INTERNATIONAL CRICKET
United States Team Has Easy Time
With the Canadians.

Determined to ayenge the defeats inflicted
upon them in the last four years, the crick-
eters of Canada began their annual strug-
gle with the team representing the United
states at Philadelphia yesterday. The game
was played on the grounds of the German
town Cricket Club. at Mannheim where a
fair sized crowd gathered in anticipation
of seeing well contested game.
The Canadians, however found the bowl
ing of ]. B. King a problem most difficult
to solve. and they were bowled over by his
deadly curves like ntnepins. H. B. Nc
Giverin, who hit hard for 23 was the only
man who made any stand whatever and at
one time five wickets had fallen for runs.
while the total amounted to only 49,
AS the wicket was a trif1e soft, the Cana
dians expected that the United States team
would also find run getting a difficult mat
ter, and when J. B. King and G. c. Morris
faced their attack 1t was expected that their
downfall would be sudden. The pair how
ever, resisted all efforts to dislodge them
until the Canadian total had been pa ssed
King kept up the good work until he was
SO. at which point he had to retire on a
catch to Edwards. He was missed by Nc
Gverin off the latter's bowling, when he
had scored 80, otherwise his innings were
free from error. c. c. Morris, In the com
pany of H. A. Haines, continued to score
was credited with 73 made without q
chance.
A. M. Wood then helped Haines to nIav
out the remainder of time, the scoring hav-
ing advanced to 11S for two wickets when
stumps were drawn for the day

A dispatch from Willemstad. Island Of

1t has been learned here from Puerto

that date was not an important one and
only the vanguard Of the revolutionary

yesterday a serious battle commenced in
the vicinity of Tlraqulla between about
4,ooO revolutionists, under the command Of
Gehs. Mendoza, Batalla and Riera and
government troops to the number of about

communication have been cut The result
of this engagement will doubtless have a
decided effect upon the fate of the Matos

Gen. Matos is located at Altagracia de

Connor (2:03A) and Darrell (2:O5A) to beat

were driven by A. P. Mcdonald, and made
fast time to the stretch, where Darrell broke.
The time for the mile was 2:1O.
The 2:11 pace and the 2:10 class trot fur
nished rare sport and exciting finishes. In
the former Onatao contested every inch of
the way down the homestretch IN both heats
with Dan Riley. The latter won only by
hard driving on the part of Hudson. In
the 2:1O trot Wentworth, the favorite, was
distanced in the first heat. Waubun and
Louise Mac fought hard for first place, be-

For the first time In many years Washing

THE WEIGHT OF EGGS.
During Incubation 1T Should Be stud
led and Regulated with Palms.
taking Care.

The following directions are issued
by the West Virginia experiment sta
ton for finding the loss in weight of
eggs during incubation:
after placing the eggs upon the
trays ready for the incubator, set the
trays upon pair of scales reading to
ounces and note the total weight of
the eggs and trays. (The trays should
be thoroughly dry.) After few days
weigh again. Subtract this from the
first weight. This will give the actual
loss in the weight of the eggs.
Example.-Suppose that you have
20S eggs on the trays; that the first
weight with trays is "a pounds 2
ounces, and that on the sixth day the
weight is % pounds 6 ounces. Then
the loss in weight is - ounces. Now
look in the table for the loss in weight
of 100 eggs for six days. This is 10
ounces. Ten ounces multiplied by 2.OS
gives 2O.8 ounces, which is the calcu-
lated loss for 208 eggs for six days.
Therefore the eggs have not been los
ing weight as rapidly as they should,
and the eggs should be given more
ventilation or the incubator should be
removed to a drier location ct is as
sumed that the eggs are kept uniform
ly at the proper temperature.) After
the eggs have been tested for the in
fertile ones, weigh again and proceed
as before.
Rules.-If the eggs have lost too
much weight, give more moisture, or
less ventilation, but in reducing venti-
lation great care should be used, as
pure air in the egg chamber is abso-
lutely necessary. If the eggs have not
lost enough weight, open the venti-
lators, or place the incubator in a
drier place. The table shows normal
loss in weight of 100 eggs in ounces for
the first 10 days of Incubation:
