LINCOLN , Sept , 1. ( Special to The lite. )
The home team easily took the game from
the foreigners today , playing the shortest
is- came yet witnessed on the homo Grounds ,
lasting only one hour and Iwcnty-fivo min
utes. The feature of the game w.as the
timely hard hitting of Buck librlght , who
cleared the bases twlco at a critical time.
Ills playing nt second was also ot the best.
McKlbbcn , although credited with two errors ,
made a moat phenomenal catch of a long
drive to contcrfleld. I'cdrocs is also credited
with a grand stand play. In the first Inning
Pedroes got to llrst on an error o Holmes'
and came In oru McKlbben's terrific drive
to the left field fence. In Iho sixth 1'cdroea
led off with a scorching hit between short
and third and McKlbben got first on balls.
A saorlflco by I'eauigney advanced them a
H base , and Ebrlght's drive to left for two
iv : bags brought them In. Hoffman returned
the ball to second , but Ebrlght was flying
past that bag and Iltirrls shot It to Holmes.
It went through his legs and Uuck regis
tered at home. It was nearly the name In
the eighth. I'cdroes got to first on an error
of short , and McKlbben advanced him to
third on a. double. Pcqulgncy struck out ,
but Ebright slammed It to the Eonco. on a
long drive. It went through the 6nly crack
In that fence and Uuck caino home.
DCS Molncs got one In the first on Holmes'
Jilt , steal of second , and wild throw of Speer
to catch him at third. In the fourth Holmes
led off with a bunt single , was advanced to
thlnl on a wild pitch. Speer walked back
after the ball , which aroused Iluckcrlno's
Ire nnd he took him out , put Sullivan be
hind the bat , sent Deveraux to first and
called Fcqulgncy oft the bench. TliU next
man got a base on balls , but Burrla flew out
to left. McFadden struck out , but nil error
of Dovcraux's let Holmes score. Some fine
work by Johnson , after lining tha bases , shut
out. further scoring. In the fifth JlcFarlanJ
Kol a base on balls and scored on hits by
Holmes unl Fisher. After that Johnson
had them 3.1 his mercy , and not a man
reached third.
The game waa called at 3 o'clock In order
to permit the two clubs to take the 5:30 : train
for Dea Molncs , where the Ebrlghts open

Intorrntlni ; Content thit Hn llcoti In Pro-
Kre for tlie I.nfit TWII Wrrl < ,
During the past two weeks the tennis
players on the Shrlner courts nt Twenty-
sixth tiTid Hnrney streets have been cloyly
wrapped up In n. private tournament of
their own , In which an Vitcrest has been
shown that equals anything ever seen In
the city before In any similar contest.
In the tin ee courts which belong to the
boarders nt the Hhrlner and n few friends
from outside there ( ire fourteen plnyers ,
nnd every one ot these entered for both
singles nnd doubles. Two of them , however ,
weie unable on account of business en
gagements to take part In the play , and
several of the early matches accordingly
rt-ent by default. Since Monday , August 20.
however , the three courts have been kept
busy , nnd the large gathering of spectators
from the neighborhood Imti given a very
lively appearance to the corner.
Several of the competitors were almost
novices nt the iame , but one of the Inci
dents that lent interest to the contests was
this success with which the beginners held
their own against those whu had -had
greater experience. The first of the three
courta was played on before the end of
April , and from the beginning of last June
every night has seen the courts busy from
0:30 : until dark. And the game has been
played with u Kpsl which guaranteed that
the players would make rapid progress nt
the game , One of the greatest evils of
Binall club1) ) , too , has been to a. large degree
obviated by sending delegations to iilay on
neighboring courts , and by the infusion
of new blood by Inviting visitors from
other parts of the city.
A tournament was accordingly the only
fitting termination to a FCUSOU of such
zealous work In the courts , and the project
once conceived was entered into with n
zest lhat was characteristic of those among
whom It originated. First nnd second
l > rlzca were offered In hhiglcs , and first
prizes In doubles , and every compeltor (
played throughout the event as If his life
depended on the result. Pairs were drawn
by lot In the doubles , the object being to
equalize to some extent the strong players
and the weak. The llnnl round of the
doubles was begun on Wednesday night and
finished on Thursday. O. G. Pope and Ilny
Staley put up a hard Rame against H. H.
Harder und W. O. Gilbert , but were de
feated after a match which hunjr In the
balance until the last ball had fallen dead
to the ground. The winners wpre awarded
a pair of silk belts , on which the words
"S. T. C. First Prize Doubles. 1S9I , " hud
been handsomely worked in silk by Mrs.
Walter H. Williams , wife of one of the
players.
.As luck would have It the singles also
He between the samp men who came out
ahead In the doubles , 'titid Mr. Harder and
Mr. Gilbert will settle which of them shall
draw first and which second prize In a
match game to be played tomorrow night.

Tlie greatest harness horse In the country
now is Robert J. On Friday nCtornoon at
Fort Wayne , liul. . . lie traveled tlio fastest
ml to over trotted or paced by any liorse In
the world , going a mllu against time In two
minutes tlireo and three-fourths seconds.
Maaco ( and Flying Jib have last the laurels
they gullied by pacing the distance In 2:04.
It In only a tow years slnco a horse that
could travel faster than 215 ; was considered
as a phenomenon , but there hnvc been great
strides made In harness racing slnco the
days of Dexter and Goldsmith Maid , and
the world's record Is now getting near to the
two-minute mark. K tlio came progress Js
made In trotting and pacing ( or the next
two years as has been made In the past
couple of years there seems to bo no reason
able doubt but the record will scrape a.
friendly acquaintance with Father Time at
tlio 2:00 : stopping place , llobert J's per
formance was a highly creditable one , too.
Ho went the llrst and last quarters in 1:00 : %
and paced from the II rat to Uiu third quarter
) n 1:03 : under a steady pull. If he had been
driven out the whcle distance It la evident
from his strong finish that lie could have
traveled the mile In a full second less time.
But he has put up a mark fur the best of
thorn to travel against for the remainder of
this season , and probably all of
next , llobert J has made two records this
year which will become as famous In turf
history as the fast time nmila by Maud
S , which stood tor BO long. Ho lias paced
the three fastest limits ever paced by uny
horse on any track , averaging 2:05 : for each
heat , and now he surmounts this great
record by making- new mark for the
world. .Still this hits been 11 year of turf
sensations , and all of the records have suf
fered. The horses have seemed toKO
faster , the tracks have been In better shape ,
and best of all , harness horses have the
almost Individual attention of the turf lov
ing public. In lookingfor - a possible rival
for llobert 3 , the public will nave to turn
to the trotters this year , for Robert J has
met mid defeated all of his possible rival
pacers. He walked away from Online , and
beat Joe Patched to a standstill In u special
matched race. He distanced Flying- Jib
and Mascot "can never lower his own record
oC 2:01 : , for the best judges agree that he
made the effort of his life under the most
favorable conditions when he paced the
mllu 1n the above' time- . Morris Jones saya
Unit he will make Allx beat 2:01 : this year ,
and nho will be sent against this record at
Tci re Haute before the close of the season ,
and for some time Andy McDowell has been
Betting- her Into shape for that purpose. If
she ever can bent .2.01' It will be this year.
It Is more than likely that Alls will be put
to the supreme tent ot her powers this year
and then turned , Jjita a , brood mare. Her ex
treme speed Is a.-lye't , unknown In quantity ,
for he has novfer , been pushed to the limit
under the most favorable conditions.
Fantasy la the deasori's fast 4-year-old. She
will enter the lists ; us a 5-year-old with u
record of 2:07 : or better , and she may be
able to beat Nancy'.Hanka' mark of 2:01 :
before going stale and being sent to the
breedingfarm. . 3Uitt "one thingIs certain ,
the horse that lowers the new record will
have to be In the ! finest fettle , have the
most perfect track r and conditions , und
have the greatest. amount of speed anil en
durance ever yet displayed by any hprse.
"C
The closing day 1C the Northwestern
Breeders' meeting at AVashlngton park In
Chicago was marked by Directly making
a now world's r cprd.for 2-year-old pacers ,
Tinder very unfavorable conditions this' won
derful little horse paced a mile In Silo } ; ,
beating Onllne's heretofore Invincible mark
of 2 ill , mads a rkftrple of years tigo. Di
rectly Is a most promisingcolt. . He Is a
worthy son of a , , worthy sire , and is almost
a duplicate qf .fds .Hire , Direct , lie Is the
pride of MonroeSalisbury's stables , and of
the Paclllc slope , for'lhat matter. He can
and probably will po' ' even faster than this
before the close of the present season , but
the Question arises , will he continue to Im
prove In speed , or will he deteriorate , as
others equally as promising have done ? The
stables of all the trainers are being filled
with fast youngsters , horses that can go
the mile in less than 2:15 early In the
season , but nearly all of them have gone
back In their succeeding campaigns. Take
Lemi Hill , for Instance. Slit paced a mile
as a 2-year-old In 212 ; . and this year as
a 3-year-old she has been unable to equal
her record as a 2-year-old , although , she
lias been campaigned since the opening of
the season. And Online , the horse upon
whom the western people pinned their faith
as a world beater , and from whom the
eastern people expected wonders , lias not
progressed with age according- his rec
ord oa a 2-year-old. He did manage to
knock a fraction of a second off of his
2-year-old record of 2:11 : by traveling In
2:10 : % as n 3-year-old , but he has not\ been
In condition for racing this year , and while
ho has managed to travel some fust heats ,
ho has not been n wage earner by any
means. This Is a subject which Is beginning
to receive some attention from horsemen.
A few years ago a horse was not considered
old enough to make Its best effort until
from 6 to 8 years old and carefully brought
Into the best of condition. Now the fast
youngsters are brought out and sent for
nil they nre worth during the whole season
and go through hard campaigns on the
Brand circuits. It would appear ns if the
horses have their stamina absorbed Ingoing
for records while they are young and grow
ing , and as they mature grow stale In
stead of faster.
*
Among the money 'earners this season Is
Salisbury's Expressive. This horse has been
started on every track where Salisbury has
taken his string this year , and has always
managed to land a portion of the purse In
every event. Salisbury Is having good luck
this year , and his horse Azote , has largely
Increased his windings. When he started
out with his trlng In the spying he had
picked Don Lowell out ns his best animal ,
and "thought that he would prove to be one
of the coming horses oa the turf this year.
But as soon as the campaign was fulrty
begun he saw that Don Lowell was not In
It , and that Azote , "the plow horse , " was
the best one In the stable. Don Lowell was
a most promising- horse at the close of the
season of 1SD3.
*
The meeting at Rush Park , Indep&ndence ,
la. , was a fairly successful one , and the
people witnessed same great racing. The
kite shaped track was kept In the- best of
condition , and the- weather was nil that
could be desired , while , the attendance was
good each day. Th re wns a great field of
speedy nags , and the time was fast , al
though not sensotlonal and on the record
breaking order. The Nebraska horse. On
line , mode a. new mark for himself on this
track Friday ofjternoon by pacing the mile
in 2:07 : % .
The owner of Bell * 'ara has "bemm a suit
to recover damawi * from Bui Doble be
cause the laUerriiijwtiot given nelle a fair
show In the rap H , ] on the grand circuit.
Belle Is u specdy-dmmal and was entered
in nearly all therei'MUs ' In her class , but
she was drawn JVomr'lhe ' most of them on
some pretext or3r Mother , and now her
owner pays that ! thlh was done In order to
Rive some other iortfe In Doble'n string-
better show of Atoning. The outcome of the
suit Is regarded wlui considerable Interest
by nil horsemen , for It may establish a
precedent for trainers and drivers In the
future. Belle VaiJ will elart at the Des

gram to The Hee. ) Daddy Hulett. Ihe big
luminary of the Merchants hotel , Free
Paine , conductor on the Northwestern , and
Thomas Ilrcnnen of Hrennen , Love & Co. ,
Omaha , are here In mortal combat with
the chicken , It Is one of the most formid
able armies that 1ms ever Invaded the
quiet precincts of the western sandhills ,
and up to date they have succeeded In
actually killing one chicken , an old cock
that had been caught In a trap , nnd which
was inn down by General Iluiett's nld dog
Scott and the celebrated pup , Popsey. Th
old.cock gave them a merry chase of some
thing like three miles across the open coun
try , but Hying Into and getting tungled tip
with a barb wire fence , Hulett , Pnlne nnd
Hrennen came up , surrounded nnd killed
him Hulett has u 45-00 Win
chester rllle , and Paine and Ilren-
nen use -nothing- but their swords.
In coming in from the Held this evening
Old Do Scott pointed a line bevy of
meadow talks , nnd tomorrow Hulett , Paine
nnd Hrennen will sally forth with a tram
mel net and endeavor to capture them.
General Hulett Rays that la the way they
always catch lar'ts In New York and Lon
don. The pup , Pcpsey , has not been at his
best since the troops have been here , for
on the night of the first day'a forage he
tackled lirennen'a rubber coat nnd ate
about two yards out of the back of It. and
yesterday , when chasing the old cock re
ferred to , he was still so full of rubber and
ran so fast that he stretched out to nearly
eight times his normal length , and , It Is
feared , can never get back into his original
beautiful and graceful shape. Pnlnc talked
about sending to.Omaha for a Qatllng gun
for tomorrow's hunt , hut General Hulett
finally convinced him that the net was all
they needed. The eight freight cars they
haa sidetracked here to transport their
game back to Omuha are being loaded with
baled hay. They will probably return lo
Omalia Tuesday , nnd the Omaha nnd Bemts
Park Gun clubs should meet them at the

CHICAGO , Sept. 1. Peter Jackson ar
rived In the cltv from New York. He does
not think the Sioux City club medns busi
ness. He Is of the opinion it Is a side ismie
backed by Brady et nl "I went to New
York , " said Peter , "lo find out exaclly how
I stood with Corbett. 1 came away dis
appointed. He gave me no satisfaction. I
was satlsllexl from the first that he did not
want to meet me In the ring. Who and
what Is the Sioux City Athletic club ? So
far not one name has been signed to the
dispatches. There Is responsible head
to the concern. I understand a representa
tive of the club Is In Chicago. I have not
seen or heard anything from him. I nm
sick and tired of this talk and will not
advertise Corbett any more. I have no
faith whatever In the Sioux City offer.
Corbett may give me a light some time , but
It will be a year or two from now , when I
am not In shapeor condition to meet him.
Sly money is still In the hands of Stake
holder Davis of this city , and although
the former match Is off , I will not withdraw
the stakes until I nm satisfied that Corbett
Oocs not mean business. I" will remain In

to meet the representatives of the Sioux

DARTMOUTH. Sept. I. To tlio Krcat dis
appointment of yachtsmen there was n thick
haze today over tlio waters of Iho bay and
out to sea and the wind
was light from the
north , with little prospect of. freshening.
Tills wns not calculated to cnnso any degree
of enthusiasm anywhere , especially as the
decision of the sailing comtnlttoo of UIB
Hoynl Dartmouth Yacht club yesterday In not
awarding tlio prize to Vigilant became tlio
race couM not be finished within Iho Urns
limit of eight hours lias caused consldcrabla
dissatisfaction.
Both Vigilant and Satnnlta. were entered
today for the race arranged for yachts over
forty rating. The regattn was under Iho
auspices of Iho Start Bay Yacht club. The
prize was & 5 guineas and the course was a
trlatifiiilar one , the distance tlire times
around Leliiff forty-two miles ,
Vigilant got the best ot the first struggles
for position , and at 10:30 : a. m. . when the
btartlng C m was fired , the American yacht
had Iho windward position and the lead and
crossed the line ahead of Satanlta , The
limes nt the start' were : Vigilant , 10:30:06 : : ;
Satantta , 10:30:12. : Both yachts Rot .away
carrying all plain sail. It was a. free reach
to the western mark In a light but steady
nlr. Vigilant from the start drew slowly
away and put about a dozen lengths between
herself and -Satanlla before n mile of Iho
first reach had been completed. The wind ,
however , began to get lighter and the haze
thicker. Before the western mark was
readied the two yachts were almost obscured
from view. It was seen , though , that when
they were about half way out to the western
mark the two yachts had set their spinnakers
and that Iho wind off shore had hauled aft.
When the boats rounded the. western mark
at the end of the first leg on the first round
they were- completely obscured from view
ashore , nnd consequently no accurate time
could be taken. At 11:30 : a. in. a slight lift
In the haze showed dimly the two racers
beating up to the eastern mark , with Vigilant
holding a long lead , but on a different lack
from Satanlta , The latter was standing
further in shore and beating along the land ,
appearing to bo going faster than Vigilant ,
though the latter was In a better position
for making the eastern mark.
Having come about for the third time near
land , Satanlta stood off straight for the east
ern mark and was soon afterwards again
lost sight of In the tog. Vigilant had previ
ously disappeared In the same ghostly sur
rounding and the wind dropped to a mer&
land breeze.
Satanlta made a great gain , it waa after
wards seen , by standing In slioro and she. got
a fine land breeze when she eventually stood
away for the eastern mark and was to wind
ward of her competitor. Vigilant rounded
the mark Just a little ahead of the Satanlta. .
and was holding her own apparently at the
commencement of the broad reach to the
homo marl : , but ncarlng that point Satanlta
pulled ahead and at the first end of the first
round the British yacht had a lead of forty-
six seconds on the cerjterboarder. The Mines
of the two yachts at the end of the first
round viere as follows : Satanlta , 12:34:35 : : ;
Vigilant. 12:55:21. : :
Vigilant appeared to be gaining as the two
yachts set their eplnntkers for the run to
the westward mark on the second round ,
The- wind was then about northwest aha
It veered n trifle toward ihe east as they
again disappeared In the foggy haze on their
way westward , Only a slight air was stir
ring and both yachts were soon enveloped In.
the haze , and consequently for some tlina
after nothing could be recorded of their move
ments from the shore ,
Now and then the fog would lift a llttls
ami a brief glimpse was caught of the two
yachts < m their way to the western mark
on the second round. The Vigilant began to
creep up to Satanlta and eventually over
hauled her.
Satnnlta was towed In at 5:22 : p. m. , hav
ing given up the race , and the Vigilant was
declared the winner after both yachts had
boon becalmed for a long time.
KXttl.Ibll YACHTING GOSSIP ,
Dunrnvcii Will Clmllrngo for America's Cup
.Agulii Next ScitROii ,
LONDON , Sept. 1-The Field In its
yntchlng- article says today Hint Lord Dun-
raven and others who form the syndlcato
which will build -a yucht to challenge for
America's cup desire that the next contest
for that much coveted cup should take placu
off Newport , It. I , , Instead ot In the vi
cinity of Ne\v York , In order that the con
testing yachts may avoid being harassed
by excursion steamers. It Is also suggested
that the challenger should not be com
pelled to name the yacht until some tlmo
set near the race , FO thru In case several
ynchta are building they can select Iho
best. The dimensions , It Is also proposed ,
should be stated according to this rule.
Another point awaiting- decision is the
length of load line and measurement with
the crew on board ,
A member of the yacht association has
written a letter to the Field , in which he
says C.corge Gould should not have nc-
cepted the silver cup of the Iloyal London
club , won on August B , In the race around
the Isleof Wight , when , It IH claimed.
Vigilant broUe the rule relating to signaling
for more water , and that therefore the cup
musl be considered a graceful gift by Inn
prince of Wales , nnd not ns having been
won by Vigilant.
