GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The weather was clear, bright and
most inviting at Sheepshead Bay yester-
day during the galloping hours. Ocean
breezes swept over the course all during
the morning. and the training hours
from weather point of view were
pleasant ones. The track. however, wore
different complexion. 1t had not re-
covered from the late rains, and was In
a muddy and most unpresenta5le shape,
and the equines had the worst of it as
against the trainers who guide their
PAGES. For the first time in several
days there Were 80 departures for Sara
tcga, but between now and Saturday
there will be great movement of rae
ers that will go to join the big con-
tingents that have already gone TO the
Spa.
The condition of the track affected the
speed of the racers to a great extent.
and although there were numbers OF
trials were, of course, prohibitive. II
was a Keeno day at the track, and
Trainer Rowe sent several of his
charges over the ground at as good
speed as the conditions would permit.
The book programs for the Saratoga
meeting have been issued. and from all
quarters comes approval. The added
money In some of the overnight races
is little low, STILL all considered, tho

DORYEE And MARI
EACH WIN A GAME
Interesting Contests for the
HOrstmann Mallet.
Duryee Handily Wins the First, But
Brilliant Work Gives Mari the Sec
ond-Will Play Again Tonight.

The series of rogue games for the
Horstmann niallet between Duryee ant
Marr, begun on Tuesday. was continued
with two games last night on the Hutch
inson Club courts. at Ninth Street and
Rhode Island Avenue, and the contests
were witnessed by a very large crowd
Each player won a game.
Duryee won the two games on The
opening night. and only needed two more
to win the trophy, but Mari was on his
nettle last night, and allowed Duryee
to win only one game. II was the best
set OF games rogue followers have wit
messed this season. and this evening S
deciding games should draw another
large crowd. Admission is free. and
the public Is invited to see the con-
tests. The courts are fitted with cleo
trio lights and are In splendid condi-
tion.
Duryee Wins First Game.
Duryee won the lag and placed MS
ball on the line and started off and
held the balls until he had scored 10
points, hanging in the eleventh arch,
which gave the balls to Marr. but re-
gained them when the latter failed on
his second arch on carom shot for
a single ball.
Duryee then ran his first ball to the
last arch, leaving Marr wired" be-
hind the second. The latter succeed
ed by playing the arch and against the
wire TO again capture the balls. which
he held until pJryec made another sue
cessful carom shot and finished the
game. The players stood: Duryee, 3
games won to Mari none.
Marr did not lose his nerve, but
coolly started in for the fourth game.
Duryee again won the honor on the
lag and took the balls. He kept them
safe until he had one ball for the
eleventh arch. which he failed to make.
leaving Mars playing ball only foot
away.
Mar Plays Splendidly.
This gave Marr the balls and he
nursed them carefully until with one
ball he had made IL out of a possible 10
points in single run and had made
one arch with his partner ball. After
making this he set the balls up. wiring
his opponents ball at the upper end of
court. Duryee responded by making
a splendid Jump shot" and secured the
balls. Then he got one ball into the
second arch of the center wicket com
ing home" and upon Marr's failure to
secure the balls ran his partner ball to
center and made double center" Then
he ran his ball a rover" from the
and setting up the balls gave
Marr only a carom shot, OF which the
latter failed to take advantage.
Duryee then ran his other ball from
the fifth to the eleventh arch, and again
failed to make this point, and allowed
Mari difficult corner carom. which he
very cleverly made.
Having the balls. Marr handled them
splepdidly until he had only three
arches to make in order to finish his
game Then. wiring Duryee. he set up
the balls. leaving his opponent carom
en- two balls only about foot apart.
The latter came within an inch or two

Duryee Missed Easy Shot.

This time Duryee succeeded in getting
the balls on a single carom from the
cage" but In setting them up he missed
a shot and left his partner ball wired
on the others. AS the enemy was wired,
Marr had only to play near his partner
on it. and Marr set them up. leaving
puryee an open shot at sixty feet. Dur
yee played ''creeper.' passing close to
the cage. and hit single ball. He failed
to make the eleventh, and lost the balls
Marr then put Duryee's ball through the
arch and again placed him in the same
arch, but wired himself from his partner
hall, tn, reby losing the balls.
Mari Won Out of the Tie.
Duryee was quick to take advantage
of this. and on the next play tied Mari,
but again missed short shot and the
latter again got the balls.
At this point each man had only
three inches to make, and each stroke
was watched with intense interest, for
IL Marr could secure this game he
would still have chance to win the
trophy. and he played the game for
every point. Marr made an excellent
set up for his running ball. and fin
ished the game amid the hearty cheers
of the crowd, and the players now
stand: Duryee and Mari 1. with three
more to play.
The series will be continued this
evening at 7 o'clock sharp. and q large
crowd is e~-"c'ed.

RUINED CITY OF COPAN.
Work of Excavation by Scientists o1
Prehistoric Remains stopped by
Honduras Government.

All work on the ruins of the great
prehistoric city of Copan, in Honduras,
has been suspended by order of the
Hond government. Extensive ex-
cavations have been made at Copah by
agents of the Peabody exploration
fund, and great palaces and temples,
giant stairways and broad plazas have
been unearthed. Enough was uncov-
cred to show that Copan was the capt
tai of a great empire, says the Phila-
delphia Press.
The government of Honduras gave
no valid reason for stopping the exca-
vations, and the custodians of the Pea
body exploration fund hope to be able
to get permission to resume work next
year, as the prohibition seems to be
only the result of a temporary freak
on the part. of the native officials
u anime wall has been built around
part of the city and watchmen, living
in huts amid the ruined palaces of for
gotten ki-gs, keep away natives who
might deface and destroy the elabo-
rate stone carvings and sculptures.
The history of Copan is written on
numerous columns and the walls of
the palaces and temples, but no man
as yet can read the inscriptions. Arch
aeologists of the Peabody museum
have, however. mastered the calendar
of the vanished people. and, with this
as starting point. are gradually max
ing progress toward the acquisition of
knowledge of the language of the for
gotten empire.

year was almost ruined by the insects,

The children in San Pete county,
where the idea originated, go out or
grasshopper hunts with as much eN-
citement in view for the day as if the
quarry were rabbits or coons-and the
trophies of the chase are welcomed by
parents much more. At the present

BURNING COLORADO FORESTS.
Fires in UnfreQuented Regions Sup
posed to Been Caused by Ex-
plodiMg MeteOrs.

Scientists are having their atten-
ton called to the coinc dence i'll the
prevalence Of SO many forest hres III
the Rocky mountains anf. the scientific
fact that great number of 1neteors
have been tearing up the earth i'll
this quarter of the globe, says the Den
yer News.
It has been suggested that these
meteors dropping in various mountain
districts, in heavy pine forests, have
exploded and thus started the big for
est fires that are doing so much dam
age. This is a new theory in the scien-
tific world, but it is not without the
range of possibilities and seems the
only explanation of the mysterious
origin of these fires. These fires have
originated apparently without human
agency and there has not been any
theory of lightning origin.
Denver scientists are now making
a study of this theory and in few
days will doubtless express their opin-
ions. 1t certainly seems satisfactory
explanation of how fires originate in
sections far from the roads of travel
and the habitation of men. Word was
lately received in Denver of a fire
raging near Grand Lake, Col, ant.
which threatened much property. This
fire was supposed to have originated
from the bursting of meteor on a
hay ranch near Grand Lake. Another
disastrous fire, with mysterious orr
gin, was raging near Georgetown, Col.

NEW MONEY FOR OLD.
Many People Drawing Currency from
the Banks Request the Un-
used Bills.

There is an unprecedented demand
Tor new money. In reaching out fer
the evidence of wealth aesthetic taste
is asserting itself in the choice of the
tokens OF prosperity. New, clean,
crisp notes are in demand, and per-
sons do not hesitate to ask for them,
says the New York Herald. There is
strongly asserted objection to re-
ceiving old, dirty, crumpled paper
that looks as though it might be a
vehicle for all sorts of disease
germs.
This fact is in evidence at the win
dow Of every bank teller in the land
and at the cash counter of every
store.
please. give me new money" and
"Win you give me clean bill in place
OF this One?" are requests heard
thousands of times every day. These
requests are having their effect SO
far that there is a growing tendency
to pay out only the clean, unobjec-
tionable money. 1t is an illustration
of the old truth that people get what
they want and insist on having.
Every bank will verify this fact.
Old and Objectionable bills go into
them, but they do not go out to their
customers. They go to the redemp-
ton di:ision of the national treas
ury, where they are exchanged for
new money, and then destroyed.
That department reports an immense

Most people know that the German
emperor is given to epigram. but few
persons know how far this tendency
has developed. An enterprising Brit

Commerce has become passion,
just as much of passion as love.
Never forget that the amenities of
life are the life Of the amenities.

A good memory is the second requis-

The navy is no longer the wooden
walls of a country; rather it is coun-

honor, it is time that his fellowmen
should cease to remember him. :.

and when one edge grows duller than
