Mr.. Graham Shoots Bird.

Inc third circumstance had to do with
the killing OF the aIbatross. E. c. Ora
nam shot bird Saturday afternoon while
sailing around Hampton roads It was an
ordinary sea gull. but the pessimists OF
the party termed II an albatross, and
prophesied all the ill-uck OF the Ancient
Mariner who shot the albatross with his
crossbow and had poor luck thereafter
arriving in New York too late TO take
the q O'Clock train to Washington the
party toured part of the city In automo-
biles. and then sat down to dinner at the
Hotel Martinique. Another rubber
neck tour through Chinatown enter
tanned some OF the members, while others
strolled up and down Broadway. BY
o'clock this morning all those who did
not remain in Gotham were hidden be-
hind the curtains of their berths.
George O'Connor and Mat Horn, who
had entertained the crowd for two days
with music. song and story. were given
a surprise aboard the Madison yesterday
Mr.. OConnor was the recipient OF a

CHAMBER Of COMMERCE
PARTY IS HOME AGAIN
Members Come by Train From
New York. After Late Ar
rival at That City.

Nearly all the members OF the Chamber
Of Commerce party, which for two days
has been having a vacation at Old Point
Comfort. on the Atlantic and in New
York city. returned from Gotham on the
midnight train, arriving at Union station
this morning. A few of the members
OF the party stayed in New York on
business.
The party was due in New York yes
terday afternoon at . O'Clock, but COM
oination of circumstances prevented the
Old Dominion steamer Madison from
warping into its dock until after G
O'Clock. Circumstance number one was
that thousands of crates OF straw berries
and thousands of heads OF cabbages in
barrels arrived at the Norfolk dock of
the steamer SO late that the wharf hands
did not get the last crate aboard until
four hours after the scheduled starting
time.
The second circumstance was a fine fog
which settled along the Atlantic coast
yesterday about noon. The Madison ran
at reduced speed for a large part of the
time. Approaching New York harbor, the
FOG was particularly thick. and there was
excitement aboard when the steamer
came within a few yards of hitting
another vessel at anchor The anchored
craft was planting buoys.

at the Long Acre \. \. last night NItchen
never stood a chance. and it was the CON
sensus of opinion that Burke could have
won i'm much shorter time
When the men came To the centre Of tho
ring the contrast was marked Broad Of
shoulder and deep Of chest. the husky
sailor lowered above Mitchen. who ap-
peared like an undeveloped schooboy in
comparison
When the men put up their hands Nit
chen looked and acted scared. Sure Of
his man, Burke sailed right in and landed
his left on the face. From orderly retreat
Mitchens flight became panic He
backed up in a Garner and when Burke
drew his arm up to strike. fell to the floor
without being struck. The crowd howled
