testing.

posed OF W d. Townsend, II. S. Mcdonald,
Dick Klmball, Frank Crabin and Andrews,
won by the score OF ~ out Of Is, which was
excellent shooting considering the strong
wind which swept across the field. on the
last day Townsend made 90 per cent and
M.Donald 80, but the record OF tho shoot
was the splendid score made by Fred Gil
bert. OF course, being a professional, he was
barred from the money, yet he shot in all
the events for four days and out Of $50 he
missed only nine. Gilbert and Budd shot a
match race Of 100, and again Gilbert showed

placed $500 in New York and $3.50 ir this
city, and as he received . to pa he is win
ner about 81 lis. The doctor says that
Fitz has always been a personal friend of
his, but he was certain that he would lose
this time.

laJ A necessary preliminary to the
subsequent line Of play, freeing also the
Q B and the game generally.
(b) Better than X Kt-B 3 at once.
(c) This appears to be quite a novelty
and It's efficacy is doubtful. No doubt it was
an experiment. The Q B, however, is of
more use at Q B than at r 8, where, by the
next move, 1t Is intended to play that piece.
I'D 1t would be dangerous to play X
K Kt, and now a pawn is lost.
() Black maintains the attack much
better by refusing the tempting offer of the
exchange here. II BxR, QxB with a strong
game and an attack Of some force.
G) This fine sacrifice came as a genuine
surprise.
60 There is nothing apparently better
now, as mate is threatened; but of course
black gains more than he has given away
by his grand combination. The ending is
remarkably fine, and the whole game
original, suggestive and entertaining.

Chapman, Kan, is trying Saturday horse
racing to attract trade. The merchants offer
the lone and they report the investment
as proving a paying one. Chapman is located
midway between Abilene and Junction City,
two good commercial points, and the mer-
chants found that they were losing their
usual Saturday trade, the farmers going to
one or the other of the larger places. They
decided upon trying Saturday horse racing,
with cash prizes, to attract the farmers boys
with their supposedly speedy colts and
horses, naturally inferring that If the lads
came to town the fathers would come also.
For six weeks the sport has been going on
each Saturday afternoon, and will be contin-
ued all summer. Trade is increasing rap
idly at Chapman.

consisting OF the Universities of Cornell,
Pennsylvania and Columbia, is the only col
lege rowing association In the United States
holding an annual regatta in which the lead
ing colleges in the United States are invited
to participate. The chief object of this as
ISOLATION Is to afford an opportunity annu-
ally for rowing competition in order to
demonstrate which of the university crews
of the country is entitled to premier honors.
The annual regatta of this association will
be held on the Poughkeepsie- Highland
course on the Hudson river on June 26 and
81, 1899. There will be three events, as fol
lows:
The freshman eight-oared race between

ties Of Cornell and Pennsylvania, both OF
which events will take place on June 26.
The university eight-oared race between
the Universities of Cornell, Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin and Columbia, which will take
place on June 81.
The conditions under which these races
will be rowed this year will be the same as
those which governed the previous regattas
of this association, with such notifications
as may be decided upon by the board of
stewards, which Is made up as follows
Francis S. Bangs, Columbia; Prof. Benjamin
lde Wheeler, Cornell; Thomas Reath, Penn
sylvania. These stewards will have the Sc
lection OF the officials, which list will be
made UP of college men well known in col
lege aquatic circles. The stewards OF the
intercollegiate Rowing association expect to
formulate plans. which will insure the future
annual regattas OF the association being more
representative than the one of this year and
those OF previous years, and with this end in
view they have expressed the intention of in
viting all the prominent colleges interested
in owing to organize rowing departments
30 as to insure each college having represen-
tation In the annual regatta OF the Intercol-
legiate Rowing association in 1900. The
stewards of the intercollegiate Rowing as
ISOLATION have expressed themselves as being
favorable to including additional events for
the 1900 program. The program for 1900 will
probably include freshmen and university
races In the following events: Single scull,
double scull, four-oared race, eight-oared
race, and II may be that other special events
will be added. This program Will admit OF
Yale and Harvard entering In the single,
double or four-oared events. and still con
tinue their dual Harvard Yale eight cared
race at New London, and the date Of the
annual regatta OF the intercollegiate Rowing
association for 1900 will, II necessary, be SO
arranged as to admit OF Harvard and Yale
rowing their dual race at New London and
afterwards competing In the annual regatta
OF the intercollegiate Rowing association
over the Poughkeepsie- Highland course IN

FOUR BOXES DID IT.
Remarkable Success of New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for months or
years from the pain and Inconvenience of
that common disorder, piles, will look
with skepticism upon the claims of the
makers of the new discovery for cure of
All forms of piles, known under the name
OF pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless, the
extraordinary cures performed by this
remedy are such as to warrant the inves-
tlgation of any sufferer. AS a case in
point, the following letter speaks for it.
SELF
Mr.. Henry Thomas of sub-station No. 8.
Hosack ave-, Columbus, Ohio, writes as
follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.'S,
Gentlemen-I want you to use my name
If it will be of any use to you. 1 was so
bad with piles that 1 lost work on that
account. Nothing helped me- ! read in
Cincinnati of the many cures of piles by
the Pyramid Pile Cure, and 1 went to a
drug store and asked for it. The drug
clerk told me that he had something else
that he thought was better. but l told
him that I wanted to try the Pyramid
first.
The first box helped me so much that
l tried another, and then 20 complete the
cure used two more boxes, making four in
all. / am now completely cured. Have
not trace of piles, and had suffered
for four years with the worst kind of
protruding piles.
suffered death from piles, but have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as
represented. have recommended it to
several of my friends, and am thankful to
be able to write you what good the rene
dy has done for me.
Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure because it contains no opium, CO.
game or mineral poison of any kind, and
because 1t is so safe and pleasant to use,
being painless and applied at night. The
patient is cured in a surprisingly short
time and with no inconvenience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at 50 cents per package, and If there
is any constipation it is well to use the
Pyramid Pills at the same time with the
Pile Cure, as constipation is very often
the cause of piles, and the pills effectual-
" remove the costive condition. Price OF
Pllls Is rs cents per package.
Write to Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,
Mich, for little book on cause and cure of
piles; sent by mail free.
