The matinee races OF the Providence
Driving association at Narragansett
Park yesterday afternoon served to at
tract a large number OF spectators. who
were amply repaid for any discomfort
they may have incurred owing to the ex-
cessive heat. by the fine list Of events on

the horses entered drove their own
steeds and professional drivers were. con-
spicuous only by their absence.

minute poll. a match race. a named race
and slow race, was run of without de.
lay. thereby adding much 10 the interest

mile. as was all the subsequent ones with
the exception OF the slow race, was cap
tured by Black Patchen. Contrary TO ex-
pectation Phebeon w come up strong In
the following heats and won out without
difficulty.

STAMPING or THE CLUBS.


PROVIDENCE 9-s, ROtiESIES o-@.
Buckenberger's nine vocal artists from
the city of Rochester endeavored In a per-
suasive manner TO talk their way 10
victory in both of the contests with Muir
rays workers In base ballology at Ade-
laide park yesterday afternoon. but the
locals disdaining TO pose in the limelight
and throwing oratory 10 the breezes, went
in and played ball and succeeded In CIV
ing the rowdies a decisive beating In both
games.
Twenty-eight hundred devotees of the
sport were on hand with the expectancy
OF seeing some fast and snappy ball and
that they were not disappointed goes
without saying.
Rochester, always a hgiiting aggrega-
tion. fully sustained its reputation, par
ticularly Bean and O'Hagan. and they
kept pegging away at umpire SILK
OLoughlin with a running fire OF small
talk and slurring remarks which even
that patient individual could no longer
stand. and in the opening inning OF the
second game he gagged O'Hagan with
s. fine and quickly Informed Buckenber-
ger that he could view the contest
through a knot-hole unless his eloquence
was curtailed.
Providence all the while was hitting
the ball with refreshing vigor. and quietly
gaining an overwhelming lead, and when
the rowdies started I'm to play the game
IL was too late and they went down with
distinct thud. Frank Corridor was on
the slab for Providence, while McPartlin
essayed to perplex the Grays with his
hitherto mysterious shoots. Rochester
went out rather quickly. but the locals did
some expert club swinging and when the
dust had cleared Providence was four
runs TO the good. Five good singles and
n pretty sacrifice were responsible for the
lead. and the crowd grew confident
double and an error added one more I'm
the second; hit a sacrifice. a steal and
q putout another In the next. and a sacri-
flee a double. two steals and an error
swelled the total to nine I'm the sixth. This
was all that Providence made and was all
that was necessary.
Rochester did not score until the third
when a fusilade OF hits netted two runs
One more was eked out In the sixth and
two I'm the ninth after two hands were
out. o'Hagan popped up fly TO Cass-
dy, and Gray grounded out to Crisham
20 Corridor Smith then reached first on
Sullivan's wild throw and he continued
10 third while Crisham was chasing the
sphere. Phelps then hit another easy one
at Sullivan and Sutor proceeded to make
his second bungle. O'Hagan scoring I'm
the meantime. Dixon who went TO bat
in place OF McPartlin then drove the third
one az Sutor which he picked up clean and
tossed N To Cassidy for the third out but
10 the surprise and amusement OF the
spectators Pete dropped the ball and all
were safe. Lush drove out n double and
Phelps scored, Dixon scampering 10 third
Bean ended the agony with weak
grounder 10 Crisham and the trick was
off. The score:

MAJOR TAYLOR RIDES AND WINS

The feature Of the races at the Spring
field Coliseum tast night was the riding
OF Maj" Taylor. lie appeared in the
half-mile professional race only. and won
by a magnificent squirt.
In the finals he was matched against
w. S. Fem. Neither rider started for
fully half minutel after the pistol had
been fired, each wanting the other TO take
the lead. For the first lap they went at
a snails pace Then Fem took the lead
and held II until the last quarter OF the
last lap when Taylor doubled up over the
handle bars and went by him like black
cyclone.
Taylor was used up after this race and
was excused from the two-mile handicap
event His fines of s4O0. imposed by the
N. G. A, were remitted on condition that
he ride in all future meets.

'Batted for McPartlin in ninth inning.
SECOND GAME.

The second game was repetition OF
the first inasmuch as Providence won I'm
exactly the same manner as the opening
struggle. Timely hitting. fast work on
the bases and McCauley's beautiful
throwing were the main factors In the
victory and served 20 bring Providence
within n stones throw of second place.
Dunkle went in for the locals. while Me-
larkey officiated for Rochester. MoCau-
ley took Leahy's place. Phelps went I'm
for the second time behind the bat and
caught his second good game. Only six
innings were played as the rapidly in
creasing darkness made II almost i'm
possible to see the ball.
Rochester scored twice I'm the first but
could not get a man across In the sue
ceeding innings. Providence went the
Rowdies one better IN the first on Wal
ters and Stafford's hits and Cassidys
three hagger which bounded over Bar
clay's head Another was registered In

game and the Rochester team went of
the field In a disconsolate frame OF mind.

go to the advantage Of the Grays. Syra-

CHIPS FROM The DIAMOND.

Corridor was hit hard yesterday but
McPartln was hit more timely.
Yesterdays crowd was the largest OF
the season. over 500 ladies were In the
stand and they seemed to appreciate the
spirited playing.
SILK OLoaghlin was clean mad at o.
Hagan yesterday and that vocal celebrity
continued to talk necessarily throughout
the first game, but in the second struggle
50 fine curbed his inclination TO talk
Manager Buckenberger also said things
but threat To remove him from the
bench closed him up tighter than a Bos-
ton barroom after III o'clock

O'Hagan IS the most unpopular ball
player I'm the Eastern league and the
bleachers got after him in great shape
yesterday.
Stafford's home run, although oppor-
tune, came very near being a foul IL

Pete Cassidy Is now the most timel,s
hitter on the team and can be relied

Corridor has been winning games with
more regularity than any other pitcher
on the team.
Andrew Freedman says that If he could

would certainly make a vigorous official.

As to Cuba.

From what members OF Congress
say, who have been in Cuba since the
adjournment of Congress, as well as
from other information from trust
worthy sources, President Mckinley is
expressing confidence that things po-
litical in the island are slowly working
in the right direction.
Representative Hamilton of Michi-
gan, one of these visiting statesmen,
says of his observations: 81 am of the
opinion that the Platt amendments
will ultimately be accepted by the Gu
bans, and that there will be no trouble
between Cuba and the United States.
There is no mistaking the feeling of
the people, however, for independence.
Their hearts are set on it and you hear
it talked everywhere. If difficulties
arise it will be because the people are
easily Influenced by their leaders, and
small factions or parties can attract
large followings of impulsive, impet-
uous people, if the right man is at the
head. l think the people can be con-
WINGED in time that the Plat amend
ments do not hamper their independ-
ence aud that our decla rations therein
contained are only in line with the
Monroe doctrine, as understood by all
the world"
If there is ultimately trouble in Cuba
the seditious newspapers and other
malcontents here at home will be pri-
marily responsible.

Senatorial PrerOgatiYe

Twenty years ago, almost to the
month, two New York Senators re-
signed their seats by way of protest
against the appointment to federal Of
fee of man of their State distasteful
to them. They claimed under sena-
torial prerogative the right to dictate
against if not for appointments from
their own State. Recently one OF the
two, again Senator, has protested
against the appointment of citizen of
his State personally Objectionable to
him. But history will not repeat itself
in the way of resignation from the Sen
ate. Senator Platt, in the spring of
1881, resigned from the Senate because
President Garfield appointed Robertson
collector of the port of New York. Col.
Sanger has just been appointed as
sistant secretary of war. The case was
not quite parallel President McKin-
ley had the argument that an assistant
secretary was in sense personal Sc
lection of the administration, and that
the senatorial prerogative did not
operate as it might in the case of an APP
pointment to federal Office within the
State. President Mckinley also exer-
cised his diplomacy in sending for the
New York Senators, and pleasantly,
but firmly, arguing the point with them
before he made the appointment.
There is another difference, which SEN
atcr Plat put well, when he said: 81
am growing old. Idon't feel so much
like fighting as l did. l make my pro-
test to what do not like, and then sub
nit"
