CRIES ON A BEAR HUNT.
Indians of the Far North Make Elab. crate Preparations for Cap
 turing Bruin.

The Wood Crees of the far north have "a great respect for their little brother, 2 makwa, the bear, and the braves array 1 themselves for a bear hunt in their finest dress of ceremony. In Silent Places Mir. Stewart Edward White de- iscribes an attack on bear by party of Indians, as witnessed by two woods men
 Dick and Sam perceived a sudden ex- ;cifement in the leading canoes. Hauke- nah stopped, then cautiously backed until we'll behind the screen of the point
 < It's a bear, said Sam, quietly They've gone to get their war-paint on
 In short time the Indian canoes re- appeared. The Indians had intercepted their women, unpacked their baggage and arrayed themselves in buckskin, elaborately embroidered with beads and silks in the flower pattern Ornaments of brass and silver, sacred skins of tha beaver, broad dashes of ocher and ver- million on the naked skin, twisted streamers of colored wool all added to the barbaric gorgeousness
 "Phantom-like, without apparently the slightest directing motion, the bows of the canoes swung like wind-vanes to point toward little heap of drift logs under the shadow of an elder bush. The bear was wallowing in the cool wet sand.
 Now old Haukemah rose to his height in the bow of his canoe, and began to speak rapidly in a low voice in the soft Cree tongue.
 70 makwa, our little brother he said, we come to you not in anger, nor in disrespect. We come to do you a kindness. Here are hunger and cold and enemies. Tn the Afterland is only hap piness. So if we shoot you, o makwa, our little brother. be not angry with us :
 With the shock of dozen little bull lets the bear went down, but was i'm mediately afoot again. He was badly wounded and thoroughly enraged Be- fore the astonished Indians could back water, he had dashed into the shaIlows and planted his paws on the bow of old Haukemah's canoe.
 "Haukemah stood valiantly to the de- fense, but was promptly upset and bounced upon by the enraged animal Dick Heron rose suddenly to his feet and shot. The bear collapsed into the muddied water.
 "Haukemah and his steersman rose dripping. The Indians gathered to ex- anime in respectful admiration Dicks bullet had passed from ear to ear"

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-11-07

g of her defeat Major Delmar is owned was bred, trained and always owned in the Empire state: With all the boasted climatic advantages that have produced former champions, the New York prod- uct now stands out as the greatest trot- ter the world haS ever produced. The fact that the mile trotted by Major Del- mar at Lexington in 2:01A is new worlds record and eclipses the former record, held by Cresceus, by half a sec- ond, is really but a minor fact coasid- ering the horse as new trotting king. It is the wonderful capacity he has shown throughout the season to dupli- cate performances that other champions have never been able to make but once that stamps him as the greatest trotter in turf history. Four times out of seven starts Major Delmar trotted in PEORIA. l Twice his efforts fell short by half a Sc
 ond--at Readville in September, and at Columbus-each mile being trotted in 2:02A. At Providence his mile was 2:03. All these preceded the eighth and successful attempt at Lexington, and seven such performances, or anything approaching them, were never before recorded in turf history. In the threS campaigns when the great Cresceus was at his best he trotted once in 2:O2M, once in 2:02A, once in 2:03N, twice in 2: 04, with the remainder of his miles all in slower time. With these facts to guide in giving Major Delmar the honor he has earned it becomes plain that not only has he trotted the fastest milo ever credited to harness horse under normal conditions, but he has trotted more miles at the extreme limit this season than any former champion.

Unset tied, uncertain and altogether vacillat- ing through depressing early season on the gridiron, the tigers swung to- gether on the plains here in one of the most irresistible rallies ever made by old Nassau, sweeping away the plucky soldiers right and left until the army was battered down to defeat by the score of 12 to 6.

It was retaliation absolute.
