SIX WELL- FILLED RACES RUN An Immense Crowd Witness the Good Contests. OTHER SPORTING MATTERS Six well-filled races, including a full- course steeplechase for qualified hunters, formed the card at the Benning track yes- terday afternoon, the eighth day of the autumn meeting of the Washington Jockey Club, and an in.mense crowd took advan- tage of the perfect racing weather. For about the first time during the meeting the public had the better of the argument with the gentlemen of odds, three favorites, two second choices and an outsider finishing first. The first accident of the meeting in a flat race occurred in the second race, in which twenty maiden two-year-olds started. Rounding the turn to the home stretch, De- ceptive, the 7 to 5 favorite, with O'Leary riding, stumbled and fell. Impartial, with Garrigan up, and Nonford, Marty Bergen riding, were right behind and fell over De- ceptive. The horses -were not injured, but O'Leary suffered a severe shaking up, as did Bergen, Garrigan escaping injury, and riding In the next race. O'Leary was found to be badly hurt about the face, ribs and shoulder, while Bergen’s hand was badly cut. He and O'Leary were subsequently sent to Providence Hospital. In view of the great success of the meeting, and to meet a general desire, the officials of the club yesterday decided to continue the meeting during the present month, and, instead of closing next Saturday the meeting will close the 30th instant. Of course, should winter weather come before that time the meeting will be discontinued, as the club will not permit anything smacking of win- ter racing. Trillo, the 2 to 1 favorite in the first race, won rather easily, but the sec- ond was captured by Specialist, an 8 to 1 outsider. W. C. Hayes’ Virginia Dare, the § to 5 favorite in the hunters’ steeplechase, won from start to finish, finishing pulted up. Acrobat, at 1 to 2, won the fourth event as he pleased, Leando, the 3 to 1 second choice, taking the fifth by a neck from Meehanus, the 1 to 2 favorite, while a sec- ond choice, Dalgretti, at 2 to 1, beat Lex- ington Pirate, the 6 to 5 favorite, in the last race. The following is a summary of the day’s racing: First race, one mile—Trillo, 106; Maher, 2 to 1, won; Campania, 94, McCue, 8 to 1, second; Judge Wardell, 103, Clawson, 4 to 1, third. Time, 1:44.

Carroll Institute materially strengthened its hold upon first place in the District Bowling League last night by winning three games from the Business Men's Club. The match was entirely creditable to the league, the games being well played and all of the scores being close. Indeed, it {s doubtful if any three games in the league’s history were ever so uniformly interesting. It was nearly 12 o'clock befor2 the last man rolled, yet the closeness of the score kept the play- ers on their mettle. ndow Merritt has certainly proved him- self a valuable acquisition to the Carroll ranks, and h2 is entitled to all of the credit for the institute's victory in the last game. While Smithson has the honor of rolling the highest single game—198—his average for the series falls quite below Merritt's. A peculiar fact it is that while th> Car- rolls were always victorious, not a single box in any of the three games was bowled clean. Harlow, usually a first-class man, had a decidedly off night. A difference of but ten pins separated the {ams in the first game, the score being always close. Schlesinger might have seved the struggle for South Washington had he spared in his last box, but could not do the trick. Institute's lead, secured in the first frame, when tha first three men struck, was never overcome. The score follows: Carroll Institu! Business Men's Club, St. St. Sp.

A Review of What Was Accomplished on Local Tracks, AMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL STATUS a More Events Than Ever Known in Any Previous Years. 4 INTERESTING TABLES a Outdoor bicycle track racing has closed for the season so far as the sport is locally concerned, and a review of the year shows that it has been by far the best season ever known in this city. It has been a banner season in more than one respect, and it is likely that next season will eclipse it in every respect. So far as the number of race meets are concerned no previous year has ever known so many, and the character of the racing has heen high above that of all other years, and the local followers of the sport have had a chance of seeing some of the crack riders cf the country contest on their own course. While the financial support given te the racing this year was not all that it might have been, yet for next season much better re- sults are anticipated. Briefly summarized there have been seventeen meets held this year, including national circuit dates, holiday meets ind the regular week-day races. ‘Che opening race was held May 12, and the closing race was practically October 5, when the last of the outlaw professional races was held. This number of meets equals the total num. ber for all of the previous years extending back to 1890, so it is clai During the season the Jocal amateur riders carried oft prizes amounting to $1 , while the professionals, attached to this city, suc- ceeded in winning a. total of $799.50. This makes a grand total of $2,057 won by the local men, but it does not represent the total value of the prizes offered. The cir~ cuit meets held in this city bring out ex- tra large prize lists, and most of this money, in fact, all, is carried away by the outside cracks, arid does not enter into the above figures. At a careful estimate the total value of the prizes for amateurs and the cash purses for professional riders is placed at nearly $3,500. The Championships. At the beginning of the year The Star commenced the compilation of tables, show- ing the standing of each rider and the value of the prizes won by him. These tables covered both the amateur and professional classes. They were published from time to time during the year, and were eagerly read. As the season is over the complilation of the tables to date gives interestiag mat- ter. For the amateurs Fred Schade is clearly entitled to the honor of champion for all around riding, while for tke pro- fessionals the honor is carried off ty W. Fred Sims. While the championship for the District is held by C. J. Mueller, it is for winning the one-mile rate héld June 23 at the Park track, in competition with the other local amateur cracks. Schade was barred from this by reason’ of the fact that his home is in Virginia, and that he holds the cham- pionship of that state, and also the cham- pionship of the south. While an amateur in the early part of the year he had every- thing practically his.own way, and piled up the score, which heads the amaieuc table. e the fact'that he was in the bunch of leading amateurs transferred to the pro- fessional ranks early in July, no other local amateur has sticceeded in overtaking his seore. To him, is ,therefore entitled the credit of all around champion. In this con- nection it might ube added tnat this is Schade's last year on the track, and that he wi] no longer” fide around the oval for eycle honors.) 2% eB For the professiona] riders Sfins has heen as far above.them all as Schade has been above the amateurs. He took the .ead early in the season and has successfully held it ever since, coming out at the close of the racing season with the practical title of al! around professional champion. He has shown his ability to defeat any of the local amateurs or professionals, an1 has aiso established three world’s records on the local track, which bid fair to remain for some time. In the tables following the matte: ing the points is to allow four points for every first won; two points for every sec- ond, and one point for every trd position secured in a race. No places lower than third are counted. In the tables are count- ed the winners of novice races, tandem and multicycle events, handicap and open races, and even match races. Every race won by a man is practically recorded, and he {s given credit for the performance. Since the lead- ers in the tables were thrown into the pro- fessional ranks Hanger has been the only amateur to make any considerable gain, and he advanced from near the end of the table to fourth place. Had more amateur races been held it is safe to predict tuat he would-have come out at the top. Farring- ton, Cogswell and Miller also made good gains, as did Rhine. The other amateurs seemed to be unable to do anything in working their score upward. + Standing of Amateur Riders. The standing of the amateur riders for the past racing season is as follows: Firsts.

Business Men's Club, same thing applies that may be said in the table of scores. Practically the same men made the upw fump, but did not get enough to take the lead. It can be said to the er2dit of the remaining amateurs that after the profesSionai ranks were so swell- ed up the number of amateur races were cut down consideradjy, and only a limited number and smaller prizes resulted. If the reverse had been the case, the tables would hav> most likely been different. err St. Sp. Se. St. Sp.

In the table of professional winnings each sum represents cash. In the amateur tables the sum represents the advertised value of the prizes won. Fred Sims stands at the head of this, and with the winnings of his brother added to his own, the total repre- sents over half of the aggregate value of cash prizes captured by the other local men. The standing of the riders in the table of winnings is almost the ime as in the score table. This sum, it must be re- membered, represents only the money wou in the District, at local race meets. It does not include any purses that may hays been taken in at meets outside of the city. If an account had been kept of all cf the win- nings of the riders, the aggregate sums would have been many times larger. Professional Winnings.

FRENCH-ITALIAN Event An- nounced in Paris Yesterda A dispatch from Paris last night says: It Was quite unexpectedly announced this af- ternoon that a commercial treaty had been conctuded between France and Italy, grant- ing mutually favored treatment except for silk goods, which will remain subject to the maximum tax. A bill embodying the agree- ment will be submitted immediately to the chamber of deputies, The government also introduced a bill tm the chamber today modifying the wine due ties favorably to Italy. ‘The negotiations that have culminated im these arrangements have been on foot for two years, but nobody believed that a define ite agreement was pending. It is believed that the Fashoda affair was instrumental in inducing France to grant the necessary concessions, though it is noteworthy that the silk duties, which caused the breaking of the treaty in 188, remain almost unchanged. The negotiae tions have beer conducted with the utmost secrecy. The exact effect of the concessions ine volved is not known yet, but it is expected they will have an important political ine fluence for the removal of a long-standing friction between the two countries. - The treaty, it is noticed, was concluded during the absence of Emperor William from Germany, and there is much specula- tion regarding its probable results upon the ea alliances. ne Rome correspondent of the Londop Daily News sey: “The conclusion of the Franco-Italian treaty came as @ thundem clap. Looking to the hitherto strained re lations between Paris and Rome, the treaty Ld may be considered the most important ternational event as regards Italy since the conclusion of the triple alliance. ee es It pays te read the want columns of The Star.
