very proud Of it.

No"
Mr.. Rayner questioned Admiral
nvans at some length concerning the
signals as displayed on the coast near
Clenfuegos which the admiral said the
officer of the deck had told him had
been seen on May End and 2Srd. but
the witness said that he had had no
conversation with Admiral Schley,
about these lights, and had made no
report to him of their appearance or
significance.
Mr. Mr.. Rayner then changed the
base of his explanation from Cienfue-
gos to Santiago, and began by asking
Admiral Evans if he had seen the Off
cial chart showing the positions of the
Brooklyn and other battleships on the
day of the battle, off Santiago, July
3rd, 1898 The admiral replied that he
had seen the chart but that it was
wrong.

It was gala night for the bowlers.


Two winter tournaments were inau-
gurated. One started without any
flourish, the other with a gTeat/spec-
tacular display. The Wheeling league
boys cut high jinks, and the enthusi-
asm displayed on the opening night
bids well for the success Of the tourna-
ment. 1t was the SWEETEST opening in
the local history of the game, anu ,hs
devotees may well feel proud of it.
At eight o'clock the boys rolled up
in open carriages at the place Of rem

tive teams. All the boys carried red
FIRE, and while they went over the line

bowlers who viewed the procession
from the sidewalks Justify shouted
their approval and all in all, it was a
night long to be remembered by the
tossers Of the legnum vital spheres.
The parade formed at Twenty sixth
and Chapllne streets, and consisted of
twenty-eight finely decorated open
carriages which lined up as follows

that it was the Brooklyn and not the
Texas that made the turn?"
Il never imagined anything of the
sort"
Give briefly the purport Of your
conversation on that date with Com
modore Schley."
Briefly, as l recollect the conversa-
ton, ne was talking to person named
Graham. He was sitting at his desk
writing, l walked into his cabin to
make report. He put his hand on
my shoulder and said Bobby, l am
just writing my report of the battle of
the 3rd of july He said: I have
said of you that you handled your ship
with consummate skill Then he in
troduced me to Mr.. Graham. Then
Captain Cook came in and asked me if
| would tell him whether the position
o. certain Spanish ships was correct,
which came out first, etc, that he had
been little confused in his mind We
talked few minutes and l then went
into Captain Cooks cabin"
you do not recolect the converse
ton, going over the particulars of the
turn that the Brooklyn made, and the
remark that Commodore Schley made
at that time about Captain Philip when
you said you thought it was Captain
Philip of the Texas who made the
turn"
81 never said that. Absolutely nev-
er said such a thing, because the Texas
was right under my eye all the time.
She never turned at all"
Concerning the position of the
Brooklyn and the Texas on the day of
the battle, the witness said:
