| York reporter: II Will be only too pleased
| TO accommodate Edgar Murphy. and if he

Queenstown. Sept. 26--The steamer Ma
Jest.c, from New York, arrived here at 3 Is
O'Clock yesterday morning. Sailmaker
Ratsey and seventeen members of the
| crew of the yacht Valkyre III. who were
on board the Majestic, are unanimous in
their expression Of indignation that the
Nalkyrie should have been hampered as
she was by excursion boats and other
craft. In an interview with q, representa-
tive of the Central News today, CommO-
dore Glennie said that he did not attach
much Importance to the challenge Of
Charles ID. Rose for the Americas cup.
He also expressed his belief that Lord
Dunraven's colors would never be seen
in America again.
The wearerS of bloomers and so-callc1
rational dress can quote at least one
clergyman as authority for their cos
sermon the Rev. Robert Jones' pastor OF
the Williams Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church. Brooklyn, sad: "Woman's dress
on the wheel is subject of criticism. and
tional dress?' Any wheel costume is
more sensible than the trailing skirts that
sweep the dust and dirt of our sidewalks.
Wheel dress even in the extreme Is not
as rank in its tendency toward immodesty
as the modern bathing suit, opera or ball
dress. a wheelwoman should always he
dressed in womanly way as far as possi-
BILE. with convenience In movement and
propr.ety In appearance. Any extreme to-
ward masculine style OF dress may COM
promise her womanly honor and grace"
cit VIII be a great day for the Orioles
when the thing Is decided" writes Sam
Crane. "and If they win. next Monday
night will see some high old times in the
Tenderlo!n. | cannot see where
or how 1t will benefit the game little bit
If the Cevelands win. As between the
two cities, Baltimore Is certainly entitled
to first honors. Even when the Spiders
were in the lead during the season and
fighting hard to hold It, crowd of 800 at
the games in Cleveland was about the
average. In Baltimore the average was
nearer 5.OOO and possibly more. Where
people are ready and anxious to support
the game and do so, they certainly de-
serve more than city that doesn't even
appreciate a good thing. I should prefer
that the Phillies should win In preference
to the Baltimores just on this account.
No city In the country has supported its
team like the Quaker City. 1t would give
the game a great boom there, and serve
to remind players that the famous Orioles
are not nvincible. Manager Te-
beau, Of the Clevelands, seems to imagine
that he can run AnsOn as he pleases.
The Cleveands have a postponed game
with the Chicagos, which is due to be
played. II played at all. In Chicago. Patsy
at first wanted the game to be played in
Cleveland. and no doubt wondered why
1t wasn't agreed to by every club in the
league.' Now Tebeau wants the ar
rangement Of the game left undecided
until 1t is seen whether II will influence
his chances for the pennant for good or
evil. If II Is necessary to win the game
to win the championship he wants to
play IT, II not he does not. This has n lit
tie tinge Of injustice about 1t, and will
not have a good effect in the east An
son saw the danger of entering into any
such arrangement and sat down on the
scheme at once. Ha said: 'Anse will
have something to say about that game
Tebeau should either arrange to play the
game on some particular day or throw 1t
uD entirely" i"
