Affidavits Made to the Effect That Carey Ban One Hundred lards in 9 1-2 Seconds at Princeton. 'SLATIN CALLS J. L. SDLLIVAN LOVTS. To-Dsy'i Foot Bice it Exposition Fuk Otsciil Sporting News of the Diy. The question of "heat betting" at trotting meetings is forcing ifself to the front for con sideration. It has t-e:. one of the evils of trotting races for - , time, and, singular ly enough, an evil tha. everyboay has been aware of. That thousands of dollars have been fraudulently won by aid of the system everybody interested in trottinz affairs is ready to believe, simply because it has ever been a custom to "j.ay a horse up" for a heat on the plea that it would better his chance to win the race. "Without going into de tails, the assertion can salely be made that betting on heats at present is an evil. Even the Britishers have discovered this fact, and to remedy it they have a system of racing by which horses -e -handicapped and di vided into beau, tlie winner ot each heat start ins in. tlie tonal. It is. tbereroic. plain that a liorsc that drops a beat there will nor win the race. But tins sstcm would not work in the United States: indeed, it i difficult to supscst a remedy for the evil here, although the evil is so transparent. TO VICTIMIZE THE PUBLIC. It is at the meetings of cemparative small consequence where the "pullinc" of a horse for a heat is indu'ged in most, and it more or less prev-iilsat the leading meetings throughout thecout'ry. Ot recent years, since trotting has become so popular, and since such a large quantity ot public money is yearly invested in it, the custom of "laying up" for a heat has lieen leve ped into a scheme to rob the pub lic The best friends of tin- trotting turf are forcing the question before the gentlemen who have the power to legislate on it, and if no other remedy can be applied than that of pro hibiting "heat betting" entirely, many authori ties arc prepared to support that plan of re formation. Discussing this matter, a writer in 77tc Horseman .irgucs in the following very in teresting manner "The besetting sin of the trotting turf is not I lulling races, but pulling beats, or. as the .inder expression goes, "laing np" heats. Just how the trouble can be remedied is not easy to devise. If bookmakinz and betting on heats were prohibited the trouble would in a measure solve itself. There would then be only the object of gei ting better betting on the ra' e to tempt the muscular driver. That, of course, is fraudulent enough, but under the usual con ditions the betting on heats may be made more important than the race. Suppose a case: J. A. Smith, we w ill say, is making a book. lie offers 5 to 1 against "Kasttrotter. The public pluuseon him. and before tneheat is called -Mr. Smith stands to lose 2.000 on this horse. He may outclas hi field, tlie public judgment may lie mbt, but the gentleman of the chalked board may go to his driver and remark that he can't loose ihe race, and therefore it would be a good idea to lay up a heat in consideration of $500." REMEDIES SUGGESTED. "We do pot saj that any gentleman in the bookmaking business would stoop to such cor rupt practice-, nor thatan-- driver would 'lay up' a beat for S.VJ0. but the thing might be done. JCow, where do we look for the remedj ? Sup pose we compel the driver who means to 'lay up1 a heat to declare his intention and have it pasted on the bulletin board. That will pro tect the bettors in a manner, hut it is not a satisfactory solution, for the reason that a driver ma f core with the intcntiou of 'laying up a bra', but the contingencies and develop ments ma be such after tbe horses get away that he sees his way clrartogo on and win. And, on the other hand, be may mean to try to win. and through a dis astrous" break or a bad start find it politic to "lay up the heat. There 'eras on the surface, only two remedies for this evil of harne-s racing. These are to prohibit betting on beats altogether, or to discountenance that pernicious unwritten law that allows a man to pull a horse on the pretext that he is 'laying up a beat to better his chances ot winning the race- So great a driver as Slarvin has said to the writer th.it nine races ou of ten that can bo won at all can lie won in straight heats, and that in the vast majority of cases heats were pot 'laid up to beneht a hop-c's chances of winning, but to influence betting. There is no rule in the books allowing a driver to pull a liors in a Mnsle heat. Why not. then, enforce tli penalties, and have it understood that every linrs mut go for every heat or take the con sequence of not trjingT' CAREY'S WONDEEFTJL EECOED. t So me Affidavits Blade to the Effect tliat Eerything "Was Square. The sprinting feat of L. H. Carey on Satur day has caused quite a sensation in sporting circles throughout the country. All testimony goes to show that his recoid of running 100 yards in 954 si-cords is conect and this gives him the best rec ird in the world. The race was really a contest between Carey and E. F, Ramsdell. The latter had four yards start of Carcv and is considered able to beat rven time. Carey realized the possibility of Ttinisdcll lieatins him and made tho inost des perate effort of Im life. He broke the tape line at exactly 9Kseconds, each of the three watchesof the nraersaCTceinc. The length of the track was questioned and Carey called for a measurement. H.S. S. Smith, professor in the School of Science at Princeton, measured the track and found the exact distance to be 990.33 feet oi 100 yards and a little over four inches. F.

Tho Australian Calls John U Down In a Very Emphatic Manner. New York, October 19. A special cable from London to the Berald gives the following letter from Frank Slaviu : "I must say that lam more than surprised to hear the remarks Sullivan has passed of late regarding the championship. If he is tho champion, that is. wishes to be called so, why don't ho tight me T As a rule, champions ac-' cept bona fido challenges. How far has Sulli van done this T Last December I challenged Sullivan for XLOOO a side, but he laughed at the idea of my challenging him for such a small stake and pooh-poohed it. "Now, readers of tho world of sport, this is how Sullivan has changed! Some months ago I posted 750 in the SpoHmarilt office at Lon don, challenging Sullivan to meet me for 5,000. He broucbt tho Mississippi business in to get out of it. I don't want to cast any slur on John, but he showed the cur and withdrew, patting the Mississippi business in as a blind. What Ia'k I. Has Sullivan done more than I or others? He beat Ryan, of course; stopped several other mugs. Slade and so on; failed to stop Mitchell, and took upward of two huurs to Etoo Kilrain. , "Now what was cither of these men s per formances before they met the great John L.7 Why. Mitchell sparred and bluffed all over America and Encland and never sparred a straight co. Mitchell's only genuine fights are one with Jack Burke in England and with Sullivan in France. Kilrain never knew the prize ring till he met Smith, and these are Sullivan's best feats. I ha e beaten more nien in one ear than Sullivan has in his whole career. " John would never have been known it he had come out within the last couple or vears. In his time he had nothing to meet. All hi performances have been in stoppinc men in four or five rounds, and men who have had no rlas. The proof of this is that bo stuck to America; but the first time he left America he failed to show any form. Whenever ho tailed to Mop an opponent an excuse followed, ibe ficht with Kilrain was a disgrace to any man who had a reputation, and the go with Mitchell was a Punch and Judv show, or, in other words, -Hould him while I bite him.' "So let Sullivan put up or shut np as regards who is the best man to-dav. Third-class is his corner in the listic world." TWO SUCCESSIVE FOULS Spoil a Promising T"Ktic Fight Itetween Conlej and Herald. Dallas, lux.. October 19. Oho thousand people assembled at the rink last night to wit ness the fight between Mike Conley. of New York, and Dick Sullivan, of Colorado.

In the first round Sullivan fouled Conley. and the referee gave the latter the fight. Conley announced that he was willing to go on. In tho second round he was fouled again, and the referee refused to continue the tight, awarding it again to the New Yorker. Sullivan's backers lost heavilj.

Boston, MAhS.,October 19. President Soden, of the Boston League club, say: "There is no basis whatever for a consolidation of the clubs here, unless the Brotherhood people want to buy us out. We have our price, and it they are rich enough they can get the club. Wo would sell out to the proposed new League club. We will never foim a partnership with men with whom we have haa long and hitter lawsuits. If we had men to deal with like tbo?e in New York, Chicago and other cities, it would be a different matter.

The book makers say that they took out of the ring at Elizabeth track yesterday $200,000. In the first race they bet thousands of dollars on Mabel Glenn, beating the price down from 10 to 1 to 7 tol. Mabel won very easily. In the second race Pearl Set, "Brown Dick's" tillv, was plaved by thein at Ion: odds, and they won again.

The Western Racing Circuit next year may have another addition, as It is lust possible that there will be a race meeting held In Cleveland. A number of enthusiasts there haye decided to make the venture, and while they know that they can get all the horses required the only doubt is the returns from the betting being heavy enough to pay the purses. Such a meeting should prove a success in the latter part or June, when there Is llltlcorno racing lu this vicinity and at a time when the Western performers nut up to winning lorni at Washington Park are'idle. The rule under which the New York Jockey Club justified the decision as to Blazon being a starter is as follows: In all cases, horses must be struck out 30 minutes before the time appointed for the race to be run. and from that moment all horses remaining In shall be considered starters, as far as the betting is concerned. Butthecluo Is the only one at presentthat enforces such a rule. ith other associations a horse Is not a starter until he has been given a position at the post.

An Official Says Partisan Enumerators Were Appointed. irnoM a STArr connxspoirnE-rr. Washington, October 19. An official of the Censns Office said to your correspond ent to-night that he bad been asked to con tribute to the Bepnblican campaign fund. He said the reqnest was put in such a way that re nsal wonld set men to thinking that their bread and butter were at stake. "The Census Bureau," said he, "is a political and personal machine. The appointments were mostly made upon the recommenda tions of Senators and Bepresentatives in Congress. There was, and is, no civil service nonsense. Tbe appointments ol su pervisors in the cities were purely political, and the supervisors some of them at least picked out Bepublican enumerators. "In New York Supervisor Murray called on tbe local Bepnblican organizations to recommend enumerators, and so it was in many other cities. Yon ought to see some of tbe enumerators' returns from the South. They are daisies. Such spelling and such figuring was never seen Deforc in a Govern ment bureau. There will be a worse howl from tbe South than there has been from New York City, when all the figures from that section are published." CLEABING HOUSE BEPOBT.

There were big developments in tbe mystery sur rounding wbatUs Known as the Corn Dodger Clnb in Ft Worth yesterday. It is an or ganization of boys ranging in age from 7 to 15 years, many of whom have re cently been arrested by the police for complicity in petty thefts and burglaries, but on account of their youth and the small value ot their takings they have not been prosecnted. To-day six ot the boys are in jail, and with them a clothing dealer named Hall, who is charged with concealing goods stolen by the boys. It is also learned that corn dodgers have branches in Dallas, Waco, Marshall, Austin and Houston, Tex.; in Denver, Col., and probably in other places. They have a code of signals and other secret means of com munication. It is not known whether Hall is at the head of tbe organization or not. DBAWIHG TO A CX03E. Only Four Unfinished Topics Confront the Convention Tinkerers. Jackson, Miss., October 19. It seems to be generally conceded that the Consti tutionalConvention will have completed its labors and adjourned by November 5 at 'arthest. That impression is confirmed by the qnick work made on Saturday with the. report of the Franchise Committee. There are but lour more subjects to be disposed of corporations, bill of rights, general provision and levees on all of which, except the last named, elaborate re ports have been filed. Thus far the Farmers' Alliance has not left its impress upon the work ot the convention. One of its pet measures, an elective judiciary, has been unceremoniously trampled under foot, but there are indications that its spirit will be refected in the article on corporations.

HARTMAN TESTIFIES TO HIS PER MANENT CURE OF TEN MONTHS. By the Catarrh Specialists, who are permanent ly located at 323 Penn avenne. His di-ease was of seven years' standing and had baffled the skill of many doctors. The catarrhal mucus that gathered in his throat expended 10 bis longs, and a cough set in. He felt soreness and pain in hi3 lungs and around his shoulder blades. His throat became i-ore and ulcerated, breath short, eyes weak, and bad much para over them. He lost flesh and bad night sweats, which weakened him very fa3t. He says: "My disease was even worse than bas been de scribed. JTwas afraid I bad consumption. It is now over ten umntlis since I became cured, and not one of tho above svmDtoms bas re turned. I weigh more than ever before, feel well and strong, and it gives me.pleasure to add my tcstimonv with the hundreds already nub lished who have been cured by these specialists. "Johit V. Hartjian." Mr. Hartman is well known in Snarpshure and throughout Allegheny connty, and many of bis neighbors and friends have since taken treat ment. Mr. F. W. Withers. "My trouble bezan about six years ago, when I was enzaged in the flour and feed business," said Mr. F. W. Withers.-a well-known Alle cbenian, who lives at 118 Main street; "I was taken with frequent nose-bleed, and some days it would bleed'several times. Soon my nose became raw and sore on both sides and it be came so stopped np that I could scarcely breathe through it. I bad pain about my eyes, dizziness and noises in my bead. In the rooming there seemed to be a shadow orer ray eves. Then the catarrhal secretion began todrop into my throat, causing me to hawk and spit. Finally, altersuilering for about three years, I took typhoid pneumonia, and from that time I a,idly grew worse. My lungs became very weak and I felt a tight, oppressive feelingin ray chest; my breath became short and a cough set in. My appetite failed, bad a full, uncomforta ble feeling after eatinc. and my stomach felt very sore and-tender. I could not sleep well, and I bad a weary, tired feeltng. Every change of weather would cause me to take cold, night sweats weakened me and 1 lost flesh. "Having seen several testimonials of cures made by the Catarrh Specialist at 323 Penn av enue, I decided to take a course of their treat ment. 1 bad used'Iocal treatment from a doc tor, but got no better. I am now glad to testify to my complete and permanent cure bvtheso specialists. "V. W. WI TH EKS."
