An Exhiinratlng Winter sport which Is
Growing Quite Popular.

or all winter sports there is nothing
moro att-activo 60 tho skating enthusiast
than that which Is deliominatcd skate
sailing. The sport is not an absolute nov
city, but IL rs new u many skaters, and
this season Il seems TO have become very
popular fad. Rapid motion is always ex-
hilarating, no matter how the speed is at
talned. A straightaway on some big ice
field at the speed of an express train is
Joy which only the skntc sailor can know.
The equipment for the sport is very sim

piece of white duck about feet in height,
about o feet wide at the base, tapering 10
about feet wide nc the top. The spars
consist of ssrong but light mainyard and
OF two lighter spars, 60 which the sides of
the sail are fastened from top to bottom.
There are two sets of reef points ON the

"Two Little Migrants"

"Iwo Little Migrants" which ran for
nearly I5O nights at the Academy of
Music New York, will be seen at the
Providence opera house for the week be-
ginning Feb. y. The New York cast aud
ell the scenic accessories used in tho
Academy OF Music production will be
employed In the representation. 1.-TWO
Lite Vsgrsnts' is said to be a touching
human story, written In most convinc-
ing vein and played with artistic express
sion by The excellent company that
Charles Frohmsn has provided for il. The
play has made an immense success in
Paris where il mas been running for three
years at the Am bigu theatre and it Is also
a big SUCCESS in London. Ii is a play that
draws tears from the eyes that usually
remain dry during theatrical representa-
tions. The trials, privations. poverty and
strong affection for each other of the two
little waits who are tie central figures In
the emotional side OF the drama give
ample opportunity for an eloquent appeal
10 the sympathy of tho spectators. The
parts OF the two boys. Fan Fan and
Claude are played oy Miss Jessie Busley
and Miss Minnie Dupree in a way that has
ELECTED the un bounded praise OF the New
York critics. The lovers OF sensation and
startling stage pictures will find excite
ment enough to satisfs them in the won
derful fridge scene with its "resl water"
and tragic death Of the villain, and in the
double scene representing the apartments
OF the thieves in which one OF the boys
ana his recently discovered father dis
appear through sky-lig ht in the roof
only just in season to escape their per-
suers. In the cast are such well-known
players as Edward j. Ratcliffe. Thomas

The Jockey Club stewards. after an In
vestigation of the charges made by "Vir-
ginia" Bradley against the feat therweight
jockey, Tommy Powers, who ran away
from mis- employer at New Orleans, have
decided that Powers Will have to return to
Mr. Bradley and work out his apprentice
ship contract, which expires on August
10 next. The contract also contains
q privilege OF retaining Powers for two
years after serving his apprenticeship.
Powers claims that he ran away from
Bradley because his employer collected
the money for his mounts and refused to
turn il over TO Mr.. Powers, his father,
according to the terms OF his contract.
Powers will probably return to New

METHODS OF THE AFRIDIS.
A Sample of the Warfare Against
Which the British Troops Conend.

u sample OF the Warfare Against
Which the British Troops Conend.
London Telegraph: The Afridis' style
of fighting is especially adapted to the
geographical conditions of the country.
Every race, of course, has it's own
method of combat, and the Afridis
conduct their operations against an en-
envy in a manner altogether their own.
1t is as shifty as it is effective. Few
civilians can realize how deadly it may
become. 1t is bad enough when an en-
envy, creeping slowly up a hillside,
lodges itself in sections behind huge
powders, and, under cover of these,
pours volley after volley at the human
targets-as those engaged in the task
of guarding the summit become.
Watching the advancement of a foe is
not at any time an inspirlting occupa-
ton; 1t is worse to see the haIf-naked
Afridis creeping slowly and slowly from
bowlder to boWlder. This is what takes
place in broad daylight, but even then
the cunning A.fridi can circumvent ma
ture.
Take, as an Illustration of this. the
way in which Fort Saraghari fell. 1t
occurred in broad daylight, and within
sight of the neighboring fort of Cava-
gnari, where the stealthy operations of
the tribesmen We're observed by the i'm
perial troops Attempts We're made by
means of signals to warn the defenders
of the British flag of their danger, but
to no avail. Although considered inn
pregnable, Fort Saraghari, built of
square stone, with two leading bastions
at opposite angles, was fatally defective
in design. 1t had dead point un-
derneath each bastion, that is, a point
from Which an enemy could be neither
seen nor hit by the defenders.
The result was that while the con-
tending forces were firing against each
other-the defenders of the forts and
the assailants behind stone breast
works, and within ten yards of each
other-a few native born engineers"
among the Afridis who had crept up to
the dead" point were mining a breach
in one of the bastions. Before this
was made sufficiently large to admit
the savage tribesmen to make their
deadly rush into the fort, the under
mining operations were seen by the
small force holding Fort Cavagnari.
These signaled to their brothers in
arms the danger awaiting them, but
the latter were too busily employed in
repelling the onslaught Of the enemy
to benefit by the telescope obserya
lions of their comrades. And so every
one of the q Sikhs guarding Saraghari
died at his post.
All this took place on the afternoon
of Sept. y. If the Afridi was crafty
in daylight, his cunning at night be-
came superhuman. Many a sentry has
fallen silently and mysteriously in the
Indian night. A naked form, moving
stealthily in the dark as the sentry
PAGES backward and forward, getting
almost motionless as the sentry draws
nigh; sudden bound, followed by a
dagger thrust, this is the end of MANY
an Indian soldier, and the secret Of
many a tribal victory.
