At the close of the show a complete list of prize winners will be published. Owing to the absence of Dr. George W.

Wand, Thomas Blight, John Bradshaw and W. E. Chute. Dr. Clayton’s injuries will confine him to his bed for several days.

OAKLAND, Sept. 2.—Cupid is much like Russell Sage—or is it Mr. Sage that is like Cupid?—in that he does mot belleve in vaca- tions, and if the weddthgs that chase each other along the calendar are vroofs of any value, his work is not for naught. The busy little god asks but a “‘fair fleld and no favor,” and Oukland seems to be his favorite camping ground.

The successful canvass to raise $200,00¢ for the construction of a new Y. M. C. A. building in Oakland was conducted under Mr. Kling’s direction. He came to Oakland on invitation of the board of directors to take special charge of that work. It is practically completed and, in view of the tenders from the East, Secretary Kling feels that his term of service in the local association can be ended without in- terfering with the new plans of the organization. The directors have requested Mr. Kling to delay his departure for a month that they may have ample time in which to canvass the field for the selection of his successor. The post will be peculiarly onerous because of the work ahead of building and in- stalling the association in its new home. The association is hopeful that this work will be pressed rapidly now that the total fund is in excellent shape. There are meny preliminary details to be settled, but the building committee has them in hand and is making prog- ress. ————————— STATE SPIRITUALISTS I ANNUAL CONVENTION ollowers of Sect Open Ninth Yearly Session, Which Will Continue Until Sunday Night.

The embassy, nevertheless, is making inquiries here, but it says the question of demanding the return of the eope is complicated by the fact of Morgan's citizenship and the presence of the cope in England.
