Tombstone Team
 Meets Defeat

The Tombstone hose team returned last evening from Douglas defeated- but while they suffered defeat they did not return crest fallen, as it is of rec-- ord that they made the best running time of any of the contestants, but when it came to breaking the coup ling-well it just wouldn't break, and there you are. Not only did it refuse to break for our men, but the judges with their combined strength could not break it. Now 1t seems that fate entered into the matter and dealt our boys a body blow, which put them down and out" In the crowd it was frequently said by the spectators, "tet the Tombstone boys were jobbed." 1" But the boys are uot putting up that talk and take their defeat as true sportsmen take defeat, and the most they are saying is, "well old fellow, I'll tell you how it was, we failed to make it and that's all there ia to it |" Otherwise the boys report having had ge lorious time, and next year they will be right in line for the "Kreuder Cup" wherever the race is held.

Sheath Gown Reaches
 The Old Pueblo

The Citizen says that Tucson got a glimpse of the sheath gown, or direc. toire, and took it languidly. The fair one who wore the first of its kind in the old Pueblo had Americsnized the French creation sufficiently to make
 t minus some thrills end plus some frills. That is to gay, the slit of the skirt, which in Paris reveals bit or more of ankle, was entirely missing, and the sheathiness of the dress was somewhat broken by some flounces. However, the men liked the costume. ss it's p etty wearer switched it down the street and the women observed it. which means, of course, that sheath gowns will be frequent in Tucson this summer.
