TWOST PAUL MEN TRY
RETURN TRIP IN CANOE

"A. l.. Noyes and John B. Fraser,
the latter a brotheJl of Fred Fraser
of this city, arrived in Bemdji Sun
day morning and after short visit
left in the afternoon by canoe for
their homes at St. Paul. They ex-
pect to complete the trip to the Capt.
tol city in about week.
Judging from the trip recently
made to the Twin Cities by John
Koors and Louis Neumann on their
way to New Orleans, the st. Paulites
are almost sure to have lots of ex-
Derience on the way. Koors and
Neuman spent at least two weeks
reaching Minneapolis and the pros
poets are good for a longer trip than
is expected by these two men from
st. Paul.

turn home. Undoubtedly they will
be rbfIk here within a few days.
Other experiences encountered
since they lett here one rainy morn

pared with this experience which has
put a decided crimp into their plans,
From all reports, however, the boys
are we'll and are little the worse
for their misfortune.
Out Of this trip, BemldJi has re-
ceived valuable publicity, which may
reap returns for. this city. Friends
here have watched the progress Of the
boys from time to time and have eX-
pressed the desire that the entire dis
lance might be covered without mis-
hap.

BRITISH COLUMBIA TO
TURN TO THE RIGHT
(By United Press)

Vancouver, B. c., July 23.---Brit-
ish Columbia is literally going to
"Turn to tho Right" commencing
the first Of the year. That means the
only sovereignty on the North Ameri-
can continent that follows the old
European custom of turning to the
left, to change it's rule Of the road
to prevent traffic confusion.
British Columbians realize It hard
enough for the average American to
turn to the left when he Is sober,
But with the government selling good
liquor at $500 a quart terrible auto
collisions are feared. For in the
tight pinch the touring American all
ways turns to the right by instinct
and meets head on with the British!
Columbian who turns to the left.
And the story goes the round hero
that after one such smashup WELL
llquored American tourist jumped
ont of the wreckage and beat up the
Canadians motorist for being or "tha
wrong side OF the road" /

i,e one of the best displays OF drausl1ters
ever seen in the United States. and Mr..
kearney is coming in for many con-
sratulations on his success in awaken
ing the owners of such horses here
abouts.
Interest on the opening day, to-mor-
row, promises to centre about the many
novice classes on the programme. These
bring together the fresh horses for the
first time and often give Il line on the
most important events OF the snow
which are to be judged later In the week.
Twenty seven novice saddle horses ana

About $50 individual horses have been
entered in this years show. Large as
the armory is, and il has stable accom-
modations for twice as many horses as

found 1t necessary to rent two big
stables in the neighborhood to house all
the aspirants for ribbons. The show
ring at the armory is larger by so feet
in length and 40 feet In width than the
old one at the Garden, while there is
such ample hitching space at the armory
that half a dozen four-in-h hand teams
and score or more of single horses
can all be assembled at the snow ring
gates without oVercrowding the paddock
enclosure. These spacious quarters will
enable the management to keep the
programme moving on schedule time, for
when the judges of a class cannot make
up their minds in the allotted period II
will be an easy matter to send them off
to one end TO debate and deliberate
while new class is called into the ring.

believes the American team from
Meadow Brook won wholly on its rner-
its in the international matches in Eng
land inst June. When asked how it
happened that their victory was SO de-
cisive he replied
my feeling was that the EngIisnmen
were entirely outclassed by our men. OF
course Milburn was the great star, and
was admitted by everybody with whom
talked to be the greatest back in
the world He was very ably assisted
by Watson Webb. When Milburn went
through, as he frequently did, Webb was
always there to cover him. Webb was
always in his proper position. using
good direction. and il is a grave ques-
ton whether he did not play the most
consistently good game of any man on
the team. The playing OF young Hitch
cock was splendid. He was very quick
his direction was surprising. and he
rarely missed the ball. Stoddard was
always Ia his place. constantly outgen-
eraliing Lockett. the opposing back, and
scored when an opportunity presented
itself. The only man, TO my mind. who
was in the same class with our men was
Lord Woodhouse. He is a fine player
and with four such as he is they would
make it very hard for US TO beat them"
How do you think the ponies com
pared?" Mr.. Hazard was asked
"Of course, II is pretty difficult to say
which lot Of ponies was the best. II is
not like comparing two ponies, but it Is
eighteen or twenty ponies on each side.
and l should say. taking them as a
| whole. there was not much difference in
the speed, but 1t seemed to me our ponies
were in better condition than the Eng
lish ponies and hand ier"
