NEARLY DROWNED IN
SWIMMING CHANNEL
EoLBEIN HAS A NARROW ESCAPE
BUFFET1NG WAVES FROM
CALAIS TO DOVER
BLIND WHEN HE
COLLAPSED.
(By Associated Press.)

Dover, England, Aug. 26.-Mr. Hol-
bein, who Saturday, the anniversary of
Captain Webb's swim from Dover to
Calais, started from Cane Gris-Nez (be-
tween BoulogneSur Muir and Calais) in
an attempt to swim the channel, mar
rowly escaped drowning. He covered
the course to a point within six miles
of Dover and then collapsed, after hav-
ing been in the water IL hours and As
minutes.
The tug which accompanied him took
him from the water and brought him to
Dover yesterday morning. He was car
ried to a hotel in a semi-conscious state
and subsequently, on the advice Of his
medical attendants. was removed to a
hospital. where he lay for some time in
a serious condition. 1t was found that
his eNesight had been badly affected
by the salt water. Last night, however.
he had recovered and he announced his
intention of renewing the attempt.
Holbein's exploit was very renaarka ble
considering the roughness of the sea, and
has established a record. He found it
impossible to take solid food and subsist-
ed mainly on raw eggs. He also took
hot milk from feeding bottle. He swan
with powerful stroke alternately on his
back and on his breast. making a good
pace.
The first six miles from Cape Girls
Nez were covered in two hours and 25
minutes. Much of the time Holbein swan
with his eyes closed, owing to the effect
of the salt water. Instructions to him
were shouted through a megaphone ana
powerful acetyline lamps were lighted
to guide him. At the end of the sixth
hour he was swimming we'll. but he be.
gan to complain of an injury to his left
hip, sustained on the rocks at Cape Girls
Nez but not mentioned before.
After II o'clock he was once lost for
five minutes, big wave having swept
over him. He kept going steadily but
during the 10th and 18th hours a westerly
tide drifted him much out of his course
anu 1t was evident that the heavy seas
were having bad effect.
During the 18th hour his stroke weak
ened considerably and he seemed UNI
able to grasp the directions given him.
Twice he turned completely around At
4:20 a. m. it was decided to take him
out of the water. He was turning like
a top and hopelessly blind.
Allowing for his zig-zag course, it is
estimated Holbein swan 26 miles. When
he was taken from the water, Dover was
about five miles north-northeast Hol-
bein's next attempt he promises to make
next year.

Match Chon<
Match Shoot.

With the second and third rounds and
the semi-fnals and final of the 24-dog
stake. begun on the preceding Sunday
and an additional 16-dog stake on the
card at the local coursing park yester-
day, the sport was all that could be lie
sired. In fact it was considered the best
of its kind Butte has known for some
time. The hares were faster than ordi-
narily, despite the fact that they did
not arrive until Saturday, and that made
the chases exciting. Five of the long
cared animals beat the hounds to the
escapes. The crowd of enthusiasts was
above the average and the betting lively.
The dogs In the main ran to form, al
though some second choices landed the
money for those who backed them.
The final of the continued 24-dog stake
went to FitZ Regina, who beat Baraway.
Three hares We're liberated before the
decision was rendered. The first hare
was a poor one and the dogs We're not
slipped. The second was lively, but the
dogs got away unsighted and vera
brought back. Both got a good send off
after the third hare, and after a short
and decisive race Fitz Regina was de-
clared the winner
In the 16-dog stake, Defender ran
mara race with Court Beauty ana then
easily disposed of Jessie H. in the final
He was stronger than the opposing
hound and showed greater form in many
particulars. The results of the 24-dog

Wade Will Meet Mccarthy.

Now that Jack Wade has accepted the
challenge of Jerry Mccarthy, to box
tWerty rounds for the lightweight cham
pionship of Montana and the champion
ship cup recently won by Wade from
Oglesby, the sports have something on
which to speculate. The friends of the
"Wa!kerville pet" are sanguine that
Jerry, at 1876 pounds, will be able to do
things to Wade and the admirers Of the
latter are just as confident that there
will be nothing to the contest, but Wade
They say Mccarthy will simply furnish
the Salt Lake lad with light exercise"
Wade is certainly better ring general
than Mccarthy, has more science and
can hit hard Mccarthy on the other
hand is the stronger can stand great
deal of punishment and is game to the
core. He has a couple Of hard punches
tucked up his sleeve too, and his admir-
e,s believe he will use them to such ad-
vantage, as will make Wade suffer. The
bout should furnish some rare sport. 1t

Last of the Local Horse Races.
This day marks the beginning of the
ending of the meet of the Montana
Jockey club. The local racing season
will close next Monday-Labor Day
and then the scene will shift to Helena
and Great Falls later. The local meet
has been success. as far as the asso-
citation Is concerned and it is really re-
markable how the public stuck to it and
gave it the patronage it boosted of. 1t
could not have continued much longer
however. as there is such a thing as get
ting surfeit of even horse racing. When
the meeting concludes it will have con-
sulned 30 days, which is just about 25
or more days too many. One month of
racing would gave the public about all
1t wanted and during a meet of that
duration there would be a much smaller
chance Of the game getting stale.
