ART IN PORTRAITURE.
Exact Likeness of Prominent Topeka
People on Display.

One would have to travel a long
ways to see any thing in the line of
portraits that can come up to Moore
& Snyder's display in Waggoner's
Drug Store window of prominent To-
peka people. You may have a por-
trait painted by a Sargent or some
other famous artist, but the person
don't live who can hold a more per-
feet likeness than these are. And
about the finish and style, nothing
could be said for they are perfectly
exquisite in their execution. 1t is GER
tainly a great treat to know that there
are artists right here in Topeka who
can make portraits of this character.
There are SO many of these cheap en-
largements dignified by the word por-
trait, forced on the public these DAYS.
that 1t behooves one to give credit to
the man that knows how to paint and
hold likeness. Look at the por-
traits of c. w. Snyder, president To-
peka State bank; J. R. Burrow, pres
ident Central National bank; ]. E.
Hurley of the Santa Fe; A Fassler
and DR.. McClintock's daughter. You
know them all. and see if what they
claim is not true. Success to the new
artists.

New York, July 22.-Sam Langford
the clever and hard-hitting Boston
middleWeight, knocked out John Willie
the Chicago heavyweight, in the sec
ond round of their fight at the Navarro
A. c. Tuesday night Langford tioored
his opponent with a hard right hook tC
the jaw, and the big Westerner was
out for fully half minute.
So sudden was the knockout that few
of the spectators realized the bout was
at an end. Only the fans sitting close
to the ringside We're aware of the full
force behind the blow which put an end
to the hopes of Willie. Just before the
knockout blow was delivered Langford
managed to get over left nook The
blow was vicious one and shook the
Chicagoan. He was plainly groggy, and
the Boston fighter, seeing his predica-
ment, shut over the right.
Langford had all the best of the &c
from the first gong. He outfought his
sturdy opponent and had him practi-
caily at his mercy. Willie landed only
two blows during the, fight. Both were
hard swings and shook up Langford
considerably. One was a right to the
ear and the other a left to the stom-
ach. Both landed in the opening round.

Kaiser Lacks
Good Designer

That rumor that the Emperor of Ger
| many is likely to challenge for the
Americas cup makes good warm
| weather reading, but by the time snow
flies, and a challenge is due. if one is
coming at all, yachtsmen will probably
file the story away with other tales OF
midsummer madness
There are several good reasons why
the German Emperor granted that ne
has had such an idea in his head, will
decide that it is not expedient to chal-
lenge for the blue ribbon of the seas
In the first place Germany has no
yacht designer who could possibly hope
to defeat Herreshoff even with a boat
built under the restrictions of either
the universal or international rating
rule.
And when it comes to building an
ont and out racing machine, the only
type of yacht that the New York Y.
c. will consent to have race for the
trophy, no German designer could
beat the British naval architects. who
have all frankly given up the Ameri-
cas- cup as a bad job
The Germans are young nation in
the sport of yacht racing. Their ex-
perlence covers not more than 10 years.
and most of that has been with small
boats, like those of the sonderklasse.
