TWO OUT or YOUR
The Talent Pick a Couple
OF Favorites.
QUITE A LITTLE SENSATION.
The Races at Narrsgansstt Will
Prohably End on July Is.

Two favorites won at Narragansett Park
yesterday, Sir Dixon, Jr., and Devola.
oThe opening event went to X illirhoe at
3to l, who made a pretty finish. Clarus,
10 to shot, beat out the the fcvorite,
Fargo fa- the place.
Onnolee had things s.l her own way In
the second event, defeating Tomoka, the
favorite, handily. Cheops was third,
Philomena was the odds on favorite In the
third race. The filly ran well and looked
like sure winner, heading the procession n
up to within a few yards of the wire,
when Tinge pushed his way to the front
and won by half length. The result was
considerable OF a surprise.
Sir Dixon has been unfortunate during
the present meeting. The colt mas started
NUMBER OF times with but little success.
once he finished first and then was dis
quaiined by the Stewards for fouling Kill
Kenny. Sir Dixon was In excellent condi-
ton yesterday and won the race easily
with plenty Of daylight to spare. His
success was highly gratifying not only to
Mr.. Rieser, but to his hundreds OF ad-
mirers.
In the fifth race the Madison Stables
entry, Devola, went to the post heavily
backed. The betting opened at 4 to 1, but
the odds took vigorous slump and to
was the quotation at the closing. The
nlIy had no difficulty In winning the
rase. She finished a good four lengths
In front OF Gloria, who was the chief con-
tender throughout the race.
Between the third and fourth events
considerable stir was aroused by the ex.
pulsion from the grounds of man named
w. Loud, who bore q badge bearing the
name OF Mr.. Baldwin, owner OF the santa
Anita stable. Track Detective Connors
claimed thatLoud was an Questionable
character, confscated the badge and
caused the man to leave the park. On the
other hand, aloud cl,imed an intimate
acquaintance with Mr.. Baldwin, who did
not attend the races yesterday. Loud's
statement was substantiated by q num-
Der OF onlookers who claimed an acauaint
ance with both parties. The expulsion
created no end Of talk during the re.
mainder Of the AFTERNOON.
The present meeting at Narrapansett
Park will probably close July IL, al.
though there is bare possibility that IT
will be extended five or six days beyond
thatIdate.

The Paris Did We'll.

NEW YORK, July 6.-There was sharp
brush In mid-ocean Tuesday between thu
.Cunarder .Lucania and the American
liner Paris, which tested both boats in Il
light sea. The Lucania has double tho
Paris horse power but in heavy weather
the weaker liner has always managed to
forge ahead. 1t was early In the day when
the two boats came in sight. When thu
Paris discovered the Lucania astern, pillars
OF smoke piled from her stacks. For q
time the broad patch of deep sea between
the two did not lessen. When the two
finally came abreast at 2 p. m. it was nip
ana tuck for several knots. But the Brit.
ish boat drew ahead. Late last night the
lights of the Paris were lost astern Even
the officers of the, Lucania expressed sur.
prise at the speed made by the Paris.

The prices paid for 1900 candle power

Philadelphia, $l77; Boston, 1887, and San
