E. E. | Smathers, owner of McChesney, received a telegram from Secretary Boden of the Brighton Beach track, offering a purse of $10,000 for a meeting between the two | colts. As match races are forbidden by the Jockey Club, the rules call for a field including three-year-olds and upward. Smathers wired his acceptance. McChesney was shipped East to-night to be prepared for the race. Everybody here thinks McChesney will win easily | and on the day of the big race Middle Western turfmen will never stop betting on the big fellow until the starter raises | the barrier. Not in years has any equine champlion so completely won the co) fidence of his followers, and local experts do not see where Waterboy will have a ghost of a chance to win. It is believed that, should McChesney not go amiss in the East, he will go to the post a top- heavy favorite. | NEW YORK, July 16—The conditions of | the race between McChesney and Water- boy are as follows: Championship special at weight for age, for horses three years old and_upward, by sub- tion of $500 each, or §50 if declared out by 2 p. m., on Tuesday, July 21; tion to add’ $10.000.

A telegram was at once sent to Chicago notifying Smathers, who wired to accept and take as much as was offer- ed, the money to be put up to-morrow at the track. The Championship Special probably will be the greatest racing event run in Amer- ica. The betting is expected to be the heaviest ever known in the ring, as Sma- thers will be offering his money until the barrfer is sprung, starting the two cracks on their journey. —_——————— TICHENOR STABLE IS SOLD. { Flo Bob, the Star of the Lot, Is Bought by Ed Tipton for $13,000.

The symbols upon early Christian mon- uments, of which so many have been dis- covered this last century, are curious and interestipg. One of the most frequent is that of the fish. The figure of the fish is used, and also the Greek word for fish, says Dr. A. W. Patten, who has looked into the subject. Ramsay, in his excavations in Asla Minor, has found some very Important inscriptions In which the fish signs are frequent. But why was It that the early Chris- tians used this sign? The reason will ap- pear when we remember that they found in the letters of the Greek word for fish an acrostic on the name of the Savior. The word is “ichthu Each letter of the words in the original Greek begins one of the words in the following phrase: “Jesus Christ, Son of God, the Savio: So the word ‘‘ichthus” came to stand for a Christian, and it was used as a mark of Christianity. It was not only sculptured on burial monuments, but came to be used on various utensils. A great many terra cotta lamps have been found, especially at Spalato, on which is found the impress of the fish. Many of these “4chthus” lamps are found also in Rome. The word “fish” came to be used also to describe a Christian, and to call a man a fish was equivalent to calling him a Christian. In one of the old Christian frescoes, in- dicating a baptism, a man is represented as pulling a fish out of the water. Ram- say tells us that {t was customary in Asia Minor in the second century for the | Christian to use this symbolic language. It was hardly safe, then, for them to speak openly of their faith in Christ. They were accustomed to wear rings with the fish sign as a signet, much as we wear symbolic badges to-day. One day two men met, nelther aware of the faith of, the other. One, without saying a word, traced with his stick the figure of a fish in the sand. The other quickly burst out in assertion of his Christlan faith, for the fish symbol had declared the other’s allegiance to Christ. When a man gets off a cheap joke in a public address his hearers grow fran- tic to show approval. When he does a good in gnnfi 1life the applause is longer in 80 cheer- fullv v i Beats Her Namesakse in Forty-Mile Speed Contest. Fluke Saves the Older Craft From a Disgraceful Defeat. —_—— ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. J., July 16.—After a forty-mile leeward and wind- ward race off Sandy Hook lightship to- day Shamrock III led her trial horse to the finish line by six minutes and thirty seconds and won by only fifteen seconds less. In the first half of the race the cup seeker dropped Shamrock I at the rate of sixty-five seconds and more to the mile, but during the run to the outer mark the older boat was the first to catch a new breeze, which sent her along at a pace that slieed nearly three minutes off the challenger’s lead. It was a clear fluke, which, as usual in a run before the wind, favored the stern boat. Shamrock III had beaten the other by nearly two minutes in the first run to leeward, so that the challenger must have lost about five minutes by the fluke. In all she covered twenty miles of windward work seven minutes and eighteen sec- onds faster than the challenger. From a nine-knot breeze at the start the wind dropped to three knots at tne finish, but held west-northwest all day. Summary: Elapsed Start. Finish. time. 18 4:53:04 5:32:46 Shamrock M. Shamrock 1.

(Pacific Coast League.) % akland ...43 (579| Seattle ... 36 42 (576|Portiand .34 Three nice little bingles, coming at the right time as they did in the sixth round of yesterday's battle at Recreation Park, put Uncle’s followers one to the good. After that the Senators never had a look in, so the game came to end with the score 4 to 3. 'Twas a snappy contest, full of ginger and lite. The Senators flelded perfectly and never let a ball get away from them when it left the bat of the home club- bers. But they were in a quandary when- ever they faced Jimmy Whalen. In only one round could they do anything with the stick. Then they made three, but three were not emough to win out with. ‘Whalen was in the real form nearly all the time and pitched ball that would go in anybody's league. He had a burst of speed every once In a while that was the genuine stuff and his curves broke away so fast that seven of the Senators hi nothing but wind in their vain at- tempts to line the ball out of the lot. With Irwin on third in the fourth round, Thomas forgot himself long enough to make a wild pitch, which let in a run. Then all was tranquil till the Senators be gan to get into the going during the sixth. McLaughlin singled and Egan bunted. Irwin threw the ball wide to Pabst and McLaughlin scooted around to third and Egan alighted on the middle sack. Sheehan tore a torrid one past Delmas and both runners landed at the rubber. Then Hogan made good with another out to center and this brought Sheehan home with the last run -.of the game for the Senators. The home talent made its gallant stand in its half of the same round. Shay was given a pass to first, but Meany forced him at second, and the prospects for three runs were anything but bright. But Ir- win sent Meany down to second with a nice drive to right field and Tommy Leahy brought him home by smashing the leather to the same place. Irwin landed on third and he and Leahy neatly worked the double steal. Pabst's out by the short and first process scored Irwin and a moment later Graham let one of Thomas' swift ones go through him and this was enough to let Leahy amble hor. - with the last run of the game. score: The Sacramento— San Francisco— .

Those who delight in war and blood- shed, with their accompaniment of thrill- or those, even tional and do- mestic controversies settled by arbitra- tion, have reason to rejoice that when Congress, a few years ago, had inserted a provision in the Naval Appropriation bill that repairs to all wooden vessels should be discontinued, it excepted the famous old ships Hartford and Kear- sarge. Since then the Kearsarge has met the fate of so many other ships, having been wrecked .on a reef In the Caribbean Sea. But the old Hartford, in commis- sion, with her officers and crew on board and in their distinctive and fascinating uniforms, and the ship with her lofty and symmetrical masts and spars and her sails furled, and every rope in place, has been most interesting to visitors during her recent visit to the navy yard. She is now on the records as doing duty in the Coast Squadron and has left the navy yard and gone to Annapolis. The old ship is a different looking ves- sel, so far as the interior is concerned, from the one which Farragut commanded at the battles on the Mississippl River in 1862, and at Mobile Bay in 1884. And yet, although there is little left of the old ship beyond her keel and frame and name, she has not lost her outward iden- tity, and any of those who were famillar with her in the days of the Civil War would recognize her now. She was orig- inally a steam vessel, or sloop-of-war, of 2900 tons displacement, and was built at Boston in 1858. She has the same grace- ful and symmetrical lines that she pre- sented on that hot summer day when she led the wooden fleet past the guns of Fort Morgan, in 1864, at the battle of Mobile Bay, when Farragut won another of his great victories and colned the phrase that has gone «lown Into history, when he called out to thd commander of the Brooklyn (who had hauled his ship out of the line when he saw one of the mon- itors go down by an explosion of a tor- pedo), “Damn the torpedoes; go ahead!” The famous old ships have all gone ex cept the Hartford, and she is destined to remain afloat so long she can be kept in a seaworthy condition, so as to remind the present and future generations of the kind of ships and the manner of men their ancestors were in the days when men and ships were needed to preserve the nation.—N.

Lynch for Sheriff Looks Certain. United Republican League Presidents Hold a Conference. —_— The Republican municipal convention to be held September 15 will not be short of material for the ticket. Several of the present local office holders of the party are already In the fleld for remomination and the list of new candidates for the fa- vor of the convention is daily growing larger. There is promise of an interest- ing contest for the lucrative office of Sheriff. Indications are that many dis- trict delegations partial to the indorse- ment of Henry H. Lynch will be success- ful at the primary election on August 1L Mr. Lynch is well known throughout the city. He is popular and has influential friends in every one of the eighteen As- sembly districts. He is openly in the fleld as a candidate for the nomination of Sheriff and if he does not succeed In winning the prize his supporters will be greatly surprised.
