bay is full Of islands, the largest some 20
miles long by 10 broad They are all more
or less mountainous All the larger ones
are inhabited and cultivated. The vege-
tables and grain are brought TO the city Of
Annoy by the COuntrymen, and there sold.
One afternoon as ] was walking in the city
] was attracted by a crowd, and upon in
quiry was told that some farmers from an
island near The head of the bay had brought
down for sale two young tiger cubs. Enter
ing the crowd ] accosted the men aud heard
for the FIRST time that their island was kept
in terror by a female tiger, whose fondness
for human blood made il unsafe 10 20 out
after dark; their cattle were carried of, and
often the beast would prowl about their
villages, even entering houses and seiziEg
unwary people,
They knew the location Of her den, and
by keeping watch were able TO seize upon
her cubs while they were quite young, during
one Of the mothers absences from home.
Strangely they never attempted to Kill her,
assigning as a reason their dread Of some
ill luck If they molested a grown tiger.
Upon further questioning they said they
would be delighted if any one could rid them
Of the pest, and offered TO point out the
place 10 me If ] should come, but remarked
that ordinary weapons would be of no use,
as she bore a charmed life; we must use
some c0unteT-cham.
FIRED WITH THE PROSPECT
of even q chance % hunt a tiger, ] returned
30 my ship and by my own enthusiasm
reused two Of my brother officers 20 embark
with me in an expedition 20 the island and
q stay there long enough TO exhaust al
chance Of success.
Having procured from our commanding
officer the necessary leave, we packed up
enough provisions to last week, and nro-

Making M early start while the tide was
favorable, we spent the day on the water,
and had considerable sport among the ducks

morning. Neither raid was successful.
Both times a plucky woman put the in
truders to fight.
The II. p. Hynds residence on east
Seventeenth was first visited. Mrs.
Hynds heard a football on the YeTanda
and heard the parlor door unlocked, but
supposed the person was Mr.. Hynds un-
til she saw him gently push the door ajar
and stealthily step inside. She called
her husbands name a couple of times
and the visitor beat a hasty retreat.
Within five minutes Mr.. Hynds came
home and Officer Nolan had walked up
with him. They found Mrs, Hynds on
guard with a big revolver.
The men at once made a thorough
search Of the premises and the alley and
then started for a tour around the neigh
borhool As they quietly walked gazing in
every direction they were startled by two
shots aud made a run toward the source
OF the reports, The firing was douo by a
woman and at burglars. At the Wilson
residence they found Mrs. 0'Conuor on
the step with S pistol in her hand and
smoke still issuing from the muzzle. A
man had entered the house through a
window and made the run from bullets
with his pal. Mr.. Hynds and Officer
Nolan hunted for the marauders. but did
not get a trace of them.

They made the first curve together, then
formed a string in this wise: Miss Do
lores, Mart Waldren. Gypsy Baron,
Susie Glenn. These relative positions
were held TO the wire. Waldren and
Dolores had a hard fight, but the former
was off and could do no better than to
get to Dolores girths. Gypsy Baron and
Susie Glenn raced in with a rush. Time,

against Dolores all the time. The time
has on several occasions been beaten by

only after a series of ~aRgravaiing delays
caused by unavoidable accidents. MANY
people, chilled aud weary, left the track,

betting, and a tremendous sum was laid

Vlscohut, Wyoming, Margaret, and
Kittie McGee met in the polo pony race,
a sweepstakes half mile dash, with 500
added by the association. Kitty McGee
was entirely outclassed and fell back be-
fore the first turn was made. The COM
pany was a bit too fast for Wyoming,
who was ridden by George Vanderpool in
that gentleman's usual finished style. So
1t narrowed down to a contest between
Viscount with Mr.. Iselin in the saddle
and Margaret ridden by Harry L. Kuy-
kendall. Margaret took the pole and
made the running for the quarter.
Margaret aud Viscount raced beautifully
on the backstreteh and rounded the lower
turn together, with Wyoming close and
coming. When into the stretch Vlscount
moved away from Margaret. though the
latter was spurted for all that was in her
and hung doggedly for a moment. Wy

pose now shot after Viscount, Vanderr DOL

little bay mare hadn't her speed with her
and the finish was between Margaret and

dash toward home was a brilliant one I'M

WORLD OF SPORTN

The release from reservation by the New Haven team of Pitz was a surprise to Manager Burnham. who had intend ed to sign Pitz very soon. Pitz, it seems. became impatient at not being signed and convinced the board of arbitration that he was not being used fairly, and so secur ,d his release before the board heard Manager Burnham's side of the Jersey City.
 Lehane, the bone of contention be- tween the New York and Columbus clubs, held down first bag for the New Yorks yesterday afternoon. Lehane is in a state of rebellion over the decision of the arbitration committee in assign ing him to Columbus. He consented to talk yesterday and this is what he said |: "The decision of the arbitration com- mittee was surprise to me. I am dis gusted with the whole business. It's abominable. They want to force a man to play where he is under no obligation to play. simply wont play with Columbus, and that is all there is to it. Rather than do it I'll leave the leauRe and go to the brotherhood"
