A Random Shot That Hit.
larry Furntss. the Artist, in Strand Mag

It so happened that 1 had to draw
the finish Of the Oxford and Cambridge
boat race. I had a sketch Of the back
ground; as for the rest-well. there
had to be the nan in the boat firing
the gun, and. to balance the design, I
gave him as companions in the BOAT a
gentleman and a lady. Naturally. the
lady was nervous OF the gun being
fired, and of course her companion
supported her round the waist.
The sequel to this was a furious let
ter from a stranger to reprimand me
for my ros im%pertinence in portray
ing him in such d position. I had lit

part had led to-. The writer's wife
knew he had gone to the race. and
knew he was also in the boat with the
nan who invited him, and who had
fired the gun but when the scene APP
peared in print he had to own up that

MEETING OF PRESIDENTS.

Great Showing of Mexican Military
When Taft and Diaz Meet
The Mexican government proposes
making an effective display Of at least
the numerical strength of its army
upon the occasion Of the meeting of
Presidents Taft and Diaz at Ell Paso,
Tex The Mexican war department
announces that the military demon
stration will surpass anything of its
kind in recent years and that between
5000 and 10000 soldiers will escort
General Diaz to the border and remain
there until his return from Ell Paso.
Every branch of the army will be rep
resented.
1t is believed that the government
has taken advantage Of the occasion
to make a military demonstration for
the benefit of the revolutionists who
are referred to as Reyes agitators.
The different detachments Of the army
will give exhibitions and participate
in maneuvers en- route from the CAPT.
tai northward.
Ucucld1 AAcF1uO, luC LuOSt AlSuIy IT,
garded commander Of Mexico, will be
in charge Of the troops. He is making
great preparations to impress the dis
contented natives with the power Of
the service.
1t is announced that the United
States will be represented by about
5000 soldiers, under command of Gen.
eral Meyer Of the department Of Tex
as. Accompanying President Taft's es-
cort will be three military bands, one
Of which will be the mounted band Of
fifty musicians known as the White
Troopers band. Mexico's army will
not furnish any band. but there will
be four other bands with General
Diaz's party on the journey to the Rio
Grande.
According to the program for the
entertainment and reception Of Presi-
dents Taft and Diaz. there will be
three dinners for these distinguished
officials on Oct 10 in Ell Paso, Tex.

MIST BUILD SIDEWALKS.

Valley City, N. D., Oct. l4.-Post-
office inspectors who have been IN
the city looking over conditions
warned Mayor Cowell and Postmas-
ter Pray today that unless more side
walks were built in Valley City, the
free delivery of mail would be sus-
pended. One of the regulations OF
the department is that there shall be
no free delivery except where there
are walks. Many streets in the city,
notably in the northeastern and
northern parts of the city, are with
out connecting walks. This must be
remedied or the delivery will go.
The inspector took the carrier off
Seventh avenue because of lack of
walks and transferred him to Eighth
avenue where there are continuous
walks connecting with the city. In
the future Seventh avenue will be
served with one mail by the rural
carrier.
Any report on conditions has been
suspended, pending action by Mayor
Cowell and the city council.

NORTHCLIFFE'S WARNING.

Believes Germany's Warlike Prepare
tions Do Not Warrant Optimism.
Lord Northcliffe, who passed through
Portland. Ore, recently. on his way to
San Francisco, said In an interview re-
garding the peace Of Europe: ''.:
1--WE have the facts that Germany
has refused to discuss her vast arma.
ments. that the whole of her ship
building yards are engaged in naval
construction, that scores Of her lead
ing writers make no secret of her In
tentions. that she has on previous oc.
casions made unprovoked and sudden
attacks on other nations and that the
vessels she is building are designed for
commerce destroying purposes and for
fighting with an enemy that is near at
hand.
1--WE know also that the kaiser has
said in a public declaration that the
future Of Germany is on the water.
In the face of these significant facts
I fear that any foolish optimism Is
greatly to be deprecated"

TITLE, CHAMPION
WRESTLER
Easily Defeats YusSiff Mahn0uf
by Winning Two Straight
Falls

CHICAGO, April 14-Frank Gotch of
Humboldt, Ia, succeeded in retaining
his title to the worlds championship
tonight by defeating Yussiff Mahmout
of Bulgaria in a fast and furious
wrestling match.
The Bulgarian was as child in the
hands of his opponent. Gotch won both
falls with crotch and half Nelson holds
in and 8 minutes 10 seconds
The champions victory is all the
more notable. as he did not use his
famous toe hold in bringing about the
downfall of the powerful foreigner.
Gotch was able to- secure most any
hold he desired. so limited was the
Bulgarian's knowledge of the game The
match was fast and exciting. 1t was so
short that there was not single idle
moment during the two falls.
Gotch was cheered by 1900 specta-
tors. Ed w. Smith was the referee.
The second preliminary between
Henry Gehring Of Cleveland and
Charles Postl of Buffalo was declared a
draw in order to hurry the program.

The Oakland branch of the Catholic
Schools athletic league set off at a
merry pace yesterday afternoon at
Freeman's park, when the team from
St Josephs institute. West Oakland
hung the Indian sign on the clever
little ball tossers from St Francis de
Sales school.
w Martin of the West Oakland team
proved the hero of the day lie knocked
the ball somewhere every time he came
TO bat. He showed a distinct preference
for the right garden, but manifested a
lordly impartiality in f1ipping grass
ticklers to the infielders indiscrimi-
nately. As luck would have it, the
sacks were rarely empty every time
Martin was up with the result that the
institute piled up the runs in punches.
The Salesians showed well on the
whole. though their outfielders were
slow to get under balls and their infield
work lacked snap and system The
third baseman stuck to his bag rather
too closely, and the boy on second
failed to cover his required territory
Lemping Cain pitched a fair game.
and with more adequate support would
have succeeded in holding down the
West Oaklanders to half dozen tai
lies. The st. Francis de Sales players
got a batting streak in the fourth
and landed heavily for time on Martin
Jr.. but failed to keep up the good
work long enough to do any serious
damage.
With a bit more practice and efficient
coaching the Salesians are sure to
improve and it would occasion no sur
prise to find them among the top notch
ers at the end OF the tournament They
are game losers, and that counts for
something, too
The West Oaklanders give promise
of sweeping everything before them.
though it is yet early in the season to-
indulge in prophecy. Their game with
st. Joseph's school, Berkeley, April 26,
will test their mettle.
Despite the large score and the
goodly sprinkling of errors. the game
the youngsters put up yesterday was
not bad. and it is to be regretted that
more Of the Oakland fans did not turn
out to grace the occasion. SO far as
crowds go the San Francisco branch
beats the Alameda county contingent
all hollow. Those of us who had the
good taste and the good fortune to
be on hand yesterday got the worth of
our dimes. and then some. Score:
