You would never have believed that the
nlno gingery and athletic young colts who
wore Omaha uniforms out at the ball park
yesterday were the same Identical hired
hands that sneaked homo through the back
itrects Just twenty-four hours before smartIng -
Ing under the most crushing defeat that
baa been Inflicted on the home grounds this
year. But they were , and Just how Father
William managed to Inject BO much elixir
of llfo Into his hired men during the brief
Interval while Old Sol was washing his
hands In the China seas Is a mystery that
Will never bo solved In this world.
But never mind how It was done. It Is
enough to know that the team put up a
Bill-edged article of ball all around , and
the cranks enjoyed ono of the most gingery
and Interesting contests that has been seen
hero this year. True , the score mounted up
Into the double figures , but It was by reason
of good , clean hitting , and the few errors
that wore made were mostly of the ex
cusable variety. A noticeable exception to
this was Munyun's wretched muff of an
easily thrown ball , which cost a couple of
runs and gave the fans a huge disgust.
Langford , the new acquisition , made his
Initial appearance and held down the third
bag , whllo Papa took his favorite cushion
on the bench. The new man played a mag
nificent game , winning the good will of the
crowd from the start. Ho psrpotratcd a
beautiful double In the fourth Inning by cat-
Ins up Traflley's hot ground hit , catching
McVlcker at third , and then recovering In
tltma to shut off the runner at first. In the
ninth , too , ho made a running pick-up and
throw of an apparently safe hit from Jones'
bat that was good enough to paste In your
Bcrap book.
The history of the game constitutes the
same story that has been repeated hero so
many times this season. The ) homo team
allowed the visitors to get just far enough
ahead so that they had already added It to
their list of victories , and then Just natur
ally went In and lambasted the life out of
Mr. Burrell and pulled the plum right out
of the fire. The crowd liked It , too , and
vented their appreciation In a prolonged
chorus of congratulation , which was In de
cided contrast to the lugubrious howls which
went out when the pets were being trampled
Into the mud the day before.
We started the trouble by scoring once In
the first Inning on Moran's safe hit , which
tvaa followed by a base on balls , an out and
Munyun's two-bagger. The Philistines went
us ono better and counted twice , and after
wo had drawn a goose egg they repeated the
poformance. Three more bases on balls and
hts | by Fear and Boyle tied the score In the
fourth1 , but the Iowa aggregation came right
back at us again with three more. Each
team scored three times In the fifth and
when the seventh arrived the score was ten
to eight against us.
But right hero the Omohogs unwrapped a
bundle of hits that fairly made Mr. Burrell
have epileptic fits. Seery opened up with a
throe-bagger , Moran corked out a single and
McVey and Fear followed with a couple of
Backs apleco. Then Munyun smashed a nlco
drop over the fence for four of them , nnd
after McVlcker had garnered Pedrocs' fly
Langford , Boyle and Whltehlll all hit safely.
Soory drew a base on balls , but the next
two men were fielded out and the side re
tired with flvu runs ahead.
The visitors scored once more when Mc
Vlcker knocked Hhe ball over the barn for
& homo run , but Whltehlll lot out a peg and
mowed them down like so many blades of
grass In the path of a Kansas cyclone.

WARDNER , Idaho , July 7. the Coeur
d'Alene miners hava broken out again. The
hills are full of rioting miners and the
town Is paralyzed. Business Is suspended
and the sheriff is organizing a posse to defend -
fend the mines. At 1:30 : o'clock this mornIng -
Ing a tremendous explosion shook the town.
It was followed by a.chorus of derisive yells.
When daylight came It was discovered that
an attempt had been made to blow up the
power house and electric light plant of the
Buker Hill and Sullivan mines. Sticks of
dynamite had been shoved under the buildIng -
Ing and exploded. The explosion was suffi
cient to wreck the plant completely , although
a largq part of the building was left stand-
Ing. The hills above the power house are
full of rioters , who make no attempt to at
tack the town , but have spent the whole
morning rolling rocks down the steep moun
tain sldo on the power house and mine
buildings. Hugo boulders , heavy masses of
slag and big logs have been bounding down
the slope all day , crushing everything be
fore them. The sheriff Is now swearing In
citizens as deputies , and If a sufficient
force Is secured ho will probably attempt
to clear the hills. The governor has been
notified and will probably order out the
mllltla. Many people are leaving town. It
Is feared attempts will be made tonight to
burn or blow up other buildings.

bursts of speed In his training heats. The
merits of the horses were so thoroughly
discussed by their- admirers tlmt the owners
were prevailed upon to let them go for the
goto receipts on July 4. The mere an
nouncement of the match was sufficient to
bring out a big crowd to Union park and
they were repaid by seeing a good four-heat
race. Owing to recent rains the track was
In poor condition , and from flvo to seven
seconds slow. However , the horses wore
started and the track at the scratch was
so soft that Allx was nearly thrown and
broke badly just after receiving the word.
She did not recover until Robbie P was
seventy-five yards ahead of her nnd then
the game Httlo marc set out to close up the
gap. She was less than a half a length
behind ag they passed under the
wlrft , although Pylo hod driven
Robbie P to the flnlsh. The tlmo was
slow , 2:17 : , for cither horse , but was good
considering the track. Although It was a
race for gate receipts. It was evident that
Robbhj P's owner was trying to land the
big erid of It , and ho did have some ad
vantage , as Robblo P Is an exceptionally
strong horse , as game' as they make them
and as ambitious as he Is game. In the
second heat the beautiful Allx took the
lead , and although Pyle drove his horse
oft his feet he could not head her , and they
finished In 2:15. : Allx took the next heat
In 2:14 : , and then Jones claimed the race
on the grounds that It was a three-heat
event Instead of flvo. Pyle Insisted on five
heats , and was sustained by the judges.
Jones objected on the ground that Allx hail
not been fitted for racing yet and because
of the deplorable condition of the track.
The mare Is the very apple of his eye , and
ho would not Injure her for half of the
state of Iowa. He finally agreed to start
Allx again In answer to the demands ol
the crowd. But he , was somewhat hot and
told Pylo tlmt he would set the pace and
not let htm get any closer than ho wanted
him to. The start was'made , and Allx set
out on that smooth , deceptive gait of iie 's
which fools so many people , and although
Hobble P made a gamcc fight and flnlsh he
could not gain on , the ; marc , and hardly
made a good pacemaker for her. But when
It Is considered that there are five and one-
fourth seconds difference between their
records It must be , admitted that Robbie
P made a good race , , and Is capable of
making the best Ojf.'tho trotters hustle to
show .him a clean pair of heels. The best
time made in this race , was 2:14 : , but the
half mlle was traveled " , Ir ) this heat in 1:05 : %
* * *
i v
This race demonstrated that the lovers
of turf sports In this vicinity want none
but the best of racing , , end no contests be
tween plow horses go ; In order to fill in
the heats of the principal race , a field of
2:40 : trotters was started. Two heats were
made In 2:47 : and 247Vi. ; and then the
crowd began guying the drivers and every
one else connected with the race , shouting
derisively every time they scored. The rea
son of this was that there was a good deal
of false pretending In announcing this so-
called meeting. The people had been led to
believe that they were to witness a first-class
card of racing , Instead of only the match
between Allx and Robblo P. It Is admitted
that these two alone would have drawn Just
as big a crowd and then no ono would have
been disappointed with the other races. And
another thing the managers of Union park
should see to , that Is the score card
privilege. The card that is palmed off on
the public Is an abomination and contains
many Inexcusable mistakes. And the card
Is not up to date at all , the names of the
drivers being entirely omitted. As these
cards cost about $7.50 to $8 per .thousand
and are sold for $100 , which Is clear profit ,
the advertising paying for the first cost , It
seems that the patrons should get better
treatment from this source.
* * *
There Is some little talk of arranging a
fall meeting of harness races at Union park.
Such a meeting could undoubtedly be made
a financial success and If held late enough
all the crack trotters and pacers In the west ,
which are now campaigning on eastern
tracks , could be Induced to stop over for the
meeting on their way home for the winter
season. But It Is just as well to warn the
projectors now that they will make a failure
and suffer a financial loss , besides Injuring
the reputation of the track , unless they ar
range a strictly first class meeting and do
not attempt to palm off a lot of old skates
and skins on the public as thoroughbreds. It
has been demonstrated that good trotting
and pacing races will bo liberally patronized
hero , but track patrons draw the line on
hippodromes.

Charley Williams , the man who gave
Axtell and Allorton to the trotting world
and who has enjoyed a meteoric career as
a horseman , has about finished his new
track at Galcsburg. III. Ho held a small
meeting at the new course on July I , and had
the satisfaction of drawing a big crowd.
If Omaha had have "legged" a little harder
Williams might have been Induced to come
hero and recuperate his fortune. Whatever
faults Williams may have , ho Is still the
most remarkable turfman in the country ,
and when he guarantees a purse horsemen
know that they will get their money. Al
though ho made a fortune out of Axtell
and Allcrton ho lost It , as many a wiser
man has done , by trying to accomplish an
Impossibility. William tried to build up a
real city In Iowa.

A gentleman who itei'eiitly ' returned from
California says tlmt'Mil ) visited the great
English racing sta'lllpn , ' Ormonde In his
stables near Los AtjKcJes and found the
horse In line condtfoi ( ) , Ormonde Is the
prldo of California' , ( urfinen , and some of
his get which wcrq 'dropped ' this season
look very promising , . , Nearly all of the
famous California spaios { are being Im
proved by new blooil , and the horsemen are
picking up the bentaofiI'aatern horses.
Maxim , by Musko.fcUm famous New Zea
land racer , died atDrl | Paso's ranch , near
Sacramento one day lajst week. The horse's
death was the result' Injuries received
In his stall several days ago. This horse was
Imported from New Zealand six years ago
at a , price of $21,000 and ho 1ms sired many
promising youngsters , , who may bo heard
from In a few seasons.
The lovers of harness racing hear very lit
tle about klto-shaped tracks and phenom
enal records nowadays. Like any other fad
It has died a natural death , and horsemen
are turning their attention to the best meth
ods for Improving regular oval courses.
Among the new Innovations adopted this sea
son Is the electric distance and wlro flags
for timers , which are operated by the ofllclal
starter ; and tha elevated watch towers at
the time posts , In which the flagmen are
locked until the races are over. Tlieso men
are , In communication with the judges' stand
by telephone , and they Immediately report
any foul driving or any other crooked work
on the course. The hones are called to the
itcore by n system of tlectrlo cull b 1t and
the work of the starter It said to b greatly
facilitated.
Will the trotting and pacing records made
last year be broken this Mason ? Is & leading
question among horsemen. It Is also pre
dicted that the two-mlnuto mirk will -b * hit
by some of the upcedy nags. Flying Jib ha >
made A half mils spurt already In 1:01H : ,
and It la confidently predicted that he can
go that distance a second and a half faster.
Online lm shown several quarters In 0:23 : ,
and after being driven a couple of warming
up miles at Union park the other day , he
stepped the distance from the turee-Qunrterr
peg under the wlro In 0:23 : flat. Jones s y
Allx can and will lower her last year's
record (2:07i ( : ) fully four seconds , and only
Mr. Jones knows what this wonderful Httlo
mare can do. No reports have bean received
yet about the work of Dlrcctmn , Sunol ,
Saladln , Nancy Hanks. Martha Wllkcs , ' or
Mascot , whllo Ouy and Manager might bo
considered In the ll t of "phendnu. " The
pneumatic tire seems to have made a 2-mln-
ute gait .a possibility , and some of the record
makers will only have to go four seconds
faster to accomplish the feat.

Before County Judge Henry II. Mooro'a
court opened In Brooklyn on Friday mornIng -
Ing , says th New York Sun , an elderly
man with a sunburnt complexion , sandy
hair and a Scotch burr In his voice that
fairly tickled the ear when ho spoke , walked
Into the clerk's office And said !
"Iont to see my b-b-b-boy once more.
Boo hoe heel My p-p-poor b-b-b-boy. "
"Who Is your boy ? ' " asked an officer.
"Harry Parker , " answered the Illuminated
stranger. Great tears rolled down his
checks. Ha was a study In grief ,
The officer's sympathy was aroused.
When Harry Parker was gathered In by the
police he was supposed to be one of a gang
of experienced Kngllsh pickpockets that has
been working the race tracks. Parker's
misfortune happened on May 15 , when Dr.
Hlco won the handicap. Parker and Ocorgo
Holmes were arrested at the Brooklyn Jockey
club track by Detcctlvo Mason for helping
themselves to a $100 diamond stud that hap
pened to bo In the bosom of Reuben Dodd.
They were Indicted for grand larceny In the
second degree and convicted. They were to
bo arraigned before Judge Moore on Friday
for sentence. When the florid stranger
hoard from the officer that "his son" was to j
bo sentenced , ho asked to see Judge Moore. I
The officer took him to the judge's private
room.
"What Is It you want ? " asked Judge Moore.
The stranger was shaking with sobs as ha
said : "Oh , your majesty , my poor b-b-b-boy !
Ho was such a nlco young m-m-man , the
hope of my old age. "
"Well , what's his name ? "
"Harry , your excellency ; Harry Parker ,
may It please you. "
"Yes , and ho has been convicted of grand
larceny , and I am going to sentence him
this morning , " said Judge Mooro.
The stranger was heaving with sobs. "Spare
him , your excellency ! Spare my only son ! He
was such a nlco b-b-b-boy bao-hoo-hoo ! I
haven't seen my unhappy boy for two whole
years. Ho has been wayward when ho has
been out of my care. Do have mercy on
him , and I will bless you all my days. Harry
will be grateful , too. Ho has never been In
trouble before , your majcst your honor.
"I understand that he has been In prison
before , " said Judge Moore , who was a bit
auspicious.
"You hurt mo when you sny that , " raid
the stranger with dignity. "If he has been
In trouble before may your honor send him
ta prison for life. "
While this was going on Detective Mason ,
who had arrested Parker , entered the room.
Ho remembered to have scon the ruddy
stranger talking to Parker during the trial.
"Aro you married ? " asked Judge Moore.
"My poor , dear wfo | Is dead. " Raid the
man. again bringing out his damp hand
kerchief and dabbing nt his streaming eyes.
Ho cried easily and without effort.
"Where are you employed ? " asked Judge
Moore.
"For business reasons I would prefer not
to answer , " said the man. "I have been a
respectable citizen since I came to this
country. "
A close cross-examination developed the
name of ono man who lived In I'urlem who
had employed Harry Parker's 'ather.
"Mason , " said the judge to the detective ,
"go to Harlem and see what this man knows
about Mr. Parker. "
The heartbroken parent's sobs ceased sud
denly. "Your honor , I I I will call again , "
ho said , and out he went In n hurry.
When Parker was arraigned for sentence
Judge Moore asked him , "Is your father
alive ? "
"No ; ho died eight years ago. "
Parker chuckled \vhcn the story of the
broken-hearted parent was told to him.
"If that man says he Is your father ho
didn't tell the truth , eh ? " said Judge Mooro.
"Of course he didn't , and lie's nothing but
an old bungler anyway , " said Parker with
disgust.
The broken-hearted parent didn't return
to claim his long-lost boy , and Parker was
sentenced to Sing Sing for four years and
a half.
"That was the latest trick out , " com
mented a court officer.

VIGILANT DEFEATED BY THE BRITANNIA
Uenutlful Day to See the linen , bat the Pre

llrltlnh llont.
HUNTER'S QUAY ( Firth of Clyde ) , Jutr
7. In the race for the Queen's cup At tha
regatta of the Royal Clyde Yacht club today
the Britannia was again the winner. Sli
went over the line almost Immediately after
the gun was fired at 10:30 : a. m. , and at
Cloch Point she had n slight lead , which she
Increased ever the Vigilant ,
The course today was that of the Royal v
Clydo Yacht club , the one sailed over nt the
Mudhook Yacht club conteit on Thursday ,
In today's race , according to the official rat
ing , the Vigilant having been measured yes
terday , the American yacht nt 175 tons to
the Britannia's 150 tons , allowed the prlnca
of Wales' cutter three minutes. The Vigi
lant allowed the Majorlo eighteen minutes.
The starters were as follows :
Vneht , Illir. ItntlnK. Onncr. Itnndlcnp ,
llrlliimiln..Cutter 152 I'rlnco ofVnlcs 3 mln ,
YlKltant..Sloop 175 Mi-Jars Gould Bcrnlch
Sliirjorlo outer li mln.
The Interest , of course , centered In tha
Vigilant and the Britannia. The harbor
presented a line spectacle , as the dull ,
cloudy early hours of the morning were suc
ceeded by a glorious sunburst which en
livened everything and everybody. During
the morning a * light southerly breeze waa
flowing and this benefited the Britannia. The
breeze Increased as the tlmo approached , and
when the start was made was blowing
freshly down the channel.
The smart and powerful looking Vigilant
lay In Qourock bay until 9:15 : a. m , , when
she loft her moorings and began crulslnrt
about the firth until the tlmo for the start.
The maneuvering for the start was a
pretty sight. The Vigilant was luffing along
in front of the line , whllo the Marjorlo and
Britannia cruised about In the mouth of the
loch. When they stayed to starboard In
order to como down on the line , the Britan
nia was pushing into the weather of the
Marjorle and was a bowsprit ahead as the
gun was fired.
VIGILANT STARTED POORLY.
The Britannia was over the line almost
Immediately after the gun fired , closely fol
lowed by the Marjorle. The Vigilant made a ,
bad start , being fully three-quarters of A
minute behind the Britannia. This was ac
counted for by the fact that the American
yacht had less way on when she came about , .
Amid rousing cheers and much steam
whistling the three yachts bore away shorten
on the starboard tack , and It was soon seen
that the Vigilant was closing In on the lead
ers and lying high up in the wind.
The Britannia hod a short hitch about 200
yards out , and had to stand up on tha
weather of the Vigilant as she drew on , and
still had the weather gauge , the American
yacht being two lengths behind.
Captain Carter of the Britannia was today
assisted by Captain O'Neill of the Ivprna ,
and the prince of Wales' cutter had on
board sixteen picked men from the Ivorna ,
making a total of forty-six men to handla
the yacht.
The Vigilant carried a crow of forty-Dint
men. The Vigilant and Britannia hold on to
the starboard tack to the Cloch short with *
out making a tack , the Britannia falling
away to looward.
When the racers cleared the Cloch lighthouse -
house they met a slightly rnoro favorabl ,
wind , and the Britannia was not only polnfi
Ing as high as the Vigilant , but she waft
drawing ahead. When Hie yaghts ran Into
more open water , the breeze wag breaking
the sea Into whltecaps , and both the Britan
nia and the Vigilant were hoollng over. The
Vigilant , to everybody's sqrprlso ashore , np
peared to bo falling behind. Experts said
that she fore-reached very fast and that her
centcrboard gripped her to windward In n
very effective manner. On staying to fetch
the SUelmorllo mark , the Britannia slightly
Improved her lead.
The heat down was n marvelous exhibition
of seamanship upon the part of the captains
of both tha American and English ynchttj.
Both yachts came on the run toward Cloch ,
with spinnakers to starboard and jib-top
sails and balloon foresails pulling splendidly ,
coming past the Weymss sldo In a true but
softening wind. The Marjorlo was following
17 minutes astern.
The Vigilant began closing up on th
Britannia's stern on noarlng the Oloch light
house , but after passing the lighthouse the
Britannia again widened the gap between
them , and the Vigilant was unable to cloM
the breach. ,
MADE AN EXCITING FINISH.
At Hunter quay there was a scene of In
tense excitement at the flnlsh. Though the
Vigilant was leading , the Britannia seemed
to be gaining and Ib was thought she would
pass the Vigilant. But wnen she could not
pass and It could bo seen she had won od
her allowance , the greatest enthusiasm pre
vailed.
Captain Hoff handled the Vigilant grandly
In the run to Skolmorlle , but 10 | did not
succeed In the severe task of enabling her
to get a sufficient advantage to allow the
yacht to pass the Britannia , as the latter
kept the Vigilant safely weatherbowed.
There was great excitement when th
vessels wore abreast. The great question
then was whether the Vigilant could sol
home far enough In advance to ovorcomj
the tlma allowance. The ( Vigilant drew
away grandly , but the distance was lob
short and the Britannia got the vordlols
The time of the two yachts was as follows
at the finish : Vigilant , 4 hours , 10 minute * ,
37 seconds ; Britannia hours , 17 minutes ,
42 seconds. The Britannia with her tlmi
allowance of three minutes won by 1 mlnuto ,
55 seconds.
