of yacht designing ; that it Is not

unfounded. Of any ten yachtsmen

In which all necessary experiments

unmistakably as any boat was ever
beaten. We don't believe that gen

the latter beat the Shamrock. Neith

OPERATION ON AN OSTRICH.
How tlic SurucouH un.l Aujlituutn Con
quered the Kit ; liirJ.
, A carload ot ostilches came Into In-
d'lanapolls by freight the other day.
Their presence was made known by an
Impatient ring at the telephone of Dr.
Garstang , local surgeon of the Big
Four. The doctor answered.
"Can you treat ostriches ? " a voice
asked.
"I might,1' sild the doctor , thinking
some \vag 1'rlend was talking. "Or I
might treat parrots or humming birds ,
but I don't make a Specialty of It. "
"I'm not kidding , " the voice contin
ued , as ho explained that lie wan the
Bright wood station agent and that a
carload of ostriches was "hung up"
there , lie further exphilnod Unit one
of the birds had accidentally cut Its
neck and there was fear that It was se
riously lujured.
Dr. ( inrstnng at once communicated
with Dr. YV. 15. Craig , veterinarian.
Both leaped Into the buggies and hur
ried to the Massachusetts avenue sta
tion , to which point the car containing
the ostriches was taken from Bright-
wood. Dr. Craig was accompanied by
Maurice Lynch , his driver , wherein lie
was lucky , as Maurice It. a wrestler and
boxer of no llttlo consequence.
When the doctors entered the car
they found It full of ostriches , whosi
long necks were as hlrh as the roof and
as low as the tloor. Dr. Craig , who \ \
almost as big as an ostrich himself ,
faced the largest group , containing
nine. A , big black ostrich darted < > nt
his head and tried to seize the doctor' *
Scottish Itlte pin. Another cleverly
pulled off a suspender buckle from an
Inquiring luliorer who hud Intruded Into
the car. Ilr tied , Tbe Injured ostrich
was bleeding from a long wound In Its
week.
Dr. Craig uuderHtowd at a glance
what was to be cU'ne. Tbe wound must
be treated with antiseptics ami sewed
up. The sewing , lie said , would be like
sewing a bootleg. But how to do Uils
was a question , lie appealed to the
two men who had charge of the os
triches. Carl Klrkham , the keeper , said
the only way was to get men enough
to hold the ostrich. There was him
self aud his assistant , Fred White.
They were about half enough. The doc
tor turned to Lynch.
'Here's your star engagement on the
mat , " he mild.
Lynch said untight , but rolled up bis
sleeves. The box cur was pulled along
side an empty car and a gangway con
structed. Across this the ostrich was
forced with some dltllculty. The clilef
danger , Kirk hum explained , was that
Injury makes an ostrich fei'oc'lous , and
a blow from his foot Is like the knock
out blow of a uiule. The keeper got
the bird by Its mighty wings and
Lynch got a hammerlock hold.
There was a struggle , much grunting
and a few expletives not usually print
ed , says the Indianapolis News , and
then down went the ostrich. Lynch
changed his hold and got a half-Nelson
and a foot hold. The big bird tried
vainly to rise again , but Lynch and
the keepers had him foul. „ ,
Dr. Craig washed the wounds with
antiseptics and took twenty stitches on
each side. The Injury was probably
canseil by a splinter aud may be fatal.
The neck was not bandaged , but was
plastered with antiseptic dressing.
Then the ostrich Avas allowed to rise
aud Lynch took a long breath.
"Shake , " be said. " 1 have no hard
feelings. "
The big bird wheeled anil lifted up
Us foot. It set It down alongside
Lynch's Jeft leg , and under It halt' of
Lynch's trousers leg went , too. Ills
leg was also scratched , but not seri
ously. Lynch received a new pair , with
the compliments of the Big Four.
The fifteen ostriches belong to Thom
as A. Cockabum of Hot Springs , Ark.
They have been exhibited In the East
and were resblpped to Mr. Cocknburu'a
Arkansas ostrich farm from Long
Branch , N. .1. They are valued at ? ! , -
ftOO each. Several present got real os
trich feathers while the wrestling
match between Lynch and the bird
was In progress.
DE WET'S AUDACITY.
Uoer Commander , Simile-Uniuled , Cap
tured a llrltlnh Wagon Train.
Stories of De Wet , the dashing com
mander of the Boers , are nearly all in
teresting. Capt. Kelchmnnn , In the
Journal of the Military Service Insti
tution , gives a striking Illustration of
the General's coolness and audacity :
The wagon-train was slowly coming
on under clouds of dust , and not a sin
gle patrol or scout preceded It. So far
as my observations went , there were
no soldiers with the Ilrst six or eight
wagons , which were of the lighter kind ,
contained the baggage , and were some
what In advance of the others.
At lust the heavy wagons were approaching
preaching , drawn by from eight to
twelve mules vacli , and on mo&t of the
wagonv sat one or more soldiers , facing
to the rear to watch events there , and
wholly uncoiiBciouK of their danger.
Gen. De Wet stood up In plain view ,
and called aud beckoned to the British
soldiers to "come In. "
They were taken entirely by sur
prise , and came In , aud were put away
In a safe place under a high bank north
of the crossing. As the wagons approached
preached , one aftur another , the Gen
eral called to the soldiers to "come In , "
and directed the wagons to pull to the
right or left of the road.
It seemed as If De Wet were going to
capture single-handed the entire train ,
and 1 can still see him standing there
in the road , with ills rifle at an order in
his right hand , and his left hand In the
air , beckoning "come In. "
Not a shot was fired and everybody
kept concealed. The thing went on for
lifUcn minutes or more , and soon there
was a considerable number of wagons
at the crossing lying helplessly under
the rifles of the Boers ; the number of
prisoners under the bank of the creek
was Increasing rapidly , and the string
of wagons still coming on extended all
the way back to the British camp.
Considering concealment no longer
necessary , we stoud up , walked over to
( ho prisoners , and took sonic snap shots
of them.
Narrow Quartern.
Mr. Spudkins had discovered the Hat
while out house hunting , and he took
his wife to see It , confident that she
would reward his discovery with words
of commendation , because he hiul saved
her so much trouble In the .search for a
home.
He was mistaken , ax usual.
Mrs. Spillikins went through the di
minutive rooms with critical eyes.
Then he expected her to discourse on
the hick uf closet room.
Here again he was mistaken.
"Uooms tire too small , " she saJd.
"Knsler to heat , my dear , " Sjmdklns
ventured , "and they won't take so
much carpet. "
Mrs. Spudkins went on , Ignoring
these considerations.
"Why , there Isn't room hero to swing
a cat. "
Hcieiipon Mr. Spudkins drew himself
up with dignity and said severely :
"Then , m.ilenr . , we Until be com
pelled to seek -ome other , and , let us
hope , a more refined form of exercise
than cat swim-Ing. "
'lint even this did not move her , and
they proceeded on the weary sfarch for
