WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. TWO CENTS EXTRA 7:45 O'CLOCK P. M. ON THE RIVER The Great Potomac Regatta of 1895, THOUSANDS LINE THE SHORE Good Time Made By the Win- Ding Crews. - SOME VISITING CLUBS SUCCESSEUL Revival of Boating Interest in This ‘City. LOCAL OARSMEN GRATIFIED The great Potomac regatta of 1895 is now a matter of history. The six races on the Program were rowed this evening over what is. known as the national course, stretching from the G strect wharf over the broad water toward the Long bridge. The finish in all the races was at the G street wharf. The races were witnessed by thousands of enthusiastic friends of the brawny oarsmen, and the spectacle on the river indicated a revival of interest in aquatic sports on the Potomac. ‘The crowds begen to go over to George- town, despite the merciless rays of the sun, before noon, and from midday up to the time set for the races to begin there was a steady throng down New Hampshire avenue and other streets leading to the Analostan boat house and the G@ street wharf, where the best views of the races could be secured by those who did not care to be affeat. The Anzlostan boat house was crowded with guests, the gay costumes of the many ladies among them making the scene upon the balcony extremely brilliant and pic- turesque. The private pleasure boats of club mem- bers and unattached boating men were all out on the water with pleasant parties of Passengers, among whom were many ludies, and the establishments which have boats for hire had their facilities taxed to their mit early In the day. Consequently the river was crowded with small craft of all descriptions, and threading carefvliy through the flotilla thus formed were numerous sailboats, which the steady breeze propelled at a satisfying pace, and here and there an {tmportant-looking steam launch puffed along rapidly. Tips on the Winners, The only betting this morning was on the result of the junior eights, and_some even money wagers were made between the friends of the Columbias and Potomacs in the junior race. The opinion of an expert before the races began was that the junior eights would be a close struggle between the Columbias and Potomacs; that the four-oared senior was a cinch for the Met- ropolitan; that the Analostan would win the light-welght fours; that Rietz would win the singles; that the intermediate eights lay between the Palisades and the Montrose, and that the Columbias would win the junior fours, closely pushed by the Ariels. The Palisades were pretty confident of repeating tneir record in the middle states regatta, where they won in the record time, on the Harlem river course, 5.02 1-4 for a mile straightaway, defeating the Staten Island Boat Club, the Newarks, the Nassaus, the Lone Stars and the Wy- anokes. The Palisades were also second by half a length in the natlonal regatta this year. Mr. John Fitzpatrick, the Pali- gades trainer, was enthusiastic over the course. “It is as straight and fine a course as there {s in the world, according to my opinion,” said Mr, Fitzpatrick, “and I know of no place where there are better facilities for boat racing.” Mr. Fitzpatrick trained the Potomacs dur- ing part of 1893 and all of 1804, and was given a great reception by his old pupils when he arrived. Positions Drawn by the Crews. The drawing for positions took place last night at the Analostan boat house, and resulted as follows: The positions from the District shore. The color of the buoy is given. First race, junior eights—No. 1, Colum- bia Athletic Club, red; No. 2, Baltimore Athletic Club, white; No. 3, Potomac Boat Club, blue. Second race, light-weight fours—No. 1, “mbia Athletic Club, red; No. 2, Ana- lostan Boat Club, white; No, 3, Potomac Beat Club, blue. Third race, Junior fours—No. 1, Columbia Athletic Club, red; No. 2, Ariel Rowing Club of Baltimore, white; No. 3, Analos- tan Boat Club, blue; No. 4, Baltimore Ath- letic Club, green. Fourth race, junior singles—No. 1, Moar of the Columbias, red; No. 2, Rietz of the Ariel Boat Club of Baltimore, white; No. 8, Maurice of the Potomacs, blue. Fifth race, senior four-oared shells—No. 1, Metropolitan Rowing Club of New Yor red; No. 2, Ariel Rowing Club of Baltimore, white; No. 3, Pennsylvania Barge Club, blue; No. 4, Columbia Athletic Club, green; No. 5, Analostan Boat Club, orange; No. 6, Potomac Boat Club, black, Sixth race, intermediate eight-oared shells No. 1, Columbia Athletic Club, red; No. 2, Baltimore Athletic Club, white; No. 3, Palisade Boat Club of Yonkers, N. Y., blue; No. 4, Potomac Boat Club, green; No. 5, Montrose Boat Club of Philadelphia, or- ange. The Metropolitan fours were courteously allowed to take the District shore position in the senior, because their shell was port- rigged, while all the other boats entered are starboard rigged. The Metropolitans need more room to turn in with safety. as they turn from starboard to port, while the other crews make the turn oppositely. Around the Bont Houses, Around the boat hoses th: captains and trainers were very much interested in tne weight of th2 men. Probably no one in or out of the medical profession would believe that a human being, even if he was as big. as some of our public men, could gain ten pounds in twice «3 meny hours. Mr. C W. Oliver of the Potomac light-weight four weighed 122 3-4 pounds last tight at 6:15, when the crews entered in the light-weight event were weighed in. Today at 1 o'clock Mr. Oliver weighed 139 pounds, a gain of 16 1-4 rounds in nineteen hours Mr. Moar of the Analostans weighed shert of 124 last night, and this morning at 11 o’clock weigh- ed 137 pounds; Steve Kearney, in 1887, weighed down to 135 pounds when he went to bed the day before the regatta of that year, and when he got up next morning weighed 150. Reynolds, who was a member of the big Potomac four that won The Star, Fcst and Mason cups, trained down In 1886 from 218 to 155 pounds, and after the race gained twenty pounds in less than twenty- four hours.. He was the heaviest man who ever went into training on the Potomac, having several pounds the best of Kintner of the Columbias. The immense loss of weight is secured by fat-killing diets, steady courses of Turkish baths and a complete abstinence from smoking, drinking and late hours, The severe training for lightweight crews stops the minute they are weighed in, and this is the reason Messrs. Oliver and Moar made such remarkable physical records in a flesh-gaining way. The Referce’s Bont. The referee's boat, the steamer Bartholdi, steamed up to Cumberland’s boat house, at the foot of 32d street, shortly before 2 o'clock and took on board the referee, Mr. George W. Statzell of Philadelphia; the timers, Messrs. W. B. Hibbs of the Colum- bias, Wm. E. H. Merritt of the Potomacs and J. Rush Marshall of the Analostans, President Johnston of the Potomacs, Presi- dent Maddox of the Analostans, President Grant of the Columbias, Chairmen W. M. Offiey, S. W. Stinemetz, J, J. Nolan, Charles A. Baker and H. A. Benner of the regatta committee, and the reception committee, consisting of Messrs. J. C. C. Snyder, F. W. Mullett, G. W. Hanger, Adam John- son, Charles Fair and members of the press and invited guests. Clearing the Course. The police boat Joe Blackburn went over the course and cleared it shortly efter 1 o'clock. Two schooners were lying in the course, and their captains displayed a de- sire to remain there, but Capt. Dean, in command of the Blackburn, proceeded to make ready to pull them out, and they got out of their own accord. The steady breeze from the west, which stiffened as the af- ternoon wore on, made the river somewhat rough and choppy, and fast time cannot be expected if the wind keeps up. The cther officials of the day not on the Bartholdi were W. A. McKenney of the Aralostans, M. J. Quinn of the Potomacs and W. A. Smith of the Columbias, judges at the finish The judges at the turn were Eugene Johnson of the Columbias, E. F. Riggs of the Potomacs and W. P. Keene of the Analostans. The River Queen. Shortly after 2 o’clock the River Queen loaded to the guards with a cheering crowd in which ladies seemed to preponderate puffed up the Georgetown harber, rocking smal]l boats with her wash as though they were in salt water. She turned near the Aqueduct bridge and retraced her course to * point cpposite the finish and dropped anchor. The breeza continued to increase in strength and its stiffness made the water rougher, especially near the District shore. This was hailed with much pleasure by the Potomacs, who had drawn the outside po- sition in every race, and was thus assured of the best water. The Ariel and Baltimore Athletic Club rooters were over in force and were plentifully supplied with money to back their representatives. The visiting Ariels had chartered the tug Cecil, and fol- lowed the races, making the air ring with all sorts of din-making instruments. The First Race. The first race was for the junior eight and considerable interest was felt in this event by the friends of both the Columbia and Potomac clubs. The Potomacs were first on the water and preceded the Bartholdi to the starting point a mile and a half down the river. They were followed by the Baltimore Ath- letics, who were cheered as they pulled away from the Analostan float, and as they rowed down to the start their regular swing and clean action inspired many fa- vorable comments from the old-timers on the umpire’s boat. The Columbias follow- ed a few minutes later. The coxswains were given their instructions by Mr. Stat- zell. He told them he would start them swith the word “go” and the dropping of a handkerchief. There was some delay to let a coal schooner in tow of a tug come down the course, and then the crews lined up at their respective buoys. “Are you ready?” cried Mr. Statzell. ‘There was an affirmative chorus from the coxswains. “Go,” shouted the umpire. The hand- kerchief dropped at 3:33. The Baltimore caught the water first, rowing 44 to the minute, with the Potomacs second and Columbia last. At the quarter the Balti- mores were half a length ahead of the Po- tomacs, with the Columbias about the same distance behind. At the half the positions were unchanged, but the Potomacs were hugging them close. It was anybody’s race, and all the men were rowing well. Won By Baltimore. The Baltimores had the same lead at three-quarters, with the Potomacs hang- ing on like tigers. Passing the black buoy the Baltimores were rowing in race form still, while the Potomacs were getting rag- ged. The Columbias were rowing strong and in good shape, but the wind and wa- ter were against them. At the mile the positions were unchanged, the Baltimores having increased their lead to’a length. The Columbias spurted additionally at this point, but the ragged water was against them. The Baltimores crosse@-the line winners 9f one of the best races ever row- ed on the Potomac, beating the Potomacs by a length, the Columbias being another length behind. It was one of the gamest races ever rowed in the country, according to the old oarsmen on the Bartholdi. The time was 8.44, 8.47 and 8.50. The Crews. The crews entered in this race were as follows: Columbia Athletic Club, Washing- ton—C. C. Clarke, stroke; O. E. Carter, 7; J. R. Shields, 6; W. M. Mooney, 5; W. T. Dewdney, jr., 4; C. B. Stewart, 3; L. S. Wells, jr., 2; E. O. Craig, bow; substitutes, W.'D. Nolan, C. A. Jaquette, C. W. Hecox and D. J. Walsh; coxswain, J. R.. Elder. Potomac Boat Club, Washington—J. A. Oliver, stroke; U. S. Roulette, 7; A. M. Archer, 6; James Bauby, 5; W. F. Gal- lagher, 4; Dr. H. Cockerille, 3; P. F. Gorm- ley, 2; M. C. Ball, bow; substitutes, C. W. Oliver, J. H. Flynn, George von Dachen- hausen and John Hadley Doyle; coxswain, Charles G. Warden. Baltimore Athletic Club, Baltimore—William F. Rittler, stroke; James F. Hunter, 7; John Hasling, 6; John C. Manning, 5; L. L. Lloyd, 4; T. J. Boy- kin, 3; William F. Werner, 2; William Lil- ly, bow; substitutes, William Hamilton and Richard Baden; coxswaii, H. Whitehead. The crews were given rousing receptions when they returned to their houses, and there were no excuses or recriminations. The best crew had won because its mem- bers were in the best condition, There was too much luff in both the local boats, but notwithstanding this they rowed a race worth going many miles to see. The Second Race. There was some delay in starting the second race, which was for light-weight fours. The Mary Washington, which steam- ed up after the junior eight had been row- ed, threatened to get in the way several times, but finally got a berth for herself near the finish. The start in this race was immediately opposite the Analostan boat house and the G street wharf, where the finish also was. A great many small boats were congregated about it, and after these had been gotten out of the way by the Joe Blackburn and a two-masted schooner got under way ard sailed merrily over the course the way was clear for a start. This gave the crowd time to talk about the re- spective chances of the crews. It was to be a strictly Iecal race, and consequently the interest in it was intense. The Ana- lostans secmed to have the call in the bet- ting. The presence of Louis Fisher, who has been such a successful and popular oarsman, in the stroke seat of the boat was considered as being a strong factor in its favor. The crews were finally lined up, and at 4:18 Umpire Statzell gave the word. All three crews got off at the same in- stant to as pretty a start as was ever witnessed. Immediately after. the start, however, and before the quarter was reach- ed the Analostans, who were leading, steered directly into the Columbia’s wa- ter, and Mr. Elder, bow of the Columbias, claimed a foul. The three crews stopped rowing and Umpire Statzell called them up and decided to start the crews afresh at the place where the foul occurred, as both crews had been blown out of their course by the wind, and no blame attach- ed. A New Start. At the second start Columbia and Ana- lostan got off together, rowing 43, the Po- tomacs getting a stroke the worst of it. The Columbias and Analostans, rowing streng, were even up, the Potomacs half a lergth behind. Approaching the turn, the Anzlostans began to pull slowly but stead- ily ahead, the Columbias making desper ite efforts to keep with them. The Potomacs were now several lengtiis behind and ap- parently out of the race. The Analostans turned first, making a beautiful circle, the Columbias making a very ragged tura. The Analestans started away and wece six lengths ahead and seemed certain win- ners. The delay at the turn let the Poto- macs get up even with the Columbias, but the latter soon picked up and left the Po- tomacs, and began gaining again on the Aralostans. Won By The Annlostans. Three hundred yards from the finish the Columblar nearly ran into a stake, and when every one thought the Analostans were certain of the prize the Columbias cut it up again, and the finish was excit- ing. The Aralostans crossed the finish a lergth ahead of the Columbias, the Poto- macs being beaten by three lengths. There was no time taken on account of the foul. ‘The crews entered in this race were as follows: Analostan Boat Club, Wasking- ton—Louis A. Fischer, stroke; Franklin Moore, 3; O. C. Hine, 2; J. Warren Stearns, how; substitutes. Charles Fair and A. B. Leet. Columbia Athletic Club, Washington . Magee, stroke; F.-H. Parsons, 3; Claude Lundsford, 2; J. R. Elder, tow; substitutes, W. A. Smith and Grant Bur- roughs. Potomac Boat Club, Washington —C. W. Oliver, stroke; George von Dach- enhausen, 3; J. H. Flynn, 2; C. G. Warden, bow; substitutes, Frank Ball and Alex. von Dachenhausen. Great Throngs. The scene at this time was particularly picturesque. The sun shone down with lessened strength from a sky flecked here and there with snowy clouds and burnished the green water until it became a mirror to reflect the animated groups upon the shores. The cool wind tempered the air to the thousands who crowded every advanta- gecus poitt whence a view of the races cculd be gained. The closing of the de- partments augmented the throngs greatly, and by the time the third race was started there were few spots on the District shore rear the finish that were not crowded. The piles of cordwood on the G street wharf looked like base ball bleachers, so thickly were they covered with sightseers, and the roar that went up from them when a race began or ended further heightened the Jikeness. The referee's boat, which was splerdidly managed and under command of Mr. Carlyle Whiting of the Analostans, sped back and forth among scores of pleas- ure boats and now and then ran up close to the River Queen and got a royal greet- ing from two thousand people aboard. The Joe Blackburn did not rest in the well- directed efforts of her crew to keep the course clear, while the Cecile with the Bal- timcre boys aboard steamed up and down after the races and left a streak of merri- ment wherever it left a wake. It was alto- gether a prosperous occasion so far. The fcul in the light-weight fours had been so happily disposed of by Mr. Statzell that it left no wound. The day was genial, and the crowd was doubly so. The Third Race. It was nearly 5 o'clock when the junior fours came out to the start. The Balti- more Athletic Club did not start a crew, as indicated in the regular edition of The Star, because of the mishap to its four- oared shell and its inability to get one here. At 4:55 the word was given, the Co- lumbias getting off first, the Ariels and Analostans closely @llowing. The Ariels spurted at once and immediately took the lead by a length, with the Columbias sec- ond and Analostans last. The steering was very poor at the start, but the men soon settled down and got steady. The Colum- bias began hitting it up and putting more power to their stroke, and began to creep up on the Baltimore bo; Approac4ing the turn the two leaders were almost on even terms. The Ariels turned the buoy first and the Columbias turned miserably, straightening out last after the Analos- tans. The Ariels sterted for home four lengths ahead, the Columbias éoming up rapidly and passing the Analostans, only to be caught again by the Analostans. From this time on the race was merely for sec- ond place between the local crews. Baltimore’s Easy Victory. The Ariels were five lengths ahead and rowing easy. The Columbias rowed like demons and shcok off the down river op- ponents and began to cut down the Ariel's lead. The latter had the race in hand, however, and won by four lengths; tke Columbias heating the Anglostans a length of clear water, all hands rowing hard. The time was 10.22. The Baltimcreans on the Cecile fairly went wild and kept the Whistle teoting for three minutes. The crews were as follows: Analostan Beat Club, Washington—Boyd Taylor, stroke; 8. S. Ludlum, 3; A. L. Ryan, 2; Walter R. Hensey, bow; substt- tutes, C. A. Clemmons’and O. C. Hine. Columbia Athletic Club—C. A. Jacquette, stroke; W. D. Dolan, 3; P. Moar, 2; 0. 3. Carter, bow; substitutes, W. T. Dewdney, jr, and O. E. Craig. Baitimore Athletic Club, Baltimore—William’ F.. Rittler, bow; T. J. Boykin, 3; L. L. Lioyé, 2; Wm. Lily, stroke; substitutes, William F. Werner and Jchn F. Hunter. Ariel Rowing Club, Bal- timore—Fred B. Foche, stroke; W. C. Cur- ley, 3; James R. Browne, 2; C. W. Rolph, bow; substitutes, Louis M. Reltz and F. A. Hancock. The Fourth Race. The race for junior singles resulted in a walk-cver for Mr. Lewis M. Reitz of the Ariel Rowing Club of Baltimore, Mr. P. Moar of the Columbias and Mr. Maurice of the Potomacs withdrawing. Mr. Reitz pad- dled over the course and won the medal. The entries were as follows: Lewis M. Reitz, Ariel Rowing Club, Baltimore; P. Moar, Columbia Athletic Club, Washington; Howard T. Maurice, Potomac Boat Club, Washington. The Fifth Race. The great race of the day was the race for senior fours, in which “The Evening Star” cup was the trophy. There was much speculation about the probable win- ners. The veteran Ellis Ward, who was one of the famous Ward brothers’ crew of olden times, end who trained the Colum- bias to many victories, was down in charge of the Metropolitan crew of New York. Ward modestly said he did't have world beaters, but expected them to make a good showing tlis afternoon. The: PennsylWwania Barge Club representatives smiled signifi- cantly wken the race was mentioned, and said they would win it iftonly to put Ellis Ward’s nose out of joint, ‘The reason for this was that Ward for- merly trained the Philadelphias, and there is great rivalry between them and, the Mets. The Pennsylvanians were big mus- cular fellows, and were first on the line. The Columbias had many adherents, and there was not a more interested man on the river than Capt. Charlie Baker, who has been putting the men :through their paces, Their friends expested much of them. The Potomacs coneluded. to with- draw during the afternoof, and did not appear. Considerable surprise was ex- pressed when the Ariel four, which had won the junior fours and the Mason cup not an hour before, paddled out to the line and got ready to tackle seniors for still more importarft honors. The Metro- politans were closely scanned when they pulled out slowly to the line, and they looked like race horses. Their brown arms gleamed in the sun like the. muscular bronze limbs of one of Barye’s creations, and their movements were remarkable for their rhythm, All four men moved” Uke pieces of a single machine, and they looked dangerous. It was 5:55 when the word was given after some delay, in which the Metropoli- tans displayed a singular obstinacy in get- ting back cn even terms with the others. The Pennsylvanias caught the water first and were off like a shot, gaining half a length. The Aricls and Metropolitans were second, but the Ariels were soon ontrow- ed. The Columbias began to pull up and at the half mile the Metropolitans and Pennsylvanias were even a half a length ahead of the Analostans, the Ariels three lengths behind. At the turn, the Pennsyl- vanias missed the buoy, and to the per- sons on the umpire’s boat it was plain that they didn’t turn it’at al. The Co- lumbias got up on even terms here, and passed the Metropolitans, ‘who had much difficulty at the turn. Won By Pennsylvania, The race from here home was a deadly struggle between the Pennsylvanias and Columbias. The former led by @ scant half length and were four lengths ahead of the Metropolitans, who were lapped by iels 2 length in advance of the Ana- The Pennsylvaniae steadity gain- when near finish line winters Ir. lostan ed on tke Columbi and crusse? the length ahe ropolitans, Ariels and Analostans trined in the crder named. When the race was over it was some time befere a decision was reached. Almost everyone on the um- pire’s boat was sure the Pennsylvanias had not turned the buoy. The crews entered were as follows: Analostan Boat Club, Washington—Louis A. Fisher, stroke; Franklin Moore, 3; O. C. Hine, 2; J. Warren Stearns, bow; substi- tutes, R. C. Howard and A. V. Leete.

There was a foul in the first start and a new start had to be made, which resulted in the winning.bf the Baltimore Athletic Club crew. ———— SHOT A POLICEMAN. the V2, ak of the Columbias.

THE SENATORS AND ANSON'S COLTS Quite a Dispute Over an Alleged Lost Ball. A NOVEL INCIDENT “Old Hoss” Anson and his “Colts” from Chicago appeared on the local diamond this afternoon. The smallest attendance of the season greeted the Chicago white stockings at National Park, due to the op- pressive heat, rather than to the fact that -Anson’s men had just lost three games in Baltimore. The batting order of the two teams was as follows: Washington. Scheibeck, 8.8. Chicago. Everett, 3d b. Abbey, c.f. Wilmot, Lf. Joyce, 3d b. Lange, c. McGuire, c. Decker, Ist b. Cartwright, Ist b. Dahlen, s.s. Hassamer, r.f. Ryan, r.f. Crooks, 2d b. Truby, 2d b. Mercer, Lf. Donahue, c. Anderson, p. Terry, p. Terry and Dcnahue were the Chicago battery; Anderson and McGuire for Wash- ington. Mr. Tim Keefe umpired. First inning—Scheibeck was given his base, but Abbey hit to short and both were doubled. Joyce singled to left. McGuire hit to right for a single, but took second on the fielder fumbling. Cartwright drove a double to left and both runners scored. Hassamer kept up the hammering, landing one out near the hospital fence, just inside the foul line. Cartwright scored and Bill took third. Crooks was retired on a grounder to short. Three runs. Everett retired at first on a hit to Schet- beck. Wilmot and Lange were given first. Decker forced Lange. Dahlen hit over sec- ond. Scheibeck fielded the ball well, but tossed it badly to Crooks. Wilmot scored. A passed ball advanced both runners. Ry- an hit over Mercer's head and cleared the bases. Mercer badly misjudged the ball and it was fielded home so slowly that Ry- an scored. Truby singled. Donahue forced Truby. Four runs. Second—Mercer went out on a hit to sec- ond; Anderson took first; Scheibeck struck out; Anderscn stole second: Abbey flew out to first. Cerbett took Mercer's place in left. Terry took first; Everett bunted and was called out on a close Gecision; Wilmot sin- giled to right and Terry scored; Lange put one over Crooks’ head and stole second on McGuire's high throw; Decker flew out to Hassamer and Wilmot scored on the throw in; Dahlen singled and Lange scored; Ry- an ended the agony by striking out. Three runs. Third—Joyce took first; McGuire drove a sharp one on the ground just inside the line and took second; Joyce scored on a wild pitch; Cartwright flew out on a high hit to left; a grcan went up when McGuire failed to try to score; Hassamer drove a fly to center and McGuire scored on the throw in; Crooks bit safely over center; Corbett made his first appearance at bat on the home grovnds and popped up a foul fly to third. “Trilby,” as Truby has been dubbed, lift- ed one over Scheibeck. Donohue flied out. Terry was retired at first. Everett took first and stcle second. Wilmot beat the ball to first and Truby scored. The ball went over the fence on a foul and quite a discussion followed over the question of a new ball. It was claimed that the Chicagos had hid it, and Keefe kept running back and forth between the Washington and Chicago benches, vainly trying to get the ball. Schmelz refused to produce a new one.and considerable delay followed. Finally Keefe went to the plate, end pulling out his watch said, “I will give you one minute!” Schmelz said nothing, but walked over to the Chicago bench. Meanwhile a catas- trophe was averted by the Washingtons bringing out a new ball amid jeers and yells. It was a novel incident. The game then proceeded. Lange died at first. One run. Just after the inning ended Hassamer went over to the Chicago bench and found the missing ball. Fourth—Anderson hit safely and Schei- beck died at first; Abbey singled and An- derson scored; Joyce took first; McGuire fouled out; Cartwright hit safely to cen- ter and tied the score, but was put out on poor running from third. Three runs. Decker died at first; Dahlen hit safely to the hospital fence for three bags; Ryan hit to Joyce, who fumbled, but the error was not costly, for Truby doubled up Ry- an and himself. Fifth—Hassamer was retired at first. Crooks was given a life on Dahien drop- ping his fly. Corbett popped up a fly. An- derson forced Crooks. Donohue, the hero of the ball-stealing incident, singled. Terry bunted and failed to reach first. Everett drove a hot liner at Cartwright, who caught Donohue at second, making a pretty double play. Sixth—Scheibeck forced out. Abbed sin- gled and was thrown out at second. Joyce took first and was also thrown out. Chicago scored one in the sixth inning, made by Wiimet.

No Liquor Will Be Sold in New York Tomorrow. 5 NEW YORK, August, 24—It is the gen- eral opinien amorg lNquor men here that there will be practically no beer or liquor sold tomorrow in any part of the city, ex- cept that which fs served with meals. The leaders are now convinced that the tisk of keeping open on the Sabbath is too great, and that the profits of a holiday trade are likely to be wasted in a fine a other expenses In the event of their ares; Most of them gave up the fight, and now about every saloon proprietor of any prom- inence in the city has acknowledged his defeat. ‘The fight ts over, so far as the respectable dealers are concerned. Acting Chief of Police Conlin today ex- pressed himself as being well pleased at the action of the representatives of the Wine, Becr and Liquor Dealers’ Associa- tion, Who yesterday announced the inten- tion’ of “the organization to-close up all saloons owned by its members on Sun- days. —————— BOWLER’S DE! MR. ON. . It is Said It Will Probably Be Ren dered Within a Week. Controller of the Treasury Bowler today received the last of the briefs in the sugar bounty cases, and has begun work on his decision, which wlll probably be rendered in the course of a week. He will first, however, have to render a decision on ex- Senator Manderson’s motion to remand the whole matter to Secretary Carlisle, on the ground that the peculiar language of the act takes the disbursement out of the hands of the regular accounting officers of the treasury. There is a strong belief at the Treasury Department that Mr. Bowler will overrule Mr. Manderson’s motion and will decide against the payment of the bounty. REQUITAL WON He Captures the Rich Prize af the Faturity Stakes, FINEST FIELD EVER SEEN IN THEEVENT None of the First Favorites Gets a Place. A GREAT CROWD PRESENT” SHEEPSHEAD BAY RACE TRACK, CONEY ISLAND, August 24.—The Futur- ity Stakes, for two-year-olds, amounting to about $67,000, was run this afternoon. The track was in first-class condition. A great crowd was in attendance. There was a delay of twenty-five minutes at the post for the futurity candidates; then the flag went down with Handspring in first place. All through the first quar- ter Handspring held his advantage, but Requital, Mormon and Applegate were pressing him close. McCafferty electrified the excited throng by rushing Aj-plegate up to Handspring and leading him by a head at the half- mile post, while little Griffin followed suit with Requital. Half way down the home stretch Applegate had enough, and his supporters ceased shouting as Requital, with Griffin smiling confidently, forged ahead and gradvally increasing his ad- vantage, won the great race by a length from Crescerdo, who came with a great rattle in the last furlong. Silver II finish- ed third, a length behind Crescendo. Requital went to the post at fours, after opening at threes. Crescendo and Silyer JE were at long odds. The race was run fi 1.11 2-5. The heavily weighted Handspring, Applegate, Hastings and Hazlet were well beaten, the long delay at the post being one of the contributing causes of their de- feat. BEFORE THE GREAT RACE. What Trainers and Bettors Thought of the Candidntes, SHEEPSHEAD BAY RACE TRACK, Au- gust 24.—The Coney Island Jockey Club track at Sheepshead Bay was never in better condition than today. The annual fail meeting cf the club !s one of the fea- tures of the racing year, and with ell its triumphs of the past, this year promises to exceed them all. Todey is the day of the great Futurity race, when twenty-cne two-year-olds will struggle for the richest stake in this coun- try, and the other races during the day are full of promise. The candidates for the Futurity appeared on the track this morning with their stable companions, but their work was done, and they were only taking gentle exercise to keep their muscles limber and their limbs in perfect condition for the great struggle in the afternoon. Handspring the Favorite Trainers, Handspring is the choice of the majority of the trainers at the track, in spite of the fact that the betting men were in favor of Hastings. The former pin their faith upon the Dwyer crack because he has shown such consistent form since he began his winning career. His string of victories at the Sheepshead Bay spring meeting was the chief reason for his following, and his single defeat by Hastings was not taken into consideration as much as was ex- pected. é Hastings has won his three races, de- feating Handspring in one, and the confi- dence in the stable that he will win is great. The other Blemton entries, Merry Prince and Refugee, are doubtful, which will doubtless bring about a change of jockeys on some of the others at the last minute. Requital and Hazlet are the best of the Gideon string, and the former is greatly thought of. He will have a large fol- lowing when he goes to the post, aud in the betting he will not be far behind the others. Axiom is by no means an impossibility, and if Handspring could be carried off his feet by Hastings in the first quarter Axiom may be there or thereabouts. Of the others which are entered it is thought that sentiment is the sole object of the starting, with a possibility of a win by accidents to the leaders. Best Field Ever Sent Out. The field is the best ever sent out for the great race, and the day being a perfect one for racing it is thought that the at- tendance will be far greater than at any other time during the history of the race. At 10 o'clock the trainers had all left the track and their charges were resting quiet- ly in the stables, with six hours’ wait for the contest of the year, John Hyland, trainer of Requital and Haziet and former trainer of Hastings, had a group of spectators around him lis- tening to his remarks. ‘There is no doubt that he has a great liking for Hastings, and while he hopes to win with Requital, if he is beaten it would suit him better to have Hastings do it. He spgke of the race in which Hastings defeated Han as one of the fastest races he ever s a dozen watches caught Hasting' half-mile in 461-4 seconds. If Hastings can do that again today it is a q whether any other contestant can live w him. Hyland declares that Requital has never been tried, as he has won all his races, with but one exception, and that s when he got away twenty lengths be- hind Handspring and not in his stride, yet finished well up. With that race out of the question Requital has an excellent chance. of the Talk About Nimrod. There was much talk about the western celt Nimrod later in the day, and it was argued that he must have a i chance B for the owner to come so far and pay so much to send him to the post. Silver IL had a good many followers among the rail birds, who dec! i t he will make them all run to win. s not a hard matter to fil number of suppo' It was conceded never in the history of the race been more open, and a possil) a dozen horses, even though the f were only two in number, with good odds above the others. A fair estimate, formed from conversation with leading trainers at H i the track, mak oice of the majority ond, Hastings third a ud the others following. — THE LETTER BLEW UP.
