EXPOSITION Is A
MARVELLOUS PANORAMA

Norfolk, Va. May 2S.-The James
town Exposition in its splendid pano-
rama of our marvellous history has
unfolded to the world a tale more
wonderful and inspiring than any 9TH
er in the annals of man. In spite of
handicaps such as no other exposition
management mas had to deal with, the
men whose Imagination, enterprise,
and public spirit conceived the big
show at Norfolk have wrought well
and are deserving of high praise for
their achievement. The exposition
was projected upon broad lines, and
the multitudes of disbursements
which have from the beginning beset
the managers nave not daunted their
courage or curbed their energies.
They have accomplished more with
the available capital at their disposal
than can justly be claimed to the
credit of the managers of other of our
recent international expositions. While
in some of its strictly structural as
poets the exposition has not yet attain
ed perfection. it is as nearly complete
in that more or less negligible regard
as were any of its predecessors at the
corresponding period of existence, and
in this respect it is distinctly far
ahead of the ST. Louis Exposition,
whose management had to postpone
for a full year its formal opening be-
cause of its inability to bring the ex-
hibition up to promise
The Virginiaas have asked no spec
ial favors from any quarter. They
have worked out their problem with
commendable and characteristic ear
nestness and zeal. They deserve ere

factious raillery for what tney have
done Their show commends itself
to the consideration and patronage of
the whole country A visit there ear

Bachelors are divided into two clas-

estingly of the plans Carlsbad is max
ing for the big irrigation celebration
July 3, and s. Among other things
he said:
while 1 am interested in the
whole celebration and every phase
| of it, l am especially interested in
the three days race meeting that
will be held in conjunction with the
other festivities. We are making elab-
crate plans to have plenty of good
| racing material there. While here to-
day I made arrangements for several
| good horses to be taken there at
once for training.
George Wilson will leave Roswell
| Tuesday with the following string of
track stuff: J. B. Trotter's two-year-
old PAGER, Otto Hedgcoxe's two-year-
old PAGER, George Wilson's four-year-
old pacing mare. and W. M. Atkin-
sons pacing colt. Later Jim
Manning's two-year-old PAGER and
Tom Caruthers' two-year-old will be
sent down, and probably Clarence
Ullery's two-year-old PAGER.
When Wilson reaches Carlsbad
he will train these horses and will al
so train my pacing stallion. I am
sending a speed cart along with a
bunch of horses for training purposes
Charles B. Williams, the trainer, will
come later.
''Artesia will have an alfalfa pal
ace, in which will be stored its ex-
hibit.
''R. E. Muncy will come down with
his big autobus.

All the hotels are providing immense
tents. 1 have one as an annex to The
Schlitz that is forty by eighty feet.
The public amusements will be
plentiful. We have already Ftarted up
a skating rink and public dance hall.
In general as to Carlsbad's wei
fare, 1 might say that Carlsbad had
fine rain the other day, and that
everybody has all the water they
want from the water plant. Some peo-
pie who did not think they would
get water this year and did not pre-
pare for crop, are now getting their
land in shape as rapidly as possible.
Peaches are getting ripe. There is
one tree in the yard at The Schlitz,
an early variety, on which the fruit
