orono, Me, June 13.-(SpeciaD-The
trustees Of the University of Maine
transacted a great deal of business
Tuesday at their regular meeting. The
designations Of Edgar r. Wingard. Pro-
fessor of Physical Culture and director
of Athletics and Arthur N. Smith, Athle-
tic trainer and coach Of the track team
were presented and accepted.
The conditions which cause the most
excitement about these two designations
is the fact that no reasons were given
for either.
Coach Smith is quoted as follows: Il
regret very much that attempts to de-
velop something sensational of this mat
ter has resulted in misquotation of Dr.
Alley and myself, in particular that L
was quoted as saying that | preferred to
be fired rather than to resign. l SAID
nothing of the kind. AS a matter of
fact there is nothing of serious public
interest in the whole affair. / am proud
of my record at Maine, for during my
day, Maine has grown athletically from
a very insignificant position to her pres
ent high standing. My record of IA
championships in FIVE years and my
general standing speaks for itself, and
/ therefore need no alibi."

BIG CIRCUS PARADE
ALL new THIS YEAR
Procession Three Miles Long Is
Finest Ever Presented BY
Barnum & Bailey
700 HORSES AND
al ELEPHANTS

procession costing a million dol
lars will be seen on the streets of
Waterville on June 80, 1915. This is
the amount Of money that the man
agement of the Barnum & Bailey cir
Gus has expended this year on their
wonderful new parade, which is de-
clared to be entirely different from
any circus professions Of previous
years.
Some idea of the magnitude of this
wonderful cavalcade may be had from
the fact that it stretches out exactly
three miles in length and includes
more than 100 animal cages, floats,
tableau wagons and allegorical cars,
all of the newest and most elaborate
design. and entirely different from
anything used heretofore. More than
1900 persons take part in the process
sion, as we'll as 700 horses, Al ele-
plants. ana all of the menagerie ami
mails displayed in open dens.
The floats and tableau wagons are
filled with pretty dancing girls in gay
costumes, representing different ma
tionalties of the world and the parade
stretches out like a great gorgeous
panorama of the universe. Contin-
uous melody Is supplied by seven
bands and three ealliopes, and the
spectators are kept in good humor by
an army Of the funniest clowns in the
world.
The parade will leave the circus
grounds promptly at 10 o'clock, If pos
sible, and will pass through the prin-
cipal residential and business sections
of the city. A definite line Of march
will be determined by a representa-
tive of the circus and the police de-
partment on the day before the date
of exhibition. OF course. 1t is a SAFE
prediction that virtually the entire
population, big and little. will be on
hand to witness the wonderful, free
spectacle.
The Barnum & Bailey circus this
year calls itself a circus OF all ma
tions," on account Of the host OF for
eign performers who are appearing on
its program for the first time. More
than 20 different nationalties are rep
resented with the circus this season,
and each nationality is allotted spec
ial section in the street parade. the
Arabs and the Chinese represent the
Orient and this section Of the parade
is especially lavish in it's costuming
and gorgeous appearance. Russia Is
represented by troupe of Cossacks;
France and Germany by scores of per-
formers of all kinds. and there Is a
wild west section which includes most
of the champion rough riders. cow
boys, lasso experts and broncho bust
ers from the great ranches and rodeos
Of the west.-Advt.

When Tolstoy Tried to Fly.

From earliest childhood TolstOy was
remarkably observant Of the things
that were going on in the world around
him. Thus, while still In his teens, we
find him taking an interest In the art
Of flying that was too practical to suit
his devoted mother. With characters.
tic thOroughness he invented a design
Of his own and with equally character.
istic courage proceeded to put it to an
immediate test from second story
window. But the boy who was after
ward to find food for thought for the
whole civilized world was not destined
to make his mark as an infant aero
pianist. He fell instantly to the ground,
and. though by great good fortune no
bones were actually broken, the con-
cussion was so great that young Tol-
stoy afterward slept for sixteen hours
on end.

THE NORTHEAST PASSAGE.
Only Two Expeditions Succeeded In
Getting Through Il.

Most attempts Of European countries
to find a comparatively short passage
from the Atlantic to oriental countries
were by way Of the northwest passage,
north Of America, because, having first
tried the northeast passage, north OF
Europe and Asia, and in every instance
having met with dire failure, they con
centrated attention upon the northwest
passage as probably more feasible.
Practically all the arctic expeditions
from Sir John Ross to Sir John Frank
lin were fitted out most of all to find
the northwest passage. The passage
was found during the search for the
lost party of Sir John Franklin, but
1t was never trayersed by a ship till
Amundsen took his little boat, the
Gjoa, through 1t In August, 1905,
The attempts to make the northeast
passage began with the hardy Dutch
sailor Barents in 1895, whose party
was the first to spend the dark winter
night In the arctic "ln most create
cold and extreme miserie." The only
achievement Of the northeast passage
prior to Vilkitski's success In 191415
was by Baron A. E. Nordensjold. whC
sailed from Tromsoe with his Swedish
expedition in June, 1878, triumphed
over the great obstacle Of Cape Chel
yusktn and was within 120 miles OF
Bering strait when winter closed upon
him. He entered Bering strait in July
1879, thirteen months from the time he
sailed.-Cyrus G. Adams in New York
Times.
