Miss Jcnnlo Reber , one of the eques triennes who take part in the race against the lady bicyclers nt the Coliseum this week , is ono of the best known horsewomen in tlo ) country. She is from San Jose , Cal. , bi't was born In Morrison , 111. She is nineteen years of ago nnd weighs 118 pounds. She first | ti began riding In races in the fall of 18g4 , since Which titno 8ho has ridden throuchout the | t eouth and west , closing tbo season of 18SS at tbo Shrevosport , La. , exposition , where she was awarded a handsome medal and gold mounted riding whip as the best lady rider out of thirteen entries. Miss Uober bus ridden soveiol races against Miss Williams , her companion in the present race. Sbo Is raid to bo the best hurdle rider in the world , * nnd has gone a milo over four jumps , with 140 pounds up , in 1:51'f. : fa ho has boon in arduous practice at the Coliseum for the week past , and is in a fine condition for a long ruco. This will bo Miss Uebor's first race on an Indoor track , nnd the first at tempt of any lady to ride a six day's race. Ono hundred mlles is the record for a lady , thut of Nolllo Burl to , at Galveston , Tex , She and Miss Williams both are eager to try thin long race , and they couldn't have found a bettor man in the country to pilot them through , than Marvo Bcardsloy , und if they obey his Instructions there is llttlo doubt but What they will got through nil right. A Hundred Xnrd Dnsli , There was a ono hundred yard sprint race out nt the ball park yesterday morning , that furnished considerable excitement among the players. Willis and Nichols got Into a dispute over tholr individual merits as runners nors , nnd finally the latter said ho would run Willis 100 ynids for ? 25 a side. The banter was immediately accepted , the money deposited in Cunavan'B lianas and Crooks chosen as referee. The course was from the homo plate to center field , and after several false starts the two men got nway , with the Kid a trlflo in the load. This ho liclu until within twenty-five yards of the goal , when Willis lot himself out and dashed by Nichols , winning the race by a yard. Nichols felt a llttlo sere over the result , and still claims that ho can boat Willis , but It will bo a cold day when ho puts up another 125 on such a venture. Willis covered the hundrad yards inf seconds. _ _ _ _ _ A. l UOSl KOTIVJ2 Mlhb. Bamctlitne About Jimmy Ijlndsny't * Itecord. It may not bo very generally known , but Jimmy Lindsay , the local middle-weight champion , is preparing for a battle with Danny Nccdham , the redoubtable St. Paul Jipht-welght. It has not been given out where or when the fight is to tuko place , but it Is thoroughly understood thut nil the ar rangements have been made , nnd Jimmy Is In go into active training at once. These men are both firstraters , and the mill will bo yyortii many n mile's travel to see. Danny Needhom has won bomo notable battles , Is a dead game two-handed fighter , und said to bo by many tbo superior of Blllv Meyers. Moyeri ! . however , was awarded the fight in which ho and Danny made , although many pit } ring Riders claimed tlmt Need limn was the vlutur. Hut iu speaking of Ncedham , J Immy Lludbny must not bo overlooked. Ho Is a remarkably clover man , and will bo able to KO up ngiilcst any of them in his class. His first fijmt was with Sam Stevenson , BOIIIO four years UKO , in a hull on Douglas street. It lasted twelve rounds aud wait declared a draw , It ID uoxt appearance within the tQVnrcd circle was with Sid Clarne , of Brooklyn , a year npo last summer , on a sand-bar up the Missouri river. Lindsay put bis man to sleep in nine rounds , himself escaping w.ithout a scratch. Following this came his four-ounce glove fight with Billy Hennessey in the opera house two years ago. This was a vicious battle , and although Hennessey had the best of Lindsay by twelve pounds , Jimmy succeeded in best ing him. His next victim was Prof. Cranston of South Omaha , whom ho knocked out with a punch in exactly four minutes. His last fight was with California Dotnpsoy in Pat Rowley's now hall. South Omaha , and which bo won handily after four rough-and-tumblo rounds. Lindsay to-day is a better man than ho over was. Ho keeps himself in fine fettle , carries no superfluous flesh , and can got into the pink of condition with but llttlo hard train ing , and when Mr. Neodham gets through with him ho will realize that ho has hud a fight. The mill will attract mnch attention throughout the whole northwest , and it can bo depended uoon that Lindsay will make the effort of his llfo to conquer the St. Paal slugger. _ "What Crooks Boll eves , "It is batting that wins games this sea son , " said Captain Crooks the other day , ' and you can bet on that. Our team is fielding Just as good as the best of them , but Bomt ) of our most reliable men have lost their good eye. However , I'm not a bit discour aged ; wo are in the hunt yet , nnd it won't belong long before our streak of good luck will come. St. , Paul's ' game hasn't ' been any bet ter than ours , or Sioux Cltys , but still they lire way in the lead , simply because they liavo had all the luck. "Why , lust look at it , here's nn instance : Last Tuesday St. Paul nnd Milwaukee began - gan n game , and in the second inning , Mil- waukco knocked out nine runs , and in the third four more , while St. Paul had suc ceeded id getting but ono man homo. But along came a rain storm , and the game was called. Don't you call that pure luck ! You see they were certain losers , but Jupiter Pluvius steps In nnd saves thorn. The next clay they go out nnd win easily. Oh , I tell you I am a believer in luck , every time. " Among l ho Amateur "Wheelmen.

Peter Jackson , the celebrated colored Aus tralian pugilist , who has recently made such n great record in Frisco by knocking out all comers , passed through Omulm Friday mornIng - Ing en route east. Ho is a tremendous big follow , and looks as if ho might knock a house down , let alone a man. Jackson's views of Hstio sport are In alignment with bis conduct in tbo ring since he came to this country. In all his contests it has been evi dent that his desire was to win without in flicting unnecessary punishment upon his op ponent , and to win by n margin just wide enough to bo decisive. Pugilism ns exempli fied by Jackson has shown less of the brutal izing tendencies , and more of the chivalrous spirit , than thut of nuv fighter , white or black , thut the history of the P. H. has over known. Fighting with him is nn art. and ho has shown in his nctivo work as well as in his oft expressed views that ho has followed the fccience into nil its recesses and mastered Its every detail. In the coming battle be tween Sullivan and Kllraln , Jackson is in clined to bollevo that John L. will win. The Vnltio of Ktiolc Worlc. "How did it come that Omaha dropped three straight games on their own grounds to Sioux City ! " is a question that has been asked a hundred and ono times since the disaster. The answer is simply that the Corn Huskcrs put up the better game , Omana's , principal weakness lying in her hitting. Ihcro is nothing Hhat has a moro depressing influence on a player's mind than his inability to hit the ball. Ho may bo doing indlfTeront Holding , but if ho Is getting two or three lilts a day , he is in the best of humor and plays hard all the time. Lot him field to perfection , however , and fail to connect with a smash ut the sphere occasionally , and ho Is sour ana dumpy , and plays in a sort of perfunctory way. He thinks the audience believe that ho is not do ing his share for the team , nnd ho becomes nervous and excitable , and ho Is then utterly Incapable of accomplishing what ho most desires , and in consequence defeat comet to his team. That was the dlftlculty xvitb the White Sox , unquestionably in their games with the corn huskors. Look at the first St. Joe came. A homer , a triple and a single in the first Innlnc. put the whole team In a fine humor , nnd they went in and smashed the ball at will , win ning the iianii ) hands down. You very rarely hear a player "blow" over a long run ning catch , or a circus stop of a hot ground er , or a fine Jump and catch or ony play of that description , but let him bang out a sin gle drlvo ut a critical stage In the game nnd bring In a run or two , or get the ball over the fence , und ho will loforto it every day until it becomes a groy-whlskored chestnut. If the Otnahas had Just hit "a llttlo bit" in the Sioux City games , the shoo might have now been on the other foot. Hni-Bi'H vs. Wheels. To-morrow afternoon the great six-day race * , horses vs blcycloa , will commence at the Coliseum , und the prospects uro exceed ingly good for a close and interesting strug gle. A splendid turf track has been put down in the build ing , and all arrangements perfected for u fltio race. Miss Jcnnlo Rober , of San Jose , and Miss Li/.zio Williams , of Los An geles , Cul. . have been hero for several days , and have been riding hard in the building. They have twenty first-class horses on hand' and express the utmost confidence of winning the race. The bicycle riders , Beauty Baldwin , Kittle Hrown , Jesse Wood * and JcsfeO Oakes have also been here Hoveral days , und liavo also put In the tlmo in arduous training. Like the equestriennes , they say they will win easily. The race is six hours a duy for Blrdays , for $1,000 a side and the gate ; tbo horse riders to iciiovo each other every Jiour , and the blcyclleiincs every quarter hour.

Klnnhcs From the Diamond. Denver has signed pitcher Shores. The Mountaineers this afternoon. Won't somebody please head of St. Paul. Last game to-morrow until tbo 10th of Juno. Shut-outs are few and far between this year. The mascots this year have all proven Jonahs. Sioux City has re-signed George Washing ton Bradley. . The White Sox leave for Sioux City to morrow evening. There will be nn immense crowd at the ball park this afternoon. Riolly.who couldn't ' hit a balloon last year , loads bt. Paul in batting , Milwaukee nnd Dos Moines are the "snap' ' clubs of the Western association. Milwaukee is trying to induce "Lady" Baldwin to go into buso ball again. McAloor Is winning golden opinions by his extraordinary fielding for Cleveland. Omaha might got Frank Graves , the disen gaged California catcher , and ho is a No. 1 man , too. Dan Shannon now heads Louisville's bat ting list. Ho has been playing great ball for the Falls City team all spring. Denver did u vast amount of crowing over her two victories over Omu.hu , but of late she "hasn't been savin1 n word , " Minneapolis now has two tyc-Phlladclphla pitchers Vlnton and MHctmll. They are nlso ufter O'Counoll , Omalla's lust year's fit st baseman. Joe Strauss has made four homo runs , Cleveland , Crooks , Messot , tJtroo oaoh , and Cooney and Cauavan two each , ana Walsh ono. ' The ' 'Hus-Bcens" are a drug in tbo base ball market. It is not mhut a player has dona that pleases an uudiutuin these days , but what ho can uud doca do , aud nothing more. Cleveland loads In batting for the Omahas , with an average of .tUK ) .

They uro nil tlirco hard batters , good base runners and elegant fielders. Above all they are ambitious , huid , conscientious workers. St , Puul has done remarkably well slnco the opening of the season , aud bids fair to walk uway with the flag. They won eight out of the ton games played abroad , and seven out of the eight played ut homo. They uro puttlnir up a pretty gnmo ono that can not bo very well improved upon. Sioux City is improving in her work every game , und ho promises to make it exceed ingly warm for thn St. Pauls. In Cllno , Glenu aud Genius they have a irout com bination of Holders , hitters and base runners , and in Burke they have the greatest short stop in the Western association. I Sandy McDermott , the umpire , is showing a determination to eradicate "dirty ball" that is praiseworthy. Ho claims that llttlo can bo accomplished by fining u player , but the effective plan is to rob the team of the very advantage the player is endeavoring to secure by turning a trick. Ho is doing this , and as u result there is but llttlo "dirty ball" practiced in games he presides over. Questions an J Answers.

Spotting Editor of Tim BUB : Some time since 1 saw it stated In Tins BEE that Sulli van and Kilrain met in the ring once , some six or seven years ago. Can't you give us some additional information on this subject , as it is seriously doubted by many ? OLD TIMCII , North Platto. Ans. Sullivan and Kilrain did meet in the ring once , but very little prominence has ever been given the mooting. In fact , it is difficult to get at the details of the affair. Thoio has been an evident endeavor in cer tain quarters to keep from the public the result of that mooting , but John Mc Cormick , the best authority on cither .side of the water , on fights nnd fighters , sends the following to THE BEE" : "Tom Drohan , a boxing teacher in Boston , wrote a letter to Barnett , on November 23 , 1S83 , in which ho says : 'Sullivan and Kilrain mot in the Revere voro ball , Boston , six years ago , but the en counter was never recorded , They wore billed for four rounds. I was chosen referee by Kilrain's friends with the understanding that I was to give him the best of it , If I could. They never finished the four rounds. Sullivan gave Kilrain n knock-out in the soo- end round , and there is whore I bogau to got in my funny work. I gave Jake seven min utcs In which to come up. Sullivan was standing over him nnd wanted to know if I was ever going to order Kilrain up. Says I , "Give him a llttlo time ; do you want to kill himl' Sullivan said : 'No , but I'll stand right hero till ho docs get up. ' Jake finally got to his feet , wont to the diossing room room ana never came hack.

THE FRIGID TERRORS OF WINTER flow the Ofllccrs Are Considered By the Subordinates aud the Acts "Which , the Latter Appreci ate Saturday Arrests. The Man With a Star. "I don't mind my Job in summer time , " said the proud bearer of a metropolitan po- llco star , as ho stopped for a moment to chat with a BEE representative , "but it is fear fully tough on us In winter. There have been nights in midwinter when it has been so cold , nnd the wind so penetrating , that l expected to freeze to death before morning ; and yet , I did not dare to" leave my beat as I was afraid some sergeant would coino sneaking nround , and I would lose my po sition by not being nt my post. Tboso nights couio up before ino now like horrible night- marcs. I used to slap my hands against my breast to keep them from freezing until my chest , hands and arms un to the elbows were a mass of bruises. My cars and nose have botn succumbed to the cold and boon frozen as whlto and hard as marble , Some of the boys object to patrolling a boat at ulght , four weeks at a stretch every other month , but I did not object to it In the summer tinin , an I consider it almost a snap. The nights uro generally cool and it is much moro pleas ant to bo on the streets at that tlmo than it is in the glare of tbo hot sun at noonday. But a man is occasionally bothered about getting to slcop on a hot day. as you , gentle men , know yourselveswho have done night service on Tin : Bcc , and had to sleep day times. "Our business is full of poills , nnd wo are dailytcompollcd to face danger. If a shoot ing or cutting scrnpo is In progioss , wo caa't i do like other men turn tail nnd fly , but wo must , instead , walk into the thickest of the light , Interfere with the inon attempting to kill each other , and run the risk of. being murdeied ourselves. I have been shot at , stabbed , and knocked down nnd rolled over In the mud many a itimo in my at tempts to servo the people faith fully I have had men tvith loaded revolvers In tholr hands and a look of in flexible determination on tholr faces toll mo if I dared to approach a foot nearer they would blow my brains out , and yet , I have to sno the first time when such threats have frightened me from my line of duty and do- toi rod mo from ariesting nnd disarming the violators of the law. I have gone Into bawdy houses , where rowdies were shooting every pane of glass In the windows , and have boon threatened with a similar treatment If I in terfered. I have had to follow burglars down back alloys when I could scarcely BCD an Inch be fore my face , and I expected every moment to be shot down like u doc. There are deeds of heroism performed by faithful men on the police force of which thu people never hoar , and the men wearing stars , to-day , uro worthy of as much attention nnd praise ns tno boys who were the blue , 'ihero are men on the police ferro who have served in the army also , and they say that , taking all in all , their experiences as soldiers were no more remarktblo than those of Bomo of our patrolmen. "Some people affect to dospUo a police man , but my experience Is that nil law- abiding and intelligent citizens respect us ns friends , while the thlovoa , thugs and other law-breakers regard us as their enemies. ' 'There are officers who uro anxious to get their names Into THE BEE uud thu other papers , nnd frequently tUoy njo the very first to sneak uway in the face of danger. "But , whilp speaking about these cowardly officers , lot mo toll you that all the boys uio getting to dread Saturday night. Sluco the order for the closing of saloons on Sunday wont Into offuct. J "I do not like to arrest many of the men I find ou that nlcht , because , gomutlmos , they are good , hard working men , and 1 Kuner.illy induce tholr friends to see that they ara taken homo. "What wages do you gotl" asked the re porter. "When a now man goes ou the force ho gets SOO per month , but , after two months' service , ho is raised to $70 per month. The detectives , or fly cops , as they ara called got $75 per month. The sergeants got $ SO per month , the ohlof of detectives ? 'JO ' , while the captains receive 8100 a month. The chief gets $150 , over twice us much as a patrolman. "I do not like our sergeants. If they have it In for n man they will get him off the foroo in a short time. And yet , ufavoiite can do something ten times as bad and never get roportea. "Wo do not blame the captains ns they have to see that every man is disciplined , who is reported to them as being guilty of a misdemeanor. And yet , I have known where a similar offense has been discovered bv a captain , and nothing outside of a few woida of pcrbonal admonition over came of it. This is why the boys all llito the captains nnd will do anything for them , while , at the same time , they dssplso the sergeants. Cap tain Green is ono of the grcatcst-huurtcd men 1 over know , uud yet no man on the police force has been moro slandered. Ho is a thorough gentleman nnd n magnificent oni cer. Ho has performed a thousand little kindnesses that neither you nor anibody but the recipients know anything about. I shall never forgot n sight that touched my heart , In which ho figured , over a year iigo. You rcmombor thut , nt that time , thu city council , , was fighting the police commission nnd had refused for nearly three months to vote the salaries of the newly appointed policemen. Some of the boys woio in a hard row of stumps ; they had no money and no credit und their families almost starved to death. One day , whllo Captain Green was making his rounds , ho came across ono of those un- foi tunato lads who was patrolling his beat in the diinching ( rain without , u rubber coat. The poor follow was soaidng wet und vet ho saluted his superior oulccr with u smile and tried his host to look cheerful. The captain understood the situation nt a glance , the ofllcor was too poor to afford u rubber coat. With his tact , the captain took off his own rubber coat and insisted on making u present of it to tbo patrolman. And when the latter refused it , the captain throw it ever the officer's shoulders and then walked hastily nway. You can bet your llfo that that policeman woula walk through burning sulphur to-day for 'Cap. ' Giocn , "Bull must bo careful of what Iay. Some follows have boon fired from the force for less than what I have already said to you. You sec , a policeman has not the right of frco speech Hue the remainder of American citl/ons. So good day.
