THE ROWING REGATTA.

Exciting Boatraces at Alameda Mole
Yesterday Between Crack Crews
A'large crowd attended the rowing re-
gatta held under the auspices OF the Pa
cifc Athletic Association yesterday at
Alameda mole.
Owing to unavoidable delays the races
did not start until an hour after the time
set
The first race was the intermediate barge
event between the University of Califor-
mia, South Ends, Alameda and Stockton
Boating clubs. The race was a pretty and
exciting one, and was won by the Alame-
das by length in 10:02, the Stocktons just
beating the university. tor second place.
In the second race McCausiand defeated
A. G. Brown OF Stockton by two lengths
In the quick time of IL :26. Brown was
handicapped by not being used 10 rough
water.
In returning to the pier his light shell
was swamped by heavy seas. He was
thrown INTO the water, but managed to
hold himself up by grasping his boat. The

FIGHTERS OF THE NILE.
Trouble Ahead for the Expedition Up
the River

Trouble Ahead for the Expedition Up
the River.
There is trouble ahead for the expedi-
ton up the Nile if the dervishes have be-
come good rifemen, as a cable dispatch
from London reports on the authority of
correspondent of the Army and Navy
Gazette. According to this correspondent
the dervishes can now deliver deadly
rifle fire which will enable them to com
bine European tactics with formidable
onsets of cavalry and spearsmen in the old
style, says the Boston Herald. He adds
that the British tactics OF forming souares
awaiting the shock of battle will not longer
answer against the Madhists and if per-
sisted in will result in rout and ruin.
In the stubborn fight between the Brit
ish and the Mahdists during the expedi.
tions of 1884 and 1885 the square was a
favorite formation with the British, who
met In this way the fiery charges of the
dervishes at Tamai and Abou Klea. Such
tactics were sound enough under the mil
itary conditions then existing. as the
tribes had few rifles and little skill with
this weapon. Thus solid formations,
which would have crumbIed to pieces un-
der fire, offer the best means OF meeting
the desperate rushes of the Soudanese
spearsmen. How formidable these
charges were was shown at the battle of
Tamai, where the Hadendowas crushed in
the face OF British square, captured sew
eral Gatling guns and forced the "Black
Watch" one of the toughest fighting regi-
ments in the British service, to give
ground.
We said at the time that if the Arabs
ever attained skill as marksmen, so that
their rife fire would match the excellence
of their spear work, the British would
have to give up the idea OF lighting in
squares and face the charges of the tribes
men in open order. If, as the correspond
serts, the dervishes are now able to COM
bine firearms effectively with cold steel,
the Anglo Egyptian troops have far
more formidable task before them in their
present invasion of the Soudan than Sir
Gerald Graham and Sir Herbert Stewart
had to deal with in the expedition OF 1884
and 1885.

from keeping up q succession of gains
by the breaking through and tackling of
the STAFFORD players.
Puntlng was feature on both sides. In
the first half Ransome's kicks did not
avail much, because of an adverse wind,
but in the second half, with the wind with
the ball, they resulted in big gains for
Berkeley. The quarterback kicks of Mur-
ply must receive special mention. They
were long and in most cases well placed,
and coming as surprises were quite ef-
fectual.
1t was loss to Berkeley in the second
half when Arkley was substituted for
WalIthall, who had sprained his back.
Arkley was handicapped in not knowing
the style of play of Carrie and consequently
was not as able to stand him off as if he
had played throug hout the game.
Greisberg put up against Fickert hard,
steady game. But few gains were made
through his position. Though not par
ticuiarly aggressive player, Greisberg is
strong on the defensive, and while he does
not hammer his opponent very hard he
sees to 1t that his own position is pro-
tected.
Simpsons work was well up to his aver
age IL was mdrkeO Dy nara, aggressive
playing on the offensive and by QUICK,
accurate tackling. He got into every play
and always managed TO do some good.
OF Ludlow more was expected. He did
not approximate the work he has been
doing in practice for some time past. Re-
peated gains we're made through his posi-
tion and he did not seem to mix up his
opponent as he might have done. Though
his work was hard and savage at times he
did not play steady game. AT ends both
Craig and McNutt held their own in good
style. Because Stanford did not attempt
end-running to any extent these two men
had an opportunity to rest up and to get
ready for the runners when they should
happen to come their way.
Both raade good tackles, and both
played with equal skill in breaking up
the interference of the opponents.
While it is hard to brook defeat. es.
pecially such an overwhelming one, there
is an element of satisfaction and consoIa-
tion in the knowledge that the Berkeley
men did their very best, and that the loss
of the game was in no way due to un.
sportsmanlike conduct, faintheartedness
nor lack of purpose.

The first division is not satisfied with
the outcome of the race, and has ehal-

occur shortly.
w. o. Patch, Matt Breen and Henry
Bode started over the course in their light
skiffs.
Halt way down they encountered heavy
seas, and two of them were upsei and had
to swim to the rocks.
On account of the roughness of the

A SUICIDE.
William Gibson Takes His Own Life
festerday-IIe Deliberately Plan
ned Self Destruction.

William Gibson committed suicide
yesterday afternoon at his home on
North Caddo street by taxing an
overdose of morphine. When found
he was dead. He had gone into his
barn, laid down on a plank, drew a
blanket up over his body, placed his
hat containg his watch, knife, other
trinkets and note, by his side, and
thus passed into the great beyond, a
victim to his own destruction. 1t is
said that for some time he had been
very abusive TO his wife, and nc
doubt his rash act was attributable
10 that fact. Mrs. Gibson is an in
valid and is a most estimable lady.
She is left with several small chill
dren, and her condition is a most
pitiabie one, q condition that should
appeal to the sympathy of the good
people of Ardmore.
The remains of the deceased were
taken in charge by Undertaken Apol-
los and were given burial in South
cemetery this afternoon.
