IL. "~CADILLAQUE'

The city Of Detroit, during the week
of July 90. will inaugurate a carnival
and water fete known as "Cadillaqua."
1t will celebrate the founding of the
city by Cadillac in the year 1901. and
will be an annual event. Particular
attention will be paid to water sports.
and. already the fastest sailing yachts
and motor boats on the great lakes
and other inland waters. have been
entered. Motor boats from Long ISL
ard Sound. Marblehead and Boston
will also take part in the speed con-
tests.
Water sports are in charge of a
committee headed by George W.
Graves of the Detroit Motor Boat
club. Associated with him are the
commodores and presidents of all the
leading yacht and motor boat clubs on
h great lakes. The United States
government has promised it's support
in policing the course.
In view of the fact that Detroit was
founded by the French, the French
government will participate in the
celebration. National amateur cham

on the program and evening will
be given to a canoe carnival on the
canals of Belle Isle-the municipal

Bowling VeryAncient Game

1t is not known when, where or how
the ancient game of bowling origin
ated. From the earliest times in every
civilized country of Europe the game
has been played in one form or anoth-
er. AS far back as the twelfth cen-
fury bowls was a popular game in
England. Strut. in his sports and
pastimes of England, says the pastime
of bowling. whether practiced on an
open green Or in bowling alleys, was
probably an invention of tho middle
ages (400-1500). 1t existed before
printing was discovered. and frequent
illusions as made to it in the writ
ings of the ancient chroniclers. The
present game is undoubtedly of Dutch
origin. 1t was a favorite pastime of
the people of Holland, and the French
were playing curraen. a primitive
form Of bowling, long before the reign
of Charlemagne. Curling. which is an
adaptation Of the ancient form of
bowls. was introduced INTO Scotland by
the Flemish %emigrants in the sixteenth
century. Among the other games
analogous to bowles which was prac-

STREET HOPES TO PASS

New Workers have a catcher

:. Roger Bresnahan have been hard
toilers, but 1t is doubtful IL any
member of this trio has averaged
} more than one hundred games to
the season since he became a reg

Street has been in professional
!, baseball since 1903. In the nine
years he has caught. just exactly
03ls8ames, and before the curtain

NEWS LETTER FROM
THE STATE CAPITAL
State Bar Association Will Investigate
the HanfOrd Charges Preacher
Convicted of Libel

The conviction Of A. I. Lucas of the
charge of criminal libel, by the Column
bia county superior court, has been
sustained by the supreme court and
Lucas will have to 60 to Jail for ninety
days and pay fine Of $3.50. Lucas
was reform preacher whose teachings
so aroused the indignation Of the peo-
pie Of Dayton that they threatened to
tar and feather him, and thereupon
Lucas sent to Governor Hay for the
MALTA to be sent to protect him. The
local authorities, however, said that
they could handle the case and there
was no further trouble in regard to
rough treatment for Lucas.
The charges filed against U. S. Fed
eral Judge c. H. Hanford will be in
vestigated by a committee composed
of Geo. Turner, of Spokane, I. L..
Stiles, of Tacoma, Geo. Walker, H. E.
Hadley and Ira Englehart, Of Seattle,
who have been appointed by the ex-
ecutive committee of the State Bar As
sociation to look into the matter and
make its report at the coming session
of the association, which opens at Ia
coma on July 81. The committee
say that the charges are of so serious a
nature that they must be investigated,
although it has great confidence in
Judge Hanford.
