The coming contests between
Mrs. Frances Cowells Schroth, star
swimmer from the Pacific coast,
and the various feminine stars in
the east ought to 60 a long way
toward settling the relative merits
of the water stars from the two
seacoasts.
Mrs. Schroth has accepted the
invitation of the New York Wom-
ans Swimming association for a
protracted visit in New York to
give the east a chance to see her
in action. Miss Charlotte Boyle,
Miss Ethel Bleibtrey and other
stars have asked for matches with
her.

peatedly last summer through re-
markable performances in the wa
ter. She covered 220 yards in

and dashed OF 100 yards back
stroke in 1877. All these records
were made under regulation condi.

Buck Anything.

Organization of the Rockford
Orioles, which the Rockford fans
believe to be one of the strongest
semi-pro baseball aggregations in
this part of the country, has been

est semi-pro teams in this vicinity

the Rockford Orioles the strongest
team that Rockford has ever pro.
duced.

A remunerative sport now fol-
lowed in the west, is the capture
or killing of coyotes or wolves,
whose scalps command most lib
eral state or county bounty. They
are chased in machines until evil
dence of great fatigue is manifest
ed by the slowing of their pace.
Dogs are then liberated from
crates carried in the car, to be fol-
lowed by an immediate stretch

cruel but is considered an admis-
sible sport, based upon the many
depredations of predatory animals
in stock-raising countries.

Questions and Answers.

Question-See by the papers
that John Philip Sousa the band
master, has developed into a great
trap shot. Will you please tell me
where he was born and his nation
ALT? Is he a really good shot?
MRS. D. r. WIGERT.
Indianapolis, Ind.
Answer-He was born in Ameri-
ca in the city of Washington, D. c.,
Nov. 6, 1854. His parents were
Portuguese and never developed
any musical ability. His career
was started when he was 16 years
of age, and he was leading band
at the age Of IS. He is recognized
ON the shooting circuit as a very
consistent shot, having won many
beautiful trophies in open compe-
tition. He is very partial to
shooting and has adopted target
! crushing as a favorite line of di-
| version.
Question-Does the new revis-
ion in trapshooting rules permit
women to shoot for the prizes?
Are they shooting from the same
score as the men?
| MRS. FRED AGNEW.
st. Louis, Mo.
Answer-There will be no revis-
ion of the trapshooting rules that
will bar women from contesting in
any and all events. Those who
have watched the evolution of trap
shooting have decided that women
are an essential to the success of
the sport. Their presence has the
effect of elevating any line of diver
sion to higher sphere, hence they
will receive nothing but encour-
agement at the hands of the wise
ones who are promoting the game
When a baseball magnate desires
to popularize the diamond, his first
mission is the judicious distribution
of ANNALS among femininity. Their
presence will insure crowds, a de-
light to the box Office. Women are
handicapped in major events based
upon their past shooting records.

Praise for the Richmond Symphony

The favorable comment which Musical
America" the foremost musical paper in the
United States, makes upon the first appearance
of the symphony orchestra should encourage the
players in their effort to sustain an organization
that recently was revived under suspicious cir
cumstances.
The symphony orchestra at one time was one
of the features of our city that gave to Rich
mond an undeniably large amount of commend
able notice. The excellence of the organization
was such that Richmond was envied by many
cities of much larger population.
The resumption of work by the orchestra,
even if it's membership is smaller than the old
one, marks forward stride in the musical life
of the community. Musical America" seemed
very much impressed with the fact that the men,
bers of the orchestra all residents of the
city and that there was no foreign talent in the
personnel.
The musical talent of Richmond is far beyond
that of the average city Of this size, owing pri-
mary to the development of music in our public
schools. The result of this work, which was be-
gun about twenty years ago, is now asserting
itself in the large number Of persons who either
play and sing have comprehension of good
music. The number of hgh-grade teachers of
music in Richmond also is larger than that found
in cities of this SIZE They also did their work in
instructing the youth and developing love for
music in the community.
The orchestra has been successfully launched
and there is every reason to hope that it will
remain one of the mediums through which the
musical life of the community may find express
sion we'll as being organization that will
offer opportunity for the enjoyment of concerts

Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON
SNOW


When I was young, long, long ago,
l loved to see the falling snow; but
now that | am old and bent, l do not
like 1t worth a cent. The land looks
CHASTITY, stark and dead, when over it
the snow is spread; the land where
late the roses bloomed is in it's shroud,
in snow entombed. like this good old
pleasant globe when shining verdure
forms it's robe, when grass is growing
on the hills, and Goldfish sport along
the rills; then everything seems full of
vim; l dance and shake a buoyant
limb; and if some common village
scold comes up to tell me l am old,
turn a handspring on the green, to
show that l am sweet sixteen. 1t takes
the sunshine and the breeze to timber
up dotard's knees, and make him feel
he's still on earth, creature of some
use and worth. But when he from
the window looks on naked woods and
frozen brooks, on snow wreaths whirl-
ing in a rage, he feels the burden of
his age. 1t seems to him his age must
be a thousand years, plus two or three.
And all the boys he used to know are
sleeping somwhere meath the snow :;
and colder than a miser's soul the
snow comes down, while church bells
toll a requiem for Tom or Jim-when
will the blamed bells toll for him?
Such thoughts the drifting snowflakes
bring; and SHOWS bleak and ghostly
thing.
