Record, 21st inst.
At Il barbecue given over in
Lexington yesterday Senator Till
man was present and made
speech. Naturally the people ex-
pected him to say something about
his free pass experience, but he
did not pretend to make any de-
nial Of the fact that he used them
nor did he attempt to explain how
it was that he accepted free trans,
portatlon from railroads. He
contented himself by saying that
the whole thing was an eagerly
grasped opportunity to attack him
on the part of his enemies, espec-
iaiy the newspapers, adroitly
avoiding any explanation of his
violation of the law of the state in
having passes "forced" on him.
Otherwise the senator talked on
national politics and disagreed
with his colleague, Senator Lati-
mer, on his scheme to have large
appropriation from the govern.
ment for good roads building be,
cause 1t was impracticable.
Congressman Lever also spoke
and took a similar position to Sen
ator Tlllman on the good roads
movement. Tic favored good
roads as much as anybody, but
agreed with Senator Tillman that
Latimer's scheme couldn't be car~
ried out: Senator Lltimor spoke
and defended his plan for having
government appropriation for
roads.
There was u large crowd present
and all the speakers had an atten-
tive hearing and were literally
applauded, though there was no
great amount of enthusiasm dis
played. The occasion was an en-
|joyable one, it is said, to all who
attended.

AMERICANS RETAIN
NEWNES CHESS TROPHY
British Recover Ground In Second Days
Play, but Fall to Win.

NEW YORK. April 4.-The American
players in this years cable match with
Great Britain won again, thereby retain
ing the trophy given by Sir George
NeWnes. Considering that they started
today's contest with a clear lead of two
games. the match was won by a narrow
margin. The final score was az to Az,
IN favor of the Americans.
The British began to recover ground
, by the victory of Bellingham over Hymes,
the former intercollegiate champion, miss
ing q draw at the very last moment. A
draw was agreed upon between Hodges
and Mills, which was entirely warranted
by the position.
The American team, however, made up
for the loss by Barrys great victory over
Blackburne after a hard struggle. The
English champion had entered into a bold
combination, abandoning pawn after pawn,
and solely bent upon his onslaught
against the hostile king. Barry. how
ever, frustrated the attack and Black
burne, after losing a piece, had to sur
render.
The next victory was registered in favor
of the British, who won on the seventh
board. Newman had a bishop to the
good, Michel having four pawns. Never
theless Newman might have drawn. but
he wasted several moves by shifting
around his king, thus enabling the Brit
isher to queen a pawn.
Meanwhile Helm, on the tenth board,
had made great strides toward improving
