A cooling breeze made the weather bear- | able, and the crowd was made up largely of members of the gentler sex. Monroe B, driven by F.

The conditions of the John Grace chal- lenge stake, which is to be run at Union Coursing Park on October 18 and 19, were changed at a meeting of the Interstate Coursing Club last Wednesday evening. Instead of a sixty-four-dog stake, as in former vears, and a $30 entrance fee, the stake will be a forty-eight-dog affai 825 will be the fee. This was decided” on because of the unsettled state of affairs in this city. The rule governing the payment of fees was $10 down and $15 to be paid the night of the drawing. Ten minutes. after the committee had reported on the size of the stake forty-eight nominations were made, but these will not be made public for a few days. The drawing for this classic stake will take place on the evening of October 16. This stake is the biggest in America and is an annual event in cours- ing circles. —_—— Three new railway lines are to be con- structed on the eastern and northeastern shores of the Baitic Sea. - o .

Sixteen men were on hand when play was called, and nearly all are experts with the racket. The poorer players evidently figured that with so many cracks entered they would stand but little chance getting anywhere, and consequently stayed out. Three of the men from the south drew in the lower half, while Braley is in the upper half and will probably be Bob Whitney's opponent in the semi-finals. Bmith and Murdock are the only two northern men left in the lower half. ‘When play was stopped yesterday after- noon seven men were still in the ranks to fight for first honors. Bob Whitney has reached the semi-finals and will play the winner of -the Braley-Hunt match. In the lower half the winner of the Bell- Smith match will play the winner of the Murdock-Sinsabaugh match. The win- ners of thedse ml(ch{u will play in the turday morning, nxi:utgg first match of the day Frank Stringham defeated C. C. Brackin In straight sets. Score, 6—1, 6—2, 6—3. While this match was being played Reuben Hunt took three sets out of four from Fred Brown. The match was very evenly contested, and at several stages of the game Brown' looked to be a winner, but he failed at critical times and his oppo- nent won out 6—1, 3—8, 6—4, 8—8. S. Sinsabaugh proved much too strong for Clay Gooding, whom he defeated 6—2, 62, . Hendricks, who has a bad knee, figured that he had little chance of beat- ing Bell, and in order to make the lat- ter's chances of winning better he de- faulted. 1In the afternoon two very exciting con- tests were running at the same time. On one court Bob Whitney. and W. B. Collier were the contestants, while on the other Merle Johnson and Grant Smith were op- osed to each other. Whitney changed Ris Style of play, and instead of driving everything played a safe chop game, which enabled him to win from his club- mate. Tho Bast BHE NS Sectnn only one set to his opponent’s three. The score in Whit- ney's favor was 6—3, 6—3, 3—6, 6—2. In the other match Johnson fought des- perately and was out to win, while Smith played indifferently, seeming to care lit- tle whether he won or lost. The match flnall_r Wwent to the latter, the score being 63, 79, 62, 91, Harold Bul* had little difficulty in beat- ing Charles Kuehn, whom he outclassed considerably.

The score in Braley’s fa- vor was 6—1, 60, 6-—3. b The last match’ of the first round was between Percy Murdock and Drummond McGavin. ~ The latter played a great game in the doubles, and it was thought that he would beat Murdock easily, but he absolutely refused to try. Murdock won the match in straight sets 6—3, 64, 6=0. McGavin, who is a brilliant piayer, has the name of being a rank quitter, and he certainly lived up to his reputation yesterday. "His main desire seemed to be to get through with the match as soon as possible. The only match g{layed in tHe second round was between R. N. Whitney and F. Stringham. = The former, who won 61, 6—3, 6—2, is now in the semi-finals. The best match of to-day will be be- tween Alfonso Bell, the champion of Southern California, and Grant, Smith, one of San Franeisco’s best pla{yers. The odds are all in favor of the former, as Smith has figured in four hard matches in the last two days, while Bell has had to Klay but one. A large crowd will be on hand to witness the match, and a great battle is anticipated. The match will be played at 10:30 a. m.

BORALMA LOSES TOLORD DERBY Five Heats Necessary to Decide the Hard - Contest. —— HARTFORD. Conn., Sept. 5.—A big crowd at Charter Oak Park this after- noon witnessed the defeat of Thomas Lawson's celebrated gelding Boralma by C. J. Hamlin's Lord Derby. The race be- tween these two was one of the finest of the vear, and it was only after five heats had been trotted that the Boston favorite's colors were lowered. | The betting on the race, the free-for-all | trot, was very heavy. The starters ‘were | Boralma, Lord Derby and The Monk. As much as §90,000 went into the pool. Bor- | alma was a tremendous favorite before the start at odds of 3 to 1. His backers | seemed to think he could not lose. Ed | Geers was up behind Lord Derby. Jamee G. Gatcomb dyove Boralma and M. B McHenry held the lines over The Monk. In the first heat Boralma led at the quarter by a lemgth, with Lord Derby | second and The Monk third.

Boralma took the heat easily from The Monk, and Leord Derby was just outside the distance, Boralma was made the pool favorite at 100 to 40 for the field. At the quarter Boralma led Lord Derby by a length and retained this to the half. On the lower turn Lord Derby made an irresistible burst of speed, passed Boralma, and go- ing strongly won the heat by an open length. Lord Derby was again made a favorite at 4 to 1. As in the second heat, Lord Derby broke at the turn and was simply driven to save his distance. Bor- alma was lapped all the way in this heat by The Monk and won by a short length. Lord Derby still remained the favorite, and, keeping his feet all the way, had lt- tle difficulty in taking the last heat and the race.

CROWD THINKS FIGHT LOOKS LIKE A JOB Kid McFadden Gets Decision in the Seventh Round on a Foul by Smith. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 5—The fight at Oak Park to-night between Kid McFad- den and Solly Smith was considerable of a flasco. There was no real fighting worth mentioning on either side. Smith seemed to think that he ‘could do more effective work butting with his head than by using his fists. and his methods called forth much disapproval from the large crowd of spectators. Smith began foul- ing in the second round and went down once without being struck. The referee, however, compelled him_ to fight. The contest was awarded to McFadden in the seventh round on a foul by Smith. The crowd expected to see a good fight, and the suspicion was freely expressed that the affair had the sembiance of a put-up job.
