RAIN MAKES ROADS
GOOD FOR THE
AUTO CARS.
3 R. R. I'Fforr1rnedieu.

The rain OF yesterday was just TO the
liking or the automobilists. It delayed
the start Of some of the proposed trips,
but after the sun came out it took up
the surface water and left the roads in
ideal condition. It laid all the dust,
without making II muddy going. There
has been rain in the air for some time
and now that IL has come the automo-
billsts may look for good long dry
spell. il the weather sharps Of the
yachting clubs are TO be believed
Each year about this time the yachts
men look for a little moisture from
above and when that comes they know
that there viii be a spell of bright
skies with light breezes.
The committee on organization of the
new touring club VIII finish its labors
this week and q meeting of all those
interested in the scheme will be held
the later part of this week or the first
OF next. There are several important
propositions that will come up for con-
sideration and the committee feels that
IL must get its report in as soon as pos

VANDERBILT TRIAL RACE.
The topic of conversation among the
sutomobilists yesterday was the run
ming Of the trial race Of the candidates
for the Vanderbilt cup race on Satur-
day. The general feeling, although the
time was not as fast as last year, is
that the outlook for capturing the cup
seems to be brighter. Taking the tour
ing events in which the foreign cars
have taken part the last three years as
an example, it is thought that the Am
erican cars this year will be keener
competitors. The only decision which
the local men cannot understand is how

AUTO TRADE PICKING UP.
The competition in the local automo-

There are several new agencies TO be
established very shortly. This will
mean that the agencies will be out
hunting customers instead of letting
them come to them as has been the
practice with some Of the managers.

With the establishment Of new agen-
cies and the sales Of so many cars there
has come the necessity for garages.
Among the new ones TO be established
viii be the Franklin and the Sunset

every particular.
Within the next thirty days many Of

BUSCH Is BEATEN
BY CHAMPION
M. LONG.

The tennis courts dried UP early in
the afternoon yesterday and as many
of those entered were present at the
California Club several matches were
played in the handicap singles tourna-
ment for the Judges Cup.
By far the best match of the day, and
one of the most interesting played on
the club courts in some time, was that
between Coast Champion Melville Long
and George Busch. The latter had a
handicap of owe 4-6 and made good
use of it. After winning the first set
easily and having a commanding lead
in the second set, Busch fell down
and was nosed out by the champion
With the score standing 6-3 and 5-3
4-3o, Busch looked sure win
ner. Long played with the same de-
termination that recently won the
championship, and, despite the odds,
won out.
At 81 Busch was again within a
point Of the set and match, but again
failed to win it. The second set was
one OF the longest on record. After
being behind most of the way, Long
finally won the set by score of I4-12
Busch was discouraged after losing
the second set and made little or no
effort to win the third. The ex-Mon-
tana champion was in great form and
played rings around the coast cham
pion early in the match. Longs steadi-
ness proved too much for his more
brilliant but erratic opponent The
champion deserves great credit for put
ting away as clever a player as Busch
with the odds allowed him.
Harold Gabriel had a strenuous time
in his match with Fry. The latter had
an unusually large handicap-30 and
owe 30-and nearly got away with the
match. Gabriel lost the first set by a
narrow margin, but steadied down in
the next two and just managed to win
out.
DR.. Lovegrove and Chester Smith met
on even terms and the latter was
beaten Smith managed to win a set.
but his condition told at the finish. The
doctor took the third and deciding set
easily.
Fletcher Elliott disposed of w. G..
Knowlton and DIR. Lovegrove. In each
case he allowed odds of owe 30 3-6.
Both matches went to Elliott rather
easily KnowltoR did not have as good
control of his terrific drive as usual
and proved an easy victim.
The following matches were played: |:

In the final shoot of the season M.
Iversen broke the coast record of 81
hluerocks out Of 100 established by j.
HolIing Iversen lost but two out Of
100, which is a remarkable perform
ance for an amateur, and he leaves
record which the experts will be shoot
ing at for some time.
Iversens work was a complete sur
prise to all present. as his work at the
traps this year had not been up to his
standard. He broke his birds sduarely.
and no matter how difficult the shot
was he did not seem to have any trou-
BILE in finding the target.
The Shields trophy was won by Nau-
man for the second time. Other win
ners have been Ed Schultz. Otto Feud-
ner and c. Terrill. The beautiful tro-
ply is now the property of Nauman.

HORSES OF CLASS
ARE TO MEET
in THE EAST.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-wtth the
match race between Roseben and Lady
Amelia at the Gravesend track on
Thursday and a proposed race between
Salvidere, Peter Pan. Ballot. De Mund.
Electioneer and Fountainblue at the
Brighton Beach track during the hrst
week Of October. there is much TO tn
terest the racegoers OF the East who
are fond OF Seeing the blooded horses
of America race.
The first attraction. II il is not the
first in point Of interest, Is the meet
ing between RoSeben and Lady Amelia.
Both horses are so fast and so popular
that the Brooklyn Jockey Club will be
more than reimbursed for its outlay
Of S2500 for the race. Each horse has
so many admirers that the races at the
Gravesend track are bound TO be illed
when both horses parade to the post
Roseben, it is expected. will go to
the post a favorfte in the betting He
has earned this preference by several
defeats of Lady Amelia. While he will
have the call in the betting, there will
not be much difference in this respect
between them, for the admirers of Lady
Amelia are many and loyal and they
will back her freely. Shaw will ride
Roseben and Miller Lady Amelia.
1t was the opinion of a majority of
turfmen today that Lady Amelia prob
ably would outrun Roseben a length or
so for the first half mile, but that
Roseben would gradually wear her
down from that point and beat her
home He is horse OF great courage
and will stand long. hard drive. The
mare is not courageous and likes to
run alone. In her races heretcfore she
has quit when challenged in the
stretch 1t is this lack of heart and
not her speed that probably will bring
about her defeat.

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 2S.-Manager
McCarey's Office nearly had an i'm
promptu mill between Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien and Tommy Burns this
afternoon. O'Brien and Burns encoun-
tered each other Saturday afternoon
when both were in q bad humor, and but
for the interference of witnesses a
rough house would have resulted
When Burns entered McCarey's Office
today OBrien was talking with friends.
Hello. O'Brien," said Burns, at the
same time Offering his hand. O'Brien
glanced coldly at Burns and replied:
Gentlemen are not in the habit Of
proffering their hands to takers and
nxers Of fights"
Burns grew white and came back this
way:
.Faker and hxer OF fights, you say?
Well. you needn't talk; you never
fought on the square in your life.
Every fight you went into was fixed or

Burns followed UP his harangue with

taken him along too gently, and while
he had the foot over every greyhound
he met. he lacked staying power.
1t was often said that he could af-
ford to lose some of his dazzling speed
to gain in staying power. This would
have made him a more evenly balanced
greyhound and would have enhanced
his reputation and increased his list
OF stakes won.
He left here at the top of his con-
dition and If he stands the trying rail-
way journey he should make all his
opponents step lively to beat him to
the hare.
Raby Aurora, also by Rocker-Fiery
Face, is expected to be among the big
money winners. She is hound of great
quality and much is expected of her
under the conditions which will exist
at the meeting.
The others in the string are:
Roman Actor (Roman Athlete-F Fiery
Face), Rocked Asleep (Rocker- Gallant
Foe), Ruby Athlete {Roman Athlete

lete- Fiery Face), Rear Admiral (Mc-
vey Fiery Face) The Rowdy (AIcvey-

lee-Golden Russell, Wildwood (Wild
Tralee-Golden Russet).
The Rowdy is, q big black puppy
which has shown promise in private
trials, but which has never started in
public The same is true of Wildwood.
All the greyhounds are bred to run.
Fiery Face, the dam of several of them,
is from the kennels of the Messrs. Faw-
cett in England. Their greyhounds
have won the Waterloo cup on many
occasions. Golden Russet was a fa-
nous performer on California fields and
is royalty bred.

ever bred in California. Roman Ath-
lete was a consistent winner on the
field and rounded out his career by
winning in bench shows. He was con-
sidered a perfect greyhound
