A Novel Race.

A novel race was introduced at a
Madras fair. 1t was a handicap Of all
animals bred in the country, the com.
petitors including buffaloes, elephants,
a goat, ram, emu, elk, besides ponies
and horses. The elephants were placed
as if moving in a marriage procession
and went over the course at a quick
walk. The ram and goat, ridden by
little boys, ran well, and the buffalOes
went at a good gallOp, but the emu
would not stir, neither would the elk,
until the end Of the race, when it took
fright and darted down the course at
great speed. Finally a ram was the
winner, a horse coming in second and
a buffalo third.

On the land track grading is still

of the track. Six camps are now
being maintained, the total force OF
men employed aggregating between
two and three thousand. The ma

There is no sickness whatever
among the white men, the majority
os them having become acC!imated,
ana very little if any trouble among
the negroes who are not SO cOGdi-

Very few mosquitoes, compared TO
what there were last summer, are
found at any of the camps, and these
are only troublesome at night when
the men are fully supplied with nets
and screens to keep them out.
All other conditions are MUCK i'm

MATCH At
SEA GRIT IN
SEPTEMBER
Pencil PuSheTS will Be Given Op.
p0tuniT to To Their Hands
at Rifle Shooting.
Special to The Journal.

Washington. June Sin view. of
the great interest taken by the news
papers of the country in the matter
Of rife shooting ana in the coming
National Match at Sea Girt the CON-
mittee on publicity of the national
board for the promotion of rife Lrac-
tice will this year make a new de-
parture which it is expected will be
highly commended. The national
rife match will be followed by the
annual matches of the National Rifle
Association of America and the COM
mittee on Publicity has arranged
with the NatiOral Rifle Association
to have this year a Press Match"
Every year there are a number of
newspaper men in attendance on the
rifle matches sending special reports
TO the larger newspapers Of the
country. Some teams bring with
them newspaper men who send re
ports Of the shooting done by these
teams to the papers in the state from
which the team comes. IL addition,
number Of newspaper meE are
good shots and members Of the Ia-
ton Guard and frequently a team
viii have a newspaper man on it. In
recognition Of these facts and interest
which has been taken in the subject
by the press in general, thu com
mitt on publicity Of the national
board offered to give a prize for a
Press Match" at Sea Girt next Sep.
TENDER to be shot in connection with
the other matches of the National
Rife Association. The offer was
not only accepted by the National
Association but that organization will
add several prizes on its own &C
count and thus the press match"
will be a very respectable one al
though this will be the first time
match Of this kind has ever been
shot in the United States.
The newspapers Of England take
great interest in the NatiOcsl
Matches which are shot under the
auspices of the English Government
and the National Rifle Association
Of England at the great range at
Bisley each. year Three or four of
the larger London newspaper give
trophies for these matches and regu-
lar teams composed of newspaper
men participate in the events. As
fEr as known Boston is the only city
in this country which now possesses
a rife team composed exclusively of
newspaper men which shoots with
the military rife of the United States
so that no matches have as yet been
arranged between teams composed
of newspaper men and representing
various cities or states. No prizes
have been offered by any Of the
newspapers Of this country nor have
any as yet been asked to give them,
but it is hoped that later some Of the
leading newspapers will offer cups
or trophies to be contested for al
nually.
The prize to be given in the Press
Match" this year will be a handsome
trophy. probably from Tiffany and
Company OF New York, and will be-
come the property Of the winner
The conditions of the match will
provide that any newspaper man
connected with any of the teams
participating in the national matcars
or other matches at Sea Girt or reg
ularly assigned to Sea Girt as a cor
respondent. or coming to Sea Girt Cs-
peciaIly to participate in this match,
shall be eligible to contest in the
Press Match"

1t may be a surprise to many to
learn that a severe cold can be com

time. The first symptoms of a cold
are a dry. loud cough, a profuse
watery discharge from the nose and
a thin, white coating on the tongue.
When Chamberlain's cough remedy Is
taken every hour on the first appear
ance of these symptoms. it counter
acts the effect of the cold and restores
the system to a healthy condition
within a day or two. For sale by all

A Word with a Strange History.

''Treacle," or molasses, is a word
with an interesting history. The earli-
est ''treacle" was an antidote against
the viper's bite and probably was made
Of viper's flesh itself. 1t is a word
with a strange history, descending
from the Greek "ther," a wild beast.
whence came the adjective ''theriakos,"
pertaining to a wild beast, which was
eventually specialized. to mean serv-
ing as az antidote against a wild
beasts bite. In English ''treacle' then
came to mean anything soothing or
comforting. Chaucer- even speaks Of
Christ as ''treacle of all harm" And,
as so many soothing remedies were
sirups. 'treacle' at length meant sim
ply sirups Of various kinds.
