MACKEY To MEET
TURNER TONIGHT
IN MILITIA GYM
War of Words to Wind
Up in Benefit WreSt-
ling Match.

That willy wrestler. Rob Roy Mackey.
was around this morning trying 10
get bet down on himself TO win
two falls from Joe Turner in an hour
at the National Guard gymnasium
tonight for the benefit of the National
Guard Athletic Association. To win,
Mackey must turn this trick. although
he viii weigh only 100 pounds, While
Turner viii weigh 14S.
Before Turner became a welterweight
the VOluble Mackey had no rivals on
his own poundage in the District. His
principal amusement was hurting Chal-
Ienges at Joe Grant, who was l55-
pound man, and taking on middle and
heavyweights who might happen in this
direction. Most of those taken on were
taken in. for. despite his hoe air, Mac
key is really a clever gTappler. but he
did not have a general reputation out
side OF Baltimore and Washington ana
was considered by the peripatetic mat
men who spend their lives looking for
easy money merely a local phenom. who
could be swallowed on the run, as II
were.
Forced Mackey Into Match.
Turner was almost as much alone
among the weltcrs, but in the last year
he has grown so rapidly that now he
cannot get matches with the little fell
lows He announced his entrance into
the WelteT class by twisting the arms
and legs of two of Mackey's special pro
tcges. who were heavier than himself,
and then he challenged tie boss, who. by
the way. had taught him the business.
Mackey tried 10 bury Turner under a
flood of words, but Joe kept bobbing up.
and tonights match is the result.

ambition 10 shine in a star bout, viii go

there, but his capital and favorite home was about 450 miles farther up the Nile valley. at the very spot where l now am. It was known as Thebes and 1t was one of the greatest cities of antiquity. It covered almost as much ground as Paris. and 1t Is said to have had more than 1.000.- that ehariots drawn by a half dozen horses abreast could easily pass as they galioped along them. It had 100 gates and it's temples and private houses were the wonder of the world. Some of the residences were five stories high, the sky scrapers of those days. Thebes was noted for it's wealth. and its riches were added to by the successful wars which the kings waged with other nations. The nonarehs Of that day had mighty armies Of both infantry and cavalry. Some of the kings had many ass20000 war char iots, and ancient writers say that there were scattered along the Nile from here to Memphis 100 stone stables, each large enough to accommodate 200 war horses.
 How Pharaoh Looked.
 It brings one close to the days of the Scriptures when one can put his hands on the very same things that were touched by old Pharaoh; when one can visit the temples in which he wor- shiped; can sit on the statues erected in his honor, and can look at the tomb in which his royal bones were laid away One feels closer still when he can look at the mummy itself and tually see the hard-he earted old heathen almost as he was when alive
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-10-13

each 10 feet in length, so that one would fill the box of a farm wagon from end to end, and so wide that it could hardly be fitted within it. The arms, from finger tips to elbow each measure 15 feet, and the middle finger of each hand is a yard and a half long.
 As I stood beside the pedestal, with my feet on Gingerbread saddle, l could not reach to the top. and l find it difficult to give any comparative idea of the enormous weight of the structures.
 These two mighty figures sit side by side on the edge of the Nile valley. They were erected in honor of an Egyptian king who lived thirtyfve hundred odd years ago; and the temple, which he constructed behind them, has now entirely disappeared. They are right on the edge of the valley, with the desert mountains in the rear. My way was through green fields, and as l looked at them I thought of how they had watched the people sowing and reaping for more than thirty Ave hundred years.
 Not far from these monuments are are ruins of the Temple of Rameses IT, the Pharaoh who oppressed the Egyp- tians and would not let them go. Among lueHl l SuW tHe ietidiiiS ol IL statue of that old king, which show that they belong to structure at least SO feet high. There Is no granite near CT here than in the quarries of Assouan. and this mighty statue must have been cut out there and brought down the Nile to Thebes, a distance of 135 miles.
 Toting the obellsks.
 Consider the obelisks which the Egyp- tians made at those quarries and carried down the Nile to Thebes and also to Cairo and Alexandria. There are, two obelisks still at this place. You may see them in the great Temple at Karnak which is not more than a twenty minute walk from Luxor. They weigh some thing like 400 tons each, and it would sake 1900 horses to haul them if they were broken up and loaded upon wagons Each is one solid block of granite and each

was carried in that shape to this place. There are inscriptions on the Der al Ba- hari temple which show that these two ohelsks were dug out of the quarries, covered with hieroglyphic carvings, brought here and put up all in the space of seven months. l doubt whether our engineers could do the job as quick as well
 We thought it a wonderful work to bring the Alexandria obelisl1 from Egypt to New York. 1t was carried there in the hold of a steamer. and to load it the bow of the vessel had to be cut and the obelisk dragged in. The obelisk at Paris was carried across the Mediterranean on a barge, and that which now stands in London was brought there in an iron water tight cylinder. which was carried to Alexandria in pieces and built around the obelisk as it lay upon the shore. When the great stone was thoroughly encased the whole was rolled into the sea and thus lowed to London. After land ing the modern engineers had great trou- ble to get the obelsks where they want ed them. That of New York was rolled along upon iron balls which ran in iron groves, laid down for that purpose. and that of London was slid over greased ways to the place where It now stands on the banks of the Thames.
 UnearthIne the oldsct of Temples.
 The oldest temple of Egypt by 1000 years is now being unearthed here by the agents of the Egyptian exploration fund. This lies near the famous temple of Dor al Bahari and in branch valley from where the tomb of the kings are. When I visited it the excavators were at work, and the men in charge told me they had great hopes of making valuable discov- cries. It was with James TeaclSle Den his. the American representative of the excavation fund. that I went over the temple. I met him at the little one story house which forms the laboratory and home of the foreign explorers. and had chat with the other members as to the progress of the work. The fund IS now supporting here a number of specialists from Canada, England and the
