The games between Mills and Hymes and Hodges and Bellingham were splendidly though evenly contested throughout, end both games ended fittingly in honors easy. Delmar’s brilllant play was too good for Blake, who fought stubbornly to avold a catastrophe. However, Delmar was all there, winding up the game by announcing a mate in five moves.

Beyond that you dare not go. “One of the things that I am especially pround of today is that this greatest rep- resentative that our race has yet produced was a pure man of unblemished reputation, a man of sterling integrity of character, whose example we can commend to our children and to the generations that are to come. Let us make much of this, and let the fiat go forth, let it ring out from every pulpit and from every school house, from every hill top and from every valley, that any man who aspires to leadership among us must be pure. In the presence of the splendid record that is before me, with the full knowledge of what this man was, and what his sentiments were, I stand here today and in the name of Fred- erick Douglass say to this black race all over this country, stand up for a pure leadership, honor the man and men only iwhose character you can respect and whose example you can commend to your children.” At the close of Dr. Grimke’s speech the “Battle Hymn of the Republic’ was sung, after which the school was dismissed for the day.

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune's latest special from Jacksonville, Fla., says: Col. Frederico Perez Carbo, late dispatch chief general to Maceo, received a letter from Gen. Lucas Rivera, from the Pinar del Rio section, today. It spoke in the highest terms of his men, their enthusiasm in the cause and dented in the strongest terms that that province was pacified. “The Spanish do not come out of their entrenched camps,” wrote tho general, “‘and wken we want to fight them we have to go down to them. We have full control of all the open country.” His army consists of over 5,000 men, all well armed, and the health of the troops ts generally good. Several important engage- ments have taken place and in every one the Cubans had been victorious. ‘While the men regretted the death of Maceo, yet they were fuil of patriotic fire and the fight was being continued on the plans outlined by that great general. One expedition had landed there not long ago with needed supplies, and the general was in good spirits over the outlook for Cuban independente. Rivera spoke of the gocd accomplished by their dynamite gun, com- manded by young John Lunn of Jackson- ville, and said that he wanted another. In one of the last expeditions an ample supply of ammunition for it had arrived and it was being used very often to the damage of the Spanish. Artemisa has been laid in ruins almost by the gun and other places and camps had felt its power.
