BOHEMIAN TURNERS' ' PRIZES Awards Made at a Social Session of Tel Jed Sokol Last Night EACH WINNER IS LOUDLY CHEERED Onmhn Men Come Off with Great Honor In the List of First * nnil Second * .Vninrn of the Athletic Champions. Last night was another evening of mirth and merriment for the visiting and resi dent Bohemians. The occasion was a ball given by the local sokol to the visiting members of the society. Its particular fea ture occurred at 10 o'clock , when the names of the winning teams and Individuals In Sunday's tournament were announced. The affair took place In Metz hall. The ball was hailed aa an event In local Bohemian society and the consequence was that the visitors were given an opportunity to cultivate the acquaintance of the local belles of that nativity. For their entertain ment an excellent dance program was of fered , which did not conclude until a late. or rather on early , hour. The success of the affair was mainly due to the efforts of the entertainment committee of the local eokol , consisting of J. W. Flala. Joseph Kalclk , and Fred Slama. It was exactly at 10 o'clock when V. K. Trlska. of St. Louis , chief of the western division of the Telocvlcna Jednota sokol , summoned those present before the stage nnd announced the findings of the judges. t As each name was called It was greeted with cheers of congratulation. As Omaha had the only team In the first division competitions : petitions It easily carried off the honors.

But th street car route which Is as unstable a the Missouri river was deflected from ll straight and narrow course and the peopl who are dependent upon the street cars s a means of transportation are left at th back door on Twenty-fourth street or at tt subway entrance on Sherman avenue. The Brandenburg gate that magnlficer triumphal monument which forms the ec trance to the city of Berlin from the Thto garten has the central passage reserve for the carriages of royalty to pass througl If this Arch of States had been deslgnc to allow a certain class only to enter und < Its proud arch.what a crowding and pushln there would be to pass through that was As It Is , there are probably fewer peopl enter at the main entrance than at any ( the other gates. It really repays one to leave the car i Wlrt street , walk over to Twentieth stre < and enter the exposition grounds under tt lofty Arch of States. As you approach the main entrance yc must close your eyes to all the mean an common looking , unpalnted pine buildlnf erected as check stands , stables and restai mats , which seem fastened to each sic of the arch like barnacles to a stately whli ship. The general effect of this triumph ; arch Is unquestionably majestic , the relatli proportions are happily determined and tl dominant architectural lines are special ] rommendable. Near the top Is a frieze formt of. the jeals of the tranamldalsslppt stati and In the middle above the frieze are t-n youths upholding the shield of the Unite States. This offers a worthy entrance to the beai tiful lagoon court and the classic bulldln ) which encircle It. The arch Is Banked on each side by wing curving out toward the town like arms ha pliably outstretched to all. In these win ; are the booths for the ticket sellers at each wing Is crowned at the end by a grot of four crouching female figures , holdli out toward the four points of the com pa the lighted torch of knowledge which 01 finds within the gates. The statuary , sin pie though It Is , is appropriate In deals ud IB In good proportion with referem to the whole. It is the work of the sculpto Mr. Drlnghum of St. Louis , who also d the sculpture work on the Art building. Passing in under the monumental arc KINGSFORD'S SILVER GLOSS STARCH Unsurpassed for flue Linen Muslins and Laces. seventy fe t high , one discovers opposite , on the other side of the bridge , another arch equally adequate ot the Administra tion building. Unconsciously one feels how nlculy theese two arches balance one an other and at the same time accent the short axis of the lagoon court by rising aa they do high above the larger buildings. The Administration Arch , with Its classic arch below , a loggia above and high , steep- pitched roof , with a lantern , and corner plnaclcs. Is very striking and differentiates itself from all the other buildings. Although it. too. is designed in the renaissance style and Is In harmony with Its neighbors. It U different In character and recalle some cf the mediaeval gateways to old French towns , or some of the towers which one occasionally sees in northern France the tour d'horloge at Rouen , for example. It ie the central feature of the north side of the lagoon court , and with Its green roof , ribbed with gold , and pinnacles In green and gold It Is very effective and adds a bit ot color to the architectural * chenie. The vaulted cell- Ing of the first story over the archway , pierced by the four principal arches , Is brilliantly lighted at night by electric lights which droop like luminous pistils In the dainty flower-like rosettes. I The statuary by Mr. Metier of New York | Is eo distributed as to give effect to the whole. The general character of the build ing Is reflected back In each detail and In these groups and figures the sculptor has not tried to Intrude himself upon the pub lic by making his work predominant , but rather by the aid of the plastic art he ! participates In the architectural forms. I There Is no other means of habituating the i public to the beautiful and making It loved ' by them , but by presenting beautiful forms as the expression of an Idea which arrests their thoughts , engages and Interests them. Architecture Is , as a certain poet has said , "a book In stone ; " then the sculpture must be the Illustrations. In this case the embodiment of the administrative Idea id carefully carried out. The lower part ol the Administration Arch , with Its Roman arch and Its simplicity , suggests strength and power ; the upper part with the verj pointed roof and pinnacles lifts the thoughts above the petty cares which some times creep In to disturb the peace of mind ot an administrative board. The same Idea Is again made visible In the central sculpt ured group above the loggia where th genius of administration Is calmly seated waited upon by two youths. The Administration Arch and the Arct of States were designed by the architect ! In chief , Messrs. Walker and KImball o Boston and Omaha , who with such excellen taste designed the general scheme of thi lagoon court and one of the most pleasln ; of all the architectural features the colon' nades. They gave to the architects thi scale and general style ot all the build' Ings , thus foreordaining the clearness am harmony which delights us without ou ; knowing why. We cannot but regret tha In a short time our "Enchanted City" wll be a "City of Dreams. " Still the short ness of its life does not diminish the valui of Its Influence any more than the "shor duration of a flower can take away fron the sweetness of Its perfume , the brllllanc ; of Its colors , or the exquisite delicacy e its petals. " ETHEL EVANS. JUST A LARGE CROWI ( Continued from First Page. ) would accept a tender of one fare plus j : 'or the round trip from the Western Pas. aenger association. If an affirmative repl : s received Immediate action will be taker .o Induce the Western Passenger associa tion to tender the rate.

PREPARATIOXS FOR PEACH DAI Xehrnnka Exhibitor * Mnklnc Read for Hie fin-ill Event In Their Line. There Is considerable stir around the Her tlcultural building over the Peach day pros peels. It Is the intention to have the feas on September 2 , at which time numerou baskets of peaches will be given away t parties who visit the building. It was th original Intention to have all of the state join , but there are some Indications tha Nebraska will be the only state that wll take part in the festivities. Should thi be the case the name will be changed an instead of the occasion being Peach da It will be designated as Nebraska Peac day. day.The The Illinois people say they have plent of peaches at home , but owing to the dls tance they cannot get them here In goo condition. The same excuse for not comln to the center Is made by many of the othe state representatives , which leaves Nebrask the only state that has peaches to glv away and then have an abundance on hanc It was the original Intention of Superlc tendent Youngers of the Nebraska exhlbl to secure 1,000 baskets of peaches for fre distribution , but owing to the changed coa dltlon of affairs he has now laid his plan and If the other states stay out he will hav 5,000 baskets on hand. At this time he I In correspondence with the largest peac growers In the state , and as far as return have been received all of them express determination to help furnish the evidenc to prove to the world that Nebraska is th greatest of peach growing states. Los Angeles county. California , has adde some novelties to Its exhibit , one of whlc Is an article known as St. John's brca fruit , a tree that Is being cultivated to som extent. The tree grows to a height t thirty feet and begins bearing the fru : when it has reached the age of about 1 years. While the product Is called fru It does not resemble any fruit In any pa : tlcular. Instead of being a fruit It is pod that closely resembles the honey locus Inside each pod there are a number of llttl beans , which , when dry. are as hard a stone. These are ground Into meal an when mixed Into batter and cooked the cake taste very much like a combination of ba nana , muskmelon and ripe pawpaw. As yi there is no market for the product , it beln raised principally as a fad and a curiosity. Another novelty that Is being shown t Superintendent Wilson of the exhibit Is th mango , a tropical fruit. The mango about the size of a Burbank plum and : a bright green on the outside. When rlt the fruit Is as yellow as custard and tastf very much like It. The fruit Is so soft an delicate that It Is next to Impossible to shl It out of the country and for this reaso It Is seldom seen outside of the immedial section where It is raised. California quinces are now coming In I large numbers and are unusually large thi year. While but few of them are ripe a this time , they make a good showing an add variety to the exhibit. In addition to other fruit. Superintended Wilson has received a considerable ship ment of apples. Including the Wester Beauty. Pennsylvania Red Streak and Alex anders. They are all very large and flnel colored. Hawaii Is not the only section of th world that U showing coffee. Superlo tendent Wilson has recelvod several of th plants , sent on by Jacob Miller , a fru ! grower who devotes a great deal of his tlm to experimenting with tropical product : He Is firmly convinced that most. If not ol of the T-oducts r % be raised In the coun try around Los Angeles. The coffee ha a larje berry and rich color As yet c c .ffe has been shipped from southern Call fornla , but the people In charge of the ei hi bit at the exposition feet confident that before the end of five years It will be one of their leading crops. Superintendent Stanton of the Illinois ex hibit Is devoting much of his time juel now to sowing g rapt a. Yesterday he placed twenty varieties upon the tables , all from the State Experimental farm located at Champaign. They are unusually finely col ored and regular In size and shape. This , he contends. Is the result of spraying. Idaho and Oregon have both received some fine consignments of plums , peaches and apples , but the parties In charge ot the ex hibits find some difficulty in getting the finer qualities ot fruit here in good condi tion. It It all right when It leaves home , but the long distance and the time re quired to get It here play sad havoc with Its condition. This , however , will not stop the shipments. They are coming on dally and by receiving fruit so often , It la ex pected that the display will be kept very attractive. SPLEXDID CROWD LAST MGIIT. Reduced Admlflnlon Bring * Oat the Local People in Force. The crowd on the grounds last night In dicated that the drawing power of the 21 cent admission bos lost none of Its force. This Is especially significant , as Monday night Is usually one of the lightest of the week. The crowd Is largely composed of strangers , who are fatigued after their first day on the grounds and do not linger through the evening. This proved the case last night and between 7 and S o'clock the returning motor trains were filled with ex position visitors , who preferred to rest rather than spend the evening on the grounds. But the reduced night admission brought out such a local addition to the crowd that their departure was not noticed and U was one of the liveliest Monday nights since the show opened. The concert was played to a big c rowd and all the evenIng - Ing the Midway received an exceptionally liberal patronage. Late In the evening President Wattles brought out a party ol the visiting bankers , who were given a brlel but satiatactory glimpse of the Midway. linn-all to Have a Concenslon. In addition to having an exhibit In th < Agriculture building , the new territory 01 Hawaii will show Itself on the North Mid way In a building the erection of whlcl has just about been completed. While thli will be In the nature of an amusemenl concession , the features which will be showi will portray the dress , customs and hablu ot the people of the islands , as they ex isted a century ago and also as they exls at the present time. The Interior of thi building will be decorated to conform wltl that of a Hawaiian theater , with the stagi settings peculiar to the territory. Then will be the dances of the country , which wll be tripped off to the music as it is playec there. The Kalakaua sextet club will sing One of the features of the amusement sec tion of the Hawaiian attraction will be thi dance that the old king liked so well anc which was so popular before the Island wai Americanized. This dance Is not put on ii the public theaters throughout the Island as with the natives It Is regarded as : sacred affair. When old King Kalakaua wa : alive he was the owner of a splendid clul house down along the beach and there hi would repair with his friends to drink gin which with him was the royal drink. Afte J the gin commenced to get in its work , Mr Kalakaua would call In his dancing girl and then the fun would be fast and furious The people who will take part In thesi Hawaiian dances and other amusement have left the Island and will be here in ; few days , probably not later than the mid die ot next month. Klrnlfy Endorien the Exnoxltlon. Imre Klralfy , the great spectacular show man , was In the city yesterady and spen all of his time at the exposition , visiting th 1 main buildings and the Midway. That h enjoyed the day goes without saying. Afte making a tour of the grounds he said : "I Is about as good a thing as I have ever see : , and Is going to prove a great educator to th people who come here. I have visited a ] the expositions held during the past twent years and regard this as one of the besl ' ; It seems to be perfect and complete In ever . particular. The buildings are gems of arch , Itectural construction and contain as fin a class of exhibits as it would be posslbl to find anywhere. In sending their exhibit , the people seem to have displayed good Judg ment and have sent only things intended t i Interest the public. " Regarding the Midway and Midway at tractions , Mr. Klralfy said : "The time ha , been reached when a Midway Is regarde < . aa a part of an exposition and Is just a ; necessary as the big buildings and the ex hlblts. At this exposition the Midway U a good as any that I have ever seen. 0 i . course the attractions are not so numerou 1 as at the World's Fair , but on the whole the ' are better and are of a higher order. " ' At this time Mr. Klralfy Is thfe dlrecto general of the London exposition. He wll be In the city several days. ExcnmloiiIMn from KHIIKBH City. Five hundred people from Kansas Cltj came to Omaha lost evening over the Mis eouri Pacific on an excursion organized b ; the Young Men's Christian association o that city. They came to visit the exposl . tion. The ride was a long one , the day wa < hot and the road -was dusty and the ex. i curslonists were a sorry looking lot whei they alighted at the Webster street depot Yet withal the discomfort they suffered ei route they were happy in the consciouanes that none of them had any edge on thi others as to appearance , and accepted th situation In good humor. Most of ther went to private boarding bouses , xa the I ] seemed to have been supplied with ad i I dresses before reaching the city. They wll I ! remain mot ot the week , as their ticket are good until Friday. Munle for Thin Mornlntr. This morning at 10 o'clock at the Audi t i torlum the Mexican National band will pla .

It was the Eighth Ward Republican club , met to reorganize for tha year. The only thing done was the election of officers and that did not take fifteen mlnutei altogether. Vice President F. L. Smith called It to gether as soon as about a hundred mem bers had taken their seals. At once R. C. Rowley and T. H. Leslie were placed in nomination for president. Mr. Rowley was elected by a majority of 20 ballots over his opponent. The other officers chosen were as follows , each by a unanimous vote : Sam B. Leonard , first vice president : Fred L. Smith , second vice president ; W. F. Cow- ger , secretary , and C. J. Anderson , treas urer. Owing to the heat an adjournment was "mmediately taken. Quite a number of candidates for the lower house of the legislature live In this ward nd It Is thought the club will en deavor to avoid giving Its endorsement to any one man. An effort will thus be made to keep out of factional fights. HITCHCOCK WILL MAKE THE IIVX. Writes a Formal Acceptance of the Popocrntlconilnntlon. . Gilbert M.
