A Gum rado's Tribute.

Julius J. Jones, the subject
OF this sketca first attracted
my attention while I, with others
uad assem- oled at Columbia In
answer to the call of our country
when the first call was made for Vrl-
unteers in the Spanish war.
There he was; slender STRIPPING,
ready and anxious to fight and die for
. great CAUSE. Daring the eleven
months following, he was always at
his post, ready to do bis duty when
called upon. We all liked Julius. He
vas a happy. go-lucky fellow, a good,
honest, gentlemanly soldier. He re.
ceived bis honorable discharge, with
the +. .st of the regiment when it was
mustered out at Augusta upon the re-
durn from Cuba. Some tima after
ward he again enlisted in the servics;
5his time going to ths PHILIPPINES. He
served three years, receiving an hon
oraole discharge when his enlistment
expired. After couple cf months he
again put on the counJry's uniform
and sailed across the seas to the old
fl .hting grounds In the far.aWay
P PIillipines. Here he died, serving his
country faithfully and patrtoticsllY.
At Manila, on March 10 1905, his
brave life passed away, from an at
tsck of respitory paralysis His body
vas embalmed by the government
and sent to the home Of his childhood
for burial. The body arrived May 9th
two months after death. The SanJee
Rifles acted as escort OF honor to
their old member and comrade, who
had honored the uniform OF his home
Company and Of his government 80
many times. They bore his body to
old Jerusalem Church and there laid
it to rest amid the scenes Of bis caild.

The feature Of Thursdays session
of the reunion CONVEX tion was the WIS.,
it to the reunion tent Of about 500
children from the city schools. AS tine
children passed along the streees In
double file dressed in white and red
tue old vets not attending the conven
tion gathered to see them pass, and
such hurrshing and rabel yelling have
not been heard since the real war
times. The visit of the children filed
up the tent and great crowds stoUd at
the flaps who could not get In. The
singing and recitationing Of the child
rem were we'll done and aroused great
enthusiasm, many Of the old vets 10
Ing overcome with emotion and weep
ing as they heartily cheered. Alma
Dunn.ng beautiful little girl, led
the singing, and did 1t yell. There
were q mum Der of Confederate songs,
including Dixie" and "Swanee Bib
ber."
A resolution was introduced by
Gen. @. I. Walker, and adopted, look
Ing to haVi ! the Confederate rolls
print and put In permanent form In

An earnest plea was made to have
all relics in the possession Of veterans
and others turned over to the keepers
of the relic room at the State house
here in ORDER that they might be bet
ter preserved.
The session closed with the annual
address, which was by Gen. James w.

whose remarks were received with
hearty applause.
Thursday afternoon was the annual

\
and then you get out Of the game all
right, perhaps forever.
Mounted basketball is being taken
up in other cities where there are
armories or riding academies, bue
there are only few daring spirits
anywhere who ere willing to risk their
lives at the sport. Even polo, which is
only mounted hockey, and one OF the
most dangerous sports Of fashion.
seems tame after a game OF basketball
by mounted players.
Though SO dangerous, basketball on
horseback is a fascinating sport to
watch. Even the horses get imbued
with the sport and enter into the ex-
citement Of the game with all the en-
thusIasm OF the players. After a
months play, pony will follow the
ball without a guiding hand. In more
than one recent game the extra horses
on the side lines have been known to
jump within the inclousure Of their
own accord and, though riderless. to
follow the ball about until caught and
led back TO the side lines.
You have to have money to play bas-
ketball on horseback. Horses get tired
during the heat Of the game, Just as
polo ponies tire. and they must be re-
placed by fresh steeds. A string OF
four ponies is none too many for hot
game. The keep of such string is ex-
pensive. with the wages OF groom
extra. Then there are all sorts OF
riding equipments necessary, and the
togs in which to play the game. Any
body who goes into the game seriously
must count on spending at least cou-
pie Of thousand dollars for the fun he
expects to have.

SPORTS AND
ATHLETICS

Basketball on horseback is the latest
and also cne Of the most dangerous
and thrilling sports thus far devised.
The game has found considerable fa-l
yor among New York's rich young
men. for 1t is only the well-to-do who
can AFFORD to play 1t.
Four players make up team. The
play is exactly the same as IN the or
dinary basketball afoot- Scoring is
similar and the object, OF course. is to
throw the ball into your opponents
basket, thereby scoring q. goal.
When the signal is given to begin
play each side. all the players mount
ed. lines up under its own basket.
When the referee tosses the ball into
the center of the playing space one
man from each four dashes out at full
speed toward the rolling ball and dives
from his horse in the effort to be the
first to touch 1t. The player touching
the leathern sphere first is entitled to
its possession.
With the ball on HIS arm he . al
lowed to remount and dash for his OPP
ponent's goal. AS the rules require
that no player hold the ball more than
five seconds. the object Of the play is
for the side that has the ball to ad-
vance toward the opponents goal by
continually passing the ball from one
TO the other, always going forward un-
til. the lucky moment arrived, one or
the players can toss the ball into the
enemy's basket.
Passing is the great feature Of the
game. So expert have the star players
become that they can dash up and
down the court. wheeling and turning
and charging, keeping up all the time
a continuous passing. All the players
catch the ball with one hand and guide
their mounts with the other.
Opposing players. of course. mako
their efforts to get the ball by block
ing the passes. Once the ball falls to
the ground the other side dives for IL.
too. That is their chance to rush II to-
ward the other goal. AS In the case OF
the opening play. the player who
touches the ball first gets It's undisput-
ed possession until he mounts and is
on toward the goal.
All this sounds very easy. but those
who have tried 1t think differently.
Sometimes an exigency OF the play viii
see five or six men diving simultane-
ously from their horses toward the
bouncing ball right under the hoofs OF
the nags. There is pretty good
chance OF being hurt, but SO expert
have the games devotees become that
they can dive under a horse for the
ball and come out unscathed. or
course. there is always a chance OF
catching flying hoof in the forehead.

OCEAN RACERS AS THEY APPEAR
TO-DAY.
In charge to grasp and take advantage
of the crucial positions as they oc-
CURED in her races.
II Capt Barr had sailed the Wat
son Shamrock instead Of being the
skipper Of the defending vessel the
cup would have gone back.
The last Shamrock by Fife was what
the professionals call a "one breeze
boat" In stir breeze to windward
she was match for the Reliance. and
in strong wind, all that the boats
could carry, would have been slightly
better. Down the wind no line could
be drawn on her, as she was not prop
erly sailed. In light breeze to wind
ward and some sea the Reliance showed
her superiority in a pronounced man
ner. ct must not be forgotten that
most of the cup races have been sailed
in moderate wind and some SEAL In
the triangular race 1t was a close
match.
And with the talk OF building a new
challenger comes interest in the man
who has been chosen to design her.
This man Mylne was employed by the
Watson firm for years, and was with
the naval architect who is now dead
when he had the plans Of cup chal-
lenger on hand. Mylne has designed
many small racing boats and some of
them have been marked successes.
Whether any of the genius possessed
by Mr. Watson, as shown in his chal-
longing yacht of three years ago and
in scores Of other racers, has fallen
upon his old employe or whether the
latter has only been awaiting this op-
portunity to show the world that he
has talents equal to either the dead
or living naval architects time and
trial can only prove. AS It stands to-
day In America, there are shakings Of
the head when it is told that COM
parc.ively untried designer OF big
racing craft is to evolve cup chal-
lenger.

AS in the case OF good many other

world in the building of big ordnance.
There is now at Sandy Hook proving
grounds the biggest cannon ever
turned out in the world. Not even the
Krupp gun works Of Germany have

The weapon referred to is 20 yards
long and weighs 13 tons. The projec-

inches in diameter and five feet long
and weighs ton and quarter.
The charge OF smokeIess powder is
of 1000 pounds weight, and when the
projectile leaves the muzzle 1t is tray-

The cost OF each shot fired. at the low

The gun has been discharged eight
times. 1t is calculated that It can be
