SMALL BOYS RESORT
 TO THE USE OF GUNS
Negro Drew a Pistol on White Boy, Who Retorted With His Own
 Artillery.

Two dminutive representatives of the Caucasian and African races in the shape of small boys engaged in lively scrap at Thirteenth street and Second avenue late yesterday afternoon, both bringing huge pistols into play.
 The white lad fired one shot, but it was mot effectual, except in so far as it put the 'cullud' boy and his packers to utter route.
 The negro was somewhat larger than the iwh-oe boy. and was first to pull gun. To the surprise of the crowd who had been enjoying the sport up ito this time, the white "scrapper" reached back into- the hip pocket of his knee-oreeches and drew forth a large nickle-plated revolver and without any hesitancy pulled the >erIgger. The negroes seeing they had struck a lad with nerve trekked over a neigh0 oring kopje carrying the big gun with them. No arrests were made.

TROUBLED ABOUT

 Done Toward Relief. ROBERTS HAS NOT MOVED General French Has Returned to Bloem- fontein Without Having Headed
 Of Commandant Olivier's
 Heavy Baggage Train
ROBERTS HAS NOT MOVED

London, March 27.-4:15 a. m.-Military observers here and even those in close utilization with the war office are consid- erably confused as to what is being done for the succor of Mafeking. Some five thousand or six thousand men are engaged with Lord Methuen at Warrenton and Fourteen Streams, and now another column is about leaving Kimberley, If it has not already started for Griquatown, eighteen miles westward. Its ostensible purpose is ito drive out the Boers. The force is de- scr1bed as 'istrong one," and the expedi- tion Is 'likely to attract much attention" !"
 General French is reported from Bloem- Tontein Sunday as returning from Thatoa Nichu, without apparently having headed off Commandant Olivier, with his fifteen guns and miles of baggage.
 General Buller's patrols had sharp skirmish Sunday at Waaschbank. -
 Lord Roberts infantry has now been quiet for fourteen days, and news of an advance is hourly expected at the war office. Messrs. Wolmarans, Fischer and Vessels, the peace envoys from the fed eral troops, are due in Naples in a few days. After visiting two or three Euro pean capitals, they will to New York via Antwerp. It is understood at The Hague that they are invested with large powers, and are prepared to agree to anything looking to intervention.
 The Times prints a statement from Cape Town to the effect that the Boers, after deducting heavy losses, are probably un- able now, to put more than 5000 men on tine fighting lines.

FAITH IN SUCCESS
 OF MAY FESTIVAL
One of Directors Offered to Un-
 derwrite Guarantee Fund.
MET WITH PROMPT REFUSAL
It is Estimated That the Receipts Will Reach $4, 4,ooo-Meeting of Direc- tors to Arrange Details-Com-
 mittees Appointed

The May festival board of directors held a meeting at the News office yesterday aft ernoon, with President Rhodes in tSe chair There was a full attendance, and many de- tails were discussed. One of the dirsators has offered to underwrite the guaranteed cost of the coming festival, but it is nos likely that the offer will be acceptea. The guarantee fund amounts to $3,500. This will cover the entire expense of the fes- tiyal. It is estimated that the receipts will be considerably over $4,0O0. The member of the board who made the proposition to un- derwrite the business was figuring on profit of $500 The majority of the mem- bers took this view: If it is likely that profit of $500 would accrue from the fes- tival, it would not be. advisable to let that amount go out of the treasury of the as sociation, for all over $3,5O0 this year will be applied to the guarantee fund for 1901.
 A subcommittee was appointed to confer with the railroad companies, and arrange for reduced rates to the festival.
 Robert Jemeson, a member of the board made proposition to illuminate the ap- breaches to the Auditorium with a special ly designed system of electric lights on the night preceding the festival and the two nights of the festival, at a price not to exceed cost. His proposition was accepted. The festival will consist of three grand concerts-Thursday night, May 10 Friday afternoon, May Il, and Friday night, May Il.
 Great satisfaction has been expressed that the closing night is not to be Satur- day, as was the case last year. Hundreds of salesmen and saleswomen find it impos- sible to attend any entertainment on a Saturday night. as all the retail stores are open until Il o'clock D. m on that night. prominent merchant gave 1t as his estimate that $500 more would have been received at the last festival if there has been no Saturday night performance

The table was loaded with victuals fit for the gods to eat, prepared by Mrs. Bolin. It is no use for me to try to do the subject justice here, but assure you I did at the table. l was only out done at the table by Stout and Camp bell. but don't bear them any i'll will. Poor fellows, they couldn't help it; their wives are gone, and they are keep ing bachelors hall at their respective places and doing their own cooking, and it is no wonder they could eat at such a table. The only failure at the table was in the toasts-everybody was too full for utterance. Supper over, and the bride and groom having receiV- ed quite 8 number of presents, among which was baby cup and spoon, Capt. O'Connor announced that all who de- sired to dance could repair to the Club room, and it is needless to say that nearly all wanted to dance-oven Campbell and Stout-but then, think they danced more to settle their sup pers, than anything else. At Il o'clock the party broke up, wishing MT. and Mrs. Weitzman a life of happiness, and that they might live to enjoy and cele- brate their diamond wedding.
