A. s. Perry Holds the Magnet that thus
 Draws Public Attention.

LOS AuSeleS uulIlS rleSld NeIS d SSl- ies of Imperial views which were thrown on the wall of Simpson Block city of Los Angeles, from vitascope located in Stowell Block, and operated by the well-known vitascope expert A. S. Perry.
 There were twenty-five of these views, and these views were inter spersed with brief statements relative to the Imperial Canal System and Set dement's that were of great interest to the general public.
 Occasionally a moving picture of comic character was presented to give variety to the entertainment, but the intense interest of the multitude in the streets was centered in the informa- tion given and the photographic views that presented this great irrigation system so vividly to their view. Spring street was packed with peo- pie for an entire block night after night, so great was the interest mani fested. So great was the crowd that the street cars were compelled to go slow and keep in the middle of the road" and exercise great care to clear the track so as to proceed on their way.
 The program was repeated several times each evening and many people remained in position from beginning to end, so as to be sure and obtain all the information to be had

On Saturday night, March %, Frank Gotch

Kansas City will engage IN wrestling
bout at the Troeadero, which from the
conditions Of the match promise to be the
hercest match Of the kind seen in Omaha
in months. Gotch k to throw Coleman
twice in an hour or lose. The man who
has undertaken this task is heavier than
his opponent. and stronger, but is no
foxier, and he has certainly lined out a
job of work that ought to make him hustle.
Coleman weighs about ITO ponds and is q
bunch OF slnew all the way. He earned an

BOXING EVENTS OF PROMISE
Omaha Athletic Club Has Good Card
Arranged for Next
Session.

Though neither man is we'll known In

club thus far. True, the Smith Gardner go

the fact that the coming battle is a welter-

favor over its featherweight predecessor.

Two other events OF interest will furnish
the bill at Washington hall. Paul Murray

six rounds. This should be a fast match.
Murray went out easily before Haley on
February rs, but he was outweighed. More
over, he has had far more experience than
Mustain. and his chances are certainly
good. Terry is a strong lad, with a terrific
punch at any old range, who has sprung
into prominence only recently. Just what
kind Of a showing he will make against a
man Of Murray's class is a question. He
Is hardly as fast as the colored man, but
is very cool-headed, and may get In that
one swing he needs.
The battle royal Friday night will be be-
tween three whites and three blacks. This
color combination has always been the
most successful scheme in making hot
royals. OF late they have deteriorated mis-
erably. The boys fall down at the slightest
excuse, some before they are hit at all. and
they show a dread Of beginning anything.
No more such battle royals will be suffered
BY the club.

Harry v. Emanuel, a local Western
Union telegraph OPERATOR" says the Phil
adelphia Record, has returned to
Philadelphia from the telegraphers' tourna-
ment at Atlanta. Ca, after having broken
the worlds record for receiving messages.
The test was made at the Kimball house, In
Atlanta. In thirty minute Mr., Emanuel
received fifty and one-half en-word mes
sages, breaking the worlds record-which,
by the way, he already held-by six mes
sages. This achievement illustrates the re-
markable advance made in telegraphy.
Twelve years ago, when Mr.. Emanuel was a
messenger boy, a man who could receive
fifty messages in an hour was considered a
wizard, n there were perhaps not more
than fifty operators in the country who
could do the trick. And now he has per-
formed this feat In half the time"

wants to. I've known her to go to q house

way into the confidence Of the bereaved
family, sympathise with them tearfully and
jolly them into believing that she was q
veritable angel OF mercy. She would ex-
plain that her paper had sent her for the

very rough ground or even by a pipe ditch.
as will be the case at the Country club
for a short time while the work is open.
The space alongside the line Of play Is
also forbidden ground. The golfer is sup
posed to follow a more or less accurate
path from a tee to a hole and II he pulls
or siices to left or right too far he gets
himself into territory which theoretically
and often actually is harder to get out Of
than the smoother surface Of the straight
and narrow path. The piping on the course
will be so planned as to follow such routes
as these.
So far the greens are in the same places
they we're at the close OF last season and
the holes also are in the position they
occupied during the last week or two. Some
alterations are to be made in location. how
ever, when the watering arrangements are
completed.
The ostensible opening Of the golf season
will come with a grand flourish about
April /. At that time there will be a
formal affair, with some tournament work
in the afternoon and a dance in the even
ing. About forty players will be on the
links every day the weather permits be-
tween now and that time and these devotees
will be In their last seasons form very
early.
From the way In which the season Is
starting out It seems that there will be
about twice as many golfers in Omaha this
year as ever before. 1t is almost as GER
tain thai there will be twice as many
skilled players. Quite a number OF men
have the firm intention Of entering the
National Amateur Championship tourna-
ment this summer. For the first time In
the history Of golf in the United States
this event has been brought west. 1t will
be played on the Glenview course near
Chicago, commencing July Is and lasting
four days. This Is a great compliment to
western golfers and is also a boost for the
game out here. fasteners have heretofore
contrived to monopolize completely the
real big things in the game, but the change
has begun. Since the admission OF the
Omaha Country club to the United States
Golf association all members Of it are
eligible to register for entry in this ma
tional championship or any other amateur
event from their own club, and the pros
poets are that the local organization will
be we'll represented. Some OF the Omahani
who have already enthusiastically attacked
the game are J.. B. Rahm, e. R. Lemist, ]
