Great French Race.
PARIS, June 10 Edmond Blanc's
bay colt Ajax, by Flying Fox-Amie,
has won the Grand Prix de Paris, of
$4,000, distance about one mile and
seven furlongs, this stable thus ac-
complishing the rare feat of carrying
off three great events of the year-the
Prix de Diane (the French equivalent
OF the English Oaks, the Prix du
Jockey Club (the French equivalent of
the English Derby and the Grand
Prix.
Everything combined to make the
occasion an immense success. Presi-
dent Loubet, accompanied by Nine.
Loubet, drove in state to the course
and received the heartiest greetings.
After receiving a welcome from the
authorities Of the Jockey club, mem
bers of the cabinet and the diplomatic
corps President Loubet expressed his
delight at the beauties of the new pres
identiaI stand and then watched the
race with the keenest interest, con-
graduating the owner of the winner be-
fore leaving.
Fourteen horses started for the
Grand Prix. about half a dozen being
at fairly short prices, though Ajax was
a hot favorite. The race was closely
contested, w. X. Vanderbilt's Turenne,
with the American jockey Ranch up,
leading almost to the close, when Stern
called on Ajax for a final effort, which
landed him some short half length
ahead Third place fell to Macdon-
aid II. of Blanc's second string, the
unsuccessful Derby candidate Gou-
vernant taking fourth place.
The victory Of the favorite was nat
urally very popular, and the youthful
Jockey received great and well de-
served ovation

Paris. June 13.-The billiard match
between Jake Schaefer and Louis Cure,
5000 points up, 18-inch balk, two shots

suited in victory for Schaefer. The
score was: Schaefer 1900. Cure 2,9SS.
At the end of the match the Americans
present cheered Schaefer enthusiastical-
Iy and hoisted him on their shoulders.
Scnaefer's victory was mainly due to
a sensational display Of billiards by
him on Friday night, when he scored
S72 against Cures 500 and reduced the
latter's lead from BIT to 5. Saturday
night Schaefer made sos points to the

GREATER WATERBURY, LEAGU]
POTS AND PANS WON.

The ball game between the Pots and
Pans of Vine street and the Brieklay-
ers on Long hill diamond yesterday
afternoon resulted a close victory for
the first named team, the score being
10 to 8. Lineup was as follows
Bricklayers-Den C; Smith, n:

Pans-Steiner, c; Hearn. %; StowelI,
lib; Lavine, 2b; Egan, 3b; Ward, SD
and manager; Carmill, If; Bassett. eff:
Johnson, IF. One of the best features
of the game, and there We're many
amusing ones, was the batting and
running of Sullivan, who made two
home runs. Nelson who substituted
on the Pots and Pans distinguished
himself also and Denicourt turned a
somersault while making what was
supposed to be a home run. After
that he pitched instead of catching, a
position where he had great fun. Both
sides insisted on having Michael
Drury umpire, his decisions in the pre-
viOus game having been so widely adj
lnired for their impartiaIity. Captain
Ward distinguished himself, too, by
surviving after reaching second base,
which in the last game proved to be
his tombstone every time. Dolan was
great captain for his Bricllayers
hardly better one could be had. The
way the game started 1t was expected
the Pots and Pans would lick the
Bricklayers of the field, but IN Tie

Summary Action.

At a banquet given a few evenings
since by a local court of Foresters one
of the Superior Judges of this city. who
is a member of the court, was called
upon to respond to 1.-The Golden State"
He spoke at some length of the pio-
neers of California and their trials and
then said: Those pioneers were a pc
culiar people in one sense of the word
they formed a fraternity such as never
before or since existed. 1t was a fra
ternity that was ready at all times to
help each one who belonged to it with
out question and without reserve. 1t
was not a fraternity of limited contri-
buttons in case of need, but one OF
whole souled donations"
The next speaker, an old-time Cali
forhian, was called upon to respond to
Fraternity and he took UP the line
Of thought of the Judge, saying: Il re-
member we'll the fraternity spoken of
by the Judge Every one was welcome
to belong to it without initiation, but
he had to be what he represented him
self to be, and woe betide him if he
made a false pretense. If he pretended
to be a doctor and proved to be a
quack he was not brought before an
arbitration committee for trial upon
charges formulated in legal form. but
he was waited upon by a committee
that told him that the fraternity had
decided that by reason of his false rep
reservations he was not a desirable
member and that he had just six hours
to get out of the place. If he was found
in the place at the expiration of the
time limit he was not given a second
notice The committee simply marched
him to the nearest tree and hanged
him. That is the way that fraternity
got rid of undesirable members

Tapestry of Price.

Probably the largest single sale OF
tapestries on record in this country
has just been recorded in New York.
John r. Mclean of Washington and
Cincinnati was the purchaser. For ap-
proximately 100000 he has secured
series of eight seventeenth century
pieces formerly in the Barberini pal
ace. Cardinal Barberini was a devoted
admirer of tapestries and had looms
of his own. This series was woven for
him in Rome from designs by Roman
ELI, a famous artist. All are in excel
lent condition, woven in light colors,
and so large that few private houses
have the wall space for their display.
They were brought from Italy some
years ago, having been sold to resi-
dent of Washington by the Princess
Barberini.

Backing the Center.

A New York paper prints a cable
gram from Zanzibar, East Africa,
which tells of a remarkable collision"
which occurred on the Uganda raif-
road that would be possible nowhere
else on earth. A huge bull rhinoceros
rushed from the bush and charged at
full speed at the so-called 'up mixed
train, which was slowing down, Febru-
airy IA. as it approached the station
Sultan Hamond, 21s miles from Nom
basa, ON the coast, where the road
starts. 1t was still dark, just before
daylight. The train was travelling
eight or ten miles an hour when the
infuriated pachyderm attacked it on
the flank.
Perhaps the great brute had been
aroused from sleep by the greater mon
ster, whose one big shining eye nearly
blinded him. But the rhinoceros, lord
of the region, caring nothing for the
huge bulk of the unknown intruder.
hurled itself upon it. The engineer felt
series of shocks, of which the first
was so violent as to throw two passen-
gers from their sleeping berths to the
floor. The train was stopped and the
passengers turned out, most of them
in their ''robes Of night and some of
them badly scared. The "rhino'' was
discovered about 100 yards down the
track. The impact with the train had
felled him, but had not cooled his rage.
Slowly he raised himself and stood de-
family shaking his head
Some of the more sporting passen-
gers got their rifles and opened fire on
the rhinoceros, but the light was uncer-
tain, and probably the mighty beast
was not hit. Slowly he returned to the
jungle and was lost sight Of He did
not escape unharmed from the strange
encounter, for pieces of his thick skin
were found adhering to the train. But
the fierceness of his assault smashed
the engine step and splintered the inch
and a half thick footboard of the first
carside.
