Yesterday was the day, and although a heavy rain fell at the start of the proceedings, it did not feaze some hundred motorists who bravely buttoned up their dusters and sped onward to Donnelly's Hotel, College Point, I.

Arriving at the grove, breakfast was served, and then the fun commenced. Four baseball team were formed and for the uext two hnurs there was much baseball, or rather less baseball sod more comedy. Tho Whiten, otherwise known a the Hertford lllow-Outs, aud the Greens, alias tho Klalbugb Nun-Skids, hooked up on aim dliiinund. while the i Night Owls hiii) Nover-Huiuos (ought it out on another Held. The uniforms were presented to the tenuis by the United States Tire Company, and the athletes looked mighty proud as they strutted out on the held.

Ot course they all thought they could play ball, but about four of the members of the teams really did know something about the game. Umpire MuCloud got In "Dutch" right away by calling the first ball pitched a strike. From then on the umpire bad his troubles. As the game progressed all attempts to keep a score Were futile. Somebody snld that the Whites, captained by C.

Fletcher Donnocker, had won by 10 to 8, and everybody let It go at that. The other game was equally Interesting, Charlie Tate's Blues winning from the Reds by 9 to 8. Donnocker the Real Fireworks. Captain Donnocker was the real fireworks. The White captain connected for two triples, a double and a home run in four times at bat.

"Don" also handled himself well In the field, and It was mainly through his Individual efforts that his team won. The game between the Whites and Greens was going along peaceably, whon i some members of the Red team stole the PEACE The Hague, August 28 The Palace ot Peace which was dedicated with impressive ceremonies today is the gift of Andrew Carnegie, who, in 1903, placed at tho disposal of the Dutch Government the sura of Jl, 500,000 for the purpose, as expressed In his offer, "of erecting and maintaining at The Hague a courthouso and library for the Permanent Court ot Arbitration established by the treaty of the 29th of 1899. To provide a site for this, the first atructure evor erected for such a purpose, the Dutch Government appropriated $276,000. The site selected is in a section of wooded and hilly park stretching from The Hague to Scheveningcn, and the cornerstone was laid July 30. 1907.

A world-wide competition for plans and designs for the Peace Palace was established and the first prize was awarded ti M. Cordonnlere, a Brussels architect. The building as completed, however, does not represent the original plans, the Carnegie Committee having reserve! th. right to modify all designs. With Mr.

Cordonnler's plans for a foundation, Mr. van de Steur was appointed to carry nui. the modified design and rctnilnpd in direct control of this work until the completion of the building.

Her neck is like the pretty swsn; Her lips is like the cherries and her big gray eyes are simply grand To feast your humble orbs upon. She's got a peck of golden hair and with' a figger she is there; She weighs one hundred eighty-five. I tell you what, she just suits me. If you'd see her, you would agree 4 She is the swellcst gal alive. Since then my views of live has changed.

She said I was a dream to see, but she could never marry me: And then she heaved a sad, swest sigh. She said she must obey the laws and simply turn me down because She's married to another guy. A GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. Mr. and Mrs.

Abram Abrahams. IKTY years ago Mr. and Mrs. Abram Abrahams ot upper Flat-bush avenue were married in London, England, and their golden wedding will be cele ill brated quietly next Sunday by their children, grandchildren and one greatgrandchild, at the home of their daughter, Mrs. L.

The aged couple are enjoying excellent health, as they are not so advanced In years as some others who have lived to enjoy their golden wedding anniversaries, Mr. Abrahams will he 72 years of age on November next, while his bride of fifty years will rraeh hr BSth year on October 5.

The fans lost all control ot themselves In the sixth inning of the game between the Whites and Greens and rushing from the stands, they mobbed Umpire JlcCloud. The poor umps was roughly handled, but the law breakers quickly released their victim and the game was resumed.

Fun on the Cinder Path. After the ball game the races started. It Is hard to convince some people that tney are not athletes. Julius Biudrim insisted on entering every event and he nearly won a prize in the running broad 4 it. r-r.

jump. Charlio Tate was at one end of the tape and W. Wolff had made a nice jump of twenty feet. Julius went back for his turn and Tate moved the tape up about four feet. Julius gave a mighty leap and cleared the tape.

It worth the price of admission to note the happy smile that lighted the chair man's countenance. He was brought off 01s pedestal in a minute wheu Tate moved the line back. George Ruckert gave a liberal handicap to a large field in the 220-yard run. but the crack sprinter was unable to catch his field and had to be content with fourth place. A.

J. O'Rourko, with the limit handicap of 10 yards, won this race with J. A. Fitzgibbons a close second. Of course Bindrim had to start, but he got the blind staggers on the first turn and fell by the wayside.

the lee shore of incompetency! What has become of the promise of the Police Department to arrest the murderers of William G. Martin, tho Toronto buyer, done to death less than two weeks ago 1:1 a Manhattan rooming house? Deputy Commission Dougherty "had tho criminals located," he said. Why have they not been arrested and Indicted? Promise and performance assuredly are two different things at Police Headquarters. Is the Martin case to become another murder mystery? A great statesman once said. "Compromise is the very essence of diplomatic negotiations between nations." Such Is the inevitable programme In th pending situation between this country and Mexico.

War Is out of the question, no matter how Irrationally Impudent the provisional President of Mexico may act. Hucrta is nothing but a brigand. His status Is not a whit better, so far as th Washington Government Is concerned, than the so-called "rebel" chieftain in the northern part of the Peninsula, who refuses to recognize tho Huerta Administration. President Wilson has not recognized Huerta. Therefore, the blustering general cannot officially "Insult" the President of the I'nited States.

Hucrta Is in exactly the position ot the man who boasted that he could "Insult John Sullivan," in the days of his pugilistic majesty, and won a bet by getting the champion on the telephone. For the Inited States to undertake an invasion of Mexico on account of anything Hucrta shall "proclaim" or "pronounce" would be ridiculous. On the other hand, if he orders any more American citizens shot, a very different proposi'ion will confront the Wil-tou AJuiiuisUatiou.

After going over President Wilson's message to Congress, read by himself to a Joint session yesterday, one is impressed with the culm, common sense of the document. State papers do not make an administration: but poor ones may sadly mar it. Proof of tho first assertion is found in the fact that the messages of President Tyler are probably the ablest In the history of this republic.

Several years ago. having a few weeks 1 nil "Mns- leisure on my nuiiuc. 1 iu m. lmt sages of the Presidents" and that impression was indelibly left upon my alleged mind. John Tyler docs not rank high as a President.

It is acts, not talk, that makes an administration great and memorable. Tho Mexican message is great. It makes its appeal entirely to the Mexican people! It must impress every Mexicano who isn't full of aguldente, with its sincerity. The Instructions to ex-Governor John Llnd, as set forth in full for the first timo, are exceedingly clear, direct and fair to Mexico. Huerta does not receive any consideration, and the fact that he had not been recognized as lawful president ought to have prepared him for such non-conciliation.

Not a threat, not a sign of bluster appears In the brief message. In several instances, the wording Is of high literary art. Especially fine Is the sentence, "We can afford to exercise the self-restraint of a really great nation which' realizes its own strength and scorns to abuse it." Another excellent point mado by President Wilson is: "We cannot, in the circumstances, be partisans ot either party to the contest now distracting Mexico, or constitute ourselves the virtual umpire between them." Considerable tact is evinced by omitting reference to the obligations assorted to exiB. under the Mouroo Doctrine. Those are well forgotten.

Authority, Humanity, Constancy and Wisdom. The main windows of the great court are guarded by stautes of Justice and Law. and over the central gable above the main entrance stands a figure of Peace, her hands resting on the hilt of a sheathed sword, around which are swathed scrolls. Just below, over the corridor, stand two lions. 1 The ttatunry, however, is not confined I to the symbolic Four men have been; honored by bufts.

Ever since the convocation which met at Spring Lake two years ago froze out of the secretaryship the man who originally promulgated the Idea. William George Jordan, it has lacked initiative, national recognition and importance. Mr. Jordan formulated Its plans, suggested topics for discussion that were within the scope of State executive consideration and recommendation; but now, at Colorado Springs, where a small number of Governors have gathered for the fiftn annual conference, questions that can only be properly considered by Congress are occupying much of the time. There appears not to be any direction or coherency to the discussions.

It was the same way at Richmond last August. As I understand the trouble, a relative of one of the Western Governors has undertaken to direct the proceedings, with the usual result when an Inexperienced amateur in natlinal affairs is unable to cope with their intricate detills. At the Sea Girt meeting Governor Judson Harmon was directed to prepare an opinion regarding the proper regulation of railroad rates by the various States; hut as he has been succeeded since as Chief Executive of Ohio by James M. Cox, he certainly will not deliver the address this year, which for some reason wa not called for st Itlchmonl. In ether words, without adequate direction, tho "Hiuse of Governors'' has become merely an anr.ual "junket," of no national importance.

Only a of the States ore represented this year, and fi'ivpr Governors will n'ake their appearance next summer, one may safely pre- diet. A splendid idea has gone to wreck upon.
