SIR THOMAS'S CHALLENGE.
1t VIII Issue Solely From the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club

London. Aug. Sir Thomas Upton has
consulted the Yacht Racing Association
and the Royal Yacht Squadron in regard
to his challenge for the Americas Cup,

low them to cooperate in giving TO the
challenge broadly International charac-

The council of the Yacht Racing Asso-
citation replied that their Jurisdiction was
confined to English waters and did not in
elude the Royal Ulster Yacht Club
Therefore, they were unable to act Off
cially in the matter, but would give in
formal support to the project.
The conference with the Royal Yacht
Squadron was dropped for reasons which
have not been announced, and the chal-

poIntment to Gothamites
New York, Aug. 5-Jim Jeffries the
California heavy weight, who aspires to
be the champion, took part in a disap-
pointing fiasco at the Lenox Athletic
Club tonight. He was billed to meet Roh
Armstrong and Steve O'Donneu in two
ten-round bouts with contract to stop
both before the limit was reached. He
met Armstrong and the latter STAYED ten
rounds in style that was anything but
boost for the Californian's prowess.
Jeffries was slow, awkward and appar-
emily too heavy to do any execution. He
fought with an injured hand, it is true.
but as Armstrong was never first rater
the big fellows showing was bitter dis
appointment Jeffries, after a half hour 8
wait, did not meet O'Donnell at all. be-
cause he said he had injured his left
thumb in the bout with Armstrong.
The clubs doctor ordered Jeffries not
to go on, although the latter insisted
upon having cocaine injected in the in
jured hand with the idea that he might
be able to continue.
The crowd was in anything but good
humor when it was learned that there
would be no more fighting, but the club
could hardly be blamed for the unfor-
tunate outcome.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form Of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break ost again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparila. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and it has never since returned"
