although as n was Dr. Lyman cleared
$4,000. and would have won $4,000 il his
colt had been first. 5
Yet another coup was successfully put
through in the last race, for matdens when
I Know won. She was backed down from
8 to a much shorter price by all the sharp
men at the course, including a number who
follow the New Orleans races. Wonderly

longs there never was doubt about her
winning. Octoroon once more disappointed
her hackers.
Kuhn who rode Red Path in the hfth
race, won by Clorita. was unable to prevent
his horse from running out on the turn,
The stewards asked him the reason, and he
then informed them that he had injured his
arm the day before by being caught in the
barrier. Thereupon the officials thought IL
best to take him down off The Cuckoo. to
ride which mare his name was on the
jockey board. McGovern got the mount
instead, and the mare made a fair showing
for about six furlongs.

PROPOSED FALL REGATTA.
Members of the Potomac Club Enthu.
siastic Over the Project.


The Potomac Boat Club held special
meeting Monday night, big gathering of
members taking part in the proceedings.
Everybody was enthusiastic over the sug-
gestion Of Potomac river regatta early In
the fall and promises were given to work
hard for the success Of the sport. George
May. who has been on the board of govern
ors for several years, has permanently To-
Gated in another city, and Carl W. p. Stod-
der was elected in his place. Mr.. May was
also captain Of the club. and for this position
Lieut.. George Hernon was elected The
lieutenant vacancy was filled by Guy Ma
rean.
President John Hadley Doyle, who knows
aquatics from A to z, went into all the
details cf the proposed regatta. Mr. Doyle
has managed regattas in the past, and there
Is not an item of expense or move in
committee work with which he Is not ia
miiar Mr.. Doyle suggested that the Ana
iostans. the Georgetown University Boat
Club, the Old Dominions Of Alexandria and
the clubs Of Baltimore be invited to Coop
crate with the Potomacs in making the re-
gatta big success.
1t is more than probable that the re-
gatta will be rowed during the Grand Army
of the Republic encampment in this city or
SO near that time to enable visitors to
take advantage of the big reduction in rail-
road rates.
Some of the trophy cups which were put
up on former regattas are now held by
out-of-town clubs. and these they viii

STEAMER USED OIL FOR FUEL.
Mariposa Gained Day on Usual Time
From Tahiti

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
San Francisco, Cal, Tuesday says: The
Oceanic Steamship Company's oil-burning
liner Mariposa arrived yesterday from Ia
hiti, day before she was expected The
record of her voyage is a tribute to the
wisdom of the step taken In deposirg Old
King Coal and substituting liquid fuel as
food for her furnaces
She reached port with her paint work
fresh and her decks as clean as those of a
welI-scrubbed yacht. Officers and crew
were Jubiiant over the success Of the new
fuel Lieut.. W. P. Wenchen Of the United
States navy, who is chief engineer of the
cruiser Boston, and who was detailed by
the Navy Department to accompany the
Mariposa on her first voyage as an OIL
burner, expresses himself as delighted with
the liners behavior.
II will make my report to the Navy De-
partment, and. of course, cannot go into
details in regard to this matter for pubii-
cation he said. 81 can say this much,
however-and l speak from experience
gained through careful observation
throughout the voyage-that fuel oil, so far
as the Mariposa is concerned, is a COM
plete success. The results obtained on this
voyage Will be still further improved upon
as the engineers become better accustomed
to the new conditions"
The Mariposa used only two boilers
throughout the voyage, and there was
never hitch from start to finish. The pas
sengers expressed themselves as delighted
with a state of affairs which made possible
rapid transportation and an absence of
dirt and smoke.
From the oil furnaces there is no odor,
and the cleanliness exists to the utmost
depths of the big liner. Passengers Were
able to visit the ships engine room and fire
room without risk of having their garments
soiled or Of being subjected to sitting heat
The voyage Of the Mariposa was watched
with interest by the entire shipping world
and its success, II Is believed. will mean the
conversion to oil burners of large num-
Der OF vessels and the abandonment of coal
as fuel by the mercantile marine.
@. s. Grundell. one of the patentees of
the oil burning system used on the Mari
posa, made the trip to Tahiti and back for
the purpose OF watching the system in
practical operation His verdict is most
favorable.
No attempt was made TO crowd the
steamship at all. but she made the home
ward voyage in ten days. twenty-ene hours
and ten minutes.

Reports Of Drinking Denied.

Those reports are so silly and nonsensi-
cal" said Mr.. LOTUS, that they are not
worth contradicting. The only way I can
account for them is that the National
League had several Detroit newspaper men
send out the reports so as to injure the
Senators at home. There is not drinking
man on the team. and Postal took the play
ers. or rather about six of them, for a sail
on the lake in his yacht They were all
back by 10 O'Clock and you can rest assured
that there was no drinking on the trip as
| wouldn't stand for it."
Big Ed Delehanty was standing by while
the interview was going on and at this
point Clipped in with the remark:
HOW DO you account for my playing? 1
was simply dead one and in three games
l didn't get ball out of the infield I don't
care If the whole team was drinking, 1T was
yours truly who are doing the poor work.
People who don't know me might say that
l was drinking; but I'll pay any one a crisp
hundred-dollar bill If he will make an affi-
daVit that l have drunk even one glass of
beer or any other tntoxicant in the playing
season for the past four years"
Del was certainly hot over the report
the men played poor ball against the fin-
ished article. The big fellow also said:
The Washington fans will remember
that the Chicago team Won but three games
on It's last trip east: it was leading the pro-
eesslon. but no one said anything about
that crowd drinking"
Jimmy Ryan, Fred Ely. Jack Townsend.
Doyle, Lee and Carey were also seen, and
every one simply looked disgusted when the
drinking charge was brought up RYAN
only remarked:
III the Washington people were personal
~ acquainted with the members Of the club
they would know that there is not a drink
er among US. and that the games were lost
because we were outplayed. Streaks like
that frequently come to club. but the eY-
pert ball ian knows that they belong to
the uncertainties Of the game"
rms afternoon the Senators open a series
or three games with the St I,onis and
every contest should be a good one. Powell
VIII probably pitch for the Browns. while
Wee Willie" Carrick will serve them nm
for the Washingtons. NH

MACKAY's HORSES SOLD.
Big Disappointment in the Prices

terday at the Saratoga paddock for a total
Of $61 400. Mexican, the star Of the sale
winner Of the first part of the double event,

T. Wilson. jr., after rather slow bidding
The price was. slower than had been ex-
pected. as It was thought the son of Mirth-
full would bring 100000. Mr.. Wilson and
Senator McCarrep each offered $25 900 for
him at private sale and received refusals.
Frederick Gebhard did not attend the sale
because, he said, he thought Mexican would
bring a much higher price. W. l.. Powers
started the bidding at $4,000, and Law
renee Waterbury and Mr.. Wilson then en-
tered the field the former dropping out at
SIT 900. The colt, like Aeeful was sold
subject to John E. Madden's claim on
percentage of the stake in case Mexican
wins the Futurity.
The surprise of the sale was the high
price brought by His Eminence, who won
the Kentucky Derby and the Clark stakes,
but was disappointment after Mr.. Mackay
paid $4,000 for him. E. A. Crown inshteld
got him with bid of 50 900, acting on be-
half of Frederick Gebhard.

to have paid to Mr.. Madden nearly twice as
much for Mexican, Aceful and Skillful as
they brought at yesterdays sale.

$4,000 when sold to Lord Clonmen for Mr..

American League Teams Standing.
National League Teams Standing.

The luckIess band of Washington ball
players arrived home this morning at Z
o'clock, very much the worse for its long
trip from St. Louis. The Senators went on
the cars at midnight Tuesday, and had a
continuous session of travel up until this
morning. Every one in the party is a vet
eran traveller, yet a big majority of the
boys were almost seasick from the con-
tinual joting and swerving Of the cars.
Pitcher Case Patten was so Ill that he had
to seek his bunk at an early hour. and
Wyatt Lee. Billy keister, Ed. Deiehanty
and Fred Ely were also quite sick.
The st. Louis players were on the same
train. and they suffered even worse than
the Senators. Immediately on arrival every
man sought his bed at the Ebbitt, and all
were still sleeping at noon. AS Jimmy
Ryan put it: 'It is only the ones who have
to go through a thirty-hour ride on the
cars who appreciate a comfortable bed"
What Manager LOTUS Says.
Manager LOTUS was up early, taking only
an hours sleep after his arrival, and i'm
mediately started for the American League
Park TO see that everything was in ship
shape for this afternoons game with the
Browns. He was seen at the park by an
Evening Star reporter and asked to tell
about the trip just closed which turned
out so badly for the Senators. Mr.. LOTUS
said:
There is very little to tell or even worth
talking about The players went OFF in their
work. and In addition. the home clubs had
all the luck. In Detroit the team played
poor ball. and as the Tigers were at their
best, they made my club look like bad
nickel. In Cleveland the boys seemed to
have got back their batting eyes, but luck
favored Cleveland. and we got only one
game. Every man on the team would hit
the ball hard, but unfortunately right at
an opposing player, and as a result nu-
merous double plays were pulled off that
killed all chances Of scoring runs. Like
the Detroits, the Clevelands put up an ex-
Celent exhibition of the game as 1T should
be played, and won out. I always hold that
when a team wins by one run luck Is a
all our games at Cleveland.
AT Chicago we caught the crowd by our
playing, and when we beat out the cham
pions in the last inning of one game the
spectators were generous enough to cheer
our efforts.
In st. Louis the players hit hard enough
to score fifty runs. but the Browns put up
phenomenal ball and killed off hit after hit
by sensational plays. There Is nothing
more discouraging to ball player than to
see his apparent safe drives 'coppered' time
after time, and this is what the McAleer
boys were doing in the three games we
played in the mound city. The ST. Louis
team has rounded into splendid shape and
to my mind looks the best Of the entire
league. Every man Is playing for keeps,
and tf the Senators win two out Of three
games from the Browns In the present Sc
ries they will be doing themselves proud"
Manager Lotus was then asked about the
stories coming from Detroit that the Wash
ington players were not taking the best care
of themselves and that their condition was

It was a sort of II told you so" to the young actress, who, as Audrey, had just accepted life and love as the reward for her many trtbulatfons.
 The 1act is. Miss R obson had wanted to die in the play. It was written in Miss Johr ston's book that Audrey should die, becoming a victim to the jealousy Of a balf- br eed Indian. Miss Robson liked the idea. The tragedy appealed to her.
 Oroginally, the play was written to her liking. When George c Tyler of Liebler & Co., returned from his visit to Europe, and read the play, however, he imme- diately vetoed that idea
