La Vie de Paris"
Ends Newman's Travel Talks.
AN illustrated lecture on Paris,
"A city of many moods. La Vie de
Paris" the last Of Mr.. z. M. New
mans lectures this season, was given
yesterday afternoon at the National
Theater before large audience.
Beginning with a few slides on the
new boulevards of the French capt.
tai, the audience was then swept
along the streets for glimpse OF
the sights of the city under sunny
skies, and with the sidewalks clut-
tered with chairs and tables where
Parisians sit and enjoy their meals.
Motion pictures next brought
strange views of the city under
sullen skies with cloudy and stormy
weather, which, strange to say,
tends to bring the Partisan out to
promenade the boulevards rather
than to stay by the firsside.
The Prix des Drags, the most
fashionable race of the year, was
shown by Mr. Newman, and proved
a veritable fashion show Tor my laoy:
A visit to the Louvre disclosed
the famous paintings and sculpture
of this gallery and brought an
amusing sorry by Mr.. Newman OF
a young bride, who, all her life had
wanted to visit the Louvre, and after
spending some time in Paris finally
devoted 40 minutes TO the great gal
lery of masterpieces.
A trip along the Seine to the Isle
de la Cite, where Paris was born
when the Romans started a settle
ment many years ago, was followed
by many interesting sights on the
Avenue Foch, in the Etoile and In
the Bots.
Offered in contrast, pictures OF
Paris were shown that were taken
years ago by Mr.. Newman.
Mr.. Newman carried out his
imaginary travel idea even to bring
ing his audience home on one OF
the palatial liners that ply between
the United States and France. and
left it with a much wider knowledge
of Europe than II had before nus

charge of that particular clinic, and
instructions were given for the care
of the child.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
JOIN in FAIR PROGRAM
Mr.. Speicher is Certain of Sue
cess if Plans Can be Made With
Local Fraternities
MANAGER is ENTHUSIASTIC

With a determination to lay plans
for a successful Agricultural Fair for
1881, Henry M. Speicher, manager of
the association, was in Oakland yes
terday for the purpose of working
out plans whereby the Annual Knights
of Pythias picnic, held for many years
ON Labor, Day, would be postponed
this year to September II, when on
the third day of the fair the Knights
would be in charge of the program as
well as the grounds, and would stage
their annual affair at that time.
In connection with the program for
the Fair, Mr.. Speicher pointed out
that it was his desire to make the
1881 attractions the greatest success
financially and socially of any held in
Garrett county, and continuing he
stated that if an agreement could be
reached with the local Lodge of
Knights of Pythias, wherein they
would agree to hold their annual cele-
bration on regular fair day, he felt
positive that everyone concerned
would be materially benefited.
Mr.. Speicher has already had some
discussion with Neil Fraley, manager
of Proctor Kildow Post American
Legion Drum and Bugle corps con-
corning Legion Day at the fair,
which is expected to bring at least
fifteen drum and bugle corps to Oak
land on the last day of the agricultu-
raj exhibition. However, detailed ar
rangements for the Legion Day hinges
on the decision made by the K. of P.'s
and the Legion, it was stated.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Speicher,
that providing a program is worked
out by the three organizations in con-
nection with the 1881 Fair, and using
the second day of the entertainment
as School Day, the largest and great
est Fair in the history of the Asso-
citation will be brought to a close on
the night of September 10, when the
Knights of Pythias would award their
usual prize and the association would
pay their premiums.
Nothing definite can be arranged
until tomorrow night, when at regu-
lar meeting of the Knights of Pythias,
the proposition made by Mr.. Speicher
will be taken up for discussion, it was
stated this morning.
Pointing out that Garrett county is
expected to have one of the largest
crops raised on the mountain top for
a number of years, the manager was
enthusiastic in his remarks concerning
the promised success of the 1881 Fair.

disbanded on Third street near the
celebration grounds.
Probably the second feature of the
parade was two musical organiza-
lions of Oakland which recently ac-
quired new NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Boys Band and the Legion drum and
bugle corps. Both organizations made
a splendid showing and received much
applause and favorable comment upon
their appearance.
The crowd at the grounds.following
the parade on the 4th was enormous,
but was we'll taken care of and no
accidents of a serious nature were
reported during the two days, but
this fortunate circumstance was due
to the good craftsmanship of one Of
the marshals of the parade, Mr.. W..
H. limbaugh, who narrowly escaped
serious injury when some thoughtlesS
person exploded giant torpedo i'm
mediately beneath his horse IN the
most congested portion of the town.
The animal reared straight up and
it was only the riders nerve and good
management of his mount that he
prevented it from boiling through the
crowd of men, women and children,
which is another argument in favor of
prohibiting the sale and firing of ex-
plosives within the limits of the town
which fact will likely be brought TO
the attention of the City Council at an
early meeting of that body.
, Lieut.. N. 1. Fooks, 1st Tank Regi-
ment, U. S. Army, and William A.
Thorn, Midshipman 1st class, were
the judges of the drum and bugle
corps in the line of parade.
