Burial,

How much better | like the word
burial than funeral The burial is
just the fulfillment of our latest pray

poor pettiness of that which is not liv-

all buried away, and nothing precious
in his sight, and so in ours, can be
buried there"- Letters Of Emelie Rus

Smell ana Taste.

The sense of smell is most nearly al
lied to that of taste. Hearing and see

vibrations in the air and in the ether.
In order to taste a substance it has to
be wholly or partially dissolved; in or.
der to smell substance it must en-
counter the olfactory organs as va
por an emanation, cloud of particles
arising from odoriferous matter.

first game will bring together the Washington Hills andythe Pastinnes, and right here let it be, said the Pas time manager has promised to make the Hills hustle to win that game The Hills are leading the league and expect to win the pennant without any trou- ble. Tomorrow afternoon the Pas dimes will present some of their old players and the west enders are taking the short end of the betting that the Pastimes will win.
 The second game will be a corker, for the St Josephs and the Brooklyns are in sight of the pennant and win by either one means a battle with the Hills later for the cup. This game will be fought by the best players on each team and there will be plenty Of excitement from the time the umpire calls the game. @'
 The first game will start at o'clock and the second one at 1 o'clock. The managers of the league wish to say to the public that they have been giv- ing them free base ball for two years or more and this year their expenses for many reasons were greater than ever before They ask now that the public appreciate this fact and turn out to the Saturday and Sunday games. They promise to give some exciting games of base ball because there are four tean1s fighting hard for the pen nant and the other two are settling bitter rivalry between them. It will be one of the greatest and fastest in iSEhes ever seen in any league.

TARLE OF PERCENTAGES.

President Powers of the Eastern league has decided that Wagner can- not be forced to join the Toronto club, nor can Carr and Golden be forced to join Providence. Tn view of this de- cision Carr was ordered to report to Toonto and Golden will return to To ronto as soon as the Connecticut league closes. Golden is first baseman on the New Haven team.
 The Young Clovers won a ten-inning game from the Red Stars yesterday af- ternon by the score of p to 21. This is the third game won this week. They defeated the Red Stars twice and the Young Stars once. If any team in this city whose players ages are under 13 years wishes a game, call on Manager Frank Sheehan of 2S Sylvan avenue. or Captain John Phelan of 21 South street.
 Connie Mack says that Dan Murphy is one of his particular stars. 'Mur- phy had one bad side, which kept him out of the game for 10 days" he said s.and I tink we lost at least three games by his absence.'' ** De- fancy was released last evening. He has been going back for the past three weeks and Manager Morrissey decided not to even wait until the close of the season, but to give him his walking papers at once.-Norwich Record.
 Dr Frank c. Reisling, ex-manager of the Hartford and Bristol baseball teams who left Bristol last spring for Toledo, O., to manage and play on the baseball team of that city, has com- pleted arrangements to coach the Ohio Medical university football team. Reisling was footbal player when he was in the Ohio State Dental college, and gave that up for baseball Just before leaving Bristol for the west he said that he intended to come back to Bristol this fall, but his recent ar- engagements look as if he had quit the town. #.

Contest for National Amateur Honors
 Reduced to Eight Survivors.

Glen Cove. L. l.. Sejt 4.-Only eight golfers are left to continue the fight for the amateur championship of the United States, and the result of to- days play in the tournament will de termine the two men who will battle for national honors on Saturday. The eight survivors after a day of hard matches are: Paul Murphy, Garden City; George T. Brokaw, Deal, N. J.; W. R. Tuckerman, Stockbridge, Mass; E. NJ. Byers. Allegheny, Pa; S. D. Cady, Rock Island, III, and Bruce D. Smith, Onwentsia. III.
 The defeat of the two Egans in the morning was hard blow to the west erners. Both had been picked as semi final survivors. It was plainly Walter Egan's bad day. He sliced more than half his drives, and his putting was weak Chandler Egan was beaten by two holes by Alexander c. Williams of Philadelphia, who appeared to be somewhat of dark horse. This match was the last of the third round, and the unexpected news that Egan was down drew large crowd to see the finish Williams was beaten in the afternoon by Bruce D. Smith by one hole in a nineteen-hole match.
 Brokaw in the afternoon had little trouble in beating H. c. Fownes of Pittsburg by up and to play.
 Walter J. Travis defeated Archi- bald Graham, the North Jersey golfer, who put champion James out of the race. Travis won by 5 up and to play. Earlier in the day Travis won by up and to play over A. w. Til linghast of Philadelphia.

he replied that nothing but pair of dumbbells would suit him. Later he waived the point and the mill started. In the opening round Gardner landed several hard left Jabs effectively. In the second Gardiner missed a wicked left swing, but landed lightly with a short right counter to Sullivan's face. From this period on the boxing was replete with brilliant work on both sides, Sullivan being especially shifty and doing his share of the leading. He finished strong at the end of the fif- teenth round. Gardner's blocking and foot work were the best seen in many day by Fall River sports. Referee Downey declared the match a draw.

OLD ATHLETIC FIELD.
Base Ball to Be Started on the West
 End Grounds Tomorrow Afternoon.

Base Ball to Be Started on the West
 End Grounds Tomorrow Afternoon.
 All the lovers of base ball in this city will be pleased to know that a deal has been effected between the president of the City Amateur league and A. 0. Griswold, the lessee of the Athletic field, near the car barns at the west end, whereby all Saturday games hereafter will be played, on those grounds instead of the Riverside park and the Driving park. The Sunday games, however, will be played at the Driving park as usual. It has been found necessary owing to the erection of building out in the field to change the diamond around to the old style The last time base ball was played on the grounds 1t will be remembered that the backstop was away from the grand stand entirely, and that is where it will be placed now. The grounds are just the same with the exception that the bleachers have been taken away. but the grand stand is still there, and this will also be appreciated by the fans, for it will give them chance to sit down and see the games There will be policemen down at every game to see that everything runs along smoothly and base ball should boom from now to the close of the season.
 The games tomorrow will be of great interest, because they will have a strong bearing on the pennant The

61rry Buck. Wins the Ten Thousand
 Dollar Stake.

 Providence, R.. l., Sept 4.-About twelve thousand persons saw another day of good racing at the grand circuit meet yesterday. The favorites had better luck than they had the day be- fore, three out of four fulfilling the ex- pectations of their packers Billy Buck was picked by the wise ones to win first money in the classic Roger Williams $1O,000 stake for 2:14 trot- ters. and the gelding delivered the goods. In the first heat he went around from the outside, got. the pole and came under the wire an easy win ner. In the next two heats he. was never headed, although Scott Hudson with Jay McGregor, pushed him hard in the stretch. Kinney Lou did not come up to expectations in the race, having a decidedly off day.
 In the 2:15 pace Sadie Baron took the first heat, but after that Trilby Di- rect came to the front and won the next three heats in handy fashion, The POS pace brought out some sensa- tional finishes. Al Book was looked upon as good thing but failed to get within the money. L0canda went to the front in the first heat, beating Louise G. under the wire by a narrow margin.
 In the second heat Locanda went in the air in the backstretch and finished last. Albert. substituted for Onoto, and driven by A. P. Mcdonald, took the heat. In the last heat Locanda picked up Albert in the stretch and beat him under the wire by head. There was nothing but Dillon Bouy in the fourth race, and he romped in a winner in two straight heats.

Circuit to End on Monday.
 By the result of the circuit race at New Haven on last Tuesday night, when Lawson beat Kramer by half a wheel, the two leaders for the cham pionship title were tied in first place, with Al points apiece. With affairs in this condition 1t was yesterday agreed by the circuit riders, the track owners, promoters and National Cycling associ- ation officials to close the circuit with three more meets 1t was agreed also to make an exception to the rule against holding 8 circuit meet on Sun day and have a mpionship meet at Belleville, N. J., on Sunday. The other two meets will be at Manhattan Beach, one on Saturday and the other on Mon day, and the circuit will end there. so that Labor day evening will see either Kramer >or Lawson champion of the W. 0. A circuit The Manhattan Beach meets will be held in connection with the motor cycling carnival ar ranged for Saturday and Monday.
 This arrangement for a speedy ter imitation of the circuit was made part ly in order to enable Lawson and Nc Farland to start for Australia, where they have engagements to ride all win ter. They will leave New York on Monday night.
 The total score of the circuit men to date, with nine championship races run, three of them for double points, is shown in table form below. Under the head of firsts, seconds, thirds and fourths, the single marks indicate the places won in normal races, the irsts scoring five points; seconds, three points; thirds, two, and fourths, one, The crosses each indicate place won in race in which the points were double those named.

New Haven, Sept 4.-Both New Lon don and New Haven scored their only runs in the first inning of yesterdays game, after which the contest became a pitchers battle. Mclaughlin had the better of it in number of hits, but Trumbull was exceedingly effective with men on bases. New Haven's runs came after Fallon's huff. of thrown ball on which a double play should have been made to retire the side. The score:

Local Men Will Be Given the Prefer

Local Men Will Be Given the Prefer
 No players have as yet been signed by Harry Morrison, manager of the basketball team, which will represent this city in the state professional league. It is the intention of the man agement to have at least three local players on the team and two cracker jacks from New York and New Jer- sey If this team isn't fast enough other players will be secured. Mama ger Morrison spoke as follows in regard to the local team last night: "Yes, we intend to have fine basketball team here if money can secure one. The Connecticut league vii see some very fast basketball and think that it will be we'll supported. We haven't sign any players as yet. We intend to give the local boys a chance. There will be about ten candidates. Among them will be Jack Curtis, George Mulligan, Joe Donahue, McKeon, Armbruster and McPartland. Reeves has very responsible position in Hartford and will not be able to play. 1t is not probable that Waterworth will be in the game although we would like to have him very much. If we can se- cure three good players from here and two former players from the National league we will be all right. But no men will be signed before we try them out. If after the season starts, we find that the local team is not as fast as the other teams, we will secure an entire new team if necessary
