhart as
commissioner gives him a lot of
prominence and enables him and his
family an opportunity to be strictly
in the swim and meet all the dignita-
ries. The commissioner represents
North Dakota in a manner that will
please the flickertail visitors, who
are always given a cordial welcome.
The commissioner and Mrs. Ever
hart were recently the guests OF the
Virginia governor on private yacht
trip to old jamestown and Yorktown,
where the first English settlements
were made in 1907. and which event is
being celebrated b ythe exposition.
Commissioner Everhart says he in
tends to do the best for North Dakota
that he can without an appropriation.
He will keep all newspapers on file,
distribute pamphlets and other North
Dakota matter sent prepaid and will
be glad to have visiting North Dako-
tans send their mail in care of the
North Dakota building.
