supported the conspirators they would have succeeded in blowing up the ves- sel, but no one stirred a hand, and the wretched men were shot before the eyes of their comrades
 Rojestyensky attributes the defeat to the bad state of the vessels. above all those of Admiral Nebogatoff, which had a very mediocre speed, further re- duced by the layers of shells and weeds covering their hulls and by the state of the boilers; to the poor shoot ing of the crews, and to the fact that the Russians were shooting with the sun in their faces. which further af- fected the accuracy of their fire. The admiral adds that when the Russians were in the middle of Tsu Shima strait they were struck by heavy storm, which prevented accurate fire and exposed the unprotected parts of the vessels 10 the Japanese. The white painted portions of the Russian vessels offered an excellent target to the Japanese gunners. while the Japa- nese vessels. painted a Teenish gray. were almost invisible against the back ground of sea and cloud.

 ct After Drive h1 Travers.
 It was when Walter J. Travis and Jerome D. Travers, the two golf cracks of the metropolitan district, played from the last tee in the final the other afternoon of the invitation tournament of the Shinnecock Hills club. on Long Island, that the most sensational incident of a sensational match occurred. says special dis patch from Southampton, \. T., to the New York Herald.
 The pair were all even. and victory or defeat hung in the balance of the most delicate scales. The slightest hesitancy, the turn of the wrist shade one way or the other, meant the des- tiny of the cup.
 A big crowd had gathered when the news had spread that young Travers of Nassau was making the veteran Travis play the game of his life and was apparently urging him to a ten sion beyond his capabilities. In all cNtHlc du "dtIucu 1td'ciS uIINc. anu as his ball sped through the air toward the hill where lay the green all heard a dull thwack as an Indian from the reservation turned suddenly and ran like scared rabbit. It was so sudden that none was positive, but all were intuitively sure the ball had struck the fleeing scared figure.
 Search was made for the ball. and, although all joined in the hunt. the white sphere was nowhere to be found Under the rules lost ball means the loss of the hole, and this means the loss of the match. Time flew. yet the ball was not in sight.
 In the meantime the Indian had re- appeared and when asked declared the ball had not touched him. John M. Ward, however. turned suddenly on the Indian and. feeling his waist and hips. said. as be extracted ball from the mans hip pocket. ''Is that your ballY
 T don't know" said the scion of the Shinnecock tribe. On examination the ball had Mir. Travers' private mark and was his beyond dispute The sphere had hit the Indian and instead of rebounding 10 the turf had fallen into his hip pocket.
