 Knowing that it would be interest," ing to the flower growers to hear from Mrs. Reges in her new home, Los An geles, we copy the following. The season Is not as advanced here as it is In Montgomery. It has been snow ing on the mountains near and the weather is so cool that unless you are beneath the suns rays 1t is uncomfort- able. Unfortunately our apartments are on the north side.
 The flowers here are very beautiful but most of them are grown by the florists. have seen but one rose bush that surpassed yours, that was mag nificent White Cochet."

 A Natural Flower Garden.
 It may interest the flower lovers of Montgomery to know that within ten miles of our city nature has made landscape garden that king might envy. Here, beneath the shade of giant willow oaks whose evergreen boughs give a tone of perpetual summer to the scene, grow many rare and beau- tiful things that you might seek for in vain through the most carefully cul- tivated grounds.
 Through this Eden, like the one of old. flow refreshing streams to water the garden. A beautiful. clear creek wanders through the midst. enlarging here and there into quiet pools where the water lilies make their home. Three little spring branches come trickling down to join the main stream through miniature ravines that each has cut for itself. and along which they come ripping in tiny waterfalls over

The opening of the Riverside Base

Aala Park, was witnessed by one of
the largest crowds that ever saw base

Promptly at 1:30 p. m, the officials
of the league and the presidents of

Palama A. c.. first-base; W. Tin
Chong. second-base and John w. Aka,
ma, president of the Chinese Aloha
Club. third-base. Vice President A K.
Vierra, was the batter for the occasion.
The first BAH pitched resulted in a
foul. vierra sending a liner outside of
the first-base line The second resulted
in a strike and this ended the opening

There were two games played, the
first between the Palama A. c., the

hitting Pitcher Paaluhi's ball all over
the field. Chas. Makanui and Capt n.
K. Hoopii, the two left-handers, did
the best work in this line. The other
innings were all well played. Joseph
LeaI, the new manager of the kaalas,
is confident from the showing made
by his boys yesterday, of winning the
years trophy.
The second game between the Japa-
nese A. c. and the Chinese Alohas was
real baseball all through. The little
brown men played such fine ball, that
everyone present expected them to win
the game until the ninth inning. Both
Jack Flores and Ho Yup, the two
twirlers, the former for the Nipponese
and the latter for the Chinese team,
pitched winning ball.
In the first inning, Flores began with
a two-bagger TO leftfield for the Japa-
nese nine: Motley died on fly to
English in leftfeld. Ross scored the
second two-base hit but Flores was put
out in trying to get home on this play.
Kaipo hit safe to third and advanced
Ross TO that base. Piekard also seor-
ed a hit and sent Ross home with the
first run. Maruyama closed the in
ming by a fly to Ayau at short. The
AloFas didn't score in this inning. Nc
Shane was struck out. English, one
of the coming players of this league,
got a hit over third-base. Ayau went
out from third to first and Akana
struck out.
The game was closely contested all
through. with the japanese leading up
to the last inning, when the score stood
to in their favor. Ayau was given
a pass to first and Akana became the
hero of the day by a three-bagger to
leftfeld, which sent Ayau home and
tied the score. A passed ball allowed
Akana to score the winning run.

The Huntsman Kaiser.

Among the many trials that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has had to bear is the
accusation that he resembles the En-
peror of Germany. The fondness Of
both for hunting has been pointed out
as an example of the "Reminiscences Of
the President and the Kaiser. Stalls
tics have recently been published
which cast light upon the hunting
achievements OF William II. They
make Theodore Roosevelt's occasional
excursions In search Of well-deserved
rest and a few grizzly bears seem Sun
day school plcnics In comparison. They
put the strenuous occupant OF the
White House forever In the class OF
milksops and mollycoddles.
The official statistician to the hunts
man Kaiser reports that his majesty
has bagged a total of 47,514 pieces Of
game in a period Of thirty years. Over
eighteen thousand pheasants were as
sasinated, and seventeen thousand
hares were cut Off in their prime. One
can go on down the list of boars, rab-
bits, stays, etc, until there seems to
be scarcely a variety of bird or beast
that has escaped the imperial bullet.
The emperor even invaded the realms
of Neptune, for we are told that one
lone, solitary whale persisted In su-
preme honor and agony. On one short
winters day the Kaiser, unaided, shot
1858 pheasants.
This is not the annual report OF q
Chicago meat-packing establishment,
but q record of imperial achievement.
In support Of 1t, the London Magazine
reproduces photographs Of the royal
nimrod picturesquely surrounded by
deceased animals. We are shown boars
about to depart this life, and stays
which are PROSTATE in the imperial
presence. "A cat may look at a king -
