Hefferon of South Africa was given second place and Forshaw of the Missouri Athletic club third. It was proved to the satisfaction of the judges that Dorando was as sisted across the finish lino.

He soon was revived and, support ed by Hayes, Hefferon and Forshaw, was led to the royal box, where he was introduced to the queen. Soon after it was announced that the Judges had declared Hayes the winner of the great race, a protest was filed against him on the charge that he too received aid at one point near the finish.

The most mag nificent scene ever witnessed In Can ada was presented today on the Plains of Abraham, when the Prlnco of Wales reviewed 15,000 Canadian troops and 10,000 sailors in the grand military pageant. Practically the entire population of Quebec was present and In ad dition there were thousands of vis itors and tourists from all parts of the world. The scene was enlivened and made gay by the appearance of hundreds of persons attired In the historic dress of the time of the early days of Quebec There were countless frilled aid ruf fled dandles, with all the finery of the gayest court. There were countless fur clad trappers of the early !,ivs. m.uir cowled priests with heavy rosarb-s nrl sandaled feet, and all through th" crow 1 were brightly painted Indians in bril liant blankets and resplendent war bon nets.

(TTnlted Press Leased Wire.) New York, July 24. Richard Crocker, former chieftain of Tam many, will return from Ireland In the fall but denies that he will ac tively participate In the presidential campaign, though he hopes Bryan will win, according to a special. cajile message to the New York World today. In an Interview given but at hla home at Glencalrn, Croker Bald: 'TVell, Bryan Is a good man and tha party ought to win. But who la this man Kern? I suppose I'll find a lot of strange names when I get back." When he was told who Kern la, and what he has done, he said: "He's from Indiana? Well, fee can land that state." Then the old chieftain drifted Into a general discussion of politics, and, removing his pipe from his mouth, continued: "Yes, the Republican party has been In power too long. What sort of men " have you got over there today? There's Roosevelt. He Is the right kind for writing books, but we don't want any more of that sort of presidents, "He knows only one thing:. He don't know the top and the bottom man. the man who shoots craps on the cor ner and the man who plays bridge at the club. He knows only himself and his sot, and that is all. D'ye see? Croker, in talking of the present conditions in New York state, declared that Governor Hughes belongs to the Salvation army. In this connection he said: "It is human nature to gamble. Ufa Is a gamble.". He declared that King Edward Is the most popular man In Christendom, saying: "If there were an election for president of tho world- King Edward would be chosen, because he Is broad and he knows the whole game. He is an all-round gentleman and enjoys a fair game. He understands the poor tipster In the two-bob ring as well as he understands the rich. Speaking of tho conditions In Ire land today and the fight being, waved for home rule, Croker resented tha In timation that tho Irish people war severely oppressed, and declaYed: "No. sir, there is more actual free dom In Ireland today than there Is in New York." .
