J. Riordan, and James G.. Nealon and
T. F. Bonnet.

by Nealon and Bonnet with comparative
ease, but Harlow and Riordan carried off
the next three, although by narrow ma

1t was a great day for the ri1emen

range. From an early hour until late in
the afternoon the roar of the military
musket, the spiteful bark of the sharp

RESIGNATION OF RHODES.

Cecil Rhodes, the premier of Cape Col
ony, has resigned, and this marks the first
setback he has met In his remarkable ca
reer. II is great triumph for Chamber
LAIN who has long been at enmity with
Rhodes. II seemed as If Rhodes sagacity
would outwit the secretary for the colo
MES, but the ill-advised and disastrous act
OF Jameson has played into the British
minister's hands.
1t has long been suspected that RhodeJ
real purpose WAS to unite all South Africa
in a confederation or Dominion, then in
cite II TO assert its independence OF Great
Britain. and have it formed into a re-
public OF which he should be president.
The English government is relieved of
an immediate embarrassment: but Rhodes
is a demi-god in South Africa, and with
his enormous wealth. commanding per-
sOnai influence and phenomenal fertility
OF resource, he Is liable TO prove much
more dangerous than when he was curbed
by the responsibilities and prOprieties of
an official position. Prudence viii probably
keep him quiet for a time, but mischief
will be brewing, and before long attention
viii be again attracted TO the Colossus OF
the Cape.
