Harbin Springs, Cal, June 9.-Cham- pion James J. Jeffries, who is training here for his battle with Bob Fitzsim- mons, in San Francisco, on July 9, has settled right down to hard work and the good results of his training are already evident. The champion is de lighted with the country life which his training here affords him. and he is making every effort to put himself in the best of condition. Whenever Jeffries goes through the woods he car- ries his gun, and woe to the game that the big boilermaker discovers He is a fine shot and has held the record for game ever since his party arrived here. Manager Billy Delaney and Kid Egan are looking after the training camp. while Jeffries's brother Jack acts IS sparring partner and throws the medi- cine ball every day.

PRESIDENT HAD HARD LUCK ON
HUNT,
BREAKING up OF The CAMP
Finished Outing by UnintentionaI Ex-
hbition of ROUGH
Riding.

Smedes Miss, Nov 19.-President
Roosevelt's bear hunt in Mississippi
is ended and he has not even had a
shot at BEAR The last day of the
chase was simply a repetition of
three preceding days, so far as his
luck was concerned. Try as the hunt
ers would, they could not get bear
within range of the presidents rifle
Followed Trail.
The dogs caught fresh trail this
morning and the president followed
it half dozen miles to the Big Sun
flower river. The bear crossed a
mile below the ford they went to and
believing it was making for the cane
brake on the other side they tried to
head it off. When they got into the
brake, however, they were disguised
to find that the bear had doubled on
his track and crossed the river still
further down. 1t was then o'clock
and as arrangements had been made
to break camp at 2:30 the president
was reluctantly compelled to abandon
further pursuit Of the elusive quarry.
While the president was out after
bear Major Helm, DR.. Lung and Sec
retary CortelyCu had more success
ill deer drive on this side of the
Great Sunfower river. They jumped
up g buck and dee. Major Helm kill
ed the latter from his horse at about
40 yards.
Enjoyed His Outing.
Although the president has failed to
kill bear on the expedition he has
enjoyed his outing and speaksxin high
praise of the hospitality that has been
accorded him. He attributes his ill
fortune to the traditional hunters
luck and says the next time he goes
after bear he will arrange to stay
long enough for the luck to change.
The breaking up of camp today was
an interesting proceeding. The camp
outfit was loaded into six milk wagons,
the beds and sides of which were
made of the timber used for the tent
and table floors.
Old Remus, the greatest dog in the
pack, whose last hunt was ahead of
the president of the United States,
was badly used up and with several
Of the wounded dogs was put in one

horses and rode into Smedes, leaving
the wagons to follow The president
is hard rider and the pace was
rapid in spite of the bad trails The
distance, which is fully IL miles, was
covered in less than an hour.
Waited for Speech.
| At the station the negroes from the
surrounding plantations assembled to
greet the president. He thanked
them but made no speech. They
waited around his car on the siding
until dark hoping he would make
a speech.
Mr.. Fish tonight gave a dinner in
| his private car to the president and
members of his party. At $3.50 the
special train started for Memphis.
