bles were prepared. Even the roller
coaster was deserted in favor of the
banquet. And how they did eat Foul
hundred loaves of bread, twelve hams,
twelve tongues, twenty bottles of
pickles, fifty watermelons, 162 cakes,
thirty gallons of ice cream and a dozen
buckets of candy were among the pro-
visions provided for the hungry army
of kids, but when they finished the
evening meal a sparrow would have
made but scant meal from the frag-
ments
Everybody at the resort gathered
around the tables while the children
We're being fed to see the kids enjoy
themselves. Even the employees of the
resort joined in the fun, and there was
a spirited argument as to which
yOungster would last the longest in
the contest against his heaping plate.
George Johnson. the one young gentle
man of color present, violated every
tradition of his race by refusing TO eat
watermelon in spite of constant urg-
ing, but George more than made up
for his dereliction by the way he
handled the ham sandwiches and the
cake. He certainly was fond OF ham.
After the evening meal a dozen gen.
tliemen gathered up a party of kids
and invaded every concession at Salt
air. Screaming carloads shot down the
inclines OF the roller coaster, every
horse on the merry gO-round had two
and sometimes three riders, and
crowds of youngsters who had had
their weights guessed boosted that they
weighed ''mOre'n fifty pounds" At 7:20
they were all loaded onto the cars. and
upon reaching the city were again taken
home in automobiles. Every face was
dirty, every stomach full and every
heart was happy. II was great day

Avenues.

Claims for damages aggregating $4,000
for the change of grade on Second and
Third avenues between Canyon road and
A street are now before the council for
adjudication.
The finance committee has shown no
disposition to settle these claims, pre-
ferring TO allow the property owners to
bring suit This has been done in a
number of instances and the matter is
now up to the city attorney.
The attorneys department is really up
against It" as far as these suits are con-
cerned as in the supreme court decision
on the North Main street grade cases,
handed down a year ago, the city has not
a leg to stand on. Despite this. no eff
fort is being made TO settle. and the
amount of damages that must be paid
will be left to jury.
Much criticism of the engineering de-
partment and the engineering committee
of the council has been aroused by the
deep cuts on the streets mentioned.

IN THE PORT

Completing Two Thirds Of Its Trip Around the World the
American Fleet Reaches Island Capital
"A Successful Cruise
IBv Associated Press. l

Manila. P. l., Oct. Fresh from
| their triumphant reception in Aus
tralian ports and with their cruise
around the world two-thirds accom-
plished the sixteen battleships of
the American fleet which sailed from
Hampton Roads last December are
anchored in double column tonight
off the breakwater close to the Lu-
meta, where a splendid view of the
warships was obtainable during the
day.
During the late afternoon and ear
ly evening, after the fleet had come
to anchor, thousands of residents of
the islands crowded every available
spot commanding n view of the an
chorage.
Following a conference of some
length between the officers of the
fleet and Admiral Sperry. orders were
issued that nothing should be taken
aboard from the snore pending fur
ther consideration of the epidemic of
cholera in Manila.
Shore leave will be granted to Of
ficers of the vessels, providing they
return by 10 pm. and careful in
structions have been issued regarding
their conduct ashore in order to
guard against the remotest danger
of bringing contagion aboard the
vessels of the fleet.
In discussing the long cruise with
correspondents who boarded the flag
ship Connecticut this evening. Ad-
miral Sperry declared that. since the
warships had been thrown upon
their own resources, without the con-
venience and support of navy yard,
the efficiency of the ships had great
ly increased.
This. he said, was particularly
true of the engineering department;
but the symmetrical development of
the entire fleet had steadily in
creased with the repetition of drills
and the additional experience of
handling the ships under conditions
of all kinds.

COAL YARD
Is ON FIRE

The Stokes coal yards on Twelfth
and South streets were accidentally
set on fire this afternoon at about
5 o'clock.
The fire team made a quick run,
but were helpless after arriving, as
there were no water plugs within
a quarter of mile of the blaze.
Four horses were in the yard at
the time; but, as far as could be
learned, all were gotten out in safe
ty.
About two hundred tons of coal
are a-fire, and all will be lost. The
loss will exceed $1,000. No insur-
ance is carried.
Hundreds of people are out watch
ing the big blaze.
No other buildings are near, so the
fire will be confined to the coal
yards.
Either sparks from an engine or a
carelessly dropped match in all prob
ability started the fire.
The high wind blowing this after
noon made it almost impossible to
fight the fire.
Some cartridges in the office of the
yards exploded and created much ex-
citement shortly after the fire was
discovered.
