WITH HORSES AND HORSEMEN
Ojiciilng of tue ( ranit Circuit Races
at fletrolt Silowa 'There is
StilL Spced.
The opening of tile grand circuit last
Monday at the Grease Pointe track at Be-
trolt brought together for the first time
this year a great many of the trotters
and pacers that have been burning up the
tracks in the cast and the west In the preliminary -
liminary campaigns. As a consequence the
followers of harness racing look with keen
interest upon the first bout between the
flyers of tile 'rival sections. The number
of high class ilorses uncovered at the early
meetings Was altogether unprecedented , and
turf followers predicted a campaign of remarkable -
markablo brilliancy. When the sensational
young performers from the far west were
cut loose at Denver , St. Joseph and this
city a few weeks ago , eastern horsemen
shook their beads and prophesied that the
westerners would sweep tile board. Tile
opinion continued to prevail during the
early performances at hartford , Providence
and other eastern meetings , but toward the
end of the gatherings the doings were
enough to indicate that the east will hold
up its end.
The big purse at the Detroit meeting was
the Merchants' and Manufacturers' annual
stake of $10,000 for tIle 2:24 : class , This was
won by an eastern horse , Directum Kelly ,
the property of James Butler of New York ,
who had to lower his recora rrom zj ui
2:11 : ¼ in order to vla time money. Kelly's
principal opponent was the Colorado mare ,
11db .1 , , who quit. however , after two heats.
both of which she won , Kelly being fifth and
second. The winner , wiiiie at present owned
in the east , is a western horse , bred by Man-
roe Salisbury at I'ieasatiton , Cal. , and was
sold at auction in 1885. Ho is a 4-year-old , of
a rich : bay color , about 15,1 hands high and is
considered one of the fastest horses in train-
lag. lie is by Direct , tile son of Director ,
2:17 : , who has a trotting record of 2:18 : % and
a pacing record of 2:05 : ½ . Ito is out of the
bloodliko bay mare Rosa Ludwig , by Anteeo ,

In the 2:04 : pace easterners again won
with Frank I3ogash after a struggle extend-
lag over eight heats. Tile prominent west-
era horses , Anaconda and Chebalis , were
not In It , being flagged out at the end of
the fifth heat. The west came to the front ,
however , in the fast class on Tmursday. In
tile 2:09 : pace the great California horse ,
Searchlight , won in thrco straight heats
from a field of nine others. The tilae made ,
2:07 : % , 2:07j : , 2:06 : % , was almost equal to
the records made in the 2:01 : class in the
first three heats.

Prom a breeder's standpoint it is a remarkable -
markablo achievement to give standard
trotting records to three sisters In one afternoon -
ernoon , and it is still more worthy of mention -
tion when the three sisters are yet fillies
and at the same time are the oldest foals
of their dam. The incident referred to occurred -
curred at Terre Haute , lad , , on the afternoon -
noon of July 4. Kethay , 4 yearn , won the

being no race for 2-year.olds , the youngest ,
1Caievaia , had to go against time and trotted
on easy mile in 2:80 : , the first half being in
1:11. : and tire third quarter ofiIcinliy timed
in 0:34. : All this must have been highly
gratifying toV. . P. Ijams , the president of

The performance of the Oregon pacer
Chehalis at Denver , where lie took a record
of Interest , has attracted the attention of
horsemen all over the country. Chehalin
is a son of Altnmont anti he is out of the
fammme roduelng mare Tecora , by Cassius
, t. Clay , jr , , second dam by Brignoll , son of
Mambrino Chief , In his race at Denver
ha paced to the halt in the first heat In
1:01 : and the second quarter was covered in
0:29 : % , a feat that demonstrates his pea-
session of speed to make oven the owners of
Star Pointer , John It. Gentry and Joe
Patchen consider him as a probable rival in
the pacing brigade , Chehalis is a very
beautiful hay horse , standing only fifteen
hands high. Ills action Is easy and ghiditig ,
although ho goes rigged in hobbles , which
nra let down much lower on his legs than
most horses Wear then : . lie also carries
'
considerable welg'ht on lila toeS In addition
to ten-ounce shoes , a knowledge of which
will make horsemen regard his chances
for championship honors with suspicion ,
There have always been surprises bobbing
up In the pacing world , however , and this
queerly-rigged Oregon pacer line already
demonstrated his possession of extreme
speed and good racing qualities. If his cx-
treniely fast race so early in the season
has not injured him ho Is likely to be one
of the shining lights of pacerdom this year.
Western horseman : "The Merchant , 2:25 : ,
the Keystone farm's great young son of
The Conqueror , 2:12 : % , is clearly about the
beat 2-year-old trotter that lies thus far
showed up this season. In his race at
Omaha , Juno 28 , in which he took his record -
ord of 2:25 : , ho was easily driven to the
half by the clever reinaman , Scott McCoy ,
and had it been necessary It is believed
that the gallant youngster could have
stepped the second half about as fast as lle
did the first. The Merchant was the only
trotting yearling to take a standard record
last year. While ho is a marvelous colt ,
much of his greatness must be credited to
the careful and skillful handling of Mc-
Coy. "

PALAVEROF THE PUGILISTS
McCol nntl Corbettitgree to Get Together -
gether anil Bflil 'l'Iicir Tulle
in L IICKI FiKilt ,
The event of tile week in pugilistic cir-
des was unquestionably the signing of the
smooth : and talkative Hoosier , Kid McCoy ,
conversationalist , Jim
and the pompadoor
Corbett , for a hong-round go next Septem-
ber. These chaps have biulted and blue-
tered qutt * a while over the proposed go
and It will be a relief to the sporting ole.
wont that they have been finally brought
together even if the bout develops into
nothing more than a rehearsal. If it. abonid
pan out into an affair of this kind , it will
be a disappointment to many of the followers -
lowers of McCoy , who had hoped , perhaps
sometimes against the signs , that ho Is not
a standoff with the ox-champion in the
sure tiiiag line.
There is a touch of suspicion in the deal
from tbo fact that Kid McCoy carried his
point so easily. lie insisted that there silould
be no hitting in the- clinching or break
sways and Corbott was as steadfast in
maintaining that this should be allowed.
Yet according to the agreement finally
signed it is stipulated that the knights of
the folded digits shall break clean , It. is
explained that this backdown on the part
of Corbett was the result of a bit of
diplomacy upon the aide of W. A. Gray.
McCoy's manager. McCoy , it is said , kept
away from any meetings with Corbett because -
cause he feared that something might come
up that would queer the match. In answer
to a query Gray told Corbett one day tilat
McCoy so thoroughly despised him that ho
would not come to tile meetings for fear the
transactions would break up in a general
liglIt and ho would not get the opportunity
of fighting Corbott. in the ring , Corbett
turned white with rage when he heard that
and told Considine to agree to any kind of
an agreement in order to got the "kid" in a
ring. Corbett appears to think the coming
tight wiil ho one of ( be Bofte8t things ho has
.5'
ever fallen ibto , Some of his friends AfQ
worried about the easy manner in which
Corbett is taking the affair end are carn
estly telling him to be careful.
If the fight is on the square , it ought to
be a great battle ot boxing masters. The
two are unquestionably the superiors of eli
fighters at present in the ring as far as
pure science gocs. Men who have followed
the game seem to think Ihat McCoy gained
a very great advantage when he forced Cor-
bett to sign articles prohibiting hitting with
one arm free , % jtliotigIi It. is probable McCoy -
Coy will be the post favorite in the betting
on the coning fight , the measurements of the
inca show that Corbett ciit have all the better -
ter of the argument so far as physical con-
atruction is concerned , One point in McCoy
that shows remarkable strength is his large
wrist , It Is much larger than Corbett's and
shoWs that those short jabs of his from time
side , commonly known as the corkscrew
blow , must have tremendoUs power behind
them , Another point in. favor of McCoy is
tue length of reach : ho possesses. Ito is
well over an inch longer in that respect
than Corbott and that will stand him in
good stead at long range battling. Following -
ing are the measurements of the men :

bit queer , Corbett is a foxy sort of a guy
himself , and lie is not likely , under the
present financial stress Under which ho is
laboring , to have passed up so long a chance
to pick after a $20,000 note , unless ho had
a chance to work an extra graft himself.
After all , though , the fight may be on tIme
square , and if it should be it will certainly
be a great battle ,
While Admiral Sampson's fleet is cruising
in Cuban vntcrs , looking for more Spaniards
to annihilate , Torn Sharltey , the fistic offspring -
spring of the navy , is in New York with a
chip on his shoulder daring any and all
heavies to knock it off. Corbctt , McCoy ,
Jeffries and Maher are all within hailing
distance , but seek not the sailor's game.
Sbarkey is allowed to parade up and down
Broadway with all the airs of a victorious
man-of-war and without danger of a call.
None of the above heavyweights seem eager
to try conclusions with Sharkey. To tell
the truth , lie is too tough a proposition to
tackle , and time aspirants for Fitz's title
are all seeking tIme softest road to his crown ,
The sailor , with his bull-like style of fighting -
ing , and lila crushing strength , Is given a
wide berth , and no doubt certain heavyweights -
weights would be tickled if Torn grew ( Its-
gusted and started to lick the Spaniards.
Decrepit. old Joe Goddard Is the only fighter
svimo seems willing to have a try at. Sharkey ,
and we will soon hear of the latter giving
the Barrier man another beating. No doubt
Goddard thinks tIme loser's end of the purse
a sweet morsel these days. Il certainly
cannot lose anything , and ho aught get In
on Tons such a punch as lie did on MaImer
in their second skirmiell. But this is only
a remote possibility. Sharkey has become
so hard up that ho has come out with an
offer to meet both Corbett and McCoy in
limited round goes , but up to the present
time has received no response.
"Spike" Sullivan's match with Lavigne
still hangs fire , but the fernier says that
lie Is prepared to sign at any moment to box
Burge's victor , providing the latter places
$5,000 on his chances to win. The Irish-
American declines to box Lavigno for a
$3,000 purse , claiming that a world's championship -
pionship contest is worth more money. If
Lavigne declines meeting the Colt ho intends -
tends keeping on defeating lightweights and
further prove his claim to the championship
title. "Spike" also adds that he would not
be adverse to leasing the Lenox club for his
battle with Lavigne , providing Manager
O'Ilourke would Interpose no objection ,
Bob Fitzsimmonm. is following up his proposition -
sition to grant Corbett another chance at
him if ho presents him with 20,000 , by condescending -
descending to give Sharlcey another go if
the latter wilt reimburse him for the $15,000
ho was defrauded out of by Wyatt Earp in
'Frisco.

iliss Fish Story.
Fred Goodrich and Charley Mets came
back from Lake Quinnebaughi last week
with the biggest fish story of the season so
far sprung upon time unsuspecting public
of Omaha. They calmly malta time an-
nouncenwnt that in ammo week's outing at
this resort they caught exactly 475 blaclc
base , After another whiff at time pipe , they
relate that time fluny captives were secured
iii three days' actual fishing time and as
an example of the aridity with which the
bass tool : after the4bait , they say that they
caught sixty-three in an hour and a half.
This is at the rate of one fish per man
each three minutes-a pretty fast clip.
Goodrich and Metz are pretty veracious
chaps under ordinary circumstances and
therefore the tale may ho taken despite its
dopey flavor. There is no question that the
lakes In this section of the country are
fairly swarming with time game fIsh title
season , Big catches are reported from , all
the resorts , The great supply house of time
lakes , the big Muddy , appears to be unusually -
usually stocked. Fred Goodrich says that
lie was standing aim the shores of the inlet
which supphis Quinnehaugh with its water
and saw whole schools of base passing in ,
Goodrich has gone back to Quinnebaugh for
another whirl.

rods of time weight almost unheard of a
few years ago , are all the vogue. It is natu.
rat that with a call for fIne and light rods
there should ho a corresponding demand
for flno tackle. Artificial baits , such as
flies , spoons , etc. , are growing in favor rapidly -
idly , and the man who uses worms or hiw
bait seems to he dropping out of existence.
From this it may be gathered that the do.

on the l'appio , A few have been shot on
the Island , too , during the last week.
It has been decided to hold the fall shooting -
ing tournament of the Dupont Gun club on
September 21 , 22 and 23. Some of the
details of the affair wili ho arranged by tIm
comnmitteo 1mm charge during tIme coming
week.
Prank Fogg cut quIto a caper at Billy
hlnrdin's shoot last Thursday , lie got in on
first money in every one of the ten events ,
In four of timem 1w shot fifteen straight and
in the other six he shot fourteen cut of
fifteen , mucking a score of 144 out of a pos-
aible 150. Ito was jogging with I.uck on
lien blind side , for every time ho missed a
target all time test did , the consequence be-
lag that Ito was in on first money always.
The Dupont Gun club bad a team over at
the liardin shoot with the Intention of
carrying oft the prize , but owing to a lack
of entries the event was declared oft , The
boys shot in the individual events and
made nice scores ,
There will be the usual varied program at
time weekly meet of time Dupont club this
afternoon and quite an attendance is cx-
peeled ,
The party bound for the Big horn country ,
consisting of Judge Ives , Frank Gaines and
lila brother , M. A. Hall , Br , Connor , Charles
A. Goss and Judge Keysor , got oft last
\Vednosday. Some of them will be back in
three wetika , and others will not return
for six weeks. .
Whtlo Billy Townsend was in a plmiio-
sophical mood the other day ho declared :
"The popular outcry against the expert at
trap-shooting events this year is not only
likely to bar the professionals from many
such gatherings next year , but is else going -
ing to make It hard for an amateur expert
to put in an appearance at some of thcrn ,
The paid expert , or rather the professional
expert , is frowned down upon by tite amateurs -
ateurs , net so much on account of his be-
lag a professional , but chiefly because he
is more expert than they arc , has more op-
Imortunitics for practice and is therefore far
better fitted to capture the bulk of time
purses titan are the big majority of the
amateurs. This fact has been demon-
stnatcd hereabouts , For this reason professionals -
fessionals and manufacturers' agents are
gradually being barred from taking part In
many tournaments , or at least are barred
train doing anything except shooting for
targets only. The result has been that
amateurs bavo turned out well at several
such tournaments , for example that at
Sioux city , but only to meet the caine old
fate-to be skinned by their more expCrt
brethren who belong to the amateur class ,
It is only a question of time , therefore , before -
fore another wail goes up from time
amateurs , who will soon find that they need
as much protection from the expert amateur
as they do from the expert professional. "
In this connection a new handicapping
scheme lies been suggested and has been
tried with success at some of the eastern
resorts. The experts have been placed on
scratch and tlmey allow all the others an
extra target or so handicap in the ten nail
fifteen birds events , according to ability
shown , and two or amoco in time twenty and
twenty-five target events. As soon as a
man shows ho is receiving too much handicap -
cap , and the score will soon indicate that ,
lme should ho promoted amid have his Imandi-
cap cut down. Time scheme has worked
very satisfactorily in small events and it
would be aim interesting experiment to see
how It works in a tournament.

WHIST.
The most recentdcvelopments in whist
seem to be almost entirely along the ine
of trump management , the most promni-
neat feature iii the beat known modern eye-
tome apparently being some method of 1mm-
dicating trump strength or a desire to flail
such strength in the hand of the panther ,
This idea undoubtedly had its root in time
so-called "Invitation game , " In which the
original leader opens up lila attack in such
a manner us to iathicato to his Partner
! ! 1.L.J-- _ _ - . . . ; . . --i. ; . , , : via _ . _ , . _
whether or not a trump lead wauhi suit
him if the partner had strength enough to
risk it. In speaking of the good and bad
points of this game a writer in the Now
York Sun remarks timnt its chief trouble is
that the partner often feels unduly encouraged -
aged and Boomm gets into the habit of leading -
ing trumps on very slight provocation , In
some bands this works very well , in oth-
era it proves very disastrous , but the to-
stIlt has been that time good almots have so
overshadowed the bad that many modern
players have drifted into the habit of lead-
lag trtmmlms for one suit. Whoa It "works"
tlmis is very nice anti the practice Is responsible -
sponsiblo for most of the swings that we
see nowadays in compass genies. The
amusing part of it is that some players
lead trumps for suits that have no existence -
ence except in their own imagination , they
are so afraid to go back once more just to
sea whether or not their partners really
Intro the suit , The most inveterate invitation -
tion Players sill occasiotmally lead a singleton -
gleton amid It would acorn as it those occa-
alone were especially selected by the luirt-
ncr for leading short trumps ,
The hands front which most players are
likely to be tempted to make a speculative
trump lead for one stilt are those in which
time combInation of cards in the long stilt
is such that one cannot niche an Invitation
lead of a small card without stretching the
principle a good deal , Take time case of a
long suit headed by A K (1 , for instance ,
with four average trumps and no re-entry
cards , To lend a small card from tIme 101mg
suit is to risk a very small card winning
tIme first trick for the adversaries anti the
eecond round of the suit beiimg rutted. To
lead a short suit front such a hand is to
conceal its possibilities from time partner
and to "run" witim tIme strong suit is Irac-
tically to give up all hope of making more
thnmm two tricks in it.
The common-sense way to manage such
Imamuls is to show the suit OnCe nrni timen to
lead time best supporting card the hand con-
tcttns , so as to give time partner a chance
to come to your assistance if ho can , but
at the same time to warn him that. you
have no ro-entry cards and cannot aecom-
plish anything lit the suit without his as-
sistancc.

of a Lecturer"-Jarroid and Sons-Dr. Andrew -
drew Wilson , the well known writer on
popular science , gives many amusing aimec-
dotes of lecturers amid their audiences. Moat
irritating to the former is a provincial
habit of turmming heads "en macso" when a
( lear creaks , to ascertain who is coming 1mm ,
Dr.'ilsomm tells a story of a lecturer vho ,
when any one Imappemmed to comu 1mm hate
in the usual clumsy fashion , was in time
habit of stopping abort and watching limo
intruder to his sent , generally with the ef-
feet of making him hook sheepish and ills-
concerted. It happened , however , one day ,
while lie was lecturIng in a provincial
town , that lie was interrupted by a gentleman -
man coming in late with a particularly
irritating pair of creaking boots. The lee-
turer stopped , nccordiimg to his custom , and
stared at time intruder , who seemed to be
not in the least consciotms that till eyes
were upon him , At length , getting out of
patiemmce , the lecturer , in an icy tone , saul :
"I ant waiting for you , sir , " Amareiitly
quite unmoved the pffender spent a few
seconds in nrramngimmg lila coat on Imis chair ,
