There are times In a man's llfo when the
consciousness of having done hl best atones
to a degree for the humiliation of defeat.
Again ho sees his favorlto ball team lose
nnd Is satisfied because they loat no chance
to win and wcro simply beaten out. But the
game with Qulncy yesterday was not ono of
( .lioso games. Omaha should have won , but ,
as on the day before , they wore utterly
unahlo to hit the ball with any etfecU And
then a couple of costly errors at a critical
point finished the scene and lost the game.
Everything looked lovely for awhile , and
the work began with a nlco lead for the
homo team. Ulrlch got a base on balls ,
stole second by a neck and scored on Langs-
ford's two-sackor. Seery popped up a foul ,
which was garnered by Andy Sommers , but
McVey went down on four wide ones. Mean-
whllo a passed bait advanced Langsford to
third , and ho and McVey executed double
steal , Langsford scoring and McVey going
to second. It was a play that la seldom
successfully accomplished , and the crowd
cheered It as an omen of victory. But they
were away oft , for In the second the visitors
came back with a brace on ono hit and an
error , which tied the score. .
Four successive hits by Langsford , Seery ,
McVey and Moran gave us thrto more In the
third , but In the last half n couple of ghastly
errors allowed the yellowbacks to even It up
once more.
Lookabaugh hit Sommers with the ball
nnd McVoy flew out to Seery. Boland hit
to Hutchlnson , who fumbled the ball long
enough to let him to first , spoiling a beauti
ful chance for a double play. Then Merles
smashed the ball over the barn , and thrco
runs wore tallied.
A couple of singles and a sacrifice netted
us ono In the llfth , and a base on balls nnd
Secry's home run added two more In the
sixth. From this on , however , It was ono ,
two , three and out , while the visitors suc
ceeded In pounding out Just enough to win.
Necdham was not a success as an umpire.
His Judgment on balls and strikes was de
cidedly off , and each team got the worst of
It In turn on a couple of close base decisions.
That was not accountable for the loss of the
game , however , which was simply duo to
the failure ot the Omaha Holders to Hold
and Omaha sluggers to slug. Score :

DENVER , Aug. IS. The closing day's
racing of the wheelmen's tournament was
witnessed by the larcest crowd during the
meet. Not an accident of any kind hap
pened to mar the day's pleasure , and thoraces
races were thoroughly enjoyed by the 11,000
people present. Zelgler , the "little demon"
from San Jose , Cnl. , was the hero of the
day , and the question , "Who will taka
Zlmmy's place ? " seems answered by his
performances. A shower came up after the
second race nnd made the track a trlflo
heavy , but It soon became fast again by
subsequent racing , and during the record
breaking trials It was In perfect condition
again. The first race on the program was
the two-thirds mile open , class B. It was
an exciting contest. Bald of Buffalo and
Wells of California raced down the stretch
neck and nock , Bald winning by two Inches.
Krubo of Denver led In the one-mile handi
cap , class A , until they reached the home
stretch , when ho was passed by the scratch
men , Gardner. Bird and Callahan , who
finished In the order named. The. quarter
mlle national championship had eight
starters.
Zolgler of California kept up his cham
pionship work of yesterday by leading from
the start and finishing first by half a
wheel. A shower Just before this race made
the track too heavy for record time. The
half mile open , class B , had six fast men ,
Including Sanger and Titus. In the stretclli
Sanger shot past Wells and won , with Titus
a close third. Gardner of Illinois , who has
been riding very fast during the meet , won
the class A quarter mile easily.
Zolgler again distinguished himself In the
2:20 : class race for class B. Ho and Boles of
Denver , who won second place , received an
ovation at the close.
ZEIGLER OUTRODE THEM.
The one-mile national championship , which
was the big race of the day , brought the
California ! ! to the front once more. Having
already won two races today In fast com
pany , many thought he might not como out.
After the race It was conceded that ho Is a
strong candidate for "Zimmerman's place"
as champion of America. The pacemakers
set a hot clip from the start. Sanger led at
the third and two-thirds , with Murphy of
Brooklyn , Zelgler , Johnson and the others
well up. Zelgler made a magnificent spurt
on the last lap and gained a lead of four
wheels. At the head of the home stretch
Murphy moved up alongside of Sanger. They
could not catch the "little demon , " however ,
and he won by a wheel , amidst the wildest
enthusiasm. J. S. Johnson was fourth.
Gardner of Illinois won the two-mile open ,
class A , race easily.
After the regular program had been run off
several trials at record breaking wore made.
The first to appear were L. D. Cabanne and
F. J. Titus for the mile , tinpaccd , tandem

was paced the first mile by Titus nnd Ca-
batino on a tandem , W. F. Murphy the first

Last week was another of record breaking
among the harness rncers. 1'robably the
most notable performance was that of Allx ,
the famous little marc who won so many ad
mirers at the Juno races hero this year. Un
til Friday afternoon Allx carried a mark of
2:07 : % , which she earned In a nine-heat race
at Washington Park last fall. Since the
mare was taken away from the western cir
cuits she hna been with Monroe Salisbury's
string of animals and Andy McDowell has
been driving her. sfie has won first money
In nearly every race she has started In , but
when McDowell took charge of the little ani
mal he said that he would not send her to
the finish until she was In fine fettle. Ho
concluded to try her Friday , and announced
his Intentions to the judges before starting
her In the free-for-all trotting event. There
were four starters In this race ,
Allx , Ityland T , Plxley and Dello
Vcra , all speedy nags , with truck
records. Plxley was fldgoty , and the
horses had to score In a tiresome manner be
fore getting the word to go. But after get
ting away the drivers made It a "hoss" race ,
and Allx flew under the "string" In 2:06 : ,
beating Ityland T by a length. The game lit
tle mare , took the next heat In 2OGU : and
never turned a hair. She was full of frolic
while being cooled out for the last heat , and
cut up as mandidoes as a playful kitten.
When the horses came out for the third heat
the judges announced that the distance Hag
would be removed and that Allx was going to
make ft record. The drivers were given the
word In the third attempt , and Allx set out
with that smooth , space-killing gait of hers
to cut down her own record. At the half the
watches Indicated 1:04 : , and It was thought
that she could not do better than she
had In the race In previous heats ,
but her almost Inexhaustible resources
of speed and strength were not
reckoned on. McDowell loosened up a little
at the half and Allx began to travel like the
pure-galled standardbrcd she Is , covering the
last half in 1:01 : % , making the entire mlle
In 2:03 : % , which Is a second and three-quar
ters slower than the time made by Nancy
Hanks late last fall. The three heats were
trotted In an average of 2OG : , and only for
the tiresome scoring and delay on the track
it sesms more than probable that Allx would
have made the mlle In less than 2:05. : She
can go a full mlle as fast as she can a half ,
and Salisbury says that some time dur.Ing
September lie will send her out to beat the
track record now held by Nancy Hanks. If
she Improves like she has been doing there
Is no doubt but that Nancy's laurels are In
serious danger.

The folks over In DCS Molnes are having
some trouble about a race meeting being
held In that place at the same time the
state fair Is In progress. The state fair la
an event of some Importance to the prohi
bitionists , but a good race meeting also pos
sesses attractions which the average rurallst
finds hard to overcome. Des Molnes has ono
of the finest mile "kites" In the west. It Is
In charge of L. A. Davis , a horseman from
Dubuque , who owns Roy Wllkes , one of the
fast "bosses. " Davis has arranged a meetIng -
Ing on his tracks to bo held at the same
tlmo the state fair begins. This has angered
ths Agricultural society , and the officers
threaten to stop the selling of poo's ' at the
race meeting. Davis threatens to make the
admission to his racing course free , and thus
cut off hundreds of dollars every day from
the fair receipts. As It now stands. It seems
as If the people were going to
got the best of It for once. The
track which Davis now controls was
built three years ago , at a big expense , but
the first meeting was a very successful fail
ure. They held four days of fine racing and
then shut down , because the association was
going to lose about $4,000 In purses. The as
sociation. In the first place , offered larger
purses than It could afford to pay , and , In
the next place , the right men were not at
the head of the management. Davis now
hopes to retrieve the reputation of the track
, and make a name for himself In horse cir
cles. He has matched Iloy Wllkes against
Dello Vera In his coming meeting.

The D'aron Wllkes colts are still coming to
the front and three of them have broken
records this year. Oakland Baron is the last
one of this great sire's get to make a record.
Ho started In the 2:50 : trot for 2-year-olds at
Terre Haute on Friday and won the race ,
traveling the second heat In 2:16'/4 , the fast
est time made by any 2-year-old trotter on
any track. One of Axtell's colts was a dan
gerous competitor , but could do no better
than secure second money.
i * *
Dr. Sperry , one of Salisbury's string , won
the 2:16 : pace at Terre Haute In straight
heats , the fastest of which was 2:10 : . , 2:11 : ,
2:12 : < 4. Dr. Sperry is a nighty animal , with
a whole lot of'speed , but unless his driver
thoroughly understands him he will not travel
as fast as a common plow horse. The horse
Is afraid of his shadow when on the track
and will bolt and break In a hopeless man
ner. His , driver now blinds him with a
roll of sheepskin , so that he cannot sea the
turf ahead of him for several rods , and then
n-.lth his 'head high In the air the horse can
reel off a mile at a surprising rate of'speed.

The summer meeting of the Northwestern
Breeders association will begin In Chicago to
morrow afternoon at Washington Park. About
$65,000 has been hung up In the purses and
700 horses are said to bo on the ground
ready for the racing. The track has been
put Into the best possible condition for har
ness racing , and , as It Is a trlflo fast , some
good records are expected. Not all of tha
fast strings will bo represented , however , on
account of the big meeting at Terre Haute.

The Rochester meeting clored on Friday
evening , after a most successful season of
racing. The closing day was marked by Hal
Braden winning the free-for-all pacing raw
In straight heats , beating such horses as
Guy , Mascot and Wllkes. Ho recorded the
miles In 2:07V4. : 2:08 : % and 2OD. : While ( his
Is going pretty fast , It Is not fast enough to
win on most ot the tracks when the crack
horses are started.

The people ot Edgar , Neb. , have been holdIng -
Ing a harness meeting during the past week
and some very good events were pulled oft ;
Nebraska has a lot ot good trotters and pac
ers , whlcli are never started In > any ot the
regular association circuits , and a fair field
of starters can bo secured In almost any
enterprising city for small purses , But Ne
braska Is also earning a reputation as a fast
horse breeding state. Labasco , Online and
Allx are all Nebraska horses ,
* * *
The world's record for 2-year-old trotters
has been' broken twice In one week at' Terre
Haute. The first tlmo that the spots were
knocked oft the old mark was when Boreal
won the $10,000 purse tor foals ot 1892 ,
making the fastest mile In 2:17' : , ! , which
beat William Penn's mack ot 2:18ii. : Three
of the Axtcll syndicate's colts were started
In thin race , but they did not make any
great showing. The new record was broken
again on Friday by Oakland , who lowered
the mark to 2:1G > ,4.
Oarldon , a new and green horse , won the
2:35 : class trot at Rochester last Monday
afternoon and beat the gamblers pretty
hard. Rex , Aincrlcus and Altar sold as
favorites , and the termer was looked on
as a sure winner , as his past performances
had been touted eo much around the bet
ting stalls. However , Rex had all he could
do to win second money , while Carldon was
trotting the heatu In 2:14 : , 2:12 : % and 2:10H : >

C'ltjr MvniU it TCIIIII Lincoln
I'litjcr * Hunk.
For the Interstate lawn tennis tournament ,
which opens on the grounds of the Omaha
Lawn Tennis club on llitrney street tomor
row tlicro has been n larger untry from
outside the city than theru ever was before
for any tournaincnt held In this city. It
Is the llrst tlnio that Omaha has attempt !
to hold an open ournamcnt on n large scalo.
The entry list dot's not como up to the hope *
of the conimltteo of management , based on
letters received earlier In the season , but with
nearly a dozen competitors front outside ot
Omaha It cannot bo said that their effort *
have been altogether In vain. And among
these , nlso , are several of considerable abil
ity. Mr. Karintlmr , the champion of Iowa , Ute
to bo hero , and ho Is entered In the doubles
with his fellow townsman , It. Nicholson.
Qullmetto of Hastings In the only Nebraskan -
braskan from outslda Omaha. Thrco or four
men from Lincoln were understood to bo In
tending to come down , but their entries wore
never received. Although there la no ono
at Lincoln who would bo able to add much
to the standard of the play In cither the
doubles or singles , yet their presence might
have been tulicn us some Indication ot the
earnestness of their violent protestations of
enthusiasm In the game at the time they
wcro making a very strong light to have th
statu singles championship competed for In
their city. Now It can bo taken for gran toil
that Omaha will have ut least ono ot thu
state championships again next year.
There IK one advantage about this tourna
ment which Is almost unique , In Omaha at
any rate. Nobody knows who will win. Cul-
llugham has entered , but ho will probably
not bo able to play at all , and If ho does
ho will be far below his ordinary standard
and may safely bo considered out of the
running. Austin , therefore , may be looked
upon as the strongest man to uphold the
honor of the city against the outsiders ; but
the Iowa pair Is expected to show off to good
advantage , and there are qulto a number of
other outsiders who are almost an unknown
quantity , Including a team from Kansas City.
The courts have been put In line condi
tion , and by tomorrow wll ! play as true as
It Is possible for them to do. I'lay will begin
at 2 o'clock each day and the tournament
will continue through the week. The first
two days will probably bo mainly occupied
with the doubles , and the singles villl bt
started on Wednesday.
The draw resulted as follows :

The match race between the prlnco of Wales'
yacht , Ilrltannla , and Mr. Gould's Vigilant ,
Is oft. The boats loft Totland bay for the
starting point shortly before U a. m. The
wind had shifted after the setting out , BO
that the prosptct of what was Intended
should be a bout to windward fifteen miles
and u run homo , would become a run to
leeward and beat back. However , before the
starting gun was flred the Vigilant was seen
to haul down her racing ( lags ami take In her
top Halls. Something wrong with her 'keel
had been discovered and the race could not
bo gulled.
It had been arranged that the queen
should watch the race from the royal yacht
Osbsrne , but this plan was for tome reason
abandoned. The prlnco of Wales , diiku of
York and a large company of British
aristocracy were on board the Osborne ex
pecting to follow the course of the racers.
Mr. Gould's family and a party of gtUsts
were on board thu Atalanta , Mr. Gould
himself being on the Vigilant.
The accident to the Vigilant consisted of
the loss of her ccnterboard.
LONDON , Aug. 18. A dispatch from
Cowcs to the I'rees association Rays that It
Is generally believed that the Vigilant will
not race again this season In English
waters.
