lng season Is
now nt Its
zenith and
the midsum
mer harness
in e e t I n g H
during the
p a a t two
weeks have furnished the lovers of this
sport with Homo sensational performances.
Ilut such events arc getting to bo rather
common , and record after record has been
broken up to the present date , until there
'BCPIUK to be no limitation to the speed of
the thoroughbred trotters and pacers. The
Grand Circuit uccoclatlon held Its meeting
ut Cleveland during the past week , The
crack horses from the east and west , north
and south , started In these races , and In
one afternoon , Thursday , three records were
broken and new ones made. Allx broke
Maud S's'track record by traveling u heat
In the froo-for-all trot In 2:08 : , and Ityland
T stepped a mile In a race In 2:07 : % , while
he went the three fastest consecutive heats
ever trotted. The people were furnished with
a first-class program each day , and the
greatest "Illue Ribbon" meeting of them
all has gone Into history and the reconl
books. While the Omaha lovers of line liar-
rcss racing have to content themselves by
reading the summaries .of these fast races ,
they have been furnished wltJi some good
races at home , or rather at Union park ,
ncrosH the river , by the Saturday matinee
.meetings. Some really good contests have
occurred between local horses , and a great
deal of Interest Is being manifested by
horsemen and horse owners. These races
are to continue throughout the summer sea
son ,
* *
The project of establishing a fine mile
track and driving park In this city Is being
again discussed by lovers of fine horses.
Tlicre Is no doubt that If the right parties
could bo Induced to take hold of the mat
ter n track would be built In time for th > '
Ir.to fall racing and another Uliie Klbhon
meeting could bo held here. A fall un-ct-
iiii ; which would equal Clinton Hrlggs' meetIng -
Ing at Union Park In June would prove to
be a money making Investment and would
ha the means of bringing thousands cf
visitors to Omaha. The main thing ' .voul.l
Ii3 a good track and a good Held of starters
In each race. Then some attention shuuld
be given to rates to Omaha for the meet
ing. If the railroads would make reduced
rates for the week for a radius of SOO tnllos
from this city there would be nt least
20.COO outsiders who would attend the meet
ing. Then , again , the track must be of
easy access , both from the city and the
depots. There are plenty of good horssa
In this part of the country , and the big
stublcs at Lincoln , Fullerton , Council muffs ,
St. Joseph , Kansas -City. Sioux City , -Slmix
Fulls , Des Molncs , Denver and other points
could be Induced to bring their horses here
after the close of the eastern circuit meetIngs -
Ings , and It Is not unlikely that Salisbury
could be Induced to stop over on his way
to California with his famous nags , among
which are Allx , Kxpresslve , Azote and
others. Then 'there ' are the Paxton and
Brlggs1 stables , with such fast performers
us Conqueror.-Twp Strikes. AJamlto , News
boy. Koto. Caffrcy and others , and Ed
Gould's string , with Online at the head.
There is material enough convenient to
Qmalta for one of the best race meet
ings , over , held In the west. Let liberal
pumes be hung up , treating all of the
horsemen fairly and In
a courteous nnd ac
commodating manner , and Omaha will have
established her reputation as a racing center.
In this connection It has been suggested that
premiums and medals be hung up for breed
ers and their exhibits of finely bred horses ,
giving the public a first-class horse show as
well as racing. As soon as the weather gets
'
cool enough' for a man to think of business
enterprises It would not be a bad Idea for
a number of horsemen to hold a meeting at
some convenient place and discuss the sub
ject In earnest and see Just how they feel
about undertaking the project.

The Northwestern Association of Trotting
Horse Breeders will hold Its annual meeting
at Washington Park. Chicago , August 18 to
25 , ami will close the entry list to eleven

ing August 1. These purses are for the 2:30 : ,

of this association will also bear In mind that
the final payments are due In fourteen stakes
on the sumo date , August 1. During seven

etakea and specials. There arc nine colt
suites , the smallest value being $1,000. There
are six class stakes from $2,000 to $5.000.
while the' eleven regular purses would till
the time of u gdod average meeting.

There was some "hot footing It" at the
Cleveland races on Thursday. Twelve heats
were traveled In the average time of 2:10 : ,
and all kinds of records were smashed , while
JnniM mtulo n killing with the famous little
Allx | | i the free-for-all trot , Some of the
people' over , there thought that because Allx
got beaten In a race at Detroit that she
wax never , going to win. They have rea-
soh to believe differently now , for It cost
them u gob of gold to llnd It out. And look
At the time , too. Allx not only won the
race' in straight heats , but she bent her
track record and went the flrht heat within
n quarter of a second as fast as her lAst
year's1 record of 2:07 : % , She beat such
speedy nags as Plxlcy nnd Walter H to a fln-
] si , nnd the real rue : : was between the hitter
jwo , fpr second place , hut I'lxley * was able
to outfoot Walter and ho took second money
nfler-a game light. The heats were traveled
lit 2OS : ; 2OSU. : 2:09V4. : and the purse
amounted to $2,500. Then , there wan the
2:20 : class pace. All three heuts below 2:12 :
Hiul one In 2:10 : Hat. That Is going pretty
Itt'Fiy , but just look at the lime made In the
2ll ; class trot. A mile In 2:07 : % , and nil
three- heats In less than 2:09. : That horse.
Ityland T , who has kept all the critics guess
ing what he will do next , was the winner ,
'and'e ' \ \ effectually heat Lord Clinton , an
other record breaker. This Is the manner
'n which he lowered the record and made
the timers think their watches had stopped :
Tirol heat In 2:08 : , i , second In 2:07 : % , third
in 2:08 : % . Tliese arethe , three fastest con-
Bccutlve hentK ever traveled on any track.
-Joe Pntchen won the 2:20 : pace , and Hal-
lonna won " > 0 - > :19 : lrotl Alumlto , one of
Clinton Ilrlggu' horses , was started in. the
Utter race , but ho did not nucceed In land
ing any of the money.
That , was a great race meeting they had
In Detroit. There were twenty races tin-
Ished during the week , requiring more than
sixty heufs and the average time of all the
heats was 2:15 : 1-5. This lllue Ribbon meetIng -
Ingns the most successful from every
atamlpolnt of any meeting over held In De
troit , nnd they have had come mighty good
racing among the ImrneaH homos over In
that iicck-o'-\\gods , top. On two days the
high water mark for paid attendances was
lieuteu and nil through the meeting the
crowds were large enough to maku racing
profitable. There was drawback In eon-
nvctlon with the meeting , although the facili
ties for getting to and from the truck were
not what they should bo for such u ruco
meeting. There has been considerable tulle
ubout a fall meeting , but nothing has come
officially from the rluh an yet.
The great two-mile race to come oft
August S at Iluffalo park , Iluffalo , N , Y. .
In being looked forward to with great In
terest. At this meeting the race referred
to between the in are Nightingale , 2:10V& : ,
by C. J , Hamllu , Outlaid , nd the
sUlllon , Orccnlandcr , 2 12. owned by J.
II. Odell , Evannrlllc. Ind. , will at
tract a great crowd , Contracts have been
entered Into by the owners of these cham
pions for a race at two miles , best two In
three. As the horses matched are queen
and king of the turf at Hint distance , un
usual Interest Is taken In the contest. More
over , It will ho the first two-mllo rnce ever
trotted on a grand circuit course. Nlghtln-
gale will bo driven by Ed F. Gccrs. nnd
Orccnlnnder will he piloted by Hody Patter
son , both of whom declare that the record
will have to bo lowered considerably by the
winner ,
Monroe Salisbury hns no better money
maker In his string of fast horses than the
marc Expressive. This animal has been
started In alt of the 3-year-old events on
the grand circuit tracks and she has landed
some of the money In nearly every rnce.
A sensation was created by her at Cleveland
last Tuesday. She started In the S-yenr'Old
2:36 : class trot on Monday afternoon. Hcd
Dud , another fine horse , won the first two
heats , and It begun mining , so that the
event had to be postponed until the next day.
These two heats were traveled In 2:17 : and
2:18'/4. : When the field was called out the
next day Kxpresslvo brought her speed with
her and surprised the talent by winning the
next two heats In close finishes In exactly the
same time of the heats on the previous day.
In the fifth and last heat McDowell drove
Expressive so that she was crowding Ited
Hud nil the way 'round , and as the horses
swung Into the stretch Mac began overhaulIng -
Ing the leading horse as If ho had been
hitched to a post , . Hud's driver saw that he
was beaten and deliberately fouled Mac by
crowding him Into the fence so close that he
had to pull Expressive down In order to pre
vent a collision. The judges saw the per
formance and distanced Red Hud , giving the
race to Expressive. The action of Ited Hud's
driver was severely condemned , and If all
such "Jockeying" was as promptly and sum
marily sat down upon there would bo less
real cause for complaint because of "Jobbery"
among patrons of the turf.

* The trotjsrs and pacers have been coming
to the front at a lively rate during the past
. week , and there have been some record-
breaking rnc.'s at the grand circuit meeting
at Cleveland , Hut harness horses have been
coming to the front all this year , and now
over 675 pacers and trotters have made rec
ords In 2:30 : or batter so far this season. Of
this number two-thirds of these animals
have marks of less than 2:21. : There have
been several Dlue Ribbon meetings this sea
son , but this will be the blue ribbon yfar
for harness racers. Among all the fast rec
ords can bo found some western horses , and
the fast nags upon whom western sportsmen
pinned their faith early In the season have
not only proved their stability nnd speed ,
but are rapidly getting to tin front as
money-makers. About $70,000 were hung up
In purses for the Blue Ribbon meeting at
Detroit last week , and the money was di
vided between forty stables and owners , as

The famous Fleetwood park , the homo of
the Now1 York Driving club and the. only
trotting' track around New York City , will
soon bo a thing of the past , as It has been
sold and will soon be divided into town lots.
Fleetwood was designed in 1870. Tilt ; cost
of constructing the race course was very
great. The site selected was simply a
swampy hollow , surrounded by rocks.
Money was , however , plentiful , and there
was no great trouble In raising the $150,000
required to make the track. The first race
at Fleetwood park took place Juno 22 , 1S70 ,
but the formal opening did not occur until
the following month. The control passed
through several hands until 1883 , when Mr.
Gates IJarnard , the lessee , turned It over to
the New York Driving club. Last Septem
ber , however , saw the greatest and most
successful race meeting ever held at Kleet-
wood. The presence of such cracks as Nancy
Hunks and DIrectum drew thousands of spec
tators , who are not ordinarily Interested In
trotting races. Nancy Hanks trotted in
2:06 : % and DIrectum won the fastest race
ever trotted by a stallion.
* *
The correspondent of the New York ,
dailies' who announced that Klylng Jib low
ered the track record when he paced In
2:07 : at Saglnaw last week overlooked the
fact that the same horse paced the same
tnu-k In 2:04 : last year.
A new system of numbering- horses was
employed at the Worcester , Mass. , meeting
last week. The numbers , Instead of being
placed on the drivers' arms , were adjusted
to the horses' harness , directly back of the
.withers.
Ilv virtue of his performance In the 3-
yea'r-old trotting- division nt Columbus , O. ,
the bay colt , Dlmonero , becomes the fast
est trotting- performer to the credit of Pied
mont , 2:17'4- : ' The colt won the event off the
reel In 2Wi. 2li'l : ! , 2:18'i. : beating some of
triebext 2-year-olds out last yenr.

had won the first heat In 2:15. : In the third
heat Azote reduced his record to 2:121i. :

horse , Clay Honta * . that hus been pacing
through the New York state circuit since
the llrst of June , paced the next three In
2:12'4 : , 2:1234 and i':15VJ. : Clay Ilontas started
the Season with a reconl of 2:3IVi : ! , and will
reach 2:10. It Is thought , before the season
Is over. HO Is by Pocahontas Hey , out of

The free-for-nlt puce at Mystic Park last
Krldny was a battle royal between Scott
McCoy's buy stallion , Hlley Medium , and
Lisle Simmons" chestnut mare. Prlma Don
na , by Iletterton , uiid the stallion won after
live lieatx. 1'ilnm Donna won two heats
In 2:124 : and 2:13Va , anil then the son of
Happy .Mi-ilium came back with n mile In
2:13 : % and another In 2:10. : In this heat
Prlma Don tin nearly severed a. tendon and
was drawn. The chestnut gelding Paul was
distanced In the first heat.
Mascot , -ul : , lieKiin his campaign proper
lit Columbus. O. , last week by winning the
free-for-all Crawford Atlantic
- - pace over ,
King , llclh'ctor and other fast ones. Craw-
fonl won the llrst heat In 2:07 : % , the fastest
heat lit that time trotted or paced this
yenr , but Musrot wns good enough to win
the next three In 2 ; < W. 2:11 : % and 212',4. ;
Crawford , whn will undoubtedly pace an
fast as 2or : thin year , Is by I'avorltt ! Wllkes ,
others of whose get are showing renmrka-
tilrt form this year.
There was notable speed nn theclosing -
day of the meeting at Davenport , la. Jack
furry nnd M. K. AlcHenry cnmo together
In the. free-for-all , with Walter K. 2:10 : ,
nnd Phoebe Wllkes. 2:11 , respectively , and
after a couple of Jiurd duels between the
pair , both of which were won by the marc *
In 3:11 : nnd 2l2'i ! , Dick Tllden brought up
the 5-year-old son of Kngle Itlnl , Alumlto ,
nnd neatly gathered In first money , reduc
ing AlHinlto's record from 3:1 : ! ) to 2:13 : % In
the third hent. This performance udds an
other to the multiplying evidences of the
value of the'stout Morgan blood In brood
mares , Alamlto's dam being by General
Washington , mm of ( lenorul Knox , one of
the best llnt\s to Hlark Hawk 5.
John tiplan received a letter recently from
Dan McPhee , nnd In It the Austrian trainer
Hays that the American horses were win
ning everything on the turf In Europe this
year. Distance docs not appear to cut
any llgur with the performers that hav
liven over there for some time , and should
they keep up the clip thorn will be nn active
demand for horses from this side of the
ocean imxt winter.

NEW YORK , Julv'23.-W. A. Hrudy , man
ager of Pugilist djorli tt , arrived on the
Urltannlc. He app ) nr - o be deeply Inter
ested In bringing ubojit a meeting between
Corbett and Jacksnli. 'I'JIm has very pro
nounced Ideas of Jackson , " he said. "He
does not believe tju ) negro wants a finish
fight. This I.i the" talk about a twenty-
round engagement aftjib National Sporting
club , which should ! 60 called the Jackson
club , " he added , wrth 'a'sneer. ' "Why , they
are all Jackson people to a man , and Jim
would not have the-ghppt of a chance. Wo
know that Davles p.nd'J.ord Lonsdale have
been In constant communication , and the
former , by guaranrcenig- purse of $15,000 ,
tried to force Jlm inlo , a' match , but they
did not succeed , ueorile Plorre told me
that two men could not'llght twenty rounds
In that club houseuniv } s one was beaten ,
yet I saw four drawa. It ! s only a Go-foot
ring , nnd Jim , nfter looKln'g the place over ,
told , them frnnklK Ho did , not like tllelr club
and their money , aril woul'N not.tight
there. "
' i-
"Hut there are no available clubs here
save those In the south , " was sugKested.
"Do you want Jackson to fight there ? "
"For my part , I do not know what to ex
pect from Jackson , bdt I'll tell , as I started
to. what Jim expects to do. " Hrady re
plied Impressively : "Jim thinks Jackson will
come on here , make , a grand stand piny
about the south , and then retire , or else ,
after a whole lot of talking , finally agree
to fight below the Mason and Dlxon line.
-/Then his manager will say he has con
ceded everything to Corbett. Jim will light
him anywhere In the United States , and
any time will suit him. "
"How about Fltzslmmons ? "
"Oh , yes. " said Hrady , pauslnc as though
to place the man named. "Fltzslmmons
wants to light Corbett , eh ? Well. Corbett
desires to arrange things with Jackson Just
at present , but the long one need not be
alarmed about getting shut out. Some time ,
and perhaps very soon , Jim will agree to
put him out In four rounds. Fltz cuts no
figure with Corbett. He will be attended to
In duo season. "
Hrady spoke enthusiastically of the treat
ment shown Corbett" in England , Ireland ,
Holland and France. .

The finals In the tennis tournament were
played last night at 6:30 : Instead ot 0:15 : , us
previously announced , and resulted In iv vic
tory for Austin. When the gaino was called
Young was sick , and , after playing two sets ,
ho defaulted the third. Consequently It would
be unfair tu criticize his play. Austin won
the games , one after the other , without using
special efforts. He did not even play his
usual game. The score- was G-0 , C-l , and the
defaulted set , G-0. What complete walk
away Austin had can be seen better by the
score of points : 21-7 , 29-15. The largest
crowd of the tournament was present and
much disappointed , coming as they did with
the expectation of seeing a good match.
Now that ho has come out on top In the
tournament , Austin's only obstacle to the
state championship lies In the person of the
present champion , Culllnghain. Of courae ,
according to the views of the partisans of
one or the other , this obstacle Is surmount
able "or not. But the opinion of the great
majority of those who have seen both play
Is Inclined to gtvo the superiority to Austin.
Culllnghaih's sere hands will bo a great dls-
dlsndvantage to him. Another disadvantage
ho must contend against Is his lack of prac
tice. And to win a good tennis game , let
alone a championship game , requires con
stant and hard practice. With such handi
capping , It does not seem possible that Cul-
llngham could win , and It would be the part
of common sense for him to wait until his
hand Is well or default the championship.
Ilut above and beyond these disadvantages
there are not a few that think Austin has
been putting up a game this year that could
down any of Cnlllngham's best last year.
This , of course , could not be proved this
year. Austin , when no played his hardest ,
put up a game much superior to any In the
tournament. Some of his strokes are good ,
and he places well , and occasionally he does
bits of brilliant playing. Hut of course he
has had no man such as Culllngham against
him.
him.Thus
Thus , the consensus of opinion and also
common sense glvo the victory to Austin
under present circumstances. Arrangements
are being made to play off the match next
Saturday If Culllngham's hand will permit.
If It does -not the game will of course he
defaulted and Austin will become champion.
ONLY A I'AHTIAL SUCCKSS.
The tournament , as a whole , may b > con
sidered only a partial success. Only four
or five players were present from outside
the city and these were not the best by any
means. Doubtless the close proximity of
the date of the Interstate meet which takes
place on the 20th of next month was the
cause of the absence of outside players.
Naturally one would rather bo an interstate
champion than a state champion. However ,
the city association must be praised for Its
efforts to make the tournament a success.
The Individual playing was not remarkable ,
but very fair. An altogether too easy game
was played. The ball was not smashed as
It should be and the play was not aggressive
enough. Austin and Johnson of Hastings
were the only ones who showed any bril
liancy In play , with perhaps Haskell. The
latter could be classed second to Austin ,
whom he made tight hard to win. His vic
tory over Haverstlck was well won and
deserves mention. With another year's prac
tice he will become n good player. He ap-
jMjars weak , In judging returns anil his
smashing of lobs Is not always successful.
Johnson did some really remarkable work
on returns. He Is an experienced player
and docs not seem to lose his head. Of
Austin enough has been said. C. H. Young
played a good , steady game without doing
any brilliant work. It Is to be regretted
that he could not show what he- could do
against Austin.

A fairly representative tcnni from tlui
members of the Omaha Cricket Cluh had to
regale themselves on n haixniet of inttd.
served up by an aggregation of cricketers
from the Union I'.iclllc shops.
Although It was u case of twelve playing
against sixteen , ( hero IK not the allghtest
excuse lo offer nu roKarils the resnt | of the
game. On this occasion , nt least , tlie Kama
was won and lo.it on Its merits ,
The batting ot the Omahas was weak
enough , but their Holding wan simply nwfiil ,
while their bowling was enough to bring
te.irs to the eyes of the oldest Inhabitant.
'In no one respect can nn excuse be found for
the hitherto victorious crew , and they deserved -
served what they got.
The effect of the club's demoralisation
was such that Its worthy president Is re
ported to have covered his face with lils
hnnds and wept.
Had It not been for Messrs. W. II. VaiiRlian
and A. U. llobb , with their 1 ! ) and 1,5 respec
tively , the club would have made a poor
showing Indeed. lloth these gentlemen
seemed to realize that they were required to
do something and they did It. Had some of
the others on the side done half as well thin
"tale ot woo" had been left untold.
For the winners , the bowling of Nealo
proved very effective , while the batting of
I'atullo , Sheppard and Ilarnett proved very
formidable to the losing side.
U might bu as well to siato that the fait
of the eleventh wicket left the Union Pa
cifies eight runs to the bnd , and the fact of
them having sixteen men to bit alone saved
them from defeat. This superiority In num
bers also1 told Its tale In the lidding.
