GRANGE of mingled perfumes was in the
air. Young and old Of all national
tiles Joined in celebrating the natal
day of the Queen who has ruled so
long and so well. There was a notice
able feeling of unanimity and good

warmly clasped.

under 1t, the shamrock. thistle and
rose. A large portrait of the venera-
BILE Queen hung over the entrance Of
the gentlemens dressing room. The
coats of arms of the various English
colonies were equally divided on each
side. On the platform was a large de-
sign showing two clasped hands, and

Sea"
The attendance was large and rep
resentative. There were many elegant
costumes among the ladies, for which
an appropriate background was formed

THE Base BALL
Fair Exhibition for Open
ing of the Season.
Stars and Soldiers Play on League ,Crounds-
Stars Win HandiIy = Some
Good Features

The exhibition base ball game be-
tween the Stars and Artillery yester-
day afternoon was won by the former
team by a score of 13 to s. Owing to
the minstrel show and the tennis finals
the attendance was small
The game was a good one when 1t is
taken into consideration that 1t was
the first of the season. Both teams
showed lack Of practice. but It was also
evident that there was an abundance of
good material. Jackson's work in the
box was superior to that of his OPP
ponent. He allowed eight hits. while
the Stars found Cravens for thirteen.
Germans work behind the bat was ex-
cellent, while that of Connely for the
Artillery was slightly ragged.
Both teams fielded well, there being
five double plays, of which the Stars
made two and the Artillery three. The
errors were principally made on hard
chances and were about evenly divided
The Stars made five and the Artillery
seven.
The showing on the whole made by
the two teams was enough to prove
! that exciting contests Will be the rule
of the season. The Stars feel that the
ARTILLERY men are worthy foemen and
the latter team realizes that Honolulu
| is not altogether off the base ball map.
When the doughty Kamehamehas get
started the result will be interesting.
Following is the score by innings:

Columbia Easily Bests the Challenger
in the Final Contest for
the Trophy.

New York, Oct. 21.-Through wild
and hoary seas, in q breeze that APP
preached the dignity Of gale, the gal
liant sloop Columbia on Friday van
pushed the British challenger Sham
rock by six minutes and is seconds, ac-
tual time, and six minutes and "a sec
onds, corrected time, thus completing
the series for the Americas cup with u
magnificent rough-weathcr duel and a
glorious Yankee victory. For the
eleventh time the attempt Of a foreign
er to wrest from America the yachting
supremacy of the world has failed. The
trophy won by the old schooner Amer
lea 4S years ago is still ours, mon
ument to the superiority of American
seamanship and American naval archi-
lecture and standing challenge to the
yachtsmen of all nations. 10 Sir Thomas
Upton, whose name is now added to the
list of defeated aspirants for the honor
of carrying the cup back across the At
lantic, failure was crushing blow. His
hope had been high, but. like the true
sportsman that he is, the sting of defeat
has left no bitterness. and with I'M
daunted courage he intmates that he
may be back with better boat to try
again. The boats have had two fair
and square races, one in light airs and
the other in heavy blow, and Sir Thorn
as is perfectly satisfied that he was
beaten by the better boat.

Admiral Dewey Follows Advice OF

Washington, Oct. 23.-Admiral Dew
ey, on the advice of his physician, has
cancelled the dates for his visits to
Philadelphia and Atlanta and will ac-
cept no moro invitations of this sort be-
fore next spring. The following official
statement Oh the subject was made at
his Office here Saturday:
"Acting on the advice of his physicians
Admiral Dewey finds that il will be ncccs-
sary TO cancel the engagements he has en-
tered into to visit certain cities and TO de-
cline all invitations for the present. lie
finds that the mental strain incident TO
such visits is seriously affecting his
health"
The Dewey house committee, which
had in charge the purchase Of a home
for the admiral from the moneys re-
ceived by popular subscription, has Sc
lected the house 1747 Rhode Island av-
enue, Northwest, known as the Fitch
house. The price of the house was $780,
600, but as the committee has only $48,-
900 on hand, Mr.. Fitch, the owner, con-
tributed that amount, necessary to
bring the sum up to $4,000. The. So
licitor of the treasury will examine the
title to-day and the purchase will be
made and the property turned over on
Tuesday. It, is a matter of interest to
note that the house selected finally was

scenting danger will nervously finger
the handle Of weapon. At last, sud.
denly coming to thick wood beside
the road, he gave an order to turn into
it, and, after gaining sufficient distance
from the road not to be readily seen
from it, we went into bivouac. Ven.
dettes were posted, and the men or.
dered to preserve silence, in the hope
that our enemy, who was doubtless at
our heels, might pass without observ.
ing us.
Worn with fatiguing days cam,

and, with dirt pile for pillow, was

my legs.
How long slept I never knew. 1t
seemed to me that had but just lost
myself when was awakened by shots
yells, every conceivable noise that
could be heard in a fight. I knew the
confederates were on us. Through the
gloom 1 caught glimpse of the gen.
eral already in the saddle riding among
our men, inspiring them with his pres
ence and gathering them together in
the best formation practicable under
surprise. Walter was with him, stick
ing to him like wax, though there was
no opportunity to use a staff officer,
while was separated from them by
some of our own men who were try
ing to get into line. pushed forward
but just then a troop of confederates
came galloping down, firing their re-
volvers as they came-they had no sa-
bers--and before could cover the
space which separated me from the
general they rode through it, scatter
ing the half-formed platoons before
them, making wedge that divided me
and number of others from the rest
of the command. Seeing number of
us cut off from our comrades, they sur.
rounded us, and at the point of hum
dred pistols our hands went up as if
we had been as many images worked by
wire springs.
Hurried to the rear, we waited the
result Of the attack. The fight kept
shifting, and I fancied that the gen.
eral had gathered what men he could
and was cutting his way out. My irri-
tation at finding myself hors de combat
at moment of greatest necessity was
intense. Whenever the firing would
rise to pandemonium pitch, would
emit. volley of responsive rasping
words for which sincerely hope l
have been forgiven. As the combat
ants kept receding, the noise grew
fainter and fainter. and at last died

BLOW TO A TRUST.
Illinois Supreme Court Renders an
Important Decision Against the
Glucose Combine.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct 2o.-The supreme
cision handed down Thursday evening,
forbids the transfer of the American
Glucose company's plant at Peoria to
the Glucose Sugar Refining company,
OF New Jersey, and declares the trust
agreement entered into with the lat
ter corporation to be illegal. This is
believed to be the first decision by any
court rendered in u case in which the
legal questions involved in the modern
trust have been presented fully and
passed on.
The supreme court holds that the
facts presented show that the combina-
ton to regulate and fix the price of glu-
cose and grape sugar and their prod
ucts and by-products was illegal, and
that he agreement not to manufacture
or sell within certain territory, cock
tensive with the corn belt, was in re-
straint of trade.
The case was one begun by George F..
Harding, of this city, and the Chi
cago Real Estate & Loan company, of
which lie is the president and owner,
and makes the American Glucose COM
pany the principal defendant. The
American Glucose company is one of
the six concerns which the trust alb
sorbcd, and the purpose of the litiga-
ton is TO prevent the sale Of the Ameri-
can Glucose company to the trust.
by the terms of the decree the trust
will lose property, including an extern
sive plant at Peoria, for which it paid
over $2,o00,o00, and the stock and prop
erty will revert to the original owners,
of whom the complainant is one.
Besides pronouncing against the le-
gality OF one OF the most powerful trade
organizations formed in recent years,
the decision will make it dangerous to
interests involved to form combinations
in, the future which have for their pur-
pose the absorption of sufficient num-
Der of concerns to control the output
of The product involved. 1t will also
place at the mercy of the law the many
combinations of capital and business
interests which have recently been
made, provided they are incorporated
