The Multnomah Athletic Club boxers have been training faithfully for the past two weeks and are reported to be in splendid shape. The Olympic Club bcxers are in fine form for the contests. De Witt Van Court, the boxing instructor of the Olympic Athletic Club, will coach his boys. Willie Dwyer is looked upon as a likely winner in the 125-pound class. He is a two- handed fighter and likes the game. That he anticipates a hard fight is evidenced by the manner of his training. Bobby Lundie will wear the winged “0" in the lightweight division. He has also trained hard - and is nearly down to weight. It is to be regretted that no heavy-weight boxer has been found to give battle to Al Kauffman, the Olymplc Club champion, who came here for a contest.

At that time the pepulation of the colony was about 5000, made up of pirates, fishermen, farmers and granite- workers, living in huts made of baked mud and bricks and holding no inter- course with the outside world beyond Canton, which lies ninety miles to the north. “This was sixty years ago, and to-day Hongkong has a population of 300,000 souls, a fine city for its capital, splendid roads, schools, churches, banks, hospitals, clubs, hotels newspapers electric light, cable cars—in short, almost eve: ! which we are accustomed to associate | with the idea of advanced clvilization— wkile it Is connected with the outside byl cable and by the most extensive system | of steamship lines which converge at any | single port in the world.” 'Hongkong is the biggest seaport in the world, its shipping surpassing that of Londof or New York in quantity.

K. Douglas, whom she meets on Saturday. A battle royal is expected, as the English woman is a fast player and a good general, while Miss Sutten throughout the tournament exhibited form never equaled at Wim- bledon. That Miss Sutton's triumph fis most popular was shown when she defeated in two straight sets Miss C. Wilson, who played beautiful tennis and only suc- cumbed after a hard fight. The spectators rose in a body and cheered the young American again and again. To-day’s match proved to be the hard- est Miss Sutton had yet struck. There were four deuce games in both sets. The American was tired at the commence- ment of the second set and the Kentish champion seemed to be winning when Miss Sutton rallied and ultimately won. She played a magnificent back line game and her drives kept her opponent from getting near the net. Miss Sut- ton’s victory was very popular. An enor- mous gallery witnessed the motch and roundly cheered the young American win- ner. . In the ladies Thomson and Longhurst Sutton and Morton 6-3, 6-3. In the doubles to-day, the Britishers, S. H. Smith and Frank L.

If a freight train of forty -6r fifty cars and weighing over 2000 tons is traveling say twenty miles an hour, and the air brakes are applied and act simultaneously and with equal efficiency on every car, the whole train would be brought to rest without any danger of crushing or displacing the cars. But iIf the action of the brakes should be faulty, and the brakes should be set hard on say only the first half or third of the train, the enormous momentum of the .last half or two- thirds, expending itself on the portion upon which the brakes are in full ag tion, brings a crushing strain which the cars are unable to withstand, and they are forced into one another or twisted from the track and thrown sidewise onto the adjoining tracks. It is well known among rallroad men that accldents of this kind are extremely frequent and that they constitute a standing menace to fast trains on the adjoining passenger tracks—a menace that cannot be safeguarded by signals, not, at least, if the wreck should take place when the express is within a short distance of or passing the freight train. This is one of the perils to which the recent rapid growth of freight traffic and the endeavor to cheapen its transportation by using enormous engines and trains of exag- gerated length have brought ms. The only safeguard against it is the exer- cise of eternal vigilance on the part of the engineers of passenger trains, and the most careful use of the air brakes on the part of the engineers of long and heavy freight trains.—Sclen- tific American. —_——— Insuring Against Twins. An English gentleman of limited means had married recently into a very prolific family. Thers was prospect of an addi- tion to :his household. “Twins,” reflected the gentleman, “are much mere expensive to support than one child.” And he sent his broker to one of Liloyd's underwriters. The underwriters set an actuary to look over vital statis- tics and make a few calculations. Then, for the sum, I think, of 25 guineas, he in- sured the gentleman in £1000 against the advent of twins. This somewhat threadbare tale shows fairly both sides of the game of insur- ance. The evident side i1s chance. The underwriter invited a loss of 2973.15.0, for which he would have nothing to The point of the story is that the lady presented her impecunious husband with one fine son. The underwriter, deduct- ing, say| £2 the value .of his time and his actuary’s, set down a net profit of £24.5.0, for which he had advanced noth- ing—but the risk, science.—Leslie’s Monthly. of Maine and New of Mame 4 Brunswick, distance the will doubtless yleld to diplomatic treat- ment. New Brunswick lum by Five Points at the End of First Day's Shoot CONTEST ., VERY CLOSE Captain MeLean Confident His Men Will Carry Off Honors at Long Ranges ot "R RISLEY, England, July 6.—The Amert- can team of riflemen was five points to the good after a remarkably close shoot at the 500 and 600 yard ranges on the first day of the contest for the Sir Howard Vincent shield against the Queen’s West- minster Volunteers. This lead was se- cured at the 500 yard ranges, the score at 600 yards being even at 369. Captain Robert McLean said to a rep- resentative of the Associated Press that he was satisfled with the result and was eonfident the team would be able to hold its own at the long ranges, 300 and 1000 yards. When the Americans left the 500 range with a five-point lead they received a round of hearty cheers from the on- lookers. The Americans made 49 and the | Westminsters 46 bullseyes at 00 yards range. The competition was one of the clos- est ever witnessed at Risley, and the keenest .interest was taken in It as the day's shooting was closing. The West- minsters fired quicker than the marks- men of the Seventh, and finished fifteen minutes before the Americans. Becclus, one of the Westminster reserves, led the scoring. At 600 yards he scored 11 bullseyes and four inners, being but four short of the possible score. Stevens, of the Seventh, at 500 yards hit the bullseye 12 times, but he had two in- ners and one magpie at 8v and his scors fell to 69, spoiling a good beginning. The next highest to Becchus for the West- minsters was Mansfield, also a reserve man. Stall led the Seventh with 134. After the shooting. the teams were entertained at tea by the Westminsters, the latter's band playing during the function. —_———— WORK ALREADY DONE ON PANAMA CANAL Chief Enginecer Wallace Tells What Has Been Accomplished and What Is Proposed. The work done on the isthmus during the past nine months is more significant in the fact that it is largely preparatory to the work that is to come, says Chief Engineer Wallace of the Panama Canal | in_Harper's Weekly. Engineering parties are covering the entire isthmus, making surveys and checking the French data—mapping and surveying the streams and finding out the discharge of the various water- courses, in the Chagres River particu- larly; taking borings to determine the character of foundations available for dams and determining the geological for- mation of the isthmus along the canal line. This work is being done te verify | the data which were found in the French archives and to secure additional mation. In the engineering and construction de- partment during the month of March there were 5000 men empioyed. In tRis force are 700 Americans—civil engineers, clerks, foremen and mechanics—men of the higher grades and directing opera- tions, including steam-shovel men and trainmen. There are 1100 native artisans —machinists, carpenters, bricklayers and other skilled artisans—composed of Ja- maica negyoes, Spanish, Central Ameri- can peons, all classes of labor other than Americans. In addition to this, in the sanitary de- partment—draining swamps, clearing jun- gle and work of that character, and serving as officials of the zone govern- ment, police force, etc.—there are practi~ cally 2500 men. This force of 7500 men, under the auspices of the Isthmian Canal Commission, is increasing daily. For in- stance, in the Culebra excavation a new steam-shovel {s installed about every two weeks. This means more cars, more en- gines, more crews. The force engaged in the canal requires extensive housing. In the architects’ de- parument there are %4 men engaged in planning, rebuilding and repairing houses. That work is being pushed as fast as the men can be employed to do it and as fast as the materials can be infor- Annually. “Munich is the great Beer city of world,” said Fritz Sommersen, Memphis, ‘who has recently ret from a cone tinental trip. ‘“‘There a nearly 9000 brewerles in Bavaria, big and little, of abcut one to every 1000 inhabitants.
