The CAROLS were slightly ahead all the
way through the second game and while
the match was well played and quite close
the home team played their smallest score
of the evening and made poor stern chase.
Both sides made small finish, and the
game was within the reach of the Associa-
ton, had strong finish been made. Eiker
bowled twenty EIGHT pins in this frame. but
the others did not sufficiently support him.

The battle for the American Whist League
trophy goes merrily along. the American
team Of Boston now having nineteens wins
to its credit, but one more being necessary
to entitle 1t to the coveted prize. Novem-
Der "a the Mount Bowdoin four Of Boston
proved to be the seventeenth victim, their
defeat being easy, the score % to Is in favor
OF the Americans. Last Saturday the New
York Whist Club defaulted, and the Knick-
erbockers OF the same city took up the
running and played hard to win, but the
Americans after a great uphill game won
out by the score of q to IA. The "Knicks"
played a strong and steady game through
out the match, which would have probably
carried them to victory against any other
eastern team.

Horsemen who have been wintering at
the old Gloucester race track preparing for
the opening of the Chesapeake Beach track
in Maryland are leaving, and yesterday
Dick Liddel the well-known owner of that
consistent performer, Belisarius, in the
palmy days of Gloucester, left with Merriam
Clare, DR.. Fannie, BoisterouS Pearl S ;,
Walter S. and Arganatus, a wo-year-od,
and Patrick Kavanaugh, with Corn Cob
and Stackelburg, left for the new track,
while Sam Hart will bring Sprite, Whip
ping, Elizabeth Moore, Brayman. and DR..
William Redfield will bring Jesstina in a
few days.
All the horses quartered in Gloucester
during the winter are in excellent condition
and should give good account of them
selves before the Maryland meeting has
been in operation very long Nearly 900
workmen and 100 horses and carts are
busily engaged in making the necessary eX-
cavations to the track. The racing, when
once inaugurated, will be continued all
winter, and if it proves to be paying
venture it will go on continuously, as there
bookmaking.
Already about 200 horses have arrived at
the new track from Chicago, St Louis. Gin
cnnati, Atlanta. New York and other rae
ing points, so it will thus be seen that
there will be no scarcity of horses when
the flag drops for the first time. There
will also be sufficient number of jockeys
on hand, as many have already signified
their Willingness to accept mounts at the
new track. Judging from the present out
look it will no doubt be the greatest place
for winter racing and the sporting fra
ternity since the days Of Gloucester and
Guttenburg.

that In any plan for the Improvement of
the Mall the ball ground between the monu-
ment and B street north be preserved as a
permanent place of recreation for the de-
voices of the game He suggests that the
city OF Chicago has done much to make
ideal ball grounds in its public parks, while
but little has been done In this city in
that respect. The development of the parks
as places of recreation for the young the
writer says will have a beneficial effect on
their habits generally, and keep many of
them out of the pool rooms. He thinks that
golf links should also be constructed about
the monument.

GOES MERRILY ON.
Fake Prosecutions of Jointists Are
Becoming Tiresome.

Mike Thompson was arrested again
last night on the charge of running a
joint at 40 Kansas avenue No liquor
was found on the place by the police
which fact was probably due to a know
ledge that the place was to be pulled -
Thompson has been arrested time after
time because the mayor insists that it
be done but a case has not been made
against him. 1t is time that this trif-
ling should stop. If the police depart
ment intends to continue its plan of
winking at the jointists the people ought
to know it and the hollow pretense
should be abandoned.
The joint business in Topeka and the
method by which they are not prosecu-
ted would make a splendid subject for a
comic opera This case will be dismiss
ed just as all other joint cases are dis
missed

his place in Ill East Sixth. His case is

Lord Salisbury Announces That He
Has No Word From China.

New York, July IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
When Lord Salisbury stated in the
house of lords that there was no news
whatever from Pekin the spectators
were painfully impressed with the
solemnity of his manner. This was a
small matter in comparison with the
ominous fact that the legations had
kept silence for nineteen days Mr..
Broderick explained in the house oil
commons that the wires were not work
ing between Shanghai and Che Foo,and
that the admirals could not communi-
cate with their governments. Shanghai
had virtually become the only center of
news and the northern provinces were
cut off.
Mr.. Broderick admitted that dis
patch purporting to come from the en-
peror of China had been received at the
foreign office and this was regarded as
an indirect confirmation of the correct
ness Of the version previously published
of the edict holding the European pow
ers partly responsible for the anarchy
at Pekin, since they had ordered the
bombardment of the Taku forts. There
is no ground for criticising the action
of the powers in this respect, but well
informed men here do not hesitate to
say that Vice Admiral SeymOur'S course
in marching from Tien Tsin to Pekin
with an inadequate force and insufh-
cient supplies was a fatal mistake
which excited the Chinese mobs and
brought on the catastrophe.
The news at midnight was meagre
and the situation was virtually un-
changed. Another day had passed with

ment. or whatever has taken it's place,

governments of Europe would be con-

for heavily increased armaments. Their
revenues from present taxation would not
be sufficient to maintain new war bur-
dens. Recourse would probably be had
to fresh government loans.

Gov. Stanley Proves UselesSness
of Contingent Fund.
Has Returned 81, 900 to Gen
eral Revenue Fund.
CAMPAIGN MATERIAL.
Republicans Will Make Capital
of the Fact.
To Be Published in an Economy
Pamphlet.
CAMPAIGN MATERIAL.

Governor Stanley has returned to the
general revenue fund of the state $4,000
which represents an unexpended bal
ance of his contingent fund.
During the fiscal year ending June 80,
the governor has expended $4,000 of the
contingent fund. Out of this he has
paid two stenographers and other eX-
penSes of that character not covered py
a specific appropria ton.
The Republican state committee Will
prepare a statement of the governor 3
record in the contingent fund expendl-
which will be issued While the mat
ter for this publication is not yet in
shape it is learned that this will be one
of the features of the pamphlet.
The comparison will be drawn be-
tween the record of Governor Leedy and
Governor Stanley
The contingent fund under Governor
Leedy's administration was $4,000 The
first year it was all expended and in the
last six months of the fiscal year which
Mr.. Leedy held office 200 of the $4,000
was expended, leaving Governor Star
ley $4,000 for the remaining six months
of the fiscal year.
Governor Stanley asked the legisla-
ture to reduce the appropriation from
IS, 900 to $4,000 for each of the years OF
his administration He abolished a po-
sition in his office and asked for an ap-
preparation from which he could pay
two stenographers. This comes from
the contingent fund.
The Republican state committee Off
cials believe that the governor has made
a wonderful record in this contingent
fund matter and he will receive proper
credit for it through the medium of
campaign literature penned by some of
his admirers.
The governor may ask the legislature
for reduced appropriation for contin-
gent purposes in his next message, that
is of course, if the people of the state
return him for another term. The gov
ernor has many reforms in mind which
he hopes to carry into effect through a
reelection of himself and the election of
a Republican legislature in November
