THE ROYAL EDINBURGH CONCERT co.
The Royal Edinburgh Concert Co. will
appear in the town hall on Thursday
evening, March 5. These Selfish singers
recently appeared before packed house
in Pittsburgh, and the Dispatch says of
it, "Carnegie Music hall was filled with
the melody of those grand old Scotch
songs that never fail to waken the most
beautiful memories, and sweetness will
be as enduring as the hills and yales and
glory of the land which gave them birth.
The range of the performance was from
the tender and beautiful to the mrlh-pro-
voking, and every number on the pro-
gramme was in the hands of artists OF
the highest character, all having won the
highest laurels through ghout the British
Isles and stand in the first rank OF theil
profession"

The political war is red-hot in Canada,
where the elections will be held next
Thursday. The warmth of the fight is
startling, and nothing like it is ever seen
in the States, even in presidential years.
The conservatives dcnounce liberals who
are for annexation as "rebcls' and
"trators" and charge them with ''trea-
SON" and the liberals are not much be-

A Little More Trouble for Luther Cary on
Account of His New 22O-Yard Record
Mr.. Avery Makes Statement About the
Matter.
NEW YORK, June 3.-Luther Cary is a phe-
nomenal sprinter, and has done some won
derful work on the track. 1t is unfortunate
ly the fact, however, that his attempts to
break records have always been SO burdened
with suspicion of inaccuracy or trickery as
to cngender feeling of distrust in the ath-
letlc community. 1t aprears that his last
great feat in the 220-yard run, in which he is
credited with lowering the worlds record to
2lA seconds, rests or a rather sha1y founda-

A Few Funny Statements About How Easily
Darrin Defeated Priddy.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrATcH.l
NEW YORK, June 3.-Harry Darrin, the En-
glish professional runner, was interviewed
at "Mart" Kirby's to-day in regard to re-
turn match with Peter Priddy. Darrin
looked very spruce since his return from the
Smoky City, and the New York crowd must
have brought back a pot of Pittsburg money,
for it has been q continual round of pleasure
since their return.
"Will 1 run Priddy another match?"
queried Darrin: as he gave the barkeeper the
familiar sign. "Well, should think so. I'd
like nothing easier, you know. There's only
one thing in his challenge 1 object to, and
that is the two months time. Priddy, or
any other runner, can get in condition this
warm weather in a month, and I'll run him
three miles for s, 900 side in month, or
have it a sweepstakes of $500, open to Nc
Clelland, Grant or any other runner who
may want to come in. If Priddy means busi-
ness let him, send forfeit of $50 to the Police
Gazette and I'll cover it,"
DarTfn won Saturday IS race with ridiculous
ease. He is a great mud horse" for the
mud was a foot deep in some parts of the
track, while one puddle of water extended
for 75 yards. There has been some comment
on the apparently slow time, l7:40, but it was
fast considering the condition of the track
Priddy set the pace as fast as he could, for
he was well acquainted with Darrin's speed,
and knew the latter could outsprint him at
the finish. The Englishman stuck like a
burr, however, and on the second mile took
turn at setting q fast clip. Priddy hung
on, but the effort exhausted him, and in the
stretch Darrin went away from him as if he
was standing still. The Pittsburg talent bet
the New Workers to a standstill, offering as
high as to / against Darrin at the close.

the time was announced, George W. Carr
and F. W. Jansen were standing convers-
ing. when approached by Timer Avery.
What happened is related by Mr. Jansen as

dressing Mr.. Avery.

Avery-Oh, it's no good. didn't look

Carr-Well, put it in anyway.
Avery-Weli, L can't do it now. 1 haven't
got it. 1 turned the hands back.
1t can be readily seen that had Avery
turned in his time Cary would not now be
credited with the worlds record for go
yards. In the event of Avery's time being
taken, the time submitted would have been:
Hughes, 2l 3-5; Robertson, 2l34; Reed, 2l As;
Avery, % Is. Any equalization of those
four records would have increased Cary's
time.
