NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—The Standard handicap for three-year-olds at a mile and a furlong was the stake attraction at Gravesend. The field was made up of flve horses of good quality and a good race re- sulted. Batten was made an even-money favorite, while Cambrian, King Barley- corn and Prince McClurg had some fol- lowing. King Barleycorn made the run- ning around the first turn and up the backstretch with Cambrian as his nearest opponent, Spencer rating along with Bat- ten in fourth place. He walted until the far turn and then made his run, bring- ing Batten through the rail as the fleld turned into the stretch. He quickly took command after a short struggle with Bar- leycorn and Prince McClurg and, coming on, won cicverly by a length. Prince McClurg, ridden out, beat King Barley- corn_a head for the place. Maher took the jockey honors of the day, winning three of the six events. Results Five furiongs—Kilmarnock won, Reynolds second, Modrine third.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—Seven thousand persons saw Peter Maher knock out Joe Kennedy, the California heavyweight, in the second round in the Lenox Athletic Club arena to-night. Before the fight the betting was 2 to 1 on Maher, but his victory was even easler than his friends had ex- pected. The knockout blow which Maher delivered was practically a double left swing and hook on the jaw, following a right-hand_swing on the opposite side of the jaw. Kenned;; fell as it hit with an , and although he was unable to regain his feet within the allotted ten seconds he recovered very quickly and walked out of his corner to his dressing-room within two minutes after he was floored. Rourd 1—Kennedy was the quicker, and led to the breast. Then Maher led to his left on the body and was countered on the neck. Kennedy cut the pace and they came to close quarters, both landing. Maher got_first blood with a hard left on the nose. Kennedy clinched, and w cau- tioned for so doing, but immediately stag- gered Maher with a left on the jaw and repeated the blow. When Kennedy came to him again Maher let g0 his left just before the bell. Round 2—Both were more cautious and took things eas] Maher landed a left on the face, and there was no comeback. Sparring and fiddling followed, with Ken- nedy trying lefts, which Peter blocked, and then Maher put his left on the body and his right on the face. This last blow staggered Kennedy, and Maher, seeing his chance, followed quickly, putting his . - R P = ~ the d'a slght call Jack |@ ° S0 S 0 0000 B McCabe, backed from sixes to 7 to 2, was | ¢ ta the best, and after gettung away | o | n d his eld, but was un- | T e e time to beat unsey q T . he saddle, which won | ¢ THE SE%RT by half a length.

In one part of the maller club topsail, the Shamrock was in | brought about by a recently arrived at | belief on the part of Sir Thol as Lipton and the yacht's designer, William Fife, that the Shamrock is *“fit” aloft for the coming contest and that other tests of gail and spar would be superfluous. t *“half-tide” or bout half-past 11 Jock io-morrow the Shamrock will be d. Three hours later the yacht will dry,” as the dock’s pumping engines » cqual to eight feet or so an_ hour, There may be a surprise when the Sham- roc! form below the water line is seen. The keel blocks wera laid yesterday, ac- cording to a docking plan furnished by These blocks show that the k's keel is longer than that of the 'olumbia and that it has a rocker shape. The latter is a decided departure from the usual methods. The Vigilant, Defender and Columbia are straight on the bottom of the keel and early guesses made the Shamrock so. The blocks laid in the dock at Erie Basin e pretty positive proof that guessers of last summer regarding the Shamrock’s design were not well in- formed. The keel of the Shamrock, should any one be fortunate enough to have the chance of measuring it, will be found to be about 27 feet 2 Inches from the end of her lead to the rudder post. Men with mathematical eyves estimated that the o' rocker forward {s about twenty-two inches and aft somewhere near three inches, while the lowest point of the | rocker is about five feet from the rudder | post. | alleged excessive From the shape of the boat near the water the under body bids fair to be a ries of beautifiil curves, such as all yachtsmen are familiar with in boats from the boards of Mr. Fife.

If one should add four or five Inches to the 19 feot 0 inches given the curfously inclined will have the draught of the foreign boat. AcCIDENT OCCURS TO THE YACHT COLUMBIA NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y., Sept. 26.—An- other accident befell the Columbia to-day, making the third which the new cup de- fender has met with while at New Ro- chelle. She started down the Sound for a short spin this afternoon and was out for two hours. When returning to her moor- ings and while salling at a good speed a bobstay suddenly broke. All the rigging and headsalls fell to the deck with a crash, carrying away the spreaders off the bowsprit and weakening the topmast. Confusion reigned. The crew rushed for- ward and gathered in the wreckage, and the boat made her moorings under the mainsail. Captain Barr sald the damage was not serious, but it will probably pre- vent the Columbia from going out for sev- eral days. Sloan’s Mount Unplaced. LONDON, Sept. 26.—At the Newmarket first October meeting to-day the Visitors’ plate of 150 sovereigns was won by Funny Boat. Tod Sloan rode Lord Carnavon's Ma Jeanette, but was unplaced.
