TWO BOWING EITALS. Interesting Gossip About the Teemer Gaudaur BoatEace. THE SCULLERS' STILES COMPARED Eome Particular Bemarks About the SL Loni3 Champion. EYEEITHING EEADI FOE THEIBEACE On Friday next the sculling match between John Teemer and J. G. Gaudaur, for 1,000 a side, will take place over the McKeesport course. The stakes are up, and it Is left to The Dispatch to select a referee, or for the sporting editor of this paper to act himself. The race is straight away, and the distance to ho rowed will be about four miles. The race is undoubtedly creating considerable interest throughout Western Pennsylvania, and, ac cording to present intentions, excursion trains are to be run from various places in Eastern Ohio to McKeesport the day of the race. The somewhat new feature here of a straight away race ought to be au attractive one, because a race of that kind affords every opportunity to spectators on the steamers to see every inch of the race, and a good straight away race is worth looking at. Speaking on this point the other day to the writer, Gaudaur said: "I certainly think that a straigltt-away race is the best for everybody. I know it suits me best, as I claim that turning a stake boat breaks a man all up. He gets out of his stroke and has to almost stop, and it demands a very great effort to get speed on the boat again. Again, as soon as about a mile is rowed a rower begins to fret and worry about getting to his JACOB O. stake all right He haB to be constantly look ing round, and even then there is a possibility of getting his eye onto the wrong stake boat." The writer saw both contestants row over tho course on Friday. The course is an excellent one. and Gaudaur likes it extreme!) well. He probably never looked in better condition in Lis life, which reflects great credit on his trainer, AL Haxnm. On Friday, when the St. XJouis man got fairly down to work, he sent his boat through the water just as gracefully as a swan. He is a powerful rower and can keep his boat on an even keel almost as well ds could Hanlan In his best day. He is not a last striker, as on Friday he never seemed to exceed about 31 to the minute, But Gaudaur seems to have changed his stjle somewhat since he last rowed here. When he sculled over the McKeesport course he had about as long a reach forward as one could expect to see and he pulled his scull through the water with remarkable power and accomplishment, finishing well back. On Friday, however, he didn't get near so far forward and finished his stroke with his elbows projecting considerably out. His boat was gilding along smoothly enough, but the least swell would have certain ly disturbed lit sadly under the' circumstances. The slight change of style may be acceptable to some judges, but all theories are against it. The more arm work there is most certainly will the rower be the more handicapped both in staying power and speed. Hanlan's style compared with that of the late James Kenforth settles this point. Gauaaur's natural length of reach ought to enable him to use a long, sweeping Stroke in a way that w ould keep his boat al ways in good motion. However, he is confident of victory, but the probabilities are that after the first mile or two his speed will wane- bo cause of the def ct aboi e named. Teemer rowed the full length of tho course finishing at a rate of 32 to the minute. He started to row a trial on Thursday evening just at dusk but run into a railroad tic that was floating down the river. His trial was, there fore, postponed and maybe rowed to-day or to morrow. He isroniug with his usnai dash, but on Friday made the spray fly considerably. He has plenty of speed and feels confident of uuisvajing meat xxiuis representatlt e. flow- J JOHN TEEMEE ever, the race promises to be a terrific one for one or two miles and then stamina will tell the tale. So far the betting on the race has not been heavy, as almost all the local money is for Teemer. The two scullers are old opponents, and are both ex-cbampions. Gaudaur won the championship lrom Teemer in 1SSG, and a year later the former retained the title by defeating Hanlan. Tbc latter subsequently regained the title bv defeating Gaudaur. and then Teemer took the laurels irom H anlan. Gandanr then had another try for the title against Teemer. but the latter was victorious. These records ?brt w that Gaudaur is a dangerous man for any body to tackle. Tne race will be rowed about C o'clock in tho afternoon. The steamers will lcao McKees port wharf about 4 o'clock. Hanlan, John A. St. John and other prominent scullers and patrons of the sport are expected to be present. M. G.

Piiiladeltiiia, September 7. The new steel cruiser Philadelphia was launched at Cramp's shipyards, this city, at 11:12 this morning. Added interest was given to the occasion by the presence of a number of dis tinguished guests, chief among them being Mrs. Harrison, wife or the President, and Mrs. John "Wananiaker. The rumor that President Harrison might be present served no doubt to attract a great many people, and when the vessel slid off the ways fully 200,000 persons were assembled in and around the great shipyard. The Philadelphia is the fifth vessel of that name in the navy. The first two were primitive crafts and served in the Revolu tion until sunk in battle. The third, the most celebrated of the name, was con structed in 1799, and was a frigate of 1,240 tons, fitted out with 36 guns and carrying 300 men. In 1630 she was wrecked off Tripoli and her commander and crew taken prisoners. After she had been fitted out by the enemy she was recaptured by Captain Decatur and burned. The fourth Phila delphia was obtained from the merchant service for the navy and served through the civil war. The new vessel is officially reckoned as cruiser Ho. 4, and is the fourth in size oi the unarmored cruisers provided for the new navv. Unlike the vessels already con structed, her official test will not be rated according to horsepower but fixed speed; contract stipulates a speed of 19 knots; un less this is reached large deductions wm De made in the contract price. The cruiser's length is 315 feet; beam, 48 feet; draught, GATTDATTB. l'Ji feet and displacement, 4,324 tons. Her main battery will consist of 12 C-inch rifles, while her secondary battery will be com posed of 2 Gatlings, 4 6-pounder. Hotchkiss, 2 3-pouuder Hotchkiss, 1 1-pounder Hotch kiss and 2 57-miilimeter guns. HO BISOS BEYOND Tflft E0CEIE8. A Cnrlons Indian Legend That Accounts for Their DUnppearance. St. Louis Ulobe-Dcmocrat. Ho white man ever saw a buffalo west of the Kockies. The Indians of the North west have a legend to account for this. Many moons ago, they say, some Indians were hunting buffalo on the other side of the range they were plentiful over there then. An old medicine man told them where to find a big herd which, he said, was led bv a red bull calf. The Great Snirit would give them all the buffaloes they de sired, but the red calf must not be killed. If it was killed the Great Spirit would punish them severely. The bravest started out, found the buffa loes and slaughtered them by the hundreds. "When they looked among the carcasses the body ot the red calf was found. It was never known who killed it, but they say the baffaloes all disappeared and were never again seen on the other side of the Eockies. S0XGS THAT iEYEB GET OLD. Certnln Melodies That Are Always Favor ites With tho Public St. I.oulj Globe-Democrat. Minstrelsy may grow old as the hills, and companies may keep on putting flashy AT -WORK. novelties on the stage, but the people will never get over enjoying a sentimental bal lad or a pathetic song of plantation life; any of Steve Foster's, "My Old Kentucky Home," or "Nelly Gray." A simple song about babies and a parent's love of a man for a woman, when well sung, brings an encore every time. Topical songs will always be relished, but the audiences are growing more and more critical, and the music must be sprightly and the wit neatly worked out to secure a hit for the sinner. The smaller the town the more the love songs and negro melodies are appreciated, and no matter how familiar a song is, a sympathetic male voice will al ways make it a go. - Venom Inhaled With tho Air, And imbibed with the water of a malarious locality, has still a certain antidote.

The Long Looked-for Good Times Coming With theXhange of Weather. EEF0EH OF MOTIKG DAI TO BE PUSHED One of the most important financial trans actions that have ever taken place in Pitts burg has just been closed up, The H, C. Frick Coke Company having made the Fidelity Title and Trust Company its trus tee to secure an issue of bonds to the amountoi 52,500,000. Of this amount about $1,000,000 have already been placed in Pittsburg. The remainder of the loan, 51, 600,000, is for sale by the Fidelity company. Tne bonds bear 6 per cent interest and run 30 years. Heretofore it has been the custom in large deals of this kind to apply to Eastern trust companies. It is agreeable to note that this is no longer necessary, nor in any way excusable, as there aro home institutions of sufficient standing to attend to any business of a financial nature, no matter how great the amount involved. The success attending the placing of this large loan is quite a triumph for Pittsburg, showing, as it does, that she is fully competent to manage her own affairs without outside help, and, if noed be, to lend a helping hand to her sister cities in time of need. It is to be hoped that this transaction will open the way to others of equal er even greater importance. Tho summer is ended. What of the harvest? Those who read SradstreeVt and R. G. Dun & Co.s reports, which appeared in The Dis patch yesterday, found an answer to the question. The labors of the husbandman have been munificently rewarded. "With un stinted liberality the generous soil has re sponded to all demands made upou It. Large crops assure an abundance of food, at reason able prices. Famine may stalk forth in other lands, but it is impossible here. This country has plenty, and to spare. . Agriculture lies at the foundation of all busi ness. When it prospers everything else flour ishes. When it languishes every other industry is depressed. The merchant and the manu facturer are as much interested in the crops as the farmer, and arrange .their bnsiness and calculate profit or loss, activity or idleness, ac cording as they are large or small. The pros perity of a nation is to be judged by the prod uce of its soil rather than by the number of its manufactories. Agriculture is subordinate to no industry that is prosecuted by man. Vyith out it be would soon return to baroansm, sub sisting by the chase. m The prospect of good crops sustained busi ness throughout tho summer in t"he face of a number of important failures and wide-reaching labor troubles, which, under other condi tions, would have precipitated a panic, and the reality gives assurance of a prosperous fall and winter trade, under the stimulus of which tho danrdng3 of a revival are already seen and felt. Pittsburg is fortunate among cities. She is almost self-sustaining. Being a creditor, there is a steady stream of money flowing into her lap, to be used in tho expansion of local busi ness. What she has is her own, to do with it as she, elects. This gives her standing in the financial world, and is a certain guarantee against reverses. A crash that would shake Pittsburg would leave very little standing of any other city in the Union. And so, under highly favorable conditions, this hive of industry, this financial Gibraltar, is entering upon the fall and winter campaign under able generals and with a full commissa riat All of her great industries are keeping step to the music of improvement Already far in advance of the business of last year, the remaining months of 1889 will show still greater expansion. All that is needed to meet the ex pectations of the most exuberantfancyis strict adherence to the enlightened, but, at the same time, conservative, policy, which has hitherto been the guiding star of all her business ven tures. Tho scheme for changing moving day to May 1 is not dead by any means, but only sleeping. The committee in whose hands the matter rests nas delayed action on account of the absence of a large number of property holders during the summer. As they are returning, tne propo sition will soon be put in shape for final action. That the change is necessary from almost every point of view, and in the interest of tho health and comfort of the large community of -mners. -ana oi no possible detriment to the landlords, is generally admitted, and that it will be adopted there is scarcely a doubt Its popu larity will carry it through. The Law Committee of the New York Stock Exchange has decided that a "put or call, spread or straddle," does not become a binding contract upon a member of the Exchange un less a notice that the stock which the option calls for shall be delivered to or required from the maker of the privilege. Until such time as the holder of the privilege signifies his inten tion of his purpose in regard to stock, the paper which he holds as a guarantee against loss Is practically worthless. if the holder decides to put or call, the shares as per option, and so notifies the maker of the privilege, ana gives the required 24 hours' notice, then his claim becomes a prior Hen, and he will be protected under the consti tution of the Stock Exchange, otherwise his paper is worthless, and whatever redress is open to him must bo obtained through the courts. If the contract bo held until date of expiration and tho holder can prove that he has suffered a monetary loss, and the writer of the paper has anything to levy upon, he may doubtless obtain relief. Business last week showed improvement all round. There were no weak spots outsldothe Exchange, and even there a more buoyant feel ing was apparent although it did not manifest itself in the way of sales. The improvement in the money market was so pronounced as to attract ceneral notice. With liberal borrow ing every branch of industry must expand. There was a fair movement in real estate, 185 deeds and 216 mortgages being recorded, a gain oyer toe previous ween Dotn in number and amount Au advance in realty of 15 to 20 per ceut was noted in this department on Thurs day. Iron manufacturers are among tho busiest people in the community, and their activity affects everything else. A number of financlors and others gave it as their opinion that the good times so long looked for had really come and come to stay. The change is welcome as well as timely. An old fnrnituie repairer said the other day that at least three-quarters of the alleged an tique furniture, for which wealthy people may pay fabulous prices. Is bogus. "How is It madeT" "When an old buildlnir Is torn down there is always a good demand for the ancient oak tim bers and sheathing. They are sound, well seasoned, and unmistakably old. This lumber makes up into excellent antique furniture. Those who make It are cunning workmen, and they all know how to apply chemicals which have the effect of 'aging' the completed article so that it is difficult even for an expert to detect fraud. "Bat these clever cabinet makers are not al ways scrupulous enough to have their claw footed chairs, cabinets, and so forth, made up of old wood, but work up fresh young maple or oak, andttain or color it in such a-way that you would believe the article a century old. Some of the purchasers of these wonder why they snap and crack as they stand In their rooms. Of course they would not do this If they were genuine antiques. By and by the veneering scales off or the joints draw apart, and the thing is brought to me for repairs. I always know when I see one of these antiquities coming in that some one has been paying too much for a whistle.' " DULL B0T STRQXQ.

Onilrond Shares Show no Dlsposilon to Let Go-Bullish New. Worked; for All It Waa Worth The Bank State meat an Element of Etreuftb. New Yore; September 7. The stock mar ket was unusually active and strong to-day for a Saturday, and the dealings reflected something more than the usual traders' scalping. The news of the day as a rule was rather bullish and the buying was of the best kind and extended to a large number of stocks. There was considerable bear pressure at the opening, and the first prices were generally small fractions lower than last evening's clos ing figures, and Delaware and Hudson was ex ceptional, with a loss of 1 per cent at 155, The coal stocks seemed to be neglected by their friends to-day, and while the general list is fractionally higher in most cases to-night the coal stocks furnished the only marked changes in quotations, and they were in the direction of lower figures. Tennessee coal made a sharp slump, dropping from 46c to 43Kc, and only a portion of this drop was recovered. The pressure at the opening met with a good demand for stocks, and the temper of the market was soon changed for the better, and while Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and St Louis was specially weak, dropping from 75o last evening to 73c the losses in the others were confined to small fractions. The reaction, however, was sharp and a full and complete re covery took place, even Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and St Louis going back to Its first figure. The rise was led by Rock Island, which rose to SI W followed by Louisville and Nashville, which was the only one of the Southern stocks to get any attention outside of Richmond and West Point while Missouri Pa cific, Atchison and Wabash preferred were close behind. The last named stock was unu sually active and strone. The market quieted down toward 11 o'clock, and small reactions took place, but the issue of the bank state ment with its marked Increase in the surplus reserve started anew the bullish feeling, and many stocks reached still higher prices than during the first hour. The close was active and strong at the best prices reached. Railroad bonds were also fairly active to-day. the sales of all Issues for the two hours' ses sion reaching $666,000. There was no special activity except In the Ohio Southern incomes, which furnished $85,000 to the total. The mar ket was in close sympathy with the trading in stocks and a decidedly strong feeling prevailed throughout the session. Sales for the week were $5,062,000, against $5,612,000 last week.

Weakness tho Leading Pcnluro of the Wheat Pit Tho Downward move ment Continued Pnblle nnd Pri vate Cnbles Decidedly Bear Ub Fork Aclivo and Unsettled. Chicago In the speculative branch of the wheat trade to day there was a continuation of yesterday's weakness, prices showing further depreciation. News was in tho main bearish, and so was local sentiment. The most import ant piece of news was a dispatch from Minne apolis saying that owing to the failuro of all but four elevators In thit city to comply with the new law and thus become regular, 1,000,000 bushels of wheat will disappear from the stocks there in the next report Next in im portance as a bear factor was the report tbat the Kansas Board of Agriculture estimating the crop of that State at 35,000,000 bushels, or 19,000,000 bushels in excess ot the yield of lSSS. Selling orders from the Northwest were re ceived. Receiving houses here are getting orders to soil Kansas No. 3 red wheat in 60 000 bnshel lots to arrive. There was pretty large trade in tbe pit for a Saturday. Temporary strength was developed eaily by the covering of two or turee large lines oi snorts, uui tne undertone I was weak and the bears were in control most of I the session.

'A moderate speculative trade was transacted in corn, and the feeling developed ws weaker on September, while the other futures showed but little change compared with yesterday's closing figures. About the only feature was the free selling of September by a promteetM local trader, which reduoed the premium oi that future so that now it is quotable aboat tke me as uciooer. Trading In oats was fair for May. but for other months very little business transpired, There was liberal baying orders for May at the inside and fa offerings at tho outside garee, and the market held steady at a slight deeUae. Considerable Interest was manifested ia awes pork, and speculative trading was quite aettre and almost exclusively la October and January deliveries. The feeling was soaewkat asset tied and prices irregular, the former' ruling 8o higher and the latter "KO 10c lower.
