It was 5:30 when the start was made in the Brooklyn Handicap at Gravesend race- track yesterday afternoon. And such a Start it was! Lowlander, the winner of last year’s Suburban, was standing still and did mot get away at all, while Clifford, the heavily-backed favorite, seemed to be prac- tically left at the post. A howl arose from the crowd, for they Saw that with such a disadvantage it was impossible for the western champion to do anything whatever. Copyright was the first away, Henry of Navarre second, Herald third, Dr. Rice fourth, Blitzen fifth and the others bunched as follows: Banquet, Sir Walter, Comanche, Ajax, Bassetlaw and Diablo, while Clifford and Sport were almost standing still, although they got in motion immediately and started on a hopeless chase. ‘Down through the stretch they ran, gath- ering speed with each bound and thundering past the judges’ stand, a quarter of a mile from the post, with all running well. Copy- right, with his mouth wide open, a head in front of Dr. Rice, whum Taral had taken into second place. Half a length away was Henry of Navarre, under an easy pull, while Herald and the despised Blitzen followed closely behind. Clifford Hopelessly Lett. Then there was a bunch in this order: Banquet, Comanche, Ajax, Sir Walter, Bas- setlaw and Diablo. Twenty lengths behind were Clifford, the pride of the west, and Sport, in the dust kicked up by the others, with no chance of winning unless all of the leaders fell. A groan went up from the thousands who had bet on Clifford, now without even a chance of having a run for their money. It was disheartening to the owners of the crack, who had sent him so far for the race. Around the turn they flashed, with very little jostling for so sharp a turn and so narrow a track, and when the half-mile mark was reached and they were straight- ened out for the run through the back stretch, Dr. Rice was a head in front of Copyright, and thvs far a few inches ouly had, separated their noses as they ran side by side, so close that a blanket would have covered both. Two lengths behind was Henry of Navarre, @ head in front of Herald, and all running easily. Blitzen was still hanging on to fifth Place in good style, while Doggett thought it Was about time to bring Sir Walter up, and he was sixth at the half mile. Comanche Was still in the seventh place. Banquet had fallen back to eighth and Ajax was beginning to hold out signals of distress in ninth place. Bassetlaw and Di- ablo followed, and Sport and Clifford were far in the rear, unable to gain an inch on the flying fie. Taral’s Masterly Riding. ‘They passed the three-quarter mark with Henry of Navarre in the lead, a head in front of Copyright, with Dr. Rice within striking distance and Taral handling him in a masterly fashion. Sir Walter was fourth an@ Bassetlaw was becoming dangerous, for he had moved up five pegs and looked good for much more. Comanche was sixth, Banquet seventh and Diablo eighth. The mile was covered by Henry of Navarre in 1.42, and he was a head in front of Dr. Rice, who had come up. Copyright had dropped back to sixth place. Sir Walter was a length behind Dr. Rice and two lengths ahead of Bassetlaw, who was still very much in the race. The others were running in the order that they the three-quarter pole and completely out of it. In the Stretch. Into the stretch the horses flew, Sir Wal- ter and Bassetlaw getting whip and spur. Dr. Rice began to wear down the gallant Yhree-year-old, and, driving with hands and feet, Clayton was urging on Navarre to his utr dst, but his horse was stopping fast under hira. Baasétlaw was hanging on to Sir Walter, with Comanche close behind. Amid frantic yells’ ftom the crowd, and as the watch ticked 2.07 1-4, Dr. Rice, the cast-off from the Gideon and Daly stables, flashed under the wire, a length in front of Henry of Navarre, with the great Sir Walter one and a half lengths behind and two lengths in front of Bassetlaw. Comanche was Afth and the others anywhere, all in the stretch. Hats went into the air, and, for the sec- ond year in succession, Taral was placed in the floral jockey’s chair and carried off by a crowd. It was a true run race and well won. Lowlander was not a factor, and Clifford and Sport, owing to the faulty Start, were not given a chance to show their . work, + CHANTS KENTUCKY DERBY. The Odds on Favorite Easily Disposes of His Field. Over 15,000 people asembled at Churchill Downs, Louisville, Ky., yesterday to see the contest for the twentieth renewal of the Kentucky Derby. Although this race has steadily depreciated in importance as a turf event for several years, the honor of taking this classic trophy is still keenly competed for by the Kentucky breeders,as it is regard- éd as the highest test of the thoroughbred colt’ to take up 122 pounds over a mile and a half in racing at the beginning of the sea- son. The smart thunder shower at noon improved the track, laying the dust, and leaving it in good condition, as the time made in other events on the day's card in- dicates, Lexin, sent a for the blue ribon and turf stake; but as the Falsetto colt, Chant, came from the Lexington meeting to this course, they sup- perted him. Practical turf men also favor- ed a horse who had already run and won as against unknown quantities, making Chant a prohibitive favorite, and the result in the race showed the wisdom of the judg- ment of the many, as Chant “won all the way” as he pleased. The horses got away on the second break. Tom Etmore making the most of a running start and showing half a dozen lengths in the van for the first quarter, when Pearl Song took up the running and showed the way to the stand. Here Chant drew up from the bunch, and was in front for the run up the back stretch, and running easy under Goodale’s restraining pull, he kept just in front of his field in the stretch. At this point, the last quarter of the distance, the bunch had become a procession, and Chant easily stalling off the challenges of Pearl Song and Sigurd, galioped down to the finish and won by good six lengths from Pearl Song, who was ten lengths in front of Sigurd. Time 2:41, on, the blue grass capital, has not AGAIN THE OLD STORY. Poor Fielding and Weak Hitting De- feat the Washingtons. The score of yesterday's regular daily defeat of the Washington Base Ball Club was 16 to 7. The Brooklyn people say that it was the poorest exhibition of ball play- ing seen in that vicinity for some time. As the game did not rival in interest the great Brooklyn handicap, only a small num- ber was in attendance at Eastern Park. Pet- ty, McGuire and Dugdale and Stein,Lachance and Kinslow were the batteries. Joyce was forced to retire from the game at the end of the seventh inning because of a sore knee, Ward taking his place. The regular slaughter occurred in the sixth inning, when the Bridegrooms scored six times because of an error by Tebeau and a number of singles and two-base hits.

Petty, late of the Polo grounds, was at the pitcher's mark for the W: ns. He was remarkably wild from the start of the game, and, be- sides, the Brooklyns touched him up freely. Petty’s pitching was poor, and the Wash- ingtons’ fielding was poorer still. They do not play as they did against the New Yorks. It may be that their frightful uniform is beginning to tell on their playing. At any rate, with an exception or two, they are in- different players. Abbey and Sullivan did good work, each making a sensational play. Sullivan caught @ hot line drive from Shoch’s bat with one hand and doubled up Daly, who had started away from first when the ball was hit. Abbey’s play was a catch of a swiftly moving fly ball. He was run- ning backward, and the momentum caused him to turn a dangerous somersault, but he ss to the ball. Fortunately, he was un- art. Boston’s Grand Stand Destroyed. The grand stand at the South End grounds, which was burned yesterday, was probably the finest base ball grand stand in the coun- try, excepting that at Philadelphia, and cost the Boston Club $75,000. The club owns the ground, embracing a whole block, for which they were recently offered $200,000 by the Boston and Providence Railroad Com- pany. When the game was called each club, Boston and Baltimore, had made three runs. The champions will probably take immedi- ate possession of the old Brotherhood grounds on which to play their coming games, of which they have twenty-eight scheduled et home in the next twenty-eight week days. Base Ball Notes. It would seem that the Washington club is badly in need of good pitchers. If so, what's the matter with Tim Keefe and Terry? Stocksdale is suffering from a bad attack of inflammatory rheumatism. He will be removed from Brooklyn to his home in Bal- timore, where it ts thought he will be forced to remain for at least a month. The wisdom of strengthening the local team has been seen, and Manager Schmelz has wired President Young, laying claim to the services of Tim O’Rourke, who has an excellent record, and has been released by Louisville. A young Brooklyn twirler named Pfann will pitch against the Gilbert, the Brooklyns’ third baseman, will be farmed out to the Buffalo club of the Eastern League.

Play in the fifteenth game of the chess Match between Steinitz and Lasker was commenced at Montreal yesterday after- noon at the Cosmopolitan Club.

More Athletic Records Broken. The inter-class games of the Athletic As- sociation of the University of Pennsylvania at the college grounds at Philadelphia yes- terday resulted in the breaking of three col- lege records. E. W. Kelsey lowered the time for the half-mile run from 2:03 1-2, held by E. M. Church, to 2:03, and Norman T. Leslie smashed the one hundred and twenty yards hurdle record from 16 4-5 sec- ends to 16 2-5 seconds. It was also thought at first that G. M. Coates, in the two-mile bicycle race, had broken the intercollegiate record by riding the distance in 5:22, but he only succeeded in lowering the college record of 5:28, held by Osgood, as E. B. Gorly, '96, of Cornell, lowered the intercollegiate record to 5:13 in the Cornell games of Ithaca, N. Y., last Saturday. In the one-mile relay race, between the Pennsylvania and Princeton College teams, the blue won, finishing about twenty yards ahead of the orange-and-black representatives. The time was three min- utes thirty-one seconds. _— BROKE HIS FATHER’S PIPE. Little A it Beek Fell F: a Third Story Window on to His Parent's Back August Beck, four years old, had a re- markable escape from death at his parents’ home, 14 Hamburg avenue, Brooklyn, the other morning. William Beck, his wife and child live on the third floor at the above address. This morning Beck was sitting on the steps in the back yard, smoking a pipe, while his wife and child were in their rooms above. Young August, unobserved, climbed to the window sill and leaned out. He saw his father in the yard, and called to him. At that moment he lost his balance and fell. Beck was quietly smoking when his son landed full on his back. The father was knocked over by the shock and received a scalp wound. Little August was uninjured, and did not even cry. In fact, he seemed to think it a clever piece of work. The only thing broken was his father’s pipe. ————-+0+. Tenure of Methodist Bishops. At the weekly meeting of the Methodist Episcopal ministers’ session, at Pittsburg on Monday, a heated discussion was caused by the reading of a paper by Rev. J. A. Miiler, favoring modifications in the man- agement of the entire Methodist Episcopal system. The principal matter at issue was the power of the bishops, and the paper Suggested that in the future bishops should be elected for terms of four years, instead was unable to bunch its hits.

Fire Which Started in the Ball Park Does Great Damage at Boston. Over a million dollars’ worth of Boston property is in ashes, over five hundred fam- ilies of the medium and poorer classes, con- sisting of over two thousand people, are homeless, and many of them who had not time to save a portion of their household furniture last night slept in the open air. The fire covered a space of twenty acres, and, as far as can be learned, six persons have been injured, but none fatally. The fire started in the Boston league ball park in a pile of lumber, which was lying under the right-field bleachers, directly back of first base. In a moment it had leaped up to the seats and, fanned by a brisk breeze, swept to- ward the grand stand. So rapidly did the flames spread that before the occupants of the grand stand realized it the fire was upon them and they were forced to flee. The left-field bleachers were next ignited. Meanwhile the sparks had fallen upon the houses on Berlin street and the flames surged on toward Tremont street, reaching out to the right and left, until the entire square between the ball grounds and Tre- mont street and extending north from Wal- pole street to Burke street was a mass of burning bufldings. The Sherwin Kinder- garten school house, a brick structure, checked the progress of the fire for only a moment, and that, too, was quickly num- bered among the structures consumed. The buildings on the south side of street were soon burned. The flam down toward Coventry street on that side of Tremont nearest the ball grounds. They swept on in this direction for three squares, as far as Burke street, devouring the homes of the men and women who were working with frantic energy to get out their house- hold goods, and even before they could re- move these to a safe place the walls burned and crumbled down. At 5 o'clock the entire block along the west side of Tremont street from Walpol to Burke was a brilliant mass of flames, which swept across to the opposite side and soon engulfed the buildings for four blocks. Shortly after 6 o'clock several steamers arrived from Lynn, Salem, Beverly, Brook- line and Lawrence, and every effort was made to stop the fire at Cabot street. But it could not be checked, and not until it had burned from Cabot street half way through to Warwick street and north to Burke street was the limit of the burned district on the southeast side of the ball grounds reached, While the firemen were fighting on this side the fire was spreading from Walpole toward Wilford place on the southwest side of the ball grounds, and in half an hour all the buildings in this block were in ruins. The fire burned on until it reached Ruggles street at one point and consumed the houses on both sides of Chapel street and laid low the structures on Sudbury street. At Ruggles street on the west and Cabot street on the southeast the fire was practi- cally stopped, and at 7:30 o'clock it was under control and in no danger of spread- ing further. It is estimated that about 100 buildings have been burned and about 500 families rendered homeless. The new houses of ladder company No. 21 and hose No. 7, on Tremont street, were destroyed. Alderman Bryant's residence, on Walpole street, and his store, on Tre- mont street, were also destroyed. A special meeting of the board of alder- men was called last evening to take action upon the exigencies of the case, and it was voted to use the surplus of $4,000 now held by the trustees of the Johnstown flood for the relief of the two thousand people made homeless by the conflagration yesterday afternoon. The meeting was adjourned to today, when some further means will be devised to aid those in distress. Prominent insurance men place the loss at rising of a million dollars and the in- surance at about two-thirds of the loss. oo Lecture by Chaplain Bagby. Last night at the Ninth Street Christian Church the Rev. E. B. Bagby, chaplain of the House of Representatives, delivered his lecture, entitled “Uncle Rastus of Virginia.” It was a picture of the life and character of the old-time colored patriarch of the tide-water region of that state. The speak- er was thoroughly familiar with his sub- ject, and regards the character which he describes as being one of the most unique types to be found in our broad national life. He told many anecdotes illustrative of the negro character, and moved his large audi- ence to both laughter and tears. He spoke of their patient fidelity, their devotion to the family in the “great house,” their wit and humor, their religious devotion, and de- scribed with light and humorous touch their weaknesses. It was Mr. Bagby’s first effort as a lec- turer, but, judging from the pleasure ex- pressed by his audience and the applause which they gave him, it should not be his last. Mrs. Smith of the Ninth Street choir sang as a prelude the old-time song, “ "Way Down Upon the Suwanee River.” The pro- ceeds were for the benefit of the church building fund. —_—— A three days’ convention of the New Eng- land Evangelists’ Association opened at | Boston yesterday.

Congressman Bourke Cockran caused a sensation by his remarks at the Catholic educational exhibit, opened at New York Monday night. Archbishop Corrigan was fol- lowed py Mr. Cockran, who said he was amazed that at this part of the nineteenth century it was found necessary to repel the charge that the Catholic Church was hos- tile to republican institutions. The next words of Mr. Cockran created almost a sensation. He was speaking of the loyalty of Catholics to the republic. Ad- vancing toward the archbishop with fore- finger outstretched he declared with impas- sioned eloquence that he would accept the teachings of the church from his grace with the reverence as befitted a son of the church. “But if the day should ever come,” and here MrCockran’s voice rose until it echoed through the big hall, making the rafters ring, “but if the day should ever come,” he 8 So close to the hbishop that his out- retched forefinger almost touched his nose, “when from a Catholic pulpit you utter one word hostile to the integrity of this govern- ment, I tell you that if such language falls from your lips it will be heretical. You will be false to the republic and false to the church that placed the consecrated oil upon your hands for the blessing of your chil- dren.” A sudden murmur of astonishment ran throggh the hall and people looked at one another as the words of the speaker came forth. It was quickly followed by a great burst of applause. —— e+ -__——_ Dinner to Admiral Walker. From ‘the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser. Mrs. S. G. Wilder entertained Admiral Walker at a dinner given at her residence, Judd street, on Monday evening. The table cards were in pretty water colors, repre- senting many actual bits of scenery in Hawaii, that of the admiral representing some social scene of his early youth when a midshipman on the Portsmouth at the time she was lying in our harbor in 1853. Another card presented a view of the Waianae mountains from Punchbowl. The unique and most interesting feature of the dinner was that its entire service was made by three ladies, members of Mr. Wil- der’s family, who discharged their offices with remarkable skill and celerity. They were dressed in white, as waitresses, and around their white caps were bands with the gilded letters “Philadelphia,” in honor of the admiral. One of them did the clever artistic work on the cards, Shortly afterward the fair waitresses were transformed into clever musicians, and ren- dered some excellent instrumental and vocal music. The guests were the admiral, President and Mrs. Dole, Chief Justice Judd, Capt. Barker, Mr. and Mrs. Glade, Mrs. H. A. P. Carter, Miss Helen Judd and Mr. W. N, Armstrong. ——__+e-+_____ Senate Confirmations. The Senate in executive session yesterday made the following confirmations: Thomas F.

Mr. Ena, who seems to be the Hawaiian Holman, said he would vote for the salary of envoy, but would move to strike out the salary of secretary following. If the envoy was fit for his position, there should be no need of @ secretary. Minister Hatch thought it a bad time to hamper the governmert in its representa- tion at Wi n. Minister Damon argued that the time had not arrived for dispensing with any of its mediums of communication with the United States government. Mr. Emmeluth, who is a Dockery-like legislator, said he did not see any necessity for a secretary. Mr. Allen would agree with Mr. Emme- luth if extraordinary conditions did not ex- ist. In a state of settled relations between the two countries Hawaii might do with less representation. Minister Smith said he had been told by Mr. Armstrong that the minister from Ha- wali was the poorest paid foreign repre- sentative there. The little country of Vene- zuela paid its minister $20,000 a year. While the situation at Washington caused them great anxiety, he could not understand @ proposition to do away with this office. Mr. Tenney asked if the ministers consid- ered that the office of secretary of legation Was positively ne . Minister Hatch answered that it was highly necessary. At this juncture he vould as soon support a motion for restora- tion of the monarchy as one to cripple the legation at Washington. Both items passed as in the bill. —_-e-_______ CAPTURE OF ALTENBERGER. Katie Rupp’s Murderous Sweetheart Caught at Utica. Bernhardt Altenberger, the assailant of Katie Rupp, at Snake Hill, N.
