SPECIAL
Oyster Bay. L. l., Aug. 2-President
Roosevelt has beaten the Dutch.
That is to say. he defeated a Boer officer
at target practice this morning, and It Is
said he broke a record.
AT any rate, no such shooting has ever
been done before around Oyster Bay, and
C-ommandant w. D. Snyman, an officer on
General De Vets staff, declares he never
saw such skill in South Africa.
The match was between the President, his
son. Archie, C~ommandant Snyman, Joubert
Reitz, son of former Secretary of State CT
the Orange Free State, and Mr.. Chanler.
Fifty PAGES were measured off, and the
President took the first shot The bullet
struck the bulrs-eye almost exactly in the
cente-.
Bully shot" shouted C-ommandant Sny-
man; but an accident, 1 90 believe" he
added jestingly to the president
Let me see If I can't give you another
dent. raising the pistol.
Crack! 1t went again, and when Command
ant Snyman and the others saw that the

stern. The President smiled.
Bully good gun!' he exclaimed, and took
aim for the third shot. That, too, followed
the other two shots so accurately that only
the one hole yet appeared in the bull's-eye.
President Pleased With His Pistol.
The men standing about him were sur
prised, but the President continued to talk
about what a bully good gun" it was, and
fired twice more All five shots struck SO
nearly in the same hole that it looked as
though but one bullet had penetrated the
bulrs-eye. When the last OF the five shots
had been fired the President handed the
pistol to Commandant Snyman and said:
Nov Snyman, you try it. There's a
good string for you. but a Boer ought to
beat tt"
Hesitatingly the Commandant took the
pistol. and, stretching himself on the grass,
blazed away. He missed the bull's-eye by
about half an inch.
"Tll make it the second time" he said,
and fired again. But again he missed the
bull's-eye.
That's enough" he said, getting up nd
handing the pistol back to the President.
Il can shoot on the veldt. Mr.. President, as
well as any mar in South Africa, but /
don't. believe there's a man in ali Africa
can shoot with you"
ITS a Beers luck, the same old fate of
defeat over again." said Mr.. Reitz. putting
MS hand on Snyman's shoulder. The Pres
ident smiled, and, taking the Commandment
py Inc hand, shook Il heartily and said:
Well, C~ommandant. you've been beaten
by a Dutchman and that isn't so bad"
All laughed at the Presidents ready Joke.

A statue of President Mckinley will be

which forms a background for the architectural features. The
statuary is placed in front and at the base of the main piers at
the sides OF the grand openings. This affords sixteen groups.
which will illustrate transportation in all its phases, as well a S the
progress made by the United States in this science.
There will be four groups of sculptures surrounding the four
pyIons placed at the east and west fronts. but the architect has
subdued the use of sculpture in the treatment OF the building, de-
pending O mass effects and on the grouping OF the masses; or.
rather, he depends o architecture instead of decoration for his
effect.
The entire width of the building Is spanned by five uniform
trusses. Illumination during the day will be introduced through
monitor windows over each span of the five trusses. A gallery 20
feet in width extends across the building at the east end. 1t will
give space for a guardroom and for the office of the department
chief. besides being an excellent place from which to view the
