-WFROM ALL ALONG THE LINE. Eoard of Trade Fxcurslonists Hav- ing a Grand Time, RECEIVED WITH OPEN ARMS. The Officials of the Varioms Towns Show the Omahans the Sights and Tender Them Every FPo 8ible Courtesy. On the Road. Nonrorx, Neb., April 22.—[Correspondence of Tur Bee.| ~The first stop made by the board of trade excursionists was at Fromont. Lew May, president of the Nebraska fish commission, who had ridden from Omaha, stepped from the platform and, with severa! boon companions, disappeared in a cloud of dust. A short delay was made, and again the train sped forward, having taken on board E. Harris, superintendent of the castern division. The oficials of the Fre- mont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley, at this time on board, including the competent and gentlemanly train hande, were as follows: ‘W. C. Halsey, general superintendent; 1. T, Horn, superintendent of the South Park division; C. C. Hughes, superintendent of the Black Hills division; W. N. Babcock, general agent; Thomas Searle, conductor; D. E. Bassford, engineer; E. M. Engleorook, fireman; J. T. Thompson, baggageman; J. P. Caso and Charles Briggs, brakemen; W. A. Elrick, conductor of the Wagner sleeping cars; Charles Highwarder, lmrter in charge of same; W. Curl, porter of the Germania; Ed. Burley,porter of the Glengarry; Charles ‘Caesar, photographer; James Clark, foreman of the stage company ; Welly Williams, stage driver. Up to this point on the road the committee on arrangements—Messrs, W. N. Nason, C. ¥\ Goodman ahd H. G. Clark—were busily engaged in berthing the party, placing to- gother those whom they kuew to be con- genial and mutually desirous of each other’s company. The work.of the committee was most warmly appreciated and commwended. The party there divided into quartettes, small tables were called for, cards were produced, and the restmay be imagined. One mathematically inclined excursionist revelled with the pies in the clover until, be- coming exhausted, he fell asleep. Houper was stopped at, and the board ap- peared on the platform in dress parade to the delignt of some of the citizens of the thriving and dust-smothered little town. West Point was reacned at 3 p. m. The citizens were out en masse with the juvenile red-legged, blue-pantalooned and jacketed and of Prof. ‘man to receive them. Tho ittle fellows played with wonderful accuracy and were generally voted marvels in the wooing of the muse. John D. Neligh, mayor; William Stuefer, mayor elect, and the following councilmen and citizens: Messrs. R. F. Kloke, F. Son- nenschein, Gus Drahos, Ferdinand Koch, A. A. Campbell, I. E, Kraw and Judge Craw- ford preceded the visitors to the Neligh house, where a homely yet substantial din- ner awaited them. The viands lost none of their attractiveness because of the rapacity of the guests, or the fact that they were served by a bevy of round, red and rosy maidens, whose benuty, good-nature and at- tractiveness evoked many a hearty com- mendation. A post prandial cigar was enjoyed at the hands of Landlord Patterson, after which carriages were taken and a drive around the city indulged in. The wind was high and the dust was higher, The ride was not con- sidered a pleasure to be remembered for- ever. The creamery was visited, although the browery was slighted. ‘The former was made doubly interesting from the fact that 3t was said of it that 8,000 pounds of its pro- duct every week found a market among the retail grocers of Omaha. The paper mill, ‘which is in litigation, was closed, and was visited only by a few. The business center ‘was visited and was found alive, the curbs ing hined with not less than a hundred ams' from the country. At the depot, on motion of G. M. Hitch- ock, @ vote of thanks was tendered the citi- ens of West Point for thewr courtesy and ospitality. Judge Crawford responded and spoke of the feeling which did and should exist be- tween West Point and Omaha. The relation should be a friendly one, and Omaha should furnish West Point with about all she want- ed in both wholesale and jobbing mutters. Bat Omaha was not doing this. Chis was be- cause of the lack of connection and the rates Which rule between the two cities. It was only lately about a year ago, that these diffi- vulties had been, in a medsure, overcome. hey were not entirely removed even at the resent time. As a consequence, the mer- chants of West Point are still making their urchases at Chicago. The Northwestern ad done a great deal. Tt could do more. T'he rent necd of both towna was another road etween Omana ind West Poin’ and per- aps beyond. There was cuougn business for it. It would not-interfere with any other + road now in operation. Judge Crawford’s remarks were applauded end amid cheers the train pulled out. On board now was & committee from Wis- mer, who nud come down to escort the ex- cursionists to their little town further along the line. These were Aleck McGavock, of Omaha, who Is building a couple of iarge idences on & farm adjoining the city; A. . Graham, late candidate for state treas- wrer; F. D, Van Dorn, A. M. Hoyt, S. R. Beebe, W. Giddings and Henry Kinzel. Tho little town was reached and all its laces of interest were visited. It displayed he enterprise of metropolis in sprinkling -Ats streets, a blessing which the voyageurs pad not even imagined likely to be be- :wwl!d upon them. The ereameries, school 0uses, business places were visited, all | @voking hearty commendation. The enter- rising committoc had prepared a concise howing of the town, among which were the . faots that iv has a population of 700; the im- proveiants of 'S8 aggregated $45,000: two creumeries last year made 800,000 pounds of butter; the flouring mill has a capacity of ., 76 barrols per day; the brickyard can put out 25,000 brick daily: the city was the third An thestate toadopt a system of waterworks in the last fiscal year the two banks did a business of §3,500,000. A number of other Antoresting features challonged the admira- _tion of the metropolitans, The comwittee on reception from Norfolk ‘wis introduced after the tram had been got- ten undor way, and consisted of the follow- gng gentlemen: Rome Miller, W. H. Johnson, S. McClary, L. J. Reno, Al Bigelow, W. ., Hughos, of the News, and John Alney. At Pilger the programme was chunged so to enuble the party to view the thriving ittlo piaco from the depot platform, and to shake tho hands of the honest husbandmen nd merchants who had ussembled to meet he travelers, Btanton was reached at5p, m., and fifty parriages were placed at the disposal of the The opportunity was wmproved, and ®mround tho town, up the hills, out into the untry the guests few, the carriage of Tite BE party seeking and first gaining, after a eated drive up i steep acelivity, the highes ot over the town.

APRIL 24. 1880 bosom like a rifle tat with sheeny tile and ruddy face, renatved his youth in unloading his concords and harnessing to them his thir- teen groy and roan steeds. Both of the coaches glistened under a quintuple coat of \’ImHh. through which the beautiful gilaing, lottefing and landscape work, which had been finished but a few days before the party left, appeated doubly attractive. The body oach is painted green and the One is named aftor Jim himself, the other after Tom Potter. Jim's corps of attondants harnessed the teams under his direction, amid the wonderment of five hun- dred spectators. Old, grizzly pioneers stood around, climbed with stiffened and oreaking joints the dizzy heights w the driver's seat, deck and the stern sheets, and smiled serenely as they sniffed the air at an alti- tude which had been stange to them since the days the railroads drove the rocking Concord from the road. At length Jim filtered the ribbons through his fingers, cracked his ten-foot lash, and his six impatient grays shot off like a post- chaise in the paimy days of the Little Corpo- ral when mettlesome steeds were tested to to the uttermost. Following rolled the Pot- ter with the roans, and then came a hetero- genous mass of vehicles containing the over- flow of the guests from the rocking coaches. The excursionists were received in all parts of the town with cheers, and from a hundred rosidences handkerchiefs fluttering in the 0 and held by dainty fingers, bade wel- como to the flying column, The drive in the stiffening breeze was ox- hilerating and whon the party lined the gar- nished tables of the Pacific. it was with an appetite which the exercise had greatly sharpened. The spread was an excellent one gotten up with masterly care by aud served under the direction of Mr. Locke, of the firm of Locke & Tipple, aided by a corps of handsome and tastefully attired young ladies. Aftor supper, D. A. Holmes, president of the Business Men's association, wdlcomed the party and tendered them the freedom of tue city, an offer which was both appreciated and accepted. Later, Rome Miller, supdrintendent of the eating houses on the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road, tendered a reception at his residence to a number of the tourists, among them being W. N. Babcock, E. T. Horne, K. C. Harris, James Stephenson, C. 3ocdman, W. N. Nason, Joseph Young, Dr. Bear, Mayor Gerecke. Judge Allen, Dr. Schwenk and Tue Bee represontative. A most entertaining selection of vocal and in strumental music was rendered. In talking with John Olney, perhaps the oldest merchant in the city, it was discov- ered that Norfolk is now purchasing per cent of her goods in Omaha. Six yeurs ago she purchased almost everything in Chicago. The change which these six years have mede, Mr. Olney claims are not regretted by the people of Norfolk, and he thinks there is no reason why it should be otherwise than a source of felicitation to the people of Omaba, Cantain Palmer, of Plattsmouth, joined the excursionists at this place, 1 o'clock ‘T'uesday morning. The er has returned from the town. Some of the party are retiring. Others are sleeping as if in childhood, and the train is leaving Norfolk in the rear, to enable us to breakfast in the Long Pine Chautanqua at 6 o'clock. E. A, O'Briex. How Deadwood Will Treat Thom. “The Deadwood board of trade has made extensive prearations for recciving and en- tertaining the Omaha visitors, Committees have been appointed on reception and ban- quet, on escort to the belt, and on finance. President Miller has tendered the courtesies of the Deadwood Central road. A committee will be sont with tho visitors over as much of the country as possible, including a tour of Ruby and Bald Mountain_districts, and a ride over the Homestako railroad, and on the return_on Saturday evening a banquet will be held. L The Arrival at Long Pine. Loxe Pixe, Neb., April 23.—|Special Tele- gram to Tug Bre.]—The excursion train containing the board of trade arrived here this morning on schedule time—6 a, m.—and partook of an elegant breakfast at the rail- road hotel. Just upon their arrival the east bound train pulled in having on board 100 Sioux Indians and squaws under the charge of Major Burke, business managor for Buf- falo Bill. He expeoted to meet the excur- sionists here and the first thing ho did wasto call out for O'Brien, Tne Brk correspond- ent, and when found they arranged the In- dians and marched them up and down the platform and the Indians let out one of their characteristic war whoops which caused a little commmotion among the members of the board. fThe excursionists were well enter- tained by the citizens, who had carriages and busses for their conveyance uround the city, and all wont down to the Chautaugua grounds and rambled through the woods for tv:o and a half hours and partook ot the noted Long Pine water, They were agreeably surprised at the beautiful scenery and heavy wooded canons, They remained bere three and a balf hours, and examined the three roller mills, water works und soil, and seemed to be well pleased with the entertammont and in- terest tendered them by our citizens, and the latter, in return, are well pleased with the good nature and cordiality of the Omaha men, 8o that if every town along the iine will feel as ploased Omaha will not lose anything by this interest taken in northern Nebraska. At Chadron, Onapkow, Neb., April 23.—[Special Tele- gram to Tie Bee.|—The Omaha board of trade arrived atsSo'clock p. m,, two hours behind schedule time. The train was met by the Business Men's club of Chadron, and wera welcomed by William Wilson, chair- man. The party took supper, after which troductions and hand-shakings were in order. Sutton’s cornet baud, of Ainsworth, sere- paded the visitors, who left for Cusper, Wyo., at 9:30 p. m., and will return to-mor- row at4 o'clock p. m., to remain all night. The party will then b driven around the city.

LIABLE T0 GET RIPPED UP. Is It Dangerous to Bore For Natural Gas? THE EARTH LIKE A BALLOON. P Curious Speculation As to the Nature of Haze—What Produces Des- erts?—The Best Fire Resiste ers—In Scientific Fields. The Work of Modern Chemistry. Some years ago, in the course of a conversation with an eminent mathe- matician, says Prof. Ira Remsen Sarpa in the Popular Science Monthly, I asked in all seriousness whether he could give me a definition of mathe- matics that would convey to my mind even a faint idea of the object in view in mathematical investigation. He re- plied, ‘It is impossible to give such a definition—as impossible as it is in the case of chemistry.” “But,”said I, “I think I can give a definition of chem 1stry which would have some value;” and then, with a little time to think, I suggested a definition, which elicited this remark: “I could certainly give an equally bald definition of mathe- matics.” I have frequently thought of this subject since, and have won- dered whether it is possible -to conyey to the minds of those who are not chemists a clear iden in re- gard to the work chemists are doing. The difficulties are great—as great, I suppose, as in the case of mathematics; for chemists are no longer engaged in the study of familiar phenomena, but are denling with matters which lie far beyond the limits of ordinary observa- tion. © Still, I have thought it worth while to make the attempt, and it has seemed to me that I might accomplish my object best by calling attention o a fow of the most important discoveries which have recently been made in the field of chemistry, and making such comments upon them asmay serve to indicate what relations exist between these discoveries and the science as a whole. What Is KElectricity? This question, says the Electrical ‘World, has, from the very beginuing, given rise to speculation 1n the mirds of all who have bestowed attention on the subject, but even the brightest in- tellects of the present day are them- selves unable to furnish a satisfactory answer. The prevailing theory, how- over, in which the ether is brought into consideration as the medium of trans- mission for electrical disturbances, has given the best satisfaction of any thus far proposed, but discontent lurksin some quarters, and there is a desire to see! for other means of ex- plaining the phenomena of electrical action. In another column a contribu- tor secks to overcome the objections, by reducing all electrical action to-a chem- ical origin, and the manner in which tho idea is carried out will prove of in- terest, if not conclusive. The idea em- bodied by Mr. Salom would give rise to the inquiry whether, as a fact, the molecules of water are thus disassociated in the upper regions of the atmosphere, and in the absence of any proof of this fact, we are not inclined to believe that such is the case. {'he theory of Mr. Salom would also require more proof in other directions, and hence we take it as the expression of an idea, rather than as the enunciation of a working theory. Curiosities of Natural Gas. Prol. Joseph F. James, writing on the subject of natural gas, in the Popular Science Monthly, says; One writer asks whether "*is safe to bore the earth too much. He . _umes the earth to be a hallow sphere filled with gaseous substance, called by us natural gas, and ho thinks that tapping these reservoirs will cause disastrous explo- sions, resulting from the lighted gas coming in contact with that which escapes. Barthquakes, he says, are probably caused by vacuums, created by the overflowing.gas. He compares the earth 1o a balloon floated and kept dis- tended by the gas in the interior, which, if exhausted, will cause the crust to col- lapse, affect the motion of the eart in its orbit, cause it to lose its place among the heavenly bodies, and fall in pieces. Another writer thinks that boring should be prohibited by stringent laws. He, too, thinks there is a possibility of an explosion, though from another cause. Should such a disaster occur, *‘the country along the gas belt from Toledo through Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky will be ripped up to the depth of twelve or fifteen hundred feet, and flopped over like a pancake, leaving a chusm through which the waters of Lake Lrie will come howling down, filling the Ohio and Mississipi valleys and blotting them out forever.” Still another theorist has investi- gated the gas wells with telephones aund delicate thermometers, and he an- nounces startling discoveries. He dis- tinguished sounds like the boiling of roclks, und estimated that a mile and a half or so beneath Fiedlay the tempera- ture of the earth is 3,500 degrees. This seientist says an immense cavity exists under Iindlay, and that hera the gas is lored; that a miie below the bottom of the cavity is a mass of roaring, seeth- ing flame, which is gradually eating into the rocky floor of the cavern and thinning it. Eventually the flames will rench the gas, a territfic explosion will ensue, and Findlay and its neighbor- hood will be blown skyward in an in- stant. Such are some of the theories gravely propounded in respect to this new fuel. Lingual Statistics. Prof. Kirchoff, of Halle,says the Phil- adelphin American, estimates that the language most spoken on the globe, for the lusy thousand years at least, is Chi- nese, for it is without doubt the only one which is talked by over 400,000,000 of the human race; the next, language most in use (but at a very great distance behind Chinese) .being Hindustani, spoken by over 100,000,000, Then follow Euglish (spoken by about 100,000,000), Russian (over 70,000,000), German (over 57.000,000), and Spanjsn (over 47,000, 000). What Is flaze? There has of late been much dis- cussion as to the nature of the curious haze which is often seen in Alpine and other parts of the old world., This haze, most distinet at morning and evening, does not seem to be cloud-like iu its nature, for it is evidently not composed of watery vapor. It has been suggested that it is smoke, but there are vo forest trees in that region such as yield theabundant smoke often found in this country. M. Antoine d’Abbadie suggests that such peculiar haze abounds in many countries, and that it has special pames in Portuguese, in Spanish, in the Basque language, in Kthiopian, German and elsewhere. He FAY notes the intefesfing fact that the Ethiopians comprrotit with smoke, but regard it as distiret from it. 1. A’Apbadiowgmecs with Prof. Tyn- dall that this 6Qrtsus haze commonly appears in horizonjal lagers, often of o similar form. ‘“‘omu the fact that the Ethiopian s rs, 1n commenting on the tenth chypisr of Exodus, state that the darknesa freferred to in the twenty-second verse was an intense form of this hazsy y which they give the name of ol ’&l‘ hey furthermore explain that the*Ylight nn{g}y d by the children of Isra&F"4s fuily borne out by the fact that the'ddbar may sometimes be present in ong . pace and absent in another. The leapned writer suggests that this Alpine haze is only dry air, which, as is well known to astronomers, is less transparent than very moist air. He apparently regards these hazy layers as bands of air exceptionally free from watery vapor. Last of all, ho notes the inteéresting fact that the natives of countries in which the qobar abounds, are remarkably swarthy, and he asks the question whether or not it operates to darken men’s skin. This suggestion is probably of no value ex- cept for its amusing nature. Thata haze, which is always high above the earth, could serve in any way to darken men’s skins, when ‘we Kknow that such darkening is sufficiently effected by the sun’s rays alone, is the very extremity of speculation. It is worth while, says the New York Sun, for our observers in this country to make some study of this peculiar haze. It probably occurs in the moun- tainous parts of America, as well as elsewhere; or,. if it is wanting in our country, that fact of itsell will be an important observation. A New Process of Embalming. A Chicago man has been experiment- ing upon a body at the morgue with some powder which he says was used by the ancient Egypttang in embalming their dead, says the New York Times. Monday the body was placed in a box and the alleged discoverer of the Egyp- tian embalming process produced a clay- colored powder on a plate and set fire to it. This was put into the box and the cover was screwed on. After six hours the box was opened and the operation was ropeated. Wednesday the body still seemed to be in a fair state of Eresorvntion. The man said that he ud a body in Chicago that has thus been preserved for ten months, and that is long enough for it to be taken all round the world. The cost of this embalming, he said, was only 50 cents. Why Are Deserts Rocky and Sandy? The answer is that without vegeta- tion there is no such thing as soil on earth anywhere. The top layer of the land in all ordinary and well behaved countries is composed entirely of vege- table mold, the Qecn,yin;z remains of innumerable weeds and grasses. Earth to earth is the rule of* nature. Soil, in fact, consists ontlyely of dead leaves. and where therg are, no leaves to dio and decay there can be no mold or soil to speak of. Darwin' showed, indeed, in his last great hook that we owé the whole earthly coyering of our hills and plains almost entiraly; to the - perennial exertions of that (friend of the farmers, the harmless, necessary earthworm. Yeay after year the Zsilent worker is busy every night! pulling down leaves through his tunneled,. purrow into his underground nest; and there converting them, by means of hiscastings, into the biack mold whicli-_ reduces in the end for lordly man all-his cultivable fields and pasture lands and meadows. Where there are no leaves and no earth worms, therefore, there can be no soil, and un- der those circumstances we get what we familiarly know as a desert. The nor- mal course of events, where new land rises above the sea, 18 something like this, as oceanic isles have sufficiently demonstrated. The rock, when it first emerges from the water, rises bare and rugged like a sea cliff. No living thing, animal or vegetable, is harbored on 1ts naked surface. In time. however, as rain falls upon its jutting peaks and barren pinnacles, disintegration sets in, or, to speak plainer English, the rock crumbles, and soon streams wash down tiny deposits of sand and mud thus pro- duced, into the valleys and hollows of the upheaved area. At the same time lichens begin to spring in yellow patches upon the bare face of the rock. A London Strect-Sweeper. A new machine for sweeping the streets and automatically elevating the sweepings intoa cart in front of it, while traveling, says the London Times, was exhibited in operation yesterday on several city streets. Tt consists'of a series of horizontal brushes fixed on a pair of endless chains, revolving around spindles. These brushes sweep the mud up a short incline into a receiver, which is continued upward as a thin iron casing. Inside this casing is a series of scoops or buckets fixed on end- less chains and these dip into the re- ceiver and lift the mud to a delivery shoot, whence it is delivered into an ordinary mud cart, to the rear of which the apparatus is connected in such a way that it is easliy removed. When the cart is full the sweeping mechanism is de- tached from it and attached to an empty cart, the full one being senton its way to discharge its contents and return. The apparatus is mounted on traveling wheels and motion is imparted from themto the mechanism by geari The machina does its work in a cleanly and practical manner. The Best Fire Resisters, Investigations of fire ruins show that porous terra cotta bricks and blocks best resist fire, water and frost; nextto these in the order of fige-resisting qualitics being the various congretes, or some of them, and burned yelay work. In the best building work now done the iron part is incased in7'podous terra cotta, tile or brick work in reof, floor. and tile construction; the Kollow tiles are faced with vitreous tile, .slaje or any good weather-proof coating,or with a single thickness of brick. Incased in fire- proof materials, iron steel frame- work is claimed WE the best results. Secretary Blaing's Fortune, Secretary Blaind i4 a much richer man than he is gewerally credited with boing, says a Washington special to the Philadelphia Newé: “Fle is move than a millionaire. Probubly the luckiest in- vestment Mr. Blaire €ver made was in the Little l[uPa mine at Leadville, Col., which has alone made the secretary rich. That mine has paid 4,500,000 dividends in the last five years, of which large sum Mr. Blaine’s share has been about one-seventh. *“That mine appears to be misnamed,” said a friend to him recently, “it should be called Great Hope instead of Littie Hope.” *Yes,” replied the sacruu\r{ *Great Hope would be better, I have already got from that mine $1,800 for every one in- vested, and have the stock left.” Mr. Blaine is ulso a large stockholderin the Pride of Erin mine at Leadville, which is paying divends of 725,000 a month. ——— The Ragan illustrated lectures.

An Interesting Programme With Plonty of Good Music and Bet- ter Fare Than Eating Sta- tion Sandwiches. A Successful Entertainment. A glaring, dazzling locomotive headlight stared you In the face, last night, as you dashed around the first curve of the big stairway of the Young Men’s Christian As- sociation building. It almost blinded you for a moment. Then it was passed. You weroe on the platform—the second landing of the stairway. “‘Tickots!" There was a vision that made you think you had dreamily got aboard of a train. A conductor with a red lantern. Then you began to realize where you were. The conductor and his red lantern and his “‘tickets" was a chalk sketch, in a_back- fimund of black paint over a large board. ou have, perhaps, seen similar boards in a pool room, if not, and if your memory is not defective, you have had your attention called to them when you attended school. When you left the platform on the last stairway, you were handed a pass. It was a gort of little pamphlet, containing about a dozen pages. It was quite lengthy and ro- sembled a pass that the railroad com- panies give newspapers mnowadays. It was a ticket and used as a rogramme. 1t was also a way bill and a ill of fare, with a palace car porter beauti- fully engraved in black on a wood cut. The railroad men of Omaha had side- tracked from the yards and depots to the Young Men’s Christian association. They were not running a train. The association was running them. They had been ivited to a reception. It was a magnificent affair. ver eight hundred peoplo were there, The railroad men and their friends were received by the reception committce at 8 o'clock. The committee was com- osed of J. B. Caldwell, chairman; Ka, L. Stone, sccrotary; T. P. Cramer, A. M. Hopkins, Silas Cobb, J. A. Beck, A. M. Joplin, C. R. Ball, k. Jones, Wallace Beals, S. . Bostwick, W. Fischer, Fred Cain, W, S. Heller, C. Williamson, E. C. Wilbur and the general secretary, George C. Jenner, who was assisted by H. W. Scha- schice. J. B. Caldwell, chairman of the reception committee, delivered the address of wel- come after the visitors were ushered into the concert hall. T. H. Taylor was master of ceremonics, and after a brief talk Mrs. Lippincott was introduced to render a piano solo. It was received with much approbation as well as a vocal solo by Miss Penuock which followed, She was ac- companied by Miss Fitch who sang **Cows are In the Corn” in a_ gratifying manner. After this Mr. Wiedensall made a general talk about the asseciaiion, its achievements accomplishments. Miss Myra Gould, an elo- cutionist, delivered a recitation and Charles R. Carlson cleverly did a tenor solo. A. E. Merris did himself credit as a violinist in a s0lo and this part of the entertainment con- cluded with a club swinging act by Prof. J. T.Gwathmey, the gymnasium instructor. This was the feature of the con- cert hall exercis Looking over the next leaf of the pros gramme you heard a porter yell “Thirty minutes for refreshments,” or you saw the lines in cold but fancy type staring you in the face. A grand rush was made for the dining ball. A neat bill of fare, or bill of lading, as they called it, was handed you, which an- nounced that you would get ‘‘sand soup,”’ “bad breaks,” etc. However, this was en- joyed and the guests wore ushered into the Rvmnasrum, where an exhibition in athletic exercises was given. The exhibition was one of the tinest and most artistic ever’ given in the gymnasium. It was enjoyed im- mensely, and on Imany contests the ladics were very enthusiastic for their ‘‘Harry, their *George,” their “Willie,” etc. The exercises consisted of a dumb-bell drill, led by Larry Denise, high kicking, high jump- ing, far and high diving, broad jumping, tumbling, horizontal and parallel bar exer- cise. The high jump was made by Fred S. Roobins, whose leap was 5 feet 7 inches in the air. ' Henry McCormick won the prize on a 12 foot 3 inch “for dive jump.” Ou the high dive Burt Cook was victorions. He ‘went over the pole at 6 feet. The distance jump was won by Z. T. Zimmerman. The entertainment was over at 11 o'clock, and the railroaders had *30" sprung on them. sOUTH AHA. Attempted to Shoot.
