Travel in Them Compared by Lon

You must take into considera-
ton, said Albert H. Stanley, direct
or OF the London Underground electric
railway, to a New York Times re-
porter, the fact that the New York
er is rather methodical IN his hab-
its. He wants to go to the Office
at a given time, and he wants to go
home at a given hour. There is a
unaninity of inclination in this re-
spect that seems to be quite decis-
i've and invariable The whole town
leaves its work together to go home
which makes a stupendous problem
of transportation here that is quite
unknown in any other city in the
world. The regulation OF trains to &C
commodate this unique character OF
New York traffic has been no easy
problem to solve"
More trains would not relieve the
.crowding of cars?" There is not so
much objection to the crowding OF
cars. perhaps. as there would be
to slow methods of transportation.
What creates this crowdng of the
subway trains, abroad as well as in
New York. is the eagerness with
which you ard |. and thousands more
want to get to a given place. The full
meaning of rapid transit is quick
service, speed with maximum of safe
ty and minimum cost. One can
readily endure some discomfort for
the ultimat advantage of quick trans
portation, matter which the sub
way system in New York has solved
perhaps. more thoroughly than any
where else in the world.
THE speed of subway express
trains here is greater than in Lon
don or in any Of the great cities in
Europe. In fact. the entire problem
of transportation in New York. sur
face and underground. while greater
than that of any other city. is also
the largest and one of the besr
equipped systems in the world.
IF the facilities of transportation
are greater, what about the discom

MISS SUTTON WILL PLAY EAST

Philadelphia tennis enthusiasts will
be delighted to hear that Miss May
Sutton, who is undoubtedly the best
woman player in the world at this time,
has promised to play in special inYi-
tation tournament at the Merton Crick-
ct club, at Haverford, during Septem-
ber.
Every effort was made to induce her
to enter the national tournament at st.
Martins last month, but it was impos-
sible for her to leave California at that
time. Miss Sutton, however, promised
that she would pay a visit to Philadel-
phia before the close of the season, if
possible, and it has now been definitely
settled that she will be the guest of
Miss Clara r. Chase, 1882 Pine street.
Miss Sutton will play in the Newport
and Cleveland tournaments before com
ing here, and therefore the date of the
event at Haverford has not yet been
decided upon.

n ROBABLY the largest deer killed
so far this season within 100 miles
Il of Los Angeles was bagged by
Ed Mitchell, who, with Cy Spaulding,
w. L. Hodges and Fred jerks, made a
three days hunting trip into the noun
tains about thirty miles from Santa
Monica and above the Malibu ranch.
Mitchell and his party left Santa
Monica early in the morning and
reached their destination after a thirty
mile stage ride, camping at Deckers
ranch. After a short hunt late in the
afternoon a buck was sighted by Fred
jerks, who finally bagged the animal,
spike buck. A second days hunt
added one more deer to the list, but 1t
was just before returning on the third
day that Mitchell sighted the big
buck.
Mitchell had gone over a hill near
Doc Deckers ranch aid saw the ami
NAL about 400 yards distant, in the
bottom of a canyon. Mitchell opened
fire apparently without effect, the deer
becoming confused and running toward
him and into clump of live oaks
about 200 yards distant. Hodges, who
had been hunting in the vicinity
chased the deer into the open again.
The animal ran directly over the brow
of hill about 100 yards from where
Mitchell was standing. The first shot
from Mitchell dropped the deer,
striking it just below the horns.
The buck was an especially large,
five-point specimen, weighing slightly
over $50 pounds dressed. Mitchell re-
ports deer signs as being very numer-
Gus in the Malibu country, this being
especially true in the immediate vi
cinity of the coast. The country is,
however, extremely rugged and in
places almost inaccessible.
Il
Gus Knight has returned from Bear
valley the proud possessor of an ex-
ceptionally fine pair of horns taken
from a large buck of the blacktail va
riety. Knight reports deer signs as
being numerous in that vicinity, al
though the greater number of the
tracks are of does or faWns.
Terry Mayes and party will leave
Monday for German station on deer
and dove hunting expedition. The party
expects to find deer in the vicinity of
Fraser and Alma mountains.
E. L. Mitchell win leave today for

hope of making a big catch of albicore.
Thousands of yellowtail are reported
to be running at present, although but
few have been taken, as the fish will
not strike at a trolling bait.
Many surf fish have been caught
during the past week at Huntington

Large strings of surf fish have been
