T Itinerary of Glidden Tour— Vanderbilt Is Turned Down. TO the automobile maker all roads lead to Bulfalo just at present. On Thursday the famous Glidden tour will start at that place and there is more rivalry than ever between the many makers and clubs for highest honors. Buffalo is veritably the auto mobiiists’ Mecca for the next two days, for aside from the start of the tour Thursday the Good Roads and Legislative Convention is holding forth on the first three days of the week. It is expet ted that at this meet ing some interesting resolutions will be brought out anil will result greatly to the benefit of tin motorists through out the country. Reports from Buffa lo declare that the hotels are over crowded and the city is really swarmed with automobiles of all sizes and de scription This year’s tour will differ in many ways from that held last year. First and foremost tin tourists will encoun ter much better roads. They will, how ever, find a very hilly course ahead of th-m in some sections of their 1670 mile lourtn v. There will probably b? 60 starters in all. The touring cars, which will he divided into teams of three or more cars, will contest for the Glidden trophy, while the runabouts will contest for the Hower prize. As in past years, there will be many cars entered which will be known as non-contestants, they simply taken in the tour as a pleasure event.

The committee has ratified the action of the sporting com mittee of the Auto Club of France in supporting the Automobile Club of America in its fight against the Ameri can Automobile Association, under whose auspices the Vanderbilt cup race is to be run. D.

Am usual, the club suffers through the Indiscretion of the player who loses his head long enough to force the umpire to inflict the penalty pre scribd by the league for misbehavior. Pres.

EASTERN YACHT CLUB Leaves Linnekin Bay for Seal Harbor on Penobscot Bay. Linekin Bay, Me., July 7.—For the first time in several years, the Eastern Yacht Club fleet was able to get by Boothbav without riyining into a fog bank, for today the yachts left here for Seal Harbor at the western en trance of Penobscot bay, under clear skies. The cruise thus far lias been un usually successful, and many of the yachtsmen ascribe the fact to the two 12-year-old mascots, It. W. Emmons, 3rd, and young Reed Anthony. The three runs have all been sailed under favorable conditions, both as to wind and weather, and the fleet has main tained its numbers to an usual de gree. In Linekin bay this morning there were over 20 yachts gathered about the flagship Gloriana and nearly all of them joined in the day's run. Tlie com mittee gave the yachts a 34-mile course today, starting them off Squir rel Island and around Bantam’s Leg whistler, with the finish off Whitehead light. It was believed before the yachts started that the first leg would give an opportunity for some windward work as was the case yesterday. YACHTS STILL FAVORED. Wind, Weather, Sea and Tide Help on Fourth Run of Annual Cruise. Real Harbor, Me, July 7.—Again i wind, weather, sea and tide favored the boats of the Eastern Yacht Club as they continued today on the annual cruise to the eastward. It was the fourth run of the cruise and brought the yachts from Linekin bay around the island of the Muscongus up to a finish at White Head. A number of the skippers, becoming somewhat tired id' racing and not so keen for trophies, did not participate in the sporting events of the day but leaving the fleet early ran up into the Penobscot to lslesboro, where the fleet will be re united Thursday afternoon. Ten boats, however, continued in the contest. To morrow the yachts will have a race in Penobscot bay. Summary of the fourth leg of tlie Eastern Yacht Club cruise: Second division, schooners, won by Taormina, Dervish second. Second division, sloops, won by Avenger; Doris second. Third division, sloops, won by Dorello. Special handicap, won by Avenger. Boston Journal: The St. Louis papers are sending out queries seeking the opinion of Eastern writers as to the chances of the Browns winning the American League pennant. Reading between the lines the messages are something like this: “It you think they will win send 200, if not, 50 words will suffice." Donovan’s Claim For Salary Is Rejected. Cincinnati, Ohio, July 7 —In rejecting the claim of Player Jerry F. Donovan for salary alleged to be due him from the Philadelphia National League Club, the National Baseball Commis sion made a new rule in cases where players make claim for salary provided for in their major league contracts when they are released to minor league clubs. The new rule provides that no major league club has a right to release a player at any time unless it gives him a 10-days notice of such release. If this notice is given 10 days before the sea son commences the major league club having title to the player need not pay him any talary. If the 10 days’ notice covers any part of the playing season, then the major league club releasing the player un conditionally must pay him for the number of days such notice covers of the playing season, and if the player is released by a major league lub to a minor leagu*- club by sale or otherwise the major league club will in such case be required to pay the player tile dif ference in salary between 10 days' pay under his major league contract and the amount the player could have earned during the time had lie report ed promptly to tile club securing bis services. Donovan contended that lie had sign ed a contract with Philadelphia for 1908 calling for $300 per month, and that at the commencement of the season he was released to the Johnstown Club of the Tri-State League and that the lat ter club offered hint a contract calling for only $lu0, which contract was un satisfactory to him, and therefore he did not report to the Johnstown club. He requested that the Philadelphia club be required to pay him his sal ary or else give him liis unconditional release. The player’s claim was rejected be cause the committee only had liis statement that lie signed a contract, while the Philadelphia club stated positively that lie did not sign a con tract nor was one received by Presi dent Pulliam of tile National League. BOXING NOTES. By being confident of winning, Nel son cleaned up a good bit of money, betting $3300 on himself. He also re ceived nearly $14,000 as his share of tile receipts. The Packey McFarland-Freddie Welsh bout at Vernon, Calif., drew $10,300. McFarland got his guarantee of $40ti0 and Welsh 25 per cent which amounted to $2565. The club’s end was $3695. Joe Cans says lie does nut intend to retire, but is going after another bat tle with Nelson. The ex-champion fetls that Nelson should give it to him, as lie gave Nelson another, after the Goldfield battle, in which lie beat the Battler. Peter Maher, Jr., son of the former Irish champion, is making a iiit as a vaudeville perfoi iner. He assists liis mother, who is now a head-liner in the leading vaudeville houses, and they nave a very clever and entertaining act. Nelson still lias a feeling against his old managtr, Billy Noian, and on every occasion lie shows jt. After the battle Saturday, he stated that liis new man ager, Willus Britt, trained him better than did Nolan, and that was the rea son lie won over flans this time. Aleck McLean lias received a cable from the syndicate of Australian sport ing men who had asked him to sign some American boxers, informing him that tile amounts asked for by Jack (Twin) Sullivan and Marvin Hart were more tlian the syndicate would give them. McLean lias stopped negotiating with the boxers. Boston Globe: The defeat of Joe Gana will be a good tiling for the boxing game. He was considered invincible by tin- whit-- lightweights, and they were afraid to take a chance with him. Though Nelson won over him, the other lightweights figure that they have some chance with him, and all will try to get on a match with the new champion. Nelson is going to rest a few months and will then probably meet McFarland. German Autoists Capture 1908 Honors at Dieppe Track. ery who finished second. When the race was about half over a stone thrown by a flying w’heel broke his goggles and a piece of glass was driv en into tiis eye. He continued to the trihunet and there his accident was made known. But he refused to quit. After a surgeon had given him an in jection of cocaine to kill the pain he resumed his wheel and continued to the end. The German victory is naturally not very popular with the French, but nevertheless thousands cheered I.au tonschlager as he came in a winner. As Lautnsehlager was escorted to the Presidential box where he was con gratulated by M. Maujan, under sec retary of the interior, who presented President Fallieres, the band playd “Wacht Am Rhein.” There were numerous accidents but only two fatalities, Cissac and his en gineer, Schaub. While finishing the fi nal round the tire of their machine, a Panhard, was torn off. The car was thrown on top of them and they were horribly crushed. Another serious ac cident happened to Harrison, the Eng lish driver of a Weigel car. This ma chine turned a somersault at a dan gerous point in the road and Harrison was crushed and removed to a hos pital. The surgeons said his injuries were not fatal. When Strang turned up after the race he explained that he had had tire trouble at every round and that final ly his cylinder was washed out. 'U'ri.i.rAM e. rr.Axsrn i.i, BransfieldjWantslS j|To]Become?iV\agnate. Spokane, July 7.—William K Hrans field, iirst baseman for the Philadel phia Nationals, wants to break into Northwestern League -baseball us a magnate. He also wants to make Spo kane the recruiting station for the Philadelphia team. Louts W. Thiel of this city has re ceived t commission from the big leaguer to consummate the deal, if possible. Bransficld's idea is to make Spo kane the place from which the Phila delphia Nationals may secure new re cruits each year. This would be worked through tile agency of the Pennsylva nia team's Middle Western recruiting point Eor instance, when any North western’ League team secured a matt with big league prospects lie would be sold 01 drafted the next year to the Middle Western station, and if he made good there he would be sent di rect to Pit i lade lplifa with the big league. r-iransfleld figures that by this meth od if he owned the Spokane franchise lie would have no difficulty in secur ing new material for Philadelphia each year, as lie would be able to strength en Spokane from those who could not quite make good. LARRY M’LEAN SAYS HE WILL QUIT AS CATCHER. St. Louis, July 7.—Larry McLean, who is quite a favorite with the fans here, said while talking to some of his friends atound the hotel that litis was his last year behind the bat. "There is nothing in it for a catch er,” said McLean. “No matter how hard you work, you never get any credit, and you run the risk of being so seriously injured as to retire you from the game for good, il is seldom that I have not bruises or strains that make playing painful, and the life of a catcher is anything hut an enviable one. Like Frank t"bailee, l am anxious to |dav lirsl base, and 1 will b<* tlc-re next season, act ording to my present plans. At first there is more of a chance to do yourself justice, both in iiie held and at bat. So this is going be my last year as a catelier.” OUR OLYMPIC ATHLETES TO TRAIN AT BRIGHTON. London, July 7. The arrangements which have been provided for the American Olympic team here in Ixm don are unsatisfactory to Manager Hatpin. Trainer Mike Murphy ami the athletes, am! after a consultation with James K Sullivan it was decided to take the team over to Brighton, where they will train while in Knglaml. They will remain at Brighton until tlie day of their events, when they will come to London to compete. Brighton is a little more than an hour's journey by train from London. The efforts of the Daily Mail direct ed toward raising a fuml for the enter tainment of the visiting athletes who ave to take part in the Olympic games have met with a large measure of suc cess. $37,ROO already having been sub scribed, including a donation of S25flO from A. O. Vanderbilt. The govern ment lias undertaken to give a barn tuet to the otllcial representatives of each foreign group, to which the ambassa dors of the respective countries also will be invited. The following which appeared in an exchange, indicates that the former Hod Sox player is showing the form that made him the sensation of the American League during ids early stay with tin Athletics: Knight, the Bal timore shortstop, is one of the best infielders in the league. He is over six feet tall and extremely fast. He cov ers a wide ange of territory and snaps the ball over to first as easily from deep short as from the base line." Speaking of Sarah Bernhardt's per formance as Kleonore in “The Courte san of Corinth,” the Haris corre spondent of a Berlin paper says "And tne wig—who will describe it'.’ We know that it was made in London by the man who has no superior in the business. We know also that Bern hardt insisted on the maker coming to Paris with his handiwork in order that he might adjust it properly, be cause, she says, 'the best wig, when improperly placed, Is only a wig, while artistic adjustment malms it part of the person who wears it.’ He came and received—shall we believe it?— 1,'IOU marks tor his trouble. But it was worth it to the actress and to the andience, for it gave Bernhardt the appearance of being a woman ot thirty—she is really a little older.” Under the new Korean forest laws the forests will be classified in four k’nds, according to the status of their owners. These four classes are im perial, state, public and private for ests.

Is saying some awful things about those Maine delegates at Denver who are reported to be hostile to the Peerless One. Col. Watterson has climbed upon the Bryan bandwagon but be pauses to remarks that Mr. Taft is “a gentle man of noble character, an official of signal service and merit, and a citizen of unblemished reputation." Both factions of those Tennessee Democrats arc evidently the real tiling. On tlie morning of the prim ary election each side Issued warnings urging tlie people to watcli out or the other side would steal the election. Denver is reported as greatly taken with the Tammany delegation. It would be the best tiling that ever hap pened to New York City if Denver would only keep Tammany out there. When Bryan was first nominated his party came to Maine for a viec-presi dontlal candidate. Perhaps it will decide to repeat the trick this year. In Augusta. Waterville, Washington Brunswick, Meddybemps and othei towns there are gentlemen who would grace the tall end of the ticket. -1 t The Fourth's death roll cannot b and either unmarried or widows.

The Dayton (O.) Journal celebrated its 100th birthday on June 21 by getting out a 121-page paper. It proved to be a much better piece of work than is usually turned out on such occasions, and gave a comprehensive and intelli gent resume of the home city’s history and industries. All the work was done by the journal’s own staff, the many interesting special articles written by its own editors and reporters, and the excellent cuts made in its own shop.

Elliot Smith describes in the De cember Bulletin of the Egyptian In stitute what he discovered when he unwrapped in the Cairo museum the mummies of live of the Pluiroahs that were found at Bab cl Molouk in 1S98. These kings were among those who reigned in Egypt from about 1000 to 1300 years before the Christian era. At a period believed to he not more than a century after the death of the lat est ot these royal persons their elab orate tombs were broken into for the purpose of despoiling the mummies of the precious stones and jewels in the form of amulets, charms and other ob jects that had been buried with them. The work of unwrapping the royal mummies of Egypt is always a slow and careful process. Every stage of it is carefully described. Photographs are taken at every change in the process, as tor example when different kinds of cloth or different widths of bandages are used. The detailed report on these five mummies has not yet been printed, and Mr. Smith confines himself to his notes ot tlie mutilation and plunder of the royal dead. About three days were given to the unwrapping of each of the mummies. The kings were Siptah. who was re lated to the Raineses family by mar riage; Sonti II., who restored the throne to,the direct line of Raineses, but whose reign closed in anarchy be cause s< veral pretenders to tile throne waged civil war, and Raineses IV, V. and VI. It would have been no easy matter for the plunderers to take off the wrappings and secure the jewels if they had treated the mummies with care, but they were after the valuables and stopped at no mutilation; that would help to get them Quickly. Parts of the fine linen bandages, plastered together with resinous paste, were hacked off so brutally that bones of the mummies were broken, pieces of skin were cut out; arms, hands and ears were cut off, and teeth were knocked out. Fragments of the origi nal wrappings remained glued to the mummies, but it was evident that there was no jewel underneath that would add to the stolen riches. The least damaged of all the mum mies was that of Rameses V, which war completely stripped of all Its wrappings, hut the only mutilation was the slicing off of the linger tips of the left hand by some sharp instru ment. None of the other mummies was so badly maltreated as tlie body of Ram eses VI, whose head and trunk were literally hacked to pieces. Jewels around the neck had evidently sup plied the motive lor cutting off the head. One of tlie forearms and tlie hand were not with the mummy, but curiously enough, they had been re placed by those of another body, evi dently of a woman. Mr. Smith discovered abundant evidence that at a later period, during tlie reign of file priest kings, these outrages came to light and a very hur ried effort was made to rewrap the bodies. Tlie fragments of tlie old bandages were put around them, and were ttien covered with new bandages, but the rewrapping was so carelessly done as to indicate great haste. When tlie body of Raineses VI was re wrapped it was necessary to obtain a board on which to tie the fragments io give them some semblance of the form of a mummy. MAKE WAR ON LONDON RATS. Damage Done at Wharves Estimated at $50,000,000 a Year. ‘‘One estimate of the damage done by rats during tlie course of a year has produced a total of £10,000,000. From exhaustive observations, however, which I have made throughout tlie country, I should place the figure at £12,000,000 or £14,000,000. The re ports of my travelers show, in fact, that only two industries are fully im mune from these pests—those of the stonemason and the iron founder.” The above observation was made by C. A. Furu, who, with his "rat exter minator,” yesterday commenced a campaign to free the London and India docks at Tilbury from a veritable plague of rats. The damage done by rats at the docks is extraordinary. They gnaw through sacks of grain and spill the contents; attack bales of paper, in which they tear ragged holes, and rip gaps in consignments of cloth and other goods, rendering whole lengths of material entirely valueless. There are twenty-seven sheds at the London and India docks, each of which stands upon an acre of ground. An old man named Lawrence, who for ten years endeavored to cheek the increas ing horde of rats by means of traps and various poisons, calculates that burrowing under the floors of each shod are at least 2,000 rodents. Upon this estimate, which is con sidered a conservative one, the rat population of the docks is 54,000. Kx perience lias proved—so far as figures go—that each rat does damage to the extent of at least one farthing a day. Thus tlie rats at the docks are responsible for nearly $300 worth of damage a day. The remedy by which it Is hoped to exterminate this rat army in a space of six months is not in the nature of a poison. Potatoes are infected with a tasteless germ peculiarly deadly to rats and mice, and then placed in the "rat runs.” The rats aTter eating the po tatoes contract a wasting disease. This, in addition to proving fatal at the end of three or four days, is highly contagious to other rodents. CHILDREN’S HIRING FAIR. Boys and Girls for Farm Labor at the Friedrichshafen Market. Some 300 children in the care of a country priest passed through Inns bruck last week on their way to the annual children's hiring market at Friedrichshafen in Wurtemburg. At this market, which is held at the end of March every year, whole troops of boys and girls from 12 to 14 years of age, coming from the Tyrol and Vorarlbcrg, are hired by the farmers anti peasants. They stand ill rows in tlie market place in the early morning for the in spection of their prospective masters. Tnc term of service is seven months and the wages paid for that period range from £2 10s to £4. The feast of St. Judge, October 2$, marks the end of their service, and they are sent back to their homes. T1 eir employment is of varied char acter, minding tlie cattle, housework and work in the stables and on the iand. It is to be feared that in too many instances these half grown chil dren are very badly treated, and abuses and scandals are not infre quently reported. Possibly in this, the emperor’s jubilee year, which his majesty lias, so to speak, dedicated to tlie cause of children, something may be done to save, these little country liovs and girls from being sent to this "market” at Friedrichshafen.-Pall Mall Gazette.
