Since the practice match of a week
ago Saturday, interest in cricket has
increased largely and the Salt Lake

new members, who are expert cricket
ers. The leaders of the club assert that
il has been organized to play cricket
and not talk about it, and as much
active practice as possible will be taken
this fail in preparation for a big season
next wear.
The coming match with Ogden in this
city On the afternoon of Labor day is
exciting much interest. Little is known
of what stuff the Ogden men are made
of, but it is reported that they are all
old hands at the game and will make
the Salt Lakers hustle if they wish to
make a good showing With Davies,
Wilson. Robb, Jackson, Morris and
Burleigh, Salt Lake has an array of
bowlers that will be difficult to score
heavily on, and with such batsnen as
Hayward, Halsey, Wilson and Davies.
they ought to do well against any
bowlers Ogden may present
TOmorroW'S match will be largely for
the purpose of choosing the men to
this city against Ogden. and
another match will be played next Sat
urday, when final choice will be made.

The racing men have solv ed the
problem of the numerous punctures
they have been getting of late on the
Palace track. The crowds have been
in the habit of sliding down the track
into the arena after the races, and it
is discovered that the track has been
badly splintered in places. Severe
measures are to be taken against any
one who takes that method of coming
into the arena, and a few arrests will
probably teach the crowd a lesson.

WILL CEASE PAYMENTS.
General Brooke VIII Distribute Bal
ance Among Wounded Officers.

Havana, Aug. A.-General Brooke has
virtually decided not to make any pay

additional rolls. The first payments
brought to light such an amount of
thievery and attempted swindling that
he has ceased 10 consider the question of
distributing what is left of the $1,000 600
in supplementary payments The sum
now left in his hands he will probably

ment We're TO receive nothing.
Most of the Cuban officials agree with
the remark recently made by General
Gomez He said the $1,000 coo would prove
more harmful than helpful, and the work
of payment has revealed depths of de-
pravity that the best friends of Cuba had
not conceived cGald exist.

Libelous Reports.

Il was chagrined to think that people
living in this state would send such
false and libelous reports as they did
into the east. l was constantly asked
II they were true. And of them all it
was my pleasure to brand them false.
Remarks were made in the tabernacle
here concerning the enlistment of vol
unteers. but when those words reached
the east they were so distorted and mis-
construed that the speaker himself
would not have noticed any resem-
blance in what really was said.
Il have traversed this continent from
coast to coast during these spirited
times, but l never saw such patriotism
as that from these hills and wales in

Contest Begins.
{ Both Bean and Weday seemed in
good condition when the time for the
first round was called. Bean missed a
right swing at the head and Weday
landed light right swing. Bean land
ed left hook on the face and missed a
right swing. They fiddled till the gong
sounded.
There was practically nothing done
during the second. Bean landed a light
right swing on the head, and Weday
missed, the round ending in a clinch
In the third both missed right swings
and Bean hooked a left to the face,
followed by right swing to the face
Then he missed left and right swings
Bean rushed and missing a left hook
to the face, Weday dropped to his
hands to avoid Bean.
AS the fourth opened Weday again
went down, touching his right hand on
the floor as Bean put a left hook to
the face. He seemed TO be drawing
Bean on to strike him when down and
thus win the contest on a foul. AS
both missed stiff left swings Weday
slipped TO the floor. AS he arose Bean
landed hard right swing on the head.
Again Weday went down to avoid Bean
as he landed a left swing. When he
arose Bean hooked to the head and re-
peated it twice. Weday would not
fight; he merely danced about and
clinched or went down every time.
Bean came at him strong.
Bean Fouls Weday.
In the fifth Bean hooked Weday in
the groin and he was cautioned by the
referee. He was doing all the leading
and Weday didn't seem to try to do
anything. Bean put a left hook on the
face and Weday missed a right swing
to the head. Bean sent another left
hook to the face.
Again in the sixth Bean struck
Weday low, with seeming elaboration.
Bean fell in a clinch and remained
down eight seconds. The referee told
him to get up and he did SO.
In the seventh Bean put hard right
swing to the head ard Weday again
dropped to his hands. Bean put a left
swing to the head, followed by a stiff
left jab. They clinched and separated
Bean led a left hook tosthe body, strik-
ing Weday in the groin again. Weday
bent over as If in pain. The referee
sent the two men to their corners and
declared it no contest and the bets off.

Steiner after the match. "One man
was trying to foul and the other want
