Mr.. Rea's election occurred a fe,

where he received the books of tn
office, after same were duly audited
This election not only carries homo.

Mr.. Rea on the Supreme Executiv
Committee, which is an honor of n

five members on this all-importan
committee, and he being the only
member from the South. The othe
four live respectively in New Yorl

San Francisco, California Imagine
Bay st. Louis connected and asso-
ciated with these big cities of the
country!
The Kappa Sigma fraternity is the
largest national fraternity in the Unit
ed States, having IS chapters in many
of the largest universities in nearly
every State in the Union.
The election of Mr.. Rea certainl.
places Bay st. Louis on the mar
with the fraternity, for his connection
with the fraternity and it's chapters
is wide and his correspondence i
such that extra stenographic assist
ance becomes necessary.
To be chosen one from over 90
600 men to SO responsible and exalt
ed position is an honor to be envied
although not begrudgad from one
upon whose shoulders this honor has
so worthily been bestowed.
George r. Rea is native of Wes-
son, Miss, but a resident of Bay st
Louis and cashier of the Merchants
Bank of this city for over fifteen
years. His ability is marked and re-
cognized, and he is deserving of the
tribute of trust and position of honor
which came to him unsolicited.

THE PRIDE OF HOM|E[:
AND FRIENDS AWAY.
His Formal Entry Into the Profe.-

Marked BY Fine Showing.
DID NOT GET THE DECISION
BUT WON THE PLAUDITS
CT Friend and Foe-His Opponent
Had Advantage of Longer Train
ing and Association With
Professional Athletes.

Bay ST. Louis and vicinity was well
represented in New Orleans Monday
night at the Burke Manieri boxing
contest. Fully 200 from Bay St
Louis alone attended.
It was a representative crowd.
This compliment was tribute worthy
Of the popularity and esteem in which
our young townsman, Russell Manlerl,
is held; and worthy of the splendid
fight put up by this athlete. While
he did not get the decision on techni-
cal grounds by which the referee
made Burke the winner, he won more
than that He won the admiration
and applause of all lovers of clean
sport, for he put up splendid fight
and demonstrated the mettle of which
/ he is made.
Sporting writer's, the fellows who
pour out the daily dope for the sport
| ing page of metropolitan newspapers,
and who analyze the game from eve
ry angle, give Manieri generous
praise. They wonder at his grit in
making his professional debut with
one older and more experienced They
say he should have boxed with one
of lesser ability and experience than
Burke, seasoned from longer. and
more famiharization with the game
For" said one, Burke has gone the
rounds with Dempsey; he has ha"
vast experience with professionals,
an advantage o. superior value over
Manieri." But Maniefi has not lost
by any means they say in unanmity.
On th contrary, the manager of tho
Tulane Athletic Club, the scene OF
Monday nights fight, is willing for
him to come back, and says he will
prove a good drawing card.
Bay st. Louis as well las the
towns along the Gulf Coast, are justly
proud Of Russell Manieri; and he has
not only W = the praises and admira-
ton O. hom and friends, b t others
living away are in accord wi the ac-

letter from a hw Orleanian who

and who writes in fulsome praise of
Manieri. Such expression coming from
an outside source must and does car
