DEMOCRACY LOSING IT'S GRIP ON
~ "A THE OLD DOMINION.

There Is every Indication that In the
, not distant future Virginia will break
away from Its Democratic moorings
and launch out on the great Republic:

That Virginia Is promising ground
& for Republican, effort Is we'll enough
known, hut the primary run between
Mann and Tucker for the gubernato-
rial nomination shows how a clash In
1 the Democratic party might lead to
!. Republican success. The uncertainty
.:of the. outcome of the contest until
the eleventh hour not only increased
the excitement OF the poll. but gave

factors In the campaign. The Rcpuht
i$$licans have much encouragement to

The large degree OF political lnde'

the people on the fine good will. the
strong common sense appeals and the
excellent spirit Of Mr.. Taft in relation

AT the time the south generally is
awakening to political opportunities.
and Virginia Is seemingly ripe for the

3. A. A. GAMES.
Harvard-CorneIl Relay Race the Fea.
ture at Boston Saturday.


Followers of track athletics from all
parts of New England will flock to
Boston Saturday night. where the an
nual indoor games Of the B. A. A. are
to be held
The entry list is one of the largest
since these games were started, and
an unusually strong list OF relay races
has been arranged.
The fact that FTarI ard and Yale VIII
not meet in a relay race will detract
considerably from the interest of the
games, as the event between the Grim
son and Blue had become a fixture and
was regarded as a feature of the
games. The two colleges could not
agree on the distance that each man
was to run, and the event was called
off.
The feature race will be the one be-
tween Harvard and Cornell. The run
ners will each run three laps, or 900
yards, and this greatly favors >Har-
ward, as she has an exceptionally fast
lot of indoor quartermilers If the men
were to run twice the distance, Cor
nell would be the favorite. but the
Ithacans can hardly hore 10 defeat the
Crimson team, whose runners know the
track and it's treacherous corners
Brown viii send eight men to the B.
A. A. games Saturday. Mayhem, Hair
tigan, Young, Jarvis and Newell will
compete in the 40 yard dash; Mayhew
Young and Leith in the As yard hur-
dies; Mahoney in the 500 yards run.
and Hunt in the 1000 yards run. The
relay team will be made up Of Nav.
hew, Hartigan, Young and another run
ner yet to be chosen.
Other than the college athletes sew.
eral stars from the large athletic clubs
will compete in the track and field
events. Harry Trube, formerly of Cor
nell. will represent the New York A.
c. in the distance runs, Con. Leahy of
Ireland will appear in the high iump.
and Louis Tewanina, the Carlisle In
dian, will start in the long race. Harry
Gissing, who has defeated Mel Shep-
pard in a scratch race, will start in
the middle distance runs and A. p.
Shaw, the former Dartmouth hurdler.
will also be on hand for the high
stocks.
Frank Irons of Chicago, the winner
lof the broad jump at the Olympic
games in London last summer, has
sent word that he win come to the
games to compete in the high jump
and the invitation 40 yards dash.
Irons has jumped over six feet.
Yale will send several individual en-
tries. who will compete in the open
events. and Pennsylvania and Column
bia will have individuals as well as
relay runners.
Carlisle will send four or five ath-
letes and nearly every college in New
England will be represented The re-
lay races, and invitation events will
attract the greatest interest and the
attendance Is expected to be as great

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
VERY DULL MARKET.
Dealings Largely ProfessionaI-chary
Of Risking Short Sales.

New York, Feb. 2.-The stock mar
ket today was largely a professional
affair and it was ruled largely by
technical considerations. The profess
sional element was chary of risking
short sales in view Of yesterdays dem
onstration of the small liquidation in
duced by the considerable decline of
last week. That decline, in fact, had
built up short interest of consider
able proportions and the room traders
found a fulcrum in the necessities of
these uncovered shorts. for lifting
prices. They worked therefore on the
long side of the market. There was
nothing to show that these operations
were supplemented in any important
way by general outside demand for
stocks. The market was duller at
times during the day than any other
time since the first of the year News
developments were not important and
such as there were showed a mixed
complexion in the bearing on securi-
ties values. Some Importance was at
tached to a sharp advance in the price
OF copper warrants in the London mar
ket, the first that has occurred in
many days. during which the price of
the metal went internationally down

the advantage OF this showing and the
effect was reflected here, though news
was lacking to show any vital change
In the situation in the copper industry,
in which no demand has yet developed

of output from the mines. From the
iron trade came intimations of a shad-
ing of foundry iron prices which were
dwelt on rather as symptoms than
from any Importance in the transac-
tons themselves, which were small, as
reported. The iron and steel industri-
ais. however, were higher in the mar
ket. News coming to hand that might
bear an Interpretation unfavorable to
values seemed to be ignored. More Sc
rious attention was given in current
financial discussion to the supreme
court decision against the claim of the

debt which seems to outlaw claims of
such organizations against their debt
ors. A cut in freight rates out Of Bal

Local baseball fans and friends of

writes:
Ormond Beach, Fla, Jan. 81, 1909.
Sporting Editor Norwich Bulletin:
Dear Sir-I want to drop you line
from here, where am for the winter.
l have been here since Jan. 6, and we
have had nice weather up to yester-
day, when it came off cold. Hope it
will not last more than a day or two.
The orange crop seems to be a good
one this year, and that means a good
zeal for the growers.
Our ball team leaves today for Win
ter Park to play the Rollins college
team. Mason, a Jersey City, Eastern
league, pitcher, is doing the box work
for the college team. We are not very
strong here this year, but this is a
good place to get in shape for the sea-
son.
The automobile races on Ormond
Beach do not start this year until
March 22d or 23d.
This iE fine beach here; the sand
sets as hard as cement. A machine
passes over it like a streak, and with
ocean bathing all through the month,
or within a day or two. I am starting
to get in shape, as 1 want to be fit by
April. l will be playing again this
season, but not in Meriden or under
any Soffels.
Yours sincerely,

CHALLENGE IN 1910
FOR sEAWANHAkA CUP.
Canadians Agree to Accommodate the
Manchester Yacht Club-Withhold
Challenge in 1909.

Boston, Feb. Accepting the sug-
gestion of the Manchester Yacht club,
the Royal st. Lawrence Yacht club will
not press its challenge this year Tor
the Seawanhaka cup, but will challenge
for the trophy in 1910, according to an
announcement made today.
The Canadians wished to race for the
Seawanhaka cup during the coming
summer, but it was pointed out to them
that nearly all yachtsmen engaged in
small boat sailing in local waters
would be Interested in the coming
Sender races with the Germans. The
Canadians gracefully accepted the sit
uation, and in return the Manchester
yachtsmen readily agreed to accept the
challenge next year.
The Seawanhaka cup was carried to
Canada eleven years ago and won by
the Manchester Yacht club in 1905
since which time there has been no
race for it.

SHRUBB-LoNGBoAT RACE
GREAT BETTING EVENT
Total Wasers OF 100000 on the Mara
thon.

New York, Feb. 2.-Greater interest
than ever centers in the Longboat-
Shrubb race to be held in Madison
Square Garden Friday night. The
postponement of the race by over a
week has aided both of the runners,
and each is more confident than ever
of winning.
From a betting proposition it prom
ises to be the greatest of its kind ever
held. 1t is believed fully 100000 will
change hands when the tape is broken.
Before the postponement of the race
the Englishman was a decided favorlte
over the Indian at 10 to 8. Now the
odds have changed and even money is
wagered.
In Montclair. n. J., Shrubb has re-
sumed his training again and covered
