schooner Winnie Laurie, which arrived
here to-day from Haiti, 10 now at her dock.
She looks comparatively safe and at hel
ease now, and Captain McR1tchie and hi
crew do not look as if they had had much
of passage, but to the last day of theil
lives they will never forget the terrible ex.
periences through which they have just
passed. In fact cannibalism is charged, but
not proven. The Winnie Laurie left st.
Marc, Haiti, on January 8, with a cargo Of
logwood for New York. She carried crew
of eight men, all of them Russian Fins.
Malcolm McRitchie, the captains brother,
was mate. One man died and was left at
Fortune Island. The remaining seven came
in with the vessel.
A northwest gale struck the vessel shortly
after passing Mole st. Nicholas; in eight
days the schooner had reached Hatteras.
She was then struck by hurricane and
blown back to Bermuda. After . number
of days the vessel succeeded in crawling
back west of the Gulf Stream. She was
again struck by fierce gale and blown out
to sea.

was beset by big seas which threatened to
break her up and send her to the bottom,

Another big gale came out of the northwest
and drove the schooner down to Hatteras
again. Provisions began to run short, and

descent Ii is a fact that the Arabian horse
possesses capacities for vicousness exceed
ing those of any other breed. yet the pro-
verbal care and gentle handling they re-
ceive from their desert owners have so SUBJ
dued these qualities that vicious horse is
almost unheard Of among them. The Arabs
certainly have a faculty for training and
gentling horses that other peoples should
seek TO acquire. Like the early Greeks aud
Romans, their guiding and controlling is
more by the voice than by rein or spur.

Why Outdoor Amateur Sports Are Not

Why Outdoor Amateur Sports Are Not
Well PatroDized Ia This City.
Considering that the Olympic Club of this
city has the most beautifully constructed
athletic grounds of any club west OF New
York. with al the accommodations and re-
quirements attached that the most fastidi-
Gus athlete could possible desire. it is
strange-In fact, very strange-,hat the
number of outdoor athletes who pa'ronlze
the grounds are a very small minority of
the clubs membership.
The directors Of the Olympic Club have
done everything in their power to make out
door sports popular, and. indeed, had il
not been for the tirelesS efforts OF William
Greer harrison, Eddie kplb. Kent Cation,
John Elliott and few other thorough en-
thusiasts, the young members of the club
would realize to-day the necessity of sucn a
beautiful athletic park as is now at their
pleasure. and within half an hours ride OF
the city.
As prominent outdoor man remarked n
few days ago: ut is when you haven't
got good thing that good thing is thor
oughly appreciated"
When the Olympic Club had By far a
smaller mem bership than it has to-day the
athletes would be strongly represented on
the old grounds used by the club for prac-
tice and field-day sports.
Large fields of entries were then always
the rule. 1t seemed that IL the boys had
only properly constructed grounds, with
the requirements necessary 10 the enjoy
ment OF outdoor athletics, there would be
such great Interest manifested in outdoor
games that the pastime would eventually
become the most popular of all open air
sports.
There was undoubtedly great excitement
and interest attending the first two meet
ings given by the club at its new grounds,
but gradually the boys grew careless and

The Final Game Between the Psrnell
aud Emmet Clubs.

The Final Game Between the Psrnell
aud Emmett Clubs.
The game Of football billed for this after
noon between the Parnei and Emmett
teams promises to be one Of the best games
of the season. The rivalry between the
teams as TO which shall be the champion is
very keen, and from present appearances
the club that wins the hOnors will know 1T
was in a battle The first teams Of these
clubs met on the oath of July, and after Il
desperate struggle in which the merits of
the different players were well presented
the Emmett boys won, but the advantage
was so trivial that the Parnell boys claim
that the win was chance one, and that
return match will show the correctness OF
their claim.
The game to-day will be between the sec
ond teams of the respective clubs. and from
all accounts Will be we'll worth witnessing.
The Parneil bows are pre- pared to conquer
or die IN the effort, while the Emmett boys
declare they will win, or II Impossible for
them to win that they will see that the Par
nell boys do not succeed. The result of all
this talk will be one of the greatest games
ever played in this State. Ample prepare
lions are being made for the playing of one
OF the best games so far played by these
clubs. and the lovers of outdoor sports, and
more especially football, should not fail TO
witness the contest. 1t is truly edlfying to
see the good order and exemplary feeling
that prevails between the players, and TO
the ordinary spectator it would appear that
it is impossible for hearty and able young
men TO engage in such a contest without
conflict that may mean WTaDgle OF Serl-
Gus nature.
The game as played by the Gaelic boys is
something new in this country, being
played entirely different from the games
put up by the college boys. In the latter
games the players are permitted TO pick I'D
IT. during
tie game played by the boys in the park the
ball cannot be picked from the ground. nor
can player run with it. IL a player
catches the ball above the ground he is per-
mitted to run three steps and then kick the
leather. On the whole the game as played
by the Irish athletes in Golden Gate Park
is well worthy of commentator and should
be seen to be understood and enjoyed.
