CURDIOK MAKES A BIG RECORD Only Ono Hit Miulo Off Him and Tlmt a Scratch Beautiful Fluldlng All Around Yesterday' * Sporting Events. Oinnha Jl , Chicago O. The'Omahas played another great game yesterday afternoon , perfection itself , barring a fumble by Miller of hard hit grounder In the fourth. That was the homo team's only error in the entire gamo. It was a beautiful struggle to look at , If It hadn't been for Power's miserable umpiring , which on sev eral occoslbni threatened to offset the Omahas fine work. Ho was roundly and deservedly hlsscdi His decisions , declaring O'Cdnnoll ' out at second nnd Mcssltt at third , wcro , In the vcnacular of the street , , "rotten. " And then , too , he gave the local players decidedly the worst of It on both balls and strikes , and Seemed chagrined over their marvelous per formances In preventing the frantic rodlogs from crossing the plate despite his manifest Intention to assist them to do so. The young man probably means right , and ho shall hnvo the benefit of the doubt , but no ono can say but that his umpiring yesterday was of the yellowest hue. However , everything panned out nil O. K. In the end , nnd the largo crowd dispersed contented and happy , for again our own RllUcdgo team succeeded in whitewash ing the visitors for nine straight innings. The pitching of Burdlck was superb , as fine fan exhibition of good , heady , scientific twirlIng - Ing ns was ever seen in these parts. Up to the very lost man in the very last inning , ho had the Chlcagos closed out without a hit. But right hero Mr. Crogan Inserted nls un canny person and succeeded In scratching out n little hit , which struck Burdlck on the uhln and richochcttcd off over toward Doran , allowing him to reach first in safety , but pnly on another very rocky decision of Pow ers. ers.But hero is the story : For a starter Bums flow out to Morlarity , Mcssltt struck out and Annls retired from ihort to first. It was nlso one , two , three for tlio visitors , Long being thrown out by Coonev to O'Connol ' , Crogan on a grounder to first , and Lange suwea the air. In the second O'Connell went out from Dwyer to first , Miller drove a * safe ono to center , Cooney sot down on a long fly to loft , Doran got his base on bolls , and Burdlck Btruclc out. In the Chicago's half Burdick was obliged to pitch but five balls Hooks re tiring from pitch to first , Morlarity on a pop- i to second , and Hcnglo on a long foul fly Messilt , which "Scrappy Jack" took in ยง ignificcnt style while running at a brcak- ck pace. In the third Gustfiold , Burns and ( iTcssitt were speedily disposed of , as was Ingraham , Hanahan aud Dwycr. the latter going out on a dandy catch by Miller , Juhcn nicety while running with tlio ball. In the succeeding inning Annis wont out from short to first. Then O'Connell drove one of his whiskered beauties along tlio ground over the first bag. Ho quickly stole second , only to bo put out a moment latter pn a rank decision of the umpire. Miller flew put to center. For the windy men , Long Btruck out , Crogun died from Miller to Q'Connoll , but Lange reached first on n fumble by Miller , and stole second , the only ptonl they made in the game. Hooks wus given bis base on balls , but Morlarity was extinguished on a long fly to Annis , who , ivhllo i-unuiug with the ball at Ills fullest 9pccd reached out and pulled it down with ono hand. It was the greatest play of the Reason , and oh , dear , now the crowd did Strain there lungs. Annis was compelled to floff his cap a half dozen times , for his miracu lous catch saved the day. The hit was a clean | iaino-runner. . In the. fifth Cooney , Doran and Burdick re Llrcd in quick succession , and so did Hcngle , n graham and Hanahan. Five innings aud no run on cither side , lie crowd wus growing feverish , and a .Hence . thick enough to cut hung like a pall vor the park. In the sixth Gastfield went out from short o first ; then Burns hit a vicious one at .hort . , who gathered it up in time , mt throw it wild , to Crogan , nnd Jurns perched safe on first. The people ple clapped their hands and feebly shouted , lut when Mcssitt hit ono to Dwyer , nnd that cntleman accommodatingly threw wild to Jrogan , they fairly split their throats , for Suriis galloped all the way homo and Messitt ivent to second on the uluy. A aln they jhrieked and whooped as Jok scooted down jto third on a passed ball. Auuls now came jip and banged a little onu to Dwycr , who , instead of shooting it to first , turned and bought Mcssltt oft of third. The ngilu Jack , however , cot buck in safety , but the umpire wouldn't have it so , and ho wont over aud curled up on the bench. Then Mr. Powers got roasted. O'Connell followed with a high fly , which pwyer iuKloriously mufFcd , and Annis ran to third in the confusion that followed. O'Con- poll stole second , but both were left , Miller letiriiiK the side in a high fly to right. But Omaha had one run , and u fecliug of Security took possession of the crowd that was lovely to behold. Foe Chicago , Dwyer , Long and Crogan Went out , Just as cosy as the plurisy , The lucky seventh was now reached , and in this the Ouiahogs clinched their victory by lidding two moro tallies to their scoro. 2ooney banged a safe ono to center , stole iceond , of course , and scored a 'moment liter on Burdick'u corker to right , Derail mvlng died In the meantime. Burdick got iccoiul on the throw in to catch Cootiey oil ' lilt. Then Gastilold smashed thu jail at Mickey Hiumlmn , who throw to first , vlio lot it get by him and Burdick came lomo , while Uustihllu went to second , and to .hlrd while Beems was being retired by Dwyer nnd CroKun. Ho was loft here , how- bvcr , Mcssctt going out from Dwyer to Cro- pau. pau.Again it was ouo. two , throe for Chicago , tango , Hooks and Ah There Moriurlty being tlio artists In the pli y. In the eighth Annls' hit was muffed by Ilaimhin.anil ho stole second nnd went down | o thlm on a pass ball. O'Connell wont out pn a fly to right , Miller gat his base ou balls , huickly following it up by n steal of second. It looked llko u run or two more. But it ivnsn't to bo , for Coonoy nnd Dornn Immcdi- htely retired on long files to right and center. For .Chlcapo one , two , three , Hughes , In- graham uud Hnnohun. In the last inning the Omahas wcro quickly foUred and the Windy city men came in for thfclr last chauco. Dwyer went out from IhiriUo first , as' did Long also , and then the lust man faced Burdlck , who as yet hadn't \fcn \ hit safe , once. Everybody wanted to see him mnko n clean record , and it looked us if it wus a gift , but u.t the second ball pitched Crogun lilt u swift pno ut.tUo ptcherand | It struck his log und rluncod att.allo\ving the runner to make Irst nnd secure the credit of the only hit in lie gamo.

' ] PAWS , May 10. [ Now York Hornld Cable Special to TUB UnK.1 1 have Interviewed several American nnd French artists upon the salon. Painters criticizing cnch other always talk Interestingly. Walter Gay , whoso character of subjects mvo already , made a mark , la of tlio opinion Hint this year's salon-is n fair average , but ho ndils that no particular work stands out for i medal. Tlio dominant note of this salon Is ts conscientious nnd painstaking workmen. E. L. Weeks , n pupil of Bonnat , and noted especially for his Indian pictures , considers hat the chief merit of the salon of 1SSS lies n Its landscapes. He thinks If there is a 'ailing off It Is amongst , the known painters vho have boon overwhelmed with orders for Bublliuo pot boilers. Mr. Henry Bacon , n pupil of Cabanol's , I * convinced that the Paris salon Improves every year. The progress lies chiclly in the exact- 1039 of dctull which leads to a greater amount of technicality. Mr. Alexander Harrison , a pupil of Bastion o PORO , says that on the ilrst day the salon appeared to him very flimsy , but ou oxnnilu- ng a second tlmo ho found it much bettor. ts chief characteristic was a high order of mediocrity. American artists certainly couio out very well. Mr. Charles Forbesa pupil of Carolus 3uruu , nays his general impression of the salon of 1833 is favorable. Ills visits have icon hasty ones and his judgments arc nec essarily of n fugitlvo order. lie would llko , lowovcr , to say ho thinks American artists mvo been treated very fairly as regards the reception and hanging of their pictures. The nodal is only an honor paid to the few. It may bo looked upon father as a picco of flat- ery than u teat of the absolute merit of the competitor. Mr. Charles 8. Roinhart , whoso name Is a lousohola word In Franco-American art , said u his genial way that ho would llko to bo able to express bis opinion in a blunt way. llr. Uclnhart opines that on the whole the salon is bad in France. The American only lias a right to spend money to lent n painting ljutho musn't paint anything saleable or soil it when painted. "As an American , " said Mr. Rcinhart , "I am ashamed of a legislation , hat Imposes duty upon art , and as an artist [ regret that pork and-picturoi should cause confusion. " ' { Walter MacEwau' , ( Who would not own to icing a pupil of anybody and who Is certainly a marvelous exponent not only of modern 3utch llfo but its J&dblior phases in Now York , thinks that thbftrst Impression of this gear's salon is the absence of anything strik- ng. Great paintcr&adolivcr their annual goods in the usual way. Miss Elizabeth X "Gardner , a pupil of ; LJouguercaux and Lo Fovro , who exhibits "Les Deux Meres.1 ? a pathetic domestic scene , was disinclined ! to express a general opinion but certainly thinks it higher in tone ; han last year. Mia's pardnor added , "As I get older and stuilyinore deeply I become more reverent and ] 'Doss captious. I have been to the salon tiirbo time * . There are less horrors , less of triviaclty and more * * ' truth. " ' Another lady artist , Miss Eleanor Groat- orex , n pupil of Henner , who Is noted for her Italian scenes , takes a favorable view of tno salon although she does not think that a woman's opinion on art subjects can bo very weighty. She is chiefly Impressed by the absence of the blood and horror schools anil by the tendency to tonu down sheer sensa tionalism. Miss Grcatorex is pleased to see her countryman and countrywomen steadily progressing. Mr. Eugene Laurent Vail , n pupil of Cabancl , and noted for ULs successful sea pieces , thinks that the salou of 18S3 presents a much bettor general appearance than might have been expected considering the nearness of next year's exhibition for which so many artists are reserving themselves , So much for American opinion. Among French painters , M. Alfred C. F. do Caen , a puril of Do Colling and Cornier , noted for his animal and buttle pictures , said : "This year's salon is wanting in the imagination. Open air pilntlng and portraits have taken the place formerly occupied by historical pictures , which are souvenirs for the old and useful studies for the young. " Horace Vor- net nnd Millet , who wore the glories of their time are , according to M. do Caen , super seded by a superficial school of brush pho tography , quite unequal to the master pieces , that are now forgotten. M. Torello Anolllotl , a pupil of the Florence - - enco academy , whoso marine and figure paint ings have been much noticed , thinks the salon more attractive to artists than to the general public. Polouso and Detaillo have uover done better. The arrangement of pictures is cruelly faulty , many gems being absolutely lost to the visitor from the fact of their being overpowered by larger and more brilliantly colored pictures. Aim yet the salon of 1833 is essentially onu of tiny can vasses which contain much more art than their larger neighbors. Mmo. Hermenco Horace del Brenner , like a diffident woman with u true artist's soul , was timid about expressing an opinion on this year's salon. Shu discerns , as every body must discern , a higher ideal. The landscapes show vast improvement , and the result of the artists' outdoor wprk proves the teaching of the celebrated masters to bo cor rect , although practliyUy they have boon too long neglected. Thi tjsachlng consisted of being a disciple of nHufe { before all things , M. Emanuel BomjOr'Avns. ' of the opinion that this year's saloj/'jilvps / proof of much more talent than UiuJipf : lust year , There nro fewer medlocrwf pictures. Americans have given proof oft l-xcoptional brilliancy and earnest work , tyf-y takp to themselves all thu good imints jjifiilied Into them by their masters but they still rotuin an origin ality which bids f iih to make them rank among the first nrtlsti'i/f / tbp world. M. Augusto AUoii'p'a | pupil of Cognlet who Is ncknowlodgtujiq bo n superior land scape painter , doeswnot think this year's salon U un improvement upon former years. It contains uomo voryr/fflpd / works but , with the exception of som6 twenty or thirty pic tuies , there Is nothing tq call forth un execs alvo amount of admiration , M. Tony Robert rjeufy is satisfied with tic present salon. It la the result of what may bo called artistic 'revolution. The mark of to-day Is sincere seeking after truth. Painters of tbp hour are proven by the ex perience of their predecessors. Landscape palnUir.s paint from nature instead of con tenting tliomsolvcs with photographs , Thor ] open air liguros arc painted ou the spot with the jeal effects of light and shade only to bo obtained in this w > % Tis | | entails more labor , but the trouble is repaid by the artistic- result , M , Floury thinks that , Americans are making great progress. They are steady hard workers , with much latent talent. Mr , Eugene Ballangv , n pupil qf Picot , Bfid JI , Ballan 9 , another wcll-fcuown battlefield > rush , Ihink that this year's onion shows signs of feebleness ns compared with that of :8S7. : His decided opinion , however , Is that the American clement Is annually showing greater strength and undoubted talent. MHo Loulso Abbona , a pupil of Chaplain , ilcnncr and Carolus Duran and the painter this year of a portrait of her friend , the ill- vine Sarnh'.s jucco , said "My opinion of this vcare salon might bo summed up In the words 'c'est bon. ' I llko to sco nn evidence of hard , earnest work. Of this there Is far moro than in former years. I think American artists are very well treated lioro. Yes , they arc certainly disciples of the French masters , nud their progress is nn homage to French nrt. 13ut why does their government tax [ iloturcs from Francol Vengeance and pork , what nn unartlstlc Idea. Perhaps ns a woman [ nm not entitled to speak on fiscal questions , tint I must confess It looks like a desecra tion. " M. .Tcnn Jacques Henner , the painter of "St. Sobatlnn , " said , "Tho Herald U asking me a very delicate question. Lot mo begin by snylng that thcro is no such thing ns an average for artists. The public looks at the thing from what maybe bo called nn aggregate point of viow. It counts up the remarkable work * on Its fingers and Wants to judge nn annual collection from that standpoint. Now this U n mistake. To a competent judge every salon Is aliko. It consists of a multitude of good , earnest pictures , the emanation of truly ar tistic souls nnd n limited sprinkling of infer * iially bad ones. " M. Charles Chapln said : "I have only paid a cursory visit or two to Lo the salon and 1 emphatically say that it Is worse than over. It Is a disgrace to Franco. I think that painters capable of good work should not send in such cart loads of rubbish and then call It n representative exhibition of French nrt. The fact Is they devote neither care nor attention to the salon. Many of the pictures were only commenced a few weeks before receiving and then pitched in simply because It is in the fashion to bo exhibited at the salon. The young girls who want to get married must have a salon picture nlonp with , their wedding presents. The subjects of the pictures exhibited with the exception of those of a few real artists nro only chosen for the mar ket nnd to plcaso the public. Art is quite a secondary consideration. Unless certain painters look sharp they will find that their names will bo as transient as those certain authors who only look for n sensation and several editions nnd whose trash will not last half n generation. That is my opinion of this year's salon which Is full of unnecessary daubs croutos. " M. Edouard Detaillo , the well known painter of military subjects , gave it as his opinion that the salon of 1833 is chiefly marked by more earnest seeking after vorac ity as distinguished from effects or from , the still more pernicious system of following and pandering to the popular mind. Tlio classifi cation of pictures Is becoming n positive ne cessity. There should bo large rooms for colossal pictures and tiny ones must bo ro le gated to smaller rooms. Landscapes should bo all together and portraits also. It is absurd to sea small pictures in the stately vestibule crowded In between huge decorative paint ings and dwarfed accordingly. Last of all I interviewed ono of the great modern masters M. W. A. Bougercau , a member of the institute and the p.iinterof "Adam and Eve Wailing Over Their Son Abel , " in this year's salon. Ho said : < fl think there is nothing marked about the exhi bition. " "The question of relative merits , " ho added smilingly , "Is a very ticklish ono to answer. You journalists are always wanting some thing absolute. There Is a great deal of good work in the salon. 'Some of it is remarkable. I am not now speaking in the erroneous , pop ular sense which made these annual shows bettor or worse on the lines of there being more or less striking or sensational works. In this year there will probably bo no medal awarded. Why ? Simply bccauso there are several works of sufficient excellence to com pete for it. Believers in ono or the other will only vote for that particular canvas and it is just likely that neither will obtain the necessary quota of votes of the Jury. But docs that show a falling oft in the salon ) On the contrary , the more numerous tlao works of extraordinary merit the leas chances of anyone ono obtaining vho medal. " A RIVAL GALLEUY. A Now One Opened in London in Op position to tlio Grotivcnor. ICnjiyriglit t S81ivJnmeii'JniilonSennctt.\ \ Loxhox , May 10. [ Now York Herald Cable Special to THK Ben. I The now gal lery , a sworn rival of the Grosvcnor , opened its doors to-day in Regent street to the gen eral public. The public went in only moder ate numbers. It is a charming little place , small , cool , nnd not capable of being over crowded. In the gallery nro . ' 150 paintings. Famous artists are not wanting among the exhibitors. Thcro are Alma Tadcmu , R. A. , who has six small pieces ; Buriio Jones , A , U. A. , who has no fewer than eight ; Horklmor , A. R. A. , with live ; Millais with two : Watts , R. A. , with ono , and others. On the whole it Is an exhibition well worth visiting. I was Jortuuata enough to obtain a tow views Iron ) Sir John Milluis , whom it Is dllHcult to interview. Ho was scon at his residence near the Palace gato. Ho received mo in his studio , the walls of which are hung with gobelin tapestries , nnd containing easels and screens bearing the artist's handiwqi'k ; a choice Vandyke over the mantel and n largo Velasqucs opposite. "No , " said Sir John , laughing , "I rarely go to exhibitions. I have enough of that sort of thing without seeing it. Then I can't stand the crowds. Still , although I have not been inside , I know oil most certain author ity that the now gallery contains u choice and valuable collection of paintings , but I re gret that u division has taken plaoo. It wil 1 injure both galleries , nud 1 doubt if this new venture will prove a financial tmccuss , much as I dosira it. There is onu good thing about it , that the pictures nro not huddled together cheek by Jowl m ttioy are at , the academy. I was much amused at the criticism In ono of to-day's papers on my two pieces in the now gallery. The writer was evidently greatly dissatisfied with them , Now , I know when I do good work ns well as anyone , nnd 1 have never done anything bettor than that very amo 'Last Rose of Summer , ' to which my friend objects so seriously. I never know quite what to make of critics , nnd BO I sot * dom read them. Ono condemns whllo the other applauds. Half of them are broken down artists. " Asked about the two other galleries , Sir John ndaod : "No , there U very little differ ence between the Grosvotior school of art and the academy. Of course , the Bumo Jones style has flourished there , but Gros- vonor gallery was made by members of the academy , Just ns this now gallery will bo made by thorn If U can bo made at all. They may say what they plcnso about the academy ; It gathers In all the best artists of the country. As what I y IB for an Ameri can newspaper , let mo say a word about American nrt students. They are coming nbroaa by the thousands every year to study. In that they do well , for art roaches Its climax In the countries whcro civilization is old perhaps the best of all In these countries which are entering on ( heir decadence. It was so with Holland and Spain ami Greece and Rotno ; It may bo so to-day with England. In any case wo have had a good Inning , but however that nmy be , It 14 certain that the artistic condi tion of England is second to that of no coun try In the world. Franco Is the first to admit this nnd to cover our nrtlsts with honors whim they exhibit In the salon , ondyot Americans cannot bo shaken from tnolr faith in Paris as the centre of the world of nrt. It is ns well to let them go thcro ; they will como nwny with a bad French accent , not alone on their tongues but on their brushes. " Much moro that Sir John said was under the seal of privacy. Ho was looking very well and hopes some day to cross the At lantic. She Wouldn't Interfere.

" "Oh , well , I suppose the child must wear white then , butit must make your wash bills awful heavy. However , as I was saying Ghauncy , if I was you I'd speak to the butcher about leaving so much fat on the steak. " "Chaunoy likes it that way , mamma. " "Oh , does ho ? Well , ho'd hotter learn not to like it ; it's unhealthy. You ought not to put sugar in tomatoes , Hattie ; they are healthier without. " ' But , mamma , Chauncy " "Oh , if lie likes thorn so , of courseit's no affair of mino. But I won't eat them that wav. Seems to mo I smell tobacco smoke. " "I guess it's Chauncy's cigar smoke , mamma. " "Ho doesn't smoke in the house. ? " " he ho does . " "Why , yes , mamma. "Mercy on us ! I wonder the baby lives through , it. But , of course , it's his own house , and Chauncy , don't you think Hattie looks thin and palo ? I no ticed it as soon as I saw her. Hattie , you make your coffee too strong. " "Clmuncy likes it so , and " "That's just what makes his color so bad , and I know very well that you oughtn't to touch it. Chauncy , that baby mustn't wear spring heels yet. I'll cluuigo these boots you brought homo this evening. And you and Hattie mnko a mistake in feeding the child as you do. I'll sco to its diet hereafter ; nnd I think I must speak to your pro vision man about the meat and potatoes. And I think , Hattie , your cook needs a little looking after. And , Chauncy , I'm afraid you bum too much gas , and I'm sure the furnace wastes coal. If I can find a good carpenter around here I'd like to change some of these doors. I don't believe in meddling mothors-in- law , but it's ' a real help sometimes to have a little udvieo , isn't it , children ? " All the Same.

CHICAGO rnonucu MAHKUT , CIIICAOO , May 10. fSpoclal Tologrnth 16 Tnn BBK.I The Interest of grnht tradcrk centered to-day In the government crop ro- port. That report put the average condition of winter wheat nt 73 , which Is tno IbwoH average given In any May roiwrt for eight years. Tills report caused an Immediate jump of about Ic , but that wai speollly lot , and at the close of this morning's ' session wheat was Kc lower than nt last nigh * , ' * close. To use a common phrase of th6 "pit , the report hud boon "discounted. " Too many people had bought wheat with the intention of unloading it on a bulge can sod by the gov ernment's ' figures. Tlioro was very good buy ing at times , but the avaluimhe of long wheat upon which holders wanted to realize at once was too much for the strength of the Imtno- dlate market. Moreover tlio boars , who huvo been idle for sonio time , not knowing the worst , wcro ready to sell some wheat. The government figures show u decline of 0 points from the April report. The shortage , reck oned from these figures , Is vari ously estimated by traders at from 45,000,000 bushels to 80,000,000 bushels. However , with the acreage sa uncertain , because of the amount plowed up for other crops this spring , any computation of the yield would seem very much llko guess work. The bulls have felt strong In the belief that this report , If bad , would force foreigners , in whom now is the only great short Inter est , to cover , but there was no indication during the morning's session that they wore doing anything of the kind. Possibly that .may occur later , and jiosslbly not at all. Private cables this morning showed no un easiness about thu matter. First sales of Juno wheat wore.at 83j c and of July SOJ c. During early trading July wheat touched S0 | < c nnd the fell to ! WJ < c , largely on the re port that the Cincinnati Price Current would give the present condition of winter wheat Tit 75 , which was better thane the estimates mode here. Thcro was a reaction to 80c , then a decline to 8Go and between that price and EOXc there wore several fluctuations , but with no very great tradlug , us everybody was waiting for the government report. It came a little after 11 o'clock and was soon known by everybody on the floor. The price of July wheat Jumped from 0)/c to b } { e without a Single reaction and without much small reaction to b5 > c , advanced to MjSfc , nnd closed nt 1 o'clock ut 85c. Juno wheat , which opened at S5Jic , sold up to SO , down , to 8lc , and closed at 1 o'clock at 84o. In the presence of the crop report the other In fluences which are usually felt wcro for gotten. Public cables wcro higher , nnd tha grain movement table , while showing only meagre exports , was decidedly bullish in small receipts. Minneapolis only received 43,000 bushels of wheat and shipped out 23,000 bushels. These things , however , were of small account to-day. The corn market was dull and stupid all the morning. The extreme range was only p c. The excitement in the wheat market had withdrawn attention from everything else. As a result of the morning's tradlug prices for corn were left Just where they wcro last night. In the meantime there had bceu a small advance but it was lost before the close. The only active trading was at 50c for July corn where there appeared to bo a very large- amount for sale , lieceipts were consider ably smaller than expected. July corn opened at f.5 c , sold at 50e , then doxv'n to 55 euu to SOM'c.dowu to and closing at 5 c. Juno corn followed the same course except that the highest price touched was 50c. The speculative outs market opoucd strong and advanced a little in sympathy witli corn , but there was an easier feeling luter and the close was nt a small decline from yesterday. Trading was light.
