player can make the poorest kind of q
showing at the training camps, and
there is no notice taken Of his work.
The young player starts in, out of
condition after a long winters lay-off,
and, being ambitious to show some
thing at the start, is more than likely
to lame up and make a poor showing,

climate and been foxy enough to take

VETERAN GEERs TWICE WINNER.
Pee Wee Took the 2:16 Trot and Dude
Archdale the 2:077 Trot.

Detroit, Mich, July 23.- Veteran Ed
Geers, always the favorite of the crowd
justified the confidence of his admirers
at the opening OF the grand circuit meet
at the state fair grounds yesterday aft
ernoon by driving his two starters to vic
tory. Pee Wee taking the 2;l6 trot and
Dude Archdae the 2:07 trot, both in
straight heats. The days racing was
spirited, the fastest horses generally con-
sidered best in three of the four events
failed to win first money
After finishing two heats in the rear,
Our Colonel showed remarkable improve
ment and captured the next three heats
of the 2:l5 pace.
Geers drove beautiful three heats in
the 2:l6 trot. In each round he kept Pee
Wee back in the bunch until well into
the stretch. Then overhauling the lead
ers, he passed them one by one, winning
by narrow margins but without urging.
The 2:05 pace produced the fastest
time of the year, 2:03A, in each of the
first two heats.
The 2;01 trot was easy for Dude
Archdale, Geers keeping her in front at
all times, and she won the two heats,
slowing down at the wire.

Another Auto in Garage

An unoccupied automobile with gears
reversed was cranked up in browns gar

the machine plunged backward against
the door connecting with Bennett's Cad.

opposite side of the show room, showing
the latter into the wall and almost
through a large plate glass window. The

The door and the two machines were so
mixed that the runaway machine had
to be lacked up in order to extricate the

tains large number OF notable pieces,

utation broad enough to insure a large

York at the Amsterdam theatre. where
for the eight weeks it remained there its
receipts were the largest ever known in
the Broadway playhouse. Its success
was continued. only in larger meas
ure, when previous bookings at the New
Amsterdam made it necessary to trans.
fer it to the Hudson theatre.

by Manager Hoban is as fol-
lows: "Brewster's Millions August ~;
Paul Gilmore in "The Havoc; Julie Ring
in "The Yankee Girf'; "The Red Rose"

The improvement noticed Saturday
was maintained yesterday and the bull
letins issued by the court physicians,
which are posted on the police boxes and
railway stations throughout the empire,
indicated that the maladies from which
the emperor is suffering having been got
under control, at least temporarily.
For considerable period during the
early days of his illness the emperor
was in a semi-eonscous condition, laps
ing occasionally into Inconsistencies.
Delirium was also one of the symptoms
which caused grave concern TO the physi-
clans. But the delirium now has disap-
peared and the emperor's mind has be-
come comparatively clear.
Expressions of concern couched in un-
usually sympathetic terms are being re-
eeived from every quarter of the world
