NEW YORK, August 17.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson late last night be-
came the center of a veritable mael-

shake his hand as he was leaving the
theatre.
The shoow which the Governor at

he was there. AS the curtain fell at
the close of the play, however, it was
quickly raised agin and the leading
lady appeared at the tootlights with a
bouquet which she tossed to Mr.. Will
son, who sat near, saying:
"a bouquet of flowers from bonnie
wee lassie to the next President of the
United States"
The Governor got up and bowed and
as the crowd recognized him, demon
stration followed. Soon a cheering
crowd surged about him. The Cover
nor escaped for a moment by accept
ing an invitation to visit behind the
scenes. -

Now that the National Gnardsmen
are back from their annual encamp-
lnent, and have had time to get used
to the luxuries OF civil life, after the

sible SPACE of time. One will see
just this same scene, day after day,
in crossing the Bay, and after you
have seen it once you have seen
all that is ever to be seen at such
times. But the Bay is always full
of interest, with its %churning hur-
rying ferry boats, its feet of steam
and sail vessels, its important tugs,
scurrying along and the small mo-
tor boats rushing about, with now
and then a small craft under sail
or a row-boat lodging around and
rocking in the great waves kicked
up by the ferry boats. The days
are bright and sunny and a golden
haze hangs in the atmosphere, max

They are building a belt railway
to connect the water front with
the Exposition grounds. 1t runs
along between the Ferry building
and the open space between that
building and the streets. Fol q
foundation they are driving huge
piling that are from 60 to Is feet
in length and the way these huge
timbers disappear under ground,
under the driving force of the great
hammer, is truly interesting. The
Ferry traffic flows around this work
like a stream of water, always eb-
bling and lowing like the tide.
Now and then you will see a man
stop to watch the work for a minute
and then hurry on, but for the

it more than a passing glance
they are in toe much of a rush. /

at the Ferry, each leading a Chin
panzee by a slender chain. One
of the animals ives half grown and
the other was a little fellow. They
were fat and their coat of hair
fairly shone with good care. They
were trying to get on a street car.
The. monkeys were watchful and
wary in their efforts to keep out
from under the feet of the hurry
throng, looking back over their
shoulders constantly to see what
their masters desired them to do,
obeying their every word and mo.
ton. All the hurry and hustle
did not prevent them from explor.

Before coming to the coast l
used to wonder about the charac-
ter Of the clothing one needs in
this country. l had an idea that
one would have to dress very light
ly here, but a months 80 journ here
has dispelled that notion entirely.
The people here wear just as heavy
and just as much clothing as they
do in Wyoming, or Nebraska, or
Illinois. While it is not 80 very
cold, it is cool the most of the
time, and a good, thick overcoat
is very comfortable nights and
mornings. When you come here

just wear the same clothes you do
at home and you will strike it
about right. Men wear overcoats
and the women wear furs the year
One does not see SO many

breezes are sharper, it is true, but
not so chilly as here.
