The Grand American Handicap, which

there were 81 entries. In the following
year at the same place there were 81 en-
tries, In 1895 the event was transferred
10 Willard park, Paterson, N. j., which
brought out a field of G1 wing shots. In
1896 and following years the race was
shot at l1lkwood Park, N. j., and in that
ypar 100 shooters faced the traps In
1897 there were 14S entries, in 1888 POI

BloenI Ifontein, April 1.-The Beers po-
sition in thursdays battle was one OF
great natural strength. Only the turning
movement of General French and Major
lie Calais, the laster commander Of the
mounted infantry, IN either 1sak in
sured the British succeAs.
The shape Of the kepSss wes irregu-
lar. The Beers right flank conSisted of
long hill with wooded Sides coHpected
with the main position by long, low
ridge thickly wooded. The rest Of the
position toward the left consisted Of
broken kopjes, all connected by a high
ridge.
Major LIE Calais moved round the
Boers' left and engaged them, first free
ly usirig his Vickers- MaXims, and grad
ually forcing the Beers toward the cen
ter. where they made good stand.
Major lie Calais was unable to move
until late in the day, while General
French moved early. The latter made a
wide detour toward the rear of the
Beers, but was unable to complete the
movement before the Beers perceived
his intention and abandoned the posi-
tion. They retired in good order be-
tween General French and Major lie
Calais, where the main body of the
Bocrs, with four guns, held an excellent
position on the edge of deep donga,
whence they shelled General French.
The Infantry Attack.
The infantry attack was delivered ali
midday, when the Norfolks opened the
fight by seizing the lower slopes of an
ugly kopje. Steadily they worked their
way to the crest of the hill, where hot
engagement ensued. The Lincolnshires
occupied the hill on the right, protecting
the Eighteenth battery, which dragged
its guns up the hill with the greatest
difficulty and opened heavy FIRE at
close range.
Meanwhile the city imperisls getting
in teuch with the Beers, the remainder
of fuckers division advanced across a
semicircular basin through which rail
way ran. 1t was very open ground,
and the Beers from the detached kopje
and ridge delivered heavy fire. In
spite of this, however, the British NOV
ed steadily, as if on parade. The advance
was protected by guns which vigorously
shelled the Boer positions.
About o'clock the British advanced
simultaneously and occupied the Beers
position, from which an excellent view
could be had of Brandfort, 10 miles dis
tant across the open plain. The BoeI
loss is unknown.

The Rhode island Campaign.

Providence, April IA review of the
state campaign, which is now practically
ended, is not Il task of very great mag
nitude. What public effort has been adj
vanced has been made by the Demo-
Gratis, and they have endeavored to
show what the present management Gf
the party can accomplish. Their rallies
have outnumbered those Of the Repub-
licans more than three to one, and their
attitude has been an aggressive one, but
there has been and is dissension in the
party ranks. In seven towns no Demo
cratic nominations fer the general as
sembly have been made, and the legis-
lsture is lost to the Democracy before ~
single ballot has been cast. The situa-
ton in the Republican ranks is vastly
different. With one or two exceptions
the party troubles have been disposed of,
although they will all break out afresh
after Wednesday, but the point now
sought BY the party directors is to car
ry the state ON that day.

| O,Gr ady, at Emporia a week ago that

probabh ity that the man was Of high
| birth. on, 'e removed from an Irish peer-
| age. O'Gh ady's death was due to the
bloodthirstin ess of the negroes, who, hay-
ing seen Walt er Cotton lynched, demand-
ed the life of the white man. He was
thought by man, to have been innocent
of crime and as Tn body lay on Che grass
after the lynching every one commented
on the refined featth es of the man. Let
ters received here fir. I'M William L.. ID.
O'Grady, clerk in the city clerks Office
in New York city, Indicate that the man
who died so ignominiousky at Emporia
was relative and direct heir to the Yfs-
count Guillamore Of County Limerick,
Ireland. The writer, who was captain in
the Eighty-eighth New York veteran vol
unteers, Irish brigade says in his letter:
If he was the person l fear he was,
there was only ons life between him and
an Irish peerage, .Ihcs knowledge of which
WINS no doubt rcSHnsible for some Of his
yagaries He was S5 years old, five feet
six inches in height weight about 140
pounds, silky brown hairs and gray eyes
lie was a very qusrrclsome fellow. He
had been in three real estate offices, two
lawyers offices, fruit importers, pub
lisher's and n patent medicine firm.
Regular ProdigaI.
"Then he went to Chicago with good
introduction, complete outfit of new
clothes and $50 and did we'll for year.
Then he turned up suddenly at his fa-
theirs house in rags, having got lost on
a cattle train, and starving.
The prodigal was again made decent
and for very brief space was employed
as a copyist in the registers office. Then
he had general quarrel with everybody
and went to England on a cattleshfp.
There he made himself known to an aunt,
who procured him a situation in bank
ing house in London, where he did well
and was twice promoted Then heS st
suddenly and has never since been heafo,
from. As six cattleships were lost within
a few days of each other in the fall of
1S9S just as he left his employment, it
had been surmised that he had d+ifted
back to a familiar employment and per-
ished
He was bright enough--earned So
week when only 14-and generally, after
little probation, got promoted to sala-
ry of from $40 to $15 week wherever
he went. In spite of his villainous, i'm
practicable temper, all of his employers
spoke well of his ability and unimpeach-
able honesty. He would lie down and die
rather than steal or beg, and when | read
that this tramp was found helplessly,
aimlessy camped in cabin where the
murderer was caught, it made me sore at
heart. OF course O'Grady had no Irish
brogue, for he was born in India and ed
ucatcd in America"
This description tallies exactly with the
man hangedSat Emporia except that his
beard showed signs Of gray, and he look
ed to be 40 years old Il difference that
might be caused by dissipated life.

denying Ills application for the pardon Of
Ben Ali, alias "lfrenchy," who IS serving
life sentence for the murder DC the old
woman "Shakespearc" in the Fast River
hotel in April, ls9i. The governor says
that no new evidence was furnished and
that he does not deem it advisable to re-
lease the convict at this time. Friends
Of ''Frenchy" are not discouraged by the
governors action and expect in the near
future 10 be able not only 10 prove abso-
Htcly his innocence, but to fastcn the
crime upon another.
