American but also by Lunghi of Italy. and Braun of Germany.
 I've Disappolntmnts.
 The Americans suffered two disap- pointments In the heats Of the 200 meter fiat race. Lawson Robertson, Irish American Athletic Club, being defeated by Roche. the Irish cham pion. and ". ". May, University of Illinois, being compelled to take the dust of the fleet Canadian, Kerr. Con- siderlng. however, that the Americans entered seven of the fifteen heats and took i've of them, there is not much cause for complaint.
 In the heats of the 400 meters fat, they took seven out of nine in which they started. The two heats in which the lost in this event were won by Halswelle. who is considered the best man in England at the distance and who did the heat to-day in. 4s 2-5 seconds and Montague. the ex-cham- pion of England who beat Paul H. Pil- grim of the New York Athletic Club in 50 1-5 seconds.
 J. B. Taylor, Irish-American Ath- Ietic Club. the champion of the Unt- versity of Pennsylva nia, made his first appearance in this event and the re- narkable ease with which he ran was an eye opener to the. English critics. Taylor got a warm reception and won his heat easily. Rhyl of Cambridge. who had a waikover in this heat, had a somewhat similar stride to Taylor, but without the strength.
 The 100 metres sprint brought ou- the best aggregation of sprinters yet seen on the track and 1t was notioe- able that the only countries represent ed were Amrican. the United King dom. Canada and South Africa. The Americans, May. and Stevens lost their heat to Walker. of South Africa, and Kerr of Canada. Just beat our Sher- man of Dartmouth University. but the other two heats were gathered in for America by Rector and Robertson. Kerr. who is considered here to have a very likely chance In the finals, took n seconds for his heat. one fifth of a second more than either Walker U. Rector for theirs.
 There were four heats In the semi finals of the 100 meters hurdle race. in two of which Amrican contested. and they took both of them. Harry and J. c. Bacon, Irish-American A. C., to Great Britain and in both cases In lower time than that made by the Americans.
 F, Narganes. N. Y. A. C., and J. c. Craig. New York City. lost their bouts In the cateh.as-catch-ca wrestling and J. c. Keen, Brooklyn A. C.. failed qualify in the i,500 metres swim. six heats which were concluded.

Ills brother. Edgar H. Desporte, who followed on the next car. found Raphael lying dead In the hallway m pool of hfs own blood.
 That the suicide was determined is shown from the fact that he not oniy acquainted his brother with hts in- tention, but that prior to placing the revolver to his head, Raphael Des- porte fired a shot into the ceiling to make sure that the thirty-eight can- bre revolver which he used was in working order. Next placing the bar- rel of the gun in his right ear. he sent the bullet which ended his life. crash ing through his brain.

He had been devoted husband to his wife, who was never in her death he took to drinking heavily. Within the last week he had been go- ing a fast pace. the end coming after he had reported for duty at the place where he was employed. He was then considerably under the influence of liquor and was told that his services were no longer required.
 More liquor followed and when he met his brother, Raphael requested him to let him have his pistol. a request which was promptly refused. It was then he told Edgar that he fnfanded fa so home and shoot himself. Edgar could not get away for the moment and hence 1t was that Raphael managed to get to the house car ahead Of him.
