Automobile Races.

In reply to a deputation from the
Kildare county council in favor of leg
islation for the holding of the interna-
tional automobile race in the Midland
counties of Ireland, his excellency the
lord lieutenant made most sympa-
thetic, practical and interesting speech.
He practically pledged the government
that should any difficulty be expert
enced, which he did not anticipate, Of
securing the required legislation by a
private members bill, it would be made
government measure, and SO relieved
from the veto Of the blocker. To this
end he urged that the unanimous feel
ing in favor of the race in the district
where it is proposed to be run should be
embodied in resolution and submitted
to Mr. Wyndham. The speech of his
eXcellency removes whatever fioubt
might have remained on the subject,
and it may be now assumed as an alb
solute certainty that the race will be
run in Ireland.

The meeting of the University Col
lege Literary and Historical society,
held on Saturday night, to discuss pa
per on Commercial Restraint by
Mr.. John E. Kennedy, drew a speech
from the Rev. T. A. FinIay, S. J. The
paper, which had been awarded prize
some months ago by the ,------
-. was. an excellent historical
sketch of the successive enactments
against Irish trade, the cattle, the lea
ther. the Woollen trade. and the rest,
down to 1880. The debate upon it was
mairly concerned with the question
how far our present day backwardness
in industries is due to these historical
causes. the general tendency being to
attribute our shortcoming to the lack
of industrial spirit which has resulted
from the suppression of our manufac-
lures. Father Finlay's speech was re-
markable in attributing our Industrial
weakness to the action of the British
government since the unian, an inn
mensely strong argument in favor of
home rule.

A SURPRISE MARRIAGE,

w. Henry George, special agent for the
New York Life Insurance Co., sprung a
surprise on his relatives and friends in
Lancaster last week, and it remained a
secret for week. On Monday, July 81,
he and Mrs. Emily Augusta Walter were
quietly married at the Methodist parson-
age at Saluda, Rev. Richard Ferguson
officiating. The engagement was of a
years standing and the participants con-
templated entering the state of wedlock
some time this fall. Howbeit, Mrs.
Walter and her brother took the oppor-
tunity to visit Virgiria while Wharton
Grove camp was in progress, spending
few days at this resort, and while there
the betrothed concluded to postpone the
happy event no longer. With a view to
keeping the matter quiet they took one
OF the numerous boats to Urbanna, and
from thence went to Saluda, where the
knot was tied.
The groomis a worthy and industrious
young man and a native of Irvington,
while the lady is of a prominent and
wealthy family of Brooklyn. She has
been widow seven years, and has a
bright little daughter. Her father is n
retired officer OF the u. S. Revenue Ser
vice. Their home for awhile will be in
Brooklyn, the lady having returned with
her brother last week. Mr.. George will
join her in the course of n week or two.

A WISE BUSINESS DEAL.

hr. James Brinkley a prominent farmer
living near Drivers In Nanesmond county
died recently while In the prime of life and
MS death illustrates forcibly the importance
OF certain precautions in business matter
that men are often likely to overlook.
Nearly all business men, and particularly
men In the busir ess of farming, have plans in
hand at all times that others cannot take up
on the instant and mature SUCCESSFULLY They
must have time to become familiar with
details, and have ready money to cover delays
involved, as well as 10 continue operations.
Mr. Brinkley could always command money
needed To tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such thing is entirely n Diff
ferent proposition.
Mr.. Brinkley was always active In business
and seldom had large balance In bank. He
kept his money at work. As n consequence,
when stricken down by death. business losses
would almost certainly have ensued had he
not forseen such difficulties and as a prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking out policy of life insurance I'm
the Phoenix Mutual OF Hartford. The money
received from The Phoenix in payment of this
policy was. as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw, worth
several times the amount to his family in tho
protection which IL afforded it's various
interests.
Upon receipt OF request we will seed pam
phlet describing Phoenix policies.

crease the face OF my policy, which
would make 1t $1,37l 90, payable at my

Third. To surrender the policy TO the

cash. This policy was on the fifteen
payment life plan-fiftecn year dividend

SOME BASEBALL DoINGs

Where am l at?' whats coming
Ison?' These and other similar express
sions would no doubt have escaped the
lips of a stranger had he entered the por-
tails of Irvington last Monday evening
between the hours of 3 and O'Clock. And
well would he have been justified in so
exclaiming, for there were strange sights
TO be seen and strange noises to be heard
In fact, even the ''old stagers" for awhile
were at their wits end to account for the
proceedings. The young ones of course
were on. 1t could not have been "a go''
had they not have been and in consequence
they were much in evidence. BY no
means though were they the whole thing,
for there were "others, older heads, who
were strictly in it and throughout the
scrap" in every way rivaled the hereto
fore invincibles. The trouble came about
IN this way. TWAS the annual ball prac-
tice game between the Irvingtons and Ir-
vington Beach guests, and for the oecs sion
thelatter, captained by their commander
in chief, L. q. Barnard, in regulation I'M
form, had fully prepared for the ARRAY,
and at 3 O'Clock sharp, accompanied by
their rooters, they left the hotel for the
scene of battle, headed by drummers and
horn blowers all gaily bcdecked in colors
of red and blue with pcnnants of the anne
and the national flag. Along the route
the battle cry was frequently given with
every thing their way. On arriving at the
grounds, however, they met the enemy
who had likewise prepared themselves
and with their colors of gray and blue,
horns, bells and wells, sailed forth to do
battle, with W. Hampton Merchant as
manager and L. l.. Wilder umpire. "Play
ball was soon announced, and from the
first toss of the horse-hide to the close of
the contest the air was rent with yells,
songs, bell ringing, horn blowing, and
the usual guying of each side-the Irving
tons having about the same number of
ympathisers-trying to Guido the
other. For seven innings the contest was
close and exciting. 1t was first one and
then the other in the lead. The staying
qualities, though, of the Beachers proved
to be the best, and when the smoke of
battle had cleared the victory was theirs
by the score of 81 to 10. On returning
to their headquarters the victors at once
issued invitations for the immediate
burying of the Ratchet at the pavilion
and from $50 to 11:30 the thoughts of
what had been or what was to be were
pleasantly cast aside in the whirl. The
line up was as follows: Beachers-New-
bill, q. c. Smith, Mitchell, Rock, Bauman
Baugher, C. T. Smith, Gouldman and
Duke. Irvington-Tom Mason, Brewing
ton, Brent, John Mason, Kirkmyer, Sim
