An Odessa papers punished early In July details 'id, Abe reckless wager of Captain XHnaky.fk St. Petersburg dragoon officer. Hinsky undertook to cross Aslarftach Kuropatklns headdash through quarters at the Japanese lines Invading Port Arthur, enter the town, break through the naval brigade and reach Chefoo in China. He was to get 150,000 If he succeeded, but to pay nothing (save, perchance, his life) if he failed. Disguised as a Ilinsky succeeded. . sauntered he calmly Chinaman, In broad the army Japanese through daylight. The Russian forts fired on him, but on his waring the national flag, which he had wrapped around his body, they welcomed him to the fortress. Three nights later, carrying dispatches from Stoessel to prove that he hud succeeded, he sailed through the Japanese fleet and reached Chefoo. The Journey took him six week After risking his life Ilinsky never got his money. Wlhen, three months after starting, he reached St. Petersburg, he found the layer of the 150,000 wager a bankrupt. More tragic was the result of a Japanese bet recorded in the Veldmostl. A captive Japanese officer, imprisoned at Omsk, in Siberia, bet the Russian officer In charge of the prisoners a kopec for every minute that Port Arthur held out after June I. This entailed liability of about $7.50 a day. The Jap owed his Jailer on October 1 nearly $1,000. The Russian asked for a payment on account and offered to terminate the bet. The Japanese said nothing, but retired to his room and shot himself dead with a revolver. A member of the English club at Moscow made a bet with a fellow countryman that the Czars troops would win a victory within a week of the birth of an heir to the throne. The birth came off, t)ut was not followed by the victory, and $35,000 changed hand A correspondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung declared that the patriotic Japanese were so determined to die for their country that some officers made bets that they would be killed In battle. The money was to go to their widow An officer named Motoiio." says the on starting for the correspondent, front In May made the following If he was killed within a wager: month his heirs were to receive 1.000 yen ($500). After that date he was to pay ten yen a day until he had survived one hundred day after which the bet was to cease. Motono undertook to expose himself to danger only when military conditions demanded It; In other word not wilfully to let himself be killed. A Lyons paper records the queer war bet of M.

The knockout came In the last round when both men were almost completely exhausted and ready to drop. At the tap of the gong both men came to the center of the ring with a rush, barely taking time to shake hand No sooner had they squared themselves In the center of the ring than both took a fixed iiosture and carelessly and promlsclously tore loose with terrific rights and lefts at earh other, without protecting themselves, and It seemed like one determined effort on the part of each man to circumvent an Inevitable draw. These terrible exchanges were kept up until within twenty seconds of the end men were preparing themselves to leave the the ater when suddenly one of Hchrecks terrific right upper-cut- s caught Gardner squarely on the Jaw and sent the latter to the mat for the count. Gard ner arose after he had been counted out and Schreck seemed to finish Gardner, but Referee Bean crowded Schreck to his corner as Gardner was too groggy to move, even with the assistance of his seconds. The entire fight was fast from the outset, although both men did considerable clinching all through the battle to avoid overhand lefts and rights. Up to the deciding punch neither man had any visible lend and the mill was on its way toward a draw. Schreck fought in spurts, every now and then pouring lefts and rights at Gardner that would have sent any two men to dreamland. Gardner, by ctev-e- r blocking, avoided most of these swings, however. Gardner would also take an occasional spurt, but his terrific swings fell equally as wide as those of Schrecks. Both men were In splendid condl tion, although Schreck appeared by far the more rugged and both took considerable punishment. Gardners bled freely, while nose, as usual. Schreck's eyes were both closed In alternating rounds. The knockout came like a thunderbolt from a clear sky a surprise to everyone In the The entire evenings program was pulled off without a hitch. A ten round preliminary between Terry Davis of Salt Lake and James Hackett of Han Francisco was stopped in the seventh round after a hard go and the decision given to Davis by order of the chief of police.

The red, orange and yellow rays are the less deviated and are confused with the solar point of which they have the color, but the eye perceives clearly the green and blue rays while the Indigo and violet, which are the most dispersed sad the most luminous, cannot be seen. . er R.

A hundred tickets, dating consecutively from June 1. were Issued, each costing $30. The holder of the ticket hearing the date of Port Arthur's relief was to receive $2,500, the remaining $3,500 to go to the fund. As Port Arthur was not relieved within one hundred days, the prize was not awarded, and the holders or the tickets agreed to forego their claims.
