citing and brilliant that has ever taken
place, and says ,..-e-r ~~t--
Foxhall keene's merits as a player are
fully appreciated and only Walter Buck

Larry Waterbury is as fine a back as
was ever seen in this country and tn the
combination of strong. accurate hitting
and play generally, the Americans are
quite first rate. Their ponies are no less
excellent. But in the great contest our
men have the advantage Of an unlimit ed
choice of ponies. more familiarity with the
rule for off-side, and the art of croOking
sticks. We may be certain of a thoroughly
SportSman-like match. and whichever side
of the Atlantic the winners hail from they
will be equally certain of hearty, cordial
applause.

PREFERRED TO RESIGN.
Correspondent Refused to Submit to
Dictation in Private Affairs.

Mr.. John Cailan O'Laughlln, for ten years
past a valued and capable member of the
New York Herald bureau in this city, has
resigned his position. About a week ago
the Car of Russia. through Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador at Washington.
conferred upon Mr.. OLaughlin the Order
of Stanislas manifestation of the czar' s
appreciation of his friendship for Count
CassiHi, and also because of a desire to
show his friendliness toward an American
citizen. The decoration was given to Mr..
OLaughlin in his personal capacity. and
was accepted by him with that express
understanding.
Sunday last Mr.. O'Laughlin received a
cable notification from Mr.. James Gordon
Bennett, proprietor of the Herald, then at
BeauIfeu, France, saying that he. must
either return the decoration or resign his
position on the Herald. Naturally Mr.
O'Eaughlin was gratified with the honor
personally done him by the czar, and, as he
expressed it, the principle of the matter
appealed to him strongly that he deter
mined to resign his position rather than to
commit the discourtesy involved in a return
of the decoration.
Mr.. Bennett" he said today, "has, OF
course, the right to prescribe the conditions
under which a man shall work for him.
Those conditions 1 considered entirely too
discreditable to accept therefore re-
signed" =. .sss'.z-.- e.: s,.,-1sA.-- =
