LONDON HORSE SHOW.
American Animals Take Majority of
 the Prizes.

London June 5-The international horse show, which has become an annual event of the London society season, was opened at Olympia today under happy auspices. The spectators were aroused over several keen competitions among American and British horses in which the Americans, in majority of cases, came out with fly ing colors.
 In Class 2S, competition for novice tam dems exceeding 15 hands, first prize sl5O, Judge William H. Moore of New York carried off first and fourth honors with Hildegarde and Leonidas and Thaddeus and Thetus, respectively.

Stotesbury of Philadelphia took both first and second prizes in class 15, pairs of light harness horses years old or over. Roadsters or trotters, unlocked, Cana and Tom were first and Lucia and Pearl second; first prize, $15O second prize, $100 Third and fourth honors in this competition went to American bred horses owned by Walter Winans The greatest interest, however, was taken in class 2i, judging of 29 nov ices, single harnessed horses, over IA and not exceeding 16 hands England has heretofore been supreme in this class The go entries were finally weeded out until it was a question whether first money, $100 should go to Judge Moore's mare, Phyllis, or to Matthias. a brown stallion owned by Alexander Bowie of London. The judges, after long consideration, de- Phyllis second place. The splendid dis play of American horses and the elabo- rately decorated quarters provided for them have called forth loud praise from the local newspapers and the visitors to the show.

 In class 2, novice tandems not exceed ing 15 hands, Judge Moores Amaryllis and Phyllis took the first prize of s150. c. w. Watsons Chatterbox and Riding Bells took third prize of $50

 Is Q Rat WifhOnt Honor

that under the circumstances he would withdraw. f
 Under the misapprehension that Mur- phy was a man of honor, l took an early train for this city That Murphy slipped back and cast vote against the Pitts burg club is quite in keeping with other despicable things of which he has been guilty curing his connection with base- ball. aN
 By action of Murphy we are simply robbed of a hard earned victory. He could not be fair if he wanted to, while as for Hermann, the head of the Na- tIonal commission, he made affidavit on something he was not able to see. It was a raw deal from first to last and Is a black eye for baseball that politics is permitted to enter, doing away with justice and fair dealing."

Foam For Oil Fires.

The Germans have perfected a scheme
for killing oil fires with foam The
apparatus employed consists of sim
pie metal cylinder provided with a
long spout and divided into chambers.
One chamber is charged with an aque-
Gus solution Of potash-alum and so
dunn sulph9 tie. the other with a sim.
liar solution OF sodium bicarbonate, so
dunn sulphate and licorice root extract
The cylinder is so arranged that on
being reversed the two solutions min
gle as they issue from the spout. The
result is a prompt evolution Of carbon
dioIide, which. in contact with the
licorice solution. forms an exceedingly
stiff and persistent foam. Heads of
fire departments have tested this
scheme and pronounced the foam fire
extinguisher a success. They say It
will prove especially valuable in all
places where combustible liquors are
stored, such as groceries, drug stores.
automobile garages and motor yachts.
