Regarding politics Mr, Grant eald: I will not become the leader of Tam- many Hall or one of two or three or four leaders in that organization. If I ‘were inclined to take @ greater Interest in politics than I have taken in recent years my business affairs would not ermit me to do it. bart have been hard at work, and, hav- 4ng run down in health, I purpose ing a reat, It seems to me that the talk ‘about new persons, or old workers brought forward anew, to take charge of the affairs of Tammany Hall 4s ill timed. Mr. Croker having retired from the executive management of the af- fatrs of that organization, the sub-com- mittee, which represents the New York County Democratic Committee, has chosen Messrs, Murphy, McMahon and Haffen to do the political work which be used to do. “They have had no opportunity to act yet, An opportunity should be gh them.

The preliminary examination was commenced to-day before Commission- er Shields of Abraham 8, Rosenthal and Martin L, Cohen, comprising the firm of A. L. Rosenthal & Co., ac- cused of defrauding the Government out of thousands of dollars through improper invoices in Japanese silk importations, W. Wickham Smith, Spectal Deputy United States Attorney General, ap- Gen, Bur- nett, United States District-Attorney, and Assistant United States District. Attorney Houghton were also present. As so0n as the examination opened Judge Dittenhoefer, for the defense, interposed an objection to Mr, Smith acting as prosecuting officer. Commissioner Shields overruled Judge Dittenhoefer's objection and the latter took an exception. Tho first witness was George Branti- gan, employed by M. J. Conbett & Co, customs brokers, His firm, he represented A. 8. Rosenthal & Co. silk importations, He {dentified invoices in the case. Judge Dittenhoefer then asked Mr, Smith which of the three complaints against his clients they were trying. Mr, Smith replied all three, ‘To this the counsel for the defendants promptly objected, He objected, too, to the in- troduction of the invoice.

June %.—The Giants had Ned Hanlon’s Gowanus ex- ponents of the national game just where they wanted them this afternoon, At 4 o'clock ‘they started after them. There was no need of telling what an awful struggle was to ensue. Previous games between the clans of Hanlon and Smith were all that was necessary for any one to know of. Brooklyn and Manhattan rooters knew it, and that was why a goodly number took the ride in the "L" cars this after- noon, The folk of the latter borough had no assurance that they would see as good a contest as this one promised In some time, for it so reads in the schedule that the two teams shall keep aloof from each other until some time during the warm days of July. While the crowd kept coming, the Giants, tomeed out in white, had a ‘practice bee on. They felt, as did the fans, that they needed it, and at that most important point of the game, bat- ting, they were at work. Luther Tay- lor served the shot and the Harlemites batted his offerings out just as if they were Lajoles, Wouldn't st be fine if they would look like that great wrecker of pitchers. Manager Smith had not a thing to say before the game. His batting order told that there were no new Giants en- |rolled. Not a change was found in it 3.30 P. M.—-The) from yesterday and something strange cannot help but be foreshadowed when the batting order goes unchanged for such a lengthy period of time, Of course, Ned Hanlon had made no changes in his men’s etanding at bat and that alone made the Brooklyn as- sembly look but one way, to victory for thelr pets. But loyal New Yorkers thought the other way and so nothing could settle the question but the game of nine in- nings. Sparks Needed Work, There is one department of his team which causes Manager George Smith no worry. That is his pltchers, and 40 many has he In good shape that he was undecided who to work to-day, His latest acquisition, Burke, late of At- lantie City, was a man whom he thought g00d enough to wallop the fellows from across the East River, but on second thought he did not like the idea of taking a chance, inasmuch as the pres- ent series was an even break up to the time of to-day’s game Frank Sparks, who has not worked for nearly a week, was the next In line of Smith's thoughts, and the facts of the cool-headed fellow's fine warming- up exercise and his success against top- notchers made him the choice, And it might be said that even such a fine team as the Brooklyns could not figure on a sure victory with ‘Keen Frank” in the box. Hanlon just looked at his pitohers’ schedule and thereon found the name of J. Hughes, who was to do duty ¢ I Jimmy looked good, too, but looks in a ball player are most decelying, and in case he did not think himself good enough by game time Hanlon had Dono- van and Newton keyed up to working ‘orm. First Inning, Dolan bunted a fly. ‘The ball got lost in the sun and Lauder fatled to get it, so it was a hit, Keeler dropped a fy back of Bean and it went as a double Dolan ran home from first. Sheckard's knock sailed toward left centre and dropped safe. It was a triple and Keet- er just jogged home. MoCreery's bouncer to Sparks was the Dodgers ane ish at first hien raised a fly to Jones, but before Jimmy could get the ball home Sheckard nad scored, Irwin dropped a safe one in right, but he got two bases on it because Dunn did some Juggling with the ball, Ahearn lifted a foul that Bowerman made neat catch of. ‘Three runs.

The card was very attractive, cluding, as it dtd, the Sheepshead Bay Handicap, at one mile, one of the best handicaps seen this year. The rest of the card, while not particularly high class, was attractive and furnished good sport. The track was in superb condition. The attendance was very large and above the usual average.

The fear that ere dawn Edward VII. will have passed away is universal. . u At dark the streets were crowded with anxious subjects of the royal sufferer. " Coronation fetes were declared off, and few sought the thea- tres.
