Edward S. Smith with the Idaho

order that this wonderful enter
tainmeni might be produced.
Mr.. Rainey, who is a million
aire sportsman from Cleveland,
Ohio, undertook his big game
hunt at first merely from the
point of sport. He was the first
African big game hunter to pro-
vide that the wonderful scenes
he saw, and the strange exper-
fences he passed through should
be preserved for the delectation
of the American public, through
the medium of motion pictures,
colored slide and lecturer. Ac-
companying his EXPEDITION was
large corps of expert photograph
ers and motion-picture camera
operators, and whenever there
was a hunt to be undertaken, or
a dangerous trip into the jungles
these intrepid men of the camera
and film were in the forefront.
The Rainey expedition consist
ed of 80 white men, 325 black
men, 1875 camels, 40 horses, 60
dogs, 81 oxen, and $50 sheep on
the hoof. Mr.. Rainey, Prof. Hill
Ter of the Smithsonian Institute,
and others, and their personal
retinues, met Mr.. Allen Black of
Australia, and Mr.. Augustus Out
| ram of The Transvaal, at Port
Said, and while travelling to Nom
bassa, completed their plans. DR.
William Johnston was added as
physician and surgeon, and a
staff of photographers. AT
Mombassa the complete Sofari,
or hunting journey was arranged.
Blick giants of the Wahkambahs,
1.-the and agile Swaheelis thin and
wiry Kavandas and Kharkuas, the
tribesmen noted for their endur-
ance and other worthy qualities,
accompanied the EXPEDITION, some
as employees and carriers and
the remainder for the love of the
sport.
Mr.. Rainey's expedition cost
him over S25O,OOO and the time
consumed was about one year.

HE LOSES HIS HAIR.
*. G. Man Backs the Wrong Side in n
Wrestling Match.

.tOnce over and not too close, was
the warning with which E. A. Sulli-
van, a Kansas City elevator company
representative instructed the barber to
carry out the conditions of the wager
which he lost when Joe Stecker took
away the championship wrestling
honors of the United States from
Charlie Cutler, at Omaha, on Monday
night.
AS result of having misplaced his
confidence in Cutters prowess on the
mat Sullivan is wearing a shaver head.
Today he was the object of general in
terest in the lobby of the National
hotel. The story of that gliStening
dome reached the hotel as soon as he
did last night and this morning it was
the object of many amused glances.
Sullivan is a good loser and, although
he is said to have offered $50 for alb
solution from payment of his wager,
he is now smiling cheerfully under the
raillery of his friends.
Sullivan likes wrestling and he be-
ieved his hero, Charlie Cutler in
vincible until he met the Nebraska
farmer boy on Monday night and went
of that well nourished youngSter.
Being present at the function in which
Cutler was ShOrn of his glories, and
before the shearing took place, Sui
Hvan volunteered to back his own
judgment on his favorite by promis-
ing to surrender to the BARRIERS shears
the wavy auburn locks through which
the sunbeams have been wont to stray
or words to that effect.
