SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 19, 1 In every respect the great Springtleld meet of 1884 has surpassed even the highly successful meet of last year. The new half-mile track proves to be Very fast, the weather has been magnificent, and the peopie have turned out in great crowds, a8 en- thuslastic as only Springfield people are. The one drawback has been the.wind, which, particularly on Thursday, had a decided effect on the time, In spite of this drawback records were broken so often that a race won in slower time than the American record was a matter for Jest. ‘The records for every distance from one-haif mile up to ten miles were lowered, with the single exception of Sellers’ record of 2:39 for the mille made at Hartford on the 9th inst. ‘he races were admirably managed throughout, the police regulations were strict ly enforced, and the arrangements for accurate timing were most elaborate. Surveyors’ certificates were shown to the judyes,proving the accuraie measurement of the track, and there can be no question as to the va- Udity’of the records made, altuough many of them are Very remarkable, THE ERO OF THE MEET. And now a word as to the races and the racers. The hero of the meet is Sanders Sellers, of Manches- ter, England. Sellers is a stout young fellow of twenty-two, weighing 166 pounds and standin; about 5 feet 11 inches.” He 13 a decided nde wil square features.

In one of everything that couid be done to prevent it, the betting was very heavy, and it is estimated ‘that over $100,000 changed hands on the one-mile amateur open 2l0ne, the English professionals carrying off a large share. Seders won with apparent ease in all of the short events, defeating Hendee at one and two lies With much to spare. ‘The disappointment and grief felt in Springtleld over tue crushing defeat of its favorite 1s wonderful, but the generai feeling among | wheelmien Is one of positive relief, for Hendees | name has been on every one’s tongue, and lls pic tures have been thrust upon us from all sides, until he has grown to be Known as Saint Hendee among Dicyclers.

MOROSINI INVESTIGATES HIS SON-IN-LAW. An intimate frlend of banker Morosini, whose daughter eloped with coachman Schelling and married hin, said toa New York 7rivune reporter ‘Thursday: “Mr. Morosini, after the first shock at his daughter's elopement had passed, listened to the persuasion of friends and was inclined to for- give the couple. He was in this mood on Sunday when Victorla called upon him, but her haughty | and defiant manner toward her father irritated him, She kept pulling out her watch during the visit_ and timed her visit to a minute. When pressed to remain longer she tossed her head and cried: ‘Oh, Ernest will’ not allow me. I must obey him now.” On Monday and Tuesday she acted in the sanie arrogant manner, timing her Vislis. Not- withstanding these petty pleces of acting the father was Willing to recetve the couple, provided he was satistied that there was anything tn the young man. At Mr. Morosint’s request on Monday hight Washington E Connor, General Collins, and Mr. Cantoni called at Warner's liquor store in Yonkers and had along talk with the coachman. They were Introduced to him by Victoria. The | gentlemen went back to Mr. Morosini’s house and reported that they thought no good could come out of bts son-in-law. Acting on this advice, Mr. Morosint decided to iet Vietoria and her hush: ev did go, and are staying now at No. 78 street, 'in a larwe flat house. ‘The report of the gentlemen who vist'ed Schelling only con- impression which Mr. Morosin! had pre- Viously formed of the coachman. Wherever he has been, In New York, Troy, and Yonkers, he has taken Victoria to low liquor stores. Three months after he was engaged by Mr. Morosini he began to make inquiries as to whether that gentleman had made a will. On three separate occasions Mr. Mo- seemed to show that he early obtained apower over the simple young woman, and was laying his Schemes to make money out of her father.” ‘MRS.
