BALTIMoREs WON THREE STRAIGHT
Carroll Institute BOwIers' Visit the
Monumental City.

The Carroll Institute Bowling team pIay-
ed a return match with the Baltimore
Catholic Club on the latter's alleys in Bal
timore Saturday night. The Baltimoreans
proved invincible, as they defeated the WIS.,
itors in three straight games The games
were all lost by large margins. nearly a
hundred pins separating the sides in each
contest. The teams are playing a series
of fifteen games, and as the Baltimore
players won one of the games rolled in
this city a week ago the score stands four
victories for the Catholic Club to two for
the institute
The Washington team was somewhat
handicapped by the fact that Capt Cox.
who has been suffering with a split finger
was compelled to play, owing to the non
appearance Of an expected substitute As a
result, Cox BOWED low totals, but. in
spite of that. one man could not stop the
victorious rush of the Catholic Club These
players simply maintained their record for
excellent work, and little short of an acct

GREAT EMPIRES IN AFRICA.

From the New York Herald.

The present Cay and generation is wit
Messing the most colossal process of empire
building the world has ever seen. In Amer
lea the process is new and strange that
new terms ard issues are created-''inl-
perialism'' and "eXpansion''-terms which
many seem to think are exclusive to this
country. But glance at events now trans
piring in other parts of the world shows
that American expansion Is only an incident
in the world movement of empire building
AS if by coincidence, recent events in
different parts of the world have contrib
uted simultaneously, to this empire move
ment. These are:
1. The South African war and its effect
on the three great empires of Africa
French, British and German.
2. The breakup of China and the mapping
of spheres tor rev empire.
8. The Philippine war and it's effect on
the American possessions in the Pacific.
4. The British-Venezuela award, extend

Opening Day of the Jockey Club
Meeting.
The OCCASION MOST AUSPICIOOO
Saturday Contests on the Foot
Ball Field.
CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

The opening day of the fourth autumn
meeting of the Washington Jockey Club
Saturday was the most suspicious in the
history of the organza ton, between four
and five thousand persons attending, de-
spite the fact that the card was but an or
binary one. The grounds and buildings
presented a much improved and handsome
appearance, but the track was somewhat
slow, although not so much so as had been
predicted.
The feature of the opening day was the
starting of Mars Cassidy in the old-time
way, the starting gate being discarded.
While there was a delay of fifteen minutes
at the starting post in the first. the re-
naming starts were made rather promptly
and fairly even. On the whole, the flying
starts seemed to give general satisfaction.
Opportunities for Betting.
Thirty-fve members of the Metropolitan
Turf Association. the largest number ever
seen on a local track, accommodated those
of speculative mind, but as only two
taVorites won the talent finished second.

the first race easily. and Give and Take at
6 to l, had little difficulty in taking the
second. An outsider, Sibley, at % to /.

The Battle at Omdurman.

Tt has been said that the great bat
tie on September was a wholesale
slaughter, and no battle at all. 1t is
true the Dervish loss was prodigious;
but that can not be wondered at con-
sidering the numbers of modern guns
and rifles against which they hurled
themselves; but it must he remem-
bered that in fighting gainst fantical
savages there is no such thing as sur
render: it is a case of kill or die.
The comparatively small loss sus-
tanned by the Sirdar's force reflects
the greater credit on his admirable
conduct of the campaign.
Any one who has not served in the
Sudan can not conceive the state of
devastation and misery to which tina (
unfortunate country has been brought
under Dervish rule. Miles and miles
Of formerly richly cultivated country
lies waste; villages are deserted; the
population has disappeared. Thou
sands of women are without homes or
families. Years must elapse before the
Sudan can recover from the results
OF its abandonment to DerviSh ty-
ranny; burt it is to be hoped and may
De confidently expected. that in course
Of time, under just and upright gov
eminent, the Sudan may be restored
10 prosperity. and the great battle of
Septic mber viii be remembered as hav-
Ing established peace, without pros
perity, would have been impossible;
and from which thousands of mis-
guided and wretched people will reap
the benefits of civilization.
Lastly: let lis trust that the gov
eminent Of the Sudan may be for
many years under British direction.
for that is a guarantee of Justice;
Arab Sheikhs are unanimous in at
tributing the rebellion which assumed
religious form, to the oppression Oh
succession of Egyptian governors

ANYONE CAN JUGGLE.
All IL Requires IL u ears of Patient snd
Persistent Practice.

Kara, the wonderful juggler, who
recently filled a weeks engagement
in Kansas City at he Orpheum, makes
his rivals look like 80 cents marked
down to % j.. He performs the most
difficult feats as if they were all done
by the simple twist of the wrist and
goes ahead without waiting for APP
plause. He says there isn't single
feat he performs that another map
couldn't do who would devote suffic-
lent time and energy to it. He says:
What is the most difficult thing /
do? Well, 1 think it is my billiard
cue feat. / take three cues. / place
the small ends of two of them together
on the ground and balance the other
in a horizontal position ON the large
ends, thus forming a triangle. With
the cue in this position, balance
them and gradually allow the cues in
a vertical position to slide along the
horizontal one, until the latter itself
is almost vertical. I then drop the
first two and catch the ether on my
forehead, where it is balanced vertic-
ally.
'It took me nine months to become
perfect in this feat, so you can see
that learning ito be a juggler is seri-
GUS business.
another very difficult thing is to
balance cue on my chin, with the
small end down. and then work it up
until it is balanced on my forehead
with the large end down.
Another hard feat is to juggle a
table, chair and newspaper. What
makes this so difficult is the differ
ence in weight in the objects. 1 must
figure on the time it takes each one
20 drop a certain distance and there
fore must throw each to a different
height.
Another new one is to balance a
cigar and hat on my umbrella and
dhen throw them in the air, catching
the cigar in my mouth and the hat
ON my head at the same instant. Eyes
and nerves are needed for this kind
Of work."
