2 ONTONIAN'S FASTEST MILE ¥e Oovers the Distanoo at the Everott Kite in 2:07 1-2, FAST TIME MADE IN EACH EVENT Weack and Horses in Good Shape-Gran. mont Dies After n Gamo Finish—Field. mont’s Backers Treated to a De- elded Surprise Party. £ Lyoxs, Neb., Aug. 18.—[Special Telegram Yo Tnw Her.|—For a time this morning it Josked very much as if the Lyons races would adjourn sine die. The morning broko ‘bright atd bedutiful, und the big erowd of auxious horsemen were congratulating them- sclves on tho prospect of being able to finish the meeting under favorable auspices. A Jarge crowd assembled at tho park as early s 8 0'clock to seo the horses worked out and 1o secure good seats from which to view tho @ounle bill the management resolved to give for a singlo admission. The track was probably fastor than it has ever been sinde 1iis comstruction About 9 g'clock the assembled hosts were filled with eonsternation by the sudden ap- pearance of a bank of threatening clouds along tho northwestern horizon and the gon- eral vordict was that the races would again have to be declared oft. By 10 o'clock tho sky was entirely overcast, and the rain bogan to fall in the shape of a disagreeabls, nusty drizzle. To the surpriso of overy one, however, it clearod away as quickly as it had clouded up, the entire mass of water- soaked vapor swoeping off to south as be- fore a magician's wand. The uamago to the triick, howaver, by this briof rainfall was very ‘matorial, rendering it at least four seconds slow, but after the first heat, with the assistonce of the sun, it was in fair con- dition aud getting better with each hoof beat. The judges today were: W. D.Smith, Lyons; M. W. Caldwell, Dunlap. In.;J. M. Melntosh, Mariotta, Ga. Timers: 'W. J. Fritz, Lyons; B. Manlsey, North Platte.

THE_OMAHA DEFEATS DENISE By Winnine from Lacey and Geisthardt, the Youngster Lands in the Final. AUST WELL WORTHY OF CULLINGHAM'S RACKET Yesterday's Tonnis Fall of Protty Plays and Diicult Work—Austin Furnishes the surprise Again—How the Score Now Stands. From carly yosterday morning until 0 o'clock &t night, with the exception of a brief interval at midday, there was at least one first-class match in progress on the courts of the Omaha Tennis club. Only eight matches and ono outstanding set in an- other were played, but of these there were at least five which no one would lave re- grotted watching. At no timo, though, was there a larger crowd present than there has been on provious days when the play has beenof a far inferior standard. The best matches of the day were decided dur- ing the morning, which was unfortunate, but there was plenty of entertainment pro- vided for those who braved the hot rays of the afternoon sun. At nightfall on Thursday two matches were still unplayed that were keeping back Dboth the singles and the doubles. J. S. Brown had not started on his doublos and had played off only ono round of his singlos. To malke up for lost time, therolore, Brow, started in at 8 o'clock yosterday morning and played a four-sot mateh, with. McKell, agamst Tilden and Clark. . Haviog got through this successfully the pair went on at once to the next round whero they were knocked out by Hart and Cookson. Austin Outplays Gelgthardt. In tho meantime Cullingham and Battin had won without dificulty the oneset they, wanted from Murray and Johnson to give them the match, and a couple of unusually interesting singles had also been decided. Firstly, young Austin, whose dofeat of Young on Thursday created such surprise, fol- lowed up his achievement by a still greater. Geisthardt had been looked upon as the only man able to got through to play Cullingham for the championship, Still he ad boen very erratic throughout the woel, and there were those who were willing to concede that Austin had a chance of putting him out. At best it was consideroi only a chance, but when the two met yes- terday morning Austin carried all beforo im, winning with_increasing ease as the game proceeded. _Geisthardt never showed any of his trug form throughout the match or ho could not but have captured more than six games in the match. Shepherd Puts Out Caldwell, Caldwell, whoso success over Hart was al- most as unexpected as Ausin's over Young, started in quite early in the semi-final against Shepherd. And for a time 1t looked s if he would do with oneof the Lincoln ks as Austin had done with the other. But it was not to be. The first set was a struggle from start to finish, but Shepherd ultimately captured 1t on the eightecuth game. Neither of tho men had missed a chance. Caldwe'l put all the force he could into his balis, and as long as he could keen s opponent at the back of vhe court he had things much his own way. But Shopherd soon found this out ond made overy effort to getup to the net.so as to volley the balls before they began to drop. They all crossed within a few s of the net band, and this made it_ very dificult to volley them ef- foctively. But by holding his racket firm in his hand and allowing just a little “give” as tne ball struck he managed to getthe re- turn inside tho service line,too near the net for Caldwell to reach it ‘Tnen Caldwell got onto this and tried to follow the ball to the net,soas to volley these short returns. This was exactly what Shepherd wanted. 1t gave him the oppor- tunity o playing his own game and winning, Every time that aldwell got up Shepherd passed him on one side or tne other, for if Shepherd can do anything well he can place his balls whero he wants them. Clever Contest In Doubles. Soon after 11 an excellent doubles game was started between Young and Denise and the Lincoln pair, Geistharat and Shepherd. The play was not of unusual brillisncy, but there were many pretty strokes, and therc was scjence iu nearly every ball. ' Young and Denise played well into each other's hands, especially when it is considered that they have had little practice together. With the reputation they hold 1n the state it was fully expected that the Lincoln men would atleast make a good fight and probably capture one or two sets. At the outset the play was very cven on both sides and these anticipations seemed to be proving correct, but when the score had reached three-games-all Gelsthardt and Shepherd fell off. Denise won a love game from his service and the next two games, each of which reached deuce twice, ended the set in the Omaha boys' favor. In the second set Geisthardt and Shepherd made a littie better fight, isthardt especially getting in some of his own peculiar cross swrokes, which won hun many a valuable ace. The rallies throughout the set were longer, but the play still lacked that strength and energy that characterized most of the matches of the day. The Lincoln men aid not seem abie to put any force to their play and Young and Denise did not need to. The thira set opened out differ- ently. Geisthardt served first and won an easy gawe. Young captured his service after a long struggle and then for a time both Young and Denise fell to picces. Several doubtful decisions being given against them rattled them and they allowed their opponents to get up to 42 before they pulled themselves together again, At the beginning of the next game Young returned an “impossiblo” ball, and this seemed to give them renewed confidence, for they ran out from this point, wioning four straight games. Denlse Done For In Singles. In the afternoon Denise led off the program with one of the shortest and easiest matches of the whole tournament. His opponent was J. S. Brown, and he disposed of bim in four- teen games. As soon as this was over ho started in against Austin in the semi-final. This contest was expected to ba a very:close one, though Deniss had predicted his own defeat. Austin started with the sun behind him, and as events turned out this proved his salvation. He started out at a very rushing pace, and lost but four points in throe games, Nothing that Denise could do was any use. Every ball he hit was revurned with interest. When he had the ice the sun was in his oyes, and the sun was 80 hot that 1t made play dificult any- way. Austin slacked a livtle in the fourth rame and lest is, but immwediately picked up 4giin und won the next three, like the first two, with only four points scored against him. This gave him the set, with twenty- five poiuts to Deniso’s fourteen. Then they changed courts, and Austin had the sun to contend with, The very first ball he lobbed too fur and, though the umpire gave itas “in,” he reversed his decision upon the ap- peal of both the players. Lenise played an energetic game, and won a love sel, with only ten points scored against him. Sun Saved Austin. Each man now had a set, and with the sun as powerful a factor as it was, the rule of changing ends fafter overy odd game should have been followed. Instead of this, 1t was agreed to change after every third game only, and as Denise had the sun for the first three games, he was the loser by the agree- ment, He made a good fight for thesa first three ga.aes, but lost them all, and not only this, but he lost the next game in which he His chance of winning now was very small, but he kept up the fight and captured two love games. Then crossing over again he got o3 when Austin was b, but Austin then had thie service, and with the sun behind him he got & love game which gave him the match. In the three sets Austin won twelve games to ten and sixty-three points to sixty- two, & bare majority of one. Denlse scored two games and twenty-eight points with the sun {u Lis oyes, and Austin only one game and fourteen poiuts. With the sun behind him Austin played three games more than Denise and won three more, his record on the good side of the nel being eleven games and forty-nine points and Denise eigh’ games sod thirty- DAILY BHEY SATURDAY, four points bewter against an_and almost as well with it. If conaitions had beon aqual it is at least probable ho would have won: that is. unless Austin had something up his siceve Which ho did nél fow. What Cf)lipgham Most ¥y But Austin won_ a square fight, and as Shepherd scratehed to him in order that he might get hometast night, will today have the honor of Y\nflhm Cullingham for the championship. Against Denise he showed that he know how to hit the ball s0 as *ilb win. No player n withstand aseovtinual volley of hard ves, driven at, him or alternately to one e and the other, and Austin adds to this the very valuaBlé ficuity of getting a good hold of nearly everything that comes to him. With better judgment and a little more head- work in his play he would be a vory formid- able opponent for any man in the s win at tennis nowadays & man must be able to accommodate himself to circumstances. He must know how to play every ball that is sont to nim as woll s o ablo to pisy it, and also he must save his strength for the time when he most needs it, Struggle of the Champlons. There was another match yesterday which attracted considerable atteation, and it was a good game and hard fought, too. 1t was in the semi-fluals of the double Cookson and Hart mot the champions, lingham and Battin, with some hope, not altogether unfounded, of being able w0 defeat them. The first set was very hotly contested, and it took eighteen games to decide it. Cookson was playing as vigorously as on any day of the tournament, butithe sun was too hot for very euergetic playing, and his work soon began to tell on him. Hart was cool and collected through- out and played a steady game. But it was Cullingham that won thomatch, Whenover ho gov hold of tho ball he put it where it was loast likely to be sont back to him, and s Cookson und Hart both havea good reach, there were plenty of excellent rallics, but Cullingham generally had the best of them when he once got in, and but for a temporary falling off in the third set he was all thero all tho time. Battin did good service from the back of the court in returning Cookson's smashes, but that is unsatisfactory kind of play and ho had little chance of scoring. Concluding Games, As the resultof the day’'s work nothing now remains to be decided but the final of the doubles and the championship round of the singles. In order that everybody may have an opportunity of watching both these games it bas been decided to play the singles today and the doubles on Monday, 5 o'clock sharp being the time for the beginning of each contest. After his performances of the last fow days, Austin is expected to vlay Cullingham a good no one has yet_been bold cnough to p a vietory for him.

There is every; jwomise of a more than usually interesting match out at the cricket ground on T'wenty-tirst and Emmet streets this afternoon. Mr. George Vaughan has chosen an eleven from the members of the club with which he will oppbse a twenty-two captained by Mr. Hilditch, manager of the Barker hotel, and also president of the ericket club, The next cricket club supper will be on September 10 at the Barker hotel. It is in- tended to ]me\n up these reunions throughout the winter, with the object of holaing the cricketers Logether until next season, when it is hoped to form a stronger organization, from a cricketing standpoint, than the pres’ eat one. Efforts are being made to arrange one or two matches with clubs of other cities to be fl;-ysd during the fall. Chicago and St. uis are both being negotiated with, but the matter of distance is & great obstacle and it is feared that the plans will fall to the ground. n&M’n thus did considerably s AUGUST 19, TWO BLOODY BOUTS AT CONEY Bmall Orowd Watches a Pair of One-Sided Knookouts, PAT CAHILL LASTED THREE ROUNDS Tim Sallivan Licked Him from the Start in the Most Approved Style —Stove O'Donnell Butehers John Cate tenach in Four Rounds. Coxey Istasn Armnreric CLus, 'Aug. 18, Fewer peoplo were present tonight at the club house to see the pugilistic bouts than has been tho case at any previous time since the club opened. Not moro than 8,000 spectators woro prosent. Pat Cahill of Jersoy City and Tim Sullivan ‘were o open the show for $1,000—£200 to the loser. P, J. Donahuo was tho reforee. Soon after 0 p. m. the men put up their fists. In the first round nothing was dono and both rotired at oven honors. In the second Sullivan belted Cahill's jaw till hus teeth rattled, and when they came up for the third round Sullivan started at Cahill with a rush and swung his left, catching Cahill on the nock. They clinched and wero soparated. A moment later thay clinched again, and just after the break Sul- livan rushed at the Jorseyite, planting his left in his stomach, making one of the clean- est knockouts ever seen in the elub. Cahill fell with a heavy thud, and nevera muscle moved until he was catried to his corner. It took five minutes to rovive him. Here's Where the Fun Came In, The bout of the evening between John Cattenach of Providence and Steve O'Don- nell of Australia was for twenty rounds and more, for a purso of §2.500, of which the loser got $500. This contest was refercod by John Kckhardt, the club's official referoe. Round -1—Cattenach led, but foll short and got & light eounter on the face. Cat- tenach landed a good_left on the mouth, and then closed into stift work and for twonty seconds there was the hardest kind of infighting. Both men did some very ef- fective work. Round 2—Cattenach kept his man at long range and in doing so kept himself at great advantage. He kopt leading straight left- houded jabs with good effect. O'Donnell is o strong infighter and his _blows at long range were not so effective as his oppouent's. But he kept jabbing away with his left and set the house 1n an uproar by his clever tactics. Round 3—Cattenach profited by the first round and did not allow himself to get too closo. O'Donnell showed some great worke in this round and the suyle in which ho landed lefts on tho Providence man's face made him look like a winner. Equivalent to Butchery, Round 4—Both men came up smiling. O'Donnell landed lightly with his left, C: tenach led for the wind and missed. The men fought all around the ring, O’Donnell landing when ho pleased. Both were now very weak, but O'Donnell sent his man down several times and kept pounding him all over the ring, while tho blood flowed in streams down Cattenach’s breast. He was boaten and it was a pitiful sight to see him staggoring about undor the punish- ment. Referee Eckhardt attempet sto stop it,cbut just as ho pulled O'Donnell aw attenach broke past him and veral blows. O'Donnell then went at him like an infurated bull and landed many vicious blows. It was only the gong that saved Cattenach from a knockout. He was carried to his corner and the battle broughu toa close by Jimmy Carrol throwing up the sponge. Cattenach is a much worse uscd- than was thought. 1t was found necessary to call a doctor todo considerable lancing and fixing up about his mouth nose, which werc in a frightfully battered state. A deep gash was cut over his left eye, and a lump as big as an egg raised on his check. He was one of the worst used-up men cver seen here. After the O'Donucll-Cattenach bout a host of admirers of Dan Creedon and Bob itzsimmons gathered in the ring, and after some spirited tall a bet was made or offered at odds of $000 to $1,000 that Creedon would lick Fitzsimmons. After arguing for somo time Fitzsimmons left in disgust for the dressing room to see O'Donnell. ‘ WITH THE AMATEURS, Springfield Drops o HMard Convontions.

According to Shepard's story his assailant and two other men came hero together and all have enjoved his hospitality to a more pr less extent since thoirarrival. Last night when he had occasion to enter his barn he noticed Haley stauding noar the door, but without paving any attention passed by him. Suddenly hie was struck in the back of the head by a pieco of lead about four inches long and ono and ahalf inches thick, to ich a leather string had been attached. This was quickly followod by another blow which stunned fim. Still another one folled him to the floor, but in_some way he man- aged to olude the clutehes of the nssailant and staggered to his house, a short distance away. Followed Ilis Vietim Home. A messenger was dispatehed by him to Mr. Frank Galiup of the Arlington hotel and the latter, upon his arrival, went for a doc- tor. Tt is said that Haloy tollowed Shepard to his house, and with the dangerous weapon still in his hand, applied tho following lan- guage to bis bleeding victim: *You - -—, if you have me arrested Tl murder you” Shepard had to plead with Haloy to savo his life in order to gain time for the re- appearance of Mr. Gallup, who, when he re- alled Ofticer Drummy to arrest “This proved to be no easy job, as the lattor fought like o tiger, and only with outside assistance could Hley be' 10d to the patrol hox.
