With the aid of imagination some
fairly adequate idea of ancient splen-
doris may be formed. Magnificent
chariots drawn by Arabian stations,
herds of elephants and camels carry
ing Bikners, warriors in chain armor,
sacred cattle and carts of golden
plush, bullocks covered by silver
trappings, odd conveyances harnessed
to elephants, camel teams and ma
Cives direct from India, all take part
in this production. Howe's Great
London Shows carry large amount
Of live stock. Over two hundred
horses have to be cared for every
day. 1t takes tons of provender to
feed them and the menagerie. The
animals of the menagerie are gen
orally of the most interest. The
hardest and longest lived and most
intelligent is said to be the elephant.
Some of the largest of this show
are used to push the heavy wagons
and cages about the lot when the
show is setting up. One morning an
elephant became enraged at his dri-
yer and wheeled quickly and struck
at the man with his trunk. The
beady eyes of the animal glistened as
he trumpeted his anger. The keeper
lashed the big brute with his whip
and subdued him without any dam
age being done. Had the man been
hit hy the blow it would have killed
him. When an elephant gets so bad
that he is dangerous the owners have
the animal killed, although the kill
ing of an elephant means a loss of
several thousand dollars. Shows

a good-sized city. With the aggre-
! cation is a blacksmith, a barber,
harness maker, two painters, glider.
cooks, bakers, electricians, minis

lar family physician. Two exhibi-
tions are given daily, rain or shine,
and in case of inclement weather,
waterproof tents insure ample protec-
tion and comfort. The show will be

American skill, courage, persis-
tonoe and stamina have resulted in
ar great achievement after more
than three centuries of human effort
the reaching of the North Poel. The
attainment of this long-coveted goal
is reported to have been accomplished
by a Brooklyn man-Dr. Frederick
Albert Cook, on April 21, 1908. 1t
marks the accomplishment of hither-
to unparalleled feat. DR.. Cook has
covered himself with glory and he is
today receiving the congratulations
and the deserved adulation of the
people in the civilized world. And
they are all richly deserved, for the
United States flag has flown where
no other flag ever flew before. DR..
Cook, the successful Arctic explorer,
assures the universe that the North
Pole amounts to the size of 25
cent piece" and that it is surrounded
by "ice, ice, ice and no water" in
every direction. He planted the Star
-Spangled Banner on the spot and left
a brass tube containing a record.
Thus can other explorers verify his

NEW YORK, June 30.-Whatever anxi-

two arctic explorers who were wintering
on the extreme north coast of Alaska is
dispelled SO far as V. Stefansson, leader
OF the party. is concerned, by letter
from him to DIR. H. C. Bumpus, director
OF the museum.
Mr.. StefaHsson, writing February 8. at
Cape Smythe, near Point Barrow. the
northernmost point OF Alaska. says that
his assistant, DR.. r. A. Anderson, IS
somewhere in the mountains, but he be-
lieyes he Is safe. At the time the letter
to Dr. Bumpus was mailed Mr.. Stefans-
son sent him telegram. saying that he
and DR.. Anderson were not starving, but
could give no details of their struggles
through the winter in the brief message.
First Word Since Midwinter.
The communication received yesterday
IL the first detailed account which has
come through since midwinter. The last
letter before this was written in Septem-
Der of last year, and he says now that
he cannot get another letter through
before next September.
The telegram he sent in February
reached here about a month later, hav-
ing come to Nome by sledge thence by
wireless and the military telegraph line.

In another letter to a friend at Pleas

next winter, Mr.. Stefansson says that his
trip to his prospective winter quarters,
which he describes as some 500 or 9Oo
miles east of Colvile, near the mouth of
the Coppermne river. finds new interest
from the fact that Eskimos have told
him of middle-aged man and a woman
in one of the tribes living there who
have fair hair, thing hitherto unheard
of among Eskimos.
Now you know" he adds. "a pure
blooded Eskimo is as black haired and
as stiff haired as any Japanese. With

and with the lost Icelandic colonies of
Greenland in mind, the problem has in

When a student does not know the

will either try to blum 1t through or else
pass it off as a joke. These latter cases
are rare. and the result is generally pain

came across two such gems In one paper
recently. One question was: Who was
ST. Bruno?' To which the student re-
piled: st. Bruno was a great Dane,
brother of ST. Bernard The other ques-
ton was: What was the difference be-

And the score does not come within
shouting distance of telling the real story
of the game as played at American
League Park yesterday afternoon for the
benefit of the playground fund. 1t was
hair-raising proposition, that game. and
one that will go down into the history of
the two organizations as a notable, event.
There were features-marvelous stunts
of fielding or failure to field-in every
inning. There were accidents, kicks,
scraps and a changing of batteries and
shifting of fielders.
Committee Passes on Protests.
The game was scheduled to begin al 4
o'clock, but it was some time past that
hour before the joint committee on base
BAN OF the two organizations had got
through passing on protests against sew
erai of the players. The committee held
standing-up session back of the plate
and listened to divers and sundry re-
marks by Capt. King of the Chamber
team and Capt Gibson of the Board.
The important question was the elig1bif-.
itg of little Dick Conners. assistant seq
retary of the Board of Trade, and DR..
Lowe of the Chamber of Commerce team
Conners was ruled in and Lowe was
! ruled out. Then the game began.
DIR. Gibson won the toss and took the
field. He sent Chamberlin into the box,
whereupon the Chamber of Commerce
proceeded to make seven runs in the ini-
tial session. Five bases on balls. four
hits and innumerabe errors were respon-
sible for the scoring. Capt. Gibson ex-
planned after the game that in practice
his team had omitted the first inning, as
the men rarely got to the field on time for
II and had to start with the second. That

finally retired somehow or other. The
Board accomplished nothing in it's half of
the first and those who were betting on
the Board wore sad looks when the 10
score was chalked up.
Conners Proves a Wonder.
Chamberlin was yanked out of the box
by Capt. Gibson and Conners substituted
The Chamber made one more run in the
second and then stopped. After that they
were unable to get a man across the
plate. although several times they had
players on third with none out.
The run-getting on the part of the
board began in the sc cond inning when
Carlisle drew base on balls, stole sec
ond and came bounding home on a hit by
Southerland. In the third the Board got
real busy. With series of heavy swats
stolen bases passes and almost every
thing that can happen in base ball TO aid
them, six men crossed the plate. In the
fourth they drove in two more runs and
added another in the fifth. They failed
TO tally in the sixth and seventh, but got
across with one run in the eighth.
Star Play of the Game.
The star feature of the game happened
in the third inning when the Board was
in the field and Guy and Phil King for

like great batting rally. Guy was on
