The rain saved somebody yesterday, but
with Strauss erratic decisions it would
be difficult to select the victim. 'Tis true
1t looked gloomy for Birmingham when
Memphis went in and raped out two
clean runs In the first half of the fifth
and had a man on second and third with
only one out when the shower descended,
but what might have happened is not a
mater of record.
AS Babb walked up in the fifth with
the full and deliberate intention of lining
one out and cinching the game big ON
nous drops of rain began knocking up
the dust in the diamond. Frequent
flashes of lightning and rolling thunder
told the crowd there was yet hope, and
after two balls had been called, the rain
came in torrents. Umpire Strauss prompt
ly called the game, and though at sew
eral intervals it looked as if the game
would be resumed, the rain kept falling,
end at the end of the required thirty
minutes Mr.. Strauss announced that the
hostilities would cease for that after
noon.
Birmingham had not had her turn at
the bat and consequently the game
counts for naugnt. Under the rule five
full innings must be played to constitute

From the start it was evident that a

doing beautiful work. Both had wide
curves and plenty of speed. In the fifth
however, Memphis uncorked three hits.
two of which were of the Texas Lacquer
variety and this connected with a base

Undertakers two runs.
Birmingham's only run was made in

Politics.

London, Aug. 2-The new prepara-
tions for the coronation of King Ed
ward next Saturday are proceeding
rather mechanically. The erection of
familiar street barriers, cleansing and
decoration of stands and the rehang-
ing of decorations attracts little atten-
ton. Public interest in the actual pro-
ceedings, however, is rekindled by the
official assurance that the king is get
ting on finely; that his majesty will be
able to bear the fatigue OF being
crowned. Publication of the official
program of the procession shows no
special changes from the original ar
rangement but the ceremonies in West
minister Abbey have been curtailed by
the omission of the litany and sermon
and by the recital of the recognition
once instead of four times. A new series
of rehearsals have begun at the abbey
with dignified movements and recltals
and these are far more impressive than
anything connected WITH the street
spectacle. The city council of West
minister, in compliance with the kings
wishes, has voted that no further eN-
penditures be incurred in replacing the
street decora tions. The club houses
which line considerable portion of the
route ond most of the other buildings
are being redressed with fresh speci-
mems of Canada's agricultural products.
and the Indian contingent is erecting
an arch on Parliament street. The i'll
luminations on coronation night will
be largely as originally planned The
vicinity of the Bank of England, Royal
Exchange and Mansion House will be a
blaze of electric lights and the Strand,
Trafalgar Square, Pail Mall, ST. James
Square and Piccadilly will be gorgeous
with illuminations. many of which will
be displayed on Kitchener night, Aug.

SHAW BOOM FOR 1908 STARTED
Friends Believe He Can Then Be Nom
mated for President.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Until Presi-
dent Roosevelt selected Leslie NJ. Shaw,
of Iowa, to be his secretary of the
treasury it was expected by the repub-
lican party leaders generally that Mr..
Shaw would be candidate for the
presidential nomina ton in 1904. Less
than two years ago Senator Allison, OF
Iowa, himself long talked of as the
choice of mis- party for presidential
honors said that his candidate for the
nomination in 1904 was Governor
Shaw A small movement in his fav-
or was kept up. however. and Secretary
Shaw found it necessary to write d
letter stopping it.
Altho Secretary Shaw has thus dis
posed of all doubt regarding his eN-
pectations for 1904, his friends will not
deny that he is ambitious to run for the
highest office in the nation. The year
1908, they believe. will not be to late.
If the secretary lives until that year he
will only be so years old on election
day, or about election day, since his
birthday was on Nov. 2.
An evidence of his intention to con-
tinue his political activity in campaign
time was shown when he recently made
a visit to Maine, where he addressed
the republican state convention, and by
his acceptance of the invitation to open
the campaign in Vermont. Secretary
Shaw expects to go on the western trip
with President Roosevelt in September,
and will certainly make some political
speeches on that occasion.

ments regarding their action. The
rates of the Great Western will, of
course. be met, but the question is. will
they be made still lower.
The reduced rates are said to be the
result of the concerted effort of several
of the big packing concerns. and it is
asserted that the Great Western re-
ceived some consideration for inaugur-
ating the reduction. Presumably this
consideration is a large amount OF bus-
mess to come from the packing house
interests, but how much is only con-
jectural. 1t is said by some that pack
ing house traffic over the Great West
ern will be so large as to be discourage
ing to the other roads Should this
prove to be the fact no one can tell
where the matter will end. as traffic of
ticials of the other lines will not be
likely to permit traffic to escape them
without strenuous effort to save it.
Ever since Jan. ], when the rates on
packing house products and dressed
meats were raised from 1872 to 2Sls
cents. representatives of the various
packing houses have used every ef-
fort to get the rates reduced, not by
IllctlIlS VI ScCicl NoIlSSs,'lois, pue W
published tariffs. They assert that they
are loosing money and argue that the
present rates are higher than they have
been compelled to pay before in years.
1t is also contended by them that they
are unable to make the consumer pay
the added freight and therefore desire
to have reductions made to the secret
rates in force prior to Jan. 1.

FOR A $4,000 STAKE
Great Race on Between Lord Derby
and Borama-First Heat Goes to
BoraIma, Second and Third to Derby
Conditions Favorable.

Hartford. Aug 2.--Ten thousand peo-
track this afternoon to witness the
opening day of the trotting meeting.
The principal event is the match be-
tween Lord Derby, 2:061a. owned by T..
&. Smithers of New York and Thomas
w. Lawson's Boralna, 2:01. The horses
are reported in the best of condition,
the weather about perfect Lord Derby
is selling favcrite al 10 to 6. The first
heat was Won by Boralna, time 20S.
Lord Derby had the pole but lost il the
first half mile. Coming down the
stretch Lord Derby went into the air
and i was Boralma's heat. The second
heat was won by Lord Derby in 2.o9l2
putting the horses on an equality
The third heat and race was won by
Lord Derby. The time was 2:0SA.
Interest Was Great.
This morning the track was in per-
feet condition and both horses are on
the ground and ready for the best race
of their lives. 1t was definitely settled
that Geers, who has been behind Lord
Derby in all his races, would have the
mount and the great reinsman came
on with the horse from Cleveland and
has given him the necessary prelimi-
nary work. L. e. Ssmathers. owner of
Derby. arrived from New York yester-
day. He said the plan of having Geers
drive his horse originated with George
Spear, who is the regular driver from
the Smathers stable. In the event of
Lord Derby winning. Smathers prom
ised Geers and Spear $1.500 apiece
from the stakes.
Lawson was not here to see Boralma
perform. He was asked by "A. j. Welch,
who owns the track, to name one of the
judges of the race to act in his interest
and replied that Boralma would he all
the representative he needed. Lawson's
betting commissioner. John Roche, is
here. and this started rumor that on
account of the 2:06le mile that Boralma
trotted at Cleveland last week the Bos-
ton man was prepared to back his horse
to the limit. SO far as the Derby people
are concerned they did not believe
their horse could be beaten.
Geers drove Derby a mile at Detroit
in 2:1012 and at its close told Owner
Smathers that the horse was never so
good and would beat every trotter this
season, Cresceus not barred.
The stake money for the race, 100000
a side. was all up early. General adj
mission was 81, and it cost 81 more for
a seat in the grand stand, SO that as the
winning horse gets 60 per cent of the
gate receipts and all the stake money,
his pay for the afternoons work will be
at least $4,000. and possibly more.
Horsemen are here from all parts of
the country, boxes having been bespok-
en- from as far distant points as Cali
fornia, and big delegation of circuit
followers arranged for an excursion
from Columbus. where the horses are
engaged this week.

LIBERALS WILL NOT CONTROL
British Politics Asitated Because of
Results in Elections

SfItISn folIttCS N9itate0 because OF
Results in Elections.
London, Aug. 2.-Calmer estimates of
the significance of the unprecedented
liberal victory in this weeks parliamen-
/ tary election in Leeds indicate there is
little real basis for renewed hopes that
: the liberals are gaining control of the
government. The government has been
!, soundly lectured and solennly warned
! this week not only by its opponents, but
also by some of its Journalistic support
]. ers; but the opposition's enthusiastic
prophecies about the early getting to-
gether of all branches of the opposition
:, were pretty effectually squelched by
Lord Rosebery's dispassionate reitera-
tion that he has no intention of aban-
doning the imperialistic platform and
the equally stubborn contention of the
radicals that they will not relinquish
hcme rule as standard party issue. In
politely deploring Rosebery's utterances
the chief liberal organ disappointedly
remarks:
1--WE do not think Rosebery quite
realizes the passionate desire for unity
that exists among the liberals thruout
the country, nor the passionate desire
to arrive at it with or without leaders"
The paper scores the liberal leaders
for their folly in splitting hairs at
time when the government is entering
into the labyrinths of the patched-up
education bill, and that is revealed to
the country to be without aim or
policy"
