gregation let the mail carrier alone for a
few minutes.
The store was pretty well filled up with
villagers and farmers and everything con-
venient converted into a seat. The
counter evidenced its popularity by enter
tanning four able-bodied men: soap box or
two, five or six nail kegs, with the heads

Just then one of the men got slowly down
from the counter, and, still whiting at a

street and back.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, March 1S-
Rio de Janeiro is, next to BuenOs Ayres
the largest city of South America. 1t has
10000 inhabitants and Buenos Ayres claims
about 10000 more. Buenos Ayres is by far
the largest Spanish-speaking city of the
world. Rio de Janeiro is by far the largest
city in which every one speaks Portuguese.
1t has more people than all the cities of
Portugal combined, and the country 1t gov
ernS contains three times as many Portu-
guese as there are in Portugal itself. 1t is
the capital of Bfazil, the metropolis of half
the land and half the people of the South
American continent and the great financial
and industrial city of what is now the
greatest undeveloped industrial empire of
the world.
You Yankees go by the hundreds of thou
sands every year to Europe for strange
sights and beautiful scenes. You leap over
the Atlantic one after the other like flock
of sheep following their leader over a fence,
never turning aside to see if there are not
better pastures nor more agreeable fields.
The truth is, you can find more wonders in
a week in South America than in England
or on the continent in a month of Sundays.
Rio is one of the most picturesque cities
of the world. 1t lies on the most beautiful
bay of the world, at the foot Of great noun
tains, which rise like wall behind 1t, with
their tops in the clouds. These mountains
are covered with a tropical vegetation from
base to summit. They are of curious shapes,
one being a sugar loaf 1900 feet high, an
other a hunchback and others looking like
great forts and massive battlemerts L have
seen the bay of Naples and the Golden Horn
Of Constantinople, but the harbor of Ric
surpasses anything in the Mediterranean OF
along the Bosphorus, and, with the bright
colored buildings of Rio lying upon 1t, ris-
ing above its forests of masts, ii is the
most beautiful bay of the world. Shaped
like pear, it is a hundred miles in cir
cumference, and almost everywhere Ii Is
| more than sixty feet deep. All the ships
Of all the seas could anchor within ii and
have room to spare. 1t is spotted with
Islands, upon some of which great build
ings have been constructed, so that they
apparently float upon the water.
The city itself is full of strange things
The average traveller scared by the ghost
of the yellow fever comes into it with his
brain throbbing with quinine and the film
| of fear over his eyes. He walks through
| the streets with a smelling bottle and shoot:
| in and out of the town without knowing il.

his whip, bringing the blood from his nose
Myosotis, who finished second, was dis
qualified and Don Clarenco and Donation
were each moved up notch from the way
they finished. In the scales room after the
race Coley Thompson struck Jesse Mat

GAMES TO-DAY.
Pittsburg Mt Washington.
Boston at Louisville.
Philadelphia mt Cleveland.

The Senators did not play yesterday, but
are scheduled to meet the Pittsburgs at
National Park this afternoon and tomor-
row. Washington is in excellent trim and
every player feels confident of taking two
straight from the Pirates. Manager Wat
kins' resignation and the appointment of
Donovan in his stead has acted as an i'm
petus to the Pirates playing proclivities,
and already the beneficial effects of the
change are being noted. Manager Wat
kins was not popular with either the play
ers or the public and his resignation was
the result of dissensions which had sprung
up in the team.
Watkins ways were entirely too auto
cratic and dictatorial to please anyone,
and the drastic measures that he adopted
to enforce his orders were not relished by
the members of the team, and their re-
sentfulness was displayed in their refusal
to win games when they had the chance.
Not that any games were purposely lost,
but the men went about their work in
sullen humor especially those whose bank
accounts had suffered because they hap
pened TO displease the boss.
With the advent of Donovan, however
change came over the spirit of their
work. Tuesday they played Chicago a
close, hard game. but lost in the ninth by
an unfortunate tumble by Madison after
two men were out. Yesterday they
trounced the Orphans by a score of II to l.
The Pittsburg team contains some strong
young ball players, and with a manager
who is in sympathy with the men 1t viii
give good account of itself later in the
season.
The Senators seem TO have about reached
the end of their hard luck" row and are
prepared TO do battle with the best of the
League clubs. The item OF confidence,
which is great factor in winning games,
has added itself to their string OF victory
requisites, and the teams fielding strength
has been greatly increased by the rear
rangement of the in and outfield. The
Senators have not been hitting consecu-
lively, and this has been responsible for
many a defeat. Bonner seems to be the
particular individual for whom Manager
Irwin was seeking. and his trusty bat will
come in handy in many games.
The two games just played with Bos-
ton are ample evidence of the ability of
the Senators, and good crowd should be
at National Park to witness the contest
this afternoon.
