operations the Coliseum meets. beginning
with the last week in June, have been uni
formly successful The audiences have
grown larger at every meet and the en-
thusiasm of the "rooters'' has been stimu-
lated to a high degree by the hard-fought
contests. Past disappointments and dlssat-

an amusement way going on now in town.
This weeks meet Wednesday night will
bring together three pretty evenly matched
men. Stinson has worked off the "hoodoo"
that hung over him for several years and
he has been racing without interruption
this season. Caldwell is a stranger here,
but the reputation he gained last season
at the New England tracks has preceded
him. Monroe wears the local Coliseums
colors this season, but although entered
at two meets here he has not yet been able
to show his Washington admirers that he
is really worthy to represent the big bowl
in the contest for championship honors this
year. The men will get here tomorrow. and
will go into practice. The public is admit

Of John Donoghue. sculptor of New York

spondency, due to the rejection of his de-
sign for a memorial to the late President
Mckinley. which 1t is proposed to erect IN
Philadelphia.
The design conceived by Donoghue would
have involved an expenditure of 100000.
while the promoters Of the memorial
scheme restricted the amount to $4,000.
Donoghue had executed some notable pieces
Of sculpture that were highly praised both
at home and In Europe. He was of a mod

failed of the recognition that he felt was
due him, and the rejection Of his Mckinley

Warship surgeons worked for hours last
night trying to resuscitate one Jocko,
monkey and mascot Of the monitor Florida.
who for the second time in one week tried
to commit suicide in spectacular fashion.
Jocko is known along the coast from Pen
sacola to Portsmouth. He has q distin-
guished career in the navy and has enter
tanned and been entertained by Admiral
Dewey and Rear Admiral Schley.
Born a Spaniard. hesbecame an American
when- his ship the torpedo boat Isla de
Luzon, was captured during the Spanish
American war On that occasion, officers
state Jocko sat on the port rail- of the cap
tured ship and the flag was hauled down
he climbed the stan and tried to throw
down the American sailors. So well pleased
were the victors with the monkeys pluck
that they took him as q pet to their own
ship.
Recently Jocko has been ailins. Two
Spaniards who are touring the country
visited the navy yard on Wednesday last
Jocko was introduced to them as q matter
of course. The visitors talked in pure Cas-
titan to the mascot, and he seemed to be-
come homesick at the sound of the old ia
nlilfar phrases.
Officers say the monkey went aft after the
visitors had left and actually wept, a most
extraordinary thing for a monkey to do
He was found in the evening lying below a
bunk and Doaning piteously. Investigation
showed that he had drunk potash evidently,
1t is alleged. with suicidal intent.
Surgeons revived the monkey but he
seemed the victim of melancholia Yester-
day the cook of the Florida who under
stands Spanish pretty well, began to sing
Spanish love song, entitled La Senorfta
Bonita" The monkey listened for a while
and then walked aft to the rail. There he
sat for two hours. a far away look I'm his
face and his hands crossed
Unobserved he went below. A pail of I've
was there. The monkey seized the pail,
climbed to the main deck and turning to-
ward the river. waived his hand to the out
going craft and drank the poison. He was
picked up by Landsman Evans unconscious
His condition at late hour was critical.

every time they landed. From the frst
round to the ninth Gardner kept up the
pounding ON Roots stomach. The men
fought very fairly. but the referee had his
hands full separating them in the clinches.
As the twelfth round opened Root reserv-
ed his ebbing strength for an attempt at
Gardeners jaw. Root was almost lifted on
his feet by wicked one In the wind. An
other smash to the stomach made Root
groggy and swings on the jaw sent hin
down. He took the count. got up and was
foored again. He got up and Garnder STEP

and sent his right through Roots weak
