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.

They cantered up to the post, formed a line
and marched jutst the gmnd stand, where
ecrj hore and rider received more or less
applause. 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 Domo to the I'ront.
1'ora few strides a half do; en of them arc
ncek and neck. Then as they near the stand
Major Homo -hoots to Hie lront, and us he
sweeps by the crowd is a neck in front of
Cass'ue. who has Banquet at his heels, while

biinging up the near. They'nui in this order
luiuind the Inner turn, where Demuth takes
second place to Major Domo, the only other
change being that Tea Trav is hist and is
miking. He will not trv a vnrd, mid in de
spair his backers tear up their tickets
When thov straighten out for the run
lip the back siietch, the pace quickens and
the interest heroines intense. 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. Half wav
down the back strcteh Major Homo is -till
In fi out, and it begins to look as if they
would neci catch him. Demuth has gone
lip to second place and Gismu- to thiid.
Mnrplii is beginning to move up with
Trnny, and he takes sith place A tliev
nenr the turn (.nrri-oii on Tea Trav and
JSergen on I-oantaka are stil; trailing "in tho
rear. At th turn Major Domo still stavs in
flout. "They will never ratch him" cry bis
backers: hut thei will. Major Dromo is be
ginning to taller and Taral is ru-hing Cas
sius aitei "luin w hile Demuth, Kitzjnmcs,
1-aac Ix-wisand Tennvaie still urging tlie
others, .suddenly a roar goes up from the I

urging I.oantaka i-cutting Uirough the field
In a marvelous fashion. His burst of speed
i- wonderful. At the sixteenth pole he is
third, behind Major DoinoundCa-ius.
Xovt the Real Struggle Uegins.
Garrison i-hows some sisn-of life on Tea
Tray and Bergen is strung up with Loan
taka. Tcntry is in dillleultio- still in sixth
place. Murphy coiii'iicncc to urge him and
his legion of backers gain courage, for he
gains siowlj, nnd it i-hoped that his won
derful burst of speed will carry him to the
front in the sti-elch. It is a false hope, how
over, for on the turn for home he falters.
Mm phy then tries the whip. The famous
bur-r of speed i- not there, and the favorite
beaten. As they tuin into the stretch
Major Domo -till hold-that Ieadin a fashion,
but Marty is whipping and to arc all the
litheis now.
Thecrond is veiling like mad.andall the
jockys are whipping and spurring like
demons. Loantaka slowlv but surclvcnts
down the le.id, and il "yards from'homo
is on c in terms with Major Domo. Martin,
th-jockey of the latter, glance- dcspairinglv
nt the black oolt so suiely going ahead, nuil
he makes one desperate ollort. It is useless
now. Bergen is nt work like a machine.
Under his efforts the noble beast under him
r.m-es linnself,and amid the cheers and yells
of the spectators. Loantaka shoots across the
line a winner by a length and a half in 2.-07.

sl'ECIU. 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:

President O'Xell Saj s That No Xew Men Are
Wanted for the Homo Team.
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."

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS.
Frank P. 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

And cried as he seized his trusty pen,

His lines were sold for cash,
And a corner lot he buys.
The trusty pen aside is laid,
The shears beside it rest ,
Kensington his fortune made,
For he wisely did invest.

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
