Amoy, Oct. '.'8. When the Chinese
government selected Amoy as the
port to receive the second squadron
of tho American battlejhlp fleet, It
made a wise choice. The broad, well
protected harbor, the climate (from
October to April ), unsurpassed, und
the scenic beauty of the eurrotind
Ing country all unite In j ust 1 fyTrrr?
the selertlon.
The second squadron consists of
tne battleships Louisiana, Virginia,
Ohio, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Kentucky and Kearsarge, under
command of Kear-Admiral William
11. Kuioryaud, according to tho Itin
erary, they are duo here October 29,
!and will remain until November i.
TUe Chinese governuieut hit set
aside the sum of 400,000 taels (P.
S. gold $2S0,000), to meet the ex
penses of entertaining the battleship
squadron during Its visit. The com
mit ice 'u charge of the arraiiReiuents
has stated that tbe Peking govern
ment has signified Its willingness to
Ltnake an addltonat appropriation
snou.a me or.gina. appropriation
prove inadequate.
Amoy is well adapted to the re-
eeptlou of the fleet. The harbor Is
probably the hest on tho China coast.
Although jnaoy city, like most Chi
nese cities, is dirty and decidedly
uninviting, yet there la a lat-ge open
plot .of ground, known as the drill
grounds and race course, about one
mile distant from Amoy city and
directly accessible from the sea. This
plot of ground lends itself exceed
ingly well to the purposes of the en
tertainment. On the south and east
it. Is surrounded by picturesque hills
while on tbe north and west Is the
sea.
Thus it will uot bo necessary upon
'.bis occasion tor any one to enter
the City of Amoy. . Tho foreigners
resident at the port of Amoy live on
the Island ' of Kulangsu, opposite
Amoy city. This Island comprises
what l known as tho Kulanssii In

ed In a manner similar to the Shans

The Chinese reception and enter

are circular in shape, and a road

Acting upon the suggestion of the
American Consul Julean IL Arnold,
the entertainment for the men will
consist for the most part In a carni
val of sports. Two handsome silver
cups, to be made in Canton and cost
ing $1,250 each, will ibe awarded as
prl.es to the ships winning the base
hall and football games. A tele
gram was sent to Admiral Sperry at
Auckland, requestibg, that the pre
liminary names be played before ar
rival at Amoy, leaving tbe eini
linals and finals for Amoy. To this
request Admiral Sperry assented.
Hoat races and other sports will al
so form part of the program, for
theso prizes, aggregating about $1,
000, will be awarded.
Instead of presenting each visitor
with a medal or button as Is custom
ary ou such occasions, Commissioner,
Alark has arranged to present each
officer with a Chinese cloisonne vase
and to each man a Chinese cloisonne
cup.
It is stated by those wiio, are , in
a position to Jnow that, despite the
fact that I he yields in all crops have
been larger than ever known before
in the Panhandle, no feed will go
to waste. This is due to the faci that
the country Is scttlirfs up, and farm
ers coming in rrom different sections
of tho country are demanding a por
tion of the bountiful harvesf. More
land Is to be farmed 'during the com
ing season than ever before, and the
promise for thousandsof acres of
waving grain Instead of native grass
es is to be fulfilled.

bought, for cash the entire retail
stocks of three leading Chicago piano
houses, viz.: The Thompson Music
Co., the llealy Music. Co.. and the
F. ,U. Thetirle Co., the entire piano
trade of thn Cnited States wondered
what. Lyon &. llealy could do with
such a vast collection of flno Instru
ments In addition to their own big
stock, for these are no cheap factory
pianos, but pianos of makes of the
highest reputation.
What Lyon & llealy have done Is
to nurk all these pianos, and there
are hundreds of them, at a .discount,
of 20 to 4 0 per cent. The response
upon the part of the public is mar
velous. If you kuow tbe names of good
standard makes of pianos and the
prices always paid, you will need no
second invitation to write to Lyon
& Healy, 7" Adams street, Chicago,
for lists and terms. l-'or you -tan
secure a genuine $;it)0 upright for
$1S0, or other bargains in propor
