AT 10WA'S RACING CENTERS Prespeots for the August and Ssptember Mectings Better Than Ever WORLD'S CHAMPIONS AT DES MOINES Allorton and Delmarch Will Start for n Ten Thousand wo—Willinms' Great Meeting at Indep neo~To Be Soen at Knoxvilleund Mason City, Des Moixes, fa., May 80.—[Special to Trn Bk, |—Withia the past fow yours lowa has become one of the foramost horse-raising and horse-racing states in the union, Her blue grass pasturos are acknowledged to be un- rivaled even by the famous blue grass of Kentucky, and for speed fowa horses have all but eclipsed the world. For many years tho race track was a couspicuous feature of overy county fair in the state, but the purses were too smull to atiract any but very or- dinary speed, and it was not until C. W. Williams struck a lucky streak in the pur- chase of Axtelland his subsequent establish- mont of Rush Park at Independonce, that Towa pooplohiad any pretensions in the horse- racing world. Now Rush Park is the fore- most track in the state and is acknowledged 10 be one of the fastest in the worid, Will- Jams has forged ahead in remarkable man- wer, and with Allorton and quite a string of wther good Lorses 18 cutliug quito an er- viable splurge. Hundreds of borses are now trained ot Rush Park every year, and some remarkablo records have been made on Lho famous kit track. This rainy spring has demonstrated the nccessity of a covered track for tralning purposes, aud it is said Willlams will supply the waninext year. A great program has bren avranged for Rush Park atthe August meeting aud over $100,000 will be distributed in vurses. The feature of the meeting will bo the contest between Axtoll and Allerton for a purse of §10,00, and négotiations uro pending for otber meetiugs of Allerton and Axtell on other tracks. After the Independence meeting Allerton will come to Des Moines and meet Delmarch for a $10,000 purse, ana these two will also meet at St. Joseph, Mo, In his training at. Rush Park tuis spring, despite the soft weather. Allerton has trotted eignths in 153 seconds, a 2:06 kait, without appurent offcrt. Besides Allerton Rush Park bas about 'twenty other horses in training, among thew being Canary Bird, B-year-ola, record 2:10}. She is very fast this apring ana is expected to be a good one in the 4-yenr-old class this year, Lf all goes well she will be started with Allerton later in the season to beat the double-team record. A 2-year-old pacer by Director bids fair to e another Direct, as sho has already shown a2:20clip. A 2year-old trotter by Axtell ;nd one by Red Wilkes also promise to be ast. The_yearlings by Allerton are Mr. ‘Williams’ especial pride, and he has about a dozen of them i training. ‘They are very promising, several ot them bhaving gone eighths in from twenty to twenty-five seconds. Their actions would indicate that Allerton will prove to be a graat sire. In addition to Mr. Williams’ horses there are soveral other strings of trotters at the track. Charles Thompson of Keno F. fame, has a very strong string of green horses, several of which can snow a 2:% gait or bet- tor. They aro liberally engaged in valuable stakes at all the big meotiogs. John Hussey, formerly C. W. Williahs' right-hand mau, has 8 string of fast youngsters, avout fifteen inall. J. W. Mercer who drove Iucasto & mark of 3:141¢ st season, bas, besides this horse, several others in training. J. F. Martindale, well known to the theatri world as_Frauk Howard, author of **Only a Pausy Blossom,” etc, is engaged in the breeaing business here, and has a number in tramning. Oue of them—a pacer— goes under the name of Femalo Pirate, but she can pace close Lo a two-minute clip. Great proparations are being made for the tWo weeks meetiug in August. A new $15,000 grand stand with & seatiug capacity of 10,000 will be erected at thre driving parik, an eleotric street railway is now being built 0 the grounds, and a $4),000 hotel n pro- cess of construction. Mr. Williams is back of all these enterprises. The present season promises t bo morasuccessful_than auy of the past in the history of Rush Park. Next to Rush Park In point of age ana _im- portance, probably, is the Iowa Driving Park association’s place at Knoxville, where a fine mile-track of the oval shape is located and ‘where some good racing was had last year. ‘The entries for this year are all closed and among them appuar some of the best known horses from all over the country. The purses are liceral and & successful meating 1s looked forward to in August, the weath®r permit- ting. The next track in point of importance and 8ge.in Iows 13 the mile kite-shapo at Mason City, where some good speed was shown at the meeting lust yoar. Your correspondent hias not seen any announcement for # meet- <ing this year, but thers will probabiy be a good one. The horsemen of this city have been siow about getting around, but have ut last ®ot to work and organized tho Des Moines Driviog Park association. A strong effort ‘was made lust year to have the state agricul- soclety construct o mile-track oun the state fair grounds, but it failed. The Des Moines society has now provided for the long felt ‘want by the construction ofa mile track of tho kite shape within the city limits and not over a mile from the business center. A pro- gramme for 8 summer meoting, August 5 to bas been arranged, at which $60,000 will be distributed 'mwmoug u couple hundred entries. The chief feature will be the coutest between Allerton and Del:narch noted above. The on low lund and has been submerged duriug the late high water, so that training has not yet com- menced, but will soon. The chivf maver in tbe organization here is . M. Huobell, who has ample capital and will unot led toe associ- ation become bumpered in its incipiency for want of funds. Among the horses expected here is the groat California vearling, ['rou Frou (3:25%),who will go against tho worla’s record as u Z-year-old. J. D. McKercher of Denver will bo hero with a string of twenty horses, and C. A. Thowpson of Independence ‘has engaged barnroom for his large string. ‘Then there will be a pacing raca for §5,000 botween Roy Wilkes, Guy und Manager. ‘Roy Wilkes hus & mark of 21081, Guy 2:0014 CM{ Manager Lolds the world’s record for 2 aud 3.yearold pacers.

AC A, ONE FROM BOSTON, ONE FROM AUSTRALIA 1l Longwinded Watking, Mateh with a Little Fighting on thiy Side—Adjourned Until This Efonlng — How Slav Lotk idit the End., Sax Fraxcisco, Cal,, May 81.—Billy Mur- phy of New Zealand and Johnny Murphy of Boston fought to a finish at tho Pacific Ath- letic club tonight for a $1,250 purse. Johnny Murphy, who is the boxing *instructor of Harvard college, was sometning of an un- known quantity her, it being his first battlo on the coast, and tho betting favored his namesake at odds of 20 to 12, Billy’s vieto- ries over Johuny Griffia and Ike Weir and the memorable draw with Frank Murphy of England, in which the Australian broke an arm, being still fresh in the minds of the sports. Moveover, Johuny Murphy “was believed to be han capped in everything but weight and pluck. ‘The men have been carefully trained close tothe 116 pound limit. Several pre- himinaries proceded the contest. Alec Grog- gains and Dan Fitzpairick seconded the Bos- tonian, Martin Murphy and Sol Smith sec- onded Bill Murphy. Mike Sullivan was the roferve. Time was called at Billy scored the first blood with the long left in the wind, which bhe repeated a fow seconds later, Johnny essaying to counter. The Australian looked life a full grown man beside Johnny. He securea a loft in the wind and caught a lef* in the chin, buta long swing landed on Johany’s chin and he stag- gerod, slipping. to the floor. The second clip near the ena of the round sent Johnuy spinning, Billy’s long left now looked as an unsurmountable obstacle for the Bostonian. Second Rourd- John landed a good left on the Now Zealander’s mouth and some clever dodging followed. The Bostonian swung his right @ couple of times, but wus 100 short. He countered on tho head hard and Billy reachied him, and the spectators cheered. John dodged lefts, but received a smash in the mouth as the round closed. T'hird Round—Billy’s left found the ribs; John ducked right swings aud sgeored a left hook, Billy giving away several chances in aiming for the ribs, and the light Bostonian took advantage of them. Tho cheering was great at every stage of the fight. The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth rounds were ouly a repetition of the preceding ones. Tu the tenth round' ‘Billy scored swo hard smashes which looked for a time like a fin- isher. Nothiug was accomplished in the eleventh and twelith rounds. In the thirteenth the Bostonian staggerad his opponent with a right cross and smashea him with both hands untilitlooked as if Billy was out. Johnny failed of an uvper cut at a critical moment and Billy cama back hard with his right. The New Zealander was in bad shape, however, and had the Bostoniaf”more length of arm he would undoubtediy have finished tho fight in the round. In the fourteenth. round Biliy landed on the Bostonian’s cheek with a right-hander, drawing blood; some light sparring and a rally near the ropesifollowed. The fighting commenced again in_the sev- enteenth, when Billy pinned the Bostonian in & corner, hammeriug him with both hands until the short ertders féared for their man, After that the walk around act was the tactics and in the tyenty-first not a blow was struck and the #Wwehty-fourth was finished with but little damage to either man. In the twenty-fifth the men came_ together near the ropes arfd thk hattest it of Ol\lpfimz resulted in Billy Murpby going to tbe floor from an upper cut. He sfayed down nume long seconds and’the Bostonian’s friends claimed Billy should have been counted out. Billy roso and made several wild rushes, but Johany, as cool as ever, stabbed him ‘with left aud right, sending him helpless o the ropes. As the gong sounded in the twenty-sixth Billy swung both hands flercely and jabbed him iu tke face, but the little man, thongh he scomed weak, camo back at him and had the best of the round. Twenty-seventh to thirtieth, scarcely a blow was struck. From the thirty-fourth to the thirty- seventh round nothing was done, and Man- ager Harrison announced that if the mon did not fight during the fortieth round the fight would be declared ‘‘no contest.” The club positively would not decldre 1t a draw. At the end of the fortv-sixth round, nothing having been done, Refereo Suliivan announced that as the men would not fight e woula declare the contest postponed until the ena of June. Manager Harrison after a conferonce with the men, seconds and referee, announced the fight would be continued - to a finish tomor- row night. AFTER THE BATTLE, Slaven Badly Used Up as a Kesult of His Encounter with Slaven. LoxpoN, May 31,—At the close of the fight Siavin, as he lay helpless and disfigured on the %floor of the stage, appeared to be almost dead. Ho pre- sented a woeful appearance aud showed very plainly the effocts of the terrible punishment which had been administered to bim by his Jdusky antugonist.

Rt i NO DAMAGES AWARDED. Douglas Street Grade Appralsers Decldo on Thelr Report. A board of appraisers, composed of W. J. Mount, G. C. Bassott and A. W. Phelps, sat yesterday afternoon in the Builders and ‘Lraders hoadguarters in the New York Life ouilding, for the purpose of hearing com- plaints from property owners asto what damages, if any, there would be to property by the proposed grade of Douglas street, be- tween Sixteonth and Twentietn. Dr. J. C, Denise and Mrs. J. R. Meredith, who own residence property at the corner of Niuneteenth and Dodge streets, claim they would sustain_damages by reason of tho grade. They were asked if they did not con- sider that their respective pieces of property would ba benefitted by a grade which would make Louglas a busmess strcet. Neither thought their property would be enbanced in value, But the cut, they said, would dam. age it. Ex-Judge Anderson, who 18 Droperty owner in the district, otherwise, and said that 1t was essential that the cut b made. Ho thought all property would bo benefitted rather than damagod. Ho and Dr. Denise indulged in a little unpleasantry in which the former smd he was no mossback, no bog for damages, btt a man of progressive idoas who wanted to sco the town grow by improvemeats being made. Dr. Denise rotorted that Mr. Anderson wanted the improvements at somebody else’s expenso. Chairman Mount called them down and they subsided. Mr. Bassett asked Dr. Denise if he did not think the improvement of Douglas street. would benefit Dodze, *Not now,” replied the doctor, ‘in fifty years it might, but we are not considering prospective benefits—simply actual benofits or damages at the vresent time.” “V/e don’t want it for a business street,” internosed Mrs. Mereaith. *“T'he property is our homes, and that's what we want 1t for. The proposod grade will spoil the property for residence. ~ By th previous grades we cousider that our proverty has depreciatea in value. 1 can't understand why tho property owners on Nineteenth and Dodge streets are to bo assessod for the grade of Nineteenth and Douglas when it is detrimen- talto our interests. It is unjust, as we don’t want to pay for a thing that i3 an in- jury to us.” Mr. Basseut’said that Douglas street must. be & business thoroughfare, and to make it such the cut was inevitable. Othors als0_complained of the aamages they would sustain, but the board decided to allow no award of damages, as it was thought the benefits to accrue would offset any damages.
