Grand Circuit Races.

Providence, R. l., August 31.-Ten thous- and people saw plenty of good racing on the third day of the grand circuit meet ing at Narragansett park today. The weather was fine and the track very fast.
 The big attraction was the Roger Will Hams stakes, a purse of 5000 for trot- ters eligible to the 212 class last March. While seven responded to the call, 1t was believed that the event lay between Consuelo s, winner of the Mass stakes at Readville last week, Sweet Marie, the unbeaten California mare, and Tiverton.
 The former was even money against the field, but the play on the last two ramed was also heavy. Sweet Marie won the last three heats and race
 Consuelo was very rank In scoring for the opening heat, and delayed the start for some time. When finally the word was given, Tiverton shot across the pole with the favorite in hot pursuit. These relative positions were maintained to the wire. the former winning by length.
 The second was duplicate of the first, and then the judges took hand in the affair by removing Smith from behind
 a.o saDatllutlns Alta Me Donald.
 The New York geldlng weakened in the third heat and Sweet Marie won by length.
 The time for the heat at 2:06A is the race record for the year made by trot- ters. Sweet Marie held Tiverton safely in the next two heats. The aggregate time of the five heats is the worlds rec ord, lowering that in the famous stallion race at Readville in the Cresceus- Charley Herr memorable turf battle.

slAePILE SETTINGS.

The Coal Barons return today and be- gin operations with a double-header against Atlanta this afternoon. It is probable that Streit and Reagan will be on the firing line for Birmingham and that c. Smith and Jack Ely will work in similar capacity for Alb Powell The recent trip of the Barons was not quite as satisfactory as the fans had hoped for. but three out of seven is not so bad. 1t must also be taken into consid- eration that the Barons have been mak- ing a wonderful record Tn fact they had done so well that the fans were be- ginning to believe that nobody could beat them. A month ago there would have been great praise for a record of three out of four but now the rooters are so worked up that they want all the games Nothing else will suffice.
 Newt Fisher has always been Birming- hams Jonah and he has certainly lived up to his reputation. The boys fought hard but they simply couldn't shake off that old hoo-doo. This afternoon they will try and get even on Atlanta.
 On the coming series with Atlanta de- pends Birmingham's chances for finish ing in the first division and Atlanta s chance for finishing as good as third. over In Georgia they nave about given up hopes of the pennant and now want to finish as good as third.
 While Birmingham has always pulled for Atlanta they are not so liberal as to want them to beat the Barons. In other words the local talent want just four straight games from the Crackers. If they can't do that they will stand for three.
 This morning the Barons are back at that coveted .500 mark, but it is expected to be increased after the little turn with Atlanta.
 After yesterdays game the matinee closed for the season and there will be no more calling off of games notwith- standing the fact that Birmingham has one more trip to Montgomery. The St. Louis National league team has purchased the release of Billy Campbell. | the ex-Coal Baron, now with the Louis- | vile club in the American association. 1 Campbell has made a good record with Louisville and will make good National league timber St Louis has also bought | Hugh Hill from Kansas City.

TELLURIDE Colo, Dec. both
mine owners and union miners are re
joicing over the action of the District
Miners association, in session at GU
ray. ending the strike in this district,
which was called Sept. !, 1903. Presi-
dent Charles H. Meyer of the Western
Federation of Miners has made the fol
lowing statement concerning the ac-
ton of the Miners association, which
was taken in accordance with his ad-
vice:
I'VE have called the strike Off be-
cause we take the position that the is
sues involved have been conceded by
the mine owners and operators in the
Telluride district in that they recently
posted notices to the effect that after
Dec. | they would grant an eight hour
workday both for their mills and smell
ter and minimum wage of So. These
were the demands we made over one
year ago.
Il believe that within sixty days ev-
cry mine and mill at Telluride and

ity with the best workmen in the west

When You're Drunk.

The question is frequently asked;
cat what stage of the game does a
man become drunk" The following
lines clipped from The World and evil
IDENTIFY written by man of experience,
give a very definite answer
..When your heels hit hard and your head feels
queer
And your thoughts rise up like froth on beer,
And YOUR knees are weak and your voice is
strong
And you laugh all night at some darn fool
song,
You're drunk, by Cad, you're drunk
