connected with the turf this year.
1t will be nothing else than race be-
tween a crack English horse, owned by an
English man, ridden by an English jock
ey, born and bred and an American horse
owned by and American and ridden by an
American Jockey
The English horse will be Mr.. L. New

Cannon up. The horse which will strive
to uphold the honor Of America on the
English turf will be Mr.. John A. brakes
flyer Royal Flush. with young Lester
Reiff as the rider. The details OF this most
interesting event have just been settled.
First of all. the Hurst Turf Club over
whose course the race will be run have
offered magnificent gold cup, worth 800
guineas Cs2500). The owners have each
agreed to put up an additional 500 guineas
to go TO the winner.

CROSSED WIRES.
Caused a Slight Fire and Some
Excitement In the Banigan
Building This Morning,

The alarm from box IA, at lo:30 this
morning was for a fire in the Banisan
building.
The cause was the crossing of tele-
phone, telegraph and other wires, in a
conduit leading from the basement up
the corridor walls of the east corner of
the building, and while mo great money
damage was done, much inconvenience
was occasioned to the tenants, for many
lost for the nonce electric service hard
to dispense with, even for an hour.
A cloud of smoke poured out of the
conduit on the first floor above the base
ment, and ascending the elevator wells,
caused quite commotion among the &C.
cupants of the offices in the upper
stories.
Those who felt It unsafe TO remain in
the building were brought down in the
elevators and quickly mingled with the
large crowd of sightseers.
A single stream of water. played for
few seconds. extinguished the flames.

Although defeating Holy Cross Satur-
day by the score of Is to o., Brown show
ed herself to be stratlingly weak on de-
fensive play. Time and time again the
light Holy Cross backs were able to pune
ture the line at almost any point. and to
circle the ends at WILL meeting with no
resistance until tackled by the backs.
Browns ends played a very poor game.
There is certainly room for a decided i'm
provement. Archie slocum will probably
be out this week and he is the one man
who can play end TO the satisfaction of

Ball and Khnball in the second half was
a feature of the game, and indicates that
Brown will not suffer for lack Of substi-

Bates did the bulk of work FOR Brown,
Bates by some terrific line plunges and
Barry and Washburn by fast end run

Barry has fallen In 10 the habit OF run

ahead and being tackled. This is a very
bad fault and he should eliminate IL be-

1t is very evident that Brown will have

whether she will be able to withstand the

time can tell. Holy Cross while very
