Featuring a realistic western rodeo, to be held in connection with an old fashioned American barbecue to be held in Baltimore Monday, Miss Dot Vernon, for many seasons featured with the Barnum & Bailey circus, the Buffalo Bi1l-Pawenee Bill Wild West, and the famous Miller Brothers 1O1 Rnach show, has left for Baltimore with a string of horses, part of the stables in connection with her riding academy in the Stratfield section. Miss Vernon is one of Americas best known horsewomen, and is considered by many the best woman bucking horse rider in the country today.

Kerekjarto halls from Hungary, the land of violinisis.' Born at Ruttka, December 27, 1900, he began his studies on a miniature violin at the tender age of three. So unusual was his talent that he was taken as a mere child to the great Hungarian studied at Budapest for many years. His concert career began when he was only twelve years of age. Since his de but he has appeared in public practically all the European coun- tries except Russia and winning un- in corrupted and consistent success. He will give a concert tomorrow evening at the Park theatre.
 His American debut took place in recital at Carnegie Hall on Nov 2, 1920. The pubic welcomed him with open arms. At the end of his pro- about the platform and refused to leave until he had played seven en- cores. At the second recital, on No vember 20, and the third, December 6 (both at Carnegie HalD, his suc- cess was no less emphatic.

 MT Kerek kjarto's notices are re- marl-able; sober, earnest critics every where write of him in extraordinary terms. For instance, the New Y trk Mail of November 3rd said: 'tNew York does not often throw flowers at the feet of a violinist, and it's concert crowds have rather lost the habit of rushing the stage and shouting for encores till fle lights go out. But at Carnegie Hall last night Duci de Kerekjarto hypnotized a riotous audi ance into something approaching hys- teria, and piled the sensational upon the spectacular in a. fashion rarely equalled on that stage"

 Saying which, MT. Gibney hopped | up into his berth, stretched his huge legs, and fell asleep with his clo>ihes on. Captain Scraggs looked him over

 eye and signing heavily he ysad Pr9se45b1s ,,n fbs companionway, the firsc mate heard him murmur:
 .'Gib's a fine lad. IT be dad burned if he ain't."
 At six o'clock next morning the
 Maggie was rounding Point Loma,
 heading in for San Diego bay, and Captain Scraggs went below and awak ened MT. GIbney. .... whats for breakfast, Scraggsy, old kid % asked MT. Gibney. Fried eggs," said Captain .Scraggs. remembering MT. Gibney's -partiaifty ished days of the green-pea trade.

 An hour later they were tied up under the coal bunkerS, and ad MT. Gibney's suggestion some twenty tons
 of sacked coal were piled on top of the fo'castle head and on the main deck ford, in case of emergency. They lay in the harbor all day unsm about four o'clock, when MT. GSbney, by virtue of his authority as supercargo
 ordered the lines cast off and the Maggie steamed out of the harbor. sou 1h. leaving the Coronado islands
 on the starboard quarter, ten miles to .the west. MT. Gibney was below
 with Captain Scraggs, battling with when the mate stuck his head down the companionway to report a large
 power schooner coming out f-5bm the
 lee of the CoronadoeS and standing the Maggie in an hour or two. Captain Scraggs and MT. Gibney sprang up on the bridge at once, the
 latter with Scraggs' long glass up to
 his eye.
 "She was hove to under the lee of she island, and the minute we came out of the harbor and turned south she come nosin' after us," said the mate.

Gibney's instructions Captain Scraggs held the fuse setter in case it should be necessary to adjust with shra,pnel. MT. Gibney inserted his sights and took a preliminary squint. "A little different from gun-pointin' in the navy, but about the same principle, he declared. In the army believe they call this kind O shootin' direct fire, because you sight direct on the target He scratched his ingenious head and examined the ammunition. Not high explosive shell in the 1ot,'' he nurmured. "IH have to use percussion fire to get the range; then I'll drop back a little an spray her with shrapne1. Seems 6 pity to smash up 8 fine schooner like that one with percussion fire I'd rather tickle 'en up a bit with shrapnel am scare 'em into runnin' away
 He got out the lanyard, slipped a cartridge in the breech, paused and scratched his head again His calm deliberation was driving Scraggs crazy. He reminded MT. Gibney with some asperaty that they were not attending a strawberry festival and for the love of heaven to get busy.

 ''Too late,' said the philosophical Gibney. We're in Mexican waters now, and she can cut us off from the bay. The only- thing we can do is to dark. Tell the engineer to crowd her to 1he limit. There afn't much wind to speak Of, so I guess we can manage 10 hold our own for a while. Never theless, I've got hunch that we'll be overloaded Of course, you ain't got no papers to show, Scraggs and they'll search the cargo, and confis- cate us, and shoot the whole bloomin' crowd of us. I bet a dollar to a doughnut that fellow Lopez sold us out, after the fashion of the country. I can't help thinkin' that that gun to show up.''
 For several minutes MT. Gibney continued to study the gunboat until there could no longer be any doubt that she intended to overhaul them. He made out that she had a long gun ford, with a battery of two one pounders on top of her house end something soonea I,g;o on her port quarter that About twenty men. dressed in whit cloth, could be seen on her decks.

 "Gib. I've got an idee." said Cap tain Scraggs.
 "Out with it, said Mr. Gibney cheerfu1ly.
 There was four little cannon low cred into the hold last thing before we put on the main hatch, and the ammunition to load 'em with is stow ed in the after hold and very easy
 MT. Gibney turned a beaming face and folded Captain Scraegs in an embrace that would have done credit to a grizzly bear. There were genuine tears of admiration in his eyes and his emotions sufficiently to speak.
 'tScraggsy. old tarpot, you've been 2 long time comin' through on the imagination, but you've sure arrived you had about as much nerve as an oyster, but I take it all back. We'll get out them two little jackass guns and fight a naval battle. and if save the Maggie, feed me to the sharks, for won't be worthy of the blood that's in me. Pipe all hands and lift off that main hatch. Reefe a block and tackle throgh that cargo gaff and stand by to heave out the guns"
 But Captain Scraggs had repented of his rash suggestion almost the mo- ment he made 1t. Only the dire nec- essity of desperate measures to save the Maggie had prompted him to put the idea into MT. Gibney's head. and when he saw the avidity with which the latter set to work clearfE for action, his terror knew no bounds.
 "Oh, Gfb," he walled, I'm afraid we better not try to lick that gunboat after all. They might sink us with all hands,

 "I know it, said MT. GTbney calm ly. ''Scraggsy, you're perfectly right. But I'd sooner die fighting than let Ensenada- We're fi1ibusters, Scragg- sy, and we're caught with the goods. I, for one, am goin' down with the steamer Maggie. but I'm goin' down fightin' like a bear.
 "Maybe-maybe we can outrun her, Gib.' half sobbed Captain Scraggs: NO hope" replied MT. Gibney. She's eight miles astern and gaindn' every minute, and when she's within two miles she'll open fire. Of course, we won't be hit unless they've got a Yankee gunner aboard"
 Lets run up the Stars and Stripes and dare 'em to fire on us," said Cap tain Scraggs.
 "No." said MT. aibney firmly. '.ny old man died for the flag an I've sailed under it too long to hide be hind it when Pm in Dutch. We'll fight If you was ever nav1gatin' officer on a Colombian gurboat, Scraggs. you'd realize what 1t means to run from a Mexican

Be that as 1t may, something did swell in his breast when MT. Gtbney spoke of the flag and his scorning to hide behind it, and Scraggs' snaggIe teeth came together with a snap.
 .All night, Glib, my boy" he said solemnly, "I'm with you. MrSA Scraggs has slipped her cable and there ain't nobody to mourn for me. But if we can't fight under the Stars and Stripes by the tail of the Great Sacred Bull,

He appeared on deck which was emblazoued in white letters the single word Maggie. It was his own housef1ag, and with trembling hands he ran it to the fore and cast it's wrinkled folds to the breeze of heaven.
 'Good old dishcloth! shrieked MT. Gtbney. ''She never comes down
 'D-d if she does,'' said Captain Scraggs profanely.
 While all this was going on, a deckhand had received a block and tackle through the end of the cargo gaff and passed 1t to the winch. The two guns came out of the hold In jig time, and while Scraggs and one deekhand opened the after hold and got out ammunition for the guns. MT Gibney, assisted by the other deck hand. proceeded to put one of the enough to realize that he would have to do practically all of the work of serving the gun himself, in view of which condition one gun would have to defend the Maggie He had never seen mountain gun before, but he did not find it difficult to put the simple mechanism together
