A REMARKABLE CONTRAST

The following from the New York
Sun, one of the leading Republican
journals of the country, draws Il sharp
contrast between the nominations of
Taft and Bryan. Every fair minded
citizen should read and study it:
To right minded citizens the manner
OF Mr.. Taft's nomination, likewise some
personal aspects of his candidacy, ought
to be the source of profound regret and
considerable alarm. In the course of
human events the time has not arrived
when it becomes necessary in the inter-
ests OF this republic that Chief Mag
IStratcs tenure of individual power
should extend chronologically beyond
the term for which he was chosen.
inheritance of Office, dynastic success
sion, government by substitute, are
words that express ideas abhorrent to
most Americans. The attempt to rule
Il whole nation through the corporeal
person or another is an impudent I'M
dertaklng on the part of the experi-
menter and humiliating in the extreme
70 the subject and medium. The pre-
tense OF personal responsibility for the
administration of public affairs for the
continuance of any ''policy" whatever
AFTER the eXpry of the peoples commits
sion and the bodily departure from
Once, is pure humbug. To all these
things Mr.. Roosevelt is blind; to ill
such things he was born mole eyed.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
PITTsFIELD 5. ABERDEEN 1.
Visitors Have Ginger. But It Fails to
 Pop for Results.

Pittsheld defeated Meriden, to l, on the common In Pittsfield yester- day afternoon in the fastest game played in the Berkshire city In two years. The nine-innings' battle last ed only one hour and eight minutes. The visitors were not in the swim from the beginning and although they displayed more ginger than the home nine, they could not find J. Ferry. The only run obtained by them came in the first inning, when the squeeze was attempted. Accor- sini failed to bunt the ball, but Mc- Donald dropped the throw and the runner was safe. He should have been tagged five feet. Plttsfield punched hits in the third and fifth innings, but two of the three runs in the sixth came by way of the delayed steal. The visiting catcher seemed at sea when 1t came to getting run ners. The features consisted of the hitting of Bronkie, who drove in two runs, and the base stealing of Nc Donald. Noonan had three hits out of four times up.

THE BICYCLE RACE.
Six Teams Gain Lap on the 9th.

CTS.
 The monotony of the two-hour a night six-day bicycle race was brok, en at Madison Square garden last evening when, for 20 minutes, there was continuous sprint by the 12 riders.
 At the end of the sprint six of the teams, Clarke and Lawson. Mayer and Anderson, Kramer and Bedell. Mcfarland and Downing, Moran and Root, and Collins and Logan had gained lap. The other six teams trailed a lap behind. Kramer and Bedell are one lap behind the five leading teams.
 Floyd Krebs jumped out of the bunch of riders and dashed to the front. shortly before II o'clock. t
 Eddie Root was the first one Of the riders to awaken, and he sprint ed after Krebs. The others followed in single file, with Clarke close to Roots rear wheel.
 As the leading trio drew away from the other nine riders the part ners of the rear guard got on the track and inch by inch began to overhaul the leaders. It was the signal for a general sprint, which furnished the best riding of the week.
 Oscar Goerke, of the National A. G., sprinted away from a dozen fast amateur riders in the mile handicap and won the event, with J. B. flaw kins second and Gus Purden third. The winners time was 2m 1 4-5s.
 George Cameron won the heat for the scratch men from Charlie Stein. Stein made the pace, but Cameron overhauled his clubmate and took first place by few inches. Gamer on's victory qualified him for the final.
 But Cameron conceded big handi, caps to the other starters and in the final he could not overcome the advantage. Goerke, the winner, had handicap of 60 yards, Hawkins started from the 130-yard mark and Purden from the S0-yard limit.
 John Brewer won the half mile handicap for negroes. He had a handicap of SO yards. Earl Adams of Montclair, N. J.. who started from scratch, was fighting 1t out at the finish with the winner. Hardy Jack son, handicapped at 20 yards, was third. The time of the race was I'm, 3-5s.

AMERICA LIKES ABRUZZI.

Surely the Paris correspondents
 who say that the queen dowager of Italy objects to the proposed Abruz-
 zi-Elkins match because the Duke of
 Abruzzi has been cartooned by the
 American press as a fortune hunter,
 have stretched their imaginations
 Granting that she is. woman of av-
 craze mental caliber, the objection could hardly be made. It is not the
 fault of either of the interested par
 ties that a few of the American news papers have been humorous at their expense. and, moreover, there is probably no intelligent American who does not entertain the kindliest feelings toward the Duke of Abruzzi If he except his rivals for Miss Elkins's hand-and wish him sue cess. The Duke. of Abruzzi is the most popular European nobleman who has visited America recently.
 He is admired for his achievements as a mountain climber and explorer His traits of character. so far as they are known in this country, are those that make an American popular, and. the fact that he has a title of ex- ceptional importance in Europe does not cause anyone on this side of the ocean to think less of him. A num- Der of European noblemen have given their class bad reputation in Amer lea, but the American public discrin- mates between duke who Is a man and a duke who is merely duke. A vast majority of Americans would like for this country to havs Abruzzi as son-in-law. if for no other rea- son than that 1t would be satisfying to contrast him with a number of other husbands of American heir esses who reflect sadly upop the Eu-l ropean aristocracy and whose sue cess in marrying American dollars reflects upon the intelligence of rich Americans, and throws their toady- ism to titles into high relief.-Eou- a-yiile Courier Journal.
