Mrs. Henry b. Harris's revenge. 1t
was Mr.. Whitney, according to her. who
was responsible for breaking up her
roulette parlor and changing it from
a place which bid fair to earn more
money than all the other booths put
together 70 a retreat for elderly ladies
who didn't mind playing for nothing.
When the scouts went to Mrs Harris
she denied them cOldly.
In the continued absence Of the
Whitney family Mrs. Force took the
responsibility upon Nrr own shoulders,
and ordered the tight TO proceed.
She said there was no intention on the
part of either Mr.. or Mrs. Whitney to
give the exhibition a cold shoulder,
and they must have been unavoidably
detained somewhere.

q More Men
Are Discharged
At Plattsburg
Four New York Students
Among Those Released
as Unfit


Plattsburg, June s. -Despitc the
statement by military authorities
that the number Of men TO be re-
leased from tho training camp would
rot come up 10 the original estimate Of
those unfit TO become officers, twenty
three more were discharged to-day.
The New England regiment suffered the
brunt Of this loss. Only four New
Workers were included.
William NJ Brandon, John K. 'keill
and Gilroy Mulqueen were discharged
FOR physical disability. Frank Farrell
was released because OF illness in his
family. In addition to these changes
in the New York personnel Of the camp,
Reserve Captain W. r.. Payson, IN COM
mand of the 18th Company, was trans
ferred 10 the 10th, while Lieutenant
J. II. O'Reilly was transferred to the
nth Company.
Evidence that Plattsburg is not the
only camp to suffer from lack of equip
ment was revealed by the indefinite
postponement Of the departure or the
artillery contingent for Syracuse. Two
companies were TO have left on June 10
The non-arrival of batteries at that

branch Of the service will commence

a negro boxing match was pulled of
late last night in the exclusive restau-
rant run by Mrs. Harry Payne Whit
ney in connection with the Macdougal
Alley FIESTA Late diners were finish
ing their lobster and champagne on the
flower-hung balcony overlooking the
Alley, when two huge negroes, wrapped
In blue eiderdown bathrobes, made
their appearance.
Tables were pushed back. The din
ors formed a compact ring, and the
two negroes, in their white tights,
stood ready for the signal, their black
bodies shining in the rosy light of
japanese lanterns. Richard Fletcher,
editor of the society magazine, "The
Chronicle" acted as referee.
John Lester Johnson, heavyweight
boxer, and William Gibbs, much lighter,
were the performers.
To the sporting experts who crowded
the doorway the contest was disap-
pointingly mild.
90 you think you're Mr. and Mrs.
Vernon Castle >" they cried, and then
johnson would enfold his small part
ner in his arms and appear 20 be about
TO crush his head, until the blonde
woman. who was a self-appointed as
sistant referee, would yell for a
"break."
Chairs Knocked Over
More than once the front row was
knocked over - chairs and all - and
women sought shelter for their chif-
fons and satin slippers behind a pro-
tecting wall Of broad, manly backs.
When Gibbs began 10 bleed profusely
from his upper lip several women hid
their faces. Between rounds the
negroes dropped into the nearest vacant
chairs and were famed with Mrs.
Whitney's table napkins. After II was
all over-fve rounds they were treated
to champagne.
The crowds which passed below in
the Alley were not let in on the boxing
feature Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney were
nowhere 70 be found when il was time
for the performance. The two negroes
were locked in dressing room TO swell
ter for half an hour while a scout
band. headed by Mrs William Force,
secured the Alley for them.
II had been announced early in the
evening to a select few that the boxing
would take place in the courtyard Of
Mrs. Whitney's studio. The walters
who preside over this retreat since il
has been turned into a tea garden for
the benefit of the fiesta were almost
incapacitated for further usefulness
