is the history of c. c. Glover's place, West

eral similar retreats owned by wealthy
Washingtonians around the outskirts of the
city.
Ask the average Washington man where
Westover is and he will not know. Ask
him for Mr.. Glover's country place. and
probably he will be able to tell you vaguely
that it is somewhere out northwest of the
city," AS matter of fact 1t is within 800
yards of the as yet uncompleted Methodist
University. above Georgetown. A line
drawn due north from the hagpole at the
Soldiers Home would meet in the middle

grounds are just far enough off the Ten
nallytown line to be comfortably re-
mote from intruders. 1t is about a mile
walk from the cars to Westover. To the
north of the place ground has been con-
demned for the extension of MaSsa chusetts
avenue. while Wisconsin avenue passes
just to the south. There is a mere fifty
acres IN what might be called the home
ranch, but the Glover holdings all over
that section bring the total up to nearly $50
acres.

FIGHTING "JAPONIANs."

In that interesting book, Purchase
His Pilgrimes," is recorded the adven-
ture which befell John Davis and Sir
Edward Michelbourne, who little bet
ter than pirates themselves, met in 1905
with a Chinese junk full of piraticaI
"Japonians," whose own vessel had
been cast away on Borneo. There were
ninety men aboard this junk, most of
them in too gallant a habit for Saylers,
and such an equalitie of behaviour
among them that they seemed all fell
loves; yet among them there was one
that they called Capitaine, but gave
him little respect" A number of them
having been transferred to the ship
while the junk's cargo was being
searched, they suddenly sailed out of
the cabin at a given signal, and while
I those in the junk killed or drove over
board the Englishmen in charge those
, on the ship tried to take possession of
it. At the first outset they killed Cap
tain Davis.
They pressed so fiercely to come to
us as, we receiving them on our Pixies
they would gather in our Pixies with
their hands to reach us with Their
swords. 1t was neere half an hour be-
fore we could stone them back into the
Cabin; in which time we had killed
three or four of their Leaders. After
they We're in the Cabin they fought
with us at the least foure houres before
we could suppresse them, often fryinl

NEW ZEALAND BEAT ENGLAND.
LONDON, October Rugby football
players in England are astonished at
the remarkable series of victories by a
visiting team of New Zealand players

Today they defeated the Durham team,
the champion county team of England

combined scores of the English teams
in the seven games has been only
points, one goal from the field and one
try. The total score of the Colonial
players is 247.
Durham received a try today, and
this was the first time an Englishmar

HOW NELSON
BEAT BRITT
THE MOVING PICTURES OF THE
GREAT FIGHT INTERESTED A
BIG CROWD AT THE ORPHEUM.

The moving pictures of the Britt
Nelson fight at the Orpheum last night
proved a distinct success so far as the
enjoyment of the crowd was concerned
The house was well filled and save for
minor defects in the apparatus, which
will probably be rectifed, the show
ran along smoothly. Honolulu had a
chance of seeing a remarkable repro
duction of one of the greatest fstic
battles of modern time.
Apart altogether from the fight pic
lures, the show has an impresario with
pink hair who is magnificent
Watch the muscles of his develop
ments' said he of the sorrel thatch as
Battling Nelson pranced round the ring
and of course the crowd watched and
the crowd got the full worth of it's
money in joshing the announcer
The pictures proved just what had
been claimed of the fight. 1t was a
fight all the way through and the
beauty of it was that the two fighters
played the game without the slightest
trace of unfairness. They broke clean
and not once did referee Eddie Graney
have to use anything more than tap
on the shoulder to either of them in
order to make them break.
For the first twelve rounds of the
fight Nelson is shown to be doing all
Of the forcing Britt breaking ground
continually, but Britt does by far the
most of the leading. The ninth round
by the way, is about as hot piece of
fighting as anyone would wish to see.
The fifteenth and sixteenth rounds
seem to be altogether Britts for he
walloped his husky antagonist about
the head and neck repeatedly the Dane
seeming to content himself with cover
ing up.
Both men were going strong all the
time and so far as the pictures show
the fight was anybody's even in the
seventeenth round. Somehow or other
though Britt's blows did not seem to
land as heavily as did Nelson's This
would seem to be borne out by the
stories of those who saw the fight.
Britt's foot work was plainly of the
Ao
ness which he showed in duclzing some
of Nelson's swings is one of the fea-
lures which the pictures show. Mel
son has a nasty uppercut which he
seemed to use effectively many times
Perhaps it may be best summed up by
saying that Britt, according to the
pictures, was the better sparrer but
Nelson was the better fighter. Nelson
certainly looks stronger all the way
through
The knockout comes in the eighteenth
but unfortunately the actual blow which
ended Britt was struck over in Britt's
own corner just out of the range of the
camera. The lad is seen to fall out to-
wards the middle of the ring and is
counted out by Graney.
The pictures are decidedly good and
no person who has any sort of sneak
ing regard for the game should miss
seeing them. The fight will be re-
peated again tonight and tomorrow
night.
There was a decided sprinkling of
ladies in the audience, and there was
absolutely nothing in the show or in
the demeanor of the crowded house
that could make them regret being
present.
