which is intended to permanently sup

but to be Of a more general character,
was organized few days ago, and the
articles OF Incorporation are now on file

The new association will bear the cor

have capital Of $4,000.
The officers elected for the incorpora
ton are @. w. Steele, president; A. b.

retary and A A. Miller, treasurer.
Yesterday afternoon the officers and
members OF the new ass citation took a
drive to points around the city for the
purpose OF selecting suitable sic for
the grounds. A number Of places we'll
adapted for the purpose were visited and
examined. There were several pieces Of
ground with which the gentlemen were
we'll pleased. No decision was made re-
Rarding the location of the grounds, but
it is to be secured wherever most con-
venient for the purpose intended, and
it's general adaptibility.
1t is to be hoped that this new associa
ton will be permanent and supply that

Battle Near Krugersdorp.

London Dec. 20-Reports from Johan-

being fought near Krugersdorp between
the Beers under Delarey and the British
under Clements The Beers are said to
be numerous.
Gen. Delarey inflicted severe defeat
on Gen. Clements last week, and it is
supposed the British general, reinforced, /,
has caught up with the Beers again.
The war Office last evening could give
no information regarding the reports Of
Boer invasion of Cape Colony.
According to the Daily Mail, private
kilograms received in London yesterday
depict the situation in Cape Colony as
somewhat ominous. 1t seems that the
invading Beers are receiving considerable
assistance from the Cape Dutch and that
the troops at the disposal Of the British
authorities are not sufficient to cope with
Any serious spread OF the military opera
tions. 1t is believed that the govern
ment has at last awakened to the serious
ness of the situation, and is making the
utmost efforts to provide Lord Kitchener
with horses and mules.

cording to the official accounts, we're 80
