AfUir eight liotin of contiriuou lieiry flglillng, DuikIm bill til carried by the Utiblln f iil leer and the King' Roytl rifle, under cover of a well-dirctd r tillery fire by the Thirteenth and Hixty. Blmh batUtrie. The Boer, who threat ened (he Britiah rear, Lave retired. The fight wa I in oat an exact counter part of that of MaJuU bill, except that the xjitiona of the JSoer and ttriti.h force were reverd. General 8ymoni w eererely, but not dngerouly, wouniled. The battle today wa a brilliant uo ce. The Boer got a reverne which may poaaibly, for a time at any rate, check all aggreoaive action. The Briu ili artillery practice In the early part i4 the day decided the battle. The aeixure of Dundee hill by the Boerwaa aurpriae; for, although ibe picket hail been exchanging aliot all oight, it wa not until a ihell boomed over the town Into the camp that their prence waa diacovered. Then the hull came faat. The bill wa positively alive with the awarming Boer till the British artillery got to work with uiig niflcent energy and preciiiion. The hatterie from tbe camp took up position to Ihe aouth of the town, and after a few hour magnificent firing i lenced the gun on the bill. Tbe corre spondent could aee shell dropping auiong the Boer piece with remarkable accuracy and doing treroendiiou execu tion, for the enemy were present in very large number and in place considerably expoed. By tliii time the enemy held the whole of the hill behind Smith's farm and the Dundee kopje, right away to the aoutb. In which direction the British infantry and cavalry moved at once. The fight ing raged particularly hot at the valley ouUide the town. Directly the Boer gun ceased firing, j General Symons ordered the infantry to 1 move on the position. The infantry charge wa magnificent. Tbe way the j King's Royal rifles anal the Dublin Itui- leer stormed the position was one of Ihe uioat splendid sight ever seen. The firing of the Boers was not so deadly as might bave been expected from troop occupying such an excellent position, but the infantry lost heavily going up the hill and only the consum mately brilliant way in which General Symons had trained them to fighting of this kind saved them from being swept away. Indeed, the hill waa almost inac cessible to the storming party, and any hesitation would have lost the day. Tbe enemy's guns, so far as the corre spondent could see, were all abandoned for the Boers had nO time to remove them. A stream of fugitives poured down the hillside into tbe valley where the battle went on with no abatement. General Symons wa wounded early In tbe action, and the command then de volved on Major Yule. The enemy, as they fled, were followed ; by the cay airy, mounted infantry and j artillery. Tbe direction taken was to ' tlie eastward. At the latest reports the ! cavalry had not returned. Some say that four and some say that : five guns were captured. The Boer ar tillery firing was weak. A lot of plugged shells were used. Although the enemy's position was carried soon after 1 o'clock, scattering fire went on almost all afternoon. The British losses are very severe, but those of the Boers are much heavier. The final rush was made with a trium phant yoll, and as the British troops charged to close quarters the enemy turned and fled, leaving all their impedi ments and guns behind them in their precipitate flight, While this was going on, one battery of artillery, the Eighteenth Hussars and the mounted infantry, with a part of the Leicester regiment, got on the enemy's flank, and, as the the Boers streamed wildly down the hills, making for the main road, they lound their retreat had been cut olT, but they rallied for a while, and there was severe fighting, with con siderable loss to each side. Many of the enemy surrendered. A rough estimate places the British loss at 250 killed or wounded, and that of the Boers at 800. A newspaper correspondent states that through his glasses during the fight ing today he noticed Jiow much the Boers seemed to be nonplussed by the tactics of the imperial troops; especially of the well-drilled, swift-moving horse men. The enemy are-still, as of old, a mob. They are without horses and forage, and many of them rely for food upon what they can obtain by looting. Their an trial are moatly in a wretched condition. It is understood that before today's battle several W had left their com mand and gone to their farms, and many others are now likely to follow. AMKKICA'II YACHT VICTOKIOIS. Ttaa Columbia Win Thru Btr.l.ht m -- nmrmt and lUUIn tha Cup. NswYoaa, Oct. 20. Through wild and hoary aea. In a breeze that ap proached the dignity of a gala, the gal lant aloop Columbia May fanaulshed the British challenger Shamrock by 6 mlnutoa and 18 second actual time, and 6 minute and 34 second corrected time, thus completing the aerie for the Ameri ca's cup with a magnificent ronirh- weather duel and a glorious Yankee victory.' For the eleventh time tbe attempt of a foreigner to wreat from America tbe yachting supremacy of the world ha failed. The trophy won by the old chooner America 48 yeara ago La still ours, a monument to tbe superiority of American seamanship and American naval architecture, and a standing chal lenge to the yachtsmen of all nations. Unbeaten, America again tastes tlie glory of victory. The intrinsic value of tbe reward, which hundred of thou sand of dollar were expended to secure is small imply an antiquated piece of silverware, which Queen Victoria ofler ed to the best sailing-ship in the world In the early day of her early reign but around it cluster the previous mem ories of unbroken American triumph and tbe honor of mastery in the noblest of sports To Sir Thomas Lipton, whose name la now added to the list ot defeated aspir ants for tbe honor of carrying tbe cup back across the Atlantic, failore was a crushing blow. Ilia hopes had been blgh. But, like the true sportsman that be is, the sting of defeat has left no bitterness, and with undaunted courage he intimates that be may be back with a better boat to try again. During hi stay here Sir Tbomaa ha made himself more popular than any previous challen ger, and tbe yachtsmen of tbe country will be glad to welcome him back. Except for the repeated flukes and the unfortunate accident to the challenger Tuesday, this series of races has been un marred by a single untoward incident. Tbe boats have bad two fair and square races, one in the light airs and the other in a heavy blow, and Sir Thorn is per fectly satisfied that he was beaten by the better boat CHRISTMAS BOXES.
