From a cere- ful computation Manager Ed Tipton states that over $2,000,000 has changed | hands at the Butte and Anaconda | meeting together. The rich $5000 Labor Day handicap, decided on Monday, Sep- | tember 5, was the big event of the meeting, and the win of Marcus Daly’s brown horse Scottish Chieftain was a popular one. He shouldered 120 pounds and in a flerce drive Duffy snatched victory by a nose from the despised ider Tempo, with 88 pounds in the le. The latter horse was formerly roperty of E. A. Tipton and was sold for the meager sum the but recently of $70. The fortunate purchaser has since been offered $1500 for the colt. The fa- Senator Bland, ran well for a vorite, mile and then pulled out of the game, | hopelessly beaten. His past trials were the cause of many depleted pockets.

In his opinion the colt had been placed to al- low Ventoro, the Haggin entry, also trained by Byrn to win. Aside from this incident the decisions rendered from the stand have given en- tire ~~tisfaction, and were singularly free from comment. Of the California contingent of horse- men racing here, the firm of Edwards & Lanrgendorfer has met with the greatest success. Etta H, Lady Ash- lev, Dolores, Estro and Eroica placed them among the big winners at the Butte meeting, and the stable has sided in the | Larva, | | this | B amount $1810 was gathered by a H and Lady Ashley gie Smith left for California last week, credited with being over $4000 ahead on the trip.

The fact remains that six days later Tor- sida came out and took the rich Daly stake in a gallon with the stable boy enn on her back. Farrer & Tuberville started off good winners, but Flashlight and the bal- ance of their horses “trained off,” leav- 1ng them in the lurch toward the end.

Manager Danny Lynch and Trainer on |'s hort departed for the far West Tuesday, “out to the last ounc Jockey Glover left them here and Tom- my Butler, it said, would like to sever his connection with the firm. Be- fore leaving Lynch disposed of Scotch Rose and R. Q. Ban to parties here. | Frank Maley and his partner, Roland, have had no luc racing Pleasanton, Texarkana and Silverado. The first named is fast, but unfortu- | nate. Crane & Owens picked up a few dol- | lars with Amas; Though Grady won a couple of purs he was of little ac- count.

Ogden also has been retired to the stud. Crit Davis has shipped Han d@’Or and the rest of his string to Latonia. He met with {ll success here. In the same car J. K. Redmon took Serrano, Lucky Star and two others. After closing up the affairs of the meeting here Manager E. A. Tipton will journey to his home in Lexington to enjoy a well-earned rest.

Time, 3: BLACK VENUS TAKES THE GREAT EASTERN St. Lorenzo Falls During the Race and Jockey Barrett Is Badly Injured. NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—Perfect weather, a fast track and a good card attracted a large crowd to the closing day of the Sheepshead Bay meeting to-day. Two | stakes were down for decison, the Great | Bastern and the Autumn Cup. Four- teen of the best two-year-olds in train- ing faced the starter in the Great East- ern, with Black Venus a hot favorite, and | Martimas, the Futurity winner, second choice. Black Wenus, rushing to the front, made all the running and won well in hand by a length and a half from Ethelbert and Martimas, who finished heads apart in that order. During the race St. Lorenzo, with Bar- | rett up, fell reavily in the middle of the | bunch at the head of the stretch, and it is feared that Barrett was badly injured. The Autumn Cup furnished a sensational finish between The Friar and George 'd, the latter, with Sloan up, winning in ‘a drive by a neck. The Morris pair, | The Friar and Mirthful, were favorites at | odds on.” The Friar made the running all | the way, but George Boyd, with a puil in the weights, got up in the stretcn and won in a drive.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10.—It is un- officially announced that Phil lelphia will build for the American avy the battleship that is to replace the Maine | —a ship that will be a rival of the tre- mendous Royal Sovereign of the Eng- lish navy and the Carnot of the French navy. The shipbuilders all made pro- posals to build vessels of eighteen knots speed and exceeding by more than 1000 tons the displacement contemplated by Congress. Of the different types pro- posed In the three bids, that offered by the Cramps, it s said, found the most favor. The result was that the board concluded to recommend that an award be made of one battleship to each of the three bidders, provided the other two would accept the Cramps scheme in lieu of thoce offered by themselves. The ship, lengthened and otherwise modified according to Cramps’ original scheme, will be of nbout 12,189 tons dis- piacement. wror Abe, Rida, | Hawthorne stakes, six furlongs, | VICTORY CAUSES MUCH EXULTATION Ehgland’s Sentiment as to the Soudan. FOREBODINGS ARE blSPELLED BRITONS JOYOUS OVER KITCHE- NER'S VICTORY. At Home, However, the Army Is Not Well Supplied, and There Was Much Misery at Salisbury Plain. Copyrighted, 1898, by the Assoclated Press. LONDON, Sept. 10.—The event of the week, the capture of Omdurman | and, incidentally, of Khartoum, by the | Anglo-Egyptian army, under General | Sir Herbert Kitchener, has produced a | feeling of exultation throughout Great | Britain, which is in marked contrast with the gloomy forebodings of the past months, during which every one | has been finding fault with the Gov- | ernment, and it was generally be- | Heved that the country's rivals were overmatching her at every point. The | completeness of the victory has had a most exhilarating effect and has un- doubtedly impressed the Continental nations, while the cordial praise cabled from the American press has been much appreciated here. The understanding arrived at be- tween Great Britain and Germany al- lows the former’s plans in South Af- rica to be carried out without fear of missal of Li Hung Chang from the Chi- nese Foreign Office, following the Czar’s proposals, is taken as evidence of the complete triumph of British di- plomacy in the far East. Vanity Fair, the Government, in a gleeful review of the situation, sa “Looking east- ward we see pauperized Russla ready | to climb at our desire.” | “And, last of all,” continues Vanity 3| Fair, which of late has been most in- genjous and persistent in its abuse and | misrepresentation of America, “if we | look at America we are confronted with | the sight of a friendly nation ready to back us up whenever our desires are mutual. Who will say now that the horizon is not clear and that Old Eng- land, place, sits on a still higher pinnacle? While the transport and commis- sariat departments of the British army, as exemplified by the admirable con- | to be beyond reproach in active service, | there is no lack of allegations that | there was a serious breakdown during the recent army maneuvers on Salis- bury plain. In the first place, owing to the resources of the War Office vcing inadequate to the demands, the con- | tract for the catering was given to Sir | Thomas Lipton, and, if the reports are | to be believed, the soldiers suffered con- siderable privations. Indeed, it would seem some of them suffered so much that they committed offenses, prefer- ring prison to the treatment they were receiving on Salisbury plain. This is corroborated by the fact that the mili- tary prisons in the neighborhood were s0 overcrowded that the officials de- clared they would not receive any fur- ther prisoners. Besides this, the suf- ferers from sickness and accidents complain of great neglect. They say they were without food and drink for hours, or until civilians succored them. The tourist agencies are planning | trips to Khartoum, which this week | has demonstrated to be less than nine | days from London. Last Saturday Gen- eral Kitchener dispatched Colonel Hope from Omdurman, the former Dervish | stronghold on the River Nile, near | Khartoum, to Cairo, and he accom- | plished the journey in eighty-seven | and a half hours. A long-cabled interview with Joseph Chamberlain, the British Secretary for the Coloni who is now in the United States on a visit to his wife's parents, [ has been received with incredulity by | the Lngllih press. The Dalily Chronicle says: “That he should have talked of a rallroad through the Transvaal from Khartoum to the cape, or have dis- closed the Anglo-German understand- ing, or performed other feats of a like description is beyond believing. If | these stories are true, then indeed Lord | Salisbury’s ‘blazers’ are quenched for- | ever in the white light of Mr. Chamber- | lain’s indiscretions.” | Tropical weather continues here and on the Continent. The thermometer in London on Thursday last registered 90 degrees, summer, while the returns for the past thirty years do not show any previous record above 87 for the month of Sep- | tember. The whole of Great Britain continues without rain, and the almost unbreath- able atmosphere in London is inten- sified by a sultry, white mist, which was so thick on the Thames that the steamboats had to stop running. There have been innumerable cases of sun- stroke of apoplexy, and the {ron viorks of Birmingham and the “Black | Country” are closing on account of the | heat. Fires are occurring among the ti1ees and in the grass on the commons. The conditions prevailing in the east ¢nd of London are especially pitiable. There has been the usual water famine, and for three weeks over 1,000,000 peo- ple, to say nothing of animals, have been suffering from the shortage. The situation is daily growing worse, fevers | are breaking out, and as the indlcations of rain are as scarce as the signs of snow, the supply of water has already | been curtailed three hours daily, and | promises to be.further shortened. The heat has also been very great in Paris, where an ice famine prevails, and the French soldiers have been suf- fering so much during the army man- euvers that the latter vad to be aban- doned. The Paris meteorological au- thorities hold that a sun spot is re- sponsible for the extreme heat. It now appears that George N. Cur- zon, the former Parliamentary Secre- tary of the Foreign Office, and newly appointed Viceroy of India, will not be raised to the peerage before he goes to India. The health authorities have issued a warning against the use of Americon chewing gum, which is becoming the rage among children in the, Bast Enu. The authorities consider it more dan- gerous than the icecream which the Italians sell in the street, and against which there has been a rigorous cru- sade. To-Day, which is now edited by Barry Paine, instead of Jerome K. Jarome, devotes pages this week to the exposure of the alleged “Klondike Flasco,” especially to the reported cor- ruption of officials. It publishes a lets ter from a prominent Englishman who says: “‘The police, land office, post- office, Gold Commissioner’s office and mounted police are all corrupt. The Americans are having thé laugh over the British about pure government. I would rather see the whole country ihanded over to the Yankees than see | a German-Boer alliance and the dis- | an ardent supporter of | instead of having taken a lower | duct of the Soudan campaign, appear | which is the record for the | | a great such a shameful state of affairs under our flag.” Yachtsmen are delighted at the fact that “big ships” have again been chosen for the America’s cup contest, as this class of yacht promises to be | very strong here in 1899. Charles Day Rose and the Duke of Abbruzzi, nephew of the King of Italy, have both ordéred new ninety-footers. | British society is still scattered over the country and continent. The Prince of Wales landed on Thursday from the royal yacht and will spend a fortnight at Osborne. The Queen, who is in excellent health, witnessed the Bremomar gathering at Balmoral on Thursday. Unusual inter- est was taken in the celebration, as it was the fiftieth anniversary of the oc- casion on which the Queen first patron- ized the games. The Doncaster races during the week attracted many fashionable people. There were many large house parties at | where the Wilsons are | Tranby Court, again greatly to the fore. They took a special train from Hull with a party which included Lady Randolph Church- ill, the Earl and Countess of Essex and the Duke of Roxburgh. ‘With the reopening of the Haymarket Theater with “The Little Minister” last Saturday and the first performance of the Kendalls’ season at the St. James next Thursday the London autumn sea- son will have fairly begun. But the heat naturally is affecting the attend- ance at the places of amusement. STOCKTON LAND DEAL OF VAST PROPORTIONS Eastern and London Synd!cata Pm‘-1 chases Victoria Island for $320,000. STOCKTON, Sept. 10.—One of the larg- est land sales in years has virtually been made in this city, whereby John Herd, the well-known promoter, has sold Vie- torfa Island, sixteen miles from this clty, to an Eastern and London syndicate. Victoria Island is a new body of land | to most_people. It was formerly a por- tion of Union Island, but has been sep- arated from that body of land by a canal and was recently named after the Eng- | lish Queen. The island contains 8800 acres. Some months ago Mr. Herd made ar- rangements with Willlams & Bixler of | on Island for the reclamation of 13,000 of tule lands. By that agreement understood that he was to get §000 | s and the use of the other 5000 acres for a period of vears free of charge. He interested several persons in _the scheme and the work is now in_progress. Victoria_Island has been made by the | cutting of a navigable channel through | acreage, and the whole domain | belongs to Mr. Herd, or did before this sale was consummated. It is reported that the purchase price is fixed at $40 an acre, which involves a deal of $320,000— one of the largest in the county for years. ol i Vot oi0 BRITISH GUNBOAT AT SANTA BARBARA Leander Stops to Coal After Fighting for American Citizens at Acapulco.
