IIIE BOSTOXS BEAT OUR TEAM AGAIN. lYtMdf nt (Weil Says a Few Void About His Havers Eaclcll Sens of General Interest Snrarsm:u) Bvt. .Tunc 10 Mom than 21, Ok) enthusiastic persons braved the heat of a tropical sun to-day and vKitod this course to ee the Suburban, one of the ;jreat handi caps of the year, decided. The weather could not have been improved upon for racing purposes, but it was entirely too tram for pergonal comfort. It mi of the cltv.e. humid Mnd that draws pcrsjiiratlon out of one1! pores by the quart, but nil tho discomfort could not keep lovers of racing Hum the track. The suburban was to be decided, Tcnny, the w inner of the Brooklyn handicap, was to run. That wasnll sufllcient ami any that by hook or crook could secure the time visited tho Sheep-head 15 iv track t lay. Enormous improvements had been made about tho grounds since tho last meet ing and to-day the course is one of the hand somest in America. Tne grand stand and ln'ttins ring have both been enlarged and improved in other ways, a new paddock, airy looking, but substantial as adamant, had been erected and the clubhouse brightened up in a hundred ways. AnExtnmelj Tretty Picture. The whole formed one of the prettiest pictures ever presented to an American raco crow d, aut thn j it Mils fully appreciated was shown by the excitemen an.1 exclamations of surprise nnddcligh'; that were heard on all sides. Of course. nine-t?ntU3 of those present camo to see the Suburban, but they nero w ill' a, to have their enthusiasm placed at the li.fie.st pitch by horses of a smaller caliler. Thus it was that when Civil Service won thcJh-st race after n gallant figl ho was liberally npplauA t and in the second race, the tlrst halt of the dtml even; His Hlgli ip w oheercd to the echo when lie do fented Victory nnd Nomad, while there was plenty ot sympathy for St. Florian and his lider. I.ittlelH'ld. both of whom met w ith an accident thatoo-.t them the nice It hap pened iu this way. St. Kloriac, after making nil the running, was closely pressed in the Inst furlong and Littlefleld hit him a cut with the whip He at once shot to the front lik:in arrow fro:n a bo .- and appeared to have the race won, - hen be swerved to the inner rails, going complctelv over Fortu nately, however, neither the horse norjockey was hurt. Axilous for the Uig Knee. By the time l'ort Chester had won the third race the crow d was wound up to con cert pitch and was prepared for the Sub arban. Down in the bettiug ring fathc -s o: families ecnservative business men and heavy plungers fought and pulled each othcraround in a mad endeavor to bet their money on Tenny. This couldn't go on for ever. Slow ever, and at 4:13 o'clock the bugle called the horses to tho post Out they came, lui as noble looking annuals as ever iaced a starter.

Tenny came in lor the lion's t-uure. however, and he seemed to lullv ap preciate it all. Kick again they went lb the post and then were ready for tlie fray. But no; oiiip jockey is down, and there is an other delay that is most irritating 1'inallv, lion ever, ever? thing is inreartine-sand they nll approached the starter on even terms 3'lash goes Mr. Caldwell's red flag and the big race is on.

Major Homo still holds bis lead, with Cas-ius, Demnth nnd Banquet as hi- closest attendants, while Tenni, who i- now fully extended, can't gain an inch. Meantime, "Marty Bergen on Boautaka came alongside a- though he had no interest iu the race w hatcver.

TEI.EGRAJI TO THE DlSrATCIt.3 Bostox, June 16. Tho "Birates'' left Bos ton to-night without stealing a single game from the Beaneatcrs. o other team has given the Smoky City lads such a walloping, and they were apparently glad to get away. They came just as the Bostons had developed an unexpected streak of batting, and although they did some pretty stick work themselves, the Bostons did better, and the result w as a string of four defeats for the rittsburgs. The latter have played a much better fielding gamo than the Bostons, barring to day's game, but their hits have not been as wc 1 bunched, rnd their errors have been more ldi-astrous. It Was Again Too Hot. To-day the weather was even moro ttnen durablethan it was yesterday The heat was lrightfnl. and in shady nooks all over the jcity, dow n where the people wero obliged to remain, the mercury climbed past the 100 maik. Up in the Signal ollice the thermom eter registered 07, or two degrees higher than any June dav in several years. On ac count oi this oppressive heat the crow din attendnncewas onlv SIS. Clarkson nnd Bald win w ere the opposing tw irlcrs. Tho former pitched his slow coaxers, but tho Pittsburg sluggers could not gauge them, and in only one inning did they manage to get in more than one hit. 'With the hits thus scattered and with Boston playing a steady fielding gamo the visitors thought themselves lucky to get in even one run, which-was partially a gilt. The Bostons ha vo followed the excel lent svstem of coaching mid directing the fielders which the 1'ittsburgs have exempli fied -o -uece-slnlly and are now setting their cay tor a tusslo with Brooklyn, prep aratory to overhauling the Chicagos and then the JTcw- Yorks. Started Out Very Well. For thrc'! innings in to-day's gamo Bald win was verv effective. The two successful hitters in tho first inning w ere advanced to second and third on Bennett's sacrifice, and Clarkson was presented with his baso on balls. In another inning Long came to the rescue with a two-basgcr;and the 1'ittsburgs became so excited that Browning and Miller each made a-wild throw. The result of this comedy of error-was an addition of three run- for Boston's -core. Again in the eighth there wasa fatnl string of blunders, and Bos ton scored two more runs alter two men were out. Baldn in muffed Clarkson's easy pop fly. and thi- broke up Pete Brow ning so badly that he misjudged Long's fly, and the lattcrgot three bases on what should have been an out. Claikson, of course, scoring. Slovey sent Long home with a single. Bald w in was evidently overcome hy fatigue or the heat, and did not pitch his best. Score: n yK EOSTOX. R B r A E' PITTSBURG.

Speaking about tho affairs of tho local team yesterday President O'Xoil said: "Certainly we aro in the worst kind of luck, but I want the public to understand that we are not going to make any changes. Humors to the contrary are talse. Of course, if Stratton.cannotphiy ho will be released, but let it distinctly be understood that I am not trying for any now players, nor have I over thought of trying to get any from the Western League. It is natural for false ru mors to got afloat when a team Is losirg, but we want no new players. All that we need Is to get our present ones into form. As soon as they begin to hit the ball we will bo all right. Just think of it.- We have Browning sick, Haulon and Bierbauer in jured. King and stratton unable to pitch, audlieilly with a very bad knee. Wc will soon get into line again." Secretary Seandrett said: "T,hc directors have given Mr. O'Xeil full control of the team, and I am certainly not aware that any new players are to be signed, or that any of onr old players are. to be released, except it maybe a permanently disabled man. Of course, wc cannot improve our team by going to the Western League, and we must not lose sight of that fact. Our team will be all right as soon as they commence to hit the ball." The College ltojs Won. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCn.J Greexville, June 16. An interesting game of baseball was played here to-dny between the Thiel College and the Butler Times club.

Slav In, the Australian, Knocks Out Jnke Kilrain in Xino Good Rounds In Their Ten-Round Gloie Contest Quite a Liiely Time at tho Granite Club. Xew York, June 16. The long-discussed nnd much looked-for boxing conte-t between Juko Kilrain of Baltimore, Md., and Frank Slavin, of Australia, fora$10,000purse offered by the Grantto Association, took place to night at tho club house of the Granite Athletic Association, on Grand street, be tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets, Ho boken, X. J. Slavin was declared w inner of the set-to after the ninth round. Reaching the Granite club house from Hobokcn Ferry this evening wns no easv Job. The rain storm which cooled off Xew York and its neignborhood between G and 8 o'clock loft a number of small lakes about the club house, and mnny df the early birds who reached the Granites headquarters did fo at the ex pense of a thorough soaking in mud and water, up to the middle, nt least over their shoes. The club houso presents a picture of rough isolation pmnteu in the midst, ap parently, of more or less vacant lots. It Is a structure of unplaned w"bod, having an am- ilntheater interior with' the stereotvped 24 iy 21 foot ring. Out in the w ilds of the w ild est West such a building would be laughed nt. The ring w as the best looking thing, be sides the audience, inside the club house. It was well built, tho poles wero nicely padded with red baizr, and it was carpeted with a tightly stretched covering of canvas painted a red color. Some Poor Arrangements. The accommodations for the press were as crude as those provided for the gentlenren who represented the $10 tickets. The S10 people had scats' on pine boards, sloping up to the roof to the right and left of the in terior, while tho $20 pcoplo had light wooden chairs. Tiy0:40r. M. there wero not 300 peoplo inside the club" bouse. After that hour.how ever, matters began to uesume a more Hi el v aspect. Fans wero sold at a good price anil the gallery began to shod their coats. 111 a word, tho onlv point which can be c.ted in favor of the club house was that it was well lighted. Two large eluctric lignts swung near each end of the ring and four otherand similar lights were llifug in each corner of the building. Among the prominent sporting men who were at the ringside nt an earls-hour were Macon, Frank Stevenson, Charley Johnson, Bob Turnbull. Xed Mallnhaii, Tom Gould, Dan Murphy, Jere Dunn, Denny Gallagher. Jero Dunn, the Itefcree, was the first of tho "leading lights"' of the contest to reach the 'Club House. Tho seconds of Frank Slavin, Charley Mitchell und Ed. Stoddard, accom panied by "their man" and Billy Muldoon nnd Mike Cieary escorting their principal, were also In the building in good time. Those who came early in tho hope of wit nessing some preliminary ooxing upon the 01 tne lesser m-ms, or me j. ring wero disappointed, as no such appe tizer wns provided by the management. By 10 r. m. the Club Houso -was not one-half filled and the air recked with tobacco smoko and humidity In splto of the fact that the 16 big windows in tho roof were wide open- It was claimed that tho building was capable of holding 2,000 pcoplo, and 1,500 tickets wero said to have been sold before the doois wero opened. The Crowd a Little Light. Around the ring there was practically no betting though a bluff challenge bet of $"00 even, "Ho don't stop Kilrain'Mvas shouted across tho Ting and found no""takcrs., Tho Club House nt 10.50 r. srl was still only half filled, and the Suburban was blamed for the poor attendance and the management was growled at for having selected tho Suburban day for the icontest. The audience grew moro and more impatient. At 11 r. m. tho audience had become almost riotously im- tiaticiit and no signsof the principals of tho loxing bont were to bo seen unless it was a card board box seated with black sealing wax which resting quietly withui.the ropes, wns pointed to as containing the gloves which were to be used by tho boxers. Slavin and Kilrain shook hands in tho ccnterof tho ring ntexactly 11:22 r. M..and then again withdrew to their corners. Timo was called a moment or so later and tho con. test went forward thus: First Bound Slavin immediately assumed the offensive with a rush, and, for a minuto or so, neither struck'a blow. Then Kilrain led with his right and Slavin countered neat ly; a clinch followed, during which Slavin commenced a teuriblc right-handed pound ing of Kilrain's ribs Just below the heart, and he may be said to have repented those tactics until Jake was at his mercy. Kilrain, though weakened by this sledge hammer rib-roasting, made a grand rally and gave Slavin right nnd left, more than he took in return, cheered on bj' tho audience, which was evidently in favor of the Bait I morcan. Clinch upon clinch followed, Jake seeming to get "somowiiat tho best of tho long-range lighting, when the men were sep arated by tho reforeo. Finally, Kilrain got in n good rib-roaster on the Australian, and the round ended in fnvor of Kilratn, in spite of the rib-jamming he had received, aiore Lively Rib Roasting. Second round Slavin was first on deck and us lively as a fighting chicken. The round had hardly commenced when the men clinched and the Australian again pounded away at half arm range, reaching Kilrain's sore place under the heart at, least half a dozen times. Again Kilrain rallied and gave tho Australian all ho could do for a moment or so, then another clinched followed and Slavin redoubled his attack on Jake's sore ribs, tho blows being positively slckcn ingly heavy. Whenlhe inciiworc separated Jalcc assumed the offensive in the most gallant style, ho banged his right nnd left heavily on Slavin's head; repeated the dose amid a roar of cheers; a clinch was next in order, more rib roasting and then Jake landed a right-hander on SInvin's neck, causing the Australian to whirl half around. Jake followed this up with tw o terrific right and left facers, and following these up nearly thumped the gentleman from the Antipodes over the ropes. The round ended nil in Jake's favor amid n scene of enthusiasm which caused Slavin.to look somewhat surprised. He evi dently had not expected such a warm recep tion. The old -ports at the ring side, friends of the Baltimorcan, looked grave in spite of tho good showing made by Kilrain, more than one muttering that "Jake would never be able to stand those terrible rib roasters." Of tho two Jake seemed to be the fresher nnd more confident at tho end of the seeoud round. In the third, fourth, fifth and sixth rounds Slavin punished Kilrain terriblv, knocking him down numerous times. At times Kilrain was helpless, but the call of time saved him. Slavin battered his ribs below tho heart fear fully. In tho fltth round the referee saved Kilrain from being knocked out by stopping the contest because Kilratn was standing among water. In the seventh and eighth rounds Slavin made a chopping-block of Kilrain, but the latter gamely tried to hold out the 10 rounds. uounu nine ana last dauo managed to come to tho scratch in pretty good shape, but after Slavin had landed upon him one or two he was again a mass of blood. Jake, however, managed to get in two good blows on siavins ncna, tuoiigu tticre was little force in them. Slavin on the other hand wns hitting as powerful as ever. Finally Slavin hit Jake a terrible left hander on the neck nnd Jake wont dow n as if shot. Jake slowly and painfully rose, reeled, and as the gong sounded, had to be carried to his corner and Jere Dunn gave tho tight to Slavin, who forthwith stopped over to his dazed opponent's corner and shook hands with him, and thus did Kilrain practically meet his last Waterloo and pass into the ranks of second class men. The audience hissed tho referee nnd de cision, but that,.did not affect Mr. Dunn in the least. He felt sure that Jake was beaten and so ruled in spite of all protest. j SHABPSBTOGiFIEID DAY. " The T.

THE MM OF HEAT Continues With an Intensity That Is Simply. Broiling.- GREAT SUFFERING IN NEW YORK, Especially in the Tenement Districtst Where It Is Awfttl. CONVULSIONS OX THE SDK'S SUKFACE TSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO Till DISrATCII.l New York, Juno IS. When Sergeant Dunn looked at the official thermometer of the Signal Service at 8 o'clock this morning ho found that it registered 78. At the same time on Monday morning it had registered 70. So tlie Sergeant thought with good reason that to-day would be a June 16 for the present generation to tell its grandchildren about. Fortunately tho thermometer did not continuo to climb at the natural rate. And when tho day's record was Anally made up it was found that tho maximnm heat, from 2:30 until 3 o'clock in tho afternoon, had been SB3, as against 94 for Monday. But 03 Is far away ahead of the 'record for Juno IC, the highest heat on that day in former years having been 81 in 1885. Tho hottest day ever known in Xew York the official thermometer registered 100. This wns on September 7. 1881. The hottest day of last summer was on July 8, when we had 91, which was the same temporature as Monday and one de gree higher than to-day. Real Intensity of the Heat, The official thermometer, so carefully shaded from the direct rays of the sun, gives no idea of the real heat of the wretched ani mals, human and otherwise, sweltering about upon flery pavements. To-day Ser geant Dunn thought he would seo Just how much difference It made whether a ther mdmoter was exposed to tho real heat or kept in the shade. 'At 11 o'clock, when the official thermometer registered 85, ho took another thermometer and put it in the full glare of the sun. When lie put it out it stood at 83. Xo sooner had the rays of the sun struck the bright little ball than the column of mercury began to mount as though it were possessed. The first minute it rose 6 nnd the second minuto it jumped 9, stopping short at 1003. Liter in the day an exposed thermometer would no doubt have risen to 105 or HO3, and this was the real heat which tho honest tolling burghers nnd their wives, nnd daughters had to en dure if they were abroad at all. In tho narrow streets of the East Side the misery was most pronounced. There tho sidewalks aro so narrow that the peoplo can not avoid contact with each other, and the ordinary heat of the sun was Intensfied. Tho tenements fairly-sizzled, and the babies screamed as the rash broke out on-their bodies, and their Irritated mothers spanked them for crying. A Welcome Shower or Rain. About G o'clock the sun disappeared from view. Those who looked for the cause saw that a light gray cloud was climbing up out of tho southwest, where a steady and burn ing breeze had been blowing for two days. Soon after the appearance of this cloud, the people at Battery Park noticed that the breeze had a breath of freshness in it, and was no longer steady, but came in gusts. The dust, which lay thick upon tho hot streets and sidewalks, was caughf.up and whirled along Broadway in a blinding storm. In a few minutes a deep growl and a thin flash came out of the advancing cloud, and every-, body knew that rain was at hand. And the rain camo in a heavy shower of huge drops. Sergeant Dunn says that to-morrow will De nearly as hot as to-day. On Monday attention was called to the ap proach of a great number of sun spots on that part of the surface exposed to us. These are gigantic centers of unusual activity, and in the explosions great clouds of white, hot vapors aro shot far into space in our direc tion. Many peoplo think that these explo sions increase the amount of heat sent toward the earth. The smi spots appeared Just upon the edgo of the eastern part of the sun's disk on Sunday. On Monday they were all in full view, and to-day they had ad vanced still further from tho outer rim. It may be that these mighty convulsions of the sun's surface have something to do with tho present hot weather. The number of victims of the heat carried to hospitals and houses was 19. LIGHTNING'S TEBBIBLE WOEK. A Thunder Storm Brings a Picnic to a Dis astrous Conclusion. St. Louis, June 16.
