Mongolia's Favorite Sport.

Perhaps the prohibition of horse
racing would be more deeply re-
sented in Mongolia than in any 9TH
er country of the world. There it
ranks as the favorite pastime of all
classes, including the Buddhist
clergy, who number fully one-third
of the total population. The races
are never under ten miles, and the
Mongolian "derby" is a contest over
thirty,miles of rough steppe. When
c. w. Campbell of the Chinese
consular service travelled through
Mongolia in 1902 he witnessed a
race meeting which was presided
over by the local avatar, most OF
the competing ponies being owned
by lamas. The great races which
take place yearly at Urga are held
under the direct patronage of the
lama pope of Mongolia, who be-
comes the owner of all the win
ners. A horse race with a bishop in
the judges box, a public chiefly
no bookmakers or betting
and nominal prizes is a phenomenon
to be seen in this country.

FROM WAR TO PEACE.
Obsolete British Warship Convert
ed Into Merchantman--Trans-
formation of Charybdis.

Brooklyn Eagle: Converting OBJ
solete men-o'-war into mechant
ships as one way to meet the ton
mage shortage has been begun in
Brooklyn shipyards. The first such
vessel to be transformed is finished
and is running between New York
and Bermuda. 1t was to save the
British colony's agricultural indus
try from absolute disaster that the
ship was made over.
The story of the extremity to
which the island colony was brought
by the war is Just hint at what the
U-boat war is bringing to the little
places" the world over.
The regular liners running to
Bermuda had to be requlsitioned Tor
war purposes nearly year ago, and
since that time the colony has lead
a perilous existence, depending on
slow sailing vessels part of the time
and part of the time having no ships
at all.
Strong protests to the British gov
ernment were made by residents OF
the island, and as a result the sec
ond-cla protected cruiser Charyb-
dis. built in 1898 was turned over
TO the colonists for reconstruction.
The English government also ad-
vanced the money to pay the bill.
The Charybdis was brought to the
Morse Dry Dock and Repair Com
pany during the coolest part OF the
winter. A special Chaybdis com
mission, representing the Bermudian
government, came up with the ship
10 see her through and lived at the
Hotel st. George while the work
was in progress.
They wanted the ship by March |,
and they got her then, although the
bad weather of the winter made the
work difficult. Hatches for the ad
mission Of cargoes had to be cut
through a three-inch nickel steel
protective deck. The twenty-one
guns and three torpedo tubes had F.
already been removed from her be !
fore she came TO Brooklyn. This /
was the easiest part OF the work.
The whole exterior OF the ship |
had to be opened up for cargo, and
in addition passenger quarters had
10 be built in. The work was done in
time, however, and the ship is ex
pected to keep New York well sup
piled with Bermuda onions and po-
tatoes and the island supplied with
money and visitors.
