own and let all know that our unas-
sailable supremacy at sea shall be kept
IF the British empire is To remain
it must maintain naval superiority; that
is undoubted.
The heart of empire is absolutely de-
pendent on the punctuaI and sure de
livery of water-horne food and raw ma
terial supplied 10y its arteries, the trade
routes.
"A successful attack on the trade routes
would paralyZe the trade of the dominions
well that of Great Britain.
1T therefore becames a matter of life
or death to the British empire to remain
supreme at sea. Command of the sea is
as necessary for our existence as an
empire.
THE tendency OF late has been to gain
complete naval supremacy in the North
Sea. No doubt that would protect the
heart. of empire-the British Isles
from invasion. but complete naval
supremacy on all seas can alone secure a
continuance OF the British empire A
whole. 1t is that fact that has lately
been realized by Britons throughout the
world"

TORONTO. September 1.-AdmiraI Lord
Charles Beresford. who has been in Can

of the Toronto exhibition yesterday after
noon, said he had been struck with the
vigorous and hopeful look Of the young
people in Canada.
Then he significantly declared:
There Is a weary look about our peo-

look of contentment, health, hope and
happiness which you have so predomi-

Speaking of imperial subjects and re-

don, in which representatives of the Brit
ish colonies took part, Lord Beresforc
said:
"Supremacy at Sea Threatened"
ct is earnestly to be hoped the result
of the conference will be found in deeds
not words. While we have been talking
other people have been acting.
What is wanted is bold constructive
policy, broad in its base, imperial in III
object The time for talking Is over, th'
time for action has begun.
There must be a carefully compiled
concise and practical plan for defeating
the enemy's fleets If war should unfortu
nately be forced on us. complete
scheme should prevent war and insur
peace.
"The question of safety of empir
should be put beyond any possible doub

"Our supremacy at sea has been threat

In the near future that threat may be

empire to see that our present position !

BARON AlCYON WINS
AMERICAN DERBY
Stallion Heads Field of 80 at
ReadviIIe e-Axtator Fin
ishes Good Second.

READVILI4E. Mass. September l.
With 1900 enthusiasts Yelling themselves
hoarse, the Syracuse IN. W stallion
Baron Alcyon yesterday won the second
renewal of the American trotting derby
at the Readville track by three lengths
from Aviator IT was one of the most
spectacular races ever seen on the turf.
From the time the word was given until
the horses were within fifteen yards
of the wire the winner was in doubt.
There was long delay at the post
which might have been expected from
the large field of horses. thirty-nine elect
ing to take chance in capturing the rich
prize Starting Judge Frank Walker of
New York permitted the horses to jog
once around the track to remove their
nervousness at the post. Then. after
thirty-five minutes of dallying. the ball
fell for the start. Immediately Hylie Bird,
entered from the limit mark allowance
400 feet in advance of the scratch horses
Sonoma Girl and San Francisco. set out
to make whirlwind race Of 1t.
Passing the stand the first time, the
half-mne mark. Hylie Bird was leading
by length over Aviator. with Jim Ferry
third. Kaldar fourth. Remorseful fifth
and then the -favorite, Baron Alcyon just
In advance of a horde of horses that
packed the track full.
In the backstretch Gillies with AXta-
tor. went after the leader. the race being
hot until reaching the lower turn, a little
more than mile of the journey. AT this
point Hylie Bird weakened enough to
permit Aviator to rush into the van
good length in front Of Kaldar. who was
closely followed by Baron Alcyon.
Earnest. once he had Baron Alcyon
Strengthened out, began his drive. Gillies
was working hard on Aviator. with hopes
of lasting long enough to be the victor.
Earnest soon had passed Kaldar and at
the long distance post was Tapped on
Aviator, which gap he decreased fifty
yards from the wire to even terms. For
a few strides the two leaders raced head
and head and then the superior speed and
endurance of Baron Alcyon carried him
to the front and he passed the winning
post three lengths to the good. Aviator
was half length ahead of Kaldar. who
was a nose in front of a row of horses
that stretched across the track from pole
to fence and required the judges to place
them.
The three class races on the card served
to keep the crowd entertained till the
Derby Alice Roosevelt lost her second
heat in the 2.13 trot through making
break in the first turn and in the final
heat barely defeated Fair Margaret. Sum-

pleasure of attending the annual pic

School, held last Sunday week, men,

the same spreading shade, tie usual
fine, abundant dinner, and only a
bout one dog, and he looked lone
some and mean, but was as meek
as any dog could have been. Rev.
Mr.. Bowling, as usual, preached in
the morning. In tile afternoon there
were interesting exercises and songs,
and 'few feeble remarks" by a
visitor. An unfortunate happening
was the sudden Illness of Mrs. Whit
ley, one of the moving spirits of the
pleasant affair. She recovered sufiici-
emily to be taken home i'm the after
noon.
These good people are enthusiastic,
and consecrated to the work of the
Sunday School, and are exerting an
influence long to be felt. The child

and there is host of them, will be
found in the Parade at the Fair in
