READY FOR THE RACE Defender and Valkyrie Measured This Morning. REPORT NOT YET MADE KNOWN Prominent Yachtsmen Present ai the Ceremony. DUNRAVEN NOT RETTING NEW YORK, September 6.—Everything is in readiness for the yacht race tomor- row. ‘The official measurer, Jas.D. Hyslop of the New York Yacht Club, went this morn- ing to the dry dock in Erie basin and meas- ured both the yachis. Mr. Hyslop said that bis report will be made public late in the afternoon at the New York Yacht Club, to whom, he says, ke feels in duty bound to send it first before giving it out. With Mr. Hyslcp were ex-Commodore James D. Smith and a number of the prom- inent members of the New York Yacht Club, every one of whom expressed him- self surprised at the beauty and general excellence of the two boats. Commodore James D. Smith of the New York Yacht Club, in giving. his opinion of the relative merits of Valkyrie and De- fender, says: “The Valkyrie and the Defender are the creations of very brainy men. They are racing machines, and only fit for that pur- pose, They are useful only for this, and are dangerous when they enter any har- bor on our coast on account of their great fixed draught of water. As to their speed, I have seen the Valkyrie sailing only twice, but not at all in what I should call her en- deavor trials. + “I have seen the Defender in races and all ways of going, in company with other yachts, steam and sail, and also alone. I ceem her a very fast all-around boat— the fastest by all odds ever built in this country. We have made our best effort. In desisn and structure she has had the best ent in this country and the best super- ion. She will have the best talent in her Management during the races, and I think she will win.” “If we should lose, would a boat be built to go over after the cup?” he was asked. “Oh, yes; certainh, he replied. Ninety-Footers Too Big. Lord Dunraven has declared himself in favor of smaller racing craft. “The ninety-footers are too big,” he said. “They are not so handy as the smaller boats, not so safe, and cost more to build and run. They do-not admit of such nicety of handling, and there is not the sport to be got out of them that there is out of smaller boats. “Had my first challenge been accepted, I would have come over with a seventy- foot Vaixyrie. Personally I like the twenty- raters best. There is more sport in racing them than any other class. 1 believe there could be splendid racing In seventy-five- fcoters. One could have rigs and sail spreads in them which would stand.” Lerd Dunraven spoke frankly of the coming races. He declared that he knew very little of the abilities of his own boat, and absolutely nothing about the Defender. He simply could not compare them. Dunraven Wants a Good Breeze. “The Valkyrie,” he said, “to my mind, does not do so well in light winds as she will do in a good strong breeze.” As to his boat’s great beam, he said: “In my opinion, beam pays in a racing vessel."" Lord Dunraven expressed himself as per- fectly satistied with the ccnditions for the races. He denied positively that he had ever offered or would offer to wager any money on the result. More Interest Than Ever Before. No previous contest for the America’s cup has ever aroused such intense and wide- spread interest on both sides of the At- lantic as the coming races. Not only are hundreds of strangers in town from Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago and many cities of the far west, eager to witness the grand struggle between the two speediest yachts ever built, but the number of foreign visitors who are here for the same purpose has never before been exceeded. The hotels are packed with guests, and every available excursion steamer in the vicinity has been pressed into service to ac- commodate the thousands of sightseers who will witness the rare spectacle. Such a big rush tor the ocean course has vated for tomorrow that unusual have been taken by the cup to bave the course properly 1 committee patroled, so that the racing yachts sha rot be interfered with by the excursion fleet. The patrol force will be in charge of B. 3. Osbon, who looked after the recent naval parade at the opening of the Harlem ship canal, and Lieut. Delehanty, superv! of the port. Col. Gillespie of the engin ing corps of the United States army and the navy yard officials are all interested in securing fair play for the racers. The committee has also issued a notice to all captains of excursion boats and pleasure craft urging the necessity of keeping an absolutely’ clear course, and doing all in their power to prevent interference with the races, so that there may be no cause for complaint, as there was on several oc- casions during the international races two summers ago. The Probable Weather. Local Forecaster Dunn said of tomorrow's ‘obable weather: @ ‘Taking it all in all, the conditions most likely to prevail tomorrow will be favor- able for the contest. There will be a brisk wind of from twelve to eighteen miles an hour. It will come at first from the north- east, shifting to a southeasterly quarter. It is bound to be an on-shore wind. “The indications are that the sky will be overcast nearly all day. There may pos- sibly-be light showers, but It is not likely that there will be any heavy rain.” Was Watson Joking? Designer Watson of the Valkyrie sald to- day to a reporter: “I am going down to the race tomorrow expecting to lose.” He sald this seriously, but neither he nor any of the other Valkyrie people looked very downeast. PI PROFESSIONAL REGATTA. Neted Scullers to, Be Seen at Austin, Texas. John Crotty, the manager of the world's championship regatta, to be held in Austin, Tex., on November 4, 5 and 6, says all the noted professional scullers and oarsmen in this country and Canada have already en- tered in the several events, and he is now making arrangements for the appearance in the races of all the foreign cracks, in- cluding Stansbury. A four-oared shell crew, composed of the best oarsmen in England, will meet an all- American crew in a special match race. The Englishmen will be allowed $1,000 for xpen: The winning crew will receive $5,500 in cash. The regatta has the backing of the offi- eiais of the American Carnival Regatta Association of America and the Florida Athletic Club of Dallas, Tex. The winner cf the Cortett-Fitzsimmons fight will ref- eree the races, ‘The events and prizes will be as follows: Single scull race fer the championship of end a purse of $1,000; double scull the champlonship of the world and a purse of $1,000. order to make every man do hi st to win in the championship races the management has decided to give prize money only to the winners of the di ferent events. ‘The other contests are as follows: Single seull race—Pirst prize, $600; third prize rst p $100; nile dash, sing seull rac ter-n © Athletes Coming. n —The Sportsman »3 Wilkins and Stevenson sailed om the Cunard line steamer Gallia from Liverpool for Boston, which com- pletes the London Athletic Club team. LONDON says that.Athl SENATORS TOOK A GAME. er Had an Off Day, but Locals Played Well. Frank Dwyer pitched for the Reds yes- yesterday afternoon in the first game and did not have his usual effectiveness. Bases on balls and hits alternated in the early innings frequently enough to give the Washingtons a winning lead. Mercer pitch- ed for the Senators and was hit pretty hard, but agile fielding prevented scoring. Only three flies were caught by the out- field. Pitcher Boswell ts blamed for the loss of the second game, but the fact is that Cin- cinnati earned only four out of twelve runs. The home team fell down again. They mace errors when errors were costly, and the visitors sandwiched in hits and conse- quently won. Scores: First Game.

A. nine started off in their game with the bureau of engraving and printing yesterday as if they were deter- mined to win and add another defeat to the bureau boys. But the engravers’ long list of victories were not to be broken by this club, and at the end of the fifth in- ning, when the g2me was called, the score stood 5 to 4, with the higher number on the bureau's side. If Sanburne had received any kind of sup- pert in the few innings that were played, the chances are that the Christian boys would have come out on top. On the other side, Ospada pitched a fine game, and he well earned the victory for his team. ‘The score: 13 24 at O° O01 O14 oo1 ol 000 32 oo1 00 ~ 001 00 Helm'his,rfjc 0 0 2 o1 Deve,Ib.... 1 0 8 10 toi 2 — — =: 66 15 = Home run Carr, He First base by Left on 1 Dove. ed ball Ca Umpires—Harris and Hopkins Base Ball Notes. Cincinnati again today, if the weather permits. ‘s The Colonels are such easy fruit that it rather demoralizes the boys, and they are not putting up the sharp and brilliant game which has marked their work of late.—Bal- timore Herald. Pitcher Griffith headed the Chicago bat- ting order yesterday, and Stivetts was fourth for Boston. In every other case the pitchers came last. Stocksdale played first for Boston yes- terday without crror, and made a hit. The Washingtons leave tonight for Pitts- burg, where they are to play two games to- morrow and one on Monday. The next game to be played at National Park after the two of this afternoon will be with the Philadelphias next Wednesday. Joe Corbett will not be with Washington again until next season. He has gone to Asbury Park to help his brother train for his fight with Bob Fitzsimmons next month. Boston has secured Catcher Martin Ber- gen from Kansas City for Connaughton and $1,000. President N. E. Young has announced that Emslie and Hurst will be in Baltimore to umpire the Baltimore-Cleveland series. Overtrained Bicycle Amateurs. The Kansas City Times says: “Bicycle racing has become such a fad in America that there will be over half a hundred race meetings held today under the auspices of ene organization of wheelmen. If these meetings have as many starters as did that held in Kansas City last week, it will mean six thousand young men racing under the auspices of this organization. Bicycle riding is undoubtedly a very healthy exercise, but there is nothing healthy about bicycle rac- ing. No one would argue that walking is rot a healthful, strength-glving, digestion- alding exercise, but who would advise a man to try sprint racing If he were searching for health? The fastest runner in America, with all the careful training a profession! athlete gives himself, was deathly sick ai ter a record-breaking run last Saturda There is nothing beneficial in violent ex- ercise, and hundreds and even thousands of young men are injuring their health be- cause they have a wild ambition to see how | y can make the wheels go round. | re demands on their vital reise.

CHICAGO, September 6.—Chicago racing men have secured land lying one-half mile from the Roby race track and will begin the construction of a track and a grand stand. It is expected that the work will be completed within thirty days. LISTS OF -AWARDS Winners of Prizes at: the Rockville Fair... THE BIG DAY & THE SHOW Fine Cattle and Horses Receive Merited Recognition. DUST A DRAWBACK Correspondence of The Erening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 5, 1895. The crowd at the agricultural fair this afternoon was further augmented by hun- dreds of arrivals, both by railroad and pri- vate conveyance, and by the time the rac- ing began the grounds were literally pack- ed to suffocation. The grounds are well shaded, and, although a large part of the previous night had been utilized in thor- oughly sprinkling the grounds and race track, the dust this afternoon was almost suffocating. And yet through all this dust ladies, gentlemen and children kept up a steady promenade, seeming only intent on enjoying themselves in a free and easy manner. After taking in all points of in- terest Mr. Lowndes and party left about 4 p.m. for their homes, expressing much gratification at their handsome reeeption and kind treatment while here. During the afternoon a delegation of sixteen mem- bers of the Dupont Circle Cycle Club, ladies and gentlemen, made their appear- ance on the grounds and were the »sub- jects of much attention. After parking their wheels at the orfice of the secretary they proceeded to enjoy the novel sights .of the fair. Despite the heat and dust the racing was apparently much enjoyed. The gtand stand was packed to its fullest ca- pacity and every available foot of space around the third-mile track was crowded with perspiring, yelling and somewhat dirty humanity. It is a fact, worthy of note, that during this season of excite- ment there was no breach of the peace and but very few persons under the in- fluence of liquor. An incident which cre- ated some excitement fon a short time oc- curred during the day. One of the many hundred horses that had been hitched in the grove at the rear of the grounds by some means interfered with the peace and quictness of a large and healthy swarm of yellow jackets and before the frightened and suffering animal could be rescued from the stings of its tormentors it was feared that their attack would prove fatal and also cause a stampede among the horses in the immediate vicinity. The Day’s Racing. The following is a summary of the day’s racing: 2 class trotting; purse, $120. Effie G. (J. Corswick).. 333 John R. (C. B.

Johnson was substituted, and she easily won the next heat. In the county trotting race, best three in five, but four heats were trotted on ac- count of the lateness of the hour, the fifth heat being postponed until 10:30 next morning. Some Awards.

Now, we may set aside the black and yellow and poly-chrome races in general, many of whom are well-shaped, and like bronze statues to look upon, but who do not come up to the Aryan stand- ard in features and color. Leaving these children of nature out of the question, it may be confessed that there fs no race among whom beauty is common. If the ancient Greeks were like their statues, then there was once a beautiful race, but it Is not so certain that they did not ideal- ize themselves a good deal. There is the more reason to guess this, as, when they have to represent a bar- barian, say a Gaul or a German, or a prd- fessional prize fighter, they make these people as handsome as themselves, though in a rougher way. There is a famous bronze statue of a boxer, who might be taken for an orator, or a poet, were It not for his heavy metal-studded gloves. Thus it may be deemed that there is a great pro- portion of the ideal in these statues, vases, coirs and figures, where every one is so graceful and goodly. The Americans write as if their women were a galaxy of loveliness; and then comes a military critic (Euglish), who only saw three pretty women In the states, ard one of them was a foreigner. There is no knowing what to believe when patriotism boasts of the local fal Perhaps it might pay any American jour- nal to send a commissioner on beauty all around the world; one who should give a comprehensive and unbiased opinion. But it would be difficult for the world to be- Neve in his judicial fairness, and no really scientific result could be obtained. At home we may all look about us, and ask where beauty flourishes most. Now it may be a heresy, but we think that the scientific observer will find beauty most common among the young workwom: and shop girls on one hand, and among “‘the highest circles,” ‘the oldest families,” on the other. 5 —— oe Too Much Country. From the Boston Budget. Gen. Longstreet, in telling of some of his experiences in the war the other evening, sald that during the campaign of the Penin- sula he never had any opportunity of sleep- ing except as his corps was passing him. One night, a3 he had dismounted, leaving } his horse in the charge of his orderly, and going down into the angles of one of those Virginia fences, he overheard two soldiers talking, which interested him considerably, and, instead of sleepirg, he listened them. One soldier said to the other: “I suppose it's all right that we should march all night and fight by day. Of course, it is right that we should do that, for the love of country, if nothing else. I suppose that we should be poorly clothed, as we are, for the love of country. We should endure it. I suppose that to be poorly fed as we are, we should suffer for the love of country. Of course we should do that. And I sup- s¢, when you come to that, that we should die, if necessary, for the love of country, I am willing to. But there is just one thing that I want to say, that if ever I live to get out of this I'll be d— if I will ever have another country.” VERY EASY TRAINING English Athletes Do Not Restrict Themselves in Eating. NO VIOLENT CHANGE IN DIET Cambridge Men Pleased With the Yale Grounds. MANLY SPORT IN GENERAL NEW HAVEN, Conn., September 6.—The Cambridge athletes who are to meet Yale's team are resting quietly here today, and express themselves as well satisfied with their surroundings. They have visited Yale field, where they are to train, and declare it to be a fine bit of ground, all right in every respect, ex- cept the cinder path, which is not hard enough. This defect will be remedied by Wetting and rolling. The men will not begin to practice until 4 p.m. daily, owing to the heat, which, al- though not considered excessive here, told on the Englishmen yesterday. They say it was mvch cooler in England before they started. Today the weather is more to their liking, and there is a cool, refreshing breeze blowing through the city. The practice will not be private. Captain Horan says that he and his men are per- fectly willing to allow spectators at the field unless the crowd becomes so large as to interfere with the men. In the matter of diet, the American prin- ciple of abstaining from supposed injurious food is not followed. The men eat what they like, drink freely of ale and smoke. Some of them, Capt. Horan says, do not ch&nge their habits even the day before the contest. ENGLISH AND CANADIANS. They Began the Cricket Match at Toronto. TORONTO, Ont., September 6.—The two days’ cricket match between the touring Englishmen and the Canadians commenced here this morning, with fine weather and good crease. The Canadian team is the same that defeated the Americans at the beginning of the week, except that Darcy Martin of Hamilton takes the place of Gil- jespie, and that Bristowe of Ottawa has also been added, both teams playing twelve men each. Hemingway, one of the Englishmen’s best batsmen, has not arrived yet, though he is expected tuday. The Canadians are confident of success. They won the toss and elected to defend the wickets. Finals at Buffalo. The finals between Carr B. Neel of Chi- 2ago and Edwin Fisher of New York for the championship trophy were begun at Buffalo yesterday afternoon. Darkness prevented the finishing of the deciding set, end this went over till today. Summary: i -Fisher, 6—2, 1-6, 0-6, 15—13. Pi ry Played Fourteen at Once. LONDON, September 6.—The Daily Tele- graph says that Mr. H. N. Pillsbury of the Brooklyn Chess Club, winner of the Hast- irgs chess tournament, at the Metropoll- tan Club last evening played simultaneous- ly games with fourteen ladies, giving to thirteen of them odds of a knight. Mr. Pillsbury scored eleven wins, two losses and one unfinished. Notes of the Fighters. George Lavigne, known as the “Saginaw Kid,” and Young Griffo have arranged a match, to come off on September 25, before the Empire Athletic Club of Long Island, which will offer a purse of $5,000. They are to box twenty rounds at 133 pounds. Charley Kelly is prepared to fight either Mike Sears or Jimmy Kaveney of Boston. Kelly says he can fight strong at 110 pounds. The match which was arranged between George Dixon and Tommy Dixon of Rochester has evidently fallen through. Mike Harris is going to enter the fistic world with unwonted vigor this year. Any one who can scale 142 pounds will be wel- comed with a fight. Azote Lowered His Record. Azote went a remarkable mile at Gales- burg, Ill, yesterday afternoon against his record of 2.0513. He was driven by Andy McDowell, with Ferdinand as a running mate, driven by Dan Campbell. The first quarter was made in 29 3-4, the half in 1.01 1-2. In going to the third quarter Azote faced a cool wind, and reached the quarter pole in 1.34. Coming home, he made a fine spurt, and came under the wire in 2.04 3-4. McDowell was unwell and scarcely able to drive. Alix goes against her record tomorrow. Will Be Allowed to Ride. Chairman Gideon of the L. A. W. racing board has announced that he had received dealals of the charges made against them from Cabanne, Titus and Murphy. When asked what he intended doing in the mat- ter, the chairman said that as the men had de their affidavits on oath, he would al- low them to ride under protest. In this way, should they be found in the wrong when the matter came before the racing board for discussion, their prizes would be forfeited. Curry Fined $500. Gil Curry, who drove Joe Patchen in ‘Wednesday's match race with John R. Gentry at Belmont Park, Philadelphia, has been fined $500 by the judges for alleged crooked work in the race. There is doubt as to whether the fine can be collected, as Curry claims that the contract with the Belmont Driving Club simply called for a speed exhibition on the part of the two horses. Instead of a $4,000 purse, McHenry and Curry were to be given a certain per- centage of the gate receipts, and the amount they did receive, it is said, was $450 each. Last night Curry, as well as McHenry, who drove Gentry, left for the west. “Clint” Riley Dismissed. SAN FRANCISCO, September 6.—The California Jockey Club has found it neces- sary to reduce expenses, and to that end has dismissed Presiding Judge “Clint” Riley of Chicago and Patrol Judge Samuel “Morton. Girl Gymnasts Object. ALLIANCE, Ohio, September 6.—All the girl students at Mount Union College have struck against obeying the order which re- quired’ them to visit the gymnasium every day. They objected to exercising before a | male instructor. A committee was ap-| pointed to call upon the faculty last night. After a discussion the faculty decided to accede to the demand, and the committee was notified that a female instructor would be employed. —_——.__ Concerning Slang. From the Chicago Interior. It is not easy to trace the origin of any particular specimen of slang. We notice | that smart writers are employing the ep thet “flimflam,” and will go out of the: way for an occasion to use it as a pro that they are up to date. An Irish gen man telle us that he was entertained by friend in Philadelphia, whose porter back from answering the door bell, said to his master: “Nobody but a bum “And what is a bum?’ inquired the gues:. The slang was explained to him. It is not the same in Ireland. There, bum is diminutive for bombast. A bum is a breg gart, what we would call a blowhard. F1 flam, like skedaddle and nearly all the su. cessful slangs, is an onomatopoeticism- which last is among the great words which we allow ourselves to employ only on s cially Impressive occasions—in plain term a word the sound of whiclr indicates its meaning. A good slang word soon wins its way to proper use—though this is rather too flimsyflamsical to last. .
