WITH THE SPORTS.

Glory be! We are to have some
real ball games, if the signs don't fail.
Dad Gimlin is getting together an
aggregation of base ball players and
is coming down to Salt Lake to knock
the tar out of our ball players. DIT
bel says he can't beat the Tai'ors,
and there you arc. A schedule is to
be fixed up and the fans entertained
for the remainder of the season.
A match has been arranged be-
tween Joe Cans and George Memsic.
The scrap will take place at Los An
geles on August 10, the men to weigh
in at 1873 pounds, and Jim Jeffries
will referee the bout. Cans IS to
receive $1,000, win, lose or draw
but there is not much worry on the
part of his hackers about his losing.
They figure it is little easy coin.
1t now seems almost certain that
Sir Thomas Upton will challenge the
New York Yacht club for series of
races off Sandy Hoax, in an endea-
vor to carry the cup back to Eng
land, you know Thomas is anything
but a gutter.
A movement has been inaugurated
by the Western Golfer looking to
revision of the rules of the game
A revision, or rather an official in
depreciation of the rules, would please
a number of the Salt Lake golf en-
thusiasts.
Bobby Watthour, the recognized king
of pace followers, is to compete with
the riders at the Salt Palace track.
Bobby will find that he is not up
against a set of dubs now, and will
have to go his best gait to keep up
with our speed merchants.

Kramer has proved himself the
cock OF the walk down at the Salt
PaIace track, his latest feat being
the lowering of Samuelson's colors
III an unlimited pursuit race. Many
OF the wise ones thought the New

There isn't a hat in town large
enough to fit any member of the Oc-

BURBANK,s REAL MERITS.

.s . Eastern and European Readers Have
 Gained Impressions Unfair
 In this period of rapidly-changin conceptions and steadily broadening in- terests 1t is unsafe for q man to pub fish his personal views concerning such parts of the new combined science as lie beyond his own experience. Of course he must have some conception of the results and theoretical ideas in the different departments, and the bet ter he develops it. the more 1t will aid him in his own work. But whenever publication is not absolutely necessary in order to show the concordance. of all our biological knowledge with some newly-disoovered principle such, con- captions must be considered as of per sonal value only; otherwise their pub lication may easily lead to a false ap preciation of a mans real merits.
 In some magazine articles upon pop ular books, the authors, needless of these principles, hae given rise to much misunderstanding of the merits of Bur bank by certain amount of effusiye- ness and unconscious exaggerating. Tn many If these cases it is evident to the scientific readers that the author was not as scientist himself, and it remains an open question whether the incorrect and sometimes absurd statements must be imputed to the author of the article Or to Burbank. The main impression, however, has not been favorable to Burbank, especially among eastern and European readers More than once, in personal conversation, I noticed a cer- tain doubt as to the validity of Bur- banks scientific ideas and even as to his right of giving an opinion on scien- tifc discoveries. It became apparent to me that much injury had been done to the reputation of a man who has contributed largely to the wealth of his nation and other countries, and who has, in his lifetime, rediscoveref and introduced into American horticulture, many of the leading principles of plant breeding which, though known in Eu- rope, were as yet lInsuspeeted in America.
 | In some eases, direct statements have been made which have lessned the ap- preciation of Burbanlx's merits by sci- entific readers, precisely by the endea- vors to give to his work a scientific significance, which in reality 1t has not. It has been contended, for instance, that Burbank overthrow the Mendelian laws that he opposes the theory of mu- tation, that he has proved the inheri- tance of acquired characters, and as- sumes the natural species originate by means of crossing. Everybody knows, however, that he is not engaged In spe- cial scientific Investigations concerning these points, and it is only natural that the conclusion has been drawn that he has no right to pledge his great name in favor of the opinions he is re- ported to defend. d.-CentuFy.

Basketball Team to Play Branford
 Team To-Night.
 The Yale Rangers basketball team will play the strong Branford team this evening in the town hall of that city. The rangers, who are mostly members of the junior class of the Sheffield Scientific school are pretty fast and ex- pect an easy victory tonight They have lost but one game this season and have an excellent record, The Bran ford team has played more games and will have the advantage of playing in a hall which they are accustomed to while the Yale boys will be at a disad- vantage in this respect. Captain Hart and Manager Donnelly have announced that the men are in tiptop condition. A large delegation of Sheffield students will accompany the team. After the game there will be dancing. The team will probably leave on the 6:4S car at State and Chapel street.

DE WOLF HOPPER IN HAPPY
 LAND"

Every Seat Taken for Last Nights
 Show at the Hyperion Wang by
 the Same Company This Evening.
 De Wolf Hopper and the opera "Happyland" but principally De Wolf Hopper-was the Washingtons birth day attraction at the Hyperion last evening. The opera itself was one of the weakest that has visited New Ha- ven this season, but was bolstered up by strong company, which seconded Mr. Hopper in carrying out distinct ly successful performance, The music is by Reginald De Koven, who has done many better things. Frederic Rankin wrote the book, which, broadly speak ing, is no good. All the lines worth while have been swept up into MT. Hopper's part, and the rest of the cast suffered accordingly.
 The plot is of the ordinary cut-and- dried comic opera order. and is almost as diaphanous as the costumes. The music, while nothing to brag about, Is always tuneful, sometimes catchy, and occasionally worth carrying away with one. The best of the songs were Rob- in" by Marguerite Clarke, who made a charming little leading woman; "The Night Before sung by De Wolf Hop per; What Is the Difference?" anoth- CT of Miss Clarke's songs, and How l Love Flowers, rendered by MT. Hop- per and William Danforth, who gave it in way to crumple your diapragm with howls of laughter. The best thing in the whole show, however, was De Wolf Hoppers curtain speech at the end of the first act. He responder to repeated calls with characteristic rambling spiel that contained more jokes, witticisms and good things gem erally than his play did. If MT. Hop per ever falls down in the comic opera line, though you needn't fret yourself over the possibility that monoRgue of his woul5 be good any time, for an easy eighty a week in vaudeville.
 On the wholethe show made decid- ed hit, and there was no one in the audience who regretted going; but it would be easy to foretell the fate of "Happyland" if anything shoul1 hap pen to De Wolf Hopper.
 Every seat in the house was sold for ''Happyland, which is the kind of a reception that Wang" MT. Hopper's show for this evening, ought to get"

sMoKB-Rry1NEp BUILDINGS.

Coal smoke Is having a disastrous ef- feet upon some of the most famous old buildings in England. The well-knownN ecclesiastical architect w. D. Caroe, writes to the London press to direct at tention to the damage done by this agent to Canterbury cathedral, which has been brought within its influence within comparatively recent times. An official report was made upon the structure thirty years ago, in which 1t was stated that the great Angel Tow CT was in so good a condition that 1t would need no repairs for many years to come. In those thirty years, howey- CT, the increase of coal smoke in Can terbury has brought it, so it Is repor- ted, to an advanced and dangerous condition of decay and dilapiation. The can and chapter have spent about | fifty thousand dollars upon absolutely necessary repairs of three of it's faces, and Mr. Caroe has just made a detailed examination of the ren1aining-the east side. Casually examined from a dis

The stone is to no small extent rotten be- hind the crust, and analysis shows that | this condition is entirely due to the ac- ton of coal smoke. Very costly repairs | are inevitable. Mir Caroe writes;
 When we have spent all this money we shall, 1t is true, have retained the form of this great conception, as well as modern care and skill can preserve it, but the glomor of the whole possession of the ancient handicraft, quite the most perfect in many respects it has been my fortune to see, is gone forever, and all through the fouling of the air by modern methods or the lack of them. For, while science can be ap- piled effectively to the prevention of coal smoke from histories, no known science can rescue stonework from the conditions have described. The law, too, is on the side of reason in smoke prevention. It needs only to be put in motion by the local authority" OOth- CT parts of the cathedral are suffering no less serious injury from the same cause.-New York Evening Post.
