CONNERSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 3.-The
Connersville team did not go to Anderson
Sunday on account OF the receipt of a tele-
gram from the Anderson manager not to
come. On Monday another telegram Of
similar import was received. The two
games thus knocked out should be given
ID Connersville as they were ready TO go
and play them. consequently the local club
should be credited with four games won
and one lost. the one lost was forfeited to
Anderson. We beat Rushville two games
on Friday and Saturday. The reason OF
the game being postponed to-day with An
derson was because they refused to pay
only agreeing to pay expenses.

Ben Elder Redeemed Himself.

NEW YORK, Aug. "A better day than
to-day could not have been desired for rae
ing at Brighton Beach. The air was clear
and cool and the track was fast and the
attendance was very large for Monday.
The card was not remarkably attractive,
but 1t furnished some good finishes. The
best race of the day was the fourth, i'm
which Ben Elder attempted to give weight
to all the Others in the race and had to
make a race better thar had been ever
before run over the track to win by a short
head from Dutch Skater. AT the fall of the
flag Chugnut went OFT to make the pace
followed by Volley and Dutch Skater,
while Ben Elder and Mirage brought up
the rear. They went the first furlong in
thirteen seconds and with a rush the quar-
ter was passed in % seconds; 12ia seconds
more brought them to the t~hree-furlong
pole and then O'Leary went up with Dutch
Skater. He ran alongside Of the five-fur-
long pole, running the half in 81 and the
extra furlong in 1904. A little more urg-
ing and with a big burst of speed LISA was
the record to the three quarters, with
Dutch Skater two lengths in front of Chug-
nut, who had had enough, n Ben Elder
was coming in. They reached the seven
furlong mark in l:2s1z and swung into the
stretch with Dutch Skater still two lengths
in front of Ben Elder and the boy looking
back. Simms was working like a demon
on Ben Elder at the mile, which was run at
.1:411s. and he was slowly gaining on the
leader. Foot by foot he cut down the lead
of Dutch Skater and as they flashed past
the wire Ben Eder was a head in front i'm
I:541s. The crowd rose and yelled at the
g~aiheness of the three-year-old, who ran a
remarkably fine race. The finish In the
fifth race was a fine one. for 1t looked like
a head victory for Meadowthrop. when
Clayton came with a hard drive on Trage-
dian on the outside. while Slow Poke
passed him on the rail, leaving him in the
third place. the favorite winning by a
length and a half. The other two races
went to heavily backed second choices.
Cromwell was the best of a lot of dogs in
the first race and won very easily at odds
on. In the second race Belle Dick won in
a drive by a head from a lot of ordinary
cattle, and i'm the third race there was a
hard drive between Crimea and Kenre-
bunk. the finish being in that order. Tn
last race was for maiden two-year-old
fllies and was won by the favorite, ely

Badly Bruised In a Runaway.

Hiram Shearer and wife, of Plain
township, came to the city, Tuesday, to
do some shopping, and hitohed their
horse in front of Sohario's grocery in
North Market street. After transacting
their business they were about to start
for home, and Mr.. Shearer united his
horse, while Mrs. Shearer entered the
carriage. The animal became frightened
ana suddenly started to run. Mr. Shearer
clung to line and drove the horse onto
the pavement in front OF the Martin block.
The carriage upset as 1t struck the curb
and Mrs. Shearer, who is large, portly
woman, was thrown out and severely
bruised. DIR. Shilling was called, but
his services were not required. The
buggy was considerably broken and Mr..
Schairo kindly offered them his carriage,
whiohw as aoopeted, and the old couple
again started for home rather the worse
for the unfortunate incident.

THE ALABAMA ELECTION

The first gun in the campaign will be
fred on next Monday in Alabama. There
are six states that will hold state elections
before November. They are: Alabama
on August 8, Vermont September Ar
kansas September z, Maine September IA,
Florida October 8, and Georgia October 4.
Political observers are likely to take more
than the usual interest in the early elect
ions, which take place this year In six
states. New party alignments are natur-
ally resulting from the peculiar issues of
this campaign, and how the "new deal''
will affect these six states, with their
well-solidifed political affiliations, is a
question the answer to which will throw
considerable light on the progress of the
campaign.
The contest in Alabama will be
watched with unusual interest. She was
the first state to hold her Democratic state
convention this year, and she led the pro-
cession for free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. After Alabam,- mad declared her-
self on the issue the other Southern states
fell into line so that at the Chicago con-
vention the South was practically solid
for the white metal. She will speak on
the question on Monday, and the returns
will indicate which way the political
wind is veering. Following is the vote
OF the state since 1888:
