There were two teams from the Roesland Kootenay the Nickel Plate and tbe Columbia Kootenay—the Le Roi and a team from the Boundary. The Boundary team was defeated by tbe men of the Columbia Kootenay and the Nickel Plate team, after a hard struggle, ohronicled in the Woiti.n yesterday, by the Le Roi. The final matoh was pulled at 6 o'olock in the evening before the Hoffman House between the Le Roi and the eastern end of the Rossland Kootenay Mines, the Columbia Kootenay. After an exciting struggle of 17 minutes the Kootenay men again won out. Tha Play. The play last night was muoh smoother than on the night before and it was a pity it did not command a better honss. There were no new specialties, which went muoh as before with the exception of the Queen of Hearts. Miss Irene Lewis, gaining" confidence, danced very well indeed. Owing to Miss Crowley's cold, evident on Tuesday evening, growing worse, her songs were perforce cut out and a domt ciliary visit from Mayor Dean out out the topical song whioh created such a furore on the first evening of the play. It is deolared that the Mayor, wrath at the manner in whioh he, duly eleoted mayor of this burg, had been held up to ridicule, fulminated threats ef taking away the lioenoe .of the author oi the offending verses, reputed to be the manager of the Clarendon. He regarded the whole song as a personal insult. The offending verses are:— "A smart Spokane detective came to town tbe other day, (We've seen detectives just like before). We've no smart men in Rossland, so the mayor sent away, (We've known the mayor do smart tricks like that before). This grafter in the witness box swore that he was no 'tec, (We've known detectives swear like that before). And now the oity finds that it has got it in the neck, (We've known the city get it there before). Whilst Dean is mayor of the town, We're sure to get done brown, It's really very shocking And the faot we must deplore; But it can't be helped, alas! When the mayor's green as grass. But he'll meet the fate of dozens Who have gone before. We've got a oity oouncil, you perhaps would like to know (We've had some oity councils here before) But this 'un's superiluouB,the mayor's the whole show (We've never had a mayor like him before) That he's out down all sal'ries except his own is true, (Wa've heard of outs like that beforo,) It's strange he pays them anything they've nothing left to do (We've heard of people getting left before,) Chorus. Whilst Dean, etc. In the World's opinion the author of the doggerel ought to be secluded for a period in the shadow of the pines to learn better. Had the mayor risen to a point of condemnation of the reprehensible Qrub street inkelinger for his scurrilous and dishonest attack he doubtless would have found a seconder. However, one cannot always see the right path. Tho Wrestling Matoh The wrestling matoh at the Inter national commenced strictly upon time at 10 o'clock, and the bout between the two athletes, George Gefford of this city and Harry Stevens of Butte, two Bplendid specimens of manhood, lasted for an hour and a half. The victor of the best three falls out of five was George Gefford who was backed at 3 to 2. Both were Cor- nishmen and both played an absolutely square game, olean throughout. Harry Stevens was the heavier man by about 15 pounds and was extremely aotive, but the great strength lay with Gefford. The first fall was scored by Gefford and so on alternately. When the men oame up for their final fall both flew at eaoh other and the lithe turnings, the aotive motions, the heaving chests and corded musoles were a revelation to the breathless spectators. After one or two unsuccessful attempts (George throwing his opponent twioe heavily on his head and neok,) Gefford was seen to be firmly held by hie opponent. Despite the hold, Gefford slowly straightened himself, lifting his bulkier antagonist clean off his feet and drawing him through his hold, dropped him fairly on his baok amid the plaudits of the spectators. It waB the cleanest and the best athletic encounter ever witnessed in this city. Tha Fireworks There was a fireworks display npon Monte Christo in the evening whioh attraoted quite a number of spectators during the evening. A bonfire lent some additional attractions to the scene. Numerous rockets of a varied nature were successfully Bent up. Boxing Content. There will be a bexing contest this evening at tie International under the patronage of the Carnival Committee between Queenan and Mullins for tea rounds. No decision is to be given unless a knockout is scored. Friends of Queenan are confident that he can do the triok, but those who have witnessed the activity and the toughness of Mullins are extremely doubtful of the former's ability to aooomplish any such feat. night on MINOR MENTION W.

The Portland Telegram, referr ing to Pulitzer's gigantic scheme of a school of journalism, pronounces judgment when it says epigramatic- ally that the school may teach journalism, but oannot make journalists. Like most epigrams the saying, after all, is but half the truth. Journalist! oannot be made at school no more than mine managers at college. There must be praotioal experience. But this does not mean that a mine manager would not be much the better man if he built his experience upon a solid substratum of a college course. Similarly no amount ol knowledge of law would make a good barrister, but he would be a poor barrister indeed if be had no knowledge of law, or only that which he picked up in the courts. The truth of the case is that there is no calling in life which demands a wider foundation than journalism. It is true that a "nose for news" will serve a youngster better than a good education. But that "nose for news" cannot take the beginner very far. This has been seen long ago in Europe, especially France, where a journalist is as often as not a brilliant man of letters. A university training is not essential to journalism, but it is a wonderful help. In the oities of the east a journalist finds it hard to break into the newspapers as a youngster, unless he has some such educational cachet. A journalist can far more easily do without a knowledge of shorthand than without a knowledge of letters. It follows, therefore, that Pulitzer iB right enough in endeavoring to remove the stigma of bald English of ridiculous affectation of rigidity, of grammar and construction, lying upon the papers of his oountry. But it is doubtful whether that stigma oannot be removed by demanding a higher educational standard in aspirants to journalism than by establishing a college whioh really can teach nothing. For any capable editor can tell on a very short trial of an ordinarily well educated applicant whether he has the requisite newspaper faoulty of being able to seize the salient points of that whioh passes before his eyes or not. The ability of so writing it up as to please the public palate is mainly a matter of education supplemented by praotioe and local knowledge. LIBERAL MANIFESTO Substance of the Fighting Platform. NEW PLANKS WHICH ARE ADDED Result of the Recent Liberal Convention Held Upon the Coast.

Vancouver, Aug. 2G.—A plat form for the British Columbia!Lib eral party has been constructed by the Executive committee in session here during the past few days, and upon this platform, issued as a manifesto and acoompanied by an address to the electors, the party will go to the country at the gen eral election on October 31. Naturally, only imperative changes have been made in the platform of two years ago, the added planks being designed chiefly to meet new conditions that have arisen in the interim. After quoting the former platform and reaffirming the principles it embodies, the Liberal party adds a plank for reform in the civil service and tbe system of appointment to publio offices, disclosure of gross abuses and injustices in the Bervice at Victoria having shown suoh reforms to be imperative. Another new plank favors the building of numerous trails and trunk roads, chiefly in outlaying sections of oountry. A third plank declares for the introduction of a comprehensive system of irrigation for the beneGt of farming lands in the interior, the fruit seotion of the Okanagan, and and the unwatered areas of the Fraser Valley being particularly referred to. A fourth plank emphasises the necessity of of a coast to Kootenay short line, and a fifth strongly denounces the two per cent tax on the mineral output. Two other planks favor publio works of varying importance. The administration of the southeast Kootenay coal and oil lands saved by the legislature from improper transfer to the C. P. R. is not dealt with, being regarded as a matter of administration rather than political prinoiple. Nor is referenoe made, as many had ex- peoted would be the case, to the desirability of remodelling the educational plan. No mention is made in the platform of the timber question, although it was discussed at length, and several trial planks were offered. Individually members of the exeoutive expressed an opinion coinciding with the contention made by the loggers some time ago, namely, that a tax should be oharged on the output of logs and a [rebate on timber manufactured in the Province. There are no startling features in the main address of Provincial Liberals. The name of Joseph Martin, former Liberal leader, is not even mentioned in the address which is signed by Stuart Henderson, as President, and T. S. Baxter, Secretary of the Provincial Association. In regard to the leadership the plan outlined is that four members of the Executive Bhall call together the elected Liberals of the House after the election, and that these members of the new Legislature shall choose a leader. Stuart Henderson, T. S. Baxter, J. A. Macdonald, head of the Kootenay Liberals, and Wm. Sloan, organizer on Vancouver Island, will issue the ^orn thin ? No!

WEEKS WORK OF EXECUTIVE Two Important Acts of Business Have Been Transacted at the Meetings. Tbe Provincial Mining Association finished its labors last night and were entertained in the evening by a banquet at the Lancaster whioh was well attended and the occasion passed pleasantly and profitably in tbe hearing of speeches •nd songs. The ohief work of the Association in its exeoutive session here was the drafting of a letter to eaoh and every candidate for politioal honors daring the coming eleotion, asking him to endorse the following aims ol the Association, passed in the general assembly at Viotoria early in the spring. 1.—Repeal of two per oent. tax. 2.—Extension of time to lapsing free miners' licences. 3.—No royalty on timber on mining olaims for mining purposes. 4.—Mineral crown grants to be reduoed from $25 to S10. 5.—To amend the Boiler Inspection Aot. 6.—Crown grants for plaoer claims. 7.—A conciliation aot for labor troubles. 8.—Consolidation and simplification of the mining laws. 9.—Opening of Indian reserves for mining purposes. The seoond important aotion was a motion by S. S. Taylor that the eoal lands in the East Kootenay district be let to bona fide workers under lease, but that present claimants should get the full benefit ef the law as it at present stood. This resolution was evidently stolen by Mr. Taylor from the Liberal manifesto. Besides this work there were several other matters dealt with, especially the Water Clauses Aot suggestions as to the amendment oi whiob are asked from the local organizations. In this connection a motion was made at the instance of A. C. Gait, declaring that the water rights on orown granted properties, acquitted under the Mineral Act, should not be forfeited if the min* er's lioense had expired. As this motion somewhat interferes with the WaterJClauses Aot suggestions, above alluded to, it is likely that it will not obtain ultimate endorsement until suoh time as the whole body takes definite action in this important matter. The general seoretary of the Mining Association ie to be replaced. TENNIS TOURNAMENT State of the Games in the Principal Series Now Being Played Off. Men's Open Singles. Rose. Rose ..
