Editor Advertiser: Since writing
feWA remarks upon flying kites, I have
found quite number of persons quite
interested in this subject and one
friend suggests that we form a kite
club. He, I may say, has made quite
number of kites, and among these
box kite. and finds as much pleasure
in making them as in flying them He
also suggests that a day be set apart
for regular field day, to which every
body be invited to bring their kite.
And he thinks that Punchbowl would
be an ideal place for the meeting. 1t
would certainly be a fine sight to see
dozens of kites, of various designs and
shapes, flying there where every one
could see them. Speaking of kites, it
seems strange that there is not to be
found in this city a single place where
kites are for sale. l had supposed too
that every Chinanan could make
kite but find SUCH is not the case In
deed | had quite q job to find anyone
that knew anything about them Most
of them when spoken to about them
looked in open-eyed wonder, as if it
was a subject quite outside of their
thoughts. But at last / found a man
that knew another man that could
make them. And he, 1 think, was
postmaster in the art. / also think 1t
strange that so few boys learn to make
and fly kites. And will say, that in

I have seen but one boy that was try

MORE ABOUT THE
YAWL'S NAVIGATOR

Leverett H Mesick. who used to edit
the Hawaiian, threw some light yes
terday on Captain L. B. Harris. who
will navigate the yawl Lady Maud in
the Transpacific cup race.
capt. Harris said Mesick yester-
day, used to own the schooner Emma
and Louisa and must have made his
first and only trip to Hawaii in the
early. part of 1898, for on May IA, 1898,
the Hawaiian published a clipping
from the San Diego Union Of April 10
of chat year, to the effect that Capt.
Harris and the schooner would soon
leave for Honolulu, taking load Of
hay and grain and bringing back ba-
nanas, coffee and other island prod
ucts
The first trip appears to have been
a financial failure because the cargo,
island bananas, was condemned as
having mealy bugs, though the San
Diego paper went on to say that ba-
nanas were never before condemned at
any port on the Pacific Coast"

THE TEMPLE.

One OF the most elaborate novelties
presented In the Temple theater for
some time was provided the patrons
OF that house Monday afternoon by
"The Gainsboro Girl" whose real
name Is Marie Lecea Brakeman. This
Is singing novelty In three scenes In
which IL shown the famous Duchess
of Devonshire, Narguerite's Garden
and the Eternal City. Miss BRAKEMAN
bears a strong resemblance to the
Duchess OF Devonshire, and as The
Gainsboro Girl" she represents the
famous picture stolen from London a
number OF years ago and recently re-
covered. The stage settings are beau
tiful, Miss Brackman's voice Is OF I'M
usual power and range and she won
the enthusiastic admiration OF her
audience even before the close OF her
first number. Her voice is command
ing and loses none OF its beauty In the
highest ranges of song The fact that
vaudeville appreciates the best In
music was evidenced by the reception
given The Gainesboro Girl Her rem
dition OF the Faust music was espe-
cially fine.
The program Is principally a musical
one this week. Emma Carus won her
way into the favor OF the audience
with her pleasing voice, and her dash
ing, breezy style. She sings the pop
ular and coon songs In the way that
pleases. Laddie CHI, the English boy
comedian. was another feature OF the
bill and pleased the audience with HIS
grotesque dancing and singing. While
the humor In his songs may please In
the average English music hal, ~ Is
not just the sort that driyes Detroit

The visitor is only one OF those who
have an imaginative idea of what the
cloak room is like. 1t Is doubtful
whether half dozen people outside
of those. who live In Washington, or
who havA been here in a more or less
intimate capacity have ever seen the
cloak room.
The reality Is much different from
the imagined. The cloak rooms, as all
who have seen them know, are fur

comfort. They are good places to
lounge about and tell stories--that's
why so many stories are hung" on

INTEREST GROWS IN
CARUSO'S COMING

AS the date OF the Caruso concert
grows nearer the enthusiasm and In
terest in the appearance of the great
singer grows. The great tenor open
ed his concert tour in Columbus last
Friday evening. and the accounts in
the papers OF that city vary from one
to three columns, indicating the furore
which the famous Italian created. The
Columbus Press-Post says:
"Tbe half has never been told OF
Caruso's voice, and we're every super
letive taken from the dictionary, an
effort to describe his greatness would
fall short. There is no limit TO his
rover. Those mighty. thunderous
tones. thrilled the heart and called
forth the most deafening applause"
And every Columbus critic echoed
the sentiment thus expressed. That
the assisting artists are also above
the ordinary was the unanimous opin-
ion of the reviewers, each OF the ar
lists being accorded considerable
praise. Caruso and his party appear
ed In Toronto Monday evening, and
leave that city this morning, arriving
In Detroit at 1888 p. m. They viii. be
ouartered at the Hotel Pontchartrain.
A large and fashionable audience Is
