sand OF the townspeople we're guests on
the Minnesota at farewell reception last
night, when the decorations of the ship
surpassed anything in the history of the
navy. Rear Admirals Thomas, Sperry
and Emory and the officers received the
visitors. This was the climax to the
splendid reception here of the fleet which
will review the ships. 1t is estimated
$5OO.00O has been spent ashore. and coal
costing $4,000 has been taken aboard.
The torpedo flotilla will be received by
Argentine torpedo boats and escorted to
Buenos Aires. The battIeships will be
met on the circle of Capricorn by the
Argentine division. which will be at
Ba hia Blanca to saute the ships.
The beginnings of aerial navigation by
the navy may be accomplished In Mag

Men Acted Well.
"Our welcome here was the greatest Of
the kind ever saw, not only because OF
the warmth of the reception, but because
the behavior of the men shows the ad-
vance made by the service. Twenty years
ago such a tranquil exchange of amen
tiles would have been impossible The
exemplary conduct Is due to difference of
character of the men and difference in
training. l believe In giving the men
plenty Of liberty. 1 hope the law soon
will be amended to substitute light money
fines for deprivation of liberty as a pun

ELECTION OF CURZON
SEAT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS
MAY BE CONTESTED.

DUBLIN. January 22-The Dublin Ca
zette. an official paper in announcing last
night the fact that Lord Curzon of Ke-
dleSton received majority OF the votes
at the recent election for representative
peer of Ireland. studiously refuses to COM
NIT itself to the statement that he has
been elected. and apparently recognizes
the possibility of a contest by placing on
second iii the race.
Leaves Way for Contest.
The Gazette goes SO far as to point out
that Lord Curzon's name does not ap-
pear 10 lie with those qualified to vote on
such occasions. The text of the announce
ment. i'm part. is as follows:
Baron Curzon of kedleston aas been
chosen by a ma iority of votes 10 be a
peer to sit and vote on the part of Ire
land in the house of lords. and whereas
the name Of the said Baron Curzon of
Kedlesten is not upon the roll of peers
OF Ireland whose right to vote at the
election of representative peers for Ire
land has been certified by the directions
OF the house Of lords as having been
admitted to the house of lords, | here
by give notice that Baron Ashtown,
whose name is upon the aforesaid roll OF
peers of Ireland. has received the next
highest number of votes at the said cleo
ton"
Voting Very Close.
Following precedent. no figures are
given. but it is asserted that the voting
was very close and that the former vice
roy Of India won by only narrow ma
jority over Lord Ashtown, whose hunting
lodge at Clonmel was blown up by peas
ants last summer.
II had been suggested that the eligibil-
ity of Lord Curzon to this Office possibly
would be questioned, but at the time his
candidacy was first launched he an
nounced that he had taken a high legal
opinion on this point. He asserted last
night that his failure to qualify for ad-
mission to the roll of Irish peers was
due to a technical omission. to which his
attention had not been called. and that
this in no way debarred him from eiec-
ton as a representative peer.

seuinninussof Baseball

The history of the American game
dates from the first National Associa-
ton Of Baseball in New York in 1853.
The first series of important match
games was played between picked
mines of Brooklyn and New York. at
Flushing. in the same year. Nearly
1000 perSons-a large crowd for those
.days-paid their so cents a head to see
the contest. The rules of baseball we're,
very crude in those days. The pitchers
position was ~sImply-limited TO a twelve
foot line forty-fye feet from the home
base. behind which he could take any
number of slips he wished. All he
was required to do was to pitch the
ball as near as possible over the home
base. There -Was-no=penaltyfeE~Ad
pitching or for refusing to strike at
fair balls. 1 once saw a pitcher de-
liver sixty balls to a single batsman IN
one inning before there was a strike.
Not until 1870 We're there any para
phernalia for defense. Old time catch
ers' hands were a sight. with their
cracked joints and bruised palms.

bowling on all occasions of great Joy
was general among the early inhabit-

says. are also shed by the natives of
