Boer Fighter Comes Home.

J. A Gilbert. $500 State street, who

Great Britain, has returned full OF

Gilbert left Chicago last April in a

twelve engagements with the British,
my first being Speinefontein, and the
last Lindley. Lindley is $50 miles
from Pretoria. Here l was wounded
and was laid up in the hospital at
Meyersburg for four weeks. AS soon
as 1 got out 1 started for home. Out OF
the twenty-three who went to Africa
in that expedition, twelve have already
returned. The others are contemplate
ing staying there and taking up land
claims. The Beers have plenty of am
munition and good guns. They are
better marksmen than the English and
use tactics better suited to the physical
conditions of the country. When at

Tanning of Kennedy.

Another story that is told of Shafer
Is how he tanned A. ID. Kennedy, one
OF the most irresponsible dare-devils
that ever chased a circuit. 1t is said
that Asa Windle once offered Kennedy
$25 a week to keep off the big line-he
has such a bad influence on Eddie Bald.
1t was when Shafer had out his famous
pink team for Morgan & Wright, which
were Bliss, Kennedy, Rigby and Nc
Farland. Kennedy is a ~strapping big
fellow, considerably larger than Sha-
fer, n had so t~errorized his former
trainers that he could do almost any
thing he wanted. Shafer and he had
numerous differences, until one day
kennedy reached the limit, while the
party was waiting for a train at a little
jerkwater town down in Illinois.
AS the train hove in sight the racing
men started to get their traps together
but Shafer told them to wait a bit.
Now, Kennedy" says he we're 60
ing to let the train go by, and you and
l are going to have it out. Well go
over the hill yonder, and one of us is
either"
Shafer stood ready to carry out this
bluff, but Kennedy weakened, and ever
after hat the big fellow from Chicago
was one of Skaters most tractable pu-
pills. This one incident probably ex-
plains why Shafer made such a good
trainer; he had full command OF his
men at all times, and they knew that
when "Old Sidney Eye" said anything,
he meant 1t.

The Highland Club has done the right

ing a bus service from Altenheim Sta
ton to the links and return. The bus
leaves the station on the arrival of the
one O'Clock motor on Wednesdays, Sat
urdays and Sundays, and departs from
the links at six o'clock.
During the past week the Woodsdale
course has had many accessions or both
sexes practicing In order to reduce their
handicaps. Such a spirit is highly COM
mendabIe and distinguishes the genuine
sporting quality from the mercenary
one.
Some of the score cards already re-
turned by players who intend compet-
ing for the trophies are surprises. Play
ers who made the IS holes last season
as low as 10S Z 112 are unable so far
to do better than lis to 124. while 9TH
ers VINO could not do better than 129
to $50 last year, are showing decided
Improvement by returning scores Of 105

The success of the bicycle side path
movement, together with the unques-
TONED benefit and convenience of side
paths, particularly in and about cities
OF 100, 900 inhabitants and upward to
zoo, 900, will undoubtedly give an impet-
us to the movement this year. This
may be anticipated with greater certain
ty for the reason that the League Of
American Wheelmen, as an organiza-
tion, is now devoting much time to this
and other practical causes in the inter-
ests of cyclists. The side path for cy-
.clists is fully as necessary as the briole
spath to equestrians, and the growing in
terest of the wheel during the past few
years has entitled it to fully as much
consideration at the hands of legislative
bodies as either the road driver or
equestrian is entitled to.
