MAJOR CL1RK SERENADED.
Foot Guard and Second Regiment Band
DO Him Honor.

In the light of hundreds of Chinese
lanterns, blazing red fire and Roman
| candles and on the splendid grounds of
the Clark residence on Whitney avenue,
| Major e. M. Clark, newly elected as the
head of the Foot Guards, stood and re-
celved the handclasps and congratula-
tions of his friends in the company last
evening Although the demonstration
was nothing more than a serenade and
expression of good fellowship to mark
the high regard of the company for Ma
jor Clark, to casual observer it looked
more like some splendid fete Originat-
Ing in the busy brain of Leader F'ichtl
of the Second regiment band and by him
communicated to Captain Mcintyre of
the Foot Guards the little impromptu
affair grew into one of the most enjoya-
BILE of the kind imaginable.
The pleasantest part of it all was the
complete surprise of the recipient when,
upon his return to his home in company
with Colonel John G. Healy and Cap
tain Bostwick, after a day spent in New
York, he found his friends in complete
possession of the place. Nobly had his
two friends done the duty placed upon
them in keeping from him a knowledge
of the affair, and when he first saw the
premises all alight and surrounded by
gaping crowd of outsiders Major Clark
was at a loss to find words to express
his astonishment His arrival was re-
ceived with cheers, which took some
time to subside. He was then formally
introduced to those present by Colonel
Healy. Major Clark expressed in few
brief but happy words his surprise and
pleasure at their presence, and then at
the close of his remarks stood while
those present came up one by one and
grasped his hand. Captain Mcintyre
and Colonel Healy then appeared escort
ing Mrs. Clark, and introduced her to
the company. Following the introduce
tion, Captain Townshend, one of the old
est members of the company and of the
Grays, on behalf of the Foot Guards |
presented her with magnificent bou
quet of roses. Mrs. Clark replied in "a
neat little speech of thanks for the hon
or done her and her husband and ended |
by extending to all the hospitality of the |
grounds. From that on until nearly 10 |
o'clock the evening was most enjoya-
BILE one, Refreshments were also serv-
I'd out under the trees on the back lawn,
while Mr.. Perkins of the Foot Guards
the company with his mon
)logue selections. Seated on the porch
with Mrs. Clark were Mrs. Friend E.
Brooks, Mrs l.. II. Robinson, Mrs. f. l.

DETROT7rS STREET R.irLROIDS,
Plan for Municipal Ownership Proba-
bly, Given Final Quietus

Detroit, Mich, July 1S.-Municipal
ownership of Detroit's street railroads
under the plan lately agitated was Civ
en- what is believed to be a final quietus
by the common council tonight. A re-
consideration Of the security" ordi-
nance was ordered by unanimous viva
voce vote of the aldermen. Then fur
ther consideration of the ordinance was
indefinitely postponed This is the
franchise which was passed at the last
council meeting under very. exciting cir
cumstances, President Beamer charging
that some of the aldermen who voted for
it were improperly influenced in its ia
vor. The Security" franchise was des-
ignated and asked for as security for the
bonds with which the Detroit Munici-
pal Railway company purposed pur-
chasing the railway from their present
owners. 1t provides for six for a quar-
ter fares practically for forty-five
years. The so-called working ordi-
nance under which the Detroit Munich
pal Railway company proposed to OPP
crate was also indefinitely laid on the
table to-day by the committee which
had 1t under consideration.

TOIKSR4AD ADOPTS REFORMS.
Seven Years Franchise Proposition hp-
proved-Krugcr'sA Advice Taken.

Pretoria, July 1S.-The Volksraad, in
secret session to-day, ultimately adopt
ed the seven-years' franchise PROPOSE
ton.
The Volksraad resumed the discussion
of the franchise bill at it's session to-
day. The trend of the debate favored
seven years retrospective and prospec-
tive franchise. Replying to a question,
President Kruger reviewed the Bloem-
fontein conference, and said that the
proposals of Sir Alfred Miner, governor
of Cape Colony and British high COM
missioner of South Africa, were too
wide, but that alteration from nine to
seven years was only slight difference;
and for reasons of honesty and right
eousness he (Kruger) recommended the
alteration, which would meet the Eng
lish objections The country, he added,
would not be endangered thereby, but
would gain the applause OF the world.

YALE CHAMPION LOSES.
ID efeated by Ncel in the Western Tennis
Tournament.

Chicago, July 18.-Carr Neel defeated
Allen of Yale in the finals in singles in
the western tennis tournament to-day
and will tomorrow meet Keigh Collins
for the championship Neel is looked
upon as almost sure winner in the
game with Collins, as the latter has not
this year been putting up any such
game as Neel has played throughout
the tournament. The game between
Neel and Allen to-day was long and
hard fought, some of the sets running
up to 10 and IA before winner was
shown. Allen played desperately, but
Neel put up the same steady careful
game that has carried him to victory
so many times, and Allen, although he
made a good showing at all times, did
not look like a winner at any time.
Score: Final, singles, winner to meet
Collins for the championship: Neel beat
Allen, GA, Ga, 2-6, 6-3.

EYcnfa.

London, July 18.--Messrs. Jackson,
Wendell, Morrison and Brooks of the
international university advisory COM
mittee held a final meeting at the
to complete arrangements and decide
upon the order of Saturdays events in
the athletic contests between Yale and
Harvard and oxford and Cambridge.
1t was agreed that the programme
should open at p. m. with the long
jump and hammer throwing concur
rently, closing with the three-mile run
and high jump. The question as to the
number of trials to be allowed in the

on both sides is three tries at each bar.

tries Information gathered at al the
training quarters gives promise of close
contests, and especially for the 100
yards hurdles, the quarter mile run and
the long jump. The question of select
ing mate for c. D. DAILY (Harvard)
for the long jump will be decided be-
tween J. T. Harrington and Roche

am (Cambridge) in the three-mile race.

Wins the 81, 900 Pace.

Detroit, July 1S.-Shade On, little
five-year-old bay horse from Nebraska.
won first money to-day in the $4,000
Chamber of Commerce pacing stake.
The Nebraska horse was not heavily
played by the crowd with the exception
of the western contingent, who had
banked on him against the field. Shade
On did not equal his record of 2:10 made
last week at Peoria, but he showed good
staying qualities through four exciting
heats. Coney, the well backed favorite,
made splendid appearance on tho
track and kept near the front all
through the race, except in the second
heat. Then he went up in the air badly
when passing Shade On, although he
had led the field easily for three quar-
ters of a mile During the scoring for
the heat he reeled and collided with
Fire Gilt, a second favorite, overturning
both sulkies, but the horses and drivers
injury. Coney was very easy
winner of the first heat and but for
Shade On's squirt and Coney's nervous
ness the second would have been SIM
ilar procession. Maud Emperor made a
strong play for the third heat, but she
broke in the home stretch during Il rush
by Shade on Carmeite and Coney
who finished in that order. Shade On
was whipped all the way down the
stretch in the last heat. Coney had led
nearly all the mile, but Shade On got
under the wire barely neck ahead of
the California gelding. Driver Kay was
presented with an immense bouquet
which he carried off past crowd of g.
900 cheering spectators.
Surpol, the favorite, won the PA trot
in straight heats, although Altoka. in
the second heat, gave the gray the clos
est neck and neck struggle of the day
for the entire mile. Ellert made two
splendid spurts and got third money.
The 2:09 pace and 2:17 trot were two in
three events. In the 2:09 pace William
Nc got two heats without trouble, Kitty
r., the favorite being third. Hazel
Ridge, a Michigan horse, won first and
third heats of the 2:17 trot, but was
beaten in the second by Derby Lass |
Who was whipped to a close finish. The
lay was fine and the Crosse Point track |
vas in superb condition for the first
me after a dreary succession of rainy |
lays The crowd was one of the larg- |
,st ever seen at the Blue Ribbon.
