ANOTHER WHITE HOPE DE-
FEATED.

Taft, Cal, October 2s.-While Sam
LangfOrd, Of Boston, the veteran heavy
weight fighter, is waiting for q miracle
to happen so that he can meet Jack
johnson he improves his time by knock
ing out a white hope" or two. Mon
day he demonstrated to Jack Lester
of Gle Elum, Wash, that he had no
right to enlist in that army.
The two men met in a boxing bout
scheduled for twenty rounds, and Les
ter was knocked down for the count Of
seven in the second round.
In the third he landed his only blow
of the whole fight, a glaneing swing to
the mouth, that drew blood, but did
not harm. In the fourth he was
knocked down three times, and was
saved from being knocked out by the
bell.
When the gong rang for the fifth he
was still so grogy that he could or
would not arise from his chair, and the
referee gave the fight to Langford, and
another "white hope" had vanished.

THE FOURTH ANNUAL ESSAY
CONTEST.

The Fourth Annual Essay Contest
will be held at Quinn Chapel, A. NJ. L.
Church, 24th and Wabash ave-, Sunday
afternoon, December l4th, at 5 o'eloeK,
under the auspices of the Negro Fellow
snip League. We are able to hold this
contest through the generosity Of Mr..
Louis Usselamn, the popular jeWeler at
$3.50 State St., who donates the prizes
yearly.
For the past three years these con-
tests have been held under the auspices
of the Bethel Literary Club, but owing
to the fact that numerous clubs take
part, as well as representatives of vari-
Gus churches, it was thought best to
hold future contests under the auspices
of a different club each year and at
different church.
The subject to be written on is as
follows: ''What has the Negro eontri-
buted to the world for the advancement
of civilization"
Rules.
/. The essays are not to contain over
$500 words and must be delivered in
fifteen minutes.
2. Persons who have won prizes in
former contests will not be eligible.
3. All essays must be composed and
written by the persons representing
said clubs, and if found to be otherwise,
said persons will be barred from the
contest.
4. All essays must be in the hands
of the managers of the contest one week
prior to December l4th, who will turn
them over to the judges. These essays
are to be sent in without names, thus
insuring that they viii be judged abb
solutely on their merits.
5. There will be five judges consist
ing of two ladies and three gentlemen.
6. The contestants must be at the
church not later than 500 O'Clock on
the day of the contest, as the program
will begin promptly at that hour. These
rules will be strictly enforced.
You will doubtless recall the great
interest manifested in previous contests
and the historical facts produced, which
we're of great value to the Chicago pub
lie. 1t is the aim of the management
to make this contest greater than any
previous one.
Each club is asked to appoint two
a lady and a gentle
man. They must be active members Of
the club they reresent.
The prizes are: A solid gold laval
iere, diamond setting, to the ladyj and
a solid gold scarf pin, diamond setting,
to the gentleman, who writes the best
essay on the subject named.
The following clubs are to be repre-
sented: Bethel Literary, of Bethel A.
N. E. Church; Standard Literary, of
Ebenezer Church; Star Literary, of
olivet Church; University Society, Chi
terion, Tuskegee, Negro Fellowship
League and the Lo-Gos Literary.
