The officials of Tampa played a heroic part in the| revolutionary days, aiding the strug- gling colonists in the most adroit way, landing supplies, which were immediately sent on to the vigorous young Spanish Governor of Louisiana, | Don Galv who sold them to the agent of the Continental Congress, Oliver Pollock, for shipment up the Mississippi, thince over the Ohio to Fort Pitt, ther irland to the Colonial Army. After the surrender of Corn- wallis, the Hritish fleet sent to ald him, arriviug too late, promptly shelled Tampa and forced the capitt lation of its garrison. Senor de Riano was also the guest of the old city of St. Augustine and he and Senora de Riano were given -a reception in the Venerable fort, called Fort Marion since the British occupation. This ancient fortification is the most mas- sive in the new world, shelters the museum, has extensive reading and meeting rooms for the historical so- cieties of which former Senator Chauncey Depew is president, while its fine roof affords a favorite prom- enade overlooking the bay. Rear Admiral Robert Edward Coontz, commander-in-chief of the American naval forces at sea, has just completed & most exciting war game, in which one- half the Navy attacked the other half Just off the Golden e. But the ad- miral, like all other military authorities, acknowledges that nothing is proved, since the fight was not under war con- ditions, namely, that the attacking fleet would have had to cross the widest ocean in the world to reach California and would no doubt have been badgered by airplanes and submarines every inch of the way. But it was a thoroughly spirited game, and Admiral Coontz and his men, victors and vanqui ed every minute of it. This se: lord was born in Mark Twain's own town, Hannibal, Mo., and all his life he has been denying that he is the original of “Tom Sawyer,” though scme of the exploits of his youth tallied with Mr. Clemens’ hero. But young Coontz had not t entered this vale of tears when Sam and his crew made life miserable but lively far the denizens of Hannibal. In fact, he was born just as the famous pllot of the Mississippi began to rise over the literary horizon. Of course, he devoted to the Mark Twain legend and knows his illustrious former fellow townsman in the most intimate way, from books and from the tales of his nefghbors. When Hannibal honored the most eminent of American writers by taking over his former home and buying a park to surround it, Admiral Coontz was among the native sons invited to the celebration. He is a Pike County Missourian of the stanchest losalty. stu d at Palmyra and then in the col- lege at Hannibal and went from that in- stitution to Annapolis.

Blantyre lies near enough to Belvoir Terrace to make daily golfing as easy for the owner as sitting down to breakfast. It was named for a village in Scotland, dear to Mr. Carnegie and Mr. Paterson be- cause it was the birthplace of David Livingstone, the explorer, for whom both had a fervent admiration and affection. It lies near some of the famous places of Lenox, among which the big estate of the Goelets, owned equally at present by the Duchess of Roxburghe and her brother Robert ‘Walton Goelet; Holmwood, the Sum- mer home of Mrs. Raymond T.

As these seekers after strange beasts and unknown birds and flora will be practically in the hands of their guides, their new names are easy for the Chinese tongue and under uch the dispatches telling of their adventures will no doubt find a place |in the daily press. Indeed, it will be | rather a difficult matter for them to lay aside the Suto and Komi, but they may be called that in their own particular circle for years to come. The name of Roosevelt temporarily laid aside might have proved one to conjure with even in the outposts of civilization whither the two elder of the twenty-sixth President bound, but Triendly advice led to a contrary belief. The re- sults of this expedition will, how- ever, never be seen in Washington, something which many regret.

Helena Normanton had a merry tussle with Secretary Hughes when she insisted on having the American consul in London make out her passport in her maiden name, ignoring her lawful spouse entirely. But she finally won her point, and it is easy to see the present small but active champions of this reform beating down the rules which have hitherto held at the State Department.

Sir Robert Peel, who has succeeded to the title within the past month, was formerly in the Scots Guard, but getting into debt was sold out and he acted for several years as the front-of-the-house-man- ager of a cynema theater in London while his wife obtained lucrative em- ployment in various of the New York revues.
