War Office Mismanagement,


Almost daily stories come out about war
once and army mismanagement. The
amazing report of the loss of Quarter of
mliilon OF pounds by wasting supplies
at Woolwich is emphasized by an incident
which has just been related to me by one
of the principal parties concerned in it.
A north of England contractor who had
business relations with the war office re-
celVed notice from Woolwich to the effect
TO MN must be removed. He replied that
no crates of his were at Woolwich, but the
only notice taken of his letter was a fur
ther intimation that the crates must be
removed at once, falling that they would
be sent off at owners risk. Again the war
once was informed that no crates belong
ing to the contractor in question were
Iying at the arsenal and the war office re-
pied that they had nothing to add to their
former communication except that the
crates were being sent on In due time
they We're delivered to the contractor who
had disoWned them
The most curious part Of the story is
yet TO come. When the crates arrived {.
their destination they were found to be
not empty. but filled with brass gun
mountings. The war office was at once in
formed of the circumstance and the formal
and frigid reply came back: This cor
respondence must now cease"
Ihe gun mountings will now probably he
resold to the war Office as fresh material
The demand for Lord Kitchener to be put
In control grows stronger and stronger
but he is to be sent to India, where he is
not needed. -
Free Concerts.
There is strong probability that Lon
don Will have free municipal concerts next
winter. This Is matter which has been
talked Of for some years, and the parks
committee OF the county council are now
making definite proposal. They have
been advised that the council has legal
authority to pay for such entertainments
They have addressed a letter to the metro
poiitan borough councils and have re-
celved promises from ten of them to lend
halls free of charge for the purpose of
the concerts. OF the remaining seventeen
four have written that they have no suit
able hall, four were unwilling to lend what
proval of the county councils Suggestion
and two have not replied. The Commit
tee are convinced that the entertainment
cannot be provided by means of voluntary
performers They are. therefore. suggest
ing the formation Of an orchestra of first
class professional musicians. The number
Of performers, they think, should be fiftv
three. and the cost for a period of twelve
weeks would be f2,5O0. They think that
seventy-two performances could be given
In that period. and they are asking for
permission to spend the necessary money.

SARATOGA RACES.
Par Excellence, at 80 to 1, Captured the
Alabama Stakes,

Col. James E. Pepper scored his first vic
tory at the races at Saratoga yesterday,
when his filly, Par Excellence, came driving
in ahead of a field Of the best three-year-
old mares in training.
1t was the Alabama stake of 5000. and
when the little mare galloped In at 80 to 1
the players of form received a jolt that
may cripple some of them for the rest of
the meeting. No one thought of Par Ex-
ceilence winning. for to do so she had to
beat Whitney's favorite filly, Gunfire, and
David Gideon's Josepha and the beautiful
and speedy Hatasoo.
The way the money flowed in from the
respective stables on these mares sent their
prices tumbling. The bettors and bookmak-
ers accorded the first three places to them
although Hatasoo and Gunfire were bur-
dened with 124 pounds each and the dis
tance was long for that weight-one and
one-sixteenth miles. AS they dashed under
the barrier HataSoo took the lead and then
to the astonshment Of every one, Gunfire
moved up by her side and together they set
pace that put them three open lengths in
front.
Such a burst Of speed could not be held
long, especially with their weight Soon
after they passed the three-quarter pole
both of them dropped back hopelessly beat
en-. Meantime Josepha, the favorite, had
been biding her time with the slower ones
behind, and moved up with the others. A
quarter Of a mile from home whips were
falling against the side of every horse in
the race, and the two long shots, Par Ex-
cellence and Lux Casta, responded.
They fought 1t out to the wire head by

perately for an advantage BY short head
Par Excellence flashed past the judges in

INTERNATIONAL TENNIS.
Dr.. PIN and r. F. Doherty Paired With
Larned and Whitman.

On the courts Of the Crescent Athletic
Club, at Bay Ridge, N. Y, another interna-
tional struggle for lawn tennis honors
started this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock, and
continues for three days According to the
conditions governing the Dwight F. Davis
cup, emblematc of the international cham
pionship. there will be four matches in the
singles, as each player meets both members
of an opposing team, and one match in the
doubles. Each contest will be the best of
five advantage sets.
The United States L. T. A. chose four
players, William A. Larned. Malcolm D..
Whitman, Dwight F. Davis and Holcombe
Ward Messrs. Larned and Whitman will
take part in the singles and Messrs. Davis
and Ward in the doubles. Under the rules,
Captain Collins of the visiting team an
nounced yesterday that it had been decided
to place DR.. PIN and R. F. Doherty against
Larned and Whitman In the singles
This is the second time the British Isles
have tried to win the Davis cup, which was
first offered for competition two years ago.
Their first attempt was made with team
composed of Messrs. Gore, Black and Bar
rett. The easy defeat Of this team, while
unexpected, brought some consolation to
their followers in the excuse that they
were not the best players possible to send
to this country. This year the best have
been sent.
