SHORTAGE RAISES
HOP CROP PRICES
Storms and Hail Ruined the
Produce in New York.

Utica, n. Y, July 31.-Reports from
hop growers and dealers throughout
Central New York show that this sum-
mer's crop will be light. but the yield
of the vine will bring a substantial price.
probably in excess of 35 cents a pound
Plue mold, wire worms, and grubs are
causing the usual troubles to the own
ers of the hop yards, but the greatest
damage to the vines seems to have been
done by the hail storms of June and
early July.
Cne raiser, G. w. H. Pillpott, of Madi-
son. suffered total loss of fourteen
acres in a hail storm July 5, and there
are others whose losses are as large.
Hop raising as an industry is rapidly
falling of ip Central New York as COM
pared with the business which was
transacted in this staple a few years

VERNON MCKINNEY
WINS COMMERCE
Leading Turf Classic Goes to
Noted Thoroughbred.
Special to The Washington Herald.

Detroit, Mich, July 31.-Vernon Nc
Kinney won the Chamber of Commerce
Stake to-day, showing that perseverance
counts in horse racing as well as any
thing else. For fifteen years this has
been the leading pacing classic of the
turf, and in that time the Canadians
have trained hundreds OF horses with
this particular stake in view, but never
did they finish better than second.
Few renewals of the Chamber of
Commerce Stake have furnished more
thrills than to-day's race, although 1t
cannot be said there was a close finish.
Peter the Second surprised everybody by
his rush through the stretch to victory
in the first heat beating the highly train
ed Branham Baughman in the sizzling
drive, which was all over at the distant
stand and enabled him to jog at the end.
Vernon Mckinney cut out the pace in the
second heat, and was ever in front, hav-
ing the speed when the final straiga-
way was reached. Branham Baughman
tried in this and the following heats to
make the horse from Manitoba repeat
the errors which had brought him in dis
repute with the race goers of other
towns, but failed.
The third heat was the fastest Of the
race, but with no more effort on the
Part Of Vernon Mckinney, which led
from one end to the other. He took
them to the half in 1:01, having an open
length the better of Branham Baughman
at that point. Again did Cox make
drive, but Vernon Mckinney won in
z:03 3-4, with James taking him back all
he could. Sir r had raced in third to
the five-eighths, where he made a fatal
break.
In the fourth heat Cox tried the plan
that worked at Grand Rapids. a fast
mile and q half, but Vernon Mckinney
had more left at the head Of the stretch
than did Branham Baughman, and won
in a Jog by three lengths. The sum-
