OLYMPIC ENTHUSIASM
HAS HAD EXPLOSION
,Sbeciaf TO The Tclepyobh

London, Jan. 1.-The British Olym-
pic fund, whose sponsors aspired to
secure 100000 through a national
subscription, has turned out to be a
monumental fiasco. In October last
the Special Olympic Games Committee
decided unanimously that if the fund
did not reach $125, by the end of
1913 the committee would not be
justified in proceeding further in the
matter On the expiration of the time
limit to-day, the subscription aggre-
gated only $55,O00
OF the total sum subscribed only
$32,5O0 is in hard cash, the balance
having been merely Professionally
promised. Out of the cash collected,
the committee has already spent $17,-
500 which leaves balance of SIS, 700
for finding and training team to
average Great Britain at the Berlin
Olympic games in 1916.

STREET IMPROVEMENT BONDS.
COMMITTEE.
By L. NJ. HEWITT.

Everyone in Bryan agreed that
street improvement is needed and that
it cannot be had without expense. AT
recent session OF the city council a
resolution was adopted submitting to
a vote of the qualified taxpayers the
question. shall the city issue bonds to
the amount of $4,000, the proceeds
TO be used in street improvements
II is illegal TO submit at this election
the question of location or definite
street or streets to be improved. This
is a matter to be determined largely
by the city council.
Knowing, from constant contact
with the citizens, that an impression
was prevalent in the minds OF the pub
lie that this entire fund was to be
used to pave one residence street, and
that a very large number of voters
were expressing opposition to this
plan, this writer started out several
days ago to interview the members
OF the council upon the subject, and
the result is that nearly if not every
member of the council favors the plan
to pave the intersections to Main
street, railroad to railroad, except An
derson street. which they favor ex-
tending TO Redtop in order to cover
the government building All surplus
will be used in Systematically grading
and draining the residence streets.
However, every councilman expressed
a desire to listen to the desires of the
taxpayers, either by petition or other
wise, and 10 use their best effort to
use the funds upon such streets as
the people want For instance, if the
abutting pro.-rty owners on the Main
street intersections do not want their
streets paved they are not to have
paving forced upon them. If residence
street property owners petition for
street improvement and propose to
pay portion of the expense they will
be allowed to name the Improvements
to be made, and to cooperate in the
supervision if they so elect. Every
councilman is a business man and as
such desires to do the best they can
with what they have to do with. They
are unit in saying the bona issue
should carry and then let the people
say how Improvements shall be made
Bryan cannot afford to take back
ward step in this matter, but the
writer agrees with the councilmen
that the people should have voice
IN. deciding the method and material
This will prove long tride in much
needed street improvement.

CHURCH AFFAIRS
ON BUSINESS LINES
Work OF Finance Committee Of First
Baptist Church Remarkable
Record.

For more than five years the First
Baptist Church has raised the entire
financial budget and has had a small
balance in the treasury at the close
of the year.
This could not be possible without
the cooperation of the members and
friends of the church. and they have
done nobly. Then the large finance
committee, consisting of the deacons
and an equal number of leading bust
ness men, have planned largely the
work and have appointed a special
committee who have the responsibility
OF raising the money necessary to
meet all the expenses of the church.
Mr.. Eugene Edge has held the re-
sponsible position of chairman OF this
committee for the past FIVE years, and
no doubt the unusual success which
has attended this work has been large.
ly due to his good business judgment
in leading in the work and in that of
those who have so nobly assiste him.
After rounding out five years of lead
ership in this work he asked to be re.
lieved OF being chairman, but con.
tinues as a member of the committee
to aid in every possible way its work.
At the first meeting of this COM
mittee last night all the members OF
the committee for 1914 were present,
and the following comprise the officers
and members for this year: E. F.
Parks, chairman. ]. H. Conway, secre-
tary; w. A. Withers, treasurer of the
church. E. H. Edge, E. ]. Fountain.
Mr.. E. F. Parks, the new chairman,
is familiar with the work, having
served on the committee the past five
years with great acceptance. and has
pledged to him the cooperation of the
committee and the hearty support OF
the church, which gives assurance of
success.

MOVE STARTED To
ORGANIZE Y. N. c. A.
Young Men Of the City Discuss Plans
and Effect a Temporary
Organization.

A meeting was held last night at
Parks furniture store in an effort to
organize Y. NJ. C. A. for the young
men of Bryan. A large number OF
young men and several business men
OF the city were present and much
enthusiasm for the movement was
manifested. Every one present ex-
pressed himself as believing that a
Y. M. c. A. is the very thing needed
by the young men OF Bryan, as they
will have something to occupy their
time on Sunday afternoons, when time
seems to hang heavily on their hands.
The following temporary officers
were elected: D. D. White, president;
viii Hall, secretary. and Travis B.
Bryan, treasurer and corresponding
secretary.
The young men have secured the
agreement of Ira Gooch of Navasota,
the owner of the building occupied by
the Parks furniture store, to build a
third story to the building and have
it arranged according to specifications
drawn up by the young men, and
which will meet the demands of a
modern Y. NJ. c. A.
They report that outside Of the club
rooms. there will be several rooms to
rent to young men to live in.
After all plans are perfected for
the organization, the State Y. NJ. c.
A. organizer will be called to Bryan
to help perfect the organization and
to start it out right.
A collection will be taken up among
the business men to furnish the club
rooms and for other necessities, and
the organization will be conducted
Just as other Y NJ. c. AS over the
State.
Another meeting will be called at
some later date and everybody will be

COST OF SHOWING AT SAN
FRANCISCO.

rs XHIBITORS of livestock at the
Panama Pacific International Ex-
position at San Francisco next
year will get exceptionally good treat
ment from the transportation COM
panies. An agreement between the ex-
position management and the Trans
continental Freight Bureau provides
that all animals shipped from the lat
ter's territory for exhibition purposes
and on which full freight has been
paid shall be returned free of charge
over the same routes. If the animals
are sold while at San Francisco re-
fund of 25 per cent of the freight paid
will be made to the exhibitor.
If animals are concentrated into train
loads of ten cars or more each at some
central point they will be run through
TO San Francisco on a special schedule
under supervision of the transportation
department of the exposition.
In order to protect the exhibitors OF
livestock and poultry from extortionate
charges for feed the managers OF the
livestock department have arranged to
supply all the feed, including silage,
cabbage and roots. An estimate shows
that the cost of keeping different ami
mails for q month will be about as

Quality in Horses

weight, kind of feet and legs, action
and quality and other essential features
of animal conformation and function.
Those of most bulky farm are as rule
likely to lack most in quality. Those
strongly characterized by and highly
commended for quality frequently and
in fact moro often than otherwise,
have eompensating weaknesses in an
other direction. The Clydesdale is the
drafter of outstanding finish and quail
ity as indicated by clean cut head,
graceful set of neck and shoulders,
stylish outlines, fiat, cordy legs and
dense and tough structure of hoof.
Many of the same things can be said
of the Percheron. The compensating
weaknesses frequently charged against
these two breeds need not be here dis
cussed.
The Belgian and the Shire are
heavier, coarser breeds, excelling on
the average in weight and substance,
but with high quality frequently lack
ing. The American trade, however, is
demanding more finish, more style and
action in the breeds that are common
ly faulted in this respect, and the
breeders are catering to this demand.
One of the outstanding prize winning
Shires mares in the Northwest this year
was one of medium weight, with flashy
action and so flat and clean in h6E
cannons and pasterns that many good
horsemen said of her that she had a
"Clydesdale bottom" " Quality alone
in this mare entitled her to considera-
ton in any show ring She was beaten
but once during the season, and then
had to go below a heavier, thicker,
deeper and larger boned mare. The
heavier mare in this case had to carry
lots of quality in addition to her bulk
and muscling or she could not have
won in close decision over the flash
and finish of her clean legged rival.
The biggest question in the draft
horse world today is that of weight
versus quality.
