' 1 DOINGS AT JAMESTOWN Jamestown Exposition, Va. — Tbe second annual meeting of the North Carolina Architectural Asso ciation was held'at thte Jamestown Exposition, on the 12 and 13 of July. This association was formed at Wilmiugton, North Carolina July 7.1906, and elected the follow iog officers; President Charles C. Hook, Charlotte, N. C., Vice Pres ident, Charles W. Barret, Raleigh, N. C.; Secretary and Treasuer. Franklin Gordon, Charlotte, N. C. The association was formed to unite the architects of the state North Carolina and tbe continuous territory, and to combine their ef forts so as to promote tbe scientific and practical efficiency of that profession. , The association had as its guests at this meeting tbe archi tects of Virginia and South Caro lina. Among the many addresses and lectures which took place as part of the program of that meeting was the lecture rf a wetl known engineer, whose subjecfWas "Steam Heating as Applied to the Archi tects Work". There was also ad dresses by the president of the as sociation and offices of the expo sition. This meeting was held in assem bly room number one, on the first floor of the auditorium. Texas Elks Coming Among the thirty thousand Elks who will come down from Phila delphia luly 22 to observe Elks' Day at the Jamestown Exposition there will probably be no delega tion attract more attention than the El Paso Quieu Sabe Club of Elks, of El Paso, Texas. Its members, attired to repre sent every type of the picturesque costumes in the sister republic of Mexico. The Quien Sabe Club will go east to the national couven t'on in Philadelphia this year with a kaleidescopic collection of gar ments, educative and instructive, to people unaccustomed to the man ners and dress of the Mexicans, and picturesque indeed in their beautiful blending of the soft blended shades at which tbe Mexi cans and Indians are adepts. Again the Quien Sabes will make the trip iu a special train all the way from the border of sunny Mexico to the borders of pictur esque Canada on the north, through Canada to Niagara, and thence down south to tbe convention city of brotherly love and on to the Jamestown Exposition. Two years ago the same organization made the trip to Buffalo, N. V., and was awarded tbe first prize for travel ing the longest distance of any or ga«.iiation at the meeting. This time they will travel much further. For the second time the club will also take the famous Guardalajara band. This is the personal baud of the governor of the mexican stateof Jalisco, 650 miles from Mexico and is tendered again to the club as a compliment from the big, six foot governor, Miguel Ah umada, who is an honorary mem ber of the El Paso Elks, the only foreigner who has such a distinc tion in the entire membership of the order. This band, composed of sixty-two pieces, under the lead ership of Augusto Azzalia, son of a noble Italian family won first prize in competition with bands from all over the United States at Buffalo ia 1905 aod is eatered for the Phil adelphia contest under tbe leader ship of the same man. En route to tbe convention tbe train will make numerous stops where visits will be made to the lodges of the cities visited and tbe band will play a concert in some convenieat spot. Stops will be made at Kansas City, Davenport and Topeka, Moline .and Rork Island, Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Niagara Falls and elsewhere en route to Philadelphia after the I c'.ose of the national convention in Philadelphia, the Elks, in their Mexican costumes and accompan ied by their Mexicaa band, will visit tbe Jamestown Exposition en "El Paso Day". Among tbe pilgrims of„ the special train, every, costume from the gay charro of the rohle with gold and silver braid and buttoas, down to tbe bright hned attire of the peasant or, to use the mexican word peon, will be represented. Even the ball fighter will not be neglected and the gaudy colors of scarlet aod gold and green and purple of the gay aod gallant mat- adors, picadors and bandilleros will be worn. The gaudy capes car ried by the ball fighters to lure Mr. Toro to his death and the beautiful Zerapes, the wonder of all eastern ers. will adorn many shoulders. It will be one of the most picturesque aggregations ever sent to a nation al reunion of Blks, and will be ed ucational in that it will correctly represent the dress of all classes of citizens of Mexico. The Mexican government would not recognize the organization and permit the use Of its band if the costumes were not correct. —Taffy-Tolu, that's me. v —Ask tor KI Coreso, Refuse others. —Smoke SI Coreso.
