He at once drove to Rowenna, and a short distance north of that place, he found his team, a bay horse with four white feet hitched to a red running-gear buggy. The horse was tied to the fence and the team was alright in every particular, save the whip and blanket which were gone.

Millionaire New Yorker Is Handy with His Fists and Delights in the Rough Exercise. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr, is a lover of sports in general, although he is not carried away with any of them in par- ticular. He is, however, a clever boxer and likes on occasions to have a friend- ly bout with some of his friends. His teacher at the New York Athletic club regrets that young Vanderbilt should waste as an amateur abilities that might win for him a belt and distine- tion in the professional ring. There are other amateur boxers of social distine- IT LASTED FOUR ROUNDS. tion in New York who are so expert that their friends have asserted that they could knock out most profession- als in their class. A dozen friends of one such amateur learned to their cost some time ago that their confi- dence was misplaced. The amateur has held a commission in a crack na- tional guard organization and he was in his college days a skilled oa®man. He was not averse to a friendly little mill with a well-known professional if it could be “pulled off” without pub- licity. A room was engaged in Brook- lyn and the whole affair was arranged with the greatest secrecy. The pro- fessional brought over with him three friends who were sworn to silence. The amateur’s friends came in small parties and when time was called for the first round everyone settled down for a sporting evening. It lasted only four rounds and then the amateur was knocked out. The professional was generous enough to say that he had proved a “hard proposition,” but that did not wipe out defeat. Ea A Case in Point, “Do you believe all geniuses egotists?” “No. Look at me.
