GOLF IN sPHINx's SHADOW
Clubs in the Land Of the Pharaohs

traveller. ut is so afloat and ashore. In
Egypt the English visitors get up polo
matches, tennis, croquet, golf and bridge
tournaments, fancy dress balls, smok-

and desert country, where tho
only permanent residents are Arabs
and donkeys and where the golf play
ers come only three months in year.
Yet there are not a few golf clubs In the
land of the Pharaohs.
There are many humorous things
connected with golf in Egypt. There
are what might be called extra hazard

in Upper Egypt, the golf course wound

made by the Arabs: Nobody in boots or
shoes could enter the oasis limits to

The Third and Last Days Racing OF
the ottumwa District Fair Was
Held Yesterday-Track Was Heavy,

In the 2:15 trot, P. e. o. won the third
heat and race in the fast time of
2:18h.
The track was in a heavy condition
from the rain of the previous day, and
the best work of the several entries
could not be determined. P. e. O.'s
mile, however, was fast and 1t was
thoroughly enjoyed by the attendance.
Governor Gear, l.. A. Meeker's clever
little animal, opposed P. E. o. In the
2:15 trot. the three heats of which was
won by the Woods horse. The second
race of the program was the free for

four heats and the race in this event
l.. A. Meeker, driving Alleris won the
first heat from the Indiana horse, but
In the three succeeding heats, the local

the fair this year.

coached by Jos. Dams Nick Carter,
made an exhibition mile in 2:24A, and
later unpaced, stepped the mile in
2:3OA. The running race was won by

galloper, which showed such good
speed the day before, would doubtless
have given the Gibson horse good
race, had she got better start. Tom

BEAR LIVES IN HERMIT HUT
Administrator Unaware of Grizzly's
Presence Until Knocked Through
the Entrance.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Near the old San
Gabriel mission, within nine miles OF
this city OF zoo, 900 souls, hermit has
lived for many years i'll little adobe
hut. He died and was buried Not hav-
ing any known relatives, Deputy Admin
istrator Petermlchel went out to the
shack TO take charge Of the old man s
effects.
In the 40 years that Senior Don occu-
pied the adobe, no living soul, save him
self, had crossed its threshold. AS the
hermit died suddenly away from the
shack the deputy was the first one TO
break the solitude of the dwelling. When
he pushed open the door it was so dark
inside that objects were not distinguish
able, SO he stepped inside. Then he was
confronted by a grizzly bear which rose
to his hind feet and with a blow of his
paw sent the deputy flying through the
door. The deputy did not stop to in
ventory the property, but took to his
heels. The bear followed him out of the
shack and then struck out in the direc-
ton of the mountains. 1t is thought
that bruin found the door of the shack
open and entered, and that the door
then got pushed shut by the bear, max
ing him prisoner.
