HAEEI WILKES GOES A PAST HILE. A Pittsburg Hone Arouses the Enthnisasm of its Friends by Pacing a Heat in 2:16 3-4 POOL SELLING SUITS TO BE FOUGHT. The Kelt Legislature to be Asked to Amend the CamMing Laws. The meeting at Homewood closed yester day in a blaze of glory. Six thousand-persons were there, and they saw some good races, and, what was better yet, a Pittsburg hone, Dallas, owned by Mr. McCormack, a member of the firm of James Lappac & Co., make the fattest mile of any in a race at this meeting, doing it in 2:16X- "When the lime was announced a howl of joy went up from thousands of throats, and the enthusiasm grew wilder when the Bingham Honse cup, which was recently won by the sorrel at Philadelphia, together with a purse of (2,500, was displayed on the judges' stand. Another notable event was the attempt of Harry Wilkes to break his trotting record ct 2:13, gotten in California. He first went a mil in -lfi to warm up, and after a short rest, was started to peed. Harry went to first quarter in 33 but his second quarter was faster yet, an be passed -the half mile in 1:06. He reached the three-quarters in 1:40, and here was joined by a running horse ridden by a genuine cowboy In the employ of Eaton Bros. A J5PEEDT HUE. The two came down the stretch together, but the runner rode a little too far in ad- i Tance of the trotter, and Jiis assistance as a apeed-urger was not valuable. "Wilkes came under the wire in 2:15Jf. Owing to (the softness ot the track on the inside the trotter had to keep well out, and it was computed that he had traveled 80 yards , over the mile. In that case he beat, while J officially he failed to break his record. The horse was rewarded with a beautiful wreath ? oi natural flowers. Mr. Sire, the owner of "Wilkes, watched bis performance. There is some talk of a match between the horse and Jack, who has a 2:15 record. Mr. Sire is willing to let "Wilkes go In a match of this kind for from $1,000 to $5,000 a side, or more, on any good track. "Wilkes' present condition could not be surpassed. Tbe first race called was the 223 trot, in which the starters were Grand R, Mamie "Woods and Black Hawk. Mainio Woods was a. big favorite In the pools, although Black Hawk's stock came up at tbe end of the third heat Mamie Woods took a lead of several lengths in tbe first beat, 'with Grand R a bad tlura and breaking continuously. Mamie "Woods won easily by two lengths in 2.3Q, AN EASY VICTORY. In the second heat Mamie broke at the start, and again in the first quarter, tbe other two running side by side to the half, where Black Hawk took tbe lead. Grand R. caught Black Hawk at tbe head of tbe stretch. bu- broke, and Black Ha we strolled in in 2:29. Mamie ocxin broke when tbe third heat was started. Black Hawk let oat a l'nk and gained a lead of two lengths on Grand R. In the backstretch Grand R. broke badly, bat finished second, Black Hawk jogging borne in 2:25. In tbe fourth beat Black Hawk led to the quarter, but broke badly before be reached the half, where Mamie passed bim and woneailyin 225. In the fifih heat Black fc Hawk and Mamie were lapped to the first turn, where Black Hawk broke and was virtually L out of the race. Grand R came swiftly in the a stretch, but Mamie was too fast and won tbe 1 beat and race by a length Time, 2:2 Summary, first race, 225 trotting class, purse, 81.000 Mamie Woods, r. m J. H.

A purse of 2,000 had been hung up for a f reefer-all trot. Three drivers with national repu tations were entered, John Turner, John Splan and J. H. Goldsmith, but they only had two horses In the race, the third animal, Nobby, apparently being started in order to give tbo bookmakers chance to offer fascinatingly long odds to catch a Saturday crowd. Rosalind Wilkes was tbe favorite in the pools. In the first beat Wilkes took the lead and kept three lengths ahead of Pamlico into the stretch, where tbe latter came up with a bid, but was beaten by a neck in 220. The second heat was in every respect a repetition or tbe first, except that the time was a quarter of a second taster. Wilkes broke in the first quarter of tbe third bead, Pamlico and Nobby passing her. It was a procession clear around to the stretch, where Rosalind came np and took second place from Nobby, Paulico winning by six lengths in 2:21. Wilkes won the race in the third beat.

Kerr, President of the Homewbod Dnv- ing Park Association, was feeling very happy yesterday. He said: "Tho meeting has been a great success, financially aud otherwise. It is more than possible that wo may hold a fall meeting here, as many of tbe horsemen who attended this event have ex pressed a desire to come again later in the year. We will make a vigorous contest in court in the pool-selling cases, and we expect the racing associations throughout the State to make a combined effort to have the laws on this subject remod elco bv the next Legislature. It is absolutely impossible to run a successful race meeting without pool-sellinc. You can't get a crowd. People who go to see a horse race like to have a little money invested on It, as It ndds zest to their enjoyment. No, I don't think it has an evil effect When a man goes to tbe races he expects to spend money, and brings it with him for that purpose. If he loses it, it does not make him feel badly, and if he wins he is so much better off. Pool rooms in the citv are wrong, because they lead boys astray, bat at a track onlv men aae allowed to bet. Mr. Herdic would not think of accepting a bid from a boy. You can't stop betting on sports. If you go to a baseball game you see every spectator making a bet of a greater or lesser extent with his neighbor. It Is better to have it legalized and kept within proper bounds." KENTUCKY HORSE NEWS. A Proposed Stake Race for Stnlllon Fonln of 1S90 10 be Trotted at Lexington la 1S93 T:ie Honor Hole. SI ECIAL TM.KPBAM TO TUX DIgFATCR.1 T.exlgto:.-. KY., July 26. Tbe Directors of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Asso elation met here to-day and decided to offer a stallion representative stake forloals of 1890, to be trotted at Lexington in ISSS, worth not less than S10.CUO to winner. They also decided upon aluturlty stake for foals of 1S91 to; be trotted either in 1803 or 1694, guaranteed to be worth $25,000. This will be the larcest guaran teed stake ever given. The association is de termined to make it possible for a good trotter to earn as mnch money as a good runner, and if the present stakes are successful they will open still Iarcer ones next year. Ed A. Tiptor. ot this city, has secured a ten days' option on femitb McCann's halt interest in tbe trotting stallion Red Wilkes at $30,000. W. C. France, who is now at Saratoga, will probably bay this interest, as he owns tbe other half. If France does not take It, tbe horse will probably go to a syndicate. Mc Cann is anxious to sell, as he has been at law so mnch about the horse he wishes to be rid of him. This city has become noted for the number of her professional men that have a weakness for trotters. One of our dentists (now dead) is noted for having bred one of tne greatest brood mares Kentucky ever produced; another of onr dentists is not only an admirer of tbe trotter, but is a breeder as well; three of our prominent physicians are owners and breeders of trotters; one ot our preachers runs an ex cellent stock farm, on which tbe trotter stands pre-eminent; one of our college professors has already bred several good ones; our noted temperance lecturer, the most renowned the State has ever produced, breeds trotters on an extensive scale; several of our lawyers and statesmen breed trotters, and quite a number of onr bankers are interested in tbe success and propagation of this valuable animal.

A VEET EEMAEKABLE PEBBLE, A Georgia Sinn Find a Stone Tor Which 81.000 la RefD.ed. Bavannah Hews. John McCraney, living near Kingston, has found a most wonderiul stone. While plowing ou a sandbar in the Etowah river he saw something shining with the most brilliant of lights just to one side of him. He stopped his plow and went to pick it up. It was a clear white alone, the size of an egg, reflecting in one way all the colors of the rainbow. Turning it over the colors took on the character of a spirit level, following each other up through the center of the rock till all were gathered in one end. Mr. Craney has been offered Sl.OOO for it. but refused it. He will take it to Atlanta to have it tested. It may be a diamond. It emits s perfectly white light in the dark.

The bird proved to be a harbinger of good fortune, for, when tbe ninth inning was over, the local aggregation had one more ran scored than their opponents from Beantown. 'But really there was no luck about it The contest was won by good hard playing, and, in particular, the brilliant work of tbe younger Gumbcrt in the box. Be pitched great ball, being hit at all in the fourth inning, when he was found three times by the visitors. WHERE CLAEKSON FALTERED. Clarkson alsopnt np a good game except In the first inning. Decker led off with a hot sin gle to left, and Miller duplicated the bit. Then came a peculiar feature. La Roque hit bard to right, and reached second base, but Decker, who could easily have scored, stopped at third. Miller was therefore forced to stay at second, and La Roque ran back to drst,whicb, by some marvelous means, he managed to reach In safety. Berger slneled and Decker scored, the bases still being fall. Hecker bere made a pe culiar play, bunting the ball for a life. Miller being caught at the plate. Tbe same play was made on La Roque by Osborne's life. Berger and Hecker scored on Sales' single, making three runs. In the third Inning Pop Smith managed to get hit by a pitched ball, reached third on a wild throw and scored on Long's sacrifice. In the fourth Gnmbert was fonnd by the visitors for the Hist and last time, three hits and two earned runs being secured, tleing the score, which remained in this condition for several innings. THE WINNING ETfN. In the eighth, after two men had quit very easily. Miller made a neat single and stole sec ond, making a great slide, although the de cision that declared bim safe was a trifle close. La Roque then secured tbe only base on balls credited against Clarkson, and Berger hit for two bases, sending Miller across the plate with tbe all-Important run. Hecker retired the side. In Boston's, Sullivan got to first on balls, but quit on Brodie's life, who was in turn retired on Hines' life. McGarr ended the game by fly ing to Miller, whose fielding throughout was tbe feature of the contest. Score: PITTSBURG. B B r A Xl BOSTON.

The directors of the Pittsburg National League team yesterday requested Mr. O'Neil to continue In charge of the team for the pres ent, and it is understood that in a short time be will be made president permanently. He will probably accept the proposition and re main In charge. However, the directors rccoe nixe the fact that Gny Hecker Is a good man ager, and be will not be interfered with, but will have full control of tbe team. There is no donbt of Hector's ability to manage if be is given full control. A. G. Pratt yesterday made application to purchase a third Interest in tbe team, and the probabilities) are that he will be taken into the company. Mr. Pratt 1b an experienced base ball man, and would be a good addition to the Board of Directors. THE EEAS0N WHY. Gus Scbmclz'a Policy Did Not Salt tbo Cleveland People. rSFXCTAI. TXLSORAM TO TUB DtSFATCH.1 Cleveland, July 26. Secretary Hawley, of the Cleveland National League club, was asked to-day the reason of Gus. Schnielz's re tirement as manager of that organization. He said: "It was purely and simply the result of a dis agreement between the directors of the club aua Mr. Schmclz regarding the policy of tbe management. While we do not claim to have a perfect team by any means we do think that we have a club which should make a better showing than it has been doing for tbe past month. When the season began tbe Cleveland League club was playinz better ball than it is now. That is not right. There should be Improvement instead of the reverse. Wo are aware of the fact that certain Brotherhood men have been tampering with our men. Manager Schmelz seemed to be worried, and lost bis bead, as they say when a ball player makes a bad play. Personally, there was never a man in charge of the Cleve land club that we have placed more confidence in and respect more than Gus Schmelz. We would gladly retain him in the position of manager, but it is to the best interest of tbe club .that we make a change. Perhaps new blood in the management will result in better work by our men. At least we feel that we owe it to ourselves and tbe Dublic to endeavor to help In tbe winning of games." WILL THEY COMPBOMKEJ Two Question! to be Answered bv Base bnll Presidents. The New York IForid has telegraphed the different Presidents of the Players' and National League teams, asking the following questions in tne interest 01 oaseuaii: "First Would you agree to a compromise which had for its basis the snrrender of the names of cities by tbe Players' Leagne clubs in return for a change of playing dates by tbo National League clubs, with an agreement to respect contract rigbts and exchange games at the end of tbe season? Second If not, is there any basis upon which you would agree to compromise, and If so, what Is it?" Mr. Kerr, of the local Players' League team, said he was still in favor ot a non-conflicting schedule, but had nothing to say regarding the other part of the communication. The local National League team replied to the World as follows: "Tbe Pittsburg National League club doesnot understand that tbe Players' League have sub mitted any compromise. We agree with the World that tbe baseball business bas been greatly injured by tbe players' revolt. Our club wonld not stand in tbe way ot a beneficial solution of the trouble." OTHER GAMES.

Faatz says BuQalo will beat Cleveland oat In the pennant race. Kino Kelly refused to allow two games to be played yesterday at .Exposition Park. The Phlladclphians have beaten the record for eousecutlve victories, having gained 16, and Cin cinnati comes next with 13. IrTom Burns continues his home run hitting the Brooklvn right fielder will have Just as great a record for these loug hits as Hardie Blchardson. When the New York (N. 1..) team hits tbe ball hard their pitchers go to pieces; when they fall to bit the pitchers do great work. Such Is the Irony of fate. Buffalo Is kicking because the strength it was to receive by the addition of Pitchers Cunning ham nnd Bartsonand Footz and Twltchel has not materialized. 'Old man. If It wasn't so late and this thing hadn't gone so far, I believe I'd be with you on that proposition." This Is what Billy Sunday says Prefer told him about a week arter the re volt. Aeu York Telegram. A VERY qneer storv started In Chicago, to the effect that Captain Kelly oflered Captain Anson 130,000 to loin the Players' League. Anson, It Is generally understood. Is not under contract to the Chicago National League Club, but he owns a good slice of stock In that organization. Tom Burns says Anson rarely ever asks a man todowbat he will not do himself. While down South early In the season he had the colts out on the Held each morning from 10 to 12 o'clock. They would then go to lunch, and upon their return they wonld find the "old man" running around the bases to reduce flesh. He lost 40 pounds In a month. Fob Indomitable pluck and earnest work no team in either Leacne can compare with Captain Ward's Brooklyn Club. At the beginning orthe season tne players were called "Job lots," and other pet names. To-day they stand second In the Players' League race, and have won game after game which otber teams would have abandoned in despair. "Jack" Rowe, the deposed manager or the Buffalos, atconnts for the poor showing of his team in these words: "We were practically with out pitchers, and it was only on days when Had dock went In to pitch we had tbe least ghost or a show. Buckley, whom we picked up at Bostou, pitched a good game then and we won. in Phila delphia tie put up another excellent game, but tbe men couldn't hit at the right time and we lost when we should have won. Then White was hit byapltehed ball and that knocked him out. I was hit In the leg, and that settled me for a few games. With poor pitching and the team changed about considerable, it Is a wonder that we won a game." A New nnd Correct Map of Africa. Indianapolis Journal. 1 It is highly gratifying to know that a new and absolutely correct map of Africa has been issued. The average man has no Erejudices against a new map of Africa. To ina it is quite as goo's as an old one; In fact, he hardly knows the difference. ') A PITCHERS' BATTLE,. Great Baseball at Exposition Park Yesterday Afternoon. THE BOSTOKS HAD TO HUSTLE. Fine Eally of the Local Players in the Ninth Inning. THE 0THEE BROTHERHOOD GAMES Boston (P. I) 4..Plttbura (P. I).. 3 Brooklyn (P. !.).. 13. .nuOalo (P. I) . Cbicnco (P.L.)....12..Fhlla. (P. I) 1 Cleveland (P. U).. 8..Mew York (P. I). 7 Cleveland (P. Ii.).. O..Ncw Tork (P.I.). 1 The game at Exposition Park yesterday was, for eight innings, a great pitchers' bat tle. Then it turned into an exciting con test for blood. The game was intensely in teresting throughout and abounded with magnificent plays. Kilroy went in to pitch for Boston, and at the end of the second in ning he retired in favor of Gnmbert, tnodgh only one hit was made off him. The game continued under Gumbert's leadership' uutil tbe ninth inning without anything startling except tbe ease and grace with which he re tired tbe numerous Pittsburg batters. Staley also pitched a splended game lor eight Innings, and only three nits were made in that time, but his wildness lost tbe game in the ninth. THE FEATTJBE. There was one feature of the game that paled all others In comparison. Richardson hit a long fly to center that looked like a sure homer, and Brouthers, who was on first, ac cordingly started for home. But he was not counting on the right man. Hanlon, after a long run, caught the ball coming over bis left shoulder, and, with the assistance ot Cocoran, doubled Brouthers ont at first. It was the finest play of tbe season, and tbe crowd ac knowledged the good work with great ap plause. Otber great catches were made in the game, but none compared with thatone, though rown did catch a fly that be hal to make a hop, step and jump to get under. LOSIKG THE GAME. For eight lonz Innings the local men walked silently to the bat and as "silently stole away" without the pleasure of making the clrcuit, not even going so far as second base. But in the ninth lnniucr, after two men were out, Vis ner led tbe forlorn hope with a single and Car roll stole first on balls. Then the only Jake Beckley swung his bat viciously aparnst the ball, and the result was a two-baser, Vlsner scoring and Carroll located at third. Fields then hit to Madden, who graciously threw It wild, and two men scored. Fields going out trying to make second. An awful yell went up froin2,966 throats, and every one believed that tbe game was won, Bnt tbey reckoned with out their hosts as Staley seemed to get rattled. He cave Stovey and Madden bases on balls, and Brouthers bit for three bases, scoring two rnns, which, with tbe two already run in, won tbe game. The score: PlTTSBUItO. B B r A BOSTON.

Harper's Weekly.! As the legitimate object of debate is per suasion, debate implies, necessarily, a pos sible change of opinion, consequently tbe majority of to-day upon any important question of expediency cannot be sure that it will be the majority of to-morrow. A. Representative may be a Republican in the sense of conviction of the soundness of the protective principle. But it does not fol low that he must therefore approve every scheme of a high protective tariff. Whether he be a Republican or not, he will favor free and fair elections. But it does not follow, by any means, that he must therefore approve every plan that may be proposed to secure such elections. The question of the pend ing election bill is one of expediency. The object of debate in the Senate is to prove or disprove the wisdom of tbe bill, and, with some members, its constitutionality. But it cannot fairly be assumed that those who desire some expedient must necessarily pre fer the one offered by the bill, or that; be cause of their desire of some expedient, they may claim the rights of a majority for this particular scheme. When the actual majority have inform ally adopted this bill as their preference they are still morally bound, from its pe culiar character and tbe profound feeling with which it is regarded, to permit tbe ut most latitude of debate, in order to give themselves tho opportunity of weighing all views and modifying their own. If debate is worth while at all it is only because it may change opinion. To close debate ar bitrarily, therefore, may prevent a change of opinion which would change the ma jority. This is not a plea for endless talk, but for the most reasonable exercise of an enormous and vital parliamentary power. HOW TO TREAT A 8WEETHEAET. The Parltan War Is Still a Good Way to Keep n Helpmeet. from an Old Mew England Scrap Book. When he comes to see you let me give yon a few hints as to your treatment ot him. First of all, my dear, don't let him get an idea that your one object in life is to get all you can out ot him. Don't let him believe that you think so lightly of yourself that whenever he has an idle moment he can find you ready and will to listen to him. Don't let him think that you are going out driving with him alone, even it yonr mother should be lenient enough to -permit this. Don't let him think that you are going to the dance or frolic with him; you are go ing with your brother or else you are going to make up a party which will all go together. Don't let him spend his money on you; when he goes away he may bring von a oox of sweets, a hook or some music; lbut don't make him feel that you expect anything but courteous attention. I Don't let him call you by your first name, at least not until you are engaged to him, and then only when yon are by yourselves. Don't let him put his arm around you and kiss you; when be put the pretty ring on your finger it meant that you were to be his wife soon, he gained a few rigbts, but not the one of indiscriminate caressing. When he placed it there he was right to put a kiss on your lips; it was the seal of your love; but if you give your kisses too freely theywill prove of little value. A maiden fair is like a beautiful rich purple plum; it hangs high up on the tree and is looked at with envy. He who would get it must work for it, and all the trying should be on his side, so that when he gets it he appre ciates it. A FAMOUS ST. BEBNABD DOG. He Stands 34 1-4 Inches From tbe Shoul der Down, and Tip the Beam at 2CS. Boston Advertiser. A distinguished native of England walked slowly down the gang plank from the steam er Scythia yesterday, and a curious group of people gathered about him. He 'had on a very heavy coat that might do its duty faithfully in Greenland under proper condi tions. The Britisher's name was Alton, and he had a pedigree that was just distin guished rounding Boston Light ashe walked ashore at the side of Arthur Trickett, the kennel man of E. "W. MoOre, of Melrose. Alton is a noble specimen of that noble race of dogs, the St. Bernard. He stands 34X inches from the shoulders down, aud looks as if he could carry a good-sized man with perfect ease. He is much heavier than tbe average man, tipping the scales at 208 pounds. His forearm is 14 inches in cir cumference, and his muzzle takes almost 18 inches of a tape measure to encircle it. S. A. Smith, of Leeds, was the former owner oi the animal, and until Mr. Moore planted down 4,250big American dollars before him he kept him hitched up where be could keep his eye on him. Alton is the son of Plinlinimon and Queen Jura, two famous St. Bernards of ample pedigree, and among the most valuable dogs of England. Alton's daughter, Alta Bella, now little more than a year old, is said to be the most perfect dog of her breed in Britain. The big animal surveyed the har bor in a thorough manner, apparently with satisfaction, and he marched ashore with an air of majestic consequence that scattered precipitately a conclave of inferior brutes which were holding a reunion before the en trance to the dock. NOT SO DULL AFTEB ATT.. The Philadelphia Spends Sunday In Hli Own or .Paternal Mansion. H. L. Kelson In Harper's Weekly.! It would be hard to say why Philadelphia is so often called dull. Perhaps it is be cause of the strict orthodoxy of its large Quaker and Presbyterian population. It is true enough that many of its men and women lack the resources of their fellows of Boston and New York. Intellectual life in the town is not so quick or alacrious as the nimble mind of New England. When the Philadelphia mind is trained, it becomes a storehouse of solid and useful accomplish ments; perhaps it would be better to desig nate its possessions qualifications instead of accompiisumenis. And then, again, there lies doubtless some cause for that which seems like soniberness in the fact that almost every Philadelphian has a home, so that on a Sunday, for example, when the public places of New York are thronged, the substantial young PhiladelDbian, who is not under the necessity of escaping from the horrors of a ball bedroom, remains within the doors of his own or his paternal mansion; or he may stroll about tbe streets of an afternoon; or he may ride or drive over the roads of the finest park in the country. He may do many things, but he does not haunt tbe public places; and he is, above all, a iamily man. Costly Spring Cleaning. New Tork Star.l It costs fl0,000 merely for the "spring cleaning" of a great hotel like the Fifth Avenue. To take up the carpets, cleanse to wash the paint, repaint, repaper, and repair them and put them down again, and all the thousand and one things which a great house needs with each new year, costs tbe proprietor of the Fifth Avenue J10.000.
