The carnival shows both at tho
fair grounds and down town were
popular and did an excellent busi :
n SIS. The people still like to go -
the sideshows and probably will rs

fairs. So AiA4 r

there were more performances than
had been expected. What with
tumbling and hand balancing and the
aeropl9 ming and small races in the
small track and other things the

kept very busy during the day.
AT night three bands, the First
Regiment, the Copper Queen and the
Indian School bands, in massed for

following this stationed themselves
on the streets at prominent positions
and played for the thousands of

the crowds enjoyed themselves i'm

Pleased bp Experiences in
Brief Trip TO The National Capital

|; I'm very glad to see YOU" said Mr.
Wilson as he shook hands with Mr..
Roosevelt. They had met before and
therefore no introductions were nee.
essary.
After the exchange Of greetings the
president led the way to the south
portico Of the white house where the
cool breezes from the Potomac made
more bearable the extreme heat. There
Lemonade was served and the two men
sat down for long talk.
Speaking Of travel, books and tell.
ing stories the two men seemed to
enjoy their meeting greatly. All con-
troversial subjects were avoided but
the colonel himself mentioned the
river of doubt which he discovered
in Brazil and joked over the contro-
versy about It,
A crowd of several hundred people
had gathered inside the white house
grounds and as Colonel Roosevelt ap-
peared at his departure, there was a
burst of handclapping.
1T was very pleasant social visit"
said Col. Roosevelt after It was over.

Colonel Roosevelt's visit with Presi.
dent Wilson was perhaps of greater
interest to the public than any other
event OF the day. The president and
his predecessor spent more than half
an hour together and talked of most
everything except politics. A good
deal Of the time was put in at telling
stories.
When the colonel arrived at the ex-

automobile with his old time vigor and
walked quickly into the white house

Yankee Visitors Enthuse as
Animal Puts Favorites
Out Of Running

Epson, Eng. May 27.-The Derby
best known of the English classic
horse races, was won today by ar
American horse. Herman B. Duryea's
Durbar II. Thirty horses ran, the
largest field in derby since 1868.
The winners recent form in France
had been considered so poor that he
was regarded here as rank outsider
and odds of 25 to we're laid against
him in the clubs last night. Today he
had no trouble and won in canter by
three lengths from two other outsiders
Hapsburg and Peter the Hermit.
The betting just before the start OF
the race was 20 to against Durbar
II, 33 to against Hapsburg and 100 to
against Peter the Hermit.
The public favorites never flattered
their supporters at any stage OF the
race. Kennymore, who led the bet
ting, behaved so badly at the post
that he delayed the start and when the
field was finally sent away he was left
in bad position.
Policyrate made all the ruling to the
half distance with Black Jester, Haps-
burg, Dan Russell and Durbar II close
up. Rounding the Tattenham corner,
Durbar II jumped in on the rail and
took up the running. The horse ther,
held command to the finish successful.
ly. Dan Russell was fourth. The time
for the race was minutes, % seconds
a fraction of second quicker than
the average.
Mr.. Duryea had great faith In his
horse which was backed for large
amounts BY the American contingent
The jubilation among the big crowd OF
transatlantic visitors was distinctly
noticeable as the winner was led into
the paddock.
King George and Queen Mary we're
both present as well as most of the
staff of the United States embassy,

were large numbers OF Americans from

.CARRANzA ABOUT READY To- SEEK
REPRESENTATION At CONFERENCE
Mediators Off on
Trip For Pleasure

Niagara Falls, Ont, Can, May
27.-The mediation body COM
posed of the South American
ENJOYS and the American and
Mexican delegates suspended
their work here today to attend
a garden party this afternoon in
Toronto in honor of the gov
ernor general of Canada, his
royal highness the Duke of
Connaught. the Duchess and
Princess Patricia. Sir John
Gibson, lieutenant governor of
the dominion, is the host. The
mediation colony prepared to
leave here early and will re-
turn tonight. Enroute they
probably will have some in
formal discussion about the
the mediation problem. No
regular conferences are con-
templated.
AS the party left for Toronto
it was evident that all were
highly optimistic and confident
of a successful outcome Of the
conferences.
With the land question salts
factorily adjusted, the media
tors and delegates were concen-
trating their attention on the
exact manner in which a new
provisional government might
be set up to succeed the pres
ent regime. That General
Huerta has formally indicated
his willingness to abide by the
program thus far outlined here
is no longer doubted. The ef-
{ fort now is to arrange for a
change of executives in a digni-
fed manner. The mediation
conference in all probability
will not choose provisional
president. This will have to be
done by the Mexico City gov
ernment itself.

Lake Mohonk Conference

tration Much Pleased
EX-COUNSELER OF
STATE PRESIDES
Three Hundred Members
Present for Twentieth
Annual Meeting

Mohonk Lake, N. Y, May 27-The
mediation of Argentina, Brazil and
Chile, in the Mexican situation, and
the apparent progress already made by
the conference at Niagara Falls, were
pointed out by speakers at Lake Mo-
honk conference on international arbi-
tration today, as the most encouraging
sign of the present time in the cause
of peace.
John Bassett Moore of Columbia
university, recently counsellor of the
state department, who presided at the
conference, said in his opening address
that the mediation of the A. B. G. pow
ers, no matter what may be its result,
is a remarkable event in the history
Of international relations in the west
ern hemisphere
1T has been hailed" he declared,
as the beginning of new Pan-Ameri-
can diplomacy, and it may at any rate
be regarded as the most striking de-
velopment yet witnessed of the Pan
American movement which was form
ally inaugurated by the first interna-
tional American conference at Wash
ington conference at Washington in
1889 and 1890"
Mr.. Moore admitted that actual re-
suits from arbitration during the past
two years had not been remarkable,
and that the period had been marked
by armed conflicts Of exceptional des-
tructiveness. Speaking of the last war
in the Balkans, he said there was
much to indicate that the. end, Of hos
tilities In that quarter of the globe
was not yet In sight.
Three hundreds members are here
for this, thestwentieth annual confer
ence. They came from all parts of the
United States and from Europe and
South America The conference will
extend through Friday. On Thursday
afternoon five representatives from the
intercollegiate peace association will
engage in the eighth national oratori-
cal contest of that organization.
The first session today was opened
by Daniel Smiley, host of the confer
ence. Other speakers were John A.
