BROOKLYN ATHLETIC CLUB.

Greatest Event in the History of the
 Club Will Be Given on Saturday.
 When the members of the Brooklyn Athletic club began preparations for the field day of the club, little did they expect that they would receive so many entries for their sporting events. John L. Johnson, the secretary, has received a flood of applications from those desir- ing to enter the various contests. This not only is gratifying to the members of the club, but it also assures the pulp lie of a corking good day of athletic events. Every event will be pulled off as advertised, and every prize offered will be there for each contest. All the features of this field day will be new and novel and there is no doubt but that next Saturday will see the biggest crowd that ever attended a picnic at the Driving park.
 The members of the committee who have charge of the arrangements are working hard to have everything pleas ing to their patrons and even the troll ley service will be so regular that you can go and come at any time during the day or evening. Besides the sport. ing events there will be other enter tainments. The ladies and children will find it a pleasant place to spend the day, for they will be royalty enter tained. There will be plenty of danc- ing for the young folks and perhaps the old people will be given a chance to see what they can do in tripping a few steps of a reel or a breakdown. There will be nothing lacking to make the day glorious one, and everybody knows that what the Brooklyn mem bers undertake they generally carry fl11f

WITH THE WRESTLERS.

Harvey and Foley Have Something to
 Say of Interest to Jack Roach.
 Jack Harvey and Jesse Foley were callers at the Democrat office this morning and each made statement in reference to some talk they had heard concerning Jack Roach. Foley said he has never gone to any club trying to arrange a match between himself and Roach. He has not been looking for match and if other par ties want to wrestle him they know where to find him.
 Harvey said that he was not here to train Foley, that he was here on busi- ness and expected to remain here. He was willing to back Foley, however, against Roach at an agreed weight, but not at any middleweight limit. As far as wrestling Roach himself was concerned he would be willing to do that if Roach would get down to 125 pounds. If he did that Harvey said he would agree to get down to 121 pounds. He said he was not looking for matches and neither was Foley, but he intimated that if the terms were satisfactory he would wrestle. He was not afraid of any wrestler at his weight and least of all Roach.

T J 4fa ' # Jolly Wearers of the Horns Making
 Great Strides for Annual Outing.
 Two years ago the Waterbury Elks gave their first real field day at the Driving park, and although the rain came down in torrents at intervals during the day and night, the field was crowded with friends of the lodge, and q great day it was. This year the members expect to outdo anything in that line yet given, and at the meeting of the committee last night the pro- gram of events was partly arranged. The field day will be given at the Trotting park on Thursday, August z, and Elks from all over the state will be here on that day. At the New Lon don outing last week the matter was talked up and it is expected that at least POO visiting Elks will be here. The stalls are being prepared for them and they will be given all the feed and fodder necessary to keep them in good spirits.
 The program of events has not yet been fully arranged, but one of the distinct features will be ball game between hines from the lodges in Meri- den and Middletown. The local lodge will hang up a costly trophy for that game and rooters. are coming from each city to back their respective teams. Another interesting number will be tug of war between teams from every lodge in the state and an- other trophy will be hung up for this event. There will be racing at 100 yards distance, one-half mile, and a fat mems race. The Elks will give away $2OO in prizes alone for the win ners of the contests. Later the full program will be given and all the fea- lures connected with the field day will be explained

Australians Defeat English Team, in
 Third Cricket Match.

Third Cricket Match.
 Details, of the third test cricket match between England and Australia have been received here by the latest mail. The match was played at Shef- field, and as both the previous games had been drawn on account of rain, considerable interest was aroused in the contest. The Australians won the toss and obtained decided advantage by batting first, as the wicket wore badly and became fiery and crumbling in the fourth innings.
 The Australians played a splendid game, however, and gained the victory by 143 runs. c. Hill, the crack left hand batsman, scored 119 in the Aus tralians' second innings and V. Trumper made @. For England the highest scorers were A. c. Maclaren with 63 and G. L. Jessop with 5. M. A. Noble bowled with great success for Australia and took in all II wickets for 103 runs. The score was: Aus tralia. 194 and 2S9; England, 145 and 195.

 Hanover, July 22.-at the last mo- ment the committee in charge of the International Chess Masters tourna- ment, to be played in this city, altered at the request of the players the rule of having the tourney played exactly according to the Berger system. The players objected to the Berger system, as a competitor could then prepare himself from day to day for every sin gle game, which he could not do at Monte Carlo, where the round to be contested on any particular day had to be drawn on each day of play The committee accepted the Monte Carlo rule, and round fourteen of the Berger system provided the pairing for the first round, begun at o'clock. yester- day morning. Following are the re suits: Mieses beat Marshall, Wolf beat Popiel, Atkins beat Mason, Bar deleben beat Cohn, Janowski beat Gottschalk, Olland beat Suechting.

M'LAuRIN DECLINES.
aent Had Appointed South Car o1ina Senator as Judge.


 OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 22.-Pres- ident Roosevelt is in receipt of a letter from Senator John l.. McLaurin of South Carolina declining the profered appointment to the vacancy on the bench of the United States court of claims. The president, it can be said. much regrets Senator McLaurin's deci- sion, as he believes that McLaurin's senatorial experience and his career as attorney general of South Carolina would have rendered him particular ly good addition to the court of claims.
 The president now is uncertain what he will do about Senator McLaurin. It is understood that he is anxious to ap- point him to some position in recogni- tion of what the president regards as his services to the country and his demonstrated ability in public life. Senator McLaurin's letter is couched in the most positive terms and evident ly was based in particular upon a newspaper article which accompanied the letter. The article stated that the senator had sold himself for the pros pect of getting such an office as that offered to him. It can be said, how ever, that the president regarded such a type of accusation as beneath notice and sincerely regrets that Senator Nc Laurin should have deemed it necessa- ry to pay any attention to it. X
 Senator McLaurin evidently has changed his mind about accepting the proffered appointment since he was in Oyster Bay on July II. At that time he indicated his readiness to accept the vacancy of the court of claims, and the only question then was when he should resign from the senate.

o'RoURKE OUT OF IT.
Connecticut League Umpire Trouble
 Probably Adjusted.

PrODaDly Adjusted.
 Bridgeport, July 22.-The umpire question has been a disturbing factor in the Connecticut Base Ball league for the entire season, and Manager O'Rourke, secretary of the league, has come in for great deal of criticism, as the appointment of the umpires was left to his charge.
 Yesterday, in view of this criticism, MT O'Rourke decided to withdraw from the management of the umpires, and has delegated Sidney w. Challen- ger of this city to discharge the duties of the position, commencing next Mon day.
 MT Challenger is a we'll known base ball writer, official scorer of the league and is well qualified to properly dis charge the duties assigned to him. It is believed that this action will do much to quiet the situation, and bring the umpire staff of the league up to q high standard.

 when they alighted from the train last evening There was considerable re- monstrance to the mayors orders, but that official would not be swayed by any appeals.
