At Buffalo.

BUFFALO, March l6.-The Washing
ton bowlers are leaving for home to-
day, but they will not take any of the
prize money with them. They finished
out their strings last night, and while
Brown and Allison did some classy
bowling in the doubles. vet they failed
to get in the select class, because Of
the failure of their respective partners
to support them.
About all the expert bowlers in the

the tourney.

Army men interested.

One of the Fort Myer officers was
telling ME last night that there never
before was such lively interest in
horscmanship at the post than just at
present.
This enthusiasm is not limited to the
officers, but extends to the enlisted men
and each individual trooper is taking
especial pride in his own riding and in
his mount.
The fame of the Fort Myer riders has
spread until there is no end to the in
Vitations for exhibitions. The latest
to be received is from Philadelphia, the
Road Drivers of that city being anxious
TO have the soldiers from the fort over
in Virginia to ride at the annual carni-
val in the Quaker City Speedway next
month.

face closely with the idea of accustom-

his sensitive nostrils which gave him

He was within 20 feet OF the level
of the ice before his little mirror of
concave silver caught the CLEAN OF
red that he was looking for.
He threw his head back sharply and
gazed at it. He could not see the fire
itself-that must be hidden behind the
great rock which almost blocked the
entrance to what must be the cave.
