vate grounds with section Of police end arresting
q number OF gentlemen engaged In this amuse
snent; but he do not, and his friends, those
over-zealous as he, must lament that his
courage is falling. 1t will be remembered that

would throw no obstacle In the way OF
Its quiet termination. There Is but one in

compelled to do the work Of interference and

ashamed Of; was notified tnat Mr. Bennett and Mr.
Douglas would shoot private match at Jerome

the Courts to answer for the msdemeanor. Heartily

this legal test to take place, and only wished Mr..
Bergh to have the moral courage to bring it about.
