Anne nele.. at the Block.

Anne B0keSD 2x fhe HAocks 2 Of the execution of Anne Boleyn Martin Hume, the author of 'The Wives of Henry vIII," says:
 Anne herself knelt in a distraught way, as If to pray. but really gazed around her in mute appeal from one pitiless face to another. The heads man, taking compassion upon her. as sured her that he would not strike un- til she gave the signal. "You will have to take this coif off. .a said the poor wo- man, and one of the ladies who at tended her did so and partially bound her eyes with handkerchief, but Anne still imagined that her headdress was in the way and kept her hand upon her hair, straining her eyes and ears to- ward the steps, where from the heads mans words she expected the sword to be handed to him. While she was thus
 meeling erect in suspense the sword which was hidden in the straw behind her was deftly seAed by the French executioner, who, swinging the heavy blade around, in an instant cut through the erect, slender neck, and the head of Anne Roleyn jerked from the shoulders and rolled upon the cloth that covered the platform.

RUNNER KlYIAT WILL
 ENTER YALE

Abel R. Kiviat, who won the one mile handicap race at the field day of the United Irish Societies, at Steeplechase Saturday has announced that he i'm tends to enter Yale after the comple- tioneof his High school course. Kiviat, who is known as the .tschool boy wora- der'', has been running this summer under the colors of the Irish-American A. c. In view of his lack of years, the strength and speed he has shown has been remarkable. Lawson Robert son, trainer of the Irish-American A. C., who acted as starter at the events on Saturday, predicts a great future for the lad He has run the mile pretty consistently under minutes and 30 seconds. His Saturday mark. when, he was scratch man, was minutes 40 seconds, which is good considering the condition of the track, which was very soft, fast time being almost impossi- ble. Many colleges have been after Kivdat, among them Princeton, which has made particular efforts to get him to Tfgertowu. 9

PORTER. SUGGESTS MOVEMENT :
 FOR AN ATHLETIC FIELD

 United Irish Societies for Entertainment Given to
 Distinguished Athletes. x

for sport in these parts. and I hope it will pave the way for great things in the future. Bridgeport ought to have first class athletic field where contests might be held right along in which the young men of this city should take a leading part. To-day will do much to start the ball a-rolling."
 want to second most heartily every thing that Mir. Trube said. I want to see Bridgeport the possess sor before many years of as fine an athletic park as there is in the country and turning out champion athletes in all lines. want to see athletic sport favored and fostered in this city until it takes it's right full place in our interests and af- fairs. And I therefore take occas- ion at this time to suggest that a movement be inaugurated to pro vide Bridgeport with the athletic facilities she so sorely needs and that a representation of the Irish- American Societies meet with oth- CTS who are interested in athletic sport for the purpose of discussing the situation and determining course of action. Personally would be willing to lend all the as- sistance in my power to any such movement.
 Again expressing my thanks and appreciation for last Saturdays re- ception. and especially for the sig nal honor bestowed upon myself, believe me to be Q

RING SIDE GOSSIP

Leach Cross, who fixes teeth during the day time and unfixes them at sion offers, did dire things to a young ster known to boxing enthusiasts as Cy Smith at the Bedford A c. in Brooklyn last night. The bout went end Smith was in pretty bad condi- tion Andt looked as if a. seance in physicians might relieve him a bit
 For eight rounds Smith was some what up in the running. In fact in the early rounds he was aggressive, almost bristiingly so. But Leachie began to Timber up bit in the later stages, and he walloped and smashed meal Only Smiths great gameness kept him on his feet. He weathered the fusillade of punches Leach rained on him well, and, though weak and tot tering, was OF his feet when the bell ended the tenth round
 Jack Denning put a. crimp in the reputation of Jack Curley before a. big crowd of Olympic A. c. members last night. Denning had the better of Cur ley throughout the ten rounds of mill ing. In the third round he put Curley to the floor and had him hanging on at the end of the round. Curley tried hard to land a knockout punch but -Dennfng was too clever for him and Jabbed Curley at will.
 Stanley Ketchel is on his way to New York from California with his manager. Willus Britt, who wired the Fairmont A. c. yesterday that they would arrive here on Thursday or Friday and that Ketchel would inn mediately begin hard training for his ten round bout with Sam Langford on September 10. It is generally believed now that Ketchel will insist upon fighting at catch weights and that he will scale at about ITO pounds when he enters the ring.
 Bill Papke telegraphed the Fairmont A. c. yesterday that he could not meet Willie Lewis before the middle of Octo- Der because of his numerous engage n1ents in the West. As Mike CTwin) Sullivan claims the welterweight championship 1t is possible that Lewis may ask to meet him in a ten round bout in New York at an early date. Lewis Is also anxious to meet Jimmy Gardner at 142 pounds at o'clock. But he wants nothing more to do with Sailor Burke

The Garabaldi.

The Garibaldf are q very ancient Li- gurian family. The first who used the name would seem to have been Gari- bald, duke of Bavaria, A. D. 584. From him descended Grimaldus, king of Lom- bar1y, A. D. 6T3. His son was Carl baldus. Then the hames disappears, but it is early found among the nobies of Genoa, and at the institution of the Liber Aureus, in 1928. it's members are recorded as of the ancient nobility. From 1928 to 1T51 the successive gen erations of the Garibaldi are recorded In the "Libro dOro," and the last name but one there entered Is Joseph Carl baldi, born 1T92, probably an ancestor of the dictator. In 1885 Jeannetia Gar ibaldi was one of the four senators who accompanied the doge of Genoa to Yer sailles after Louis XIV. had nearly de stroyed Genova la Superba by bombs to apologize to the ruthless tyrant- Notes and Queries.

 Dear MT. Murphy
 Permit me to thank you. as the representative of the United Irish American Societies of Bridgeport, in behalf of the visiting athletes and myself. for the splendid recep- ton and entertainment accorded us on the occasion of the Annual Field Day. at SteepihcEase Island. Satur- day, August 21. No aRgregati0n of champion athletes were ever in any place at any time so signal1y hon ored. It was a day and an occas- ion long and fondly to be remem- bered. Once more has Bridgeport shown herself to be the champion hostess of champion, and you, Col. Murphy. and your fellow commit . teemen who 1abored so hard and long for the success of the affair. are deserving of the highest praise. The good done for the future of athletic sport in this city cannot be over estimated. Herbert L. Trube, who acted as assistant clerk of course, in speaking to me after the events of the day were over. said: Tt was the best thing ever done

CONNECTICUT MEN ORGANIZE ROLLER
 POLO LEAGUE

Though roller polo went to the wall in New York State last winter, there are still a. number who think the sport will pay in that State. Yesterday in New Haven there was a meeting of a number of sporting men who are in- terested in the project, and the Empire State Roller Polo League was created. The league, as it was last season, will be restricted to- towns in the central part of New York State, thus forming a. very compact and inexpensive cir cult Flight franchises were granted. five of which go to New Haven men as follows: Mike Doherty, who is now playing second base and managing the Waterbury club in the Connecticut league; Sam Simmons, purveyor of dainties at Savin Rock and manager of the local championship polo team in 1907; Frank Mullin, goal tend on number of. the National league clubs last seasonS Bert Warner, rush on the New Haven club last season; and Wall ter Kelly, all of New Haven; w. T. Hadley Of St. Marys, Ohio; John Alden of Milford; and w. T. Carroll of Schenectady. Officers were elected as follows: President, e. H. Boothby of Albany; secretary, William Maroney cf Amsterdam. The season will open Nov. 8 and will continue for 23 weeks.

Under m.ay>rrax..

Possibly no possession has changed nationality so frequently as the island of Santa Cruz, in the Danish West In- dies. Originally the land belonged to Spain, and it was taken from Spain to be under the joint rule of England and Holland. After awhile the flag of Hol- land was taken down, and the English flag alone fioated, only to give way to Spain again. The Knights of Malta were the next possessors, and from them it passed to company of adven- turers, who lost it to France, which sold to a Danish company, the land finally coming into the possession of the Danish government. England again took possession in 1901, and eight years later it passed to the Danish government again. Eventually 1t will probably be- come a part of the United States, two bargains having been arranged, but never completed

 General Adelbert Ames of Lowell and w. J.

ners they are.
 The Red Sox, next to the Detroits. seem to the other teams the best club in the league. although the wonder full pitching staff of the Athletics makes that club a more formidable one.
 For all around efficiency the Red Sox have it on any club outside of the Tigers. If the Bostonians can. get away from home with only a game or two separating them from first place nearly everyone who has watched their work this season will give this team the. best chance to land the flag.

 Rumors come from far off Oregon. from Fielder Jones, last year manager of the Chicago Americans, that he is dickering for the purchase of the Bos- ton Nationals, and that offers have been made to him to manage either the Washington or St. Louis Amer jeans. There is not any doubt that all three of these clubs will have new managers in 1910.
