ali the miserable exhibitions of bat

the prize. With three raen on bases
and only one man out Bob Short crops
the bali over to the pitcher and d rum
ner was forced at the plate. That still
left three on bases. but Sullivan few
out to right field There was chance
here for Short to get IN one of his
long flies, but it seems that when a
long one is needed from this player he
prefers tic bunt the ball and WhelaA q
hunt or sacrifice is needed he bats up
a nv for the fielder. He certainly Is
not doing anything with the stick
these days and his helding is not above
par. es51
There was another chance when
Waterbury should have scored but
Slater was held on third, only to be
forced out at the home plate. 1t was
very poor Judgment on someone's part
at that stage of the game. All this
happened in the eighth inning. In
the ninth we had one more chance to
tie and perhaps win the game. Clancy
got his base on DR. Reislings error at
first. The doctor had taken Hardes-
tvs place on this corner at the begin
ming of that inning as Hardesty was
taken i'll. Herman and IeAndrews
were equal to the task demanded of
them for they hammered out o couple
OF two sackers. Slater, however,
could only get one to second and Fitz-
patrick, the last man up, flew out to
center. Several times during the
game Mylett at short 1iipped what
looked like safe hits and took them
away out of his territory.
Hartford scored one run in the first
inning on a single by Hardesty and
a double by TRULY after two men were
out. She made another in the third
on a single by Mylett, q sacrifice hit
by McCallister and very bad tumble
by Charley Clancy. Two more came
her way in the sixth on single by Mil
Ter, force hit by Edmundson, who
forced Hardesty at the plate, and q
cofking triple by Morrison.
Waterbury did not score until the
eighth. Big Walker was on the slab
for the first time in this city ana he
had lots of sport with our stickers. In
the eighth after Herman had been re-
tired from short to first, McAndrews
hit safely and he was followed by
Slater and Fitzpatrick with pretty
singles. Croughan banged one to
TRULY and that worthy let it get away
from him and yet out of all that
trouble for Walker but one man came
across the plate. In the ninth we
made two when Clancy got his base on
an error and Herman and McAndrews
banged out those two baggers. The
score and summary:

New Haven, Aug 13.-Harry Cald-
well defeated Joe Nelson with ease
in the ten mile motor paced race at
the Coliseum track last night, winning
in straight heats. Nelson's pace was
not fast enough for him. In a hair
raising pursuit race Schlee and Hol-
lister defeated Stander and Ernest af-
fer riding hard for eight miles. The
half mile handicap was a runaway for
the limit men, Schlee captured every
thing in the five mile open, taking
first place and the lap prize as well.

EDWARD COMPLIMENTS BoERs.

 Bravery

London. June 13. king Edward had a special court at Buckingham palace today for the re- ception Of addresses from the lord mayor, Sir Joseph Dimsaale. and the corporation and from the London County Council. congratu- lating his majesty on the restoration of peace The King took occasion to express his sentl- ments on the subject more fully than hereto fore. and the tactful recognition which he made of the sterling qualities of the Boers win doubtless materially aid in the work of ap- basement in South Africa.
 His majesty. surrounded by the household. room, and replying to the lord mayors ad- dress he said:
 T thank you in my own name and in the queens for your loyal and dutiful address and the congratuation sent on the close of tho South African war I heartily join your ex- pression of thankfulness to the Almighty God for the termination of the struggle which. while the seas so many sacrifices. borne with ad- mirabe fortitude, has secured a result which will give increased unity and strength to my empire. The cordial and spontaneous exertions in all parts of my domains have done much to bring about this happy result
 You give fitting expression to the admira- tion universally felt for the valor and en- been engaged in fighting their country's bat ties They have been opposed by a braye and determined people. and had to encounter unexampled difficulties. These difficulties were cheerfully overcome oy ste adv and DOT sistent effort. and those who were cur oppo- nents wiir now, rejoice to think. 6ecome our friends.

REWARD IN RELAYS.
How Carolina Foxes Fooled Both
 Men and Dogs.

Raleigh (N. CD Correspondence of The
 Richmond, Vao Times.
 Here is true story, showing that the fox can reason ani act accordingly:
 Capt. John B. Eaves, chairman of the Republican State Committee; J. C.. l.. Harris, Secretary of the Committed; Rob ert W. Logan, United States Commission CT, and J. D. Mile. were one epring morning chasing a fox. It was a cool. crisp morning, and there was just enough dampness on the leaves and grass to en- able the dogs to scent Reynard without making a break. The chase had beer go- ing on for two hours and more. and the forty dogs in the pack had been making the welkin ring. The fox was running around in a circle not over three miles across, and the hunters at sunrise had assembled on d knoll about the center of the circle which overlooked the ter ritory which Reynard had appeared to have circumscribed for himself in his jaunt with the dogs. The music of the dogs was inspiring. and the race was per- feet in almost every feature that goes to make this sport the most delightful. The knoll overlooked ravine about one hundred yards distant from where the hunters had taken their stand. Across the ravine giant and venerable chestnut tree had fallen, and time and the ele- ments had caused the bark to drop from the tree. Miller was the leader of the hunters. and. while standing on the knoll, he saw the fox come into sight with the dogs four or i've hundred yards behind nlm. The FOX ran straight tO the chestnut tree and disappeared therein. Up to this time 1t was not known that the log was hollow. The length of the chestnut across the ravine as about sey- entv-five feet. As quick as the fox could have travelled through the log he came out on the opposite side of the ravine and made off through the forest. The dogs ran to the log and there lost the trail, The unters watched them for few min utes. and then Miller called them across tho ravine, and put them on the trail, and away they went in full cry after the fox.
 In about thirty minutes the fox came In sight again, with his tail up and snow Ing no signs of weariness. The dogs were somewhat further behind than be- fore. The hunters watched the fox, and again he ran into the log and out on the opposite .side. The dogs halted again. and were put on the trail by Miller. The fox was gone about thirty minutes. again came back and again ran through the log. This wAs the third time the fox had gone through the log, and Miller remarked that every time he came out of the log he looked as If he had been rested. and was fresh for the race. The dogs were bee oming wearied. The chase had been going on for nearl; five hours, and, after the fox made his fourth. entrance into and exit from the chestnut log. Miil;r went to the end of the log. where the fox came out each time and securely stopped it up In dbou: thirty ninIt aS the fox ran into the log the fifth time. Miller then stopped up the other end of the log and extracted therefrom three full-groWn foxes.

Rumors that a number of the employees had met death tn the burning factory, proved to be er- roneous. All have been accounted for:
 There were many sensational and mar row escapes most of the 400 men and women employed in the factory saving their liNs by leaping from the windows into the nets held by firemcn.
 Katie Scheidell, aged 15 years, was car- ried down ladder by a policeman. She was badly burned and her condition Is reported as serious. Others severely in- jurcd are: George Herbert, back injured; John Snyder. shoulder dislocated and leg fractured; August Schoeler, leg frac- tured. Samuel Trankerman, burned about body.
 Several others including 8 police ser- geant and two fremen, sustained severe decorations and were overcome by heat and shock
 The fire caused panic among the en- ployes, especially those on upper floors and for a time the widest excitement prevailed.
