Derby needs some ginger.
 Jack Lawlor was not with the team yesterday.
 The Consolidated base ball team of this city will be the attraction at Will liInantic Saturday afternoon, August 24
 Pete Kiernan played his old position at third for the Derby team and took the only two chances he had. He made one hit
 Lindermann has the earmarks of a good pitcher and he mixed them up in good shape. He is a little off i'll bat ting but if he does good work in the box that is all that is needed.
 Matthews broke or bent one of his fingers in the middle of the game yes terday but continued to catch. He has lots of grit and it would be too bad just now to take away our only re maining catcher.
 Let us hope that the boys will not trouble Manager Harrington for the rest of the season It is good betting though that they will be looking at the games from the rear fence or crawl ing in under or over it for the next few games. One boys day is enough for the fans.
 They are after Dougherty. New York wants him and the Boston Amer ican league would take him if they could. He will certainly go into one of the big teams. but will finish out the season with Manager O'Rourke.
 As an extra attraction at Newfield park, Bridgeport, this afternoon there will be a 100 yards foot race between Dougherty and >Lawlor. Both are sprinters of renown and the contest will be an exciting one. The race will take place previous to the commence ment of the game with Derby.
 The New York club has signed an- other pitching wonder" His name is Utica club of the New York State league. It is said he has won twenty two out of twenty-six games played this year and is phenomenal batter"
 Frank Murphy, the outfielder, who has been playing so successfully with the Boston National league club, has signed New York contract. Murphy originally. played with the Fordham college team and there attracted atten- tion as a member of the West New York Field clubs team of Weehawken. He played in New Haven and was sold to Boston, but the pay never came. President N. E. Young recently. decid- ed that the Boston club had no right to Murphy's services and that he belong ed to the Cincinnati club.

Hartford. Aug 21.-Apparently it would have been Harry Caldwell's race at the Veledrome bicycle track last night only for the breakdown of his pacing motors. He was scheduled to go against Frank J. Caldwell of this city, who has recently emerged from the amateur to the professional ranks With an unbroken record of victories in the middle distance events. The race was to have been in ten mile heats, best two in three. The first heat was close and exciting, and Cald- we'll the New Hampshire giant. led at the finish by less than lap. The time was 16:52 4-5. In the second heat Caldwell was leading by more than a lap in the ninth mile. when his pacing motor broke down. Caldwell won the heat
 This gave the men one heat Napiece. The race could not be finished because both of Caldwell's motors were broken. The time of the second heat was IT minutes II seconds.
 Calvin of Hartford and Edwards of Brockton defeated Davis and Sage of Hartford in an amateur tandem pur- suit race, the distance being one mile. one lap and ninety yards. Time, 2 minutes 8S seconds.
 The one mile amateur handicap was won by Ben Comber of Elmwo0d 14O yards. Oscar piggs of Hartford was second. Time, 2 minutes 4 seconds

s'LATIN" AND "sA-xON." ]"

 They Are Convenient Expressions, But
 Not to Be Taken Literallyss
 Our contemporaries of the Havana press have of late, been discussing the question of the existence of a really s.Latin" race, matter one would think sufficiently settled by modern ethnolo- gists. The term Latin race" also Anglo Saxon,' is a mere matter of convenience History shows us that Italy as we'll as Spain were, in ages gone, invaded, and in reality overflow ed by fair-complexioned northerners; in Spain they ruled for centuries and left indelible traces in the language. Italy also knew their power. In both the countries mentioned fair-haired and blue-eyed people, descendants of those adventurous and warlike Ger manic people are found to this day. Some of the most beautiful women of Spain are. Without doubt, true "daugh- ters of the Goths."
 France is no more Latin than Eng land where the Romans held dominion and left traces of their blood. France is largely, especially ill the north and cetner, a non-Latin nation.
 As for ..Anglo-Saxon,' it is a con- yenient expression, no more nor less. There are undeniable traces of south ern blood in that great blend known as the English people. and recent ethno- logist claims that they are largely of Mediterranean race. Another ethnolo- ;C4 l,oe ,sc,J,- to be, of all unlikely things, Mongo- Han. It is convenient to classify France, Italy, Spain and Potugal as. Latin" nations; their language, which made more or less effective resistance to the Germanic influence, enables the classification to hold conventionally good. But the fact remains that the peoples of western Europe are to a great extent of mixed race. And so it follows that one finds among Mexicans of white blood many people of dis tinctly northern type, and among Amer jeans men who are of pronounced Latin east.
 The dark-eyed brilliant brunettes found often in New York Baltimore, St Louis and New Orleans, have a strain of the blood of the Mediterran  can peoples; their ancestors fixed type that has endured through the cen turies. So here in Mexico when one finds a Mexican woman with fair hair and blue or gray eyes we may be sure that the old Goths are still giving evi- dence of their long. stay in Spain. Oc- casionally, among women of pure Span ish descent, one notes the beautiful ojos verdes, or green eyes, which the Arab poets sang of with enthusiasm.
 Spain still shows, especially ill the southern provinces, evidences of Moor ish blood, and in Mexico men as well as women of well-defined North Afri- can type are found, and the great, soft. melancholy eyes of the Moors charm and bewilder the gray-eyed American. To the discerning observer the streets Of this capital present. plenty of in teresting racial problems. Goth and Latin, Moor and ancient Iberian, meet one at every turn. And we may add that. if we admit the term Latin race,n there are resident { Americans with quite as much Latin blood as any native of this country.
 History and ethnoI6gy play havoc with all our conceptions of pure races. -MeXican Herald.

First Days Races at the Driving lark
 Attracts a Small Attendance.

Attracts a Small Attendance
 Two races were run off at the Driv- ing park yesterday at the opening of the four days meeting of the Water bury Driving club. There was only a small crowd present owing to the threatening weather. The track was soft and rather heavy but for all that there was some good time made and there were several close finishes. The heayiness of the track was also re- sponsible probably for the distancing of some of the entries ill the very first heats.
 There were seven entries for the first race. the three minute class for purse of $500. In the first heat Dick Weller and Caprice were distanced and in the second heat Glouchester W was outside the flag Mrs Brown. driven by her owner, took the. first heat handily but after that trotted in second each time. Andantino was the leader in the other heats. The judges were suspicious that something was wrong about Mrs Brown and before the last heat warn ed the. driver and owner, MT James, that he might be taken out of the sulky and another driver substituted. He gave the excuse that the track was heavy and his mare could not go on such a track. At any rate he came in second again and Andantino took the race.
 In the 2:34 pace class, there were five starters but when the first heat was over there were but two for three were distanced. St Riga and Merry Master were left to fight it out and St Riga proved the winner. Each of the heats was closely fought by the two horses.
 The judges were W. F. Bush of New burgh, N. T.. who acted as starter, E. ". Pinney of Willimantic, and 0. c. Camp of this city.
 Tomorrow there will be some warm races and there will be greater crowds in attendance The races of yesterday were exciting enough for any lover of speed and all the entries are of the same calfbre The summaries.

Boston, Aug 21.-There were two events of interest to the crowd at the Revere cycle track last night, one the Michael-Stinson match, which the for mer rider won, and the other not down on the program, namely, race be- tween Stinson and the constables who were after him to serve papers for alleged breach of contract in not riding last night at the Worcester track. Stinson was kept out of sight of the officers until his match was called. Then he was pushed out on the track, got headway enough to prevent inter- ference and rode against Michael with a flying start. Immediately after the race Stinson was seized for legal ser vice in behalf of the Worcester man. agement.
 Michael had an easy time in the twenty-five mile event, due to Stinson losing his pace several times at the cost of from one to three laps. At the eighth mile Michael took the lead ny forcing Stinson so fast as. to really make him go by his motor tandems. At the finish Michael was six laps ahead. The other events were good.

TWENTY-ElGHT VICTIMS
This the Police Estimate Of City OF
Trenton Explosion.

trenton EXPLOSION.
Philadelphia. Sept. 2.-It Is now rea
sonably certain that at least rs per-
sons perished as result OF the ex-
plosion OF one of the boilers OF the
steamer City Of Trenton on the Della
ware river above this city on Wednes-
day afternoon. This conclusion Is
reached by the police authorities
through the fact that four more bodies
were recovered yesterday. making a
total OF 25 in all. Four persons are
still missing. and six lie at the morgue
awaiting Identification, but It is more
than probable that one OF those re-
ported missing is among that number.
Many OF the passengers. who escaped
injury, maintain that the City OF Tren-
ton, which was late when she left her
wharf In this city Wednesday, was
racing at her topmost speed, and that
II this had not been the case the acci-
dent would not have happened. This
is partly borne out by a statement said
to have been made by Assistant Engi-
neer John d. Chew. Chew told his
wife that he expected to be killed by
an explosion on the steamer as the
company made the engineers keep up
too high pressure OF steam.
