CELT GETS THE BROOKLYN. New York,' June 1. Celt, from the stable of James IJ. Keene, went out before a briliant aVid enthusiastic attendance of 30,000 today in the Brooklyn handicap at Gravesend and by smashing not only the time record of the race, but the record of the course, proved himself a worthy half-brother of the peerless Colin. The time was 2:04 1-5. Fair Play, another 3-year-old, came in for a generous . share of the glory of the day by chasing Celt home. Master Robert, also in the 3-year-old division, ran third, while King James, in the same age class, finished fourth. Thus all the honor of the day went to the 3-year-olds among the entrants.
UPTON'S BOAT SHOWS CLASS. Harwich, England, June 1. The
Shamrock, Sir Thomas Lipton's new racing cutter, and the White Heather took part in a race today over a triangular course of thirty miles in 'the
; Royal Harwich regatta. Starting with
the Brynhild and the Nyria, all buched, with the Shamrock on the weather bearth, the White Heather took the lead and Just kept it until a mile from the finishing line, where the Shamrock cut her out while rounding the buoy and ; beat her by one minute and eight sec- j onds. j A protest was entered, however, and the Shamrock was disqualified for a i
foul in rounding the buoy. The first i prize was awarded to the White Heath-
er and the second prize to Brynhild.
WOMEN ON TOUR.
St. Louis Fair Grounds, Historic Course, Is Scon To Be Divided. St. Louis, June 1. What will probably be the last horse race meeting of any description to be held at the his
toric Fair Grounds track prior to its being cut up for real estate purposes will be held Aug. 3 to 8 inclusive. The meet will be for harness horses, and no betting will be conducted or pools held on the race. Twelve thousand dollars in purses has been raised. The passing of the St. Louis Fair Grounds makes the end of racing in St. Louis, the Delmar Jockey club having lost its charter through a decision of the supreme court today. The course at. the old Fair Grounds is now overgrown with weeds, as is the Delmar Jockey club, and the grand stand and clubhouse are going to ruin, having been closed since the last raid.
The women transcontinental motor
tourists who set out from Portland, Me., on May 12, determined to make a 4,000-mile run overland to Portland, Ore., have arrived in Chicago. They pulled Into Chicago in high spirits and expect to resume their junket at noon today, :r fy :-;. ' Mrs. E. E; Teape and her daughter.

COVERED WITH HITS. C. Cooper Fraser found his path strewn with base hits yesterday and the Cubs dropped another game to Pittsburg. 6 to 9. A sloppier exhibition could hardly be imagined, but the yuiver of doubt as to which team could play the punker article of ball kept the argument from becoming too dreary.. There was one man on the Jield.who played the game of his life every instant. That was little Tommy Leach, who walloped a home run, a three-bagger and two singles, besides stealing two bases on Dead Shot Kllng.
Leach scored half of the Pirates' runs and was in a large measure responsible
for all the others. Going some for a

HAS ITS "YELLOW" PROBLEM.
London, June 2. The problem of Asiatic labor, which has been a source of great trouble recently in Canada, Australia, South Africa and other parts of the empire, has now been brought closer home. At the present time there is serious trouble In the East End of London owing to the engagement of Chinese crews for British ships, and within the hast week or two desperate
riots have been prevented with the utmost difficulty. ' The difficulty has arisen over the action of several shipping firms in engaging Chinese crews, to the exclusion of British and other European sailors, some hundreds of whom have not had a ship for months past.
The National Seamen's and Firemen's union has taken the matter up and Is picketing ever shipping office where Chinamen are dealt with. In the house of commons, Mr.' Havelock Wilson, one of the labor members and himself an
officer in the seamen's union, asked the government" for particulars in regard to the recent disturbances. Mr. Churchill in reply said that the recent unusual in
crease in the number of Chinese seamen shipped in the United Kingdom ports was receiving prompt and searching attention, and must be regarded as a matter of serious concern. Any case in which sufficient evidence was available of a boarding-house keeper having supplied a crew, Chinese or otherwise, would be considered with a view to legal proceedings. The object of shipowners In shipping Chinese, crews, the leaders of the union assert, is to have men serving
whose accidents are not likely to lead.

accept a lower rate of wages than the
Europeans, as well as a cheaper dietary scale.

Bryan Makes an Address. Wm. Lowe Bryan, president of the Indiana state university delivered one of the finest addresses ever heard on a Crown Point stage, his argument and logic being concise and to the point interesting his talk with quaint bits of humor. "His subject "Work," was a theme which he eulogised from every standpoint with "Play" as a necessary adjunct for its proper carrying out and fulfillment.

Whiting, Ind., June 2.JThe recent prohibition wave has brought a Waiting poet to the foreground, in the person of Mike Nutini, of the firm of Harr & Xutinl of the Edelweiss buffet. Nutini, who is a native of Italy, has been a resident of this city since it was in its infancy. During this time he has made several visits to his na
tive country, but these have always been of short duration, as he is always eager to get back to America. He has been the proprietor of several fruit stands, but a little over a year ago, turning these over to his brother, Reece Nutini, he entered what he thought a more profitable business, that of saloonkeeping. All went well, his hopes never being blighted, until the recent prohibition wave struck the country. Since then Mike has been more or less worried over the outcome, and gets very enthusiastic when speaking of the fight the saloonkeepers are being forced to put up. He was discussing the situation with several men the other day when he suddenly burst into poetry by saying: "The- damma prohibit They get a petit To put the saloonkeeper Out of comrnis.
