Kew Yoek, August 28. Fully 10,000
persons went don n to Monmouth Park this
afternoon expecting to see Salvator run a
mile orer the straight coarse faster than any
otter thoroughbred had ever covered the
distance in this country. They were not
surprised, as the King of the Turf, with the
assistance of two pacemakers, covered the
mile in 1:35, which lowered the'fastest
time eTer made in a race, the"l39X f
"Baveloe, Z seconds, and eclipsed Ten
Broeck's performance against time hy lyi
seconds.
No such flight of speed had ever been
seen by those assembled to-day, and the
general opinion was that the record will re
main unbeaten for many years. There were
some doubts at one time as to whether the
trial would be made as Trainer Byrnes was lotb
to let Salvator start nnless be was ridden by
Isaac Murphy, than whom there is no Greater
jndgeol pace living.
BEBGEN" "WAS SELECTED.
But Isaac was nnder the ban of getting
drunk, and Mr. Haggm finally resolved to get
the best boy possible, and send the chestnut
for the glory and money that awaited the suc
cessful performance of the feat. The original
Intention was to have Salvator carry weight
for age, or 122 pounds In bis effort, but Mr.
Byrnes advised his employer that the race
should be governed by the same conditions as
those of Ten Broeck's essay at the watch. This
was 110 pounds, and Mr. Withers being agree
able, Martin Bergen was selected as the jockey
to ride. I
Every precaution had been taken to have the
timing accurate, and while Byrnes was prepar
ing the great colt for the effort of bis life, men
with flags were diSDatcbedxto the different
quarters which were to 4e dropped when
balvator passed them. Trainers Charles Little
flcld and J. W. Rogers, by common consent

When be Sashed past the starting post he was
running for a man's life, his flag-like tail sweep
ing gracefully in the breeze, bis neck out
stretched ana eye Sashing. Namona was well
under way and some ten lengths ahead, but
Salvator soon wore down her lead.
The flrst quarter pole was passed in 23J sec
onds, the flag falling as balvator's nose showed
on line witb the pole. Namona was making
desperate efforts to hold her lead, ber boy kick
ing her ribs and urging her to ber best endeav
ors. A hundred yards farther the King of the
1 urt passed ber with a rush. When the chest
nut reached the half-mile polo Xaniona was 15
lengths in the rear. Trainer Byrnes was await

which they seemed to touch so lightly. When
the three-quarter pole was passed Bergen was
riding with his band, but his steel-shod heels
had as yet not visited tbo glossv sides, nor tbo
heaving flanks felt the sting of the whip. A
hundred yards more and Bergen was riding

the was a length in front of Salvator. The
timers were excited, and Colonel Hall's1 hand
trembled as he bung out 1:35 as the official
figures. It is probable that noDody who saw
to-day's performance will live to see it eclipsed,
unless by the same horse.
The "bookies" made balvator the favorite,
laying 1 to 2 against him, while 8 to 1 was
wagered that he onld not break the record.
There was a big plnnge on Salvator, and his
price fell to 1 to 2, while 2 to 1 were laid against
time. Some books laid 4 to 5 over or under 1:39
and did a large business.

Weixsvxlle, 0 August, 28. The third day
of tbe fair was by far the most successfnl in
tbo history of the association. The morning
was principally taken ,up with stock parades,
and exhibits of horses and cattle. This exhibit
could not bo excelled. Tbe weather was very
fine, and tbe track in good condition. Tbe
events to-day were the unfinished 2:40 trot; tbe
postponed 235 pace; 2.55 trot; free for all pace,
and running race.
Belmont county took1 the 2:40 trot. It was
one of the finest races ever witnessed here. Dr.
L. took the last beat of the 2.35 pace in 221. At
the end of the third beat George Smith, driver
of Dr. L.,was accused of pulling, and was taken
down, Charles Wilson, driver of Gypsy Boy,
being substituted. He drove Dr. li just 10
seconds faster than Smith, taking tne heat in
iiSfyir This made the crowd angry, and had it
not been for the prompt action of the marshals,
a free-for-all fight would have resulted. Miss
Agnes took the 2.55 trot very easily in one, two,
three order. The free-for-all pace bad six en
tries. Owing to the lateness of the hour, it was
postponed until to-morrow, after the first heat.

Boston, August 28. There Is talk of ar
ranging a rowing race between George Hos

John Largsn, ex-champion of England. Tbe
two latter have been recently racing at New
York, and they now wish to arrango a sweep

Tuesday, and the subject was-broacbed to him,
bnt be would not give a decisive answer. It is
proposed to hold tbe race within a couple of
weeks, and tbe waters of New York to be the
place. Tbe three men would make a good
race, and Hosmer would stand a good chance
ofwinnlnp He will not have much time to
spare in training for the race, as be is with tbe
theatrical company with which he will travel.
Lee is in good fix and so is Largan. but Hos

.-SrZCXU, TXLZOBAK TO TUX DISIUTCH
Boston, August 28. Twelve thousand people
witnessed the Scotch games, of the Caledonian
Club, at Oak Island to-day and saw some ex
citing feats of strength and agility. Tho
running races were tho most Interesting
feature of the day's sport, Inasmuch as runners
from other parts of the world were present to
contest for the prizes. The chief event on the
programme was the five-mile race. It was tbe
last of the foot racing events, and the
interest did not lag until the contest
was decided. Pittsburg had the honor of
sending the men wbo occupied the two leading
posltlons,McCIeIlandand Priddy. They finished
in that order, McClellaud being 10 yarns ahead
of bis antagonist. Tbe timo was 26 minutes
37 seconds, which was remarkably fast con
sidering the horrible track over which the men
ran. The greatest surprise was when James
Grant, who broke the American record on
Holmes Field, Cambridge, a few days ago,
dropped out of tbe race at the end of the fourth
mile, a beaten man. Camon, the great Scotch
runner, was also Iett hopelessly in tbo rear by
the two fleet-footed Pittsbnrgers. The other
starters were Nick 'Cox, of New York, and
Faley Burns, of Watertown. Both had bad all
they wanted before tbe third mile was finished
and dropped out.
McClelland took tbe lead with Grant second,
Priddy third and Cannon fourth, and at tbe
end of the first mile McClelland was still lead
ing, although all four crack runners had held
the coveted position for a few seconds at a
time. It was a red-hot race, and McCIelland's
time, 5:01, was fast nnder the circumstances.
In the second mile the see-saw was continued,
and Cannon was in front when the third was
begun. His time was 10:20. The third, mile
took the starch ont of Burns and Cox, and
they quit. Cox having a very bad cramp in one
leg. McClelland managed to regain the lead
before tbe third mile bad been reeled off. but
ho was closely pressed by Cannon and Priddy.
Grant seemed to be in distress and was con
stantly losing ground.
Soon after the men started on the fourth
mile Cannon secured the lead, while McClelland
and Priddy were having a little fun with Grant.
It looked as though there was a put tip job to
get tbe Cambridge rnnnerin a porket and thus
keep him from winning. But it was not neces
sary to do this. Grant was winded, and tbe
Pittsburg runners saw that they bad nothing
to fear from bim. Then they turned their at
tention to Cannon and quickly overhauled bim.
Grant dropped ont just after the fourth mile
was finished. Cannon was forced back into
fourth place, and a brief glance of glory was
all the satisfaction he got out of It The last
quarter mile witnessed some great sprinting
by McClelland and Priddy. Tbe latter made a
game struggle, but McClellan was the superior
runner, and easily opened a gap between them.
McClelland finished the last eighth of a mila
In 39 seconds, and seemed fresh when he crossed
the line 10 yards ahead of Pnddy (time, 263!).
winner of one of tbe greatest five-mile races
ever seen around here.
All the Cash Up.
The final deposit for the 100-yard foot race
between-Beck and Hayes was made good at this
office 'la?t evening. The two sprinters will run
at Recreation Park for J150 a side to-morrow
evening between 5 JO and 6.30. We have been
requested to appoint a referee, and we take
pleasure in naming George .Smith, the ex
champion, to act. He has to appoint a starter.
A good race is expected.

as it has in the past; we will be able to clear
the yard. In no case will we re-employ
the striking switchmen, unless they agree

rCFXCML TELEGBAM TO TUB DISFATCH.1
Boston, August 28. Captain Hanlon
could not play ball to-day but he urged on
his braves so that they played for dear life
and succeeded in taking the scalps of King
Eel's warriors in the most approved style.
There was not anything of a startlingly bril
liant nature about the game but the Pitts
bnrgs got their victory by good honest work
and earned the game. The base hits were
not very numerous on either side bnt more
than half the hits made yielded two bases.
The pitching of Staley was the feature of
the game and in no inning did the Bostons
get two hits. In tbe third and sixth innings
the Pittsburgs bunched their bits and scored
enougb runs to win the game. Quinn and
Fields were responsible forthethree runs made
by tbe Bostons. The former allowing two balls
to pass him when men were on bases while
Fields dropped a fly in tbe sixth inning and
allowed Kellv to score. Corcoran ont up a
I great game at short and Beckley made a

Good Work, bnt Is Badly Supported.
I6PICIAL TXXXaKAaf TO THX DISPATCH. I
New Yoek., Augnst 28. For a team that has
sustained defeat so frequently, the Pittsburgs
played a bustling game. Little "Calliope"
Miller would not give up until the last man
bad been retired. Had a good fielder instead
of pitcher been in right field, the score wonld
have been much closer. Tbe New Yorks
seemed to play somewhat better than usual.
Sharrott pitched well, but up to the ninth
inning Esper had the best of it. The latter
puzzled the home team to a considerable ex
tent, and bad be been properly supported in a
conple of instances it is not so certain that the
Pittsburgs would have lost; on tbe otber side
they would have bad a good chance of winning.
Wilson threw all right to bases. In fact, the
whole team was an Improvement over tbe
former that visited here. Whistler had qntte
a batting streak after striking out the first
time he came to bat. Bassett's work was
noticeably clever. The feature was a fly
catch by Heard, while Glasscock accomplished,
some phenomenal stops and catches. The

LIST OF CANDIDATES OR THE SLATE
Indianapolis, August 28. The Demo
cratic State convention met to-day with
1,303 delegates present and the largest num
ber of Democrats in attendance ever gathered
together in the State. Xbc-Governor Isaac
P. Gray was made chairman and held the
convention together nntil its work was
finished at 7 o'clock this evening.
Among tbe declarations of the platform
were the following:
The electoral vote of Indiana was obtained
for Harrison and Morton by tho most flacrant
cries against the ballot box ever perpetrated in
an American commonwealth; these crimes were
committedundor the direct auspices of William
Wade Dudley, then and now treasurer of the
national Republican committee and by the pro
curement and connivance of Republican lead
ers in this Stato and in the nation; tbe adminis
tration of Benjamin Harrison has made itself
an accessory after the fact to these crimes by
shielding the criminals from punishment and
even by rewarning them for their knavery.
A'SHOT AT THE PRESIDENT.
The brazen prostitution of tbe machinery of
the Federal court for tne district of Indiana,
by its Jndseand attorney to tbe protection of
these conspirators against the suffrage, consti
tutes the most infamous chapter in the judicial
annals of the Republic.
We denounce the administration of President
Harrison for treating tbe public patronage as a
family appendage instead of a public trust, and
quartering a host of relatives by blood and by
marriage upon the National Treasnry; we de
nounce tbo force election bill as revolutionary
and unconstitutional. It strikes down home
and local self-government; suggests and en
courages fraudnlent elections and false cer
tificates of elections: fosters sectionalism and
bayonet rnle where every interest of tbe people
invites peace, fraternity and unity; outrages
tbe traditions and customs of a century by giv
ing life tenure to partisan returning boards;
makes tbe legislative and executive branches
dependent upon tbe Indiclary, and converts the
jndiolary into an instrnment of oppression and
corruption; involves tbe unnecessary expendi
ture of millions of the people's money, and in
Indiana nullities the Andrews election law
passed by tbe last Legislature over the de
termined opposition of the Republicans.
APPLAUDING THE 8-HOUB X.JL.VT.
The platform fnrtber iavors a liberal pen
sion system, calls attention to the farmers'
movement, demands legislation prohibiting
aliens from acquiring American lands, ap
plauds the bill for county farmers' institutes,
indorses the law for funding the State school

the employment of the Pinkertonsby a rail
road corporation in New York in the pend
