FLORIDA ATRLBTIGCLUB TRANSFERRED Southwest Worked Up Over the Battle. WHAT WILLTHE GOVERNORDO CHICAGO, Ill, June 13.—Daniel Stewart reached Chicago last evening from New York, where he had been to arrange for the championship battle between Corbett and Fitzsimmons. He is now on his way to Dallas to arrange for the building of a mammoth amphitheater, in which the men will settle the question of fistic superiority. “The Florida Aibletic ‘Club has simply been transferred to Dallas,” he said. “I met the parties in New York with a plain business proposition. I produced a copy of Texas statutes, showing that there is no law in the state against bringing off a battle. I told them if the Florida Athletic Club was transferred to Dallas I must be elected president ard treasurer of the club. Dwyer, Vendig and Friend thought this over, and the result is that I was elected president and treasurer of the Florida Ath- letic Club, and the club is transferred to Dallas. “I am now on my way to Dallas to begin the construction of the amphitheater in which the fight will take place. It will be a mammoth structure, built in octagonal shape. There will be four entrances. The seating capacity wil! be 40,000. There will be 250 boxes, with ten chairs in each. The price for boxes has not been determined, but the admission will be $10, with reserved seats §20. During the week in which the fight will take place there will be a fair in Dallas, and to this there will be ex- cursion rates from all the surrounding states. I have secured a cheap rate from two eastern lines. The Fight Thursday, October 31, “Corbett and Fitzsimmons will meet on Thursday, October 31. Thero will be one other contest, probably between Dixon and Plimmer. “I have seen accounts in the papers about an indignation meeting at Dallas against the big fight—a meeting of seventy- eight persons, at which, by a majority of six, it was decided to protest against the battle. The opposition, if this be true, is not very powerful. Their protest cannot be effective, since no law is being violated. I have only to pay the license fee provided for entertainments to bring off the affair, and am thereby within the law of the state of Texas and the ordinances of the city of Dallas. I shall carry out my part of the agreement to the letter, and all tne men have to do is to get into the ring and fight.” i The Southwyxt Goes Wild. DALLAS, Texas, June 13.-The southwest has gone wild over the Corbett-Fitzsim- wnons match. The fdHowing was received at the Corey Island, Turf Exckange, ad- dressed to Stewart &.Co.: “ESTACADO, Texas, June 12.—Don't for- get to reserve plenty.of room for the west- ern cattlemen.

BW YORK A’ Cc CLUB. An Eight-Story House to Be Put Up Opposite Central Park. NEW YORK, June 13.—At a recent gen- eral meeting of ti ew York Athletic Club it was decided to build an eight, in- stead of a seven-story club house on the property at 5¥ih street and Gth avenue. President Whiteley was in the chair, and about 350 members were present. One of the signs of the feeling in the organiza- tion was a cable message received from George J. Gould, offering to subscribe $20,- 00 toward the fund for the new building. After a short discussion it was decided to accept Mr. Belmont’s resolution approv- ing the project of a new building and em- ring the governors to take the nece: steps toward carrying forward the The resolution provides for the raising of $150,000 on first mortgage at 4% per cent, and $300,000 on second mart- gage bonds at 5 per cent, and the selling of the Sth street property. The list of subscriptions to the building fund were then opened and $109,000 was speecily subscribed. It was said that these figures would have reached $200,00) at once had it not been that several members will- ing to put down their names as large in- vestors, one of them to the extent of $50,- 000, are awaiting the decision as to the plan for the new edifice. If a satisfactory plan is agreed upon they will come for- ward at once. 2 RAIN SAVED THE SENATORS. The Reds Were in the Lead—Notes of the Players. A mighty yell of joy went up from the 2,000 people at the Washington-Cincinnati game yesterday when, during the last half of the fourth inning, the rain came down in such volume as to not only interrupt play, but also to put the grounds in such condition as to make a resumption of the game impossible. The score then stood 5 to 1 in favor of the visitors, and as they were proving themselves very partial to the delivery of Anderson, and the home players had found that of Rhines a prac- tically unsolved problem, it is more than probable that the rain saved the Washing- ton club from defeat. Mr. Wagner secured another long hit in the estimation of the public by giving out rain checks, although three innings nad been played. The Phillles have as a mascot a diminu- tive colored boy from Washington, whose face is so black that charcoal would come pretty near marking white on it. The boy edged his way by the gatekeepers at the Philadelphia Park}on Monday, and at once constituted himself guardian of the bats. As the team won, the Phillies look on him as their mascot, and now nothing is too good for the little féflow. Frank Bonner, who was traded by Bal- timore to S*. Louis, is in Wilkesbarre. He says ke does not want to go to St. Louis, Lut would like ta play in Wilkesbarre. Wilkesbarre has made St. Louis an offer for his release. The national board in deciding to hold over Pittsburg’s est of the game play- ed in Brooklyn until the next meeting of the board practicafy throws out the pro- test, for the next meeting of the board is on November 4, five aveeks after the season closes. So the game stays in Brooklyn's vicfory column, “Buck” Ewing suggests a scheme for the selection of an umpire when the regular man doesn’t show ‘up. Instead of having two players from the two teams officiate, which often results in trouble, he would have one of the home players act as um- pire, the man to he selected by the captain of the visiting club. Louisville is after one of Cincinnati's catchers, but the cash offer made was not large enough to tempt Captain Ewing. Business Manager Bancroft will go back to Cincinnati today and Treasurer Lloyd will join the club in Washington. Pitcher Phillips will accompany Mr. Bancroft home. Washington consequently will not see its crack pitcher of 1890, Pitcher Mark Baldwin has a kick with the Pottsville management. He spent two weeks in Pittsburg on the Von der Ahe case and because Pottsville refused to pay kim for that time he declines to play. The attendance at the Southern League games continues to dwindle, and it is hard- ly possible that the organization will play the season out. Joe Mulvey is playing third base for Al- lentown. For the first time in his career McPhee played Tuesday with a glove. He did it because he had a split left hand. The Chicago Colts made nine hits to Bos- ton’s six, but Anson’s men lost by errors. Manager Charley Comiskey -of the St. Pauls is trying to get Gus Weyhing to sign one of his contracts. There was no umpire in New York yes- terday, and two players officiated. Pittsburg won out in the ninth inning. Esper weakened. Buck Ewing is temporarily laying off, Parrott playing first. Joyce was again unable to play yester- day. Yesterday's League Games.

After Securing Box Office Receipts They Resumed. When it came the locals’ turn to go to bat in the third inning at Harrisburg, Pa., yesterday, Boyle, the first man up, refused. Umpire Manlove asked him the | cause. Boyle replied that he and his fellow-blayers Would not go on until their cverdue sala- ries were forthcoming. Umpire Manlove took out his watch. After a short confer- ence with his comrades, Boyle went to the bat. But after the side had been retired the Harrisburg players refused to take the field. After waiting the réquired time Man- love gave the game to Allentown. ‘The Harrisburg players then visited the box office and many of the 400 spectators crowded about them. Capt. Jack Huston secured a bag of coin and retired to the dressing room with the balance of the team at his heels. The men were in better humor after the division and willing to resume play. At Manager Milligan’s request Umpire Manlove rescinded his former action and the game proceeded. President Hanlon has been telegraphed for. It is not the intention to dismember the team, but to transfer it to some other city. If convenient grounds can be secured at a reasonable rental in Philadelphia, the team will finish the season there. Street After a Rehearing. A meeting of the stewards of the Jockey Club was held yesterday at New York, at which a communication was presented from Charles J. Patterson, attorney for S. W. Street, requesting a rehearing in ,the latter's case. The secretary was instructed to communicate with Mr. Patterson, and io request him to present such fresh evidence as he might have in writing, and, if deemed sufficient, the request will be granted. The application made by M. Healey on behalf of Jockey Harry Jones was taken up and his application for reinstatement denied. The application of Jockey Silas McClain for a license was passed upon favorably. The request of Mr. W. Boyd for the rein- statement of his horse Experience was re- ferred to a committee for investigation. A Brush With a Henley Crew. LONDON, June 13.—In the presence of a crowd of spectators the Cornell eight had a friendly spin with the eight of the Hen- ley Rowing Club on the river at Henley last evefiing. The Cornell crew gave the Henley Club a length the start, and pulled forty-elght strokes and then forty-four strokes to Henley’s forty strokes. The Cornell crew_won easily. The Pall Mall Gazette, this afternoon commenting upon the performances of the Cornell crew, expresses the opinion that more than one of the English crew will meet with little difficulty in defeating the carsmen from Ithaca. English oarsmen, it is added, do not believe that the Cornell crew can row a stroke of forty-six to the minute without loss of form. The Echo discussing the same subject this afternoon says that it is not antici- pated that the Cornell crew will seriously threaten the English crews, adding: “They row a tremendously fast stroke, but they fail to catch the water with effect. The men sitting in a direct line cause the craft to hang between the strokes. Several changes have been made in the crew, and there ap- Se to be difficulty in seating the men right.” Officials of the L. A. W. Meet. The Asbury Park Wheelmen have chosen the leading officials and members of the League of American Wheelmen to officiate at the national meet to be held at Asbury Park next month.

William Penn started for the first time this year, stepping three heats in 2113-4, 2121-4 and 2.123-4, without being called upon to do his bi In the first heat this five-year-old made a burst of speed which caused old horsemen to stare, and it was common tak that if William Penn had been driven out in this mile he could have ), He is entered in many val- es to be trotted for this year, and he bids fair to hold his own with the fast- est horses in training. Four Favorites Won. Four favorites, a well-backed second choice and a long shot won at St. Asaph yesterday and put the talent in a good humor, The feature of the day was the pretty race and exciting finish between Ataman and Eclipse, the former winning. He2vy showers fell at intervals, and long delays at the post made rather a dreary day, the only offset being the race men- tioned and the winning of favorites. The winners were Archbishop, 4 to 5; Berwyn, even money: Halcyon, 6 to 1; Ataman, 4 to Belisarius, even money, and Selah, 50 tos Bs Allsa’s Jib is Split.” SOUTHAMPTON, June 13.—Britannia and Ailsa started today at 10:45 a.m. in a race for large yachts, under the auspices of the Royal Southampton Yacht Club. The course is forty-four miles long. Ailsa al- lowed Britannia Im. 42s. At the start Mr. A. Barclay Walker's yacht led the Prince of Wales’ cutter by a few seconds. While Britannia was leading, Ailsa’s jib split, and she was compelied to abandon the race. Tennis Tournament. The playing in the ternis tournament of the Bachelors’ Club was not continued yesterday, owing to the rain. The draw- ings have been made for the doubles and the consclations as follows: Consolations—Huyck plays Deveraux, Doolittle plays Souissat, Nesdham plays McCammen, Leipold plays Hitt, and Hills plays Perkins. The winner of the Leipold- Hitt mateh will play Tucker. Doubles, first half—Clay and partner play McCammon ard partner, and the winners play Hills and Clark. Second half, Doyle brothers play Davidson and McPherson, and the winners play Geoghegan and Blair. The finals in doubles and the District championship will probably be played off on Saturday. ed Mrs. Mary Gilbertson was awarded $10,600 damages Tuesday in New York in the ac- tion brought by her against the 42d Street, Manhattanville and St. Nicholas Avenue railroad for injuries received by being thrown off the rear platform of one of the cars, PLANTS COMING UP, Many of the Poor Are Beginning to See the Results of the Potato Plan, ‘There is a legless farmer in Washington. He is a colored man named George W. Smith, and he tills the soil near: his resi- dence in Shot alley northeast. He rents a moderate amount of land and raises gar- den truck on it. He is now viewing with the greatest satisfaction the green tops coming through the earth, which are the resuit of potato seed and beans furnished to him by the charity committee of the board of trade, and planted with a due re- gard to the dark of the moon and other astronomical phenomena necessary to a proper purauit of agriculture. Smith’s potatozs and beans are not the only ones which are serding green shoots above the sufaze of the ground. Many of the poor men who took advantage of the offer of assistance made by the charity committee now nave their crops in sight, and are caring diligently for them, in order to procure a fruitful harvest. On the lots on Columbia road donated by Mr. Dana ‘he charity farmers are well satisfied with the appearance of the potatoes and beans, and similar reports come from other sec- tions. So far about 100 persons have ap- plied for assistance under the potato plan of charity, so called, and of these sixty have planted potatoes and beans. No mere potato seed will be issued after June 20, as after that it will be too late to plant. Next Wednesday the distribution of cabbage Plants will begin, and in August turnip ‘seed will be given out. The members of the committee express themselves as well satisfied so far with the experiment, and say the expense will be very limited. Many applications continue to be received at the committee rooms on 9th street near G by Mr. Donnelly, who is in charge of them, and land owners also continue placing their property at the committee's disposal. Mr. Thomas W. Smith has offered a lot ecptaining 10,00 feet on Mz:sachusetts avenue north2ast between 6th and 7th streets, which is now being ploughed and harrowed. The Security Investment Com- pany, through Dr. M. D. Peck, has given half a block between 15th ard 16th and East Capitol and H streets northeast, which will be ploughed and harrowed to- morrow. —_——.__. Agricultural College Graduates.
