iss and Beaumont's Hydro-Aerop1anes

During the past few days the
most extraordinary coincidence in
the history Of aviation came to
light. Two famous flyers, living
oceans apart, have produced prac-
tically the same kind of craft at
practically the same time. One of
these craft, a hydro-aeroplane, has
been flown with great success in
England and France by Andre
Beaumot, the remarkable French
champion.
Curtiss, who is popularity re-
garded as the pioneer in aero
watercraft, has made many pri-
vate flights over water, IN his new
machine, but has not given a pub
lie demonstration.
Each craft is motorboat with
the superstructure consisting Of
an ordinary aeroplane. The top

Special 10 Tho Tribune
PITTSBURG, Aug. 10.-Whcn the
national baseball commission appealed
TO congress for aid in prohibiting gam
bling on baseball games, an invcstigs-
tion was started which proves that base
ball gambling is as bad as that con.
dueted by the old policy kings, who
came to grief because they permitted
women and children to bet sums as
small as % cents. iu New York, Chi
eago. ST. Louis. Detroit, Philadelphia.
Cincinnati Cleveland and other cities
women and children can bet dime
on any big league game or they can
bet on the result OF innings. Regular
Poolrooms are conducted in connection
with some small cigar store or ice
cream parlor.
Boston and Washington are the only
big. league cities wholly free from this
evil.
On Saturday afternoons when many
of the factory and store workers have
the time, they congregate before the
bulletin in front of newspaper score
boards in order to get the returns a few
seconds quicker than they could at the
place where they bet their money.
Every night when the crowd goes
home from work there is similar as
seuiblage before the bulletins. They
have learned the result of the games
earlier. but they want details so they
will know how and why they lost or
won their money. Not long ago shop
girl, who had wagered dino on "a
baseball game. tainted when she saw
on one of the Pittsburg score boards
that she bad won There is always
tremendous excitement.
Looking out windows of newspaper
offices, the faccs Que sees in front Of
the score boards are pathetic aud
tragic. The favorite bet with the ma
iority Of Pittsburg's dino bettors is
that Wagner will get a hit. Some
times they get as much as 5 to j for
their money. Thus it. always happens
IN this city that a great jubilee is held
tefore the score boards whenever
"Honus' makes bis hit.
The thing that makes the baseball
gambling the worst of all forms is the
fact that nearly everyone who bets
cannot afford to lose. No big sums are
bet Oh games OF, if they are, the wagers
are between friends and not in the
Ioolrooms;; In these places anything
ever dollar bet is regarded as a real
plunge. while dime and quarter bets
form by far the largest proportion of
transactions.

With Joe Fogler and Jackie Clarke
riding against Paddy Hehir and Iver
Lawson in special team match race
at one mile there is apt to be plenty Of
excitement at the Salt Palace saucer
track this evening. These four riders
have been the leaders in most Of the
battles on and OFF the track this sum
tween them. In fact the Lawson
Clarke and the Fogler-Hehir feuds have
kept things in an uproar most of the
season.
The members of each team declare
that they are glad Of this opportunity
to get at each other on the track.
Lawson and Hehir say that once they
get in front the others will not be able
to get around them without going into
the seats or out on the grass while
Fogler and Clarke insist that this is
battling starts they will be right there
to finish it.
Lawson has not yet forgotten the in
jury be received in his match race with
Clarke carly in the season while Fogler
and Hehir have not only battled on
the track but also in the training quar-
ters as well.
Another race which is probably des
tined to result in rough affair because
of the feeling between the riders is the
special match race which will bring to-
gether the three best amateurs-Ned
Young, Russ Brazier and o. u.
Schmertz, Any time they get together
there is something doing.
Young is leading in the winning table
for the amateurs and has captured
practically all of the sprint races.

MADDEN & FITZPATRICK
SCORE IN BRAND new
VAUDEVILLE PLAYLET

Bridgeport theatregoers who recall
with pleasure the delightful vaudeville
playlet, 1.-The Turn of the Tide in
which appeared James w. Fitzpatrick
and Lewis B. Madden, will be inter-
ested in the new vaudeville venture
of these talented young men.
They produced recently in Chicago
before an audience that included
many managers and booking agents
a new playlet called, 1.-THE Wander
err 1t is from the pen of Mr. Fitz
patrick. He was formerly engaged
in newspaper work in Waterbury, Mr.
Madden is also Waterbury man,
and he is considered among the lead,
Both players are we'll known in
Bridgeport, and have relatives here
They have appeared here several
times in the playlet. 1.-The Turn of
the Tide They are playing this
through the west, now, and expect
to use the new act in the early sum-
mer in the leading eastern houses
Like 1.-THE Turn of the Tide the
new act affords Mr.. Madden oppor-
tunity to display his ability at the
piano. Mr.. Fitzpatrick appearing in
the title role depicts the character
of an artist, destitute in a garnet
studio, while Mr.. Madden appears as
a wanderer in rags and tatters. There
is a pretty romance, many flashes of
humor, a touch of pathos, and alto
gether a very delightful story UNI
folded in this new act.
1.-THE Wanderer'' according to the
critics, is destined to take its place
among the vaudeville classics. with

WHAT TO DO AND HOW.
The Good Listener Wins i'm Society
Fast Takers Not Popular.

Did it ever occur to you that one
of the strongest points in etiquette is
to acquire the ability to listen? In
society 1 have noticed that the
"jumpy" girl, the woman who inter-
rupts, Or the one, who once having
achieved the reputation Of being brill
liant in conversation, never ceases to
display the said brilliance, has no
great hold.
The one whose flattering interest in
your conversation keeps her quiet.
save at proper intervals when the re-
sponses intelligently suggest appre-
citation, is the truly popular favorite.
A man is often bowled over by a
girl with soulful eyes and a tongue
in leash. But he would run a hum
dred miles from Miss PERT whose
Llippant Intersections while unques-
tionably clever and telling, do not
He is apt to feel that her caustic
Interruptions are somewhat akin to
ridicule. Moreover, they detract from
he. flow of his own eloquence, which
YOU perhaps have observed is very
dear to the heart of the average man.
Beyond the question of personal
satisfaction it is without doubt most
courteous to listen until speaker
has finished. 1t is equally true that
very few women are able to suffi
GENTLY control themselves to wait for
periods or new paragraphs.
David BelascO, a clever critic Of
every thing real and unreal, was at
my house for tea one day when the
discussion of Mrs. Leslie Carter was
somewhat naturally introduced.
Leaning on my elbow and listening
intently. l was somewhat surprised

doing now is one of the hardest things
to learn, on Or off the stage-to listen
quietly
He further stated that though tenn
permanent counted of course largely,
repose and restraint were harder to
gain in stage work.
And equally, so I thought, in the
real life intercourse of calls and even
common talk.
1t seems when you once set your
self apart as a critic, Or more kind
ly speaking, an observer, that we
women especially are SO eager to have
our little say that we can't wait un-
! til the speaker addressing us has full
Iy finished.
The nervous desire to express our
own opinions, makes us forget that
it is decidedly impolite to interrupt.
Perhaps there is no place where the
problem SILENCE is Golden can be
more aplty applied than in the dia-
logues in which men and women are
woman always realizing the truth of
the adage if she wishes to remain
popular.
A diplomatic girl seeking social ad-
vancement can often, by hattering
attention to chaperon's words, ac-
quire a social uplift that wouldn t
come if she were to express her real
thoughts.
You know we can't be hung for our
thoughts.
After all, though 1 know there are
some very brilliant social successes
which have been made by brillian,
conversational efforts, I believe if
we could get up a list of social sta>
tistics, we would learn that the pop
ular debutante or matron was the
one who looked more than she said.
Also that the best matches had been
made by the girls who knew when
to speak, but whose long suit was
