three-q quarters Of a mile from our camp, a
protracted tandango was In progress and
we knew It. 1t so happened that at this
time nearly all the boys were in bad stand
ing with Captain McNelly and Lieutenant
Robinson for going across the Rio Grande
a few nights before and shooting out the
lights at a fandango there, and we were
under strict orders not to leave camp with
out permission We didn't like this bit
and the grumbling was loud and contin-
uous. Captain McNelly was called away
on some business and Lieutenant Robinson,
a very charming fellow from Virginia, was
in charge. committee waited upon him
with the request that few of us should be
permitted to 90 to the fandango each night,
but he declined to entertain the proposition

AS to the policy OF Great Britain In South
Africa since the occupation of the Cape OF
Good Hope in 1906 the varying kaihr wars,
the struggle for Natal, and the temporary
annexation of the Orange Free State, the
whole record is one OF the extinction OF
Dutch interests and a cold disregard of the
business of the innocent Boer population
The discovery of the vast local riches In
gold and diamonds has sealed the doom OF
the smaller South African states. Al the
outset CT this bloody war England has pur-
! chased for herself a strong place OF arms IN
! Deiagoa bay from which to reach the heart
OF the Transvaal by a 25O-mile line OF march,
| instead Of the 600 stretching out to the Cape
Of Good Hope. The payment of a score OF
millions for this naval base while peace ne
gotiations with President Kruger's govern

| conclusively proves the pre-determination OF
| England TO extingush all Boer sovereignty,
regardless of whatever concessions might be
! made by a weak republic in the face OF the
all l-conquering British lion.
No man dares to assert that the Beers

LITTLE GIRLS wANDERINGS.
Esther Ritchie Started For School and
Landed at MURRAY.

Esther the 7-year-old daughter OF
Mrs. Annie Richie, who lives on the
corner of Second and + streets, left the
lowell School,at a. m. yesterday, and
was not heard of again until $3.50 in the
evening, when, to the intense amaze
ment of her parents and the police, she
was reported found at Murray. How
the child ever got so many miles
from home is a mystery. Her mother
sent her to school yesterday morning,
the building being less than a block
from the Richie home. AS Esther's
classes did not come until afternoon,
the teachers sent her home soon after
she arrived, never doubling that she
would find it, The Ritchies but recent
" moved here from Hot Springs. and
the little girl was unfamiliar with the
neighborhood. When she did not come
home after school, Mrs. Richie notified
the police, the teachers and the school
children knowing nothing of the child's
whereabouts. All day a sharp look
out was kept for her, but nothing was
learned until telephone message from
Murray conveyed the information that
a lost, child had been taken in there
She was sent into the city on the 10
o. clock car.

Pugilisn1.
TOM RYAN BESTS FRANK CRAIG
HARLEM MAN GETS TERRIBLE
DRUBBING.
Ryan Was the Favorite, but Craig
Was Expected to Do Much Better
Than Re Did.

New York, Sept 1S.-Tommy Ryan,
the Syracuse middle weight pugilist,
gave Frank Craig, the Harlem Coffee
Cooler" a terrible drubbfng before 1000
persons at the Coney Island Sporting
club tonight. Craig only recently re-
turned from England, where he has
been making quite reputation and
plenty Of money for some three years
past.
Craig was introduced as Frank Craig
of England, and this announcement
provoked some merriment and a good
deal of kissing.
Both men were in splendid condition,
and each, when he weighed in two
hours previously, was under 15S pounds
That Ryan would defeat Craig was
generally believed, but from the glow
ing accounts of Craig's doings among
the Britons, everyone looked for much
better fight than that which the colored
man put up. He knocked Ryan down
in the second round. but never after
ward did he hold the upper hand.
Ryans fast work in the fourth round
told on Craig, and two heavy rights
over the heart at the opening of the
fifth round did not improve his condi-
ton. Ryuns left played a tattoo on
Craig's face and the colored man began
splitting blood.
In the sixth Ryan sent his right I'M
der the jaw and uppercut him with his
left on the face. This brought more

New York, Sept 1S.-The Shamrock

Hook today. starting from the Scot

teen-nile course to the windward and
return. The Irish boat certainly showed
great speed. especially on the run home
in an increasing breeze, making the
last fifteen miles in hour and IA min
utes, a remarkable performance, con-
sidering that her sheets were apparent

was a broad reach. Her beat to the
mark was also made in good time, al
though the last five miles We're sailed
with sheets lifted, as the wind shifted
from southeast to south, letting her up
in good shape.
The breeze kept increasing on the run
in and the yacht rapidly dropped the

neither had good view of the big boat
as she passed the lightship and the
time had to be taken from shore. She
covered the thirty miles in 3 hours, %

The trial was one of the most sue
cessful that the Shamrock has had, and
all on board seemed to be well satisfied
with her performance. She will prob
ably go out again tomorrow.

During the next two rounds Ryan
kept the negro busy trying TO defend
himself.
In the ninth round Ryan sent right
and left three times to the head. Then
he sent Craig to the floor with right
swing. Craig remained down about
eight seconds and then dropped three
times. on one knee to escape punish
ment. Ryan finally got him up and
pummeled him with right and left.
Craig seemed to be quitting and
dropped twice more. Ryan and Craig
fell and Craig lay on top, hugging Ry
ans body with his arm until the referee
got them apart at the bell. Craig stag
gered about blindly and RYAN awaited
an opportunity for swing.
In the tenth Ryan lost no time in
going for his man. He rushed him and
sent both hands to the head and body.
Craig landed two wild swings on Ry-
ans head and shoulders, but Ryan
kept puching him all over the ring.
Craig staggered about biindly. Tommy

STEINER DEFEATED.
Gus Rubin Gets Decision In Six
Rounds at Denver

Denver, Colo, Sept. 1S.-Gus Rubin
defeated Jack Steiner in contest to-
night before the Olympic Athletic club,
the decision being given in his favor in
the seventh round. Steiner, though
game, was clearly too weak to last
much longer, and Referee Masterson's
decision was heartily applauded by the
crowd.
Rubin gained a decided advantage at
the outset, and had his own way most
of the time afterward, but at that,
could not knock out Steiner. In the
beginning Rubin omitted the custom
airy sparring and rushed at Stelzner,
knocking him down with stiff left.
Jack was up again in a few seconds and
Rubin, with another rush, floored him
again. Steiner remained down eight
seconds and by clever ducking and
lodging saved himself further punish
ment until the bell rang.
Ruhlin did most of the leading though
occasionally Steiner would rally with
a good punch. In the fourth round
Rubin hit Steiner exactly fourteen
times in the face and jaw though not
flooring him.
In the fifth Steiner went down from
a right upper cut and was saved by the
bell. Again in the sixth he was f1oored
and getting up, missed a lead and fell
from weakness.
After Rubin had f1oored Jack twice
in the seventh the fight was stopped
and the decision given to Rubin.
Steiner was badly punished.

JEWISH HARVEST FESTIVAL.
Beginning of the Feast Celebrated at
the Synagogue.

Rabbi Loewenstein delivered most
able sermon at the synagogue last
night, his subject being The Harvest
Festival. The occasion was the be-
ginning of the feast of booths, which
is synonymous with the harvest festi-
val. This particular feast of the Jewish
New Year lasts for seven days. 1t be-
gan in the church last night. Accord
ing to custom, the first and last days
of the feast are celebrated. The feast
is supposed to commemorate the time
that the children of Israel wandered in
the wilderness, when they were an
agricultural nation, and when, by the
law of Moses, they were required to
bring to the church a certain portion
of their harvests.
The altar last night was beautifully
decorated with palms and harvest
fruits. The choir rendered a number
of appropriate selections. The services
were solemn and impressive, and the
congregation followed with the closest
attention the rabbits remarks upon the
nature of the feast that they were cele-
brating. The services today will be
held at 10 clock this morning.
1t is the intention of Rabbi Loewen-
stein, who has accepted the call ex-
tended to him by the congregation, to
organize the Sunday school within the
next month.
