very interesting and exciting con-
test, which consisted Of number
OF objects representing musical
terms Mrs. Montgomery had her
little dog Dot to represent one Of
the terms. She was well trained
for the occasion, sitting patiently on
the chair, with her paws tagged.
The dog created great deal of
mirth among the class as the guess

sued, and when time was called it
was found that Misses Ruth Kay
and Grace Beard had to draw for
the prize, Miss Kay being the lucky
winner of musical bar pin. Miss
Ida Pitchford received the consola-
ton prize, which was also a silver
musical pin.
After the contest the guests we're
invited into the dining room. The
beautiful decorations, pink and
white, the color scheme Of the after
noon, converted the room into a
fairyland. The flowers, snowdrops
and apple blossoms, were all in har-
moni2ing tint, while the lights from
the lamps and crystal candlesticks
sent a soft glow through their pink
shades. The place-cards were the
names Of each pupil written in mu-
sic, and the favors were miniature
baby-grand pianos, filled with bon
bons. After leaving the dining
room the hostess entertained the re-
maindcr Of the evening with ciassi-
cal selections on her "Victrola."
AS the hour grew late we bade

Unique Seaport.

The position of the port of South
ampton is that of England's premier
passenger port. and no further evi.
dence of this is needed than the fact
that 3O4,045 passengers and 47,9Gs
troops, giving total of 352,013 per
sons, arrived In the port and DEPART
ed from the docks in 1910. The geo
graphical position Of the port is nos
only unique. in that It is situated al
most midway on the coast line of the
English channel and within easy &C,
cess by rail of the metropolis, but II
is blessed with the unusual natural
advantage of double tides, which give
it virtually four hours Of high wates
twice a day-an advantage enjoyed by
no other port in the world.

DISCUSS FREEDOM OF AIR
Jurlsts Of the World Are Torn Over
Sovereignty Of Space Above
Territory.

London,-In the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries the jurists OF
the world poured forth learned
treatises on the freedom of the seas
and In those days Englishmen were
the great champions Of the doctrine
or mare liberum, while the Continental
scholars upheld the notion of mare
clausum.
Today the jurists of the world are
busy with the discussion of the free
dom OF the air. and the roles are
reversed, English professors almost
unanimously maintain the doctrine of
sovereignty over the air. space above
the territory, while their colleagues
abroad insist that the state has no
dominion.
The need for the assertion OF state
sovereignty Is implicitly recognized In
our aerial navigation act of 1911,
which empowers the government to
interdict flying over any area when it
chooses
At the same time the principal Of
state sovereignty does not interfere
WIN the right or innocent passage
through the air which the comfy and
intercourse Of nations require.
Subject only to precautions neces
sary for the safety OF the subjacent
population and public security liberty
to fly over the land will doubtless be
accorded by the state to foreigners
as well as nationals.
The position will be similar to that
taken up in regard to territorial wa
tiers, says the Law Journal. through
which there is right of innocent pas
sage to all vessels, though they are
subject to the dominion OF the neigh
boring state.
In fact. the air juridically resembles

Charles M. Harvey, describing some
of the breathless moments in election

excitement of Lincoln's nomination,
when Lincoln was running against
Seward, with the odds overwhelming
ly against him, the Worlds Work
says
Harvey pictures Seward at his home
In Auburn, N. Y, waiting for the re-
turns from the Chicago convention.
An immense throng had gathered in
his grounds and on the streets near
by to acclaim their distinguished fell
low citizen Democrats were there
as well as Republicans. On the porch
OF his house, surrounded by many of
his immediate friends. sat Seward,
yards flags tugged for permission to
rise. Cannon, loaded, awaited the
word from Thurlow Weed, Stewards
manager at Chicago, which would per.
NIT them to proclaim the expected
glad tidings
"Dashing down the street, horse
man pulled up at Stewards house and
handed him a telegram of the first
ballot-'Seward 173. Lincoln 1O1'
Tumultuous cheers greeted 1t as 1t
was read to the great concourse. Car
ried by the same messenger little
later was the second ballot-'Sew-
ard 1874. Lincoln 49,

Intense emotion swayed the throng
- It awaited the final word from
