but when those defeats are examined
closely it is seen that he did wonders
with his small forces against the over

MacMahon's family was Irish. They were
driven to France after the failure of the
Stuart insurrection. AlacNahon. who
was born in November, 1908, entered the

A PASADENA
A PASADENA
MAN WRITES OF HIS EXPERIENCE IN
DARKEST AFRICA

King Macomber, the Pasadena young
man who went to Africa some months
ago to join Frank Il. Burnham's explor-
ing expedition has written to his broth er
at Pasadena, DR.. Harry Macombsr, and
his letter, written from the heart or tn Q
Cark continent, makes very interesting
reading.
Mr.. Burnham was granted very large
tract of land by the British government
in recognition of his distinguished servi-
ces during the Matabele war, and the ex-
petition which he is now leading into
the very heart OF Africa is under the aus
pices of that government. He is a Pa.a

enemies Of his country. For twenty
years Won Moltke was an active soldier.
He saw all the changes and improve
ments of this century in the implements
OF warfare.
Born on October 20, 1900, he began the
study Of arms before he was out of his
teens. At the age of % he was appointed
lieutenant in the Eighth infantry of the
Prussian army: Warefare was purely a
science with him. His years of exper-
ience, the hundreds of battles that be was
in gave him a knowledge never before
attained by ancient or modern soldier.
He was always looking ahead. planning
and working out Improvements. He
never allowed himself to fall into rut.
He was never satisfied with existing
conditions. Something better was al
ways ii mania with him.
Won Moltkes rise in the army was
steady but slow. In 1885 he was sent to
Turkey, where he spent four years, and
on his return assumed his former posi-
tion in the general aft. Each year after
that marked some advance in his mill
tary standing until 1885, when he was
made lieutenant general. The war with
Denmark in 1864 was conducted by him.
and the Austrian campaign two years
later was executed under his direction.
1t was the same in the war with France.
So we'll did Moltke do his work that the
French army was practically beaten after
the first two weeks OF fighting. The real
battles began the first week in August.
The third week in August saw the French
army so badly crippled that from then
on it was almost an unhindered march OF
victory for the Prussians. Sedan ON Sep

all. It is the intention Of many promi-
nent men in the sport to bring about q
series OF cham pionship games between all
the clubs in the association to decide
which is the champion team of the coun-
try. This question has never been settled,
and is a. open today az it was many years
ago.
That such a tournament would arouse
great popular interest in the sport. and
give it big boom, there is little. doubt.
1t would bring into active opposition
against ecah other all tho best players
in the land, and as a spectacle OF horse
manship would tar excel anything OF the
kind that has heretofore BEEN attem pted.
The originators of tho scheme hope to
arrange the tourney for the flrsS weeks IN
October. By that time all the CLUB cups
will have been won or lost, and the play
ers and horses will be in fine trim after

tional yacht races will have been decided

5th the tournament of the Point Judith
Country club began at Narragansett Pier.
At Newport proper the tournaments last
ed from August 18th to the oath; then
the players moved to Higham. Mass,
where a series of games will be played
from August Goth to August 26st. Hamil-
!. ton, Mass, will have the teams from Sep
tenn Der "a to l4th, and Dedham in tho
Same state, from Setember 10th to the
2lst. With the championship games TAX
ing place the first half OF October, the
dates thus set will fit in easily.
OF the teams that will compete it is
a difficult matter to pick the probable
winner, tor the reason that the players
| from the western cities and those Of the
| eastern have never met in regular con-
| tests.
For instance the best players IN the Chi

The picture presented by Napoleon Ill.

grand uncle, the great Napoleon, was
shown by the victories of the French in
the Crimean and Austrian campaigns.
After the Austrian campaign the french
