ING ATHLETES.
Defeat of Burke In the HaIf-mile
Event Is Attributed to His
Illness.

London, July 24.-All the morning
papers publish editorials expressing
congratulations upon the immense sue
cess of the athletic meeting at the
Queens clubs on Saturday and ex-
pressing the hope that it will not be the
last of such contests. All compliment
the members of the American team
upon their splendid performances.
Inc Daily Graphic thinks the climate
had something to do with the result:
1t is easy to believe the rumor that
illness was the cause of Harvards
record holder in the half-mile event
running far below his FORM
The Standard says: ANY hostility
which may have ever existed between
the two peoples has been owing to
their ignorance of each other. and moth
ing is better calculated to remove it
IMAM such meetings as that of Satur-
day Diplomacy and commerce create
Jealousles quite as often as they re-
move them. while nothing but good is
likely TO result from the social approx
lmatlon which is now springing up be-
tween those in whose hands will be the
Shaping of the Anglo Saxon race. We
trust the meeting may take firm root
as annual gatherings
The Daily Telegraph says: Both
countries ought to be proud of their
representatives. Such scenes are worth
gong miles to see, not solely for their
own sake, but for all they imply of
keen, brotherly competition between
two sects of the Anglo-Saxon race"
Dwelling on the defeat of the much
dreaded Burke, the Daily Telegraph
says 1t is only fair to admit that he
was by no means in good trim.

The Odd Fellows state excursion to
Saltair on last Wednesday proved one
of the most enjoyable outings at that
beautiful resort this season. Large
crowds were handled by the different
railroads from all parts of the state.
1t is pleasant to know that everybody
arrived home safely. The various sports
and amusements at the beach were car
ried out with clockwork regularity and
everybody agreed that the affair in
every particular was grand success.
One feature especially was commended:
The committee in charge presented to
every baby in the pavilion a sack full
of candy, which was highly appreciated
by the parents and babies.
Two of the three grand prizes given
to visitors have been claimed.
The holder of No. 1.32S winning the
first prize, SIS, is James Nelson, Salt

The winner of the second prize, $3.50.
is John Swanson, Bingham. who held

George Cole, who has been grave

their occupants as librarian knows

wooden headboards of most of them,

The general, in a white hat, was

when the discharge of rifle was heard
in the yard of house next to the road
Several soldiers rushed into the yard,
but not in time to prevent two more
shots, which came whizzing in the
direction of the general.
At this time 1 came to a break in the
hedge where 1 could see what was go

thirty yards off. He was turning this
way and that like en- animal at bay,
thoroughly frightened. He had a rifle
in his hand. 1t afterwards turned oeti
that his rifle was choked. The soldiers
were breaking down the high hedge to

run for life. He got through the hedge

field. Three shots followed, all of which
took effect. The wounded man turned.

the manner in which American and
Filipino soldiers die-the American
falls in a heap and dies hard; the Fill

dead is always found in some easy atti-
tude, generally with his head on his
arms. They die the way wild animal
dies-in just such a position as one
finds a deer or an antelope which one
has shot in the woods.

Nerve Was His Suite.


That there are more ways than one
to accomplish a thing if a man only
has the necessary nerve is illustrated
by the experience of young man. The
young man tells the story himself so
| there is no betrayal of confidence in

collars and cuffs and shirts at a Chi
nese laundry a night or two ago. some
articles in which he needed very much

from his pay day. and he was broke. -
Still. he had to have clean linen in
order to keep an important engage

Il didn't know what to do he said,
in relating the incident. Il felt sure
that the Chinaman wouldn't extend
credit to me, for it is a well known
thing that Chinese laundrymen never
trust. At last l hit upon scheme.
Going to my room, bundled up all the
soiled linen 1 possessed. Hurrying
around to the laundryman's, produced
the bundle.
'Sixty-fve cents he exclaimed.

coin.
Il picked up the clean linen. and.
depositing the bundle of soiled on his

Ogden. July 23.-Nine little boys in
blue came down from the great mining
camp of Park City today to wrest vic
tory from the Ogden baseball jugger-
maui and that they came near being
successful is evidenced by the score
II TO u.
The visitors started in with the de-
termination to make mince meat of
Beckwith, the local pitcher, but, while
they failed ANONYMOUSLY in that, they
were assisted nobly by the ogden field,
and at the end of the fourth inning the
score stood II to 3.
In the first half of the fifth, however
they We're retired runless and Ogden
came 10 bat. Henry famed and Casey
hit little one down the line and ''Old
Hoss" Hardness fumbled it, letting him
embrace the bag. Gimlin followed with
a three-bagger to right, scoring Casey.
Honest John then hit to second and was
thrown out at first. Beckwith hit to
right, scoring Gimlin. Here Kimbrough
seemed TO 60 to pieces and gave Selma
bel and Hopkins first on balls, while
McGregor made a hit to left scoring
Beckwith and Schnabel. Ferrin walked
to first and Henry famed again, retir-
ing the side.
In the sixth. the visitors secured an
other run, and in the last half of the
inning Hughey displaced Kimbrough in
the box and was touched up for two
hits and two runs, while the visitors
were again retired without a run. Fer
rim opened the seventh for Ogden with
a three Dagger. Henry flew out to left
and Casey followed with a hit to CEN,
ter Greenwich got to first on an error
of Edwards. Then Beckwith hit a long
three-bagger to left, clearing the bases.
Schnabel ran over first, turned the
wrong way and was put out Hopkins
attempted to purloin second and was
also cut off, retiring the side
The game was characterized by errors
in field work

throughout the cemetery have in turr
done duty as Potter's field.
Jonathan c.. Lawrence, who used tc
be one OF the wealthy citizens of old
Salt Lake. was buried in Potter's field
in 1877.
During his life he had known riches
and power. He ran the old Salt Lake
House, which used to be the best hos
telry in the territory along in the six
ties He staked too much on his enter
prise and lost it all. When his money
went. his friends went, too, and at his
| death no money was forthcoming to
pay the funeral expenses. so he was
given place in Potter'S field. The old
grave-digger remembers the circum-
stances well. There were only a few
close friends at the funeral, all of them
too poor to show their friendship in a
more substantial way.
Englishman's Son There.
In Potter's field there also lies the
body of young Preston, the son of a
wealthy Englishman. Mr.. Cole recalls
the circumstances of his burial. but
does not remember the young mans
first name. Young Preston'S story, as
far as can be gathered, was a romantic
and adventurous one He was driven
from home by his father and came to
America In this country his lot was
series of ups and downs. He came to
the west and after many and varied
turns of fortune died in this city and,
having no money or relatives here. he
was buried at the expense of the city
In the northern part of the cemetery
is a trench which contains the bodies
of a mother, her daughter and seven
sons. They We're all killed in a snow
slide which occurred in Big Cottonwood
canyon sixteen years ago. and were all
buried side by side. The mothers only
other son was at the time a boy of or
s years of age, and he has since wan
dered off into remote lands. A short
time ago, however, he came back on a
visit to Salt Lake and was shown the
grave of his family. He signified his
intention of erecting a monument over
them, so that at this late day they may
be properly honcred.
The notorious Ed Doyle, who murder
ed many men in his time, and who was
himself killed in fight by Jack Bea-
gen, was buried in Potter's field. He
had brother in the Grand Army, who,
a few years ago, was in the city and
who told Mr. Cole that he would put a
stone over his brothers grave. He
went away without doing it and has |
not been heard from since
