They | assembled almost en masse on the grounds of | the Bemis Park Gun club at the east end of | the big bridge, and indulged in a friendly | team shoot for the price of the birds, the Bluffs opposed to the boys on this side of the Big Muddy. The day was an ideal one for | the sport, the genial sunshine bathing the earth 4n a flood of golden glory, and not the | suspicion of a breeze being astir, Of course, these charming conditions drew out a large crowd, and it was then, something like 1,000 people or more, the largest crowd that ever congregated in this section of the country to | witness a trial at the trap. The conditions of the match were a team of elght on a side, fifteen live birds, twenty- cight yards raise, fifty yards boundary, for | the price of the birds and a large lump of glory. D. T. Stubbs, an old-timer, and callel “Delirium Tremens" Stubbs by his brethren of the trap, was sclected as referee and scorer, and a good official he made. The Omaha team was captained by Mr. F. S Parmelee, and the Bluffs team by Mr. C. B H.”Campbell, and all through the close and exciting race nothing but the most friendly fecling prevailed. The boys from over the river, after a stubborn and persistent struggla, pulle] out winners by the slender margin of three birds, the final score standing Council Bluffs 100 and Omaha 97.

BOSTON, Feb, 22—The Suffolk Athletic club, at a meeting tonight, presented a six- round bout between Peter Maher, “cham- plon” of Ireland, and Jim Hall of Aus- .l‘rulln‘ as the chlef feature. The referee, . A. Kelliher, called it a draw at the finish, and the 2,000 spectitors hissed the decision. The battle was very tame, Maher forcing the fighting in all but the fourth round, and doing the most effect- ive work. Through the contest Hall was on the defensive, and the end of the sixth, and what “was eéxpected to be the dedisive round, when both men smilingly walked to their corners, called forth hisses from the spectators. Maher was in perfect fighting form at 171 pounds. Hall was trim at 167%. Maher forced Hall to the four corners of the ring and made his object the heart of the Australian. At no time during the cor- test was there any indication of a fin'sh contest. but Maher showed his superiority in’ leading and countering, = Frank Keefs of South’ Boston and Jake Donovan of East Boston opened the entertainment with @ _six-rou.d contest. Donovan knocked Keefe out in one minute and thirty seconds. Johnny McCann and Mike Doherty of Hoston essayed an eight-round 80, but the referee declared it off in the third round. Jake Smith and Tom Do- herty, both of ‘Boston, fought five rounds, Doherty winning by a knockout in the fifth round. " The bout ~ which called forth the most applause was a six-round go between Joe Lynch and Jim Gallagher of Boston, in which” Gallagher stood aguinst great odds until the close.

VANCEBURG, W. Va,, Feb. 22.—The much advertised fight between Charles Plummer and two big wild cats recently captured took place in a 12x12 foot cage on the stage of the Rugles opera house last night, a good-sized crowd witnessing the novel af- fair. Plummer appeared with a base ball mask over his face and carried a_small rid- ing whip as his only means of defense. The ontest was a disappointment, the crowd expecting to see the cats pounce upon Plum- mer and make him fight for his_life, but they did nothing of the kind. Both' cats sprang on Plummer two or three times, but took fright and tried to get out of the cage after seeing their antagonist was not afraid of them, and a few sharp cuts with the whip mad> them crouch in the corners of the cage and take the punishment of the cutting lashes given them with the whip without attempting to defend themselves. The af- fair was managed by Captain Jack Schu- mate, the noted circus man. Tosnlts at New Orlean: NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 22.—Tr: ck heavy.

Actors the world | over havesplayed the “‘mad prince of Den mark” in #)1 lapguages. Rossi attempted it in Italian, Mounet Sully was a splendid real- fzation of "the "French Hamlet, Sonnenthall made much of the character in Germany, while our owm country has given to the world a_number of brilifant Hamlets, Last night Walker Whiteside gave a studious interpreta- tion of Shakespeare's masterful creation at ! Boyd's theater, emphasizing, if anything, the impression created When first seen in Omaha last season, Hamlet fascinates by his personality, and 19 man can succeed in presenting him who doos not passess in himself that peculiar | quality of fascination. It is something that cannot be drawn from the library, or poured from the cup, or bought in the shops. It must be intuitive, and Walker Whiteside comes noarer having this element of fascina- tion than any other actor sinca Booth. White- side’'s Hamlet is poetie, following closely the traditions of the great tragedians of the world, English as well as German. The person whom be represented last night was not an ancient Dane, fair, blue-eyed, yellow- haired, stout and lymphatic, but was the dark, sad, dreamy, mysterious hero of an immortal poem. Mr. Whiteside is almost ideal in this character, although there are noticeable certain mannerisms in his imper- sonation which were not noticeable when first seen In this character in Omaha. He I3 learning the art of husbanding his strength for great climaxes, and sometimes so runs his words together that drink in the fnarticulate sounds and attempt their separation Into rounded sentences. This fault, however, is the fault of youthful en- thusiasm, and ‘with the approach of age will give way to a fuller art. In all representa- tions of “Hamlet” the main thing is and should be Hamlet himself. The accessories are subordinated in the plece and should be kept subordinate fn the presentment. — This seems especially forcible to Mr. Whitesids, who, while mounting the play with consider- able care, particularly the exterfor of the castle and the battlements at Elsinore, does nothing that would tend to detract from the central picture, In all essentials, therefore, Mr. Whiteside must be taken with serlous consideration, for he presented last night a_most studious, a most thoughtful prince of Denmark. The support in great part is not up to the requirements of the play, the Laertes of Mr. C. D. Herman, however, being a most satis- factory interpretation, as was the Horatlo of Herbert Pattee, Miss Fannie Mathais was fairly eatisfactery as Gertrude and Miss Tielia Wolstan as Ophelia was intelligent, but gave a colorless: performance. The ghost of Mr. Vrcom was as mild a mannered shade as ever trod the green. Herrmann, the great prince of the mys- terious, assisted _hy Mme. Herrmann, comes to Boy day and Saturday matinee.

Three hundred men, prising half the force of the expedition, are said to have been killed, while the remainder was and com- | have been driven from the line of march and their retreat has been cut off. The minister of colonies has received an urgent appeal from the commander of the expedition for reinforce- ments, \ Commandant Monteil's expedition was in- | tended to join the contingent of Captain Docaze, which was guarding the Ubanghul. It numbered about 600 men amd 120 officers, fcr the most part soldiers of the foreign I gion and Senegalese tirailleurs, men who, b ing well drilled and armed, were one and all used to African climate. The officcrs were also picked men. The mission was practically to assert France’s right as to the possession of the Hinterland cou extending through- out the Bar-El-Ghazel, to the left bank of the Nile. This is a part of the section of Africa which the treaty between Great Dritain and Belglum had nominally turned over to the former. The treaty, however, was virtually abandoned owing to the French protests, anco denying the right of the Belgal- Congalese government to ced the territory to England. It was also intended that Cap- tain Montel's force ehould be backed up by two gunboats, several stoam launches and fighters. Captain Monteil ia remarkable for a voyage lasting for two and one-half years, in the course of which he traversed Africa | from St. Louis on the west coast to Tripoli on the north coast, a voyage the result of which was to Increase ten-fold French am- bition and to lay the foundation of French influence in countries where no Frenchman had set foot before.

The room was crowded with the most notable persons in London. Lord Mayor Reynals, who presided, escorted Mrs Bayard, the wife of the American ambas- sador. ' Mr. Bayard sat on the right of the lord mayor and the marquis of Ripon, secre- tary of state for the colonies, on his left. Among those present were Henry Courtney, member of Parliament; Leslie Stephen, the noted writer; Richard Garnett, L.L.D., keeper | of printed books in the British museum; Sir Robert T. Reid, member of Parliament, and Mrs. Humphbrey Ward, the authoress. The marquis of Ripon offered a motion declaring the meeting, recognizing the importance of preserving to the nation such places, cor- dially approves the effort to purchase Mr. Carlyle's house.

BARCELONA, Feb. 22.—A violent anarch- ist named Carcanga, who was a friend of Pallas and Franch, has been arrested. After the explosion at the Lieco theater in this city on the night of November 7, 1893, for which crime Franch was garrotted, Carcanga fled to the woods with a companion. There was a strong suspicion that Carcanga had been implicated in the attempt in September, 1893, by Pallas, to assassinate Marshal Marti- nez de Campos, but nothing at that time could be proved against him. Lately Car- canga thought Bernicho was becoming tired of keeping in hiding, and that he would betray him to the authorities, and thus gain immunity from punishment for his own of- fenses, With this idea in his mind he de- termined to kill Bernicho, and did so. When the crime becam® known further attempts were made to capture Carcanga, and he has now been lodged in jail rope Medinting Interforence. ROME, Feb. 22.—The pope has entirely re- covered from the chill which recently at- tacked him, and is holding conferences with Cardinal Von Schoenberg, the archbishop of Prague, on the question of Christian so- clalists in Austria.
