from the British guardship i'm the Bos-

through the streets Of the capital to the
British Embassy. with the result that the
rising. which Sultan Abdul Hamid had
taken no pains TO suppress, collapsed as
suddenly as il had begun This bold and
successful coup on the part Of Herbert
won for him the marked approval OF his

promotion that landed him few years

OLYMPIA SEES
HONORS THIS YEAR

The Olympia A. c., one of the fastest
independent teams of this city, has
begun to prepare its schedule TOT
the coming season, and from present
indications will probably have one OF
the hardest seasons since the clubs
organization. The manager has been
very successful in securing the SER
vices of Bill" Loughery, a veteran
backstop, to coach the team, and with
his assistance the team will be some
what improved.
Last year Olympia defeated the
Browntown team, champions Of the
City League. and were entitled to the
championship of this city, but owing
to some of the players going with the
Wilmington League the team was
compelled to disband This year all
of the players have agreed to remain
with the team, and a successful sea-
son is assured. Any team desiring
a game will be gladly accommodated
by communicating with the manager.
