superb match in the morning. Cav was
defeated in the third round in the aft
ernoon by A. V. Hambro,
Gaw's match with Simpson was one
of the sensations of the tournament.
The American showed brilliant golf
from the start, making the first nine
holes in thirty-four strokes and stand
ing two up. Simpson squared the match
on the eleventh green. Gaw's putting
was the most brilliant feature of his
match. He ran down a thirty-foot put
on the twelfth hole and on the next
green made a ten-foot put. Simpson
squared the game again on the six
tenth hole. Cav holed another long
put for a half on the seventeenth. and,
the home hole being halved, the match
ended even Playing the nineteenth,
Cav seemed beatsn, for Simpson had
the better position on the green, but a
grand thirty-Yard put saved the Amer
lean, the hole being halved. The next
two holes were halved, but accurate
putting gave Cav the twenty-second
hole and the match. Gaw's putting was
considered by many of the golfers SUI
perior to that shown by Travis when

Rounds.

John Bendokus, the local scrappek.

rounds. Bendokus worked his right
with great effect, While Manning was
stabbing his left to Bendokus's y with
success. 1t was a good fight from start
to finish, and a draw would have suited
the large audience had a decision been
rendered.
Bendokus was offered a match In

l25 ENTRIES FOR
$4,000 STAKE At
READV|LLE TRACK
Best TrOtting Horses in America
Are Nominated to Start
in Big Event.

The entries for the $50, 900 American
trottlng Derby, which is to be run at
the ReadVille track on August %, have
closed. Great interest is being taken in
the outcome of the race; some of the
pest horses on the American track to-
day, and some of the stars of former
: years will be seen in competition for
the first time.
one of the horses that will return to
the track after an absence of years is
Thomas w. Lawson's Boralma, which
was the sensation of the American trot-
ting world a few years ago.
NO stake or purse in trotting horse
history ever approached half the
amount which the New England gentle
men decided to give to the winner of
the race.
1t had a right to expect $50 nominal
tions to the grand prize offered and on
such liberal terms. The entries closed
with just half that number.
The conditions of the race are these:
A purse of $780, 00. open to all trotters,
for a dash of IL miles. standing start,
the slowest rating to be 2:15, such
horses to start from the post, the
handicap to be one of distance of fifty
feet more for every SECOND of known
speed, the payments to the purse to be
in instalments of 500 for the first
three payments. and 5000 for the last
or final payment, nearly two weeks be-
fore the race.
The first payment amounts to $12, 800.
1t is fair to suppose that all nominal
tors will make the second, and that a
hundred will make good on the third,
n that or the final payment sixty
horses will declare in with 5000 each,
n total of $4,000 for the purse, leaving
only a deficit of $4,000.

CENSUSBUREAUCLERKS
PRESIDENT URGES RESORT TO
CIVIL SERVICE METHODS.

In a message to the House Of Repre-
sentatives today President Roosevelt
urged that in preparing for the work OF
taking the next census the four thousand
dditional employees needed be appointed
the rules Of the civil service COM
mission and strongly denounced the PA
tronage system" Of making the appoint
ments. saying that the civil service com.
mission was fully capable OF securing
a most efficient force.
The non-competitivc examination used in
selecting the force at Washington Of the
last two census. the President said. served
only "as cloak to hide the nakedness Of
the spoils system" Such examinations,
he declared. were useless as checks upon
patronage appointments.
The President declared that the great
majority OF the clerical employees ofthe last
two censuses were Tar below the average
ability. and that statistics show that only
were employed IN the last two censuses
were able to pass the competitive exauai-
nations under the civil service rules.
They prevent he said, the most in.
competent from being appointed. but they
do not secure the appointment Of the most
competent, and they AFFORD no check upon
political appointments,
The President said 1t Is idle to say that
such examinations are fair, "for the un.
fairness and favoritism come. in In the
choosing OF the men who shall be allowed
to try them"
said. "wIll NOT merely hamper ana delay
the economical and ef1caent taking Of the
census, but will impair the belief Of the
public in Its honesty"
