The ciass of Great Danes was unusually weak. In the dogs Ivan IT beat Charles D in the open and took the first winners' with the same dog as reserve. King R, the first-prize winner of the novice class, seemed to be smaller in his hindquarters than the reserve winners, and might with- out injustice have beaten Charles D for that place.

One reason for this is due no doubt to the fact that the mountains and valleys never looked more beautiful than at the present time, the abundant | winter rains having developed a greater { amount of new foliage than ever before | known in these regions. The excursionists should bear in mind the following: That the train will be personally con- ducted and under the supervision of Mr. William H. Menton, the Sputhern Pacific Company’s well-known passenger agent; also, that those desiring to svend their time at any of the well-known camping resorts located on the line of the Narrow Gauge can do so and take the excursion train, which_will ston for them on the return trlr.

Through the school and through the world, whithersoever his strange fortune led this erring, wayward, affectionate creature, Joseph Addison was always his head boy. Addi- son wrote his exers 's. Addison did his hest themes. He ran on Addison's massages: fagaed for him and blacked his shoes; to be in Joe's compary was Dic greates: pleasure, and he took & sermon or caning from his monitor with the most boundless reverence, acquiescence and affection, | From the Charter House Addison passed to Oxford at the age of 15, distinguished 2s a hoy scholar. His residence at Ox- ford as student, scholar and fellow lasted ten vears: In fact, he did not resign his fellowship until 1711. During his univer- sity career he attracted the attention of Montagu, afterward Earl of Halifax, by indicating in poems that he wrote his ad- miration for \Whig leaders and doctrines. Montagn dissuaded him from entering the church and induced him to fit himseif for statesmanship. Procuring a pension for Addison, Montagu sent him to travel in France, Ttaly and Holland. He remained abroad three vears studying political in- stitutions. meeting famous men of letters and observing the manners and tastes of the peoples he visited. The chief literary results of his travels were a metrical let- I T R R light at finding himself in places made dear to him by his studies in the classics —and the famous hymn beginring: When all thy merc! My rising soul surveys. Travsported with the vfew I'm lost In wonder, love and praise. This clings to the memory like the lines of another hymn of his, written of the stars: Forever singing as they shin The hand that made us is divine Addison's work as an essayist appeared in the Tatler, Spectator, Guardian and Freeholder, periodicals which followed one another the vears from 1709 to 1716 confains his best work. The first number was issued March 1, 1711, and the paper appeared every weekday. It was eagerly read at the clubs and coffee houses, as well as in the homes, and when the es- says were collected into volumes numer- ous editions were necessary to supply the demand. ' Nearly one-half of the Specta- tor papers were written by Addison. The variety of topics treated is very the essays was to improve the publi taste, to make literature attractive, to i struct while =ntertaining. ‘to bring p losophy out of closets and libraries to dwell in clubs and coffee houses.” Party politics was excluded. The first Specta- tor says: “I rever espoused any party with violence. snd am resolved to observe an_exact neutrality between Whigs and Tories. unless I shall be forced to declare myself by the hostilities of either side. In short, I have acted in all the parts of my life as a looker-on, which is the character T intend to preserve in this pape The Spectator hoped “to banisk vice and ignerance out of the territories of Great Britain;” it attacked with good- humored satire the minor vices and follles of. the time and made them ridiculous. To women readers the Spectator gave the first hearty recognition accorded them in the history of our literature. It brought & new interest into their liv by its min. ute observations on manners and quiet ridicule of extravagant fashions. Addi son’'s humorofls satire is seen at its best in the description of Sir Roger de Cover- ley, the typical country gentleman of the time. In the portraits of Sir Roger and the other members of the famous club contemporary life is pretty complete- ly described. Taine finds in these sketches the beginning of the realistic novel which appeared full-formed before the eighteenth century was half over. The critical papers in the Spectator are char- acterized by Ereat moderation of judg- ment, the moral essays put forward a rea- sonable and cheerful view of duty. and the influence of both is plainly to create a timent against narrowness and rancor mh@ discussion of subjects on which men are likely to differ most strongly. It has been said that Addison's greatest work was a work of reconciliation. Macaulay refers to this when he speaks of Addison as “the great satirist who alone knew how to use ridicule without abusing it: who. without inflicting a_wound., effected a great social reform. and who raconciled wit and virtue after a long and disastrous separation, during which wit had been led astray by wm cy and virtue by fan- aticism.” e Spectator did not speak in denunciation of intolerance: it sgr!nd abroad a spirit of urbanity and good hu- mor, instead. It created a healthy and sensible public GpinioiA on matters of re- ligion, literature and life. The mistake is sometimes made of as- t Addison entertained no in- ter of Spectator he wrote without inten- sity. But Addison had a higher art than argumentation and intense diction by which to effect his purpeses. There had been more than enough controversy on all the subjects which Addison touched with evident calmness in the Spectator. There s meed of a respite from flerce conten- tion, and Addison's prose came as a re- lief. The prose of the preceding century shows two extremes. That of scholars ke Milton, writing for scholars, was based on the Latin model and was char- acte: by long, Involved and compre- hendlve sentences. That of the journal- ists. whose number greatly increased to- ‘ward the close of the century, was coarse, colloquial and intentionally slovenly. It is caricatured in the Tatler for Septem- ber 28, 1710, from which a sentence or two will serve to illustrate: 3 ,Tis sald the French King will Bessboca e wi causes many speculations. and others of that kidney are very nm’“’afl alert upon °t, as you may see by £ the long friendship with Steele, of which | ter to Halifax—in which he expresses de- | in _rapid succession during | The Spectator | great. but the professed purpose of ail | = by Seymour Eaton. ——— GOLDEN AGES OF LITERATURE., Addison’s prose is free from scholastie cism, but {n becoming Fopuln.r it remains | pure.

SIR ROGER DE COVERLEY. BY CHARLES F. McCLUMPHA, PH. D, | Addison and Steele butlded greater than | they knew. It was certainly impossible | for those two essayists, from their point | of view, fully to understand the latent forces centered in that new project about to be issued in the columns of the Spec- | tator. For our point of view wa can ex- plain why the Spectator was given to the | world in Mareh, 1711. We can understand | why the half-century preceding the reign | of Queen Anne resulted in the great | litical struggle between two radically op- | posed parties. one desiring government by constitutional methods, the other gov- ernment by an absolute monarch; and why the periodical under such conditions | became a powerful weapon in the hands | of party leaders. We can also unravel the social fabric and study the influence ! | | § | § i D S S L o of the political struggies on the sacial life of the time We know that party spirit. yea hatred, ran high. Society was actually at war. Tories attacked Whigs; the established church, the dissenter; the moderate Tory. the non-jurors, and_the Catholics were hated by all parties. Such religious and political animosities caused social divisiors, and it was necessary for something to step in and reason with and ridicule such an impossible state of so- ciety. This was the Spectator. This all- needed something was the Sir Roger de Coverley papers. Those papers served the age of Queen Anne in that capacity; they served all time in a much higher d | gree. They contained the germs, kindiy germs, of the novel of the eighteenth century. The Spectator was started as a distinct- ively literary periodical, and it adopted a distinctly personal tone. Around “Mr. Spectator” the imaginary members formed themselves into a club, and it was thelr dafly reflections and actions that were to be imparted in a tete-a-tete fash fon to the public. This personal intima. | is the keynote of the literary tone of tha journal. This note is struck with the very first articl “The Spectator’'s Account of Himself." and it is sounded in the se ond contribution where Steele describes Sir Roger and the Club."” The Sir Roger de Coverley papers, thir- ty-three in number, do not form a ne according to the accepted definition o word; but they do contain many qua that afterward, in the work of Ric son, In 1740, became th teristics of the full-fi novel. This series of essays. while g all the traits of the essay, gradually unfolds the life, habit and environments of Sir Roger, | a personage fictitious, vet incorporating | the easily recognized characteristics of a | country knight. Associated with this fa- | miliar figure are other lesser figures, deli | cately. yet definitely, traced. such as Wiil Wimble and Will Honeycomb. Moreover, | this charaeter sketch is not without | plan. It Is devoid of plot, as the word is | employed in defining the novel. The pian ties ard- definitive charac- dged possess | is stmple enough. It is as unnecessary to the characterization as the tracery of _.mommfi is to Michael Angelo’s concep- tion of the biblical. scenes. Sir Roger s presence in the club, his household, his ancestors, neighbors, country life, ete., are so many separate canvases on which | are depicted the manners of the man and his rural surroundings. Sir Roger in Lo don, furthermore, presents the manners the man against the perspective of city life, and the writer has the opportunity of contrasting country with city life. Sir Roger in London means a series of views of London’s show places in the last cen- tury—to wit, Westminster Abbey, the the- ater, Vauxhall. etc. And this plan con- tained one further episode that pained many a reader besides Dr. Johnson—Addi- son had to kill Sir Roger “that nobody else might murder him." In this simpie exposition of a noble character was hid. den the seed from which should spring the mightiest product that literature has ever known—the novel.
