Results at Brighton.

Brighton Beach Race Track, Aug. TO-
The usual crowd OF reg ulars put in an ap-
pearance again today and made things
warm for the bOokies. as number OF out
siders won. The track was in perfect
condition. There were no stakes on the
program, but the racing was very inter
esting. One of Brigbton's old time sur
prises occurred in the third race. HaZlet
was made an odds Oh favorite and was the
only horse backed. The surprise was fur
pished by Bessie Abbott, 80 TO ekance.
She managed TO make dead heat with
Hazlet. The favorite should have won
easily, but Hill held back too long
and rode a very poor finish on the favorite.

1T WAS A SINGULAR PLAY.

In the fourth inning the birds secured
three runs, not one of them earned, and in
this inning, also, occurred one of the fun
niest plays ever seen on the local grounds.
Jennings was On third and Doyle on first
The latter started to steal, but was caught
in between bases. Then while some of the
Senators were engaged in playing tag
with Doyle, Jennings started for home, and,
with Il wild rush, the entire infieid sur
rounded him. Up and down the line he was
chased. until finally McJanes got the iiall,
and in his endeavor to get away from him
Jennings ran around Farrell, who was
standing in the third base line.
Jennings kept going around Farrell and
McJames kept following him like a dog
chasing rabbit around a tree, until finally
hcJameS realized that Jennings was out
for running out line and gave up the chase
Umpire Lynch kept tab on balls and
strikes and on the bases and did cz-
tremely well, there being but two very
slight kicks against his decisions.
In the earlier innings the fielding of the
two teams, and in fact the general work.
was quite good, but toward the latter of
the game the men seemed to become care.
less, but this applies to the Senators more
than to. the Orioles.
For the birds, Kelley, Bfodie and Reitz
did the best work in the field, while Lush
and O'Brien eXcelled for the Senators
In batting, Demont and Selbach were
the only two men able to do much with
Ponds curves. For the home club Jen-
nings, Doyle, ReitZ, Brodie and Pond
each got two hits apiece, while all the
others got one each. Six of the Orioles
fourteen hits were neatly dumped bunts,

Especial to The Times.)

Baltimore, Aug. 10.-Tbe eleventh game
OF the season between the Orioles and the
Senators was played yesterday afternoon
at Union Park and for the ninth time Bal
timore carried off the victory.
There was little to commend in the game
In the first place 1t was extremely dull
finished the spectators We're va awning and
many got up to go.
In the second place the ground was wet
and the grass damp and this precluded the
possibility OF brilliant playing. The in
tense heat OF the past week was but
slightly diminished by the showers of The
forenoon. Ii rained hard and steady, and
while il did not cool the air it thoroughly
soaked the grounds
In the early afternoon the sun came out
strong and dried the grounds sufficient to
allow the clubs to play. Old Sol, how
ever, did not dry the grounds perfectly
and all around the infield and back OF the
plate the ground was wet and slippery
the grass OF the diamond and outfield
still gave evidences OF the rain
The weather was close and sultry, Just
the kind of mixture 10 make one feel
sleepy, and certainly had that effect on
some or the players. Some very stupid
work was done. all OF which can tie ira ced
directly to the cgoseDess OF the atmosphere.
ORIOLES LED OFF.
The Orioles took the lead al the start
off and We're never beaded-in fact, al 10
time were the Senators dangerous.
DR.. Arlie Pond, who did the twiriny
for the birds, WAN master OF the situation

allowed the Senators but one hit, nd after
that, while he was hit harder he still
had the Washington men in his power

but that did not seem to affect him in the
least in the early rt OF the game, when he
twirled the sphere with all his oId-time
speed and cunning.
A long about the sixth inning the sultry
weather began 10 tell, and he perceptibly
weakened; then the senators went in, and
by good batting earned four runs, which
was all they could get.
McJames was selected by Manager
schmelz to do the pitching for the oppos-
ing team, and this young man, who has
been touted everywhere as the coming
wonder, was the veriest cherry-pe for the
local men, who secured hits off him in
each of the five innings he pitched. In
the latter inning they pounded him for
three earned runs. which resulted in Nor
ton going IN the box in the next inning,
with McAuley to catch, while in this in
ming, also, Abbey went to center field
in place of Brown, who W as slightly under
the weather as the result Of the oppressive
heat.

Academ y of Music tonight, did not CO me off
a Hall was arrested on d sheriff's war
rant for an unpaid board bill as he was en-
tering the Academy. About 500 people
were present and saw a few preliminary
bouts between local boxers OF no import
ance. When the news of Halls arrest
became known O'Donnell made stort
speech in which he said he had come to
fight but that under the circumstances this
was impossible. The spectators took their
disappointment pbilosophically and there
was no disturbance.

Six shrinking figures stood in the glim-
meriDg starlight at the bathing beach last
night and eagerly sought information as

amount of clothing Necessary for lawful
appearance on the highways. When they

their clothing gone and the language which
floated out On the still night air and was
waited over the Potomac flats is better
left uDrepeated. 1t was finally decided
that the regulation beach bathing suit
was not permissible for street wear, and
there were grave doubts expressed ls TO
the propriety OF barrels as walking .os-

large in the seat. They had become weary
of wearing the first attire of our first
parents, hailing the return of their friends
in need with shouts OF Joy and delight.
In some manner all were fitted out, more
or less ludicrously, but the late posers
gave DO heed to what they should wear;
they put on anything given them without
a murmur or objection and then betook
themselves TO the copsoling roofs of their
loving and protecting parents, who will
provide bath tubs, perhaps, for the needed
ablutions OF their offspring hereafter.

THE FINAL SCENES.
The Apostolic Benediction Ended the
Ceremony.

The Apostolic Benediction Ended the
Ceremony.
At the close of the mass Cardinal Glib
hons rose and said that he had the in
teresting announcement to make that
the Holy Father had cabled his con-
gratulations and that he had authorized
the speaker to pronounce the apostolic
benediction upon all those present.
At his request, Dr. Rocker read the
cablegram, which Cardinal Gibbons
said he wished particularly TO say was
spontaneous and not evoked by any sug-
gestion from this side of the Atlantic.
1t is as follows:
"TO His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop Of Baltimore:
"The extraordinary splendOr accom-
panying the comforting of the bereta
upon Cardinal Satolli, gratifies the Holy
Father beyond measure, and he asks
Your Eminence to express his satisfac-
ton. Furthermore, as a token Of his
deep appreciation, he empowers Your
Eminence to impart to all present at
the ceremony the apostolic benediction."
The Cardinal pronounced the benedic-
ton and the ceremony was ended.
