It is. brilliant scene under that
flaming June sun, rank after rank
moving up those rough slopes.
When will Pigot's men get warn
ing from the farmers in the redoubt
that this is an invasion Of American
soi1?
The assaulting column is within
twelve rods of the redoubt, but the
fowling pieces are silent. Ten rods
are reached, nine, eight, when sudden
ly there is a death-flash all along the
line of the redoubt, and the assailants
waver, reel, halt, turn and there is a
rush down the HILL
Gen. Howe advances with his troops
toward the grass-stuffed rails, where
the Americans, under Stark and
Knowlton, are waiting for him. An
other death-hash along the American
line and the British wither before it
like the grass in the hot summer sun.
A, second time the British are form
ing and coming up the hill. They near
eight rods-six, when that volcano in
the redoubt pours out it's stream of
death. Again, the British retreat to
the foot Of the hill.
On the left of the Americans, Howe
again leads his men, and again those
j>roud, scarlet lines are hopelessly
broken as they near the waiting force,
crouching in silence. 1t is only bar
ricade of grass, but it is like adamant.
Indeed, how could we penetrate
it," some of the surviving British in
fantry will say. Most of our grenad-
iers and light infantry, the moment of
presenting themselves lost three
fourths. and many nine-tenths of their
men. Some had only eight or nine
men in a company left, some only
three, four fve-''

that have now been witnessed in that
American tragedy by the spectators
on the adjacent highlands, and every
available elevated point. They are
watching every detail as the curtain
of smoke from the battlefield and
from the burning houses and from the
consuming ships in their yards. shall
lift their folds and roll up against the
summer sky.
Gen. Burgoyne has said: "The
whole was a complication of horror
and importance beyond anything that
ever came to my lot to be witness to.
1t was sight for young soldier that
the longest service may not furnish
again."
Will the tragedy have its third
scene, the battle it's third attack?
IF we drive them back once more, "
Prescott declares, they cannot rally
again."
His men cry: I'VE are ready for the
redcoats again."
They are hot, they are hungry, they
are thirsty, they are weary, but their
huzzas enthusiastically ring along the
earthworks, as they applaud their
commander.
There is enc appalling deficiency,
more serious than the want Of water
or rations, and that is the lack of am
munltion. None has been received,
and the British are coming again.
Yes, there they are! Watch them
going up!
Gen. Howe wears white silk stock
ings this day of attack, but there is
no silk in his spirit. He and his men
press higher, higher, and the redoubt
is theirs.
There go the Americans, their am
munition exhausted. They have lost
one hill; they have gained name for
daring that decides a long struggle
Just ahead.

There was more of sense in the fools

With his cap and bells, and in motley

Grinned the fool at the kings right

And he drained his Rowland sat cheek

With the fairest in all the land.
And his quips and pranks brought him
coin and thanks
From the monarch and lords Of state;
For worthy man is the fool who can

And III work my hoax and I'll crack my

score Of 9 to D. The Giants must lose ten out OF
thirteen games while the Pirates are winning

New-York. This is so improbable that 1t Is hardly
worth considering, and the New-York team can
be hailed the champions.

which was marked by heavy hitting on both sides
and brilliant fielding. Two fast double plays in

for the opposing teams. Both were unsteady and
hit hard and were retired in the seventh inning

WORK ON THE GRIDlRON.
LINEUP FOR COLUMBIA.
varsity Scores against Light Scrub
Union Game Saturday.

The varsity and second elevens of Columbia
lined up for the first regular scrimmage OF the
season at American League Park yesterday
morning in anticipation of the first game OF the
season with Union College. Thirty minutes OF
stiff work demonstrated the fact that unless
many more candidates appear there VIII be
dearth of substitutes who have either the weight
or the ability to play in the big games Inc
coaches succeeded in placing one fairly heaVy
line the field, nut that which opposed 1t was
so light that the varsity backs went through
1t almost al will.
Ross the 230-pound guard and Captain Thorpe
were not in the lineup, but outside of these
practically all the heavy men who are out took
part In the practice What the second eleven
lacked in weight the varsity line lacked in ex-
perlence and speed. Aigeltinger. who is a new
man at centre showed a constant tendency to
offside play, and although he passed the ball
well and held his man he had to be cautioned by
the coaches several times. Won Salza, at right
tackle, is physically fit, but has never played
varsity football before, his only experience be-
ing on the freshmen eleven. Naething, at left
tackle, is another big man who showed the lack
of experience.
Echeverria, who played left guard and was
guard on the varsity last year, heavy. but
was altogether too slow in getting into the
game.
The ball was given to the varsity in the
centre of the field and they quickly rushed IL
across for touchdown using Fisher. Carter
and Heinrich through tackle and centre. When
the ball was given to the scrub they worked 1t
to the 'varsitys five yard line, where they were
held for downs. The varsity again rushed the
ball down the field for a touchdown.
There were one or two redeeming features on
both sides On the scrub, Mckee and Arm
strong at right and left half, played strong
game. They went through the varsity line for
good gains and showed vigor and dash which
were absent in the others. When the way in
which Armstrong smashed into the interference
and nailed his man observed it looked as
though he would be one of the strongest candi-
dates for one of the back field positions Fisher,
who played right half on the varsity, was an
other man who proved a sure ground gamer
The game on Saturday with Union Will be
played a 1 o'clock at American League Park.
Some difficulty experienced because there
was conflict in dates between Columbia and
the New York American League baseball team.
After a conference yesterday between T. Lud-
low Chrystie, treasurer Of the Columbia Football
: Association and Frank Farrell, president OF
the New-York Americans it was decided that
the Columbia Union game would be played as
scheduled.

for and obtained from the National Association Of
Automobile Manufacturers a sanction for its sixth
annual exhibition, which this year will be held in

sanction did not interfere in any manner with the
