BELMoNT,s BIG PURCHASE.
Henry of Navarro and Dorian
Change Owners.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-August Bel
mont has purchased Henry of Ma
varre from Byron McClelland, and
Dorian fTohm J. W. Rogers. A special
TO the Evening World from Saratoga
says: Though the interested parties
were not inclined to state the prices
paid, it is believed that not less than
$40, 900 was paid for the pair. Mr.. Bel
mont has been negotiating for the pur-
chase of Henry of Navarro for some
time, but the news that he had pur-
chased Dorian also was a. complete
surprise. Dorian will be turned over
to Byron McCleTland at once and the
latter will retain Henry of Navarro.
He will train both horses until the
fall. 1t is whispered that Mr.. Belmont
intends to take his stable to England
next year and race there. This, how
ever, may or may not be true. Mr..
Belmont was at the track, but did not
want to be quoted as to his intentions.
1t may be stated with truth, however,
that Mr.. Belmont intends racing In
England next year, as he has made
extensive entries in the two-year-old
stakes in that country. He will prob
ably send some horses over, and as
to whether Henry Of Navarro and Dor
ian will go Mr. Belmont does not know
himself
Mr.. Belmont paid $4,000 for Henry
of Navarro and $500 for Dorian He
does not intend. he says, 10 race them
in England. He proposes to CONNIE
his racing operations to America, mop
ing TO elevate the standard OF the turf

WON HIS CASE.
How n Virginia Colonel Played
Upon the Feelings OF "a Jury.

How n Virginia Colonel Played
Upon the Feelings OF "a Jury.
The most interesting figure in the
group is Col. B., a large old man,
with commanding port, red face
and silvery hair. From head to foot
he is attired in white linen, his
voice is mellow and he has what the
darkies call "a mask on him."
Col. B. is a great criminal lawyer
and is warranted to clear anybody
if he can practice with his lifelong
partner, Mr.. R. In any famous case
case the colonel makes the speech
and Mr.. r. sits in front of the jury
and at all the affecting passages
shed copious tears, and no jury has
ever been known to resist the elo-
Quence of the one and the piteouS
sobs of the other. But recently Col.
5. had for client a man who had
murdered in cold blood one of his
neighbors The Courant reported
the trial at the time and joined with
the Virginia press in condemning
the verdict, which set the accused
free. You did not know what was
done to pervert the minds of the
jurymen. Several eloquent counsel
from Richmond made stirring
speeches. but the murderer, who
was wise fellow, chose
that the old colonel close for the de-
tense. Every legal point had been taken
by his colleagues, a brilliant poet had
done the boring for water appropriate
TO the occasion, another had argued
against the crime of capital punish
ment. Everybody wondered what line
was left for the senior counsel. The
old fellow walked into the court room
about O'Clock on a sweltering May
afternoon, and, hopping his face with
his red silk handkerchief, addressed
the jury. Not one word in defense Of
the crime or the criminal did he say,
but he talked TO each man. He told
one how he used to know him when he
was a shaver, and another that he
went to the old field school with his
father. He praised another's tobacco
and complimented third on his gray.
mare.
To each one of the twelve he had
something familiar, flattering or rem
iniscent to say, and then, on the score
OF ola JlI06S ana ancient ITltHuSIlp, I6
asked them TO clear his client.
I'm an old man, gentlemen" he
said, with a husky note in his voice;
1.-The shadows are frightening Soon
my sun will set, and your strong arms
will bear me to my last home
At this juncture, Mr.. r., the weeping
member of the firm, began to sob. The
old colonel swallowed his emotion and
went on:
This is probably my last speech in
defense of an innocent man in this
court room. Shall he suffer for my
falling power, because 1 no longer
thrill with eloquence, move you with
logic? Gentlemen of the jury, your
old friend, your fathers old friend,
asks you to let him go free"
The jur. quilted the room to return
minutes consultation. This is a spec
linen of the personal influence of
person whose chiefest quality is thai
subtle thing, personality.

N0ISELESS
Is the Game of Bowling With
These New Alleys.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The manufacturers of summer game
appliances have had their hands full.
and the novelties in both outdoor and
indoor recreations are numerous. The
bowling enthusiast will learn with sat-
isfaction that new departure has
been taken in the construction of bowl
ing alleys, which will inevitably pro-
mote the extension and popularity of
his favorite game. The manufacture
of bowling alley plants has become an
important speciality. Only the finest
and most perfectly seasoned lumber is
used, and the alleys are made in sec
tons, and can be transported to any
part of the United States and laid down
by competent workman.
An innovation is the construction of
steel-plate bowling alleys, the beds be-
ing formed of steel plates resting on
steel bearers These are practically
imperviouS to the effects of atmoSpher-
ic influences, and are much in request
IN mountainous districts. They are
easily adjusted, and provided with a
patent attachment by which a perfect
level of the surface is always assured
The leveling can be done by child.
But the newest and most striking idea,
and one which will commend itself
very. generally, IS that of a noiselesS
bowling alley. Bowlers can now enjoy
themselves all day, and all night. if
they wish. without disturbing their
neighbors, and the visitor to the sum
meT hotel Will miss an important item
from his chronic complaint list. Bowl
ing alleys are now made with a thick
sheeting OF rubber extending over their
whole surface The balls and pins are
also covered with a thick layer of rub
Der, and the alleys fitted with these
projections are guaranteed to be abso-
lutely free from noise.

NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Unpire Burnham in Hot Water at
Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Aug. b
Umpire Burnham was the star feat
ure Of today's game. Almost at the
start the New York players began
roasting him, and they kept it up
until the last man was out in the
ninth inning. Capt. Boyle questioned
nearly every decision, and at the
close of the fourth inning the New
York captain rushed up to Burnharn
and called him a, vile name The lat
ter lost his temper completely, and
after filming Doyle 500 put him out
of the game. The two men had a
wordy alteration, which ended by
Doyle being ordered of the grounds.
The game was a series Of wrangles
until the seventh inning, when ali
Of the New York players and half
the home team got around the UNI
pire, and the wrangle was kept up
for nearly ten minutes. Burnham
was the worst rated umpire seen here
for a long time. Rusie was knocked
out of the box in the first inning,
a home run, two doubles and a sin
gle being made off him before any
one was out. Clarke succeeded him,
ana pitched a game that would have
won had his support been good. At

TWO BOYS
Who Worked n Clever scheme on
sympathetic People.

Sympath People.
Philadelphia Record.
Just as the Sylvan Glen came into
her mornings at Arch street wharf yes
terday afternoon great excitement was
G sed by little boy, apparently
aH6ut six years old, who had toppled
from his perch on the pilings and was
struggling in the water. He was call
ing loudly for help, and it was evil
dent from his actions that he could not
swim. In addition 10 the people on the
boat the mishap was witnessed by quite
a crowd on the wharf Everybody be-
gan shouting and telling everybody
else what to do, and it looked as though
the little chap would be allowed to
drown.
In the midst of the excitement an
other boy pushed his way to the edge
of the dock, and in a twinkling had
taken header into the water. Quick
]y swimming to the struggling young
ster, he grasped him around the body,
and in an incredibly short space of
time had towed him TO the pilings.
where eager hands lifted both the drip
ping little figures up to the wharf
Somebody in the crowd suggested a coll
lection, and a hat was passed around.
When it was turned over TO the larger
OF the two boys it was nearly half full
OF coins. Just then a policeman ap-
peared upon the scene, and the two
boys mysteriously disappeared so
they're up to their old tricks, are

GRAND OAK IN SOUTH CAROLINA
standing Over Bed of PhOs-
