QUAINT OLD STEAMBOAT
TURKISH CAPITAL PLACE OF IA
TEREST TO THE TOURIST
Quarters Allotted to Foreigners Ar.
Pera and GaIata-Three SUNDAYS
Celebrated During Week
Method of Telling Time,

Constantinople, or STEAMBOAT, as tbs
Turk calls his metropolis, is a much
discussed city just now But of its
important foreign quarters, Pera and
oalata, the stay-at-home Briton hear,
little.
Galata is separated from Constant.
nople proper by the Golden Horn. and
lies principally between the two
bridges which span that world-famous
waterway.
Formerly these bridges had can.
ta!ns and crews exactly as II thew
were ships Later they became re.
markable for their shops, beggars
and dogs. Shops. beggars and dogs
have gone, but still the bridges ara
objects of intense interest to the
stranger.
In Galata may be found a sort Of
Petticoat lane in full swing every day
Of the week. But, unlike Sunday mar.
ket in the East end of London, the
avenue is shifted each morning. For
example, the indescribable bargain.
ing and din Is to be found on Thurs.
days at Pershembeh. which means
the Thursday market.
Dealers in secondhand clothing
have a more or less permanent ren.
devious at the Bit bazaar or Louise
market-an appellation more apt than
delicate.
Pera. which is modern Greek for
beyond" stands on the hills behind
Galata, which in a double sense Il
looks down on, considering itself the
superior suburb. Both are despised
by the real Turk, who, if he wishes to
tell you that another Turk has gone
hopelessly to the bad, will say he
has gone to Pera," or, more correctly
ito Bey Olou," for the Turk refuses to
recognize the Christian designation Of
either Constantinople or It's suburbs
A stranger stranded at Pera might
possibly go hungry; but 1t would be
his own fault If he thirsted. Elabor
ate drinking fountains are In nearly
every street.
There is a superabundance of post
ofices-but no postmen! No letters
are delivered. Each European power
has-or habits own post office.
Thus, one calls at the English estab
lishment if expecting letters from
home, at the French if correspondents
is likely to arrive from Paris, and
so on.
Three Sundays a week are observed
in both suburbs-Friday by the Turks,
Saturday by the jews, and Sunday by
the Christians. And three distinct
calendars are used This year the (
Mohammedan is dating his letters
1888, the Jew 5675, and the Christian,
of course, 1915.
But the inconvenience of using three
different calendars is slight compared
with the bewildering method mostly
used in computing the hours of the
day. A watch which kept correct
time on the shores of the Golden
Horn would be, somewhat paradoxical.
ly, rather an cratic timekeeper, &C.
cording to the standard laid down by
Greenwich. For, as twelve o'clock is Z
reckoned always to fall at the exact
moment of sunset, ones watch has to
gain or lose few minutes each day
according to the season of the year

TODAY IN PUGILISTTC ANNALS.

1795-John Jackson defeated Daniel Mendoza in nine rounds ur Horn church, Eng. In this historic contest Mendoza, the Jewish Star of the East" at last met his master, and the first Hebrew champion went down to defeat in battle lasting only ten and a ghalf minutes. Jackson, who was popularly known as "Gentleman," held the championship unchallenged for three years, and then retired in order to devote his entire time to his box ing school. He numbered among his pupils Lord Byron and a host of other English notables, and had a high social position. Jackson never en- tered the ring again after his easy triumph over the famous Jew. The Hebrews of London were almost ruined by this bout, as they had wagered immense sums on Mendoza It was the most scientific battle ever fought up to that time as Jackson was an expert in pugilistic art and Men doza was scarcely less proficient. The mill was staged on the site at Horn scene of an annual wrestling contest.

hARQUARD BACK IN
 FANS GOOD CRACES
Rube Posses First Nc-AIt Came
 Against Neighbor Brooklyn.

New York, April 16.-Long, lean Rube Marquard, a good pitcher to- day and bad one tomorrow, maybe, promulgated a pitching masterpiece against Brooklyn at the Polo Grounds yesterday, which brought back to the eccentric southpaw all the admirers he lost when he nibbled at the Fed eral league bait jumped his con- tract, and vaulted back again. Mar Quard pitched a no-hit game, the Giants shutting the Dodgers out by score of 2 to 0.
 It isn't often that you'll see such an exhibition of the twirling art as Rube showed. He had such marvellous control that he could have spun the ball over if the home plate was as small as a postage stamp. His sinewy left arm circled about his head like a long lash, as he wound up, and shot tantalizing tangents before the eyes of the surprised Brooklyn bats men.
 Only thirty Dodgers faced Rube during the matinee. Only three men got to first base, two of these, Stengel. and zack Wheat, being passed. Cut shaw, in the seventh inning, was safe at first, when Fletcher permitted flirting bounder to jump out of his hands like a grasshopper. Wheat was at first at the time and went down to second, but he was marooned, there. Score:

The Yankees won their first game yester- day for Bill Donovan and the new owners, the score being to 1.
 Ray Fisher, the effective Vermont schoolmaster, had the honor of win nlng the first contest for the new Tanks. Ray was bit shy on his con- trol, and he had Captain Huston spending some mighty uneasy mo- ments in the seventh, when Fisher walked three and uncorked a wild pitch, yet the Griffmen did not score. All told, Fisher walked eight of the Senators, but Washington could do little after getting men on the bases Ten Senators were stranded. Score:
