RECEIVED ANSWER
TO A. Y.P. LETTER
MISS KATHRYN LEAVERS IS THE
SENT EAST BY PUPILS OF
CITY SCHOOLS.

Some time ago mention was made
of the fact that the pupils of, the. city
schools were sending letters east, ad-
vertising the big Seattle fair, and in
cidentally telling of the Wenatchee
Valley. Miss Kathryn Leavers, pu-
pill of the eighth grade, is the first
to receive an answer to her letter. 1t
| is as follows, and is from Chas. F.
Painter, manager of the Telluride
Journal, Telluride, Colorado:
Miss Kathryn Leavers,
Wenatchee, Washington:
Dear Miss Kathryn-We were very
pleased, indeed, to receive your letter
of March 5th, and took pleasure in
publishing the same in our paper, a
copy of which we are sending you
by this mail. under separate cover.
If the writer is able to get to the
Alaska exposition, he
will certainly endeavor to stop off at
Wenatchee to make your acquain-
lance and to sample one of those fine
red apples you tell us about
With best wishes, very truly yours,
CHAS. F. PAINTER,
Manager.
The following is the newspaper
story regarding the letter:
"The Journal is in receipt of let
ter from a little miss in the eighth
grade of the public schools at Wenat-
chez, Washington, which we reprint
in full. AS an example of the Young
American spirit of progressive enter
prise and hustle, and as an irrefutable
evidence of the oft-repeated phrase,
"It pays to advertise, we consider
that it is the cleverest thing we have
seen in many months. Accompanying
the letter was a pamphlet telling by
picture and word of the big red apples
they grow in the Wenatchee Valley,
but so demurely does the little miss
refer to this matter, that it really
seems as though it were but mere
secondary thought carelessly insert
ed to call ones attention to the
Alaska exposition to be
held at Seattle this summer. The
letter is as follows:
"Wenatchee, Wash, March 5, 1909.
editor of Journal, Telluride, Colo:
Dear Sir: The pupils Of the We
natchee schools are writing to the pu-
pills of your school to start correspon-
dence. We are writing these letters
notifying you of the letters that will
be sent.
when coming to the Alaska-Yu-
kon-Pacific exposition, as I expect you
will, stop off at the Wenatchee Valley
and see the large apples and also the
scenery.
'The letters will be sent to the SUI

tributed among the pupils. Yours

There was only one change in the lead
erships of the big bowling tourney at the
Palace alleys last night, Bissle. in class
singles. hanging up a score of oIs.
which ousted Dave McCarty from first
place. where he has stood for quite
time with 81. Bissle toppled over 2S3
pins in his last game, which easily over
came his poor work in the first two. Five
strikes in rapid succession did the work
and made the figures multiply in big
jumps.
The quint team matches were conclud-
ed, and the jolly Fat Men walk away
with the first prize, as their figures,
2S0t, were not seriously endangered. On
form this victory figures out right, as
the Fat Men are about the most con-
sistentt bowlers in the city. The quint
will lose matches but in the long run it
is generally there or Whereabouts Last
night ii was there.
The spor: tonight should be unusually
exciting and interesting. as there are
quite a number of high-class men to
roll in the doubles and singles, and If
overanxiety does not handicap the con-
teStants. there is chance of the rec
ords being smashed. The gallery is re-
served for ladies with escorts, but there
Is a limit to its capacity, and early ar
rivals will have the choice.
Following are the scores rolled last
night:

TRIALS TOMORROW.
Georgetown Props to Pick Relay
Team

Tomorrow morning, on the basement
track of the Healy building, Coach Smith
Of the Blue and Gray Props will hold time
trials to decide who will run on the relay
team which is TO go up against Business
and Technical High Schools for the Dis
trict championship at the Federal games.
Each candidate will run quarter of a
mile. and the four making the best time
will be chosen to represent the school, AS
the men have been at work since before
Christmas and are in the pink of con-
dition. IL Is expected that some fast marks
will be made.
Besides the relay four, Capt. Wieser has
his men divided up into sections which
are specializing for the different events.
Wieser himself looks good for the dashes.
and is fast developing into hurdler. Da-
hill is another one whose past form speaks
well for him as a sprinter. Rodriguez is
an unknown quantity, but the wise ones
on the outside have kept him In view as
distance man. as they have also done
with the three Grahams, Murphy, O'Brien
and Heiskell. Brennan, the captain of the
goal tossers, is probably the best half
miller in the school.
Manager Daley announced last night
that he was trying to arrange for a
match between the props and the win
ner of the Episcopal Woodberry race.
The latter comes off in the Federal
games, and the other race would be
course this would hardly be big event
unless the props win out in Stuart's
contests. but Manager Daley Is so con-
fident of their ability to trim the local
high schools that he is going ahead and
fixing things upon that superstition.
There will be no basket ball games or
athletic contests in Ryan gymnasium to-
morrow because Of Prof. Joyce's absence
with the varsity quint at Charlottes-
Vile. The final wrestling bout between
Allison Of Carroll Institute and Cogswell
of the prep school has been postponed
a week. Coach Joyce yesterday got
ahold of another grappler in the person
of Pierce. who came to Georgetown from
Bowdoin. This lad will fit in nicely on
the team. being suitable for the 130-
pound class. He and Cogswell should
be able to take care of the lightweight
matches, so that from now on the coach
will probably give most of his atten-
ton to developing some heavy men IN
the stunts of the mat.

Former Detroit Captain Will Man
age Tri-State League Club.

WILLIAMSBURG, January 30-At a
meeting of the directors of the Will
Transport base ball team William
Coughlin, late of the Detroit club. was
formally elected manager of the Mil
lionaires for the season of 1903. This
settles all doubts as to whether Will
Transport will be represented in the Tri-
State. Enough money has been sub
scribed by merchants and others to make
the directors feel safe in putting up the
balance. which they are now doing.
Coughlin arrived here yesterday after
noon. He will take hold at once, and
guarantees that he will have a team
that will make all of the other Tri-State
teams hustle. The chances of Cockill
and Shean returning to the Millionaires
are said to be good, and Ii is also stated
that another prime favorite here, Harry
Gleason. may be seen in a Williamsport
uniform again

TOP WEIGHT FOR
AMERICAN HORSES

The news comes from England that
the official Handicapped Of the Jockey
Club has placed three American horses,
Of which much is expected this year, in
the place of honor at the top Of the list
of weights for the Great Jubilee handicap
of $4,000. This race will be run at
KemptoE Park on May 8, and, as the
distance is one mile and a quarter, ii
corresponds in some respects to the
Brooklyn and Suburban handicaps here.
In all probability the English handi-
capper had no recourse in assigning the
weights, in view of the performances of
the horses. which he was called upon
to rate in this country last season In
some respects 1t is blind handicap. as
there is no possible way Of comparing
the American horses with the best OF
those abroad. The handicappers simply
took no chances, and the invaders will
be forced to establish their form over
there before getting any pull in this

COLLINS TO HEAD
MINNEAPOLIS TEAM

BUFFALO, n. Y, January 3O.-Jimmy
Collins, who played third base for Connie
Mack's Athletics last season, will man
age the Minneapolis team of the Ameri-
can Association this year. Collins has
been in this city for some time trying to
secure the franchise of the Buffalo team
and having failed in this came TO terms
with the Minneapolis management.
1t is understood that the Buffalo people
put too high a price on the franchise,
else Collins would have surely come here.
He will play third base on the Mime
apolis team and also act as field captain.
Before he went to Philadelphia to play
with the Athletics Collins was captain
and third baseman of the Boston Ameri-
can League champions. and was at that
time considered the greatest third-sacker
in the big leagues. Two months ago he
was released Internationally by Connie
Mack.

OAKLAND. Cal. January 3O.-Today is
field day in the turf world. A collection
of the greatest thoroughbreds will face
the starter in the rich Burns handicap at
the Emeryville course, and the race will
be worth $4,000 to the owner of the
victorious horse. This event is the most
historic in the western racing world. This
season 1t has additional prestige, as it is
the most valuable stake to be decided in
the whole country. In former years
the first prize was worth around 81, 900,
but the adverse legislation in the east
brought the best horses in training out
here. and the new California Jockey Club
showed its appreciation of this fact by
almost doubling the amount of the value
of the stake.
1t is expected that not more than
nine runners will wear silks on this occa-
SION The race is over route of one
mile and quarter, and it is only for
the gamest of the game. as it Is strug-
gle right from the drop of the flag There
Is no room for a selling platter for he
would meet horses of class that would
break his heart before quarter had been
covered.
In the judgment of most experts the
rich prize will fall to Firestone, the prop
erty of Thomas H. Williams, president
of the Emeryville Club. The great race
the colt ran in the Lissak handicap last
Saturday. when he was buffeted all
around and came fast enough to get the
place, proves that he is on edge. Do
rante may be lucky enough to land the
second money. This colt has been show
ing good turns of speed and must be
considered dangerous. King James should
manage to get part Of the money He
is allotted the top impost of 124 pounds,
which is a hard burden in an event of
this order.
Notwithstanding that the above trio
look the best, the balance of the starters
must also be considered seriously, as they
all are speedy and able to stay the route
Montgomery, who won this event last
year in a gallop, will hardly face the
flag. The Pessara colt has failed to show
any of his old-time speed, and it would
be futile TO spend the entrance fee on
him.

Hummelstown Pike, In Pennsylvania,

A modern road is the Hummelstown
pike. near Harrisburg. Pa. II Is made
of mixture of water gas tar, ce-
ment, liquid asphalthum, road oil. car
bolic disinfecting powder. sulphate of
copper and oil OF wintergreen. The
sulphate of copper is used to prevent
the oils from becoming ignited, and
the wintergreen counteracts the odor
of the others. There is nothing dis
agreeable about the smell. A curious
effect of the mixture is its disinfect-
ing power. During the past year
there was not a single contagious dis
ease in that section. The cost of ap-
plying the mixture is 515 cents a
dirt together like stone, and the oils
make 1t waterproof, so that it readily
sheds water. The road is never mud
dy and, unlike tar road, does not be-
come slippery in winter time. Frost
has no effect on it at all, as the mix
ture will not freeze. The cost OF APP
plying is very small. as 1t is sprinkled
on like water That the method and
the mixture are perfect successes has
been shown the past summer. Despite
&c, the road is perfectly smooth and
very hard. and 1t has met the test In
every way.
