MATCH IS OFF"
w. Wood is Sick and Will Not
Meet Wela IA HaO.


During yesterday forenoon Mr.. Dur
fee, trainer and driver of the horse w.
Wood, advised Col. Cornwell, the own
er. to forfeit in the match that had
been arranged with Wela ka Hao for
this afternoon. Durfee reported that
the horse was suffering severely with
influenza. Wela ka HaO is just recOy-
ering from the same sickness. He re-
ceived treatment between the heats on
the Fourth of July. On the Fourth w.
Wood was in the early stages of the
sickness. At one time on the home
stretch, when Durfee attempted to send
the horse to the front he staggered so
badly that the sulky struck the fence.
This was not generally known the day
of the race.
In q conversation yesterday Mr.. Gun
ningham said he was sorry that Wood
was still sick. His own horse, he con-
tinued, was not yet entirely well. Mr..
Cunningham, on account Of departing
from his usual custom Of keeping his
race horses in his private stables all
around meet time, did not realize the
condition of Wela ka HaO on the
Fourth till there had been couple OF
| fast heats.
The match may be brought off later.

TRADITIONS OF THE DELUGE.
Legends That Were Not FIOated In
the Ark.
From the Church Gazette

From the Church Gazette.
The legend of a deluge forming part of
ancient cosmogony is naturally widely
spread, but it is not found among some
of the great nations of antiquity. The
Hebrews, Babylonians Greeks, the tribes
of North, Central and South America, ana
abroigines of Australia, have traditions,
but the Arabs. the Egyptians, the Per
SLAMS, the Chinese, the peoples of North
ern and Central Asia, are entirely ignor-
ant of an event of the magnitude and
calamitous nature such as is described in
some of the records that have come down
to us. On examining the flood stories
themselves told by various nations, we
find certain features in common. The
most striking feature with regard to them,
however, is not their affinity but the diff
ferent versions which they give of the
cataclysm.
The Babylonian account, which reaches
us in a two-fold form, deserves the first
place as the oldest of the records. Before
the discovery by Mr.. George Smith of the
eleventh tablet of the lZdubar series, 200O
years b. c., the story, as given by Be
rosus was the only one known to US. In
the Babylonian narrative the flood is de-
scrbed as inspired by divine justice-re-

ton: Il watched the sea making a noise,
and the whole of mankind was turned to

l was grieved, and SAT down. l wept;
over the fortress Of my nostrils went my
tears" At last the ship stopped on the
mount of Mir. A dove and swallow
sent forth returned, but a raven let out
on the seventh day, did not come back.
The account concludes with a dispute
among the gods. Bel was filed with an
ger against the other gods and the spirits
of heaven, and desired that no human be
ing should be saved. LET no one come
out alive; never may a man live in the
abyss" But Hia, god of knowledge and
of the waters, interceded.
The RigVeda contains no reference to
the flood story, and it is, therefore, prob
ably not an original Aryan myth The
legends embodying a deluge story are
found in the ''Satapatha Brahmana," The
'Mahabharata" and the "Bhagayata Pu-
lana"
An interesting point is the purifying eff
feet ascribed to the deluge-a notion put
forth in The first epistle of 81. Peter,
where the deluge is represented as sym
bolical of baptism. In the last mention
ed of the Indian versions Brahma is
asleep. During his slumbers a demon
steals the Vedas. The flood is brought
about in order to restore the genuine We
das and 10 prevent their Justification. The
guardians of the sacred lore are saved,
also a number of plants and animals.
The Greek stories are more or less ia
miar; SO it will be enough TO call at
tention to some of their peculiar charac-
teristics. There are two principal legends
the one connected with Cgyges; the other
with peucalion. In its latest form
neither Homer nor Hesiod mentions the
deluge story-the son of Prometheus and
Pandora, and Pyrrha, his wife, are repre-
scented as driven away from their home
by a great flood. Taking refuge on a
little ship they land on Mount PaTnassus
whence they descend to found the first
city and 10 call into being a new hu-
mainly With yelled heads they take
their stand and throw stones behind Them
from which springs another generation
taking the place of the old one destroyed
by the waters. In commemoraton of
this recreation of the world the Athen-
ians kept an annual festival
The original legend mentions a local
flood, but in the hands Of Ovid and Apollo
dorus it assumes considerably larger d.
mansions. Lucian O60 A. ID gives the
story a decided oriental coloring Deu-
Gallon is credited with the foundation Of
a temple, in whose vicinity was a large
cleft, which, long ago, formed a recep-
tacle for the waters of the deluge. Deu-
Gallon was saved from the general de-
struction in a large box, which contained
in addition to himself his wife, pigs
horses, lions and serpents. The box is
supposed to have reached Mount Lebanon
where Deucalion built a temple in honor
Of Hera.
