reply. "Why, I'm going to win the

LONDON, Aug. S.-'Lizzie Parkin-

to sing at concerts, is now famous
in the world of grand opera as Miss
Elizabeth Parkina. This season she
won golden opinion at the Royal
italian opera, Covent Garden, and has
concerts before the king and queen.
Madame Blanche Marchesi trained
the young singers voice and Eliza
beth Parkina is Melba's special pro-
tege. Unlike most singers, who have
a tendency to get stout, Elizabeth
Parkina is slim, pretty and young.
She lives in u charming little fiat in
Russell square with her sisters. and
says that she receives few presents
of jewels. although frequently her
admirers send her flowers.
Elizabeth Parlsina received her
greatest compliment from an old
Irish woman who witnessed Faust"
from the gallery. "Shure, miss"
shouted the old dame during the gar
den scene. you're too swate and in
nocent to be come over by that black
guard. Don't you see he has the divil

brought down the house. Miss Par
kina looks forward with delight to
her forthcoming operate tour in Aus
tralia in the autumn and declares that
her chief delight is to take long rides
on the tops of buses.

Hamilton did not always have the
prefix OF Lucky" Three or four
years ago he might have had "Un-

Such was his financial straits that
he fed to the desert for relief He
had heard that rich finds were being
made in the Mojave desert and he
procured a prospector's outfit and he
started out across the burning plain.
It was in this region of terrors that
luck was waiting him.
He had hardly begun his quest
when he met with fortune. Not many
miles from the town of Mojave Is q
place where the ground Is strewn
with rocks ana boulders. In crossing
this bit of rough territory Hamilton
stubbed his too upon small rock.
Tradition says that Hamilton fell to
the ground; at any rate the rock
rolled over, and Hamilton, when he
arose, caught glimpse OF yellow In
the stone. 1t looked promising and

About once year he goes up to the

ease and comfort thus insured. He
says he does not wish to develop the

second GAME.

Davenport won the $1,000 purse
yesterday in the game with Reardan.
The crowd of $500 rather expected
to see a prize fight mixed up with
the ball game on account of the bad
feeling between the two teams. but
they were disappointed. The selec-
ton of Ralph Dodd as umpire was a
happy one and his decisions through
out the game gave no opportunity
for wrangling. Davenport assumed
the lead In the first inning and main
tanned it throughout the game. Fuller,
the twirler for Davenport, put up a
better game than Pugh, the Reardan
box artist. He kept his hits scat
tered. Davenport undoubtedly had
the best team. Their playing was
good and the game was won through
the support they gave their pitcher.

sent the Indians back to Spokane with
a bad taste in their mouths. Four
out Of six games were contributed
to Butte to help them out in the
standing. Out of IL games played
the Indians have had the extreme
good fortune to win three. Butte
took a double header yesterday. The
Indians had the first game won In
the tenth inning, but a batting rally,
coupled with bad luck lost the game.
Willie Hogs was hit hard and often.
He did his best to win his own game
by lining out a three-bagger, but the
rally was unavailing. Both games
yesterday we're exciting. There were
five double plays In the first game.
The game was called in the seventh
inning to enable the Spokane team to
catch the train for Spokane.
