The old base ball grounds on Twentieth street were divested of their one- time associations and formally garbed with the orange and blue of their new proprie- tors. A more favorable afternoon for the dedicatory ceremonies could hardly have been imagined. The May sky was but slightly obscured by the billowy clouds through which just enough of sunshine was allowed to sift to make a seat in the grand stand enjoyable, and the spring breezes struggled over the grass blades with just force enough to inspire the lovers of out- door sports with delightful exhilaration. 1 The promoters of the enterprise have rea- son for self-congratulation at the size and character of the audience that witnessed the opening of the grounds. There were fully 2,500 peovle present, representing a large proportion of the most prominent busi- ness and professional men of the city. The grand stand was filled to its entire capacity with a throng in which the fresh summer cos- tumes of enthusiastic lady well wishers were in the majority and the masculine element overflowed into the campus and ranged it- seolf in long ranks on either side of the track. The well known features of the old ball field ‘were scarcely to berecognized under the new order of things. The new grand stand is smaller, but incomparably cleaner than the former structure and the bleachers have been removed to make room for the dressing rooms and training quarters. The diamond is encircled by a new quarter mile bicycle track which, when it has acquired the finish- ing vouches, will be the best in the state. At the buck of the grounds is space for foot ball, tennis and all the other sports which will be incorporated in the curriculum of the association. President A, P, Tukey called the assem- to order yesterday afternoon, and as the initiatory event the stirs and stripes were run to the top of the flay staff while the “Young Men’s Christian association band dis- coursed a national anthem. Rev, S. Wright Butler offered a brief prayer in which he called for the blessing of Providenco on the work then inaugurated and vrayed that it might be a means of much benefit to the young men of the city. Governor Crounse on Sport. The opening address was by Governor Crounse, who was received with prolonged applause. The governor said that he was not present so much for what he might say, a8 o testify by his presenco his approval of the enterprise. This country was not re- miss in providing for the intellectual ad- vancement cf the people. Nebraska was not surpassed in this respect, and for the most part, her schools and other educational ad- vantages were free. The means of intellec- tual improvement were on every hand, but here was opened a school which would meet, a want in affording an_education which had heretofore been neglected. “We have failed to cultivate this other side bf our nature and this failure is rapidly leading to a degeneracy of the age. This need 18 to be met here where we will have athletic sports divorced from all their lower- ing elements. *‘There is in all men an element of sport. No man 1a really a full man #lnless he is pos- sessed of it in some degree. The Greeks made athletic games a part of their religion and had they known athletics as we.ao now, Alcibiades might have become noted as a short stop and Glaucus would certainly have ‘won fame on the tennis field. The desire for natural exercise pervades every human breast and is a God appointed means for the development of the man." The speaker remarked that to the athletic habits of his youth he owed the fact that he had an iron constitution as a part of his capital and had never paid 5 for doctor bills in his life. In this day when all men are en- fngefl in such a mad race for advancement t required an unusual amount of energy to attain success either in professional or busi- ness life, and this strain must sooner or later tell upon the health. What would it profit a man to have all his ambitions gratified when }lll health is gone? What woula any accumu- ation of wealth amount to, when it brought with it a dyspepsia which made it impossi- ble for him to enjoy it? The conclusion and moral of the address wis found in the state- ment that the enterprise thus formally in- augurated by the association was deserving of “every encouragement that the public could offer it. Approved Of by the Mayor, Another selection by the band was fol- lowed by an address by Mayor George P. Bemis, who sald that he had always taken a fl"“' interest in the prosperity of the Young en's Christian association. He was glad tosee that it was getting into a broader field, and believed that this departure would result in a material incrcase in the member- ship and prosperity of the organization. He leved in physical culture as well as men- tal and moral development, and therefore heartily endorsed all manner of manly sports and games. He had been largely interested in the erection of several churches, and had often thought that these features might with rofit be added to the attractions of these stitutions. It was in the empty chambers of the brain that the devil danced a polka, and if the churches were equipped with gym: nasiums and baths it miyht have u saving of- fect on the young men of the congregation, ‘The speaker proceeded to touch on some sopics not down on the program, He said that he believed that saloons should be open 80 that people could know where their boys were. lefuse 10 license the saloons and there would be so-called social clubs in the alleys where the young men could let them- selves in with pass keys and indulge in vice with no one the wiser for 1t. He did not be- lieve in setting the Sabbath apart as a day to be abserved with long faces and on whi the young man could not properly be atlowed w0 m 0 see his best girl. ;‘‘How about the World's fair?” asked a voice from the grand stand. “I betieve that there could be many worse things than having the gates of the fair open on Sunday,” replied the mayor without hesitation, and the seutiment was greeted b‘ the most enthusiastic applause of the » oon. ‘When the Dean Sald Iy Dean Garduer captured the risabilitles of his audience by telling a good story on him- self, which illustrated his own fondness for athleties.

A game of base ball was played between the regular Young Men's Christian associa- tion team aud a picked nine, in which the former iwere victorious by 13 to 3. The Young Men's Christian association players also gave an exhibition of basket ball, which occasioned considerable amusement. On Decoration day there will be a game of base ball between the Young Men's Christian association team and that of the University of Nebraska on the Omaha grounds. CRICKET AT THE FAIR GROUNDS, Clever Scratoh Gams by Fourteen of the Omaha Club Yesterday. Somewhera about six weeks ago a few cricket enthusiasts in Omaba put their heads together with the idea of forming an Omaha Cricket club. Since then cricketers have been gathering from all parts of the city until now the Omaha club is a flourishing organization ot 100 or more play- ing members. Each man is levied on for an annual subscription of # and out of the money thus raised $300 each year is paid for the use of the ground. Yesterday afternoon 1t was expected that there would be a match game between two elevens picked from members of the club. At 2:50 two English-looking individuals—one of them carrying a green bag which looked as if it might contain a cricket bat and the other earing in his arms two or more legs guard, which also had a decidedly crickety appearance about them—emerged from be: hind the grand stand and entered the green sward in the center of The field. Slowly and deliberately they doffed theircoats and hats, pitched the stumps which they had brought with them in the aforesaid green bag and commencedpractice at bowling and batting. Gradually other members of the ulub ap- peared on the scene and by 4 o'clock an at- tempt was made to get up a game. The practice in the meantime had been fast and iree. There were three balls going at a time until one of them,a bail which had seen a little more usage than the others, was accidentally hit in two by one of the bats- men. At'no time in the afternoon was there & sufficient number of players on the ground to put two full teams into the tield. But that did not matter. By making the “in” side field an excellent game was made up with seven men on each side. One man scoring, two men batting and eleven fielding at a time made up the complete set, the a ing side being thus at all times up to its full strength, Mr. R, W. Taylor's side went to the wickets first at 4 0. with the captain and W. R. Vaughan. Mr. G. H. Vaugnan, cap- tain of the other side, took the first over with the ball himself and throughout the innings alternated the overs with New, a bright young cricketer who was particu- larly unfortunate when he afterwards ap- peared at the wicket in having his stump knocked down before he had had any chance of distinguishing himself. With the bali, however, he knocked down two wickets, in addition to disposing of the highest scorer of the day by apretty, though easy catch. Vaughan did not stay at the wicket for long. but his partner, before he left, put on several runs, and afterwards, on being joined by Hart, raised the score above the teens before he went down to a fast ball irom New, the first of a new over. Murray then joined Hart and while Hart kept his end up with an_occasional additional run, Murray knocked the balls from either of the bowlers indiscriminately and before he left had the highest score of the afternoon to his credit. After this partuership ended vickets fell fast and by 5 o'elock the side was out for a total of 45. Mr. G. H, Vaughan's side never made any determined stand, and of the seventoen which they eventually put together five were put down to the credit of Wilson—all from one hit, three of the five being from an overthrow. The game was all over by 5:30 and the players scattered more quickly than they had gathered. On Tuesday afternoon, Decoration day, & match game will be played on the fair grounds between the married and the single members of the club. Score of yesterday's game: R. W. TAYLOR'S SIDE.

The lovers of this beautiful pastime will not be content now until Mr. Parmelee wrests the championship of America from its present holder, J. A. R.

PICTON WILL RACE NO MORE Benator Stanford’s Derby Oandidate Dies of a Oold at Oounoil Bluffs, OTHERS OF THE STRING OUT OF HEALTH of Climate Proves Too Much for the Detleately Bred Horses from the Const—Results on Track and Dinmond Yesterday. There has been something like $100,000 worth of thoroughbred* foreign horse flesh quartered at Mace Wise's stables in Coun- cil” Bluffs since Tuesday. Senator Stanford's string of runners from the famous Palo Alto southern Califorma stock farm are among the lot, and a finer string of beautiful animals was never seen in this section of the country. Along with the serator's stable is that of Jockey Mike Kelly, which runs up into the thousands, so far as the presumed value of the stock goes. These horses were enroute from 'Frisco to Chicago and are destined for the Washing- ton park races, several of them being derby candidates. The stop-over here was occa- sioned by the unfavorable condition of the horses, all of which had contracted colds in transit by reason of poorly ventilated cars and other deficiencies. The entire stablo since its arrival here has been under the charge of Dr. Ramaciotti, the local veterinary surgeon who has brought his patients around all right with the exception of the celebra- ted Picton, a 8-year old sorrel, by Sirius who gave up the ghost Friaay night from a complicated case of congestion of the bowels, With the death of Picton Senator Stand- ford let go of a cool $25,000, which sum he refused for the colt last March. Picton was an American Derby candidate with a chance. He was a strong, handsome fellow and the g:ide of Palo Aito’s ruaning stock. He had en started twice, both times at the Bay district track in 'Frisco. In the first race, a mile and a furlong, he ran_third to Cadmus, another star in the Stanford string, which was made in 1:56}¢. He won his second start, a mile dash, in the fine time of 1:433{ and was considsred an exceedingly promis- ing racer. In addition to the Derby, Picton was cntered in several other prominent stakes on the different eastern courses. Cademus Coming Along. Cadmus, who was with the gang oo the start from °'Frisco, fell a victim to the change of climate early on the journey, and some ten days ago was left at Winnemucea, Nov. Stanford’s private veterinary was summoned from 'Frisco and a telegram to Trainer Covington aunounces that the will join the stable at the Bluffs ¥ 6 year-old, by Bishop out the pickof thelut. He vorld’s record for a mil 3015, made ut Washington park. Chicago, in_ 1500 This record is on a regulation track. Racine is as magnificenta specimen of the running horse as is owned in America today. Fidelia, a 3-year-old by Flood out of Flint, is another grand one, as is Flirtation by Wild Idle out of Flirt. In Jockey Kelly’s string is Don Fulano, a derby candidate. Donis by Alto, and is a 3-year-old. Heis a brown horse of great size and beauty St. Croix, a 4-year-old by King Daniels, is another superlatively good one, having won seven out of nine races run at the Bay this year, Tigress, bay filly, B8-year-old, by the Prince of Norfolk, is another cuckoo, on whom Mr. Kelly sets great store. Both stables are now doing famously well and will be in perfect condition, it is hoped, within the next week, when their journey eastward will be resumed. Most of them have had colds and been coughing a great deal, accompanied by considerable fever. Tigress is the only one yet in a high condi- tion, but Mr. Kelly nas every reliance in Dr. Ramaciotti's attendance and 1s confident that she will round to ina oay or so. Kelley's derby candidate, Don Fulano, has boeen re- stored to his normal condition and is looking out of sight. He's @ Rider Himselt. By the way, Mike Kelly, the proprietor of these horses, is a light welght jock of exten- sive reputation. He has ridden wins on both sides of the pond, and in several events beat out such celebrities as Garrison, Mur- phy. Taral, Doggett and other cracks of the whip und 'spur. He is a young man, prob- ably past 25, and has amassed o fortune by his achievements in the saddle. His partner, Pete Clarke, a 'Frisco sport of no little prom- inence, is an old friend of the sporting ed- itor’s, and together the two have watched many & great gallop and pressed against the ropes at many a mill. Tom W ms, who is managirg the Stan- ford stables, and whois a son of General Williams, the renowned California turfman, was here Thursd He went over to the Bluffs, examined the horses, and gave Cov- ington orders to keep them here until all were in good form again. An idea can be obtained of just what at- tention a stable of valuable bangtails require by the statement that there are no iess than nine men in charge of these horses. With Stanford's gang is Trainer George Coving- ton and rubbers and hustlers Frank Brown, Nick Harris, George Thomas, Pat Havey and Tim Morris; with Kelley's, Manager Pete Clarke, J. D, Dunn and jocks Bobby Kinney and *Moose” Taylor. &l SULTS. Ratn Spolls the Program at Latonla, Grave- send and St. Louls, Cr: varr, O., May 27.—A lowering sky did not prevent the largest crowd since the opening day attending the races as Latonia. Rain fell just before the stake racing, making the going worse than 1t had been, as the time shows.

The city council committes appointed to investigate the charges preforrod against C. V. Mos, the clerk-olect of the police court, has porformed part of its duty, adjourning until the evening of June 5. Some of its work was porformed last night, the commit- teo sitting uutil midnight. When the in- vestigation was over it developed that the whole trouble grew out of a personal dif- culty which existed betweon Mos, C. M. noider and the Riley brothers. Andrew Riloy was the first of the wit- nosses to testify. “How long was Mr. Mos in your employ?" asked Councilman wWheeler, who posed as tho interrogator. “About six months,” answered the witness. “Why did he leaye your employ?” “Be- causo he was short in his accounts.” The witness drew from his_pocket a small pass book in which he had noted sums of money which customers had paid Mr. Mos objected to the wit s reading from the small book, saying that tho cash book would be better ovidence. Major Wheeler stated that Riley's book- keeper was present and that he would cor- roberato Riley's testimony. However. it was decided that the original books would have to come nto tho investigation. Riley was sent after them, and while he was ab- sent E. C. Weed, the shippmg clerk for Riley Bros.. slipped into the witness box. Had Suspicions of Mos. “Did you collect money and turn over to Mos while he was a_ bookkeeper for the Rileys?" asked Major Wheeler. *Yes, sir; on April 11, 1898, I took in $0 and turned it over to Mos. We had suspicions that Mos was not just right and we kept tab on him." “Did he have charge of the money drawer?" asked Mr. Howell. *‘He was re- spousible for it and no person had access to the money except Mos and those who had a right to it.” Do you know if Mos and each of the Rileys had a key to the money drawer?” asked Mr. Munro. ‘‘The drawer was not locked. " “Do’ you know how mueh monoy Mos turned over to Riley?” *T don't know, as I had nothing to do with the cash." “1 wish you would tell me how you knew the goods left the house’" suggested Mr. Mos. *You must take me for a big lubber," answered Mr. Weed, Do you claim that you turned the money over tome?” “I turned it into the office.” *‘Did you hand the money to me?" “*When- ever you were there." ““Who told you to keep tab on me?” “An- drew Riley." What Schnetder Claims, C. M. Schueider was then called into the X. “*Were you & member of the firm of-C. M. Schneider & Co. of this city?" asked Mr, Munro. “‘Yes, sir; I was president of that concern.’ *‘Did you know Mr. Mos?” “He was with us for about a one year as seerctary of the company ; he kept the books and made col- lections; he was not a partner, nor did he own any stock.” ‘‘While he was with you did straight?” T always though was two-faced ; everything pert: settling the business of C. M. Co. was conducted by Mr. Mos." *‘Can you cite any time when Mr, Mos did not do right?” “I was told time and again that his looks would kill him: after we settled up the business I took Mr. Mos withme to New York, and down there they toid me that Mos had thief stamped on his face. What I claim is that Mos owes 3100 money for which 1 was bonded at the Commercial National bank. The bank bought the goods and put me in possession to close out. They wanted a 10,000 bond, which I gave. Mr. Mos took in the cash and charged ‘Surplus accounz in hands of Mos,’ and the only thing that shows that it was made to balance the account.” Never Trled to Collect. “Did you pay Mr. Mos a salary?’ “Yes, sie.” u find him though he ing to tho chneider & “Did you ever tryto collect this $1002" No, sir; what was the use?’ “Tf he put the account on the book, he certainly acknowledges that he owes the amount.” suggested Mr. McLearie. “Do you know of anything else that was crooked?” asked Mr. Munro. “One day Mos came to me and asked me to sign o 8900 note over to him. Taid and about & month ago the parties who owed the claim wrote that they would pay 25 cents on the dollar.” “The note was out then for collection asked Mr. Howell. “I don't know, but if [ had not collected the money, I don't think 1 would have got a cent."” ‘“You and Mr. Mos are not good friends’ “No, sir, Lam not his friend; I picked him up and threw him out of doors, ana I can do 80 again,” answered Mr. Schneider, exhibit- ing considerable passion. “After you found out that I left you, did younot go and see Andrew Ril “Lgo in there about every day and get a drink,” answered Mr. Schneider.

He testified that Mos haa hecn favorable to the castern creditors of the company and always scemed honest. “What were my instructions with rogard to the $000 note of Hoskyns Bros., payable to Schneider?” asked Mr. Mos. *The proceeds were to be turned over to the creditors.” ““Are the affaics of the Schneidor company unsettled?” *Yes, sir; thoy are." Deputy Sheriff Lewis testified that the books of Schneider & Co. were turned over to him by Williams & Williams; had _found no fraudulent entries in the books.

Regarding the Riley matter I know nothing; both brothers had a key to the safe; they had access to the cash drawer and if they wanted to take out money they did so; what amount of money there was i the dra I took out and credited to Riley. Were you ever asked by oneof the Rilay to doctor the books whi employ nd were dischargea because you refused?” asked Mr. Howell “Yes, sir; that is true, and T was asked by Andrew Riley to muke false entries in the books.” Riley of Riley Bros. testified tha all of the brothers had access to the cash drawer, which was presided over by Mos. Sometimos one would make chauge and sometimes another. Why the Bank Desired the Bond. “You have never been relieved from this bond, holding you responsible for the pro- ceeds of the Schneider goods, have you, Mr. Mos?” asked Mr. Wheeler. “No, sir: I have not,” answered Mr. Mos. . “Why was this agreement made?’ “Be. cause the bank had an elephant on their hands, and wanted Mr. W. Taylor and my- self to help get rid of the stock.” Andrew Riley denied that he had ever wanted any person to make any false entries on the firm books. Schueider said that when tho Com- 1 1 National bank enforced a preferred judgment for $21,000, it was vnderstood that he and Mos were to go east and settle the $34,000 as best they could. Both made the trip, but the settlement was not made. While in New York, Mos said that what was left after paying the bank belonged to him as much as to any of the other members of the compan, “You started in to attack this man's char- acter, did yqu not?" asked Mr. Mecleagic. “I don’t believe tha v one will' think n I went into busi- worth $25,000 and when I got out howed §14,000, and this man kept answered Mr. Mos. 118 not worth a dollar,” said the books, “That m Schueider, pointing to Mos.
