to say he was blessed with a hap
py thought, but whatever he had
or was blessed with, he used 1t,
and at the next committee meeting
announced the arrival of a letter
from Atty Thirteen, In which that
descendant of the Bourbon princes
allowed he'd be suffocated with
pleasure (provided some anarchist
didn't get him first) to loan his ia
BILE of ponies to the English team.
AS the Spanish king owns the
finest string of polo ponies in Eu-
rope the committee actually smiled.
Having the caballos, all they now
have to do is to find men capable
of riding them, and beat the Mead
owbrooks, to insure the return OF
the famed silverware.
When you read next summer
that birmingham and Meadow
brook are playing for the polo
championship, you will know that
an English team, mounted on Span
ish ponies, coached by two dukes
and a member of the house of lords
is playing for England.
Another light on the Meadow
brooks victory is furnished by B.
w. Nickalls of the dereated team,
who said: THE Americans hit
straighter than we can. In winter
we hunt, and they play tennis.
There is no better practice for polo
driving. II they got within SO
yards of the goal they made the

SHIPS TO FORECAST WEATHER

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 81
Wireless on the water may soon be
obligatory. Professor Willis L.
Moore, chief of the U. S weather
bureau, has urged the necessity of
adopting regulations which will
compel a ship beyond a certain
tonnage to carry wireless instru-
ments and operators to take at
noon, Greenwich time, daily OBJ
servation of the weather. OBSERVE
tions received by ship could be
transmitted to other vessels SO
that by means of such relays the
weather conditions over the entire
ocean would in few minutes reach
the central meteorological offices
in the United States, England,
France, Germany and other inter-
ested nations. Forecasts would
then be distributed to the vessels
by wireless telegraph.

The lad was conscious and talk

until an anaesthetic was admins

he was taken in an ambulance. He
died at a. m. today.
He had been playing in the rail
road yards all afternoon. Finally
he climbed on the top of coal car
with John Moran, age 81. He was
bumped off and struck the ground
on his head, his body falling across
the track. He was dragged $50
feet. His legs and the lower part
of his body were crushed.
Moran made an effort to save
young Corrigan's life, and ran along
the track, trying to pull his body
from beneath the wheels.
Father John McGoogan, St.

RAILWAY FIGHT
AGAIN POSTPONED

The many-cornered fight over the
Inland Empire railways applica-
ton for permission to change its
transfer track connection with the
Northern Pacific was postponed
last night by the city council until
September 20, at the urgent re-
quest of Attorney Dudley of the
Milwaukee road. The Spokane
Toilet Supply Co.. the Schade brew
cry, the city and at least two pri-
vate property owners are also in
terested in this move of the Inland.
The Milwaukee seems to be the
most vitality interested, as the
grade of the proposed transfer
track may affect their entrance
into the city to great extent. At
torney Dudley told the council that
his company was willing to meet
the Graves people half way, and an
effort will be made in the mean
time to adjust the conflicting in
terests of the two railways.

I
special Correspondence 60 The Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Poor old
England has had many jolts, but
the sauciest slap on ner sesamoid
bone was delivered when the
Meadowbrook team won the inter-
national polo cup. Not even the
recent fear of a German invasion
caused a greater sensation among
the titled fortune hunters than the
coming to this country of the
famed trophy.
Downcast but undaunted Eng
land is determined to regain her
prestige on the polo field. And
who do you think has come to the
rescue? No other than King AL
fonso of Spain. Not having his
ton and the nursery, he finds time
to start a lend-a-hand mission.
With Atty Thirteen as long as
their hearts beat are the dukes of
Westminster and Roxeburghe and
the earl of Lonsdale, who form an
advising and devising committee,
the sole al moi which is to invade
us with the best polo team England
can assemble.
Oh moicy! Imagine the hifalu-
tin doings Long Island is in for
when the monocled, stiff-backed
coaches arrive and begin supervis-
ing the serving Of tea and mar
malade to the players at regular
intervals. Westchester county will

Once there, Edward would not
permit the surgeon to give him
chloroform until his mother arrived.
He talked to her until he became
exhausted. She remained at his
bedside until he died. Sheh is now
in a critical condition from the
shock.
Edwards was the pet of the
neighborhood. "He was game"
said one of his little playmates, DE
