The cbampiouship Record.
Senators were outplayed.


BROOKLYN, May 15-To-day's game abounded
in hard hitting, spasmodic good fielding, and
plenty of errors Tho Senators hit the ball all
right but the Bridegrooms met the ball oltener
and with better effect. Besides, the visitors could
not resist the opportunity TO fall down nine
times on chances TO make plays, while the home
players were slightly more modest in their
error making.
out il looked as If they would have waIk-over,
and so 1t proved in the end, but Schmelzs lads
gave them a scare for five innings. II was too
much OF an effort for the Senators to catch up,
and they were hopelessly beaten when the
home team piled up six additional runs i'll the
sixth inning.
The Washngtons were greatly handicapped
by the brilliant fielding of Tom DAILY ai second
who accepted all of his thirteen chances, and In
addition hit the ball 10 good advantage. Rad-
ford, Dugdale Sullivan, and Tebeau led at the
bat for the visitors Joyce started in the game
but retired in favor of Ward who put up fairly

PROGRESS OF APPROPRIATIONS.
Congress Is Abour as Far Advanced as
Usual in Their Consideration


The comment, usual at this season, is heard
about the condition Of the appropriation bills,
End the suggestion has been made in some
quarters that these bills are not SO far advanced
a. in former long sessions of Congress. An ex-
animation of the records does not sustain the
opinion that these bills have so far this session
been unusually delayed. There have, however,
been no sessions for the past eight years when
some of the appropriation bills have not been
farther advanced than during this session, ana
none when some of the bills have not passed
previous TO this date, but the average has so far
during ;he present session been almost if not
quite maintained
There is still an abundance of time to dispose
of ali these details before the close of the fiscal
year if too much time is not required in the Sem
ate for the consideration of the tariff bill Sem
ator CocErell, chairman of the Committee on
appropriations, said yesterday that there would
be effort TO pass the appropriation bills in the
but that the committee would attempt TO keep
them well up so as to have them ready for Con-
eideration as soon as the tariff should be dis
posed OF.
Up TO this date nine of the fourteen appropria-
tion bills have passed the House and three of
the remaining five have been reported from the
House Committee on Appropriations. The leg
islative and the deficiency bills have not yet
been reported to the House from the Appropria-
tions Committee, but the former will make its
appearance in few days, and the latter is pur-
posely held back so that it may include all def
ciencies occurring up to reasonable time be-
fore the fiscal year closes. Chairman Savers
expects, however, that it will be passed by
June

LOUISVILLE. May 15.-Over $1,000 people
assembled at Churchill Downs to see the con-
test for the twentieth renewal of the Kentucky

What is Beautys "Question ofa Blind
Man!o
Replied Aristotle But Mrs. Sherwood
says that it is dynamite in her article
which opens the interesting pages of the
July Cosmopolitan. Beauty is always a
fascinating subject, and Mrs. Sherwood's
discussion is an especially interest one.
That the July Cosmopolitan is midsum-
mer number is shown in many directions
Three short stories including one of
sport and adventure, two travel articles,
and other light matter, make up 12S
pages of charming summer reading.
The July Cosmopolitan marks the close
of the first year since since the Revolu-
tionary announcement was made that the
price of the magazine, already low had
been cut to one half of three dollars year
All sorts of prediction have come to be un-
fulfilled during the year-it would be i'm
possible 10 maintain the rate
the quality would be lowered-the
size would be decreased. But even
severe critics admit that with each
terment in the quality of articles and illus
trations. and the size has remained un-
changed, except the always growing ad-
vertising pages. The magazine printed for
the six months embraced Volume xvi one
million four hundred and nineteen tift,tts-
and copies, an entirely unapproached rec
ord, and has doubled its already large
plant of presses and binding machinery.
The walls of the magazines new home are
rapidly rising at Irvington-on-tie Hudson.
