CATTLE DRIVING III AFRICA.
Experiences of a Drover on a Thou.
saud-Mile Trek.

From the Rhod.sla Herald
J. ]. Reynard. who has just completed
the long trek frcm the north. in CONVEX
sa:icn " it'll a representative CT the Herald
gave few Of the experiences OF the road.
He started from the neishbcrhood OF
Fyfe. close to the German East African
border. in tte April of last year and
reached Lomasundi, over a thousand
miles distant, at the beginning of last
February.
The journey could be done quicker but
haste often means less IN stock. and in
cut-of-theway places of the globe time
counts for naught The first portion of
the journey was uneventful. In the sec
end stage OF the trip. between Mpika and
Serenje, known to eatt.enen as the star
vaticn area travelling was slow. food was
scarce and the cattle could only proceed
by short stages, Fly was bad in places
but this insect only infeats short strips
Of country, and by passing through By
night loss was aver ed.
Lions were also persistent and followed
the cattle down almost to the Zambesi.
but strange to say did not make their
presence heard. ner were any seen south
of the river. While making one Of the
nocturnal trips across the. ny bet Mr..
Reynard had rather an exciting exrcri-
ence with lions. The cattle had been
resting throughout the day and at sunset
the order to march was given. The herd
was split up into four lots. each in charge
Of reliable native.
All went we'll until about 10 o'clock. and
good progress was being made The night
was excessively dark. and suddenly vibrat.
ing through the darkness came the roar OF
lions. The marauders were attacking the
last mob Of cattle. The herd boys fed in
all directions and the cattle stampeded
1t was too black to see the attack ne
force, but the frightened below of the
cattle and now and then a cry which
plainly ted a beast had received its
deatholow was evident that the lions were
at work
When day broke one Of the divisions of
cattle was scattered, and it was not until
evening that they were all collected
Three cows and calves were found killed
and partly devoured. Two other cows
were badly mauled. During the trek
down the herd was attacked Ave times
by lions. and on one occa sion a bullock
was carried of right under the eyes of
the frightened natives.
Another cause OF loss was the numerous
game pits made by the natives. These
are dug in close proximity to the cattle
track. and several beasts fell into these
pits. hidden by the long grass. and were
impaled on the sharp stakes.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. October 6.-Har-
ward varsity came out of the Maine game
without injury. and with the exception of
Crowley who was given a rest. all of the
first string players went into the scrim-
mage yesterday. The Crimson line was
greatly strengthened yesterday afternoon
by the addition of Fish. the old Andover
end. He played at left end and showed
up well. The varsity scored touch
down on the second team after five
minutes of play, and the remainder of
practice was in defensive work for the
varsity.
The subs with Minot at full plugged
the varsity line repeatedly. but could not
gain consistently and were forced to
punt. For more defensive play the sec
onds were given the ball and told to
keep it when held for downs. Coach
Haughton changed his line. putting a
number Of the big Hnesmen in place Of
Burr Hoar and Mckay. The scrimmage
durisg the first five minutes was featured
by the end running of Csrbett. right
halfback. Smith plugged the line hard
but kennard was not effective The
backs gave good interference. and Smith
went over for Il touchdown. Capt. Burr
kicked goal. Cutler tried side kick and
forward pass often. but lost the ball to
the seconds on every attempt
Kermit Roosevelt was the first choice
at tackle in the first scrfmDage of Har-
Yard freshmen. The freshmen seconds
tried to gain through young Roosevelt. but
he spoiled each play.

Washingtons shut out the Athletics. 3 to D.
There wasn't anything that looked like

Seybold slammed a speedy one to left
that was too fast for Unglaub- In the
eighth SeybOld again hit a hot one at
Smith, which was partially blocked, and
the batter beat the throw to first. In the
ninth Davis singled to right. and these
were the only bingles registered off the

In the seventh Pickering worked a base

Then came the fun in the eighth inning.
