BOSTON, Aug. 16.—The racing, which is important part of the League of Amer- ‘Wheelmen meet, began this afternoon the Charles River Park with a small attenda Two events were of great in-| terest, the third of a mile national cham- pionhip for professionals and the quarter- mile national championship for amateurs. The former went to Tom Butler by a few hes over Major Taylor in a sensational finish. The amateur event was captured apparently by E. W.

Five | riders had finished in g bunch, and it was jmmediately claimed that Ben Goodson of Australia had crowded the others on the | home stretch. After an appeal to the ref-| erce it was announced that the final was 2 dead heat between Peabody and Tail- dier, and it will be ridden again to- morrow, In the third of a_mile professional the | event was put into four heats, and all| those qualifying went into the semi-finals.

SR HOT RACE FOR FIRST PLACE —— LOCALS AND SACRAMENTO ARE NOW IN THE LEAD. — Gala Days Are Expected Saturday and Sunday, When the San Fran- cisco and Sacramento Teams Cross Bats. — 'Tis the umpire again, and the league players are losing themselves in howls and jeers. Mr. Long is the target of a reproachful attack by all concerned, and they want to know what chance is left them when balls are mistaken for strikes and bases for clods of earth. In the game last Sunday between Oak- land and San Jose the Prunepickers’ in- dignation and impotent wrath working up | at lightning celerity within their breas | left the field just because Mr. Long or- dered Twirler Borchers off the field. Long received the support of President Moran in his authoritative stand, and Borchers went. The public sided with the player as a matter of course, and the rest of the game was full of opportunities for the small boys on the bleachers. This is not the first time that the umpire ques- tion has demanded the full attention of the league offiders. Not many weeks ago Cahill was the mark of the Dudes, and he resigned before President Moran had the opportun L to bid him good-by. & gnade a fizzle of his work on Sun- © last, but fortunately no detrimental consequence marred the natural result of the game.

BARTLEY WINS ON A FOUL. La Fontise Too Affectionate During the Clinches. DENVER, Colo., Aug. 16.—Frank Bart- ley of New York won on a foul from Mose La Fontise of Montana to-night in'the twelfth round of a bout scheduled for twenty rounds before the Colorado Ath- letic Club. The men fought at 140 pounds and agreed'to break clean in the clinches, but the rule was twice broken by La Fontlse before the fight was stopped by the referee, Billy Woods The foul 'was a most palpable one. In the twelfth, after having been cautioned by the referee for hitting in clinches, La Fontise lost his temper and, getting -Bart- ley's head in_chancery, punched him in the jaw once before the referee could get to him. The fight was immediately awarded to Bartley, who went over to La Fontise’s corner and offered him his hand. Instead of grasping It, however, La Fontise jumped up and started to mix matters again. Bartley was willing, ap- | parently, but their seconds rushed in and separated the men before any damage was done.

COSTLY WALL PAPER. Valuable Stock Certificates Adorned a Miner's Cabin. “While in Johannesburg I saw a sample of what was probably the most valuable wall paper ever used in a house,” said an ex-official of the Government,” who re- cently returned from South Africa. “It was a stock certificate in one of the rich- est mines of the Transvaal, In the early days an Englishman who worked in one of the first mines opened in the Barberton district, ook his pay partly i cash, but mostly in script or’ shares of the com- pany.” For many years the mine yielded littie, and the company was unable to pay dividends. After a time the Englishman {nl disgusted with working the pick for hese nicely engraved but unmarketable pleces of paper, and left the place for an- other part of the country, where he con- tinued to work hard for a living, barely making both ends meet. ‘‘The miner's wife, who had her own idea of the beautiful, used the stock cer- tificates along with some odds and ends of prints and chromes, in papering the walls of their cabin, and thei‘ remained there as a grim reminder of the hollow- ness of man's expectations until one day, a broker newly arrived from England, hunted up the cabin and made an, offer for the wall paper. The price he men- tioned was so large as to excite the min- er's curiosity, and on investigation, he found that he was a large stockholder in one of the most profitable gold mines in the world. Of course, he kept his stock and to-day he is one of the mining kings, But even he probably has had no will paper since that time that represented as much wealth as did the covering of the walls of his little cabin."—New York Sun. ————————————— JOHN R.

SANTA ROSA, Aug. 16.—The third day's racing under the auspices of the Breeders' soclation opened with a match between A. T. Jackson’s Cherokee Prince and the Santa Rosa Stock Farm's bay mare Pre- cita. Jackson was his own driver and Bob Ables was up behind Precita. The mare took the first heat in 2:26, but in the set- ond both horses acted badly and the Prince scored in 2:38. The third heat and race went to Precita, who finished, after several bad breaKs, in 2:40.

The megting of the Pacific Coast Trot- ting-horse Breeders' Association at Santa Rosa is a pronounced success. The opening day was all that could be desired. The weather was ideal; the at- tendance in both grand stand and fleld was large, . and great racing resulted. Tuesday witnessed a repetition of the for- mer day's successes, and furnished even more sensational performances. The whipping finish at the conclusion of the 2:30 pace was of such an exciting char- acter that the spectators in the grand stand rose to the occasion and cheered themselves hoarse. The first heat of the two-year-old pace was negotiated In 2:21%. The two days’ racing was of the phe- nomenal order, and all indications point to the fact that there will be no cessa- tion of great performances throughout the entire week. After the finish of the two-year-old trot, which was won by the filly Eula Mac, Mr. Knight, her owner, was approached by a prominent horseman and asked to rame 2 price on her. He was asked if a ‘“thousand” would buy her. Mr. Knight declined the offer. The mare has been worked by William Hogoboom, and her race Tuesday was her malden effort. Mr. Hogoboom has won more stakes with youngsters in the last few vears than any other one trainer in California. Eula Mac went the first mile in 2:27', and cauld have stepped in 2:20 if her driver had been s0_disposed. On Friday and Saturday excursions will be run from all points along the line of the railroad. On Saturday Rudolph Spreckels will start his great pair of mares, Marguerite and Annig Ronner to the pole to a bicycle wagon. They will be driven for a team record. Charles Jeffries, a capable reins- nxu\. will handle the pair on that occa- sion. Silkwoad, the ? be sent an exh uldeless wonder, will aiso bition mile on Baturday.
