SPORTING BRIEFS.

Paris July 20.--At a regular meeting of the sporting committee of the Auto club of France here to-day, proposl- ton to abandon the Grand Prlx, which was advocated by Marquis de Dion, president of the Auto club, and his friends on the ground that contest for specially constructed racing ma- chimes with the almost invariable att tendant accidents and loss of life was not justified from the standpoint, of either sport, or as test of the merits of machines manufactured for the pub lie, was informally discussed, but a decision was postponed until the De- cember meeting.
 Tho preponderance of sentiment at the meeting seemed. strongly oppsed to the abandonment of the blue ribbon of the automobile world until the French have an opportunity to retrieve the dis astrous defeat of July T. when the event was won by German car.
 London, July 20.--The Gentlemen of Philadelphia were defeated in their match against the Middlesex eleven al Lords to-day by seven wickets. The visitors only succeeded in running up a meager 5S in the first innings and 55 in the second, a total of 113 runs, The home players scored 92 in the first in- nngs, and succeeded in passing the Philadelphans' total with the loss of but three wickets in the second.
 Trenton, July 2o,--Connie Mack manager of the Philadelphia Athletics is dickering with Colonel Lewis Per rins, the local baseball magnate, fol the purchase of the Trenton Fri State league club and franchise. Mack and Jimmy Collins have had several confer ences with Perrine, and the deal i. likely to go through Perrine prefers to dispose of the club to local parties but efforts to raise sufficient Trenton capital to complete the deal have thu far proved futile. Local fans believe that Mack will buy the club for tht reason that 1t would give him an oppor tunity to develop the majority of hi young players near home. With good team the city Is a money-malxer which was demonstrated last seaso, when Trenton was the only city in th' league to show profit. Manager Car ney has been having hard time ' make both ends meet during the pas few weeks although the club is sai to be about even on the season.

eddy about the fifty-sixth degree Of
west longitude and between the twen-
ty-second and twenty eighth degrees OF
north latitude. There Is a great differ
ence Of opinion regarding the origin OF
this floa ting mass. Some believe 1t to
be detached from rocks at considera-
BILE depth in the latitude where it
floats. Others suppose it to come from
the shores of the northern seas, having
been detached from the rocks by the
violence of the winds. Some again I'M
agine that it comes from the rocky
shores of Florida and Mexico, while
many others agree with me in believ-
Ing that it has never had any other
than its present place of abode. No
one has ever seen it attached to rocks,
aor have roots ever been discovered
belonging to it,
