A H0NGK0NG TYPH00N.' ~ =
Doors and Windows Smashed In by
the Fury of the Gale.

the Fury of the Gale.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The signal
had changed to the ominous red
green-red, and the three dynamite
bombs were the warning that the
typhOOn was upon us. No need to
hurry the servants now = every one
was only too anxious to assist. The
wind was tearing round the house,
seemingly in all directions, but strong
est from the north, and the noise Of it
was louder than thunder. One out
side room, more exposed than the rest
seemed to be its especial butt. We
stayed there for moment to listen to
the a2ing of the storm, but even the
etoutest heart ccu,d not sleep in that
panGa!nonium of sound. 1t was we'll
shattered and barred. but 1t was in
crcdi:!> that it .tocd in that tornado
OF wind. The doors creaked and
groarCd with the strain. and the win
dows clattered with a shriller note,
while outside it seemed as though all
the winds Of all the ages were let
loose for destruction. In the center
of the house, though the noise was
less, one could feel the building rock
ing on it's foundations and hardly
dared speculate how much the late
heavy rains had weakened them. Ev-
cry moment we expected the roof
would go.
Crash. The upper part Of an inner
glass door had blown In. There was
a stampede for that part of the house,
for the wind must be kept out at all
costs. Sofa cushions, sheets, blankets
from the beds, all were requisitioned
to stuff the broken panes. We had
hardly finished before there was ter
rife noise in the basement and such
a shouting in Chinese that one could
hear the boys above the din Of the
storm. 1t was the door of the cooks
room which had burst its hinges and
bolts, and once the wind had found an
entry 1t made the most Of its oppor-
tunity. Twenty-seven panes Of glass
clattered to the ground in the base
ment before they could get the door
wedged back into place with great
difficulty. But there was little time
to think of the servants, for we had
our own troubles upstairs.
The wind suddenly veered round un-
til the full force seemed to be coming
from the southwest, and the front Of
the house began to feel it. The hall
door was straining on its hinges, and
we had to improvise struts and pile
heavy furniture behind 1t to help it's
resistance to the wind. Then a rush
upstairs, for a bathroom window had
crushed in and the door was straining.
Every moment the wind was increas-
ing in fury, but the roof held. Be
tween and the typhoon was at
its height. and it is impossible to de-
scribe the sense Of helplessness one
feels In such a wild raging Of the ele-
ments. Sleep was out Of the question
until the wind abated toward morning,
and we rested a little, tired, sorry
looking household, encamped In the
safest part of the house.-Nan Peacock
In Leslie's Weekly.

ST. VINCENT LOSES
ATHLETIC LEADERS
Father Martin and Coach Moores Soon
viii Leave for East, Severinq
Connection with
School

Students of ST. Vincent's college yes
terday afternoon received a shock when
the announcement was made that
Father Martin, chairman of the ath
Ietic committee and member of the
registration committee of the A. A. u,
would take charge of athletics at St.
Vincent de Paul in Chicago, where at
the present time is located Frank
Haggerty, formerly athletic coach at
st. Vincent college and who put out
a champion baseball team for two
consecutive seasons, and who is at
present coach at the Chicago institu-
ton.
The many friends and students of
Father Martin are loath to part with
their friend and instructor.
on top of this announcement comes
the surprising news that Athletic
Coach C. X. Moores would depart for
his home in Virginia and will sever
his connection with the Catholic in
stitution. Moores has been one of the
most energetic coaches the Saints have
had in several years and is well adj
vanced in baseball swimming and
handball athletics. Moores is the
youngest coach that they have had
since the days of Haggerty and his
departure will cast a cloud over the
campus, as he was well liked by all
the athletes of the Grand avenue
school.

WINS HANDICAP
HILDRETH'S GREAT SPLINTER
WINS METROPOLITAN
FAMOUS CLASSIC FEATURES SEA-
SONS OPENING
Blue Ribbon Event Is Easy for Great
Four-year-old-Ora Betting
Without Appearance of
Cash Permitted

NEW YORK. May 13.-The long de-
ferred and anxiously awaited opening
of the metropolitan racing season,
which was coupled this year with the
running of the classic Metropolitan
handicap, passed into history today
with the winning at Belmont park of
the blue ribbon event of the occasion
by S. c. Hildreth's fleet 4-year-old,
King James, from a field of eleven
starters.
Fayette, the Madden entry. finished
six lengths behind, with Juggler, g.
year-old gelding, entered by C. c.
Smithson, close third.
The attendance was considerably
simmer than on previous Metropolitan
handicap days. The entire number ag-
gregated less than 10000, but in view of
the ban placed on race track betting
last year by the Hart-Agnew law, the
falling off was not such as to cause
surprise.
The net results of the day were not
materially altered, as betting of a sort
is tolerated. The new form, however,
is a travesty on the practice that flour
ished during the days of the Percy
Gray law.
Betting ION the Nod
Under cover of decision of the ap-
pellate division of the supreme court,
which permits of oral betting, the lay
ers of odds took up their stations on
the concourse in front of the stand, and
in whispers and by mods accepted wa
gers and gave odds. The method was
yelled in mystery accompanied by
searching glances and stealthy looks.
If the would-be bettor was known to
the bookmaker his bet was accepted
with a muttered You're on" No mon
ey was passed; the bookmaker trusted
the bettor to search him out after the
race and pay him the amount of his
wager if he lost, and the hettor on his
part trusted the bookmaker to look MIN
up in the same fashion and give him
his winnings if he won.
Some of the layers of odds settled
outside the grounds after the last race,
and others on the trains coming back,
but most of them put off settlement
until tomorrow morning at appointed
headquarters in town.
The race of the day, the Metropolitan
handicap, was won in handy fashion
by King James, who led the field home
by six lengths.
Favorites Jared badly during the day,
only two, King James and Newmarket,
winning. The other winners, however.
were we'll played. Agent, an added
starter in the steeplechase and backed
from hves to tours, defeated the to 3
favorite Sir Wooster, in a mild drive.

will around the diamond at various
positions Miss Mary Brown acted as
pitcher for the winners, while MISS

made by the Poly members that it was
impossible to keep tab on them. MISS
