Bloux City, 9; Toledo, b You would never have b 1 that the wine gingery and athletic young colts who wore Omala uniforms out at the ball park yesterday were the same identical hired bands that sneaked home through the back streets just twenty-four hours before smart- ing under the most crushing defeat that has been inflicted on the home grounds this year. But they were, and just how Father Willlam managed to inject so much elixir of life into his hired men during the briet fnterval while Old Sol was washing his hands n the China seas is a mystery that will never be solved In this world. But never mind how It was done. Tt is enough to know that the team put up a gllt-edged article of ball all around, and the cranks enjoyed one of the most gingery and interesting contests that has been seen tere this year. True, the score mounted up Into the double figures, but it was by reason of good, clean hitting, and the few errors that were made were mostly of the ex- cusable variety. A noticeable exception to this was Munyun's wretched mufft of an easily thrown ball, which cost a couple of runs and gave the fans a huge disgust. Langford, the new acquisition, made his initfal appearance and held down the third bag, while Papa took his favorite cushion on the bench. The new man played a mag- nificent game, winning the good will of the crowd from the start. He perpetrated a beautiful double in the fourth inning by eat- ing up Traffley’s hot ground hit, calching McVicker at third, and then recovering in time to shut off the runner at first. In the ninth, too, he made a running pick-up and throw of an apparently safe hit from Jones' bat that was good enough to paste in your serap book. The history of the game constitutes the same story that has been repeated here so many times this season. Thel home team allowed the visitors to get just far enough ahead so that they had already added it to their list of victories, and then just natur- ally went in and lambasted the life out of Mr. Burrell and pulled the plum right out of the fire. The crowd liked it, too, and vented their appreciation in a prolonged chorus of congratulation, which was in de- clded contrast to the lugubrious howls which went out when the pets were being trampled into the mud the day before. ‘We started the trouble by scoring once in the first inning on Moran’s safe hit, which was followed by a base on balls, an out and Munyun's two-bagger. The Philistines went us ono better and counted twice, and after we had drawn a goose egg they repeated the peformance. Three more bases on balls and hits by Fear and Boyle tied the score in the fourtH, but the Iowa aggregation came right back at us again with three more. Each team scored three times In the fifth and when the seventh arrived the score was ten to_eight against us. But right here the Omahogs unwrapped a bundle of hits that fairly made Mr. Burrell have eplleptic fits. Seery opened up with a three-bagger, Moran corked out a single and McVey and Fear followed with a couple of sacks apiece. Then Munyun smashed a nice drop over the fence for four of them, and after McVicker had garnered Pedroes' fly Langford, Boyle and Whitehill all hit safely. Seery drew a base on balls, but the next two men were flelded out and the side re- tired with five runs ahead. The visitors scored once more when Mc- Vicker knocked the ball over the barn for & home run, but Whitehill let out a peg and mowed them down like so many blades of grass in the path of a Kansas cyclone. ore: L OMAHA.

For nine rounds the ad- vantage inclined now to O'Drien and then to Wa he fighting being of a cyelone nature. From the ninth to the eleverith rounds O'Brien, though gamely responding, gradually grew weaker, though at times he set the and punished Walcott up- mercifully. ~The twelfth round ended the story, when, after recelving two blows on the jaw and neck, O'Brien feebly attempted a réturn, but feil exhausted to the floor.

Blow Up Mino Bulldings and Roll Huge Boulders Down thé Mountajns. WARDNER, Idgho, July 7.—The Coeur @’Alene miners have broken out again. The hills are full of rioting miners and the town is paralyzed. Business is suspended and the sherift is organizing a posse to de- fend the mines. At 1:30 o'clock this morn- Ing a tremendous explosion shook the town. It was followed by a chorus of derisive yells. When daylight came it was discovered that an attempt had been made to blow up tho power house and electric light plant of the Buker Hill and Sulllvan mines. Sticks of dynamite had been shoved under the build- ing and exploded. The explosion was suffi- cient to wreck the plant completely, althaugh a large part of the building was left stand- ing. The hills above the power house are full of rioters, who make no attempt to at- tack the town, but have spent the whole morning rolling rocks down the steep moun- tain side on the power house and mine buildings. Huge boulders, heavy masses of slag and big logs have been bounding down the slope all day, crushing everything be- fore them. The sheriff is now swearing in citizens as deputies, and if a sufficlent forco is secured he will probably attempt to clear the hills. The governor has been notified and will probably order out the militia. Many people are leaving town. It is feared attempts will be made tonight to burn or blow up other buildings. Idaho Miners Causing Troublo. BOISE, Idaho, July 7.—Governor McCon- nel today received word that part of the works of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines at Wardner had been blown up. Sherift Cameron wired that he was unable to protect the property, and the governor thereupen offered a reward of $1,000 for the perpetrators of the dynamite outrage, $1,000 for the men who murdered Kneebone at Gem a few days ago and $1,000 for the ar- rest of any person engaged in other out- rages in the Coeur d'Alene. He also wired the president asking that troops be sent into the district. —— Visit Courtland beach Sunday. el POSTPONED THE CONVENTION. Republican State Meeting Will Untll July 25.

NEBRASKA OUT FOR SPEED Semr What the Robbie P:Klix Racs at Union Park Demonstrates, p—— BIG CROWDS FOR GOOD EVENTS ASSURED e Lovers of Turf Sports In This Vielnity Want None but'the Test Raclng and Wil Bar Plow Horse Contests. The most important event in racing cir- cles during the past week has been the meeting between Morris Jones' little mare, Alix, and Ed Pyle's stallion, Robble P. This meeting was arranged at the eonclu- sion of Clinton Briggs' Blue Ribhon races in the latter part of June. Alix has a record of 2:07% and Robbie has a record of 2:13, but competent judges belleve that he can cover a regulation course in less than 2:10. Dur- ing the Blue Ribbon meeting both of these horses attracted considerable attention and Robbie P was showing some wonderful bursts of speed in his training heats. The merits of the horses were 80 thoroughly discussed by their admirers that the owners were prevailed upon to let them go for the gate receipts on July 4. The mere an- nouncement of the match was sufficient to bring out a big crowd to Union park and they were repaid by seeing a good four-heat race. Owing to recent rains the track was in poor condition, and from five to seven seconds slow. However, the horses were started and the track at the scratch was 80 soft that Alix was nearly thrown and broke badly just after recelving the word. She did not recover until Robbie P was seventy-five yards ahead of her and then the game little mare set out to close up the gap. She was less than a halt a length behind as they passed under the wird, although Pyle had driven Robbie P to the finish. The time was slow, 2:17, for either horse, but was good considering the track. Although it was a race for gate receipts, it was evident that Robble P's owner was trying to land the big efid of it, and he did have some ad- vantage, as Robbie P is an exceptionally strong horse, as game as they make them and as ambitious as he is game. In the second heat the beautiful Alix took the lead, and although Pyle drove his horse oft his feet he could not head her, and they finished {n 2:15. Alix took the next heat in 2:14, and then Jones claimed the race on the grounds that it was a three-heat event instead of five. Pyle insisted on five heats, and was sustained by the judges. Jones obfected on the ground that Alix had not been fitted for racing yet and because of the deplorable condition of the track. The mare is the very apple of his eye, and he would not injure her for half of the state of lowa. He finally agreed to start Alix again in answer to the demands - of the crowd. But he was somewhat hot and told Pyle that he would set the pace and not let him get any closer than he wanted him to. The start was'made, and Alix set out on that smooth, deceptive gait of her's which fools so many people, and although Robble P made a game. fight and finish he could not gain on; the mare, and hardly made a good pacemaker for her. But when it is considered that there are five and one- fourth seconds difference between their records it must be admitted that Robble P made a good race, and Is capable of making the best af the trotters hustle to show .him a clean pair of heels. The best time made in this race was 2:14, but the half mile was traveled In this heat in 1:05%. . This race demonstrated that the lovers of turf sports in this vicinity want nome but the best of racing, and no contests be- tween plow horses goi In order to fill in the heats of the principal race a field of 2:40 trotters was started. Two heats wero made In 2:47 and 2:471%, and then the crowd began guying the drivers and every- one else connected with the race, shouting derisively every time they scored. The rea- son of this was that there was a good deal of false pretending in announcing this so- called meeting. The people had been led to believe that they were to witness a first-class card of racing, Instead of only the match between Alix and Robbie P. It is admitted that these two alone would have drawn just as big a crowd and then no one would have been disappointed with the other races. And another thing the managers of Union park should see to, that is the score card privilege. The card that is palmed off on the public is an abomination and contains many inexcusable mistakes. And the card is not up to date at all, the names of the drivers being entirely omitted. As these cards cost about $7.50 to $8 per thousand and are sold for $100, which Is clear profit, the advertising paying for the first cost, it secems that the patrons should get better treatment from this source. ey There is some little talk of arranging a fall meeting of harness races at Union park. Such a meeting could undoubtedly be made a financial success and if held late enough all the crack trotters and pacers in the west, which are now campaigning on eastern tracks, could be induced to stop over for the meeting on their way home for the winter season. But it is just as well to warn the projectors now that they will make a failure and suffer a financial loss, besides injuring the reputation of the track, unless they ar- range a strictly first class meeting and do not attempt to palm off a lot of old skates and skins on the public as thoroughbreds, It has been demonstrated that good trotfing and pacing races will be liberally patronized here, but track patrons draw the line on hippodromes. o Charley Williams, the man who gave Axtell and Allerton to the trotting world and who has enjoyed a meteoric carcer as a horseman, has about finished his new track at Galesburg, Il He held a small meeting at the new course on July 4, and had the satisfaction of drawing a blg crowd. If Omaha had have “legged” a little harder Williams might have been induced to come here and recuperate his fortune. Whatever faults Willlams may have, he is still the most remarkable turfman in the country, and when he guarantees a purse horsemen know that they will get thefr money. Al- though he made a fortune out of Axtell and Allerton he lost it, as many a wiser man has done, by trying to accomplish an impossibility. William tried to build up a real city in Towa. o The Nebraska race meetings scheduled for this season are as follos Friend, August 7-9; Edgar, August’14-16; Superior, August 21-23; Nelson, August Omaha, Sop- tember 3-8; Geneva, September 4-6; Lincoln, September 10-14; Schuyler, September, 19- Syracuse, September 25-28. pOR A gentleman who, re Callfornia says that he English racing stallion stables near Los Auggles horse in fine conditfol), pride of California , turfmen, his get which wefe dropped look very promising Nearly all of th famous California stables are being im- proved by new l)qu\l,{;l”\l the horsemen are ) itly returned from visited the great Ormonde in his and found the Ormonde 15 the and some of this season picking up the best,of, gastern horse: Maxim, by Musko,.ihe famous New Zea- land racer, died at, el Paso's ranch, near Sacramento one day last week.

This horse was imported from New Zealand six years ago at a price of $21,000 and he has sired many promising youngsters, who may be heard from in a few seasons. P The lovers of harness racing hear very lit- tle about kite-shaped tracks and phenom- enal records nowadays. Like any other fad it has died a natural death, and horsemen are turning their attention to the best meth- ods for improving regular oval courses. Among the new innovations adopted this sea- son 1s the electric distance and wire flags for timers, which are operated by the oficial starter; and the elevated watch towers at the time posts, n which the flagmen are locked until the races are over. These men are in communication with the judges' stand by telephone, and they immediately report any foul driving or any other crooked work on the course. The horses are called to the score by a system of eleotrio call bells and the work of the starter is said to be greatly facilitated, e Will the trotting and pacing records made Tast year be broken this season? is a leading question among horsemen. It 8 also pre- dicted that the two-minute mark will be hit by some of the speedy nags. Flying Jib has made a halt mile spurt already in 1:01%, and it |s confidently predicted that he can o that distance a second and a half faste Online has shown several quarters in 0:28, and after being driven a couple of warming up miles at Union park the other day, he stepped the distance from the three-quarters peg under the wire in 0:28 flat. Jones says Alix can and will lower her last year's record (2:07%) fully four seconds, and only Mr. Jones knows what this wonderful little mare can do. No reports have been received yet about the work of Directum, Sunol, Saladin, Nancy Hanks, Martha Wilkes, or Mascot, while Guy and Manager might be considered in the list of “phencms”’ The pneumatic tire seems to have made a 2-min- ute gait a possibility, and some of the record makers will only have to go four seconds faster to accomplish the feat. Fidol s reported to be working quarters in 0:81. Prima Donna, Colonel W. L. Sim- mons’ sensational (2:09%) pacer, i3 making some fast miles on the eastern tracks. Fly- ing Jib is recorded with forty-elght racing heats in less than 2:25, his slowest winning heat being 2:25%, which was in his first race, and took place at Grand Rapids, Mich. July 5, 1892, He won $13,700 in purses, and paced thirty-six heats in standard time dur ing his first year on the turf. In 1893 he could not be conditioned until the close of the campaign season, but under these adverse conditions this swift animal paced twelve heats below 2:15 and six be- low 2:10, winding up by making his record of 2:04. He is fit to go this year and Andy McDowell_ will make the effort of his life to drive Jib under the string in two min- utes flat.

NEW YORK, July 7.—The attendance at Sheepshead Bay was the largest of the ason today and the betting was heavy. The sport opened with the second half of the double event. As soon as the flag fell Cesarfon took the lead and was neyer headed. In the second race Glenmoyne was the cholce and justified it by winning easily. The third was an easy victory for Henry of Navarre. In the steeplechase Rodman, the favorite, won easily. The Realization stakes, which is the chief race of the year, for 3-year-olds, was a sorry spectacle this year, for Dobbins won in_a common_canter in’the slow time of 2:65. When the flag fell they were all hot to make the pace. Gwendolyn started out ahead of Dobbins, who was two lengths ahead of the other four, running side by side. _This was the order ‘passing fhe grand stan® at the end of th ' tirst half mile Positions were not matc-.ully changed at the mile post, although Senator Grady had dropped out of the bunch and was laboring behind. With a quarter of a mile to g0 Dobbins shot out past Gwendolyn and took the lead almost in a single bound, while Hornpipe, under Taral's hands, came up rapidly. Rey el Santa Anita was caught napping, and the rider had to ride with ands_and feet to catch the Keene colt. They had it hammer and tongs, but Horn- pipe held on to the ehd and 'got second place by a short head. Gwendolyn was Fourth, Longdale Afth, while Senator Grady was a very bad last.

Moore court opened in Brooklyn on Friday morn- ing, says the New York Sun, an elderly man with a_sunburnt complexion, sandy hair and a Scotch burr In his volce that fairly tickled the ear when he spoke, walked into the clerk's office and said: “I want to see my b-b-b-boy once more, Boo hoo hoo! My p-p-poor b-b-b-boy." “Who is your boy?"* asked an officer. “Harry Parker,” answered the illuminated stranger. Great toars rolled down his cheeks. He was a study in grief, The officer's sympathy was aroused. When Harry Parker was gathered in by the police he was supposed to be one of a gang of experlenced English pickpockets that has been working the race tracks. Parker's misfortune happened on May 15, when Dr. Rice won the handicap. Parker and George Holmes were arrested at the Brooklyn Jockey club track by Detective Mason for helping themselves to a $100 diamond stud that hap- pened to be In tho bosom of Reuben Dodd They were indicted for grand larceny in the socond degree and convicted. They were to be arraigned before Judge Moore on Friday for sentence. When the florid stranger heard from the officer that “his son” was to be sentenced, he asked to see Judge Moore. The officer took him to the judge's private room “What is it you want?"” asked Judge Moore. The stranger was shaking with sobs as he said: “Oh, your majesty, my poor b-b-b-boy! He was such a nice young m-m-man, the | hope of my old age.” Well, what's his name?" {arry, your excellency; may it please you." “Yes, and he has been convicted of grand larceny, and I am going to sentence him this morning,” sald Judge Moore. The stranger was heaving with sobs. “Spare him, your excellency! Spare my only son! He was such a nice b-b-b-boy—boo-lioo-hoo! I haven't seen my unhappy boy for two whole years. He has been wayward when he has been out of my care. Do have mercy on him, and I will bless you all my days. Harry will be grateful, too.” He has never been in trouble before, your majest—your honor. understand that he has been in prison before,” said Judge Moore, who was a bit suspiciou You hurt me when you say that,” rald the stranger with dignity. “If he has been in trouble before may your honor send him ta_prison for life.” While this was going on Detective Mason, who had arrested Parker, entered the room. He remembered to have seen the ruddy stranger talking to Parker during the trial. ““Are you married?” asked Judge Moore. “My poor, dear wife is dead,” sald the man, again’ bringing out his damp hand- Harry Parker, kerchief and dabbing at his streaming eyes. He cried easily and without effort, “Where are you employed?’ asked Judge Moore. “For business reasons I would prefer not to answer,” said the man. “I have been a respectable citizen since I came to this country.” A close cross-examination developed the name of one man who lived in Harlem who had employed Harry Parker's father. “Mason,” sald the judge to the detective, ‘g0 to Harlem and see what this man knows about Mr. Parker.” The heartbroken parent’s sobs ceased sud- denly. “'Your honor, I—I—T will call again,"” he sald, and out he went in a hurry. When Parker was arraigned for sentence Judge Moore asked him, *“Is your father alive?” “No; he died eight years ago." Parker chuckled when the story of the broken-hearted parent was told to him. “If that man says he Is your father he didn’t tell the truth, en?” said Judge Moore. ““Of course he didn’t, and he's nothing but an old bungler anyway,” said Parker with disgust. The broken-hearted parent didn't return to claim his long-lost boy, and Parker was sentenced to Sing Sing for four years and 1. hat was the latest trick mented a court office Ehuo RN Boating at Courtland beach, g Minor Polico Matter: John R.

WALES' YACAT WON AGAIN Time Allowanoe Saves the Pride of the British by a Minute VIGILANT DEFEATED BY THE BRITANNIA 4 Beautiful Day to See the Race, bat the Pre ing’ Conditions Were All Able to the Success of the British Boat. HUNTER'S QUAY (Firth of Clyde), July 7.~In the race for the Queen's cup at the ™ = regatta of the Royal Clyde Yacht cludb today the Britannia was again the winner. She went over the line almost {mmodiately after: the gun was fired at 10:30 a. m., and at’ Cloch Point she had a slight lead, which she increased over the Vigllant. 3 The course today was that of the Royal Clyde Yacht club, the one salled over at the * Mudhook Yacht club contest on Thursday, In today's race, according to the officlal rat ing, the Vigilant having been measured yes terduy, the American yacht at 175 tons to the Britannia's 150 tons, allowed the prince of Wales' cutter three minutes. The Vigls lant allowed the Majorie eighteen minutes, The starters were as follows Yacht Rig. Rating. Owner. Handicap, Cuttor rince of Wales 3 min. V' 0P Messrs Goul Serateh Marjorte. Cutter — 18 min. The interest, of course, centered in the Vigilant and the Britannia. The harbor presonted a fine spectacle, as the dull, cloudy early hours of the morning were sucs ceoded by a glorious sunburst which ens livened everything and everybody. During the morning aslight southorly breeze was flowing and this benefited the Britannia. The breeze increased as the time approached, and when the start was made was blowing freshly down the channel. Tho smart and powerful looking Vigilant lay in Gourock bay until 9:16 a. m., when she loft her moorings and began cruising about the firth until the time for the start. Tho maneuvering for the start was & pretty sight. The Vigilant was luffing alon| in front of the line, while the Marjorie an Britannia cruised about in the mouth of the loch. When they stayed to starboard in order to come down on the line, the Britans nia was pushing into the weather of the Marjorfe and was a bowsprit ahead as the gun was fired. VIGILANT STARTED POORLY. The Britannia was over the line almost immediately after the gun fired, closely fole lowed by the Marjorie. The Vigilant made & bad start, being fully three-quarters of & minute behind the Britannia, This was ace counted for by the fact that the American yachit had less way on when she camo about,, Amid rousing cheers and much steam whistling the three vachts bore away shor§ on the starboard tack, and It was soon seen that the Vigilant was closing in on the leads ers and Iying high up in the wind. The Britannia had a short hitch about 200 yards out, and had to stand up on the weather of the Vigilant as sho drew on, and still had the weather gauge, the American yacht hnlng two lengths behind, Captain Carter of the Britannia was today assisted by Captain O'Nelll of the Iverna, and the prince of Wales' cutter had on board sixteen picked men from the Iverna, making a total of forty-six men to handle the yacht. The Vigilant carried a crow of forty-pine men. The Vigilant and Britannla hul]a to the starboard tack to the Cloch shore withe out making a tack, the Britannia falling away to leoward. When the racers cleared the Cloch lighte house thoy met a slightly more favorabl wind, and the Britannia was not only poln| ing as high as the Vigilant, but she wa# drawing ahegd. When the yachts ran into more open water, the brepzo wag breaking the sea into whitecaps, and both the Brita nfa and the Vigllant were heeling over, Th Vigilant, to everybody's surprise ashore, ape peared to be falling behind. Experts sald that she fore-reached very fast and that hep centerboard gripped her to windward in g very effective manner. On staying to fotch the Skelmorlie mark, the Britannia slightly improved her lead. The heat down was a marvelous exhibitiog of seamanship upon the part of the captalng of both the American and English yachts, ! Both yachts came on the run toward Cloch, with ‘spinnakers to starboard and Jib-to sails and balloon foresails pulling splendidly, coming past the Weymss sido In a true bu softening wind. The Marjorle was following 17_minutes astern. The Vigilant began closing up on the Britannia's stern on nearing the Oloch lghts house, but after passing the lighthouse the Britannia again widened the gap between them, and the Vigilant was unable to close the breach. Y MADE AN EXCITING FINISH, - At Hunter quay there was a scene of ine tense excitement at the finish. Though thy Vigllant was leading, the Britannia seem to be gaining and it was thought she woul pass the Vigilant. But wnen she could no‘ pass and it could be seen she had won og her allowance, the greatest enthusiasm pres vailed, Captain Hoft handled the Vigilant grandly in the run to Skelmorlie, but he did m succeed in the severe task of enabling h:: to get a sufficlent advantage to allow the yacht to pass the Britannia, as the lattep kept the Vigilant safely weatherbowed. There was great excitement when the vessels were abreast. The great questio then was whether the Vigilant could g home far enough in advance to overco the time allowance. The (Vigilant dr away grandly, but the distance was tob short and the Britannla got the verdlot The time of the two yachts was as follows at the finish: Vigilant, 4 hours, 16 minutes, 37 seconds; Britannia, 4 hours, 17 minutes, 42 seconds. The Britannia with her time allowance of three minutes won by 1 minute, 55 seconds.
