in the decoration for longevity, largely
for the reason that il does not fall of
the tree like other fruits; it keeps on
hanging until a man comes along and
cuts il off, There is another reason also.
The Japanese name for the fruit is daiddi,
and the japanese expression for "from
generation 10 generation" is also ddiddi,
phonetically the same. And our ancestors
used 10 take inordinate delight in all sorts
Of quaint ways TO voice their sentiments.
The lobster, which serves Broadway humor
with such perennial distinction, here is
worked into the New Years decoration
by the japanese to signify longevity.
Why? How? Simply because when man
bends at the waist as a lobster does he
must Of necessity count many, many
winters. That, at least, is the conceit
there. And the dried fronds Of seaweed
worked into the design symbolic the final
conquest Of man in his battles against the
waves and storms Of life.
And the end is not yet. For after the
decorations comes food-a great deal of
it and many kinds of it. japanese are
hospit; bic by nature. Their outstanding
national weakness is extravaganza in dis
play--not ir personal and selfish adorn-

question Of decorations. Pine trees in
every case and, in most, pine combined
with bamboo decorate either side Of the
front gate to every house in the empire.
Rich and poor, there is no exception to
this. Pine at New Years in japan is,
therefore, mucn more imperative than the
Christmas trees in Christian America on
December 25. And in most Of the Jap
anese homes one sees over the gateway or
over the entrance TO a house festoon Of
rice straw, with white paper pendants,
called Shimena,ca, which is the universal
Shinto symbol Of conservation. At the cen
ter Of the festoon there is an ornamental
composition made Of a Seville orange,
which the Japanese call ddiddi, bit Of
edible seaweed and a boiled lobster, Civ
ing it daring dash Of color. Not only
the gateway but every room must be
decorated, as well as purified and renovat-
ed. All this takes an untold lot Of hand
labor and time. Tn the good old days
land they were good as well as old in this
respect) when Japan was the champion
market Of cheap labor. this sort Of thing
did rot make much OF an impression in a
mans bank account. To-day It digs a hole
in il like a volcanic crater Of Mount Full.

 The three nights play left little doubt that Cochran is inferior to Young Jake" but the San Francisco lad gave the champion several scares. not so much through his own good work as through Schaefer's poor work the first two nights.
 Champion Isegains Form.
 Last night however, he recovered his form and played good game. His efficiency does not show in the score for it was remarkable general ship, position play and ability to get out of bad holes that brought almost continuous applause when he was clicking points.
 Towards the end he literally toyed with Cochran, electing to play almost impossible shots when he had easy ones. Only once did he fail on these and Cochran then jumped in and ran 166, but Schaefer soon clinched the match.
 The Averages.
 Schaefer's average for the three nights was 3S 4-52, while last night 1t was 35 10-14. His high run was POP. Cochrans three night average was Sl 31-42 and last night he averaged 31 11-13, high high run was 166.
