seemed to have been that something
would happen to prevent the final pas
sage of the bills. The result had been
so close before and there had passed
so long a period of time between the
first vote and that of today that they
appeared to be sure that the whole
matter had been taken care Of"
The question which arose Immediate
ly following the announcement of the
vote on the bills was "what will be the
effect OF racing in the Metropolitan
district" To those most deeply inter-
ested this is a momentous question in
deed, as the season is yet young and
everal of the larger and more import
ant stake events of the year are still
to be run These include the Suburban
handicap ard the Futurity. It was
generally believed that despite the
death of the Percy Gray law that rae
ing should be continued, but still the
decision of the race track owners and
managers. on this point was awaited
with eager interest.

n Marching Of Troops Is
-.
Watched With Interest.
Gen. Grant Trying an Expert.
ment on Scientific Basis.
Availability Of Auto For War Pur.
poses to Be Tested.

New York, June .11-Unless some
thing goes wrong in the calculations of
General Frederick d. Grant between
now and next Saturday noon. the 5000
soldiers Of the regular army under his
command who are marching from
every point of the compass toward the
village Of DeFeriats, jefferson county,
N. Y, will perform a military feat I'M
paralleled in the history Of the Ameri-
can army. .
When General Grant announced that
he intended to march 10 detachments
Of meE from points hundreds of miles
apart and have them meet at COM
mon center within three hours of one
another, military men of experience
were inclined to say it could not be
done. After looking over the tele-
graphic reports from the commanding
officers of the 10 detachments, General
Grant stated that he fully expected to
have all of his troops arrive at the big
camp at Pine Plains within one hour
of the time set, which is next Satur-
day noon.
This effort to reduce the marching
of troops to a scientific basis is only
one of the interesting features of the
annual maneuvres of the department
of the East, which are to be held at
Pine Plains. a 12-mile square tract OF
land in jefferson county. More than
$1,000 soldiers, regulars and militia will
participate. r."
One of the important problems which
the war department will try to worl,
out will be the availability of the au-
tomobile for military purposes. To this
end three officers started early this
morning from the Governors Island
ferry to make the run to Pine Plains
in an automobile and the same car
with possibly others, will be USED
throughout the maneuvres, thus under
going thorough test under bott
camp and campaign conditions.
Lieut. Col. Edwin F. Glenn of the
23d Infantry, Capt. William T. John.
son and Major Charles G. Woodruff
WHO will be the chief sanitary officers
of the camp, are making the automo
| bile trip to Pine Plains. They expect
| to reach Albany tonight and tomorrow
at daybreak to start on the 110-milt
trip from the state capital to the camp
arriving there tomorrow night. Genera
Grant left for camp tonight.

If there is any Wrangell capitalist who wishes to invest few thousand dollars in pulp mill, write him letter.

The election of Gen. Clement A.
Evans, of Atlanta, to succeed the late
Gen. Stephen d. Lee as commander
in-chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, is very pleasing to his
friends in this section. Gen. Evans
was here to attend Gen. Lees funeral
and the eloquent Grafton which he
delivered on that occasion made a
forcible impression upon all who
heard it, and convinced them that he
possesses oratorical and intellectual
gifts which are the heritage of few
men. While advanced in years. Gen.
Evans is still vigorous, both in mind
and body, and is in every way quali-
fed to discharge the duties of the
exalted position which he has been
selected to fill.

MY DowN soUTH IN pIxIE.

The New York World is right
when it says concerning the famous
song of the South:
In thinking that the old words
cinnamon seed and sandy bottom
and the rest-are not good enough,
the ladies are mistaken. What set
pixie" going, what made Lincoln
call it the best song of the war, what
makes New York's theatre and res
taurant audiences thrill with it,
though they may never have been
further South than Atlantic City, is
its spirit. The words have .tgo." By
the memory of the lips that have
sung them they should be protected
from change Only SO can the song
retain it's history and its sentiment.
The Dixie of the sixties should
not be changed either in word or
note. What was good and inspiring
throughout the bravest war of all
times is better now, for every word
and every note in it is full of memo
ries dear to every Southern heart.
No. the old song must must not be
changed. 1t is popular in every Sec
ton of the country now, and the
time may come when it will be rec
ognized as the National ballad.-Bir-
mingham Age-Herald.
