There will be a big double race for
professionals at the Newark Velo-

the riders are to be divided into two
groups and there win be separate trial
heats and a final for each group, with
four purses of the regular amoun for
each group. This will assure eight men
of a slice of money in this one race,

up a fast fight. but both lacked the

OBrien started right in and landed
hard with his left. The negro shot out
rights and lefts and O'Brien slipped to

Jack danced around for a momen and

clinched. O'Brien continued to jab the

HAMS RRRAlGNED.
Brother of Annis's Slayer Has Record
as a Killer.

New York, Aug. 17.-Captain Peter C.
Hams, Jr, u. S. A who shot and
killed William E. Annis on Saturday
at the Bayside Yacht club was today
arraigned in the First district court in
Long Island, before Magistrate Mat
thew ]. Smith. Arraigned with the
captain was his brother. T. Jenkins
Hams. who kept back the crowd with
a revolver while his brother carried
out his vengeance on the man who, he
asserted, had ruined his home The
two men were yesterday taken from the
Flushing police station, where they had
been confined the night to Long Island
City.
In court the brothers showed little
concern over their predicament. As
counsel for the men had not arrived
the hearing was postponed until today
and in the meantime the Hams broth
ers are being kept in the Queens coun-
ty Jail. T. Jenkins Hams, who was
first held on a charge of attempted
felonious assault was later charged
with being an accessory to the killing
of Annis. Before the arraignment to-
day Harvey c.. Rockwell, who had been
close friend of William Annis, the
slain man, turned over to the district
of letters recently received by Annis
in which he was warned that his life
was in danger. 1t was said that the
last letter he received cautioned him
against visiting the Bayside Yacht
club on Saturday.
Since the shooting it has been learned
that T. jenkins Hams was tried in
1891, on homicide charge, when he
was 20 years of age. He was accused
of having shot Edward Hannegan. a
friend, to death. while the two were
out in boat off Old Point Comfort.
Hams was acquitted by jury on the
plea of self-defense. General Porter G..
Hams, father of the young men, was
in court today looking after the inter
est of his sons. Yesterday young Mrs.
Hams, who it is said. had been on
terms of close friendship with Mrs.
Annis. wife of the slain man. came hur-
riedly to New York. from her home in
Winthrop. Mass, and went to Fort
Hancock on Sandy Hook, in an effort
to get possession OF her three children
who have been living with General and
Mrs. Hams. Mrs. Hams did not sue
coed in her mission and it was believed
that she left the city for her fathers
home in Massachusetts.
The body of William Annis was re-
: moved yesterday to his former home in
| Claremont avenue. Manhattan. Mrs
| Annis was completely Frustrated by the
| killing of her husband. and is under
the constant care of physicians.

ALL WANT ROOSEVELT.
Steamer Lines Compete for Job OF
Carrying the President.

New York, Aug. 17.-Although it
will be many months before President
Roosevelt and his party start on their
hunting trip. to Africa, the question as
to what route he will take is already
agitating every big steamship line
whose steamers leave this port.
THE presidents business" as the
steamship men call it. IS eagerly
sought, and the steamship lines are
willing to go to almost any length TO
have the honor of transporting the
president across the North Atlantic.
While most of the companies nave
been content with playing waiting
game, two of the PASSENGER lines, IT Is
said, have written to the president,
Offering inducements and asking for
the honor of carrying the hunting
party on one of their steamers.
Many of the lines would be willing
to tear out partitions and practically
make over suites to accommodate the
president and those with him. 1t is
also believed that some of the steam
ship companies would even be willing
to change the course of vessel IN
order to land the presidents party at
some desired port. This, it is pointed
out, does not apply to vessels In the
express service or carrying the mail
nag, but to one Of the slower steamers

NOVELTY IS NOW OPEN.
Starts the Season With an Entertain
ing Vaudeville Show.

There's bound to be at least one good
theatrical entertainment in town to-
night. And it almost goes without say
ing that it will be at the Novelty thea
ter. which reopened for the season with
a matinee for this afternoon. This bill
which Mr.. Wells has secured for the
opening week proved on it's presenta-
ton this afternoon to be all that could
be desired in the way of a vaudeville
show, and considering the fact that
the weather was. several degrees more
than warm, there was a fair sized
crowd on hand this afternoon for the
opening performance.
Had the people realized what cool
place the Novelty really, is the place
would probably have been jammed
equipped with a most modern ventilat-
ing plant. There are fans and exhausts
in the ceiling and in the floor which
makes it possible to keep a current of
air ever on the go in the house and this
air is cooled by being blown through an
ice box sort of an affair in the cellar.
So no matter if the warm weather
continues the Novelty, afternoon and
evening will be one of the coolest
places in town.
All kinds of good fun is provided by
three of the acts on this weeks bill
and the most interest of course CEN
tiers in the comedy sketch The Hold
Up" presented by Wilhelma Francis
John Dunn and company, because Miss
Francis is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs j. T. Price of this city and has
many friends here. She is a capable
actress and is bound to be big draw
ing card at the Novelty this week. The
other acts on the bill are skit called
THE Car Ahead Is Behind" which is
given by lie Marie and Kings. the well
known comedians; the old Fields in a
musical comedy sketch called Mis-
taken Identity" and Herbert Bert Len
non in representations of famous ac-
tors. Moving pictures and illustrated
songs round out the good show.
From the advance sale of seats there
will likely be record breaking crowd
out tonight for the first evening per-
Torrance of the season. There will be
two shows tonight to better accommo-
date the crowd. the first one begin
ming at o'clock and the second at
