Wlii.s from , .Slur I'olntf-r with Due 1 1 cut , lnjltccoril Time. COLUMBIA , ! Aug. G. Today was replete with surprise ) athe Columbus Driving park , there bejng a reversal of the order of the previous , day , . .when favorites won In a majority of gyeuts. The greatest surprise was- the free for-n.ll pace. There were four starters , Joe Patchon , Star Pointer. Lottie Lorraine timUiBadge , and last nlsht Star J'olnter sold fii the , pools at 100 to 20 against the Held. It 'tons' the Judgment of nearly every horseirittn' that Pointer would win In a iwalk and now /were. wIllInK to buv the field , even atthe odda offered. But Pointer did not win. , , pjhe much-lauded conqueror of John R. Gentry nnd Joe Pntchen was van quished by the greafFton of Patchen Wllkes In one of the most exciting races over wit nessed. Patchen won the race on Its merits. He paced the fastest mile ever made on the grand circuit , equalling the world's recorder or 2:01 : > , * , by John R , Gentry at Glens Falls. The track was In stipurb condition. In the first heat the four horses "were started without n skip. Joe Patchen having the polp and Pointer being on the outside. McClary did not push Pointer In the llrst half , , but moved up In the third quarter and came down the stretch with Patchen. It was a driving finish , but Patchen came under the wire by a neck ahead , the time being 2:04. : In the second heat the four Itorsea were ftarted abreast , but Pntchen and Star Pointer went ahead and moved , all the wav around the track like a team. It was evf- dent from the start that the hcnt would be a fast one and posslb'.y a world's record. Patchen and Pointer came down the stretch neck nnd neck ; and ns Patchen poked his nope under the Wire a few Inches ahead of ° , JCter nKreat , shout went up from the 10,000 people that filled the grand stand. The time by quarters waa : 0:30 : 4 , , 1OOV4 : , 1:31 : , 'Pointer broke badly at the start In the third heat nnd trailed far behind , while Patchen and Lorraine went all the way n/ound. wlth the latter hanging on to ' Pntchen's sulky. Pointer made a rally. Time for the heat : 2OS. : In the 2-year-old pace ManeKa was the favorite , but John Durrell , driven by Fuller won after four stubbornly contestedTieats. . I'Js nora and Courier Journal were equal fa vorites In the 2co : pace , but Elslnora was distanced In the second heat and Courier Journal and Jack's Brother were the only stnrterti In the last heat. In the 2:17 : trot Va.enco was picked to win. but had not the staying qualities' , and after taking the first two heats Tuna won the race. frc/m4 / 11 * ' P"rSC " M0ostponcd 1'nsslns Hel'e.

The University Club team was tendered a little surprise party out at the Lake Stree park yesterday iifternoon by nine husky young gentlemen from an up-river prohlbl tlon village , yclept Ulencoe. The locals be ean just as If they were out on the green for a merry-making , but when the "Ullnkos" convinced them that they knew a tiling or two about the great American pastime they settled down to Herlous action but alas , It was too late. The boys frorr. over on the Northwestern simply made n lot of HnB-talk'd monkeys out of them , and they were unmercifully Ruyed by the vast crowd In the stand and on the bleach ers. There must have been fully twenty-live or thirty people present , nnd they witnessed about the most bunglesoineRanie of ball ever perpetrated at this classic old park. Uy the shade of old Cy Sutcllfte , It was Ojc- cruclatlnir ! Sixteen errors big , fat , juicy ones at that was thu record of the after noon. They could nelther"bat , Held , run bases or anything'else. . ' but all the time thn nilnks" played ball.
