10 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1893—SIXTEEN PAGES. REAL ESTATE GOSSIP. | Church Architecture in This City and Large Church Edifices, MILLIONS IN BRICE. About Nine Millions of Dotlars Expended | 4m Batldings During the Fiscal Year Just | (Closed—The Cost of Runnin Our City—Im- | provements of Various Kinds. | T Is EXPECTED that before long the new St Matthew's Chureh edifice will rise on the site which was purchased several months ago on Rhode Island avenue just east of Connecticut avenue. The intention is to} make this building a} handsome architeetn- | ral design and it isun- | derstood that the same | architects whose design for the great Episcopal | cathedral which is to be erected in New York | ity was selected as the result of competition are eugaged in preparing the plans for thiseditice. It is therefore natural to expect that the new ebureh building wil! surpass anything of the sort in this city. The cdities is to be Roman- esque in design, and will be in the form of « Latin cross with a large dome at the intersec- tion. The dimensions are given as eue hundred and twenty feet wide and one hundred and seventy-five feet long. If not the finest church in the city it will certainly be the largest. There is no church in the city the outside dimensions of which equal those proposed for the new strue- ture. St. Alovaius, which is probably the largest eburch, i 240 feet long. but it hasa widtn of only 67 feet. The length of St. Dominic's Church is about 190 feet, but the width is 75 feet. The edifice of the First Congregational Church probably comes nearest the proposed Rew structure in dimensions. as it measures some 100 feet wide and 160 feet deep. With its galleries it has probably greater seating accom- | modation thar any other church edifice in the | city. The dimensions of others of the larger | ¢burch buildings in the city are aafollows: First | Presbyterian Church, 108 by 112 feet; Epiphane | Church, 80 by 150 ‘feet: Metropolitan M. E. Chureb, 75 by 120 feet, and the New York Ave- nue Church. 50 by 100 feet. THE PROPOSED SWEDEXBORGIAN CHURCH. A fine church edifice is to be erected by the Swedenborgian denomination. They have already a site selected. and, what ix perhaps | more gratifying, it is paid for. It has a front-| age of some eighty-eigh feet on 16th street at | the corner of Corcoraggstreet, for which the sum of $32.0°0 was paid. The congregat which represents the den mination in this city has contributed, and #0 have the members of | the denomination thronzhout the country. | After the ground was paid for the collection of | Money went on under the direction of an effi- | @ient committee. of which Mr. John Joy Edson | in. member, and is still 2 progres, and will | bealy soncinwe until all the money needed im band. The contributions now amount to 915,000, which makes quite a comfortable little | nest egg, and it seems probabie that before a oe active building operations will be | i ‘A TRAM OF ACTIVE BUILDING OPERATIONS. Nearly nine millions of dollary were ex- pended during the fiscal yea> just ended in brick and mortar. This is the story that the | figures in the office of the batlding inspector | tell. The year before the amount reached over nine millions, but the building then done. in this city was unprecedented. More money was spent in putting up houses and in i provements of various Kinds during the year | ending Jane 30. 1892, then in any previons year in the history of the city. It was an in-| ‘erease over the previcus year of about one | million and a quarter of doliars. In the num- | bers of new houses alone there were 783. more | houses put up in the year ending pone — ig e op ogee 2 ing June,’ 1891. During the past rear. the year ending June. "3, there were 2,720 new | houses erected in this city. < decrease over the record of the previous year of only about 200. The total amount expended in building improvements is oniy slightly less than that which isthe record of the banner building year. It is probable that the decrease is due largely to the law which went into effect in June last, which practically prohibited the erection of houses in alleys. Now. in order to get a permit to erect a house in an alley, it is Recewary, in the first ‘that the alley should have a width of thirty feet and that the building line should be tive feet back. Then the alley must have -vater. sewer and gas and mast run through from street to street. FEW ALLEY HOUSES. Ass result of this legislation but compara- tively few permits for alley houses hare been taken out during the year. This fact will nodoubt account for the slight falling off in the number of new houses erected during the year which has just closed compared with the record of the previous year. There is turther evidence of the acti buildmg in the fact that the — total ene expended in bailing during past year is nearly as great as that of the former year. So it may be said in spite ef the rather mors unfavorable conditions which have existed during the past year that Washington has maintained the gait which was set at such a rate during the year ending June. 1892. It is evident that this city is prosperous and is growing in population as it is in beaut; and in ail the qualltice which mak city e de- sirable and delightful place of residence. ‘THE COST OF RUNNING THE CITY. During the fiscal year which begins today the amount of money that will be available to meet the current municipal expenses is $5,413,000. In bulk this seems tobe a large sum of money. But when it is considered that it keeps the municipel goverament of a population of some 250,000 going for one year it does not seem to be so large after all. Especially is this trae when the various items of expense aro con- sidered. The single item of interest on the debt of the District and the pavments into the sinking fund amounts to 31.213,000. Then there iwexpended abouts million of doilars on the streeta. The public schools cost nearly a million, the police force about a half million, and these items alone when counted amount to nearly $4,000,000. Then there is the fire depart- ment and other expenses of a great city, which easily absorb the million anda half re- maining. All these large sums of money are expended by payments from the United States treasury with all the safeguards which are thrown about treasury disbursements. It is safe to say that in no city in this country ix euch a large percentage of the money collected from taxpayers expended for their benefit and ‘that of citizens generally as is the case in this efty. NO LONGER HALF AND HALT. ‘The government, which owns 57 per cent of the real estate in the city. contributes toward the expenses of the city one-half of the amount of the yearly appropriations. Upon this basi the District pave for the ear a little over $2,500,000 ard the government a similar | @mount But this sum does not represent the | entire expenditure of the District funds, to: the reason that $150,000 for the payment of the annual installment for the District's half in the Rock Creek Park ie not included. Neither is the sum of something like $75,000, representing the main- | ounted in. of the District's contribution toward tenance of the Zovlogical Park sometimes bappens that money raised taxation the citizens of the District and paid into the United States treasury is not xppropriated by Congress. thus leaving « balance of District | funds in the treasury. Several years ago this | Balance or surplus reached quite a large sum | and at one time it was something like a half | million of dollars. But during the tew years there have been extra charges brought | the District funds, wx, for example. the | Sipe cere fn the orc! of the cinwired| aqueduct extension and ite half in the cost of | the two parks, so that the outgo haa beea about | to the income. | 1 fs evident that as the revenues of the Dis- | trict increase there is a disposition on the part | of Congress to make certain expenses charges eaclusively against the District fad. In this | way the syetem of sharing the current expenses fe, in an indirect war, gradually being done away with. The District revenues last year were about $2,900,000. For the present year, under the operation of the new assessment. 1% ix estimated that the revenues will be about | $3,500,000. In that case. if the appropri- ations are kept at about the same figure, there will be nearly one million of doilars of the money raised from the people of the District by taxation, which wili be either left in the treasury or expended on mu- nicipal expenses in which Congress pays no It was no doubt with the view of chang- ‘ing the present ratio of bearing the cost of the It} the ail fre municipal expenses that Congress provided in the street extension bill that the maintenance and improvement of streets opened up under the provisions of this bill in the suburbs should be an exclusive charge on the District. THE DOWN-TOWN CLUB'S QUARTERS. It has become necessary for the Down-town Club, which occupies a portion of the upper story in the Washington Loan and Trust build-! ing. to enlarge its quarters in order to accom- date the growing membership. A proposition | will be made to the trust company to make some improvements which will bring this de- sired result about. It is proposed to occupy the entire top floor, and in addition by buildin through the present roof rooms can be obtain Yor the uso, of the kitehen and other domestic urposes, ‘The large room no as a smok- Jag dining room will be faraed into reading toom, with a library attached. The entire street front will be devoted to a ladies’ dininj room, and provision will be made for an small dining rooms. A domed skylight will be built through the roof directly over a large vestibule, which will be the general entrance to the club ‘rooms, The plans are thought to be complete, and if carried out will add very muck to the facilities of this popular club. ‘THE WALBRIDOR TRACT SUBDIVISION. A subdivision of a tract of seventy-two acres lying west of the Columbia road and extend- ing to Rock creek is being prepared. This property is owned by Gen. Walbridge and is the last of the tracts of land of any considerable size in the vicinity of the city in that region of the suburbs to come under the rule of the eur- veyor. ‘The subdivision will be made in ac- cordance with the plan of the city, and will have ninety-foot streets, the lots extending back to alleys twenty feet wide. Mi. HORSTMAN'S RESIDEXCE. One of the bandsomest dwellings of the year has recently been commenced ut 1710 Rhode Isiand avenue northwest by John McGregor, the builder, for F. 0. Horstman. The plans, which were prepared by Horublower & Mar- shali, call for a dwelling four stories in height, with'a large basement. The front will be of pressed brick with stone trimmings, and a cir- cular bay window running the entire height of | the building will increase the effect. The house will have a frontage of 28 feet 8 inches, running back 36 feet. ‘MR. BERMAN'S NEW BUILDING. ‘The contract has been given out for the erec- tion of a business building for Mr. A. Herman | wt the southwest corner of 7th and H_ streets. ‘The new building will have a frontage of forty | feet on 7th street and ninety-five feet on H street. ‘The basement will be buiit of stone and the four upper stories of brick. ‘The third and fonrth stories will be used for residence parposes. THE RECORD FOR THE WEEK. During the week ending yesterday but thirty- nine permits were issued from the office of the inspector of buildings for new dwellings. The record feil several thousand dollars off uf Inst week, and when the figures are added together the estimated cost 1s found to be but $98,200. Of this «um the northwest gets over half, being credited with seven new dwellings, costing 852,- 500. ‘The southwest did not get one, the north- east had seven, costing approximately $17,500, mall | while the southeast had t $2,500. ‘The county did three permits, costing $25,700.

From the Westminster Gazette, . Mr. Hamlyn, the beast, bird and reptile im- porter, has jast received a consignment of snakes, among them being a huge boa constrie- tor, asserted to be twenty-one fect in length. Somehow, probably while being removed from its traveling case to another prison, this reptile t loose yesterday (writes a correspondent), and adesperate struggle took place before it could Le restored to captivity. It got one man’s band in its mouth, and as I witnessed the scene through the window—the struggle took place just inside the shop—it seemed .to be gradually absorbing the limb. Altogether five men were present, including the unhappy fel- low held captive by the reptile, which made persistent and desperate efforts to enfold one or another of them in its deadly embrace. By alert dodging the men were able to avoid this, while at the same time taking measures to res- cue their mate from the reptile’s clutches. This they eventually accomplished by fastening a cord round its neck and drawing it tight till it was half strangled, and liberated the man’s arm from its capacious jaws. ‘The sufferer was harried off to the nearest hospital, while the suake was secured in abig box. ———__+e-_ ‘Two Hypocrites. in her cozy chamber, the curtains all drawn tight, Curled up in a great big rocker, Fair and sweet in the soft lamphght; A bombon box on the table ith the choicest of sweets was filled, Which she daintily nibbled while writing ‘The words that her lover thrilled: “On, i long for you now, my darling! ‘Without Fou my life seems drear; ‘There is never a bit of comfort For me aniess you are near!” She ai Ww And her lover read the letter As he sat in his nachelor’s den, Bit ls feet cocked np on the mlantet, in the usual way of men, ‘With a vox of cigars at his elbow, And a pipe aud a giass near by, And the smoke clouds wreathed above him As he echoed het lonely ery: “On, Long for you now, my darling! ‘Without you iny life seems drear; ‘There is not a bit of comfort For me unless you are ne: A Shrewd Boy.

TUESDAY’S BALTIMORE RACES Many of the Arlingtons Going Over to the Monumental City — Trip of the Capital Club to the Frying Pan—General Cycling News and Gossip. ee HERE IS, PERHAPS, no class of persons on the face of the earth among whom such a friendly and fraternal feeling exists as there is among the wheolmen, and it is often a blese- unfortunate enough to meet with a mishap on the road. Sektom does it happen that a rider of the silent steed whose iron horse becomes dicabled is forced to walk far, ifat all, for,as a rule, another rider is either with him or will come along and help him out of his difficulty. It was only last Sunday that a member of the Georgetown Cycle Club had his chain snap on him while on the Marlboro’ road, and had it not been for a good Samaritan from the Washing- ton Road Club he would have been in a sad predicament. There he was, ten miles or more from home, with no train anywhere near and with poor prospects of country wagon coming to his | Feseue. What to do he did not know, but pres- ently the good Samaritan came along and rode toa farm house some distance away and pro- cured some wire. Scorching back he managed to patch up the break and start the disabled wheel toward home. The rider had not gone far before another break occurred, but by this time the W. R. C. rider had gotten out of sight. But he missed the G. C. C. member some dis- tance along the road and returned. Again he Jost some time, but finally succeeded in getting the break repaired, and the disabled wheel came along, reaching home without any further trouble. Another demonstration of the fraternal feel- ing existing among the wheelmen was shown a few days ago when a chain was broken near thi Great Falls and the damage was so great that | repair was impossible. Like the rider of thi | disabled waeel on the Marlboro’ road he wa: Ppzzled as to what he would do to get home. lehad only to wonder a short while, for | several wheelmen came along, and on the Toad home they took turns in coasting the unfortu- | nate man, bringing him all the way to the ci These, however, ure only two illustrations of many incidents of a similar nature which are constantly occurring on the road. Club members are now interested in the | races which are to take place on the Fourth of | July on the Baltimore track. The Arlington | | Wheelmen are taking more interest in the | events than the other clubs, although the other | clubs will be represented in some way. Should the weather prove fine the races wil! attract | many wheelmen from this city, who will go | over on a morning train and witness the local | men make a good run for the prizes. ARLINGTON WHEELMEN. Owing to the Baltimore races next Tuesday | and the active interest being taken in the events by members of the club the Arlington Wheel- men will have no reguiar club run tomorrow. | There was no club run Inet Sunday for the reason that preparations were then in progress for members of the club to capture prizes at Roanoke, Va.,and Phtiadelphia. At Roanoke the club was represented by W. T. Robertson, ex-captain of the club, Clarence Palmer and J. C. Hunter, and at the close of the two days’ meet there were few prizes for distribution to Virginia or riders other than thove who represented the Arlingtons. Robert son captured five first prizes, three second prizes and one third prize. Palmer carried off two first prizes, four second prizes and two third prizes. Hunter secured two first prizes, three second prizes and one third prize. In addition to these Robertson and Palmer secured the first prize in the team race. At Philadel phia Messrs. Hutchings and Clapp represented the club. The former won first prize in the novice and the latter won a prize in the haif- mile race. ‘Messrs. Robertson and Palmer rode a century between Salem and Staunton on their way home, and found the road in bad condition. GEORGETOWN CYCLE CLUB. ‘The Georgetown cyclers always have u good time on their runs.and last Sunday's run was by no means an exception. Instead of going on the scheduled run to Brookville, Capt. Cook led the party to Marlboro’, the home of the late Pinkney. The start was made from Tae Stan office and eyelometers carried by the wheelmen showed the distance to be about twenty miles, There was a large crowd on the run and along the road cherries were picked and eaten to the tent that some extract of ginger was neces- sary when the county seat of Prince George's was reached. While in the town several of the wheelmen went over to the jail and held quite achat with Pinkney, the murderer, and before leaving they sent him in some cigars. Tomor- row the club will go to Brookville and next Wednesday a trip to Cabin Jobn will be made in the evening. CAPITAL BI. CLUB. “Frying Pan" is the name of a place not more than eight miles from Fairfax Court House, and it was there that the members of the Capital Bi. Club went last Sunday. ‘There is nothing particularly attractive at the place except that the wheelmen always get a good old-fashioned Virginia dinner, a change of diet that is considered healthful, and which the wheelmen naturally enjoy after along ride over the road. Many of the members were ont of town and consequently there was not a largo attendance on the run. Several shorter rides wore taken by members during the day, one party going to Marshall Hall. This evening the three Gaye tour through Pennsylvania starts and Capt. Wirt expects at least a score of men to ride over the Lancaster pike and enjoy the good roads in Penusylvania. While the wheelmen are on the road the whist players are keeping up their end of the hne. Last week they figured in the interna. tional whist tournament in Chicago, and while they did not come out abead in the club gamer, W. T. Bingham and J. McK. Borden won the first prize in the pair contest, a large and hand- some hall clock, which will hereafter adorn the club rooms. A short run will be taken tomorrow by those who do not go on the three days’ tour. P. DQ. CLUB. Arun to Dickey's, led by Capt. Riley, was the program of the P. D. Q. Club last Sunday, and the trip proved the most enjoyable outing A run to enjoyed by a bieycle club, especially at this season of the year, when, in the words of an enthusiastic wheelman, “spring chickens are ripe.” There was a good attend- ance on the run, and the entire day was spent in the country. Tomorrow the club will make their first cen- tury run on the Frederick road. In order to insure @ good attendance the club will present century bars to all members making the cen- tury within fourteen hours. Mr. Lockwood, a member of the club, has just returned from a wheeling trip through New York. At Brooklyn he was entertained by the Kings County Wheeimen and at Long Island by the Long Island Cycle Club. Senator” Morgan, the bicycle writer of Chicago, has been elected an honorary mem- ber, and an application for membership has | been received from John Palmer, the celebrated | English ride: WASHINGTON ROAD CLUP. The Washington Road Club has by no means disappeared from the road, although they have not been making their usual number of runs lately. Last week, however, they made a trip to Frederick, making a century with n dozen members in the party. During the week many of the members have been or the road a morrow a club run will be taken at 9 a. m. CARROLL. INSTITUTE CYCLERS. Messrs. J. F. Ochsenreiter and I’.

The residents of Harrisonburg insisted upon the wheelmen staying in their city in order to take part in their celebration on the Fourth,but owing to the lack of time the offer had to be declined. Several races between mules and the wheels Tesulted in the wheels coming in first, with the mule and his rider on the top of the hill; the moral can be surmised. CYCLING NOTES. William Reed, a colored boy, is serving two months in jail for stealing a bicycle from near the old Ford’s Theater building on the day of the fatal disaster. Ho was arrested through the efforts of Mr. B. E. Dakin, who has made a record as a bicycle detective. Edward De Wint, the boy under indictment here for the larceny of # Union wheel from Harry Higham, has been arrested in New York fora similar offense there and sentenced to a reformatory institution. ‘The W. It. C., A. W., G.C. C. and the Capital Bi. Club, as well 2s members of the Invincible Road Club, will appoint committees to. meet in the near future to take some steps toward se curing a bicycle track here. W. J. Espey of the W. Rt C. and Ed. Terry of the A. W. rode to River View last Sunday. This is becoming a popular resort for wheelmen. Secretary Stearns is endeavoring to secure reduced rates to Chicago for the L. A.

From the Lancet. One evil traceable to bicycling is the con- firmed stoop which has already declared itself im many wheelmen, a result so common in the less strongly built bicyclists of the continent as to have found its way into classification as the “kyphosis bicyclistarum.” The dorsal curvature posteriorly, which used to be rare in boys under fourteen years of age, is, now that the bicycle is so largely used, very frequently met with, particularly among those | young bicyclists whose spinal column is de- veloping more rapidly than the ligaments and muscles, and in whose case, therefore, the equilibrium between those parts is more or less disturbed. Were it merely an unsightly deformity, the loop in question ought to be combated in every way; but confirmed dorsal curvature pos- teriorly has consequences of its own quite mis- chievous enough to call for immediate counter- action. The displacement, embarrassed func- tional activity and arrested or diseased develop- ment of these organs, which kyphosis inevit- ably induces, are all too serious to warrant the slightest neglect in remedying them. Exercise of akind to accustom the spinal columim to an action directly antagonistic to the inclination forward of the bicyclist’s atti- tude is what is needed. The use of the Indian | clubs or such similar means of inenrvating the | spine anteriorly, throwing out the chest and maintalning the head erect, should be prac- ticed with that object. All the undoubted ad- vantages of bicycling may thus be retained without that cultivation of the stoop which | ture of its inveterate exponents and to impose a hunch- | backed development on what it would then | tion. —— The Glorious Fourth at Bay Ridge.

There are many reasons why a base ball club should keep the same men from one end of the season to the other, says the Boston Globe. The most important reason, however, is the giving away of the “signs.” Every time a player is released it becomes necessary to change the Last season the Bostons went to Brooklyn and were posted on Capt, Ward's signs, as given away by Third Baseman Pinckney, who had been released and was anxious to see the Brooklynsdefeated. When the pitcher's signs are discovered, bat- ting becomes easy. A straight ball and acurve are about all that are called for. ‘There are many different ways of giving the signal. The one most in use at the present time in the league is for the catcher to squat close to the ground and signal with his hands from between his knees. This is to prevent the men on the coaching lines from seeing the movements. ‘Mason of Harvard signals with his arm ex- fended at ful leng?h, resembling sign board. Ihave yet to hear of any one getting on to ‘Mason's signals. Jim Devlin, the old Lonisville pitcher, did his own signaling with o toothpick in his mouth. Scott Hastings, perhaps the first man to signal the pitcher, worked his feet. Charley Snyder always worked his fingers from the side of his hips, and when he in- tended to throw to bases ho pushed his mask up with his hands, ‘Mike Kelly would put his hand on his head when the next ball was bound for second bare, and Joe Quinn would be on hand. Mike Kelly and Morgan Murphy are always on the lookout for a throw. Often the ball is thrown to third by the catcher when a player is taking too much ground at second, the idea being to get the ball to second by way of third. When the coachers are using language that seems foreign to the game the spectators must remember that nino times in ten it’s well understood by the players. ‘The whole game is figured down to scientific signaling, and the men that lose their heads and get mixed up generally get beaten. Now and then some team will bang away and win games, but they seldom pull out of batting contests unless well up in the best points to try for and the best percentage in each. ———cor—___ These May Be Warm Days in Washington, But they are not at Bay Ridge.

Soe Modern Kacing Practices—Monmouth Park to Upen Monday—Guttenburg to Give Way to Brighton Beach — Domino a Crack. Jack—Racing Gossip. soe HE RACE FOR THE Realization stakes at Sheepshead Bay this af- ternoon will be of rare interest, as Boundless, the winner of the Amer- ican Derby, will meet the best of the eastern colts. There will be no perating delays at the post, as there were at Chicago, and the track is broad enongh to give all the starters plenty of room. The field will not be so large as that which ran in the Derby, but the finest of the colts which took part in that race, with the exception of Clifford, who ran third, will fight their battle over again, and this time on fairer torms. Boundless will have every chance to repeat his Chicago victory if he has the speed and staying power to defeat St. Leonards, Sir Walter, Don Alonzo and Ramapo ata mile and five furlongs over the Sheepshead Bay course, The stakes will be about $35,000 and tho race will inspire a sec- tional feeling, which may be expected to draw out a Suburban crowd, East- ern owners and eastern trainers are not willing to admit that Boundless is superior to the fastest colts of his age in the east, and they desire that the question hall be decided by a more thorough and impartial test than that given in the Ameaican Derby, with its many false starts, ite delay of more than an hour and 8 balf at the post, and its other untoward inci- dents which worked to the disadvantage of the eastern candidates. Boundless is in excellent condition. He does not show the least sign of any bad effects from his journey from Chicago. Many awners and trainers who have seen bim at the track agree that he appeared to be per- fectly fit’ Mr. Cushing, his owner, and all his friends are confident that Boundless will defeat again the colts which he vanquished at Chicago. Gerrison will ride St. Leonards and Fitzpat- rick will ride Boundless, James R. Keene now owns the best two-year old colt in the country, and perhaps in the world. He also owns the second best. When Domino won the Great Trial Stakes at Sheeps- head Bay Tuesday, with Hyderabad second, | both carrying the Keene colors, the spectators were reminded of the Futurity of 1890, when Angust Belmont’s Potomac and Masher took both places. But Domino is a faster colt than Potomac, while Hyderabad is vastly superior to Masher, who never ran a creditable race after the Futurity. The Great Trial Stakes is the third of the five chief two-year-old races of the east. rst of the five in Order of time comes the Great American, given by the Brooklyn Jockey Club, at Gravesend; next the Great Eclipse, given by the New York Jockey Club, at Morris Park; third, tho Great Trial; fourth, the Junior | Champion, at Monmouth Park, and fifth, inst, and richest of ail, the Futurity, given by the Coney Island Jockey Club, at Sheepshead Bay. Both of Mr. Keene's colts, Domino and Hydera- bad, aro in the Futurity, so that the richest turf prize of the year, richer even than the American Derby fairly m Mr. Keene's grasp, unless sickness or accident disables this excellent pair. Bp Recorder truly says: Sport, so far as the turf is concerned, is a misnomer nowadays. Racing horses is a business pure and simple, and tho man who possesses money aud fine stock, but who fails to appreciate this fact.generally turns Cut aloser, the Jeromes, the Witherses, the Hunters, the Astors have quit the gamo and now sit outside the raile. As a matter of fact, ced for sport are getting tired v few few people interested in the game now think of the good old days of Tom Bowhng, of Aristides, the red horse; of | Ten Broeck, Harry Bassett,of Travers, Jerome, Hunter, Withers, Lorillard and Price McGrath. Then racing was'a sport. Now it isa business, aud all the shrewdness and cunning of the dealer in second-hand goods are brought into play, and the fair, open and above-board work of the true sportsman is merely a reminiscence. Of courso it is justifiable to be shrewd on the turf and in racing matters, just as it is in bus- iness, but there isa limit to the exercise of shrewdness, and turfmen should not go beyond that limit. ’ But unfortunately they do so, and while nothing dishonest can be attributed to them, yot their work is nothing if not prejadi- cial tothe best interests of the gamo they aro generally believed to be promoters of. ETCH. The defeat of Kingston by Lamplighter Thursday in a dach of seven furlongs was most tonishing. It was not eo much a matter of rise that Lamplighter should have beaten Kingston, but the thorough nature of the defeat was astonishing. Kingston, who carried a $15,000 commission of. bis owner, showed no speod at any part of the race and was even beaten by the selling-plater Gold Dollar. Lamplighter made the pace. The first quarter was run in twenty-seven seconds, but “during the next quarter the pace juickened. Tt was run in twenty-three seconds, Lamplighter won by two lengths, pulling up. The Guttenburg meeting will be bronght toa close earlier than was at first contemplated by ite managers, Thin is due to the friendly feel- ing existing between George Engemann and Gottfield Walbaum, and consequently Gutten- burg will close up today, so as not torun on the dates of the Brighton Beach Association, which begins its meeting on July 4.and continues for thirty days. Monmouth Park will race on the Brighton Beach, but as the class these two tracks is very distinct, neither will suffer materially from such conflict. The death of Cataract is a serious blow to the two-year-old division of the Rancocas stable. Cataract, like a majority of the Brookdale-bred horses, war what western turfmen call churn- headed. He threw his rider a half dozen times before yesterday, but was easily captured. He was a peculiar colt, He would be standing quietly, and then, without warning, would jump in the air at least five feet. When he threw off his rider vesterday he attempted to jump the fence sideways, toppled over and roke his back. ‘The boy received some severe bruises. He was not sent toa hospital, but will remain at the stable. A great meeting is looked for at Monmouth when the gates open on Monday next. Assist- ant Secretary Hugh D. McIntyre has prepared and caused to be distributed the book program for the first nineteen days. Races for ail kinds of horses are to be found within its covers. On the opening dav the Atlantic stakes for two- year-olds and the Trenton stakes for three-yes olds will be run, while the old-time Fourth of July handicap, the Independence stakes and the Eatontown stakes will be run on Tuesday Tuly 4.

As was stated in Tax Stan a week ago, it is intended to clean up the rifle practice of each com- mand on one day. some- thing never attempted heretofore. The effort should be appreciated by every officer and enlisted man, for it will save time, and time to many national guards- men is justso much money. Regimental, bat- talion and company commanders will be urged to extraordinary activity in the matter of securing the attendance of every man who can Possibly report on the dates specified, and they Will be assisted somewhat by the fact that am- munition will not be issued gratuitously except on the days set apart for the official class prac- tice. It will be noted that opportunities for voluntary practice are going to be sufficiently plentiful to make possible the improvement of scores made on days when the official ehoot- ing will be done, but it is nevertheless hoped by those who have the real interests of the brigade at heart that not less than 80 per cent of the men will be present on the days named in paragraph 1 of the order. The pro- | cedure will be without complication, each bat- talion reporting to the range oficer at 8:45 am. of itsday. Forty rounds of ammunition ‘will be issued to each officer and enlisted man, the details of markers will be sent into the butte and firing at 200 yards will commence immediately thereafter.
