KING EDWARD TO
OFFER YACHTING TROPHY

JAMESTOWN Va, September 2.-F'rom
the most reliable source it Is learned that
King Edward of England has offered to
the jamestown exposition a yacht trophy
for the big International regatta that will
take place off jamestown next September.
His majesty had been approached by the
regatta committee early in the spring and.
although he was willing to donate a cup,
he did not care to have his intention made
public until the kings cup. which he had
offered last year for American yachting,
had been won.
just what the regatta committee will do
with the cup Is not, as yet. known. The
trophy has been given without any re-
strictions whatsoever. and it has been left
to the American Corinthians, who have
charge of the regatta. to form the rules
that will govern the deed OF gift.
In all probability King Edwards cup, as
the new trophy has been named to distin-
guish 1t from the kings cup. will be the
prize offered in the International Q class
championship race. q 1t Is said that the
cup win cost not less than 5000.

fact those Washingtonians who saw the
late Gen. E. F. Beales Prince Orion In MS
prime saw an almost physical reproductioi
of Hambletonian when at his pest, the
Prince being by son and out OF daughter
of the great progenitor of trotters. Ham
bletonian's tail was long and swept the
ground in his younger years ana many OF
his direct descendants possessed the same
characteristic. From whatever the angle
viewed he was a strongly made horse with
oblique shoulders. withers small, ribs we'll

peculiar point Of his conformation was that
he was higher behind. by two inches, than
in front. His knee and hook joints were

ever touched his fetlocks and yet they were
devoid of long hair.

his dam, Amazonia. a natural-born trotter
and a great road mare for her day. Her
breeding has never been satisfactorily es-
tabiished. On the other hand the Norfolk
trotter, Imported Bellfounded. sire Of the
dam of Hambletonian. was a round-bar-
relied, smoothly turned. bay horse with

These facts would indicate that whatever

liked his gameness and way of going, and
purchased him at a long price.
After wintering Finch at Macon he was
brought north again in the spring of 1906
by Mr.. Reave. At Tltusville. Pa, he
marched to a record of 2.15A. At the
Iitusville track he paced a mile with
Paulding Boy, 2.11. as runner up in 207Z
last quarter in O29, and this over a half
mile ring. At Clarksburg, w. Va, he
paced half in the mud in 2. 02I1 in a race
Mr.. OKeefe believes that by reason of his
breeding and performance he has a license
to pace mile in two minutes, and pro-
poses next season to give him a chance to
see what he can do over the big rings and
against the best PAGERS that will be sum-
moned to go down the big line.
Finch won two races during the season
of 1905, and has won five races up to date
this season. In other words, he has won
seven races out of eleven starts. He is a
very breedy looking animal, very hand
some and impressive in harness. and at
speed is like machine. He is always on
the pace and easy to rate. He can show a
2 80 clip at the trot, and could be easily
converted to that gait, as he is trotting

Finch. His price In $4,000.

GOSSIP FROM THE CAPITAL

Washington. Oct. IL Secretary
Root, who spent two days on the
Isthmus of Panama on his return
from his trip to South America. has
written a letter to the president
giving the results of his observations
of the work on the canal. The
amount of actual excavation done
and near Culebra cut, Mr.. Root
says. both gratifed and surprised
him.
The secretary expressed the opin-
ion that the time occupied in pre-
pairing for contracts for continuing
the work has not been excessive, or
that. especially in view of the fact
that the work has been vigorously
prosecuted in the meanwhile, there
is any ground for imputing any de
lay whatever to the managers of tho
canal construction.
"The greater danger in the way
of canal construction now seems TO
me-" he says, "to be lest the really
good and able men who are compe-
tent to handle 1t, and who can get
profitable employment elsewhere,
should be unwilling to continue I'm

misrepresentation and abuse"

effect that his information was that
