Stockholders

Seattle, Oct. 16.-At midnight to-
night the 10000 electric lights of the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition were
put out closing the worlds fair of
1909, which from every standpoint
was more successful than its most
jealous friends dared hope. The final
moments of the fair were as dramatic
as its beginning on June l, when 49,
600 people gathered in the natural
amphitheater and awaited President
Taft's signal
The last day was devoted to saying
good bye. The closing exercises be-
gan at 2:30 p. m. with a display of
Japanese fireworks. The exposition
band paraded from building to build
ing serenading each. The United
States government building was
reached at $50 o'clock, it's daily clos
ing hour. A cornet sounded taps
and the band played AUD Lang
Syne." The flag was hauled down as
the life saving crew on lake Union
fired twenty-One guns.
At night a great throng of people
assembled at the natural amphithe-
ater and listened to a classical band
concert. On the Pay Streak the
celebration tonight was noisy but or
derly and closed with fireworks, the
last pieces being Good night and

The exposition. whose purpose was
to acquaint the world with the mani
fold resources Of the Pacific coast. in
Guiding Alaska, the Yukon territory
and British Columbia amply fulfilled
its mission. The total attendance has
been nearly 3.750,OOO and so many Wis
itors came from the eastern states that
the railroads were unable TO handle
them comfortably. The exposition paid
all its debts and earned a surplus. not
yet computed. for its stockholders No
liquor was permitted to be sold on the
grounds or within two miles of the

weight and skill. the Stanford fresh

four years, winning the freshmen in
ter-collegiate game from the Univer-
sity of California this afternoon by a
score of to 0, in an extremely close
Rugby match. Only hard fighting and
an invincibIe defense at critical mo-
ments prevented tie score. Five
times the California team forward
carried the ball within a yard of the
Stanford goal, only to lose il and have
the fast cardinal backs retrieve by
long kicks to touch
The Rugby played was the best ex-
-hibition yet made in a first year con-
test, though the predominance of
serum and forward playing deprived
the match of spectacular features. The
California serum was heavier and
broke up quickly, smothering nearly
every play of the Stanford half Stan
ford relied on its back field for gains,
but the superiority of the California
forwards denied this division Of the
Stanford fifteen any opportunity to
