MAY PLAY IX SPOKANE.
Portland and Taconia May Go to
the Fnlls City.
The dispatch from Oakland in which
Pete Lohman expresses his Intention of
buying Into the. Portland baseball club,
and a rumor to the effect that next
week's series between Portland anad Ta
coma. scheduled at Tacoma. would be
played at Spokane, gave the local fans
plenty to talk about yesterday.
Regarding the transfer of the games
scheduled at Tacoma to Spokane, It socma
that the rumor arose from the recent
visit of C. H. Williams, the Spokane
baseball magnate, who was in Portland
for a few days recently. The report in
circulation is to the effect that Mr. Will
lams has offered a certain sum of money,
said to be $2500. to the two Coast League
clubs to play next week's series in Spo
kane. Mike Fisher is said to favor the
transfer, and Williams' visit to Portland
was principally to gain the consent of
the local parties. Just how much .of tho
story is true, so far as the local end is
concerned, is impossible to learn, for
tho local magnates are noncommittal on
tho subject.
The evident object of the Spokane mag
nate is to ultimately secure the Tacoma
franchise for the Falls City, and the ob
ject in securing the transfer of this series
is to demonstrate the paying qualities of
that town.
As to the Lohman rumor. Judge Mc
Credle aHd Secretary Ely, together with
other of tho local magnates, are united
in their denial of the report.

SYSONBY NOT IN THE RACE
Interest In Brighton Handicap Is
Spoiled by His Absence.
NEW YORK. July 7. Sysonby, the
great Keen 3-year-old, hailed as the
champion of the year. Is not carded to
start tomorrow in the Brighton, the rich
est of all ages handicaps run in America.
His absence is a source of keen disap
pointment to the army of racegoers. Art
ful and Ort Wells have been looked on
as the horses most likely to wrest away
from Sysonby his fast accumulating lau
rels. Beldame, whose glory has been
somewhat diminished by her recent de
feat along- with Delhi in the mile, won by
Ort Wells, is also named to go in tho
handicap tomorrow.
This historic handicap, with a guaran
teed value of J25.000, tho winner to take
not less than $22,000. has been contested
for by the very best horses the American
turf has known. As among Artful. Ort
Wells and Beldame, there Is a wldo di
vergence of opinion as to relative merits.
and it will be difficult to forecast the
public favorite until the track conditions
tomorrow are known.

Takes Seven Events at the
Exposition Stadium.
SEATTLE SECOND IN RACE
X:
Athletes From All Parts ot the
Northwest Come to Compete for
Points In the World's
Fair Games.
Multnomah leads In the P. N. A. cham
pionship games, tho first seven events
of which took place on the Exposition
stadium yesterday afternoon. Athlotes
from all parts of the Northwest com
peted for points, and at tho close of the
day the representatives of the Multnomah
Club had piled up 29 tallies, against 23
for Seattle nnd 1 for the Brockton Point
Athletic Club.
Interesting features of yesterday's meet
were the quarter, the broad Jump and
the 56-pound weight. The latter event Is
not Included In collegiate meets, and
hence has not been seen on local fields
for some time. McDonald of Seattlo
broke the Northwest record by tossing
the weight out 27 feet 9i inches.
The 440-yard dash was run In the re
markably quick time of 50 3-5, Williams
and Grecnhaw making a very close fln-
ish at the tape. The hundred was not !
run as fast as expected, due to the fact
that Smlthson. who makes the distance
In 10 fiat, had a sprained tendon, and
could not do himself Justice. His run
ning mate, Williams, took first at 10 2-5.
The weather was ideal, and the track
In very good condition. The remaining
eight events will bo pulled oft thlr after
noon on the stadium, commencing at 3
o'clock.

Blsley Match Hns Exciting: Finish,
Westminsters Breaking Tic.

BISLET. England. July 7. Tho close
finish of the Initial range In the match
between the teams of tho Seventh Regi
ment. N. G. S.. New York, and the West
minster Yoluntcers yesterday for the Sir
Vincent Shield Increased the Interest In
todays' shooting, bringing out even a
larger gallery than yesterday.
On the whole, the breeze was very light,
but the sun was much stronger and the
glare In their faces Interfered with tho
marksmen. The heat was oppressive.
The morning's trains brought out a
number of American and British military
men. and there was quite a gathering of
former members of the Seventh, who are
now visiting England.
The Americans started badly, Meyer
missing twice nnd Short once. The vis
itors had some trouble with the targets,
two of which had to be shifted. The
Westminsters shot more evenly. The to
tals at JO-yard range were
Westminsters, 359; Americans, SSI.
The Westminsters scored more than the
Sevenths In the StiO yards, and completed
the third range of the match with an
advantage of three points, the totals of
the three ranges being
Westminsters. 1H5; Americans, 1112.
The Westminsters retained their ad
vantage and won the match. 14S0 to 14M).
The finish of the match was most ex
citing. When Crall and Beach and the
two Fultons came up to shoot, the West
minsters had a lead of seven points. The
Americans' first nlno shots evened the
score, but the Englishmen overtook them
again by steady shooting and gained ten
points. The Americans were first to con
gratulate the winners.

The Nehalem Beeswax Again.
PORTLAND, July tf. (To the Editor.)
I offer the following contribution to the
ever-recurrent discussion relative to the Ne
halem beeswax, or ozocerite, or whatever U
may be. If the Information I give Is not
new to those Interested In the subject, I
apologize for this needless recrudescence.
I have in my possession a narrative en
titled. "A true report of the gainful, pros
perous and speedy voyage to Java In the
East Indies performed by a fleet of eight
ships of Amsterdam, which set forth from
Texell In Holland the first of Male. 150S.
stllo novo, whereof foure returned agalno
the 19 of July, anno 1599. in less than 15
months, tii aOiAr Xouxo went forward from
Java for the Moluccas,' pr

It thus appears that Oregon has not a
monopoly of tho legend or hypothesis of a
beeswax-laden ship.
Without any disposition to dogmatize and
without suggesting any explanatory details,
and at a risk of running counter to dearly
cherished theories of friends. I venture to
express my belief that the Nehalem bees
wax ship Is as mythical as the Flying Dutch
man; that the product in question Is of
mineral origin and thus more wonderful
and more Interesting to the lover of nature
than any mere wreckage of beeswax could
be; that Its mysterious markings are no
more the handiwork of man than the famil
iar strintlons resulting from the Ice-sheet
of the glacial period; and that the wick
