TROOPS REPULSE
ANOTHER ATTACK

Another fierce attack was repulsed
just before midnight last night in the
mimic warfare being waged by the
state national guard from the Nara
gansett bay forts.
Shielded by thick fog, which pre-
cluded all possibility of observation
until they had arrived within a short
distance of the fortress, the hostile
fleet made a stiff attack upon Fort
Greble. the Dutch Island guardian of
the states great waterway, and there
resulted n cannonade which also set
the windows in Newport houses five
miles away rattling.
The four ships used by the enemy
came upon the Dutch Island fortress
from two directions, two from toward
the mouth OF Narragansett bay and the
others from the northward. When dis
covered from the fort the craft were
within n comparatively short distance.
The main attack was on the power
tack, the complete movable armament
of the post was placed in such a man
ner as to command the neighboring &
shores.
The small boats coming toward the
shore were discovered some time be-
fore they landed, and they were sub
jected to n heavy firing by the six
for their reception. and from the arms
OF the infantry supports. Theoretically
they were blown to pieces before they
made land. owing TO the watchfulness
and the alertness OF the sentinels of
the First Infantry regiment the land
ing attack was a complete failure.
While IL is understood that the
enemy from Fort Adams will claim a
victory, so far as the duel between
the guns of the fort and the INITIATIVE
guns on the craft are concerned. at
Fort Greble IL is claimed that the hos
tile fleet was simply overwhelmed by
the rounds upon rounds OF blank cart
ridges fired upon IT,
The boats engaged were the mine
planting steamers Armstead and Knox
and the quartermaster depar taeS tts
steamers Swartwout and Rowell
Today and tomorrow the forces at
Fort Greble will assume the offensive
and carefully planned attacks upon
Fort Adams will be begun. The First
regiment men believe that they can
profit by what errors their militia

mitted thus far I'm the war game, as
well as by plans In which the Fort

BOXING ON
TONIGHT

Tommy Quill, great favorite in this
section, is in fine fettle for tonight's show
at Lymansville. Quill has won popular
ity by the rattling slam-bang way he goes
into his rival and he says that he will
keep up his good work tonight Quill,
whose home is I'm Brockton, has been
training for the bout, the first for which
he has ever endeavored to get into con-
dition. Quill, who is OF good habits, al
ways keeps himself in a state OF semi-con-
dition, but owing TO the fact that the
bout tonight will be at 135, he has been
forced to take off a few pounds. Harry
Lenny is said to be in d)od shape for the
battle and although he is not known here
Johnny Mack promises that he will give
Quill a pretty warm time.
In the semi-hnal Young Joe Grim Is TO

quite clever, but may spring a few sur

Bar Harbor, Me-, July lin many re-

Yacht club along the New England coast.
which terminated here yesterday, was one
of the most satisfactory that the club has
held for many years. There were some
disagreeable intervals of fog and calm
since leaving Marblehead seven days ago.
but these were more than compensated
by many hours of pleasant sailing and
lively racing along one OF the most pic
turesque coasts In the country.

RACES
POSTPONED BY RAIN

The storm which broke from the dark
clouds during the first heat OF the third
race a: Woonsocket yesterday caused the
postponement of the card till Saturday af-
ternoon. When the bell sounded for the
first heat OF the 2:27 trot there was about
800 people at the park and these were
treated TO three pretty heats. when the
rain fell necesstating the postponement.
In the first heat of the 2:27 trot Dream
void Prattler was the favorite. but on the
first turn he went in the air and from
then on he did not have a show for a
place. Mary NJ, a black mare, with
Crowley up. broke away from the field
on the start and from then on held the
pace, finishing an easy winner in 2:2sia.
with Boxer second and Look Wilks third.
The rest of the field finished in the fol-
lowing order: Mollie Wilkes, ]. l.. e.,
Kruger and Dreamwold Prattler.
The 2:20 pace was an exciting race be-
tween the three first horses. with G. H.
B. and Copeland Girl taking the lead
from Thestrup after he had held the lead
into the stretch. Thestrup acted badly at
the start, rearing and prancing making
IL necessary for one of the stable hands
to seize his head on two different occa-
sions to quiet him. At the start he push
ed his head to the front with a burst of
speed, closely pressed by Copeland Girl,
while the rest OF the field was strung out
