STEAMER VIRGIE BACK.
Staunch Packet Again in Commission
After Being Overhauled.

After an absence Of five weeks, the
steamer Virgie arrived here at 8:2O
p. m. Tuesday from Morgan City,
where she was given a general over
hauling. A new hull was built out of
choicest cypress planking, 2 3-4 inches
thick, and her machinery and boiler
were repaired and the vessel repainted
all over. The work was done at
Drackett's ship-yard, and was super
jvised by the Virgie's efficient engineer,
George Fl. Chapman. The taking of
the boat through Bayou Plaquemine
and the numerous shallow, narrow and
crooked bayous forming the route to
Morgan City was a feat never before
attempted by craft drawing 1-2
feet, which is the depth of water re-
quired to navigate the Virgie. The
trip was undertaken upon the advice
Of the United States engineers, who
declared it could be made, and was
successfully accomplished through the
skillful handling Of the boat by two
experienced pilots, Wallace W. Lamb,
of New Orleans, and Clebert Berthe
lot, Of Grand Bayou. The United
States local inspectors came to Dom
aldsonville Wednesday and gave the
Virgie careful looking over, finding
her ship-shape in every respect, and
the trim little craft resumed her trips
between Donaldsonville and Burnside
Thursday morning. The Burnside and
Donaidsonville Packet Company now
have both Of their boats, the Virgie
and Ruth, in first-class condition.
President Henry c. Braud and Secre-
tary-treasurer J. P. Armitage Of the
company were passengers aboard the
Virgie on her return trip to Donald
sonviIIe.

LOCAL FAIR HONORED.
Closing Day of Jefferson Fair Desig
mated South La. Fair Day"

Sunday, Nov. rs, has been desig.
mated as "South Louisiana Fair Day
at the Jefferson Parish Fair, to be
held at Shrewsbury Nov. p to 25, in
elusive, and a program is being ar.
ranged for the occasion that should
attract crowds from the parishes max
ing up the South Louisiana Fair AS.
sociation. Excursions will be run on
different railroads.
Those who visited Jefferson's first
parish fair held last year at Gretna
were entl1used over the magnitude OF
the undertaking and the splendid re-
suits of the efforts of President Leo
| A. Marrero and his co-workers of the
Jefferson Association, These of
fcials are aiming even higher this
tyear and are confident Of again being
successful.
While the program for the closing
day has not been completed, it is cer-
tain that r. S. Vickers, secretary Of
the South Louisiana Fair Association,
will be one of the speakers. Hon.
! Walter Lemann will most likely make
an address also. Illustrated lectures,
music, dancing and a round of other
/ pleasures have been arranged and will
provide ample amusement for the
visitors while not viewing the interest
ing exhibits.
AS the Jefferson fair will be the
last to be held in Louisiana this fall,
one can picture the quality of the ex-
hibits in all lines, for the management
is bending every effort to secure the
cream of the displays made at the
|other fairs. Agriculture, horticulture,
I live stock and home products, as well
as manufacturing interests, will be
largely represented the exhibits.
The new fair gro1nds will be the
finest in the state when completed.
The sum of $3.50, 900 is being expend-
ea in the construction of buildings
and race track, and there will be ex-
tensive floor space for exhibits, as the
grandstand and paddock, as well as
the clubhouse, will be used for this
purpose, while four special fair build
|ings, particularly for live stock, hogs
and poultry, are under way. A ken
mel show will be a feature. More
than 600 thoroughbred horses viii be
quartered on the grounds, stable room
already being provided, and this will
make great display.

New Mule Stable.

Mattingly, Hudson's Sons Co., one
of the oldest established and most re-
liable firm of mule dealers doing busi-
ness in this section, have leased the
Lemann stable in Mississippi street,
opposite K. A. Aucoin's garage, and
announce that they will carry on
hand there at all times large supply
of choice sugar and rice mules, which
they will sell on liberal terms. r. P.
Spiller will have charge of the estab-
lishment, and he extends cordial in
vitation to planters and all others in
terested to call and inspect the fine
assortment of stock on hand. All
mules will be sold on trial, and posi-
lively guaranteed to be as represent
ed in every respect.

THE GREAT BASEBALL BATTLE

1t may not be unrefreshing to turn
for while from contemplation of
the tragic and sanguinary conflict
I.of arms across the seas, and devote a
bit Of attention to the somewhat less
momentous, but nevertheless exciting
struggle that begins at Chicago this
afternoon between the New York
Giants" and the Chicago "White
Sox" for the worlds baseball cham
Ipionship.
The White Sox were leaders in the
race for the American League pen
nant by score of 100 games won to
50 lost, a percentage of 649. The
Boston 'Red sox," last years world
champions, were second, with 80
victories and 62 defeats, and the
Cleveland team third, with 88 VIC
tories and sc defeats.
In the National League New York
led the seasons score with 96 victories
and 56 defeats, a percentage Of 632.
Philadelphia was second with 81 VIC
tories and IS defeats, and st. Louis
third with 81 victories and 70 defeats.
Chicago won the toss for the two
opening games, which will therefore
be played in that city today and to-
morrow. The third and fourth will
take place in New York, the fifth and
sixth in Chicago, and the SEVENTH
q seventh is necessary to decide the
contest-will come off in New Work.
The goal is four out of seven, ana the
fight will be over when either club
wins four games.
The competing teams appear to be
very evenly matched and it's toss-up
as to which wsl capture the coveted
trophy of ''the world championship"

According to George w. Cotton,

Diego store will arrive in the city

The Mary Baker Eddy memorial at
Cambridge, Mass, was today turned
dyer to The Christian Science Board
of Directors by Ebert S. Barlow Of
New York, who had charge of it's con-
struction. Over a year and half has
been required to complete it. Christian
Scientists throughout the world have
contributed, as expressions of senti-
ment, the entire cost of over $150,O00.
The memorial is of Bethel white
granite and consists of an open circu-
lar colonnade of eight columns fifteen
feet in height surmounted by a cornice
and cresting. The space inside the
colonnade is to be filled with growing
flowers. The columns rest on a stylo-
bate of three steps, which also rest,
at one side, on broad platfrom OF
Pompton pink granite and, at the
other, which is about five feet lower,
On double flight of circular steps.
These are flanked on each side by
large rylon. The pylons We're exhibit
ted short time ago at the American
Institute of Architecture in New York,
and were pronounced by several ex-
perts to be the finest pieces of carved
granite ever executed. The detail is
elaborate to an extent never before at
tempted in granite: some of the stems
and leaves are practically free-stand-
ing, so great is the relief.
interviewed regarding the memorial,
the architect, Mr.. Egerton Swartwout
of New York, said THE site is singu-
larly pleasing; in fact. l question
whether a finer site could anywhere
be found 1t can be seen from all sides
equally well, close at hand from the
cemetery road, and from a quarter OF
a mile away across the lake. Indeed,
Imperial Valley press., 1917-03-31

it is this body of water which forms
the chief beauty of the Site There is
a drop of approximately 10 feet from
the level of the road to the level Of
the lake, there being a natural terrace
on the axis of the plot which lends
itself admirably to the architectural
development of the memorial. The
lake is unusually still, and has mir
ror-like quality which reflects admir-
ably the white granite of which the
memorial is made.
CAS- to the memorial think it can
be said without contradiction that,
leaving aside entirely any artistic ex-
cellence, such perfection and delicacy
have never been attained before in
this unyielding and enduring material.
There is certainly nothing in modern
times that can approach it nor, as far
as l know, in any of the monuments
of antiquity"
Mr.. Swartwout designed the new
Missouri State capitol and the new
Feleral Building in Denver, and re-
Gently won the competition for the
new George Washington memorial.
All that now remains to be done to
complete the memorial to Mrs. Eddy
is the planting for the landscape,
which is to consist chiefly of some ev-
ergreep plants that will preserve their
form and leaves throughout the year,
and some cedars and rhOdc'lendrons.
