\ HOLY WAR.
That Is what This Nation Will Begin,
Says Rev. MIR. Jenkins.

Rev. Burrs A. Jenkins, pastor of the
Third Christian Church, preached a sermon
to the commercial travellers of the city
yesterday morning. There was a large at
tendance of commercial men, each wearing
some patriotic emblem on the lapel of his
coat. The church was decorated with the
American flag. Mr.. Jenkins found his text
i'll Psalms xvii, IL: Lead me in IL plain
path" He spoke of the value of roads and
roadmakers, and said that where roads
have gone civilization, education and re-
ligOn have followed. Had China built roads
instead of a wall it might have been u civil

I'VE are indebted to ancient Rome con-
tinued the pastor, for unrolling her great
white roads like ribbon all over the world,
thus preparing the way for the Apostle Paul
to travel, protected by his Roman citizen

glish-speaking race that we are indebted for
road-making. Throughout the world have

GAVE A JOINT EXHIBITION.
Social and SOuth-Side Turnvereins at
TOmIinsOn Hall.

The Social and South Side Turnverein
united in giving a gymnastic exhibition at
Tomlinson Hall last night under the drec-
ton of Hermn Osterheld and Curt Toll,
physical directors of the two associations.
About three hundred members of the various
classes participated. The large audience
present applauded the efforts made to en-
terrain them and seemed much pleased with
the performance. There was much COM
mendation for Messrs. Osterheld and Toll
and both were the recipients of floral gifts.
The entertainment opened with a grand
march by all the participants including the
ladies and gentlemen and the members Of
the boys and girls classes. A little tot of
a boy brought up the rear carrying a Cuban
flag bigger than himself. He waved it
gracefully, however, and that was the signal
for prolonged applause. The gymnastic
students formed a striking picture, COM
petely filling the big stage. AS they filed
off the Cuban flag was placed among the
decorations of American flags in the back
ground.
After the march came an exhibition by
the boys class, containing boys between
the ages of six and ten years. A pretty
movement was the flag drill Each boy held
Il small American flag in either hand and
as they were furled back and forth in the
calsthenic exercises the effect was striking.
Following this the boys amused the audi
ence with pole climbing. Some scaled the
tall poles as quickly and gracefully as
squirrels, but others were unable to accom-
plish the feat Following this tifty-four
young girls in navy blue costumes with
sailor blouSes, went through various eVolu-
tons, including "a very pretty march to
stately minuet music.
The second boys class Gen to fourteen
years Old gave a dumbbell exercise that
showed good drilling and which was gen
erously applauded This number close with
companion exercises on five bucks. the boys
forming high pyramids. Following num-
Der by the second girls class, which in
cluded wand exercises, German song fol-
lowed by dance movements, the girls and
ladies' class gave what was the feature of
the first part, apparatus work. Some of the
feats accomplished on the parallel bars and
ladders were difficult and the gracefulness
and ease with which they were accom-
plished surprised the audience into the
heartiest applause of the evening. The
ladies wore pretty costumes of while sailor
blouses and blue divided skirts.
The most difficult work was done by the
mems and youths classes after the inter-
mission. A number of the feats performed
on the gymnastic apparatus are seldom un-
dertaken outside the circus. The barbell
exercises by the ladies class, the calsthenic
exercises by classes of the public schools
and the club swinging were worthy of spe-
cial mention. The entire performance closed
with the formation of pyramids by the
youths and mems classes.

A HOP ALE SUNDAY.
A Great Crowd at Brighton Beach
Yesterday.

Gambrinus reigned king at Brighton
Beach yesterday, when 1000 men and boys
journeyed to the notorious resort beside the
canal and watched a makeshift game of
baseball. No admission was charged at the
gate, but the mass of humanity that crowd
ed into the scorching 'beachers' like sar-
dimes in a box were in possession of thrsts
so well developed that when the colored
waiter passed by crying, Here's a nice
cool drink! Hop ale, gemmen Buy one

soon the ground was Uttered with hop

dusky vendor held up bottle so that its
amber-colored and befrothed contents would
more realistically proclaim it's true char
acter.
The two teams. which were composed of
local professional, semi-professional and
amateur players, were debarred during the
game from imbibing any of the hop ale.

game the dash that made by the con-
soldated forces of baseball talent for the
bar would have done credit to a college
football team practicing the flying wedge.
Incidentally the game resulted in a score

THE WAITER USED A CLUB.
Yves StOut's Place Again the Scene of
a. Fight.

Two men, accompanied by two women,
entered Stouts restaurant in Market street
last night and ordered an elaborate supper
for four. After eating, the men escorted
the women to the door and then made a
dash from the place, but, however, not
quick enough to prevent a waiter from
reaching the last one out and administering
to him a severe beating with a club in lieu
of a settlement. No arrests were made.

The Way 60 Dock a catboas.

Making a dock will not be simple, on
account OF the necessity of killing the
greater part of tho bouts way before
touching the dock. In general this is done
by approaching at an acute anglo to tho
line you purpose to make the dock on and
rounding up abruptly by putting the rud-
der hard over and letting the sheet run to
spill the wind out of the sail This abrupt
turn serves to kill nearly all the headway
and should leave only enough for the boat
to carry up to the dock. The remaining
Roadway is checked by going up in the
bow and Tending off,
The abruptness of the turn and the
amount Of room allowed for rounding up
will vary according to the wind and can
only be acquired By practice. AT first
there will be just as much liability of your
killing the Roadway too soon and having
to get an oar out to pole up MS there is Of
not killing it sufficiently. In the latter
case, If you see the boat after rounding up
has too much momentum for you to check
easily by standing In the bow, drop tho
centerboard and weigh on it. The drag
glng OF the board on the bottom will form
most effective brake.-Harper's Round
