It wasa success in every respect. The pacing race to-day was a disappointment. China Maid, Al Sandy, Montanic and El Rayo were scratched, The race was a gift to Toppy, who was barred in the pool. No race during ‘the week excited more inter- est than the district road race. The de- cision in- the third heat disqualifying Smuggler created great dissatisfaction. The mile run was a pretty race from wire to wire, between Limber Jim and McFar- lane. Jennie Dale balked at the first turn and was taken off the track. The three- quarter dash was a great race, three horses finishing half a length apart. The automobile race was declared off, the boiler of one machine being out of order. J. 8.

RIFLE AND REVOLVER MEN IN COMPETITION International Contest Assumes an Importance Since American Scores Are Registered. NEW YORK, Aug. 8L—From early morning until after sundown to-day the rifie and revolver marksmen were busy on the Seagirt ranges. Several contests were decided, the principal one being that at 1000 yards for the Wimbledon cup, for which American citizens only were eligi- ble. Captain W. B. Martin of Trenton, N. J., won the cup with 137 points out of a possible ). The Irish rifie shooters watched the American marksmen closely during the contest, 80 as to get a line on their work in anticipation of what they may expect to meet in their special match next Fri- day. The scores of the leaders were very good, but the general opinion prevalils that the Irish visitors are much superior in execution. Some of them shot at the 900 and 1000 yards ranges to-day and one of the American marksmen said that their performance was scientific and almost perfect. Six teams of five men each took part in the revolver team match, which was won by the representatives of Light Bat- tery A of Boston. Their total score was 59 points. In the interclub match for the Schuetzen team championship of the Unit- ed States the honors went to the first’ team of the Zettler Rifle Club of New York City, with a total of 282 points. In the Schuetzen matches on the Stand- ard American and German ring tugets lub, Michael Dorrler of the Zettler Rifle New York, led all the other contestants with 137 points on the former and 209 points on the latter target. A special all-comers’ match has been arranged, which is to be shot in two stages at 800, 900 and 1000 yards. FBach man is to have ten shots at each distance in each stage. The first stage will be shot’ on Monday, September 9, and the second stage will take place on the third day. Most of the Irishmen will take part. Beats a Big and Choice Field of Futurity Candidates and Annexes the Richest of Class Stakes for John E. Madden. B o sl -+ - 1 MADDEN'S RACER YANKEE, WINNER OF THE RICH FUTURITY STAKE, THE GREAT EVENT OF YESTERDAY AT SHEEPSHEAD BAY, WHICH WAS WITNESSED BY A CROW® OF OVER THIRTY THOUSAND LOVERS QF SPORT AND PATRONS OF THE TURF. L5 EW YORK, Aug. 31.—John E. Madden's Yankee, at 4 to 1 in the Letting, wen the classic Futurity at Sheepshead Bay to- day, the richest fixture on the American turf. He won driving by a length and a half from what was perhaps the best and nighest class fleld which ever ran for the stake. Lux Casta was second, while Barron finished third. It was a great race; and nobly won, and a record breaking crowd of 30,000 people stood up in their excitement and wildly cheerec the victor. The day was perfect for an outing and thousands of lovers of the thoroughbred were on hand to lend their voices to hail the winner of tbe great race. Society was out in force and the big grand stand was packed to overflowing, while the broad lawns and infleld were black with people. All the celebrities of the sporting world were on hand and every walk of life seemed to be represented. The track was fast and all the conditions favorable for a true run race. Three races were de- cided before the Futurity, but the interest was plainly in the classic fixture, and the crowd waited impatiently to see the start of the 2-year-old parade past the stand on the way to the post. The betting ring was a seething mass of humanity. The layers of odds were besieged and a flood of money poured in. It was almost im- possible to fight one’s way near enough to the layers to get a bet down. The rank and flle could see nothing in the race but the Whitney entries, Nastur- tium and King Hanover, and opening at 9 to 5 they were quickly played down to 7 to 5 and 13 to 10. The Madden horses, Yankee and Gun Fire, were a strong second cholce at 4 to 1, but the feeling was not so strong for this combination whea Blue Girl was scratched. Heno and De Reszke had a strong following at 10 to 1, while Barron, the much touted maiden, and Lux Casta.were also well played at 12 and 15 to 1. respectively. The others ranged in price from 20 to 25 to 1, scattering bets being made on all of hem. s In the paddock the scene was a pretty one. The candidates were being saddled and fitted for the struggle and a big crowd watched the final touches. They were a noble looking lot of thoroughbreds as they moved restlessly around, as fit as careful hands could make them. Gold- smith, Blue Girl and Carroll_D had been scratched, but Homestcad, Broad Street and Utoplan were added, so a fleld of nineteen paraded past the grand stand and cantered up to the post, far up the old Futurity chute. First came King Hanover and Nastur- tium, in the blue and brown cap of Wil- liam C. Whitney. Next followed Yankee, in the cherry and white hoops of John E. Madden, and the racy looking son of Han- over-Correction, for whom Madden paid $20,000 as a yearling, brought out words of praise from many lips. Almost every horse was applauded as he pranced along —Fly Wheel, in Perry Belmont's colors; Hyphen, Barron, Heno and Lux Casta at- tracting chief attention after the Whitney and Madden candidates. Only at the post the crowd settled down to walt for the flag. Eyes were strained to watch the maneuvering for a start, but except for those with strong glasses it was a confused mass, the colors not even being distinguishable. There were two false breaks and the big crowd was getting impatient for the word, when sud- denly the famillar cry of ‘‘They're off!"” rang through the stand. It seemed to electrify the crowd. At first it was a wild scramble for position. Saturday was the first to show, with King Hanover, Hyph- en, Yankee and De Reszke close at his heels. It was a good start for all except Heno, who wheeled as the flag fell and was practically left. At top speed they came to the bend into the main track like a line of cevalry and at that point all eyes could see the blue with the brown fcap of Mr. Whitney's King Hanover on the rail and a short neck before Pentecost. Lux Casta, Yankee, De Reszke, Caugh- nawaga and Barron were well up and the most prominent’ of the others as they flashed past the half mark. To every one’s surprise, however, Nasturtium, the pride of the Whitney stable, was way back in_the ruck. Into the last furlong they came for the heart-breaking dash to_the wire. Klnfi Hanover was gradually dropping back an Odom sent Lux Casta to the front, close- ly followed by Pentecost, Yankee, De Reszke and Barron. ‘“The favdrite is beaten!” walled the crowd. *“Lux Casta wins!” shrieked those who were over- anxious to announce the result. But the Irace was not over yet. O'Connor used his whip on Yankee and the colt, respond- ing in the gamest manner, quickened his stride and foot by foot crept up on the flying leader. Odom was hard at work with whip and spur on Lux Casta in an < effort to earn the coveted honors, bui Yarkee, with long, even strides, was not to be denfed. A hundred yards from the wire the two were head and head. Lux Casta hung on gamely and for a few strides neither could claim an advantage. It was a stirring struggle, a bitter fight, and the monster crowd was cheering and shouting. Then came the cry ‘‘Yankee wins!”” as foot by foot he drew away and passed under the wire a length and a half in front. Lux Casta was an easy second and Barron, closing with a rush, earned third money by a head from De Reszke. Then came Pentecost, King Hanover, Gun Fire and the others. Nasturtium was tenth and far back. The time was 1:09 1-5, Then came the usual scene. The band played “Yankee Doodle,” the crowd hail- ed the winner and his jockey, O’Connor, took his place in the floral horseshoe. The Futurity of 191 was a matter of his- tory and long will live the name of its gallant winner. The stake was worth $36,910 to the win- ner. The second horse earned $4166 66, and the third horse $208335. Two thousand dollars went to the breeder of the winner, $1250 to the breeder of the second horse and $500 to the breeder of the third horse. The total stake was $46,910. A. Feather- stone, whose jockey rode the winner, got 25 per cent of the winner’s share for al- lowing O’Connor to ride. William C. Whitney also had some balm in the fact that he owns a half interest in Yankee, although it was a keen disappointment not to see his colors in front. Those at the start say Nasturtium was off well, but jumped at a dark spot in the track, losing time and being shut out.

One and all voted it the greatest tennis ever played by women in this part of the country, and the game put up by the new champion was probably equal to the champion women players of the United States. There has been a doubt lurking in the minds of some dur- ing the week as to Miss Sutton’s ability to beat Miss Marion Jones, but that doubt | ‘was dispelled yesterday in the champion- Sutton was 60, 6—2, 6—2. Although the score looks rather one- sided, the last two sets were closely con- tested. In the first set Miss Hall tried to play at the net but was passed repeatedly. She was able to obtain only eight points in the entire set, and five of them in the last game. This will give a good idea of the wonderful game put up by the winner. In the second set both ladies from the back court throughout, and con- sequently the rallles were much longer than in the first set. Miss Hall did very much better in this set and obtained many more points. Miss Sutton’s driving was phenomenal for its accuracy and brought forth great applause from the spectators. Her headwork was very much better yesterday than at any time during the week. Miss Sutton took this set, 6—2. In the last set Miss Hall started out well, taking the first game, but her opponent steadied down and soon ran the score up to 3—1 in her favor. Miss Hall won the next game, and it began to look as if the last set would be very close, but the next three games and match. went to Miss Sutton. Miss Hall certainly tried hard to stave off defeat and played the game of her life, but the little southern champion was not to be denied. Miss Hall is a very small and frail girl, and throughout the match was greatly handicaped by a lack of strength. the court and Miss Suttor was able to do as she pleased with them. On the other hand, Miss Sutton is short but of power- ful build, and her driving and smashing are very speedy. Miss Hall was a trifie nervous during the three sets, buf Miss Sutton, confldent that she could not lose and knowing her own ability, was per- fectly cool. One could not help but ad- mire the pluck of Miss Hall. The prizes were distributed as follows: Champlonship of the coast in doubles: Misses May and Violet Sutton: runners up, Misses Miriam Hall and Alice Hoff- man. Mixed doubles championship, George Whitney and Miss Hall: runners up, U. B. Collier and Miss May Sutton. ‘Women's singles championship and tour- nament, Miss May Sutton: runner up, Miss Ethel Sutton. Consolation for one first beaten by winner of singles tourna- ment, Miss Violet Sutton. All of the prizes but three were loving cups. The singles challenge cup was won for the first time last year and Miss Sutton’s name is the second to be_inscribed. three times for absolute property. At present it looks as if the cup would re- | main south for many years, as all four sisters outclass any other women on the coast.

This first tack of the wind ward work brought the yacht alr to Stapleton. Two more short tacks pu her through the Narrows. Afterward he brought her out to Coney Island Point.
