The good sized sum of s2579.10 was
paid TO Clerk Webster OF the common

morning. 1t was paid as the aftermath
of the agitation against gambling at
olHeyEaille- something over year and
half ago.
The fact that Gardiner Groves. Frank
Ballou. Russell Proctor and Warren
Staples were indicted as common gam
bers by the grand jury will be recalled.

there were many pyrotechnics, at the
trial he was found guilty and the 9TH

the decision OF the jury and though

could bring forward was advanced the
appellate court decided the verdict

Demands Withdrawal OF British
Troops From the Border.
Forty-Eight Hours Given Great Britain
to Comply Indications That Kru-
gers Hand Has Been Forced.

London. Oct. 10.-A London news
agency publishes the following dis
patch from Pretoria. filed there at 7:4O
p. m. yesterday:
An urgent dispatch has just been
handed 10 Mr.. COnynham Green, the
British diplomatic agent. requesting an
explicit assurance OF the withdrawal
within forty-eight hours OF the British
troops from the Transvaal borders as
well as the withdrawal of all British
forces landed in South Africa since the
Bloemfontein conference"
The more peaceful tenor of the morn
tngs news and comments had scarcely
been digested and aroused hopes that
President Krugers birthday would also
mark The commencement of the dissi-
patton of the clouds hanging over South
Africa. when the sensational announce
ment that the Transvaal government
had handed a definite ultimatum 10 the
British dipiomatie-ag in Pretoria
caused rapid slump In the hopes OF
those who believed that diplomacy
would save the situation.

ministers. at Sheffield yesterday con-
tained nothing to Confirm the assertion
made by the lingo press that the final
proposals of the British government
would contain sweeping aggressive
schemes and to this extent IL oiled the
waters. The peace party even deduced
from the dukes ultterances that a re-
formulation OF President Krugers pro-
posal Of a five-year franchise, minus
the suzerainty proxiso, would LEAD 10
such negotiations as would ensure
peace.
The officials at the colonial office
worked all night and Mr. Chamberlain
arrived there early this morning. In
some quarters it was intimated that
the government had received notifica-
tion Of the Boer ultimatum and were re-
lieVed in consequence. as the govern
ment considered the Beers now placed
in a position of having forced on war.

Mr.. Ballou told Judge Wilbur that

Proctor, who had mortgaged what he

hoped that at Sandy Hook the weather
would clear up this morning and that
the predictions from Washington of
breeze would come true.
The weather report from Long
Branch at 1870 said the wind was north.
northwest there. but very light with
the sea smooth and a thick fog hang
ing over the coast.
OBSERVATION OBSTRUCTED.
The Highlands of Navesink at a.
m. reported that light wind from the
west was blowing there at that hour
but that observation was completely
obstructed by the fog.
These weather indications were de-
cidedly not encouraging to those who
were hoping for fine yachting breeze.

Jected as the average citizen. They
Squinted around the horizon. concen-
trated their attention on the western
and northwestern skies. and then emit
ted the prophecy that the wind would
most likely come from the westward
and that IL the weather cleared up be-
fore noon the Columbia and Shamrock
might have breeze favorable to a
race.
RACE DECLARED OFF.
SO dense was the fog at the starting
point at $3.50 o'clock that the Judges on
their boats 800 yards from the Sandy
Hook lightship could barely discern
the latter shin which serves as one OF
the ends of the imaginary starting
line. Nor did the weather conditions
give any indication OF breaking away
this almost imDenetrable curtain. The
sun could barely make itself discern
dble through the soggy veil OF gray.
and there was fitful breeze of not
more than two knots.
The sea was so smooth that a child's
toyboat would have been safe upon its
bosom as the larger craft.
The race for the day was declared off
a little after IL o'clock. The Corsaip
was the first of the fleet to return from
the foggy vigil off the hghtship On
the way uD the decision for a post
ponement was reached. The police fleet
began to nose it's way carefully toward
the city and the excursion boats and
the press contingent followed. Tt was
said on board that IL was not known
whether the race would be sailed to-
morrow or Thursday.
Later IL was decided that the next
race should take place ON Thursday
and be continued eaoh day, Sunday ex-
cepted. until the contest is finished.
