 Professional Wins Event for Professionals

Atlanta, June 7.-New Orleans today se- cured two victories in the Southern Golf Amateur championship race, which as sures her the two high honors tomorrow. Lawrence Eustis and Nelson Whitney, teammates of the Audubon club of New Orleans, will be pitted against each other in the 36-hole finals tomorrow. By a peculiar coincidence both men won today from Birmingham in the semi-finals. Eus- tis was pitted against Robert Thach, Jr., of Birmingham, defeating him up, to play. Eustis completed the round after winning today, and established the anna teur record for the course, making an s against Bogey 79. Whitney played W. P. Ward, also of Birmingham defeating him 3 up, to play. A close contest is anticipated for the championship, and while odds are not great on either man, Eustis seems tonight to be slightly the fa- vorite.

London June 1.-The first international horse exhibition held in England, an ex- hibition of horses similar in many re- spects to the Madison Square Garden shows, with the added interest that the competitors come from many countries, was opened at Olympia today and will continue for a week. The immense build ing was not large enough to house all the horses entered in the various clasesS and the stabling in the neighborhood has been utilized.
 Seats in the reserved sections are all ready at a premium, while all the boxes were taken for the season. Among the holders of the latter are A G. Wander bt, A. B. Maklay, H. S. Ladew, Clarence Moore, J. ogden Armour and G. E. Hulme.
 The morning events saw but one Amer ican horse in the ring, Sir Humphrey, a hackney stallion, the property of A Pabst of Milwaukee. and he carried everything before him, taking the first prize in the class for hackney stallions, 4-year-oldS and over, foaled in or before 1903 and standing 15.5 hands. Sir Humphrey won the champion gold cup presented by Sir John Kerr, for the best hackney stallion in the show.
 The American horses gave a good ac- count of themselves in the afternoon.
 Poetry of Motion, owned by Lawrence Jones of Louisville. Ky, took the first prize for ladies hacks, 14.2 and not ever 15.2 hands ridden by a lady, beating ir this class several entries from the sta bles of Alfred Vanderbilt and Walter Winans an American resident of Eng land. c. w. Watson of Baltimore, Md, although unable to win the prize for tandems was placed in reserve with Kit ty Grey, and Ringing Bellr, while Alfred Vanderbilt was also second with Sweet Marie and Watson. for horses under 5.2 shown in broughams.

Jim Parr who elaine the champion ship title of England, and whose pres ent headquarters is Birmingham will meet Jess Westergaard, the alleged cham pion of Denmark, in New Orleans to- night
 Just at this time New Orleans has gone mad over the wrestling game, and the wrestlers are saying any and everything anent their prowess. As has been stated before, Birmingham has seen them all, and readily knows when the fool pub lie" is being handed a lemon.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-06-08

Now, Westergaard is out in an inter- view to the effect that he has never met Parr on the mat. Locally, the wrestling following knows that Parr has met Wes- tergaard at least one time, and defeated him without much trouble. No doubt the match will be we'll worth seeing, but the result is foregone.
 One of the New Orleans papers, too, in commenting on the coming of Parr states that the Englshman defeated Farmer" Burns with ease. Be 1t said to the credit of Parr that his efforts to de- feat Burns, though positively futile, were commendable.

COMMISSION FOR LYNcHBuRG

Likely To Have One Similar to District
of Columbia Co ommissiOncrs.
LYNCHBURG, VA, September 1S.-
"A special committee appointed last
spring by the City Council to consider
tho question Of having the affairs Of
the city administered under a board.
after months OF study and considera-
ton OF the matter. has unanimously
decided to recommend to the City
Council that all OF the boards. except
Ing the school board. be abolished. and
that commission of three. with the
mayor as Its exc ficio head. be pro-
vided for by a Legislative amendment
to the city charter.
TT Is proposed to model the commits
sion largely after the commissioners
of the District of Columbia and all OF
the administrative functions of the
municipal government are to be left
to it.
The committee will also recommend
that the work of the Police Court be
separated from the duties ofFthe mayor
in order that he may give his full
time to other duties OF his office.
There is hardly a doubt that the recom-
mendations Of the committee will pre-
vail in both branches of the Council.
The commission cannot be provided for
until the General Assembly will amend
the city charter next winter.

section OF the United States.
While Colonel Taylor retired from
public life upon leaving the Virginia
Senate many years ago, there are
very few living Virginians who are as

and abroad. His early military train
ing and his four years of war service
as the adjutant-general of the Army
OF Northern Virginia and member
of the staff of General Robert E. Lee
gave him unusual equipment for the
successful organization and direction
Sof large undertakings and large bodies

There Were numerous and varied
surmses as to who would succeed Mr..
Barr rs director general. The name of
Mr.. Thomas S. SouthEate, the present
director of exhibits. and governor Of
exhibits under the "old regime and
who has been identified with the ex-
position from the beginning, was fre-

not he would assume the duties of
director-g general If they We're rendered

The resignation of j. NJ Barr as
Exposition Company has not caused
anything approaching delight at the
Treasury Department. 1t is believed
the Influence of the department will
be used to Induce the board to refuse
to accept the resignation and to cause
Mr.. Barr to reconsider. That the In
fluence of the department in the mat
ter Is great Is patent, since tile ex-5
position owes the government $780,
s0OO about $25O,0OO of which is over
due. The officials fear that the with
drawaI of Mr.. Barr may cause the
receipts to drop off. and will, there
fore, 1t is believed. try to prevent
this "swapping horses In the middle
OF q asstream."
+ Without reference to the merits of
the controversy between the presl-
dent of the exposition company and
the director general thereof, the fact
that Mr.. Barr, In a few weeks after
assuming the executive .headship OF
the enterprise, accomplished great
Of reducing running expensea and In.
creasing revenues, remains, ana this
has greatly influenced the department
OF the treasury, The full worth OF
Mr. Tucker in the place of president
Of the company, and In charge of the

appreciated. But, While an official Of
the department who discussed the mat
