BORE HIS HONORS MEEKLY.
likewise the Substantial Trimmings
That Went With Them.

While he was attaChe of the British
Labouchere, when IL young man
turned up in New York one day
hungry and penniess.
At noon, with his usual reckless dar
ing, he entered Broadway chop
house-One MuldoOn's-and ordered 4
modest meal. But he had no idea how
he would pay for this meal. Perhaps
he would leave his hat or boots in
pledge for it. AS he pondered the
matter he noticed that the walters,
who We're staring at him oddly, were
all Irishmcn. Were the walters
aware Of his lack of funds? His
luncheon seemed strangely long in
coming. But just then Il waiter bent
over him and whispered
81 beg pardon, sir, but are you the
patriot Meagher"
Now, Meaghcr, LabOuchere knew
had aided Smith O'Bien in his Irish
rising, had been deported to Australia
and had escaped thence to New York
The ready young man. in answer to
the walters question, put his forefinger
upon his lip. "IIuSh." he murmured.
And he looked around the room eau
tiously.
1t was ut once felt that Labouchere
was the patriot Meagher. And so the
choicest wines were set before him,
and, i'll place of the modest chop he
had ordered, a luncheon of nine or ten
elaborate courses was brought on.
At the end lighting one of the estab-
lishment's finest cigars, LabOuclcrc de
manded his bill. His waiter smiled,
retired and soon came back with a
big, handsome MANTLE proprietor
himself The proprietor, bending over
the youth, said earnestly
From one like you. Il sufferer in the
good cause, | can take no money. 1t
has been privilege to serve you sir.
Permit brother patriot to shake you
by the hand"
And Laboucherc shook hands with
the proprietor and with the dozen
walters and staked forth into the cold
world with the stern. sad. but indomi-
table look which it seemed to him that
an eXiled patriot should wear.

WANT STOCK CAR RULES.
Chicago to Boston e-fOr-AlI
Test Set Back.
WILL START IN SEPTEMBER
Hoped by That Time New Reg
ulations Will Be Adopted
by National Body.

That the more conservative manufactur-
ers Of motor cars are still inclined to par
ticipate in contests, provided they can be
run under strict stock rules, has again
been demonstrated in the effort of the
Chicago Automobile Club to promote a
night and day nonstop reliability run be-
tween the Windy City and Boston this
month While several entries had been
assured, the committee in charge felt
obliged to postpone the affair to Septem-
Der in order to insure the largest possible
entry list in case rules can be arranged
by that time that will prove satisfactory
to a number Of makers whose objection
was that the run would be under free
for-all rules instead Of regulations based
on a stock car basis
The time for closing the entry list was
June 2, and It was more than week prior
to that date that the decision TO postpone
II was reached. At the time nine entries,
including two Stavers. two Abbott-De-
troits, two Imperials, a Case, a Packard
and an Alec, had been filed, while half
dozen others were counted upon as certain
TO get In. However. the Importance Of the
test was considered so great and the In
terest OF certain big manufacturers in II
was so keen that II was thought best TO
take more time in which to work 1t up.
Competition between stock cars, rather
than a free for all competition, was de-
sired by a majority Of prospective en-
trants. This fact was forcibly demon
strated through visits made to factories
in indianapolis and Detroit by c. G. Sin
sabaugh. F. +. Edwards ana j. G. De
Long. At both places the clubs ennis
saries found the demand for stock car
competition so strong that the American
Automobile Association was appealed TO
I'm an effort to get the rules changed. The
American Automobile Association officials
argued, however, that no provisions had
been made for stock car events and that
too little time was left in which to take
the necessary legislation.
Chairman William Schimpf. Of the A.
A. A. Contest Board, recently visited
Chicago on his way 10 Indianapolis, and
in a conference with Mr. Sihsabaugh indi-
Gated that a stock car class might be
provided in case postponement could be
arranged. The news was given 70 the
c. A. c. Contest Committee members
at their next meeting and the postpone
ment decided upon. Mr.. Schimpf evinced
great interest in the night and day run
and promised to do all he could toward
bringing about an adoption Of stock car
rules.
The committee will now bend its ener-
gies toward rounding up an entry list OF
twenty-five or thirty cars for the run.

Great Interest Shown in Mas
terS' Midsummer Tourney.
CAPABLANCA DRAWS MANY
Cuban Champion Too Clever
for Professor Grommer-
Duras Due Soon.

Judging from the opening night of
the masters summer tournament on
Wednesday. the attempt at popularizing
the game in midsummer in the city
must be looked upon as a success. In
spite OF the great heat, the rooms Of the
Rice Chess Club in Lenox avenue were
crowded throughout the long session Of
play and although the six games were
not all disposed of until an early hour
on Thursday morning, the interest was
as well maintained as on a Saturday
afternoon In midwinter.
The Cuban champion, Capablanca,
proved great drawing card. Added TO
that a really fine team is engaged In
play, another reason for attracting SO
many visitors to the club
President Isaac L. Rice, in his opening
speech, expressed the belief that the
tourney will be one Of most interesting
features, especially after the arrival Of
the Bohemian master, o. Duras.
The only disappointing feature pre-
vious to the beginning of play was that
the Manhattan player, A. +. Kreymoorg'
was obliged to withdraw his entry. HIS
place has been taken by +. b. Beynon'
the former champion Of Toronto.
Speaking OF the play in the first round
II is interesting to note that the games,
with the exception OF the Beihofr-Beynon
encounter, were all won on their merits
the hot weather seemingly not handl-
Gaping the players in the least.

there were errors OF Judgment, but these

The practicability OF this plan has been

Announcement comes from Detroit that

sales management of the Maxwell Motor
Company, the big 100000 concern OF
which Walter E. Flanders is president
and general manager.
That man would hesitate TO accept
what is one Of the two or three biggest
positions in the sales end OF the automo-
bile industry seems almost incredible, es-
pecially when, as In Redden's case, his
long experience and splendid record indi-
Gated that he possessed the qualifications
for the Job, while his selection for II by
Mr.. Flanders indicated no less clearly
the latter's confidence in Redden's ability
to swing 1t.
Nevertheless, It has been known In
trade circles that Redeem has been hesi-
tating for some time about accepting the
title. He did assume the position about
two weeks ago.
