THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1896. that the concert ot Europe seemed to be in a more favorable condition to extirpate the terrible disease in the East than ever before. He eunlogized the speech made on Tuesday lJast by M. Hanotaux, the French Foreign Minister, in the Chamber of Deputies. He did mnot, he said, expect that France would try to baffle the action of the European concert, while, he added, the triple alliance had always been in sympathy with the British doctrine re- garding the Eastern question. =Lord Salisbury repudiated the idea that there was a necessity of permanent au- tagonism between Great Britain and Rus- sia. [Cheers.] Such an idea wasa super- stition of antiquated diplomacy. He had, he said, good ground for believing that Russia had the same views. He did not desire i0 imply that there was any power with which Great Britain would specially act. He only protested against the idea that any power was specially Great Britain’s opponent. He would not say there would be diffi- culty in concurring in any scheme to ex- ercise force if the other powers agreed, but he did not know whether the use of force was meditated against Turkey. He referred to the latest promises of reform made by the Sultan, and said that the future alone could determine how far even such humble promises as these would be realized. He hoped the powers would be able to convince Turkey that she was drifting in the current toward an abyss, and that tney would succeed in diverting her before she arrived at the edge. g e PERFECTLY SATISFACTORY. Terms of Agreement for the Venezuelan Settlement, LONDON, Nov. 9.—The Daily News, commenting to-morrow upon Lord Salisbury’s speech at the Guildhall, will say in reference to his explanation of the Venezuelan matter that the terms of the settlement asstated by the Prime Minister are perfectly satisfactory, involving no surrender of esseutial principles. The so- lution arrived at will enable each side to claim a victory. Lord Salisbury can justly say he succeeded in protecting the rights of the British settlers, and Mr. Olney can claim with literal truth that he succeeded in bringing Great Britain to consent to arbitration. The Post will say on the settlement of the Venezuelan dispute that itis wholly satisfactory to the United States and Great Britain. The Daily Graphic holds that the solu- tion of the vexatious gquestion reflects the highest credit upon all, concerned. It fully justifies the intervention of the United States. The Standard will briefly welcome the “‘auspicious announcement.” The Cnronicle will say that it finds Lord Salisbury’s statement rather puz- zling. Itdoubts whether settled colonists exist in any great numbers, but supposes it is all right. WEYLER_ TAKES COMMAND. Leads the Spanish Forces in Pursuit of the Unconquerable Insurgeats of Cuba. LONDON, Exc., Nov. 9.—A dispatch to the Central News from Madrid says that cable advices from Havana show that ex- tensive overations against the rebels are peginning. Captain-General Weyler will start for Artemissa to-morrow to attack Maceo in the Cuzzo Hills. 5 HAVANA, Cusa, Nov. 9.—No news has been received from Puerto Principe, and details are lacking of the siege of Guay- mayo, which was lately reported to have been captured by the rebels. Railroad connection with that place has been broken since October 2. A large rebel force attacked the town of Aguada, province of Matanzas. The gar- rison made a brilliant defense and re- pulsed the insurgents, killing five of them, incluaing their leader, Menendez. The Spaniards lost a major afld one soldier killed and three wounded. There are now, according to an official report, 13,637 soldiers ill in the various military bos- | pitals on the island. Captain-General Weyler arrived at Mursel this morning. The troops accom- panying him were incorporated with 6000 men, who had been sent from Guanaqua, and the entire command started in the direction of the hills in search of Mateo. WASHINGTON, v. C, Nov. 9.—The Duke of Tetuan, Minister of Foreign Af- fairs at Madrid, cabled Senor Dupuy de Lome this afternoon that General Weyler left Havana to-day to take immediate personal command in the fieid of tue comprehensive operations against the insurgents, which has been in preparation for some months and for which large re-enforcements have been made available. The Minister says the campaign will be pursned most energet- ically, and that a chanze in the sitnation in Cuba may be quickly expected. There is apparently no ground for a report cir- culated to-day that the Spanish Minister, Dupuy de Lome, would be recalled. Itis pointed out by the State Department officials ‘that the Minister has been ex- ceedingly active as Spain’s representative, and that at this juncture his recall, even for promotion to a higher post, wight be disastrous to Spain’s interests. el PACIFIC CABLE COMMISSION, Meeting Held in London for the Purpose i of Organization. LONDON, ExG., Nov.9.—In pursnance of a summons issued last month the Pa- cific Cable Commission met at the Colonial Office in London this afternoon. The meeting was presidged over by Lord Sel- borne and was attended by the Canadian representatives to the conference, Sir Don- ald A. Smith and Mr. Jones; Sir Saal Samuel. agent general in England for New South Wa%au; Hon. Duncan Gililes, agent peneral in London for Victoria, and George E. Murray, one of the principal clerks of the treasury, was also przsent. The meet- ing was merely for the purpose of organi- zation. Secretary Mercer arranged the lines of business to be pursued, and the commission and.the meeting adjourned until Thursday. It was announced that the commission would bhold frequent meetings and make its report at the end of the year. —— Liberty Bell Attached, CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 9.—The Colum- bian liberty beil is in the hands of the Sheriff. The Henry McShane Maru- facturing Company of Baltimore, which cast it, claim that it has never been paid for the work, and this morning the firm'’s local agent with a Deputy Sheriff brougit the beil from Evanston to Chicago. It will be shipped to Baltimore, where the firm intends to place it on exhibition. The bell was attached once before just prior to its final loan to the Atiantic Ex- position, but a note for $125, the amount of the attachment, was given to secure the debt. The machine company cleims the bell cost them $1200. ———— After the Nail Trust. INDIANAPOLIS, Inp., Nov.9.—Judze Baker of the United States Court late this afternoon granted a restraining order in the case of S. C. Bramkamp of Cincinnati against the American Wire-nail Trust. Judge Baker said the trust wasa ‘*mon- ster that seeks to prey upon the whole merican people and which it is the duty f the courts and lawmakers to come lown upon with an unsparing hand.” SOLLY SMITH 1S THE CHAMPION Wrestles the Laurels From Willie in Eight Rounds. The English Feather-Weight No Match for the California Hurricane. GO DOWN B:IFORE RUSHES. Finally tae Referece Stops the Mil and Gives the Decision to the American. LONDON, Exa., Nov. 9.—The fight be- 4ween Solly Smith of Los Angeles, Cal., and Willie Smith, the feather-weight champion of England, for a purse of £500, took place to-night at the National Sport- ing Club. The American was awarded the fight in the eighth round. A big crowd saw the fight. The English- man was the favorite at odds of 7 to 4 on, early in the day; but a fair amount of money was laid on the American to-night, the odds then falling to 6 to 4 on the Englishman. Both men fought at 116 pounds. Solly Smith’s seconds were Trainer Dealing and Dally Monroe, while Burge and Orage acted in a similar ca- pacity for the Englishman. Solly opened the fight with a wicked swing. His rushes puzzled the English- man, but the first round was harmless. In the second round Solly forced the fighting, buta heavy blow aimed at his opponent missed its mark, and he fell upon his kuees. Shortly alterward be again missed a smashing blow. In the third round Solly landed a sting- ing left on Willie's chin, knocking him off his feet. The Englishman was down for six seconds. If Solly had steadied himself he might have ended the fight in this round, as when the Englishman got on his feet he was all abroad and Solly punched him right and left. ‘When time was called for the fourth round the American was again the ag- gressor, landing repeatedly on Willie's throat and head, but not stopping him. In the fifth round BSolly landed one heavy blow. The sixth round was remarkable for uothing save the strong fighting of the American who, however, did no very great damage to his opponent. Solly’s work in the seventh round was of the hurricane order. He fought the Englishman up and down, and the latter was saved only by the call of time. In the eighth round Solly punchea Willie all over the ring uniil the reteree stopped the fight and awarded it to the American. The National Sporting Club also put up a purse for a fignt between Billy Hill, otherwise Muldoon’s “Pickaninny,” and Arthur Callan. There was a very fast opening, Hiil having the better of it. Later the fighting became more even and for a time the result was doubtful. There was much clinching, especially by Callan, who adopted this method of eseaping punishment. Hill won the fight in the fourteenth round. S o2 *“SCALDY BILL” DEFEATED, Badly Battered During the Battle With Dick O’ Brien. NEW YORK, K. Y., Nov. 9.—Popular prices and an attractive programme served to crowd the Union Athletic Ciub to the doors to-night. The principal event was a twenty-round encounter be- tween *“‘Scaldy Bill” Qainn, who bails from the Pennsylvania coal regions, and Dick O'Brién of Boston. It was the sec- ona ‘“go’” between the colored boy and the Bostonian, as they had previvasly fought a draw. There were fully 2500 peo- ple present when the opening bout, ten rounds at 118 pounds, hetween Mike Sears of Boston and Charley Kelly of New York, was announced. Sam Austin was referee. In the last round Sears punched his man right and left on the jaw and quickly had him on Queer street, but the New Yorker was strong and stayed the distance. The reieree awarded the decision to Sears. The next pair was two local celebrities, Kid McPartland and Harry Peterson, who were scheduled to go ten roundsat 140 pounds. McPartlana was declared - the winner. “Scaldy’’ Bill and O'Brien got into the ring at 10:40 o’clock. O’Brien was looked after by Jack Burns, Danny McBrige, Billy Anderson_and Derb Upton. Bill’s seconds were Cuarley White, Frank Pur- cell and Sammy Meyers. O'Brien weizhed 156 pounds and Quinn scaled 148, They shook hands at 10:45. After O'Brien had tapped his man lighly twice Bill can.e in with a couple of wila swings from which the Boston boy got away. Scaldy rushed in and swung right and lert on the jaw sending O'Brien to his knees. Bill seemed willing to take all O’Brien could send in. In the second round Scaley came into a right on the neck, but it did not feeze him. O'Brien sent both hands to the face and had Scaldy rattled, but failed to fol- low up. Quinn sent a hot left to the wind before the bell rang. g Scaldy was very wild in the third and O'Brien landed several times on the jaw, but bis blows lacked force and the colored boy only smiled. He seemed to want O’ Brien to wear himself out. O’Brien opened the fourth with a sound- ing whack on Bill’s spine. But the la ter came back twice on the wind hard. They mixed things up toward the end of the round and O'Brien had aimost got his man out with right and left handers when the bell rang. The fifth was practically a repetition, but O'Brien could not hit hard enough to put Scaldy out. Both were pretty well done up at the end of the sixth, but O’'Brien had the round well in hand. He blocked most of Bill’s leads and the latter's swings when they landed with their usuat force. Iu the seventh the Boston man jabbed until he had Bill's face bleeding, and the colored boy was very weak, but game. Scaldy was staggering around the ring and O'Brien had his nose almost mashed into his face, but the bell again saved It was only a guestion of time in the ninth, and if O’Brien could have landed a really hard blow, Scaldy would have gone out, but Dick was too tired and the zong came to Bill's relief. Bill came up fuil of nght in the tenth, but O'Brien was too clever for him and stopped the rush. BScaldy’s nose and mouth were bleeding and his left eye was nearly closed, but, despite the punishment he was receiving, he was game and on his 1eet when the round closed. Scaldy put his left hard on the body three times and swung a right on the jaw, but a left on the neck from the Bos- ton man sent Scaldy to bis knees and took the steam out of him. Quinn’slip wasa fearful sight. Again and again O'Brien forced the negro to his knees, but could not put him out and the Boston man was etting weak from his own exertions. There were loud cries of foul in the tweifth because O'Brien pasted his man with one hand free, but no foul was al- lowed. O’Brien had Bili at his mercy, but could not get in a decisive blow. At | last Scaldy’s seconds threw up the sponge aiter two minutes and fifty-three seconds of the thirteenth round and O'Brien was declared the winner. 03 San Jose Will Welcome Zisgler.

Mentor Attacked and Torn to Pieces in Montana. B'ood-Stained Evidences of a Terrib'e Struggle With the Brute in the Snow. TROY, MoxT., Nov. 9.—Rev. Charles D, Mentor was attacked by a bear near this point and torn to pieges in a desperate fight. He had been out with a hunting party and Saturday sought to adventure alone in the hills. That night he did not return and when morning came a relief party was organized and search was insti- tuted for him. Several miles from the camp the searchers found blood on the | snow and later came to a spot where a terrible struggie had taken place. ik The trail in the snow to the point where the animal had dragged the body was fol- | lowed and what was leit of it was found, mangled, torn, shredded and frozen, cov- ered with the life blood of the man who attempted to defend himself against the brute. Judging by tracks in the snow the | fight must have been a fearful one. The body had been partly devoured by the animal when the relief party arrived. G gt MURDERERS ARE IN DANGER. An Indignant Crowd of Missourians Storm | a Jail, but Fail to Get Possession of Prisoners. RICHMOND. Mo., Nov. 9.—Lon Lackey | and Jesse Winner, charged with the mur- der of Mrs. Winner and two children on the night of October 26, waived examina- tion to-day and were remanded to jail to | await the action of the Grand Jury at the February term of court. An immense crowd of peoplé was in town and at 10’clock this afternoon, when the news spread, a rush was made for the jail and the prisoners were demanded of Sheriff Holman. The latter had sworn in twenty extra deputies and the jail was se- carely guarded and he refused to surrender the prisoners. Colonel John C. Brown appealed to the crowd to disperse and assured them that the law would be enforced at all hazaras, The crowd howled for the prisoners, but lacked a leader and slowly dispersed. The jail is strongly guarded to-night. o Tnloa THREATENED RY A CRANK. Mayor BSwift of Chicago Declared a Menace to Society. CHICAGO, Irn, Nov. 9.—Joseph Ma- ruska walked into the City Hall thisafter- noon intent on killing Mayor Swift. Ma- ruska asked in an excited manner to be directed to the Mayor's office. An officer took him to detective headquarters. Ma- ruska declared that the Mayor was a menace to society and reached for his hi pocket. He succeeded in drawing a bull- dog revolver, but was disarmed by officers at hand. Maruska swore that he would kill Mayor Swift and then go to Canton and dispatch President-elect McKinley, both of whom, he said, must die before tlie country could prosper. He was hand- cuffed after a uard struggie and locked up. R g Photographer Sarony Dead. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov, 9.—Napoleon Sarony, the veteran photographer, was found dead in his bed to-day. Barony’s name as photographer was known throughout the length and breadth of the land. His chiel reputation was made in taking theaurical photographs, though he also had taken pictures of many dis- tinguished people, polit:cal and religious. ‘The news of his death was a surprise to many, as he ‘bad been in fairly good health for some time past. The exact cause of his de:zh is unknown, Wife-Dvirder and Suicide. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.,, Nov, 9.—As a result of a quarre!, presumably because of jealousy on the t of the husband, Wil- liam Goukler, who was also known by his neighbors by the name of Mays, this morning murdered his wife by cutting her throat and them ended his own life in the same manner.

But Certain Senators Will Refuse to Confirm Such a Nom- ination. ONLY ONE COURSE REMAINS. If the Office Is Not Filled the Appoint. ment Will Be Made by McK'nley. WASHINGTON, D. €., Nov. 9.—It is possible that President Cleveland will not throw upon Major McKinley's shoulders the entire burden of rewarding the Na- tional Democrate who aided so materially in carrying the day for McKinley and honest money. Ex-Representative Bynum of Indiana, to whose activity the Indianapolis con- vention owed its existence and who as ehairman of the National Democratic cam- paign contributed no little to success, isa candidate for the vacancy on the bench of | Court of Claims created by the recent death of Judge Richardson. The office pays $5000 per annum and is a life ap- pointment, A life appointment is what Mr. Bynum needs, for there 1s no reason to believe that the regular Democracy of Indiana will ever permit his election to any office in the gift of Indiana Demo- crats. There is some doubt as to Mr. Cleveland’s willingness to appoint Mr. Bynum to the office. This is not the first office for which the Indiana ex-Congress- man has been a candidate. Indeed, there has been scarcely a vacancy since he was defeated -for re-election to Congress for which he had not been a candidate. Hitherto, however, the bitter opposition f Postmaster-General Wilson to any recognition of Mr. Bynum's aspirations has sufficed to defeat him. Mr. Wilson has always held Mr. Bryan personally re- sponsible for the pitiable manuner in which the House surrendered to the Sen- ate in the matter of the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill. Mr. Bynum was a member of the Ways and Means Committee which framed the Wilson bill and passed it through the House, but he was also the first man in the House to advocate agree- ing to the Senate amendments to the bill, that is to say to abandon the Wilson' bill and to accept in its stead the substitute which Mr. Gorman bad passed through the Senate. Hence Mr. Wilson has always opposed any request Mr. Bryan made. Mr. Cleve- land is 1n a difficult position. He finds it difficult, of course, to disregard the wishes of so warm a personal friend as Mr. Wilson, and at the same time he realizes that he is in justice and propriety bound tc d\:omezhinzlor Mr. Bynum now that the opportunity offers itself. Mr. Bynum was the official head of the move- mert which represented the attitude of President Cleveland and his Cabinet in the campaign. He wants an office which it is in Mr. Cleveland’s power to give bim. I Mr. Bynum was good enough for Mr. Cleveland to permit his selection as chairman in a convention which was ab- solutely composed of only Cleveland men, then he cugnt to be good enough for the office he wants. Mr. Bynum’s confirmation by the Sen- ate is a totally different proposition. Senator Voorhees of Indiana may regard his defeat for election to the Senate as the result of Mr. Bynum’s activity in eetting the Indiana go'd Democracy solidly ar- rayed against Mr. Voorhees' re-election, and he may therefore be expected to fight the confirmation bitterly. - All the other Demoeratic Senators who voted for Bryan in the last campaign may cheerfully join Mr. Voorhees in his fight against Bynum. Bul at the same time all the Democratic Senators have already announced that they will defeat any gold Democrat whom Mr. Cieveland will nominate for cfice this winter, hence Mr. Bynum’s nomination is more hopeless than 1s that of any per- sonal friend of Mr. Cleveland. Moreover, if Mr. Cleveland nominates Mr.' Bynum, and the Senate rejects him, as it probably will, then, by declining to send in a sec- ond nomination, Mr. Cleveland can give Mr. Bynum a quasi letter of recommen- dation to Mr. McKinley when he enters the White House and finds the office va- cant and Mr. Bynum still willing. The National Democratic party must be recog- nized, and Mr. Cleveland can hardly ex- pect Mr. McKinley to take care of the official head of that movement if he him- self publicly turns him down. -] THE TELEPHONE MONOPOLY. Argument of an Important Case in the Suprewme Court. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov.9.—Argu- meut in the famous case of the United States vs. the Bell telephone, a suit to cancel the patent issued to Emil Berliner for a transmitter and upon the result of which depends the continuance of the telephone monopoly in the United States, was begun in the United States Supreme Court to-day by R. I. Taylor, on behalt of the Government. He will be followed b: F. H. Fish of Boston and Joseph H. Choate for the company, and Mr. Browne will close for the Government. Before the case was called Mr. Browne, in behalf of counsel, asked an increase of time sually allotted for argument in a case (four hours) to twelve hours, but the court limited it to the remainder of this day’s session than nmninin&(nne hour) ana all of quuu-{'s and ednesday’s — nine bours in all. J. j. McNaught, counsel for the Standard Telephone Company, un- availably pieadea for an hour in which to present some views favorable to the con- Lention of the United States. P s, PARDON FOR CALIFORNIANS, President Cleveland Believes That They Hare Been Sufficiently Punished. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 9.—The President has pardoned W. H. Clane, Isaac Ross and Philip Stanwood of Cali- fornia, sentenced December 6, 1894, to pay a fine of $1 end to be confined in Los Angeles County Jail eighteen months for conspiracy, the offense being committed in the railway riots at that time general throughout the country. The men did not begin serving their time until aiter their sentences had been affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States. The' President wrote this indorsement on the application: ““Theze convicts hava suffered ‘more than nine months’ imprisonment under their sentences. 1 am bound to assume thet they Were guilty ofyan offense most dangerous in_its character and in the commission of which they aided and en- couraged an unlawful defiance of author- ity which threatened the most distressing consequences. I am convinced, however, that these men are not criminals, but laboring men swept into a violation Aol ll;i' by first yielding to the counsels of dis- order. “Others besides themselves are suffering humiliation and deprivation on account of their wrongdoing, and I am led to be- lieve that the purposes of punishment, so far as the effect on the prisoners is con- cerned, have been fully accomplished. I am aiso convinced that the imprisonment already suffered by these prisoners wil serve as a warning to the thousands equally guilty, though unpunished, and to those who may be hereafter tempted, that the laws enacted to secure peace and order must be obeyed."” —_—— Of Interest to the Coast.

NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 9.—0f all the election bets of the season perhaps the most extraordinary has just come to light, in spite of the precautions taken by the parties thereto to preserve the secret. In order to preserve his honor and carry out the conditions of the bet he so rashiy con- tracted with Benjamin Tiliard, a publisher of New York, a modest and dignified young society man of Brooklyn must ride a donkey from New York to San Francisco. It was only by accident that the news has finally got into print. Robert P. Woodward is the unfortunate man, and deeply mortified Le is, realizing as he now does the rare amusement he. is to afford his friends and the public in general, When asked if the report was true Mr. Woodward’s surprise was too genuine io admit of its denial. *Yes,” said he, “T bet on the silver can- didate and lost, and as Mr. Tillard would surely have made good bhis wager I shall do no less than carry out my part to the letter.” “When do vou start on your journe; “Immediately after Thanksgiving,” Mr. Woodward replied. *It1s hard to%nve t do such an absurd and disagreeable thing, but I ‘have purchased my donkey and made my will and I shail go. I thinkif I am lucky as to reach the coast I shall go right on around the world—butnoton a donkey. I don’t care to show my face in Brooklyn for some years to come, “Itis not the overland trip that is so shocking to them and to me,” he contin- ued, ‘‘but—but the conditions. You see, I must parade on my donkey certain popu- lar thoroughfares in New York City be- fore starting. No, I decline to name the streets. I aon’t want to see a familiar face on that occasion. Both my steed and myself must wear spectacles, and I a frock coat aud silk hat and on my transcon- tinental trip I must visit both the victori- ousand the aefeated candidate. I must start within one month after election day.” 5 And Mr. Woodward’s countenance de- picted utter disgust as the reporter de- parted. Itis suggested that on his arrival in San Francisco he be presented with a fool’s cap. Mr. Tillard was found in his office in New York, and on learning that his co- bettor had explained the terms of the bet said it was all true. He would give no further information. Sl B BANTA FE RECEIVERSHIP, Federal Courts Have Juris@iction in All the Proceedings. OSCALOOSA, Kaxs., Nov. 9.—The pro- ceedings against the Santa Fe Railway Company wherein it was sought to throw its property located in Kansas into the hands of a receiver tock an unexpected and interesting turn to-day. The case was taken. out of the Jefferson County court ana transferred to the United States court, to be heard by Judgze Foster, on the ground that, all the provisions or- dered by the United States court in the former receivership matter had not yet been complied with and the Master in Chancery discharged, the road was yet in the bands of the United States court, and hence no suit against it couid be brought in any District Court. The case was also taken out of the hands of County Attorney Phynney of Jefferson County, who brought the suit, by Gover- nor Morrill, who issued an order instruct- ing the attorney to take charze of the case. The Governor's action makes the controversy now between the State and the road. If, as raumored, there is sny scheme back of the case, the Governor's action nips it1in the bud. —_—— SLANDERED A DEAD CAPTAIN, Charges of Drunkenness Made by a Sea- man Not Believed. CHICAGO, Iru, Nov. 9.—Much indig- ‘nation was expressad by marine men to-day over the sensational charges of drunkenness made by Sailor Frank Dulach, the sole survivor of the wrecked schooner Waukesha, against Caplain Duncan Corbett. Franklin H. Head, the owner of the ill-fated boat, says that he had known Captain Corbett for twenty years; during most of the time he had sailed vessels owned by him. He had ver known Corbett to take 2 drink of iquor, and he did not believe a word that Dulach had said concerningthe dead com- mander. Other vessel men expressed similar sen- timents, and the feeling became so intense that an effort was made to start proceed- ings against Dulach for mutiny, but as ail the witnesses are dead the matter was dropped. oS S ants dssign.

Y., Nov. 9.—Promptly at 9:30 o’clock the gayly caparisoned bu- gler blew a farfare on his trumpet and the twelfth annual horse show of the National Horse Show Associatier opened. From 10:30 to 11:30 was devoted to exercising in the ring, and the high-steppers, hunters, hackneys and other candidates for ribbons were put through a warming-up process. The present show presents one or two new features, and the entries number about 100 less than last year. Secretary James T. Hyde, however, claims that tie class of entries is of a much higher grade than last year. Consequentiy the diminu- tion in numbers is made up for by increase in quality. A new and very welcome fea- ture is the holding of a preliminary trial of the hunters and jumpers classes as the first event each day. The sulky weeds, which in former years defayed the regular events of the show far beyond the ap- pointed time, will thus be disposed of early, and the jumping classes st night will not be prolonged to a tiresome extent. In the list of entries ‘there are several notabl® absentees. Those of William C. Whitney, W. Seward Webb and the mem- bers of the Vanderbit famiiy will be missed. Some of the best known ex- bibitors from out of town are: W. M Barton, Hinsdale, Iil.; Adam Beck, Lo don, Ont.; J. B. Cameron, Marietta, P: A. J. Cassatt, Berwyn, Pa.; Horace N. Crossley, Ontario, Canada; W. J. Samp- son, Youngstown, Ohio, and C. J. and H. Hamlin, Buffalo, N. Y. The first class to be signaled into the ring at noon was jumpers for preliminary trial. At20'clock the trumpet flared and the harness horses in class 47 came up for ribbons, and after an hour’s trying the judges awarded the blue rosette to C. F. Bates' brown gelding Coxey, while second prize went to George B. Hulme’s Great Bcott, and the red rosette to Bates’ second string Amazon. The Hillyn‘ds Flash was highly com mended. Class 38 brou ght out five French coach- ing stallions, four years old and over, kept for service. N. W. Dunham of Wayne, Iil., sweot the boards with his Indre, Perfection and Urhin, while Partisan, bred by tbe same, exuibited by E. W. Barton of Hillsdale, [iL, was a magnifi- cent type of his breed, but was no match inaction-and going qualities for his siable mate Indre. Colonel Kip was an absentee from the roadster class this year and first prize went to C. W. Reed of Erie, Pa., for Alice Leyburn, a nice-looking mare by Baron Wiikes. The red rosette went to Holmes Dale, a handsome bay gelding owned by William Pollack of Pittstield, Mass., while the Village Farm’s entry, King Bird, was awarded the yellow ribbon. John 8. Bretten of Englewood, I, showed a nice pair in The Czar and the Sultan, which took the crowd, in class 54, {or pairs suitable for a Stanhope, Victoria or similar vehicle, but the judges sent them down quickly for want of size and conformation. O. H. P. Belmout’s pair, Rockingham and Walsingham, got the iue rosette. Monarch and Performer, who carried all before them last year, had to put up with the red ribbon to-day. The winners were a showy pair, but iacked the conformation of Mr. Hobart’s cracks. C. F. Bates’ Aspiration and Am- bition got third and a handsome pair owned by E. D. Morgan were highly com- mended.
