Excellent Condition for First
Match.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Short, easy
gallops were the only work today Of the
American and British fours who will

excellent condition except Capt Leslie
st. George Cheape, the famous British
No. ..
Cheape. however. is expected to be in
good enough shape to put up his game
tomorrow. Though his eye is still
bloodshot and his face badly bruised
from recent accident. the English
captain was able TO play through seven
full chukkers in the teams last prac-
tice, and aided materially In its score
OF goals to ~ against an American
four.
Only one thing today seemed to mill
tate against the British chances-three
of the British first string ponies have
gone lame.
Interest in the first contest was great
today, and betting was freer. Odds OF
10 to that the Americans would win
the first game still were offered. but
British hackers held out for 10 to on
the series and 10 to for the first
match .-

School of Mines Students Make Use
of Time.

Rapid City, April 24.-The pres
ent week is the spring vacation of
the State School of Mines, located
in this city. and according to estab-
lished custom several of the classes
are making very practical use of the
time.
The senior classes in mining, met
allurgy and electrical engineering,
under the direction of Profs. Ehle,
Van Hugs and Crook, are TO spend
the week in the northern hills. They
will spend two days at the Home
stake mine at Lead studying at first
hand the mining and milling system.
Then they will spend two days study
ing mining in the Bald mountain re-
gion and two days at Puma and
Spearfish studying hydraulics and
electricity at the immense power
power plants at these two places.
The class in minerology will visit
Harvey peak and study minerals in
the crude with Prof. Ziegler, while
the freshman class in geology will
spend several days in the bad lands

President O'Hara.

SOME
OF the Reduced Rate On Railroad
Passenger Fare.

Sioux Falls, April 24.-In spite of
the reduction of the passenger rate
in South Dakota from 3 to 2h
cents per mile, it costs a person trav-
cling from this city to Aberdeen by
the way of Mitchell more than it did
before the law went into effect this
month.
In the past the fare from Sioux
Falls to Aberdeen by the way of
Mitchell was based on the short
route by the way of Bristol and
amounted to s5.47, but under the
new rate it Is $3.50. The railroad
company has made a new ruling
whereby If a passenger takes the
Mitchell route he must pay the long
haul. although the fare by the way
of Bristol has been reduced from
s5.47 to s4.55.
The railroad company holds that
this arrangement is perfectly proper,
as during past years, where the pas
senger was given his choice of either
route for the same price, the major
ity chose the Mitchell route, while
the Bristol way is the shorter W ay
for the railroad company to haul
passengers.
Ministers under the new law have
been affected, inasmuch as under the
new ruling they have to pay the full
2 " cent fare, while in the past they
could travel for half fare.
