GENERAL SPORTING NEWS ——_+ NEWMARKET, England, October 11.— This was the closing day of the Newmar ket second October meetirg, and much in- terest centered in the Middlepark plate, which is the greatest race any two-year- old can win. The Prince of Wales’ bay colt Persim- mon, with which he hopes to win the next derby, and a number of other candidates for the blue-ribbon event of the British tu'f were entered for today’s race. ‘The conditions of the race were as fol- lows: The Middlepark plate of 500 sovereigns, added to a sweepstake of thirty sovereigns, each twenty sovereigns forfelt, for two- year;olds, the second horse to receive severeigns and the third 100 sovereigns out of th> stakes; Brethy stakes course, six furlongs. c There were 104 subscribers, but only twelve starled. Mr. Leopolde Rothschild’s brown coit St. Frusquin, by St. Simon out of Isabel, was first; the Duke of Westminster's brown fily, Omladina, by Royal Hampton, out of Geheimniss, second, and the Prince cf. Wales’ bay colt, Persimmon, brother of Florizel Il, by St. Simon, out of Perdita IJ. third. The betting was 4 to 1 against St. Frus- quin, 5 to 2 against Omladina, and 2 to 1 against Persimmon. ‘The Spiders Divide the Spoil. Each member of the Cleveland Base Ball Club has recelved a check for $528.23, that being the individval share of tke players from the Temple cup games, The club’ share of the receipts amounted to $8,453.28, which amoung was divided between sixteen players. Capt. Tebeau received the follow- ing flattering telegram from President Freedman of the New York club: “You have clearly Gemonstrated-that you are the base ball general of the season. The pen- nant winners have simply won through a fluke. Am satisfied yours is the team of the year. Accept congratulations.” Defeat of the §S,000 Sherlock. The sensation of yesterday's races at La- tonia wa: the defeat of the crack colt Sherlock, recently purchased by C. Fleisi mann & Son for $8,000 from Carroll Reid. He wes an odds-on favorite,heavily backed, but was beaten by Sir Play, who was in receipt of eleven pourds. The time, 1.15 1-2, was fast for the track. First Mate won the maiden stake for two-year-olds, but Kate Legrande would prol ably have beaten him had she rot been almost knocked out of the race on the turn. Only one favorite, First Mate, was a winner in the six races. Jockey Chcrn was indefinitely suspended by the judges for uring foul language to the starter. It is not probable that he will be allowed to ride again.

President Milbank of the Princeton foot ball team says that Capt. Lea has been misquoted in an interview in which he was made to say that he was strongly opposed toa Harvard game. The interview in ques- tion, recently published, credits to Capt. Lea s-veral statements which are not con- sistent with his present views on this mat- ter, according to Mr. Milbank. . No challenge has as yet been received from Harvard, and the Princeton foot ball Manager seys that it would be premature to say what Princeton would do in case such a challenge should be received. Celebrated With a Trolley Party. The “rooters” cf Baltimore last night celebrated the winning of the National League bese ball championship with a mammoth trolley party, a reception and a ball. The trolley party had thirty cars in line, and ended at Music Hall, where a_re- ception was tendered to the players. The pelt followed and was kept up until morn- ng. Two Scientific Mate There were two scientific matches in yes- terday’s intercollegiate tennis tournament at New Haven. Whitman of Harvard de- feated Fischer of New York in two well- played sets. Budlong of Brown, who was lcoked upon as a dangerous man, failed to win a game in his match with Foote of Yale. In the double set between Ware and der, Harvard, and Chase and Foote, Yale, the best tennis of the meet was seen. The Harvard men put up a steady, hard geme, and in the second set had the game well in hand at 5-1, but Foote and Chase finally won, 10-8. Summarie: Singles, second round—Whitman beat Fischer, 6-3, 6-4; semi-finals, Foote beat Budlong, 6-0, 6-0; Chase beat Whitman, first_ round—Wrenn and Read, , beat Sheldon and Kent, Yale, 6-3, semi-finals, Wrenn and Read, Harvard, beat Budlong and Barrows, Brown, 1-6, 6-4, 6-1; Chace and Foote, Yale, beat Ware and Scudder, 7-5, 10-8. A New Bicycle Record. P. J. Berlo, the professional bicyclist, yes- terday, at Hartford, Conn., made a new record for a mile, flying start, covering the distance in 1:46 4-5. The former record was made by Harry Tyler. aylo was paced by his new quintuplet. Cherjer Oak Park was in fine condition, but. the weather was rather cool, and a strong breeze blew up the back stretch. The first quarter was made and the three quar- in 26, the half in 52 4-5 0. ters in 1 paced by the “quint.” Both Berlo and Windle will try again to- day, their intention being to lower the mile record to 1:42, Success of the!

Old sores are healed by § THE CARROLL INSTITUTE Enters Upon Another Year of Its Pros- perous Career. George Bogus Re-Elected President— Various Features of the Work of the Institution Past and Present. The Carroll Institute held its twenty- second annual meeting and election of offi- cers last night at the hall, with a large attendance of members of this well-known organization. President George Bogus pre- sided at the meeting and submitted his annual report, which showed the institute to be In a prosperous condition. The re- port of the treasurer was also received, and the finances were found to be in good con- dition, with a net balance for the year of $413.43. The meeting proceeded to the election of officers, and appointed the following board of managers to conduct the election: H. W. Sohon, R. McDonald, John T. Shea and M._J. Keane. For two hours the polls remained open. The old board was unanimously re-elected, as follows: President, Ge Bogus; vice president, James F. Shea; secretary, Joseph President Bogus. A. Burkart; treasurer, N. T, Taylor; mem- bers of tne board, John J. Dolan, Edward J. Hannan, William L. Soleau and Edw: J. Walsh. Mr. George Bogus, who was re-elected president, has been prominently identitied with the business interests of Washington for more than forty years. He came to Washington in 1850, and several years later he entered into the coal business with the late Samuel H. Young, and in 1861 he started out for himself, and he fs now known as one of the substantial men of Weshington. Mr. Bogus has been connected with the Carroll Institute since its inceptioa in 1s and has held officiai position in the organi- zation constantly, especially in connection w:th the night schools, which did such good work until the establishment of the public right schools made them’ unnecessary. When the institute started on G street it had a membership of twenty-five. When it its F street home three years ago the yembership amounted to 200; now it is about 600. Mr. Bogus was a member of the committee which negotiated the sale of the F street property, and was also tne treasurer of the building committee under whose direction the handscme home of the institute on 16th street was crected. At the election last year he was chosen president to succeed Mr. E. J. Hannan. The Carroll Institute starts in upon its winter work under the most auspicious cir- cumstances, and with a large and enthu- silastic membership. Both the literary and the athletic features will receive a duce share of attention. The free lecture courses wil be continued, and efforts are now bc- ing made to provide a series of Sun evening lectures by prominent clergy and members of the faculty of the Catholic University on the principles of the Catholic faith. In addition to the junior, active, Mbrary and gymnasium mmbership, the Carroll Institute has also a life membership ist, which contains the names, among oth- ers, of A. A. Wilson, E. Francis Riggs, Thos. E. Waggaman, Wm. F. Downey, M. H. Shea, Frank May and George May. eS TO PROTECT THE BASS. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I read with considerable interest and concurrence the article in last Saturday's Star on bass fishing in the Potomac. I would go a step further than the writer and say the Potomac is the finest bass stream in the world. This is due, of course, to its peculiar location, fed almost entirely by ptre mountain water and running its full course over a rocky bottom. But as a bass stream I think its days are numbered unless prompt and efficient measures are adopted for its preservation. I have just returned* from a fishing and observation trip m canoes in company with Mr. G. Ed- monston, Capt. West and Mr. Enoch Ed- monston. Our journey extended from near Cumberland to Washington, a distance of about 180 miles. The writer of last Satur- day's article is well pcsted. He refers to the low water driving the bass down the river, but in another paragraph I think he hits the nail on the head squarely. Let me quote: “The fact was also mentioned that the refuse from the pulp mills at Harper's Ferry, consisting of sawdust and small fragments of wood which was thrown into the er, floated down and, becoming water-logged, sank to the bottom and cov- ered the gravel and sand bars which the bass select in the spring as nesting places, and thus drove them to seek other places, where these conditions did not exist. It 18 gratifying to be able to state that the lat- ter statement came to the attenition of one of the capitalists interested in the man- ufacture of pulp at Harper's Ferry, and that measures will be adopted to prevent the further throwing of such refuse inio the water.” I am glad that one capitalist is interest- irg himself in the matter, and hope he will accomplish good results. But those who unconsciously or carelessly are ruining the water are not all so philanthropic, and stringent laws should be passed by Con- ress to save the pure water of this noble stream. For instance, go to Oldtown, be- low Cumberland about sixteen miles. The water there In both canal and river is as black as coal, caused by the refuse and chemicals of the paper mills, saw mills and tan yards of Cumberland and the upper river. About two miles below Oldtown the South branch comes in. What a contrast to ses its clear waters run side Ly side with the unbottled ink of the parent stream and for a_long distance refusing to mix with it. That black water now extends irom Cumberland to below Hanco: has almost ruined the magnificent tf of the upper river and is crowding gamest of all fish down to salt water. Again referring to the quotation above given, I would ask is it not the refuse and chem: of the pulp mills at Harper's Ferry that have injured the former great fishing ground at Weverton and fer some miles below? If some one will take the lead, I know of ten Congressmen who will do their share to protect the bass and _ the river. W. A.

The soaring of aebird may be compared with a boy sliding down hiil on a sled. If a hill ts, say, 100 feet high, and the sides slope off in a horizcntal direction 2,000 feet from, the summit, and if the snow is smooth, a boy can mount a sled and ad- yance 2,40) feet while he ts falling, as re- Jates to the earth, 4 feet; that is, the sled with the boy on it in falling through a di: tance of one foot develops sufficient power to drive the sled forward twenty feet, but when the boy is at the Luttom of the hill OF BIRDs. Maxim the sled soon come: pose, now, that a hill could be made a manner that {t would constantly ri such a velocity that the sled wouid never reach the bottom of the hill, the boy would then be able to slide forever, and this is exactly what occurs with a bird. A bird places its wings in such a position that, as it falls in the air, say one foot, it moves forward through the air twenty feet; that is, it slides along on the surface of the alr underneath its wings in the same manner that the boy slides down the hill. Suppose, now, that the velocity of the bird should be about thirty miles an hour, this would account for the whole phenomenon of soaring on an upward current of only one and one-half miles an hour. With a upward current of two miles an hour the cart bird would rise, as relates to the one-half a mile an hour while actually fall- ing through the air at the rate of one and one-half miles an hour. There is no doubt that a bird, by some very delicate seuse of feeling and touch, {s able to ascertain whether it is falling or rising in the It is well known that fish -have this pow- er. If a surface fish sinks too decply in the water the compression of its swim bladder roduces a sensation or impression upon its rain, which causes the fish to change its course, and relieves the pressure by coming nearer to the surface, and a similar thing is true of the deep sea fish. If they-ap- proach the surface their swim bladder be- comes enormously distended, and no doubt produces a sensation which the fish know is relieved by again sinking into very deep water. If these fish are caught and drawn to the surface, the distension of the swim bladder becomes so great that it displaces all the other organs of the body. In all probability the numerous air cells which are found in the body of a bird are provided with delicate nerves, which oper- ate in a similar manner to those of the swim bladder of a fish, so that as the bird is moving forward through the air it Is ablq to take advantage of a rising column of air. As a whole, we may consider that the rising column of air would be half of the total area of the earth's surface, so that a soaring bird would always have rising columns of which would serve as @ suppcrt.
