Paris to Pekin
by Automobile

Berlin. Aug. 5.-Prince Sciplon
Borghese. the leading contestant in the
Pekin- Paris automobile race, which
was started from the Chinese capital.
June 10, arrived here at 5 o'clock TINS
afternoon. Four automobiles with
deputation of the Imperial Automobile
Club and members of the Italian col
Ony met the prince at Muencheberg, ~
miles east of Berlin, and escorted MN
to a hotel on Under Den Linden,
where a crowd Of some hundreds oil
people was in waiting to cheer his ar
rival.
The prince Immediately called for
bath and said he had intended to
push on to Paris tomorrow morning,
but had decided to accept an invitation
to be present at luncheon to be CIV
en- in his honor by the Imperial Au-
tomobile Club and a dinner to be
given by the Italian colony tomorrow
evening.
Prince Borghese crossed the Ger
man frontier at Eydtkuhnen Sunday
morning and there parted from his
Russian escort. At the frontier he
was met by party of automobilists
from the Koenigsburg Automobile
Club, who proceeded with the prince
to KOenigsburg.
The trip to Berlin was without Incl
dent except that the prince received
an ovation all along the route. He was
accompanied most of the way by au-
tomobilists belonging to clubs be-
tween koenigsburg and Berlin.

GLADE A NATURE FAkER.
Fast st. Louis Player Has Some Won
derful Stories to Tell.

Fred Glade of the ST. Louis club is
native of a nifty little place called
Grand Island, Neb. According to Fred
they have queer happenings at times
out in his bailiwick.
Two seasons ago Fred was telling Of
lightning storm which playfully blew
into town, and while wandering up and
down the village street happened to
spy through an open door young lady
seated at her mclodeon, and engaged
in grinding out melodies. Not even
hesitating, this chcsty storm entered
that peaceful abode and circled about
the head of the village maiden with so
much force that it drove the hairpins
clear down into her brain. killing the
fair musician instantly.
Glade used to tell this story with
tears and at the risk of putting dents
in his reputation as person of
veracity, for brutal players used to
hurl harsh sayings at him when he
would spiel about the musically in
clined maiden who met so hard fate.
Glades latest narrative is in line
with the popular nature stories. which
have been SO well advertised through
the recent controversy between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the Rev. William
Long.
The members of the st. Louis and
Washington clubs We're discussing this
unpleasantnesS while seated out in
front of the Planters Hotel during the
Nationals last trip west, when Fred
Glade, taking a hitch in his belt strap,
said:
Il don't know which of these men is
a nature faker. but do know that any
man who studies animals and their
habits closely will come in for a good
many surprises and will notice things
that will not only amaze himself, but
will also cause his word to be
questioned at times, when he relates
to his acquaintances some of the
things which he has seen with his own
eyes"
These opening remarks caused all to
sit up.
Now, out in the vicinity of my home
few years back" continued Fred, as
he proceeded to light a cigar, Il was
out hunting one day, when my atten-
ton was attracted by the terrific
squealing of hog. The agoniZing
sounds coming from the direction of
the river caused me to hurriedly make
my way III that direction.

MANY ENTRIES RECEIVED.

Will Compete at Quaker City.

New York, Aug. 5.-Entries for the
national regatta next Friday and
Saturday at Philadelphia We're opened
and passed upon by the regatta COM
mittee Of the National Association Of
Amateur Oorsmen Sunday at special
meeting at the New York A. G. In all,
there are 46 on the list, fact which
means that the meet should be sue
cessful.
The event to attract the most con-
testants is the intermediate single
sculls, and nine husky chaps, repre-
senting the leading rowing centers, will
test each others mettle.
Another event to fill even beyond
expectations is the intermediate dou-
bles, which has drawn eight crews
seven from the States and one from
Canada, the Don r. c. of Toronto.
Seven crews are down for the senior
doubles, including such crack COM
binatiOns as the Bachelors Barge
Club, Nassau 3. c., New York A. e.
and Metropolitan r. c.
For the championship singles the
names of such well-known scullers as
Shepherd, Greer, Juvcnal and Ben

field, and it win be remembered that
last year he won the association event
in time several seconds faster than
Titus made in the championship. AS
he has retained his form, he will be
a hard man for the vets to dispose
of, and there are not a few who hint
that he will take the measure Of both

HE'S A DANDY.
Harry LumIey is One Of the Best
Swatstick Artists in the Game.

One Of the greatest batsmen now play
ing baseball is Harry Lumley Of the
Brooklyn Nationals. Some OF the veteran
fans hold him to be the best slugger in
the history of baseball. Others champion
the cause Of Hans Wagner, the Fi1tsburg
shortstop, as the real and only thing at
the bat. The fight between Luniley and
Wagner for the leadership in National
League batting has been fast and furious.
Lunley is perhaps the most valuable
asset of the Brooklyn organization. He
has practically pulled the team out Of the
mire during his several years of heavy
batting. Half dozen other cluts have
offered big prices for Brooklyn's prize
slugger, bat Brooklyn smiles and holds
fast to Harry. Some of these offers rep
resent a sum of money that would buy
outright some of the minor league teams.
Chicago, New York, Cincinnati and Pitts
burg have tried in vaine to lure Lumley
into their midst.
In addition to being hard hitter Lum-
ley can run bases like 4 thoroughbred. In
the outfield. his playing position being the
right field, he more than keeps up his end
of the game.
