Yesterday Mr.. James Wilson, who
was for many years president OF the
Bellaire Steel Company, prior to its
absorption by the National last spring.
returned from a three months trip
abroad Mr. Wilson divided his time
between Ireland, England, Scotland and
France, visiting the larger cities OF
each and frequenting the places which
usually claim the attention of the tour
list. He also stopped for some weeks
at Anthem, his birth place, fourteen
miles northwest of Belfast, where he
yet has brother and three sisters liv-
ing. He had not set foot upon the spot
for fifty-four years, and there was moth
ing about the town or the people that
was recognizable by Mr.. Wilson. While
travelling in southern Ireland fifty-five
miles of the journey was made in a
primitive stage coach. The old COM
partment railroad coaches are still in
use in England, and Mr.. Wilson says
the Briton recognizes the fact that
America will build the locomotives and
the cars for English roads in the future,
unless more enterprise is shown by
the home manufacturers. The macada-
mixed roads of Ireland are, however, a
wonder in themselves, and far surpass
any met with elsewhere On the Emer-
aid Isle and in England American
machinery is seen upon every hand.
Plows, mowers, binders and the hand
implements almost invariably bear the
trade mark of American manufacturers.

English market tina: agriculture has,
in measure, been abandoned, and
large tracts have been turned to pas
ture land. In France, however, the
conditions are different Agriculture
is carried on there with great care, and
it appears to be fourishing, although
primitive means are yet in use,
Through the 140 miles of rural district
traversed in that country in the height
of the hay harvest not single moving
machine was seen, the scythe still per-
forming it's wonted duty.
Said Mr. Wilson: Manufacture is
experiencing quite as remarkable a
boom in England as it is in the United
States, and prices have advanced Won
derfully since January l. The product
of English mills goes principally to the
colonies and is consumed at home, the
American market hardly being counted
factor any more, as pig iron, steel
rails and machinery from the United
States is crowding the English trade
right under the smoke of Birmingham
and Sheffield. Tin plate is also about
as high there as it IL here. The candid
Englishman admits American competi-
tion is a grievous thing, and that he
must change his tactics if he preserves
the home market for the home labor"
Among the places of interest visited
in Ireland was the lakes of Killarney,
which, Mr.. Wilson says, are disappoint-
ing, except for the gorgeous floral
growth which clusters upon the banks.
At Ayr, in Scotland, the home Of Rob-
ert Burns was seen just as it was in
the days of the past, except that a
slate roof has taken the place of the
thatch. Kate Alloway, the Brig OF
Doom and the tavern where Tam
O'Shanter and Sonter Johnny had their
cup were some of the places which nat
urally afforded lively interest, as well
as London, Glasgow, Paris Dublin and
Belfast.
Mr.. Wilson says the friendliness Of
Englishmen in discussing late war sub
jects was noticeable. but when the con-
versation reverts to industrial compe-
tition Johnny Bull assumes sterner
attitude.

The victory of the home club OH the
previous day served to attract better
than ordinary attendance at the ball
park yesterday afternoon. The spec
tators saw one of the scrappiest and
most exciting contests OF the season.
The result was in doubt until the last
local player had been retired in the
ninth Inning, after Wheeling had
failed in desperate effort to tie the
score
Guese, Fort Wayne's crack twirler,
was hit rather freely, but he was cool
and effective at critical times, particu-
darly in the last inning, when safe
hit might have won the game for the
home club. Pastorius was hit hard,
but he kept the safe ones scattered in
buch a manner as to hold the score
down to the minimum.
The game was enlivened by frequent
wordy battles, in all of which pebble
jack Glasscock was a central figure.
1t was one of Jacks scrappy days.
He is a foxy captain, and it is alto
gether likely that when he succeeded
in getting an exhibition Of temper from
Pastorius 1t was with a view to send
ing him up in the air. Glasscock also
carried on a free-for-all argument with
the boys on the end of the bleachers.
The Wheeling players seemed deter
mined to make it busy day for Pop
Lytle, their former captain and man
ager. They drove the sphere out into
his garden repeatedly, but Pop" got
under six of them, and in addition
managed to drive out two safe ones
himself. In the seventh inning Lyons
sent hit out to Lytle's territory, and
before Pop" got back into his position
after fielding the ball in, Billy Niles
drove it out again, and it got lost
under the fence. Pop" dug for it
while Billy was sprinting around the
bags, and did not find it until the cir
cult of the bases had been made. 1t
was a good two-bagger, and a very
lucky homer.
Dobbs was the first man up in the
ninth, and few out. The players bat
ted down the lst until o'Hara was
reached before the side was retired but
managed to score but one run, two
men being left on bases.
Fort Wayne took good lead in the
first three innings, and Wheeling tied
the score in the fourth. Then the Wis
itors added more and Wheeling was all
in, in SO far as chance for winning
was concerned. This afternoon the
clubs will play the rubber" and the
home players are determined to win.
"Jakie" Wells will probably pitch, and
If Reiman opposes him the chances are
largely in favor of Wheeling, as the
local players usually take kindly to
Reiman's delivery. 1t is possible, how
ever, that the big fellows, ICY" Swain
mad Bones" Parvin, may again do the
twirling for their respective teams.
The game will be the last for week,
as the club will play Toledo and Mans
field before returning for home Sc
