King Edwards Carpet.

Persia is famous for carpets, but a
finer example of weaving of that coun-
try has probably never been seen
than that which has just been pre-
sented to King Edward by the Shah
of Persia. A special mission has been
sent to England to bring the carpet,
which is so big that II was impossible
to open it out in the Persian legation
when it arrived in London Its size
and the richness of its quality mark
it at once as a covering for a state
drawingroom. A Persian carpet OF
average size takes from six months
to a year to make, the whole of the
work being hand done. A huge num-
ber OF weavers were employed on
King Edwards carpet as soon as the
shah returned to Persia from Eng
land, and every means was taken to
expedite its manufacture but so great
was the task that almost three years
elapsed before the weayers declared
their work finished. Woven into the
carpet, as an integral part of a most
intricate design, is the kings name,
Edward VII" Another duty of the
special mission of equal Importance
was the presentation of a gift to the
queen. This consists of a brooch set
with brilliants and fine turquoises. and
is also piece of native Persian work.
Decorations were also brought over
for the Prince and Princess of Wales.

THE DIAMOND.
THE HILLS
 WIN FIRST
Great Came Between the Two Champions -- Result of Games Among the 1n- dependent Teams.

The first of the series of three games between the Washington Hills and the reorganized Brooklyns was the best game that has been played this season. and it was enjoyed by a big crowd of fans. Again the good luck of the Hills was with them, for they won out after desperate struggle. Some of the finest playing that has been seen on the Riverside grounds fin many sea- sons was seen there yesterday. Par ticnlarly brilliant was the work of Johnny Edmunds. It is good betting that had some of the state league man. agers seen this young fellows game yesterday they would have made bid for him right away. It was simply marvellous. A little hard luck and pos sibly the decision of the umpire beat the Br0oklyns, for there were many present who claimed the bali batted by Smith was a foul by several feet. It is hard place to put man to um- pire on these grounds and Davy All
 man did probably as we'll as any one could. The score.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-08-28

It was the toughest proposition the champion Hills were lip against this year, but they nosed out just the same.
 Sixteen straight victories Is a record which will stand for some time and the Hills ought to be justly proud of it.
 Shove played a heady and reliable game at third. That boy plays the game all the time and is improving steadily. f
 Edinonds committed a piece of high. way robbery when lie gathered in Dwyer's wicked drive and threw him out. It just tickled Johnny, though.
 Of the Brooklyn nine Mike slavin is the only one who doesn't reside in that district, which makes 1t the most representative team of any in the city
 Lalller and Mulligan had little friendly ( n nfxtip near third, when George was caught between third and home, but Bill laid the ball on him for an out.
 Bill Dwyer played q star game in the left garden, getting everything that came his way with the exception of Bill Lalllers splendid drive for three bags.
 The Brooklyn infield made no effort to get the ball which smith knocked to right. thinking it was foul. By the time Lalller did get fl Smith was home with the winning run.

KRAMER DEFEATS LAWSON

By racing Champion Frank Kramer
 q dead heat fin the one mile national
 circuit bicycle championship at the vailsburg board track last Saturday
 night, 1ver Lawson proved conclusive
 ly that he is Krafners most dangerous
 competitor in the present champion-
 ship race. Jawson's refusal to run
 of the tie and Kramer's subsequent
 walkover gave the five time olmmpfoh
 2 better hold on the leading position,
 increasing his score from 17 to 20
 points. while Lawson's annexation of
 three points for second place raised his
 total ffte E 10 1G points; and as Fenn
 failed t0 get q place he dropped ts
 third position with IA points, Lawson stepping Into the vacant position.
 The sensational dead heat in the final of tle championship race was the feature of q night of spirited races.

The protests were disallowed, and this brought Lee and Lawson and Kramer and Dorlon to The tape for the final heat, the champion qualifying nfter q very narrow escape from being shut ont bv fo9el fin his heat.
 On the third jap one or two fake sprihts were started. and at the bell Dorlon went away with Kramer nicely hooked on to his rear wheel Lawson spfinted and in twinkllng had passed Dorlon and opened gap of several yafs!s on reaching the last turn. kra. mtr went after Lawson in what seemed hopeless chase. Once straIghtcned out, however. he treated inc 5000 spectators to as fine an ex- libition of speed as has ever been wit. ressed on track. eollaring his man as they flashed across the tape seem inaly yoked together.

 IL was a hard game for either team to lose.
 Each team had their old time crowds on hand.
 Wallace ought to have no hit game chalkcd up.

 Wallace threw away two nice chances hy losing his head on the bases
 The supposed to he hig hitters dld not do any damage with the willow on either side
 smith and McNellls dld the Alfonso and gssfon set when they let Shu- rrue's hf drop safe.
 That drive of Biil faliier's for three isars was great and vas easily the stsr feasurr of the game.
 The umpire may have made some wrpne defisions. hut esn you blame himt It's hsri position.
