BIG GOLF TOURNAMENT.
The 112 Contestants VIII start al
Lake Forest To-Day.

CHICAGO, July promptly at 1880
o'clock tomorrow morning Walter McKitt-
rick, of the ST. Louis Country Club, and
Phelps e. Hoyt, of the Glenview Golf and
Polo Club, will tee off in the first quail
flying round of the fifth annual tournament
of the United States Golf Association, which
takes place the Onwentsia Club course
at Lake Forest. They will be followed
every four minutes by other pairs until all
of the one hundred and twelve contestants
for the honor of amateur golf champion
have been started on the first round Of
the 1S-hole course. The tournament bids
fair to excel in point of interest
all previous contests. Beautiful golf
ing weather has prevailed all
week and the Eastern experts, who
have been practicing at Onwentsia, are
enthusiastic in their praise of the course.
The greens are soft and velvety, in splendid
condition, as shown by the scores made by
the golfers during the past two or three
days. A hard shower fell this afternoon
but this will improve the course and condi-
tons tomorrow. Much speculation Is
already heard as TO the probable winner
of the coveted championship, now held by
Findlay 8. Douglass, of the Fairfield Golf
Club. Douglass has been at OnWentsia Tor
unquestionably in splendid form. Several
times he has gone over the course in 50.
or five less than Bogey. and has played con.
sistent golf throughout. Walter Smith, OF
Onwentsia, John Reid, jr.. of st. andrews,
w. 7. Travis. of Oakland, j. A. Tying, of
Morris county, c. b. Mcdonald, OF Chicago;
and d. r. Forgan. of Onwentsia, have all
been playing in good form. William Hola-
bird, jr, of the Glenview Club Chicago, a
fifteen-year old boy, may prove a surprise;
He has beaten with ease many OF the local
contestants and IL he plays the golf DUR
ing the tournament he has in practice he
will undoubtedly give good account or
himself. As to the chance or western
player carrying off the honors or a native
American golfer breaking the line of Scotch
successes scored by Mcdonald, Whigham
and Douglass opinion Is divided. Douglass
is. however. the favorite at present.

LOUISVILLE. KY, July Indianapolis
won an easy exhibition game of ball from
Louisville this afternoon. The Colonies de-
feat was due principally to the effective
pitching of Kelum. He held the big leagucrs
down to five little hits and at no stage
of the contest did Louisville have any
chance TO win. About 5000 people saw the
performance. The game was a sleepy con-
test. exhibition games usually are. Most
OF the Louisville players acted as If they
vere sorry they had been called on to play.
The only life of the game was exhibited by
Shorty HartZell, who was sold to In
d!anapolis short time ago. He coached
from the outfield and tried to guy his old
comrades with little effect Young Brashear
did the twirling for Louisville and pitched
only fairly well, being liberal with his free
passes to first. Wagner was the only
Colonel who could find Kellum with any de-
gree of safety. Flynn did the best batting
for his side. drawing three hits out of three
times at bat. There were no sensational
fielding plays. Hogriever led off with a hit
i'm the first inning. Hartzell got his base
on balls and both were advanced by Motz' S
sacrifice. Mcfarland waited for four bad
balls filling the bases. F1ynns base on
balls forced Hogriever home and Hartzell
scored on Stewards hit past Wagner.
Hickey and Heydon went out in the last
half. Croft singled, was advanced by Hoy
and came home on Wagner's two-bagger.
After Hogriever had gone out in the fifth,
Hartzell got his base on balls and scored
on MOTIFS double to center. Mcfarland and
Flynn followed with singles. but Mcfarland
was caught at the plate and Stewart
grounder retired the side. In the ninth,
Heydon, the first Hoosier up. laced out a
clean home-run drive to center, the ball
rolling under the clubhouse. Kellum, Hog
riever and Hartzell made easy outs. Wag-
ner hit in the last half but was unable to

The recent sale of the South Carolina &

The History of the First Locomotive in
America says the directors of the South
Carolina railroad ARE not only entitled to
the credit OF having had built for their rail-
road and run upon it the first locomotive
built I'm the United States for the practical
use OF their road. but they are also entitled
to- the credit of being the pioneers in hav-
ing their railroad-the first not only in
America but the first in the world-con-
structed from the very beginning for the use
OF locomotive power.

TONNAGE IS INCREASING
OVER $4,000 LOADED CARS HANDLED
AT INDIANAPOLIS LAST WEEK.
Interesting Scrap of Railroad Hi,story
Paying Commissions I'm Full
Enect-GeneraI Notes.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis In
the week ending July / total of 2S,1D
cars, 22,O97 being loaded, 3l3 more
loaded cars than were handled at
this point in the week ending June
"A. $500 more than I'm the correspond
ing week of 1898, 7,14S more than in 1897,
6.5l2 more than in 1885, 1.4A more than in
1895. and 1855 more than in 1894. The large
decrease shown for the corresponding week
OF 1855 was due TO the Debs strike. From
the above comparisons IL is evident that In
dianapolis lines are doing from q to 81 per
cent more business than at the correspond
ing period OF any previous year. and the
calls for cars the last few days make it
evident that for weeks to come the Indian
apolis roads will be taxed TO their full
equipment capacity, all roads seem to be
sharing in the general prosperity, the i'm
proyement the last week being the most
marked with east-and-west lines. Eastward
shipments OF grain are steadily increasing.
while there is no falling on in other classes
OF east-bound freight. West-bound the ton
mage of both high and low class freights
is heavy beyond all precedent A consider
able quantity of the west-bound shipments
is for the Southwest and transcontinentaI
the Vandalia and the Big Four lines had
all their freight power in use and 1t will be
noticed that the Monon and Indiana, De-
catur & Western show a large increase in
business for roads so dependent on local
traffic. Last month there was handled at
the city freight depots and on the bulk
tracks much the largest business of any
June in the history of the Indianapolis
lines. The business of the stockyards, the
packing houses. the -four and cerealine mills
was large. while the business of the iron in
dustries eclipsed all former records. Com
mission merchants are doing fulsy one-third
more business than at the corresponding pc
Rod of last year. Material for street i'm
provements form an important item in re-
ceipts. AS for some time past, the traffic
moving is more varied than at any time in
years. including nearly every article classi-
ned. Coal traffic is light, so many OF the
manufacturers having returned to using
natural gas for fuel. Merchants are shar-
ing seemingly in the prosperity with manu-
facturers. Below Is given the car move
ment for the week ending July 1. and for
the corresponding weeks of 1897 and 1893

A very laxative man, from of whose

the English language, whether he knows
it's meaning or not was the subject of a
villainous plot on the part of certain al
legged friends the other day. They realized
that he was man of many words and
small education, and they decided TO add
TO his vocabulary. One Of them dropped
the word .'paleontology" several times,
and the talkative man picked up his ears
and began TO fidget. Pretty soon he be-
gan to speak of ''paleontology'' in glowing
terms showing thereby that he aid not

water or a new name for ham sandwich.

used the expression. You used the word

Improvement. Costing $4,000, 900.

improvements costing $3J,OOO,OOO.
The receivership of the Baltimore &
Ohio, which has just come to a close, was
remarkable in many ways. Messrs. Cowen
and Murray did not follow precedent, but
went ahead and placed the property in first
class shape instead Of attempting to MAIN
tain it in the condition that they found it.
OF course the receivers were upheld by a
majority of the security holders and the
court, but the Baltimore & Ohio receiver
ship marked an epoch in such affairs that
will be historical. The vast sums expended
were put out in 1896 and 1897 when trade
was at a low ebb and money was scarce.
During their administration the receivers
purchased 1850 box cars. 675 wooden gon-
cellaneous freight cars, postal. express and
dining car equipment at a total cost of
$17.ooo0Oo. The 216 locomotives cost nearly
two and one-half millions The steel rail
purchased amounted to 123010 tons. costing
81. 142.15 and there were bought over 3. 00O,
900 crossties costing 81 100000, and 10000 GU
bic yards or ballast, amounting to 900.
The new steel bridges aggregated in value
$4,000 and fully much more was spent
in improving the several terminals erecting
new buildings. reducing grades and chang
ing the alignment. The maintenance of
way payrolls on the amount paid directly to
men employed in making improvements on
the tracks, etc., in three years was nearly
81. O0c 600.
The total amounts to about SIS. 600 O00 of
which ABOUT Sl5UO.WO was secured by the
issuance of receivers certificates and the
balance through car trusts, earnings from
the property and from the reorganization
managers. Most of the purchases of equip
ment and rali were made when material was
low in price and manufacturing concerns
were In great need of orders to keep their
plants In operation. Steel rails are worth
now from S. TO 50 a ton more than when
the receivers made their purchases, and To-
comotives have advanced from 81 900 to 49,
in price. The equipment alone, If purchased
TODAY would cost A. Osl 000 more and the
other Improvements 81 .o000o0 more. Presi-
