f tfvrons.-Kob. , Aug. 18. [ Special Telegram
toTnn n r. . ] For a tlmo this morning It
looked very ; much as If the Lyons races
vrould adjourn slno dlo. The morning broke
bright ataTboantlful. und the big crowd of
tinxlous horsemen were congratulating thorn-
Bolvos on the prospect of being able to finish
the.mooting under .favorable ausptcos. A
largo crowd assembled at the park as early
ns 9 o'clqck to.seo the borsos worked out nnd
to secure good seats from which to-vlow the
flouulo bill the management .resolved to give
for a single admission.
The traqk was probably faster than It
lins over been slndo Its construction
About 0 o'clock the assembled hosts were
Jilted with consternation by the sudden np-
jioaranco of n bank of threatening clouds
nlong the northwestern horizon and the gen
eral verdict w'as that the races would again
liavo to bo declared off. By 10 o'clock the
nky was entirely overcast , and the rain
1)sgan to fall in the shape of a disagreeable ,
nasty , dttolo. To the surprise of every ono ,
liowovor , it cleared away as quickly ns It
Jiad clouded up , the cntlro muss of wator-
soaked vniiorsweening oft to south as bolero -
lore a magician's wand. The damage to the
truck , however , by this brief rainfall was
Tory niatorl.il , rendering it at least four
seconds slow , but after the ( irst heat , with
the assistance of the sun , It was In.fair con
dition and getting bettor with each hoof
heat. '

The llfth race was tho2:20 : pace , purso$500 ,

and the seCond favorite , D'loldmont , third ,
and thu vraorabla Priuco T On the butsldo.
Thny went off on oven terms nmldst the
plaudits of tho. crowd. At the quarter
Ontonlan showed in front aud us they
rounded into the bl turn Increased
his load 'to ' fully three lengths. Ho
reached the half In .1:07J : < , ' and was
apparently Rolnp o sy. At the three-quar
ters , with the safc.it kind of n load and
with no nercQDtlblo cause , the Ramo llttlo
son of Shnduland Onward loft his feat , and
for lifty yards Chandler wns unahlo to settle -
tlo him. * fl'no cntlro Hold passed him. As
ho settled away and went to pacing , ho came
down the stretch at a torriticgalt , but the
distance woa too short , and the host ho
could Uo was to linish .third. Lucy Smith
and Fioldmont made a rattling linish to the
wlro. The hbat was very close nnd called
for line discrimination1 on the part of the
Judges , but was finally awarded to Field moat.
This was the llrst break over mudo by
Ontonlan in' a race , and is ono of the unac-
countahlo'cclrcumstances that are liable to
happen in any horse raco. Tltnii : 2:19. :
' Mndo a Wonderful Mulsh.
In the second heat the horses got away
with Ploldmont a node in the load , and On
tonlan a half length bock. At the quarter
Onloniaii had the host of it , and at thothroo-
eighths the two were on a line. At the half ,
going round the big turn , Ontonlun passed
Flcldtnont , but as they entered the stretch
the big black fellow again assumed the
mastery. At the three-quarters Chandler
called on Ontonlan , and the noble animal re
sponded with a grand burst of speed and
made : i brilliant finish two lengths in the
load. Time : 2:113. :
The third heat was OntonlanM without
much opposition. Ficldmont made several
attempts to drive him out , but failed In his
aim , Ontonlan winning as pleased , Lucy
Smith distanced. Time : 2:10 : ! .
Sturtrd n Now World' * itccurd.
The third heat of the 2:20 : pace was almost
a gift to Ontonian and caused a merry row
among the backers of Fieldmont , who
thought htm capable of winning , and they
appealed to the Judges to take Driver Lake
out of the sulky and put up some other
driver. When the next heat was called
Judge O'Culbortsou reprimanded Lake and
assured him that unless ho drove out that
lioat ho would never do any moro driving.
The horses got away with Ontonian a length
back , but the wonderful llttlo horse wont to
the front , and had a good load at the
quarter in ! 32 } seconds. The half was
reached in 1:01)4 : ) , with Ontonlan a good
three lengths in the lead. Thu three-quarter
post was reached in 1:3Sand the uiilo

AUSTIN DhtEATS DfcNISE
By Winnlnc from Larry and Qoistlmrdt , the
Youngster Lands in the Final ,
WELL WORTHY OF CULUNGHAM'S RACKET
Ypttenlay' * Tamil * 1'illt nT I'rolty Plays nnd
Dlfllcult Work Austin furnishes the
Again How tlio Score
Now Simula.
From early yostcrdav morning until 0
o'clock tit night , with the exception of a
brief Interval at midday , there was at least
ono first-class match In progress on the
courts of the Omaha Tennis club. Only
eight matches and ono Outstanding sot In an
other were played , but of these 'there were
nt least llvo which no ono would have re
gretted watching. At no timo.though , was
there a larger crowd present than there
has boon on previous days When the play
has been of n far inferior standard. The
host matches of the day were dncldod dur
ing the morning , which was unforlunalo ,
but there was plenty of entertainment pro
vided for these who braved the Kot rays of
the afternoon sun.
At nightfall on Thursday two matches
were still unplayod that were keeping back
both the singles arid thd"doubles. . J. S.
Brown had not started on his doubles and
had played oft only ono round of his singles.
To make up for lost tlmo , theroloro , Brown
started In at 8 o'clock yoiterdity morning
and played n four-sot match , wltli , McKcll ,
against Tlldcn and Clurlc. . .Ilairli'S ' got
through Hits successfully , ! ! pair.wont'on ' nt
once to the next round where they -wore
knocked out by Hart nnd Cookson.
Austin Outplay * Ooltlinriit.
In the meantime Culllngham nnd Battin
had won without ditllculty the ono sot they
wanted from Murray and Johnson to give
them the match , and a couple of unusually
Interesting singles had also boon decided.
NFlrstiy , young Austin , whoso defeat of
Young on Thursday created such surprise , fol
lowed up his achievement by a still greater.
Goisthardt had boon looked upon as the
only man able to got through to play
Culllngham for the championship. Still ho
had boon very erratic throughout the wcok ,
and there were these who were willing to
concede that Austin had a chance of
putting him out. At best it was considered
only a , chance , but when the two mot yes
terday morning Austin carried all before him ,
winning with increasing easu as the game
proceeded. Goisthardt never showed any
of his trut ) form throughout the match or ho
could not but have captured raoro than six
games in the match. .
Shepherd 1'uts Out Culdwcll.
Caldwell , whoso success over Hart was al
most as unexpected as Austin's over Young ,
started In quito early in the scmi-fltial
against Shophord. And for a time it looked
as If ho would do with ono of the Lincoln
cracks as Austin hud aoue with the other.
But it was not to be. The llrst sot was a
struggle from start to linish , but Shepherd
ultimately captured it on the eighteenth
gamo. Neither of the men had missed u
chanco. CaldwoU put all the force ho could
into his balls , and us long as ho could koeu
his opponent at the back of the court ho had
things much his own way. But Shepherd
soon found this out end made every effort to
get up to the net. so as to volley the balls
before- they began to drop. They all crossed
within a few inches of the not band , and
this made it very difltcult to volley them ef
fectively. But by holding his racket firm in
ills hand and allowing Just a little uRivo" as
the ball struck ho managed to got the re
turn inside the service line , too near the
net for Caldwell to roach it. Then
Caldwell got onto this and triad to
follow the . oall tQ the not , so as to vqlley
thososhort returns. This was exactly what
Shepherd wanted , it gave htm the oppor
tunity o ? playing his own game and winning.
Every time that Caldwell got up Shepherd
passed him on ono sldo or the other , for if
Shepherd can do lanythlng well ho can place
his balls where ho wants them.
Clover Contest In Doubles.
Soon after 11 an excellent doubles game
was started between Young and Dcniso and
the Lincoln , pair. Gelsthardt and Shepherd.
The play was not of unusual brilliancy , but
there were munv pretty strokes , and there
was scjonco in nearly every ball. Young and
Denise played well into each other's hands ,
especially when it Is considered that they
have had llttlo practice together. With the
reputation they hold in the state it was
fully expected that the Lincoln men would
at least make u good light and probably
capture ono or two sots.
At the outset the play was very oven on
both sides aud thcso anticipations seemed to
bo proving correct , but when the score had
reached threo-gamcs-all Gelsthardt and
Shepherd fell off. Denise won a love game
from his service and the next two games ,
each of which reached deuce twice , ended
the sot m the Omaha boys' favor. In the
second sot Goisthardt and Shepherd made a
little bettor light , Goisthardt especially
getting In some of his own peculiar cross
s.rouos , which won him many a valuable
nco. The rallies throughout the sot were
longer , but the play still lacked that
strength and energy that characterized most
of the matches of the day. The Lincoln
men a id'not seem able to put any force into
their play and Young and Denise did not
need to. The thira sot opened out differ
ently. Goisthardt served ilrst and won an
easy game. Young captured his service
nftor a long struggle and then for : v time
botli Young and Denise fell to pieces.
Several doubtful decisions bolng given
against thorn rattled them and they allowed
their opponents to get up to 4-2 before they
pulled themselves together again. At the
beginning of the next game Young returned
an "impossible" ball , and this scorned to give
them renewed conlidonco , for they ran out
from this point , winning four straight
' ' r
games.
DenHe Dona For In
In the afternoon Denlso led off thoiirogram
with ono of the shortest nnd easiest matches
of the whole tournament. Ills opponent was
J , S. Brown , and ha disposed of him in four
teen games. As soon as this was ever ho
started in against Austin in the semifinal.
This contest was expected to baa vcry.closo
ono , though Donlsa had predicted his own
defeat , Austin started with the sun behind
him , nnd as events turned out this
proved his salvation. Ho started out
at a very rushing pace , and lost but four
points In throe games. Nothing that Denise
could do was any use. Every ball he hit'was '
returned with interest. When ho had the
service the sun was In his eyes , and the sun
was so hot that it made play ulflicult any
way. Austin slacked a little in the fourth
game and lost it , put immediately picked up
again und won the next three , like the 111-31
two , with only four points scored against
him. This gave him the sot , with twenty-
llvo points to Denisa's fourteen. Then they
changed courts , and Austin had tho' dun to
contend with. The very llrst hall ho lobbed
too fur and , though thu umplro gave it as
"in , " ho reversed his decision upon the ap
peal of both the players. Uoiilso played an
onoixetio game , and won a love sot , with
only tea points soared against him.
bun SnveU Auntln.
Each man now had a set , and with the sun
as powerful a factor as It was. the rule ol
changing ends Jaftor every odd game should
have boon followed. Instead of this , it was
agreed to change after every third game
only , ana as Danlso had the nun for the ilrst
three games , ho wns the loser by the agree
ment. Ho made a good tight for these ilrst
three ga.nes , but lost them all , und not only
this , but he lost the next game in which he
hud the service. His chance of winning now
was very small , but ho kept up the tight and
captured two love games. Then crossing
ever again ho got to l when Austin was B
but Austin then had the service , and with
the sun behind him ho got a love game
which gave htm the match. In the throe
sots Austin won twelve games tc
ton and sixty-three points to sixty *
two , a bare majority of ono
Denlse scored two games ami twenty-oighl
points with the sun In his eyes , and Austlt
only ono came and fourteen points
With the sun behind him Austin playec
three games moro than Denlso and woe
three more , his record on the good sldo 01
the net being eleven games and forty-nine
points and IJeniio eight games nd thirty

four points. tHe ( ) thus did considerably
better ngnlnst awd &un ana almost as well
with It. If conditions had boon equal It Is at
least probable ho irrauld have won ; that Is.
unless Austin had something up his sleeve
which ho did net ttow.
Whnt CiQIIuchinn Mn t 1'nco.
But Austin won n square fight , and ns
Shepherd scratchcil to him In order that ho
might got hompiast night , will today have
the honor of lltaying Cullingham for the
rhamplonshlp. Against Denise ho showed
that ho know how to lilt the
ball so as * 'lb ' win. No player
can withstand m continual volley of hard
drives , driven atr | ) | rn or nltornatoly to ono
side and the other , and Austin adds to this
the very valuable faculty of gelling a good
hold of nearly every thing that comes to him.
With bettor judgment and a llttlo moro headwork -
work In his play ho would bo a very formid
able opixmont for any man In the stale. To
win at tennis nowadays a man must bo able
to accommodate himself to circumstances ,
lie must know how to ploy every ball that
Is sent to him as well ns bo able to play it ,
and also ho must save his strength for the
titno when ho most needs It ,
StruRglo ol the Chnmploiifti
There was another matchycstcrday which
attracted considerable attention , and It was
a good game and hard fought , too. It was
in the semi-finals of the doubles , where
Cookson and Hart mot the champions , Cul-
llngham and BatUn , with some hope , not
altogether unfounded , of being able
to defeat them. The llrst sot was
very hotly contested , and It took eighteen
games to decide It. Cookson was playing ns
vigorously ns on any day of the tournament ,
butitho sun was too hot for very energetic
playing , and his work soon began to tell on
him. Hart wns cool and collected through
out and playcu a steady gamo. But It was
Cultingham that won the match. Whenever
ho got hold of the ball ho put It where it
was least llkoly to bo sent back to him , and
as Cookson and Hart .both havoa good roach ,
there were plenty"of excellent rallies , but
Culllngham generally had the best of thorn
when ho once got In , nud but fora temporary
falling off in tjio third set ho was all there
all the tdno. Battin did peed service from
the back of the court In returning Cookson's
smashes , out that is unsatisfactory kind of
play and ho had littlo'chance of scoring.
Conclndlnc Unmoa.
As the result of the day's work nothing
now remains to bo decided but the final of
the doubles and the championship round of
the singles. In order that everybody may
have nn opportunity of 'watching both those
games it has been decided to play thu singles
today and the doubles on Monday , n o'clock
sharp being the tlmo for the beginning of
each contest. After his performances of the
last few days , Austin is expected to play
Culllngham n good game , though no one has
yet been bold enough to predict a victory
for him. A big crowd of spectators around
the court -will Insure an excellent match ,
and since by 5 o'clock It is cool enough for
visitors to w.itch the game with comfort , no
ono need stay away.

captained by Mr. Hildltch , manager of the
Darker hotel , and also president of the
cricket club.
The next ciickot club supper will be on
September 10 nt the Uarkor hotel. It is In
tended to keen up these reunions throughout
the wfntnr , with the object of holding the
cricketers together until next season , when
it is hoped to form a stronger organization ,
from a cricketing standpoint , than the pres
ent ono.
Efforts are being made to arrange one or
two matches with clubs of other cities to ho
played during the fall. Chicago and St.
Louis are both being negotiated with , but
the matter of distance Is a great obstacle
and It Is feared that the plans will fall to
the ground.

Fewer people were present tonight at the

the club Opened. Not moro than 8,000
spectators 'woro present.
Pat Cahlll of Jersey City anil Tim Sullivan
were to open the show for 11,000 300 to the
loser. P. J. Donahue was the roforeo. Soon
after 0 p. m , the men put up their lists ,
In the first round nothing was done and
both ratlred at oven honors.
In the second Sullivan bolted Call ill's Jaw
till his teeth rattled , and when they came
up for the third .round Sullivan started at
Cahlll with > a rush und swung his left ,
catching Cahlll on the nock. They clinched
and wuVo separated , A moment later they
clinched again , and just after the break Sul

The boutcof the evening between John
Cattcnauh of Providence nud Stove O'Don-
nell of Australia was for twenty rounds
and moro , fora purse of $3,500 , of which the
loser got { "iOO. This contest was refereed
by John Kckhardt , the club's ofllclal roferoo.
Hound Caltenaeh led , but foil short
and got n light counter on the face. Cat-
tonach landed a good loft on the mouth , and
then closed Into stiff work and for twenty
seconds there was the hardest kind of
infighting. Both mon did souio very of-
fectlvo work.-
Hound a Cattcnach kept his mnn at long
range and In doing so kept himself at great
advantage. Ho kept loading straight left-
handed jabs with good effect. O'Donnell is
a strong Inflghter nnd his blows at long
ranpo were not so effective as his opponent's.
But ho kept jabbing away with his left and
sot the house in an uproar by his clover
tactics.
Hound 8 Cattonach profited by the first
round and did not allow himself to got too
close , O'Donnell showed somu great work
In this round nnd the stvlo In which ho
landed lofts on the Providence nun's face
mudo him look like a winner.
Kiiukviilunt to Ilutchury.
Hound 4 Both mon came up smlllnsr.
O'Donnell landed lightly with his left , C.it-
tonach led for the wind and missed. The
men fought nil nronnd the ring , O'Donnell
landing when ho plonscd. Both were now
very weak , but O'Donnoll sent his man
down several times and kept pounding him
all over the ring , while the blood
ilowed in streams down Cattenach's breast.
Ho was bo.itcn and it was a pitiful sight to
see him staggering about under the punish
ment. Hofcrco Kckhardt attempot ito stop
'tchut just as ho pulled O'Dounoll away ,
3aUcnach broke past him and landed
several blows. O'Donnell than went nt him
iko an infuratcd bull and landed many
vicious blows. It was only the gong that
saved Cattenach from a knor-kout. Ho was
carried to his corner and the battle brought
to a close by Jimmy Carrel throwing up the
sponge.
Cattonach Is a much worse used-up man
than was thought. It was found necessary
to call a doctor to do considerables lancing
and fixing up about his mouth and nose ,
which were in a frizhtfully battered stato.
A deep frash was cut over his loft eye , and a
lump as bit ; as an egg raised on his cheek.
Ho was ono of the worst usea-up men over
scon hero.
After the O'Domioll-Cattcnaeh bout a
liost of admirers of Dan Croedon and Bob
Fitzsimmons gathered in the ring , and after
some spirited talk a hot was made or offered
; it odds of $000 to $1,000 that Crcodon Mould
lick Fitzsimmons. After arguing for some
tlmo Fitzsimmons loft in disgust for the
dressing room to see O'Donnoll.

without paying any.tuiitlou passed bv him.
Suddenly ho was struck in the back of the
brad by a pi ceo of load about four Inches
long and ono nnd a half Inches thick , lo
which a leather strlmr had been attached.
This was quickly followoJ by another blow
which stunned him. Still another ono foiled
