AT the banquet which closed the fourth
National Convention of Cigar Manutact-

virtues OF tobacco as follows:

OFFICER TALBOT'S CAPTURE

He Pulls Tan Game and Is Nearly
Arrested for Vagrancy.
A tan game was captured last night on
l street. between Third and Fourth. by
Officer Talbot, in manner that does
credit to his ingenuity. :.
Knowing it was in progress, he sneaked
up the alley in the rear, and, obtaining
entrance to the building, he made rush
for the game. Being unfortunately not
familiar with the topography of the place.
he rushed into door close to the one in
which the game was running, and was
chagrined to find the other door
slammed in his face.
Not daunted, however, but stimulated
by the fact that the Cinnamon gave him

turned the odds decidedly in his favor.

Pressing into service a couple of hobos

by the front entrance, the hat being
pulled down over his face 80 as to hide
his features. When opposite the entrance
he bolted into the room where the game
was running and seized the dealer and
one of the Cinnamon who WAS playing in
the game. Instantly wild confusion
reigned. The Celestials thought it WAS
hold-up Of desperate robber,
and surrounded him with cries
OF "What for? what for?" When
he had his two prisoners safe, so
that they could not get away, he showed
his star. and that settled the matter.

BRU4ES AND BIRDS IN WAR.
They Will Be Auxi|iaries to Man in
Battle.
New Uses for Swallows, Storks, Fall
cons and Dogs by Ingenious Eu-
ropean Military Experts.

When the next European war comes
it is more than probable that it will have
a novel and picturesque point of military
interest about it in the employment of
animals, which will play quite as inn
portant part in the campaigns in their
way as the Generals and soldiers. Ever
since the earliest days OF war-from the
very beginning of things, that is-horses
have, of course, been military aids of the
greatest value. Now it is planned-in-
deed, several Of the European powers are
actively making experiments-to draft
other animals into the service, with the
expectation that they will be OF very
great help.
France. during the times of the
Franco German conflict, brought the
science OF carrier pigeons up to a high
standard of efficiency. Then it was
thought that no superior to this 1.-the
little bird could be found as carrier Of
dispatches. But the French military au-
thorities are beginning TO think differ
emily now. Experiments have been
made with the swallow, and he has
proved to be swifter, surer and altogether
more satisfactory. There Is the greatest
probability. therefore, that swallows will
bs part of the army equipment for the
next campaign.
A new idea has sprung up in French
military circles, nevertheless, that after
all it Is rather imprudent for a great
army TO intrust its messages, frequently

Trinity College Boatmen Pull Away
With EaSe-Something Wrong
With the CornellS.

HENLEY, July 1O.-Cornell was beaten
to-day with the greatest ease by the
Trinity Hall crew, and the American
spectators were correspondingly de-
pressed. The second day OF the regatta
opened with fine weather and was
marked with a large attendance. The
principal features OF the days pro-
gramme were the trial heats or the great
race, the contestants being the winners
or yesterdays trial heats.
The first Of these contests was between
New College, Oxford and EtOn. 1t was
won by the former by a length and a
half III seven minutes and eighteen sec

Then came the heat between Trinity
Hall and Cornell. IL was thought that
the difference OF opinion as to the justice
OF CornelPs retaining the heat 1t won un-
opposed yesterday would spur the Ithaca
boys to efforts to-day which would SHOW
conclusively that the result would have
been The same if the Leander boat had
started, but the result was most dlsap-
pointing, for the Trinity Hall men beat
the Americans with the greatest apparent
ease.
There was strong wind blowing oil

WAS intense. Whom the umpire gave the

When 1t was seen that their boat was

enthusiasm among the large number OF

could be heard along the river bank.
At the Quarter-mlle Cornell was lead

The Americans had made several spurts
in their efforts to hold the lead, but all
had been made in vain. and at this point

There was considerable confusion in
the Cornell boat; the mon rowed for a
moment badly out of time and then
stopped rowing altogether. The Trinity
