THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, -SFKIDAY, JULY "lTf 1891T
PREDMORE ROASTED
Ordered Out of the Second Bace by
Van Osten, the Starter, for
Holding in Min Young.
AN OFF DAT FOR THE FAVORITES.
J. B. Eichardson, Frank Dorch and Abbie
V Had 2Co Ticnic in Winning
the Furses Offered.
THE DOUBLE TEAM TROT A BAD FAILURE
Belle Hamlin Went Lame in Practice, and Globe
and Justina 3iade the Trial.
Tho talent had an off Cay at Homewood
yesterday. The favorite don't aln ays v in,
and in the third series for the week, with
one exception, they were sadly off. As it
was easy for the hojs the day before, the
chances are their piles weie evened yester
day, and they can -tart this afternoon on the
original basis. Horse races are as uncertain
a- the span of human life, but i hen a man
feels he has a mii c w inner he t ill put up his
stuff and make the best of it if he drops the
dnst. A game lo-eris always admired at the
track, and most people will turn in and help
him to pull togethei the next time he bets.
The track was in flrst-clas condition, and
lO.nro people w-ere piesent. Secretary SIc
Cracken claimed it was the largest attend
ance in the history of the park. At this "rate
the association w ill have a very successful
meeting, and everybody is glad of it. The
daj was one of the glorious kind that is poor
for trout nulling, but if made to order
couldn't hue suited a horse race better.
Tho sun was rather warm for comfort and
the grounds a little dusty, but this must be
expected in the middle of July. Tiie quality
ol the croud was also maintained, and with
all the excitement ecry event passed off
w ell for tne people.
l'rcdmore Called Down.
An unusual thing foi Homewood occurred
in the third heat of tho second race for
pacers. Old man Trcdmore, who was driv
ing Min Young, was ruled off by Van Oaten,
the startei. The judges claimed that he
had been holding In horse in, and they
would not permit it. Predmor-; protested
that he was doing his best, but Van Osten
wouldn't listen to him, mid George Scarbor
ough, a Philadelphia driver, took his place.
"Every man must do his bct in thee races,"
Van Osten shouted, "as long as I am in this
stand. Scarborough, you drive 3Iin Young
to win. at least do your level best. That i
allanybody can require.'' Piedmoiokieked
hard, but in vain. He is a noted
Pittsburg driver. and this is the
first time he was under suspicion. Therc
Milt w ill be that in the races lor the balance
of the season he will be closely watched.
When a man is under a cloud he'is liable to
sniffer for the sharp practice of other drivers
if crooked woikiua race is suspected, and
this i- the most serious consequence. The
trouble with Predmoro was diopped when
he was ordered out of the sulky, and
Captain Kerr after the races said he
was not under suspicion. Van Or.ten
claimed he caught 1'iedmore driving
with a watch in his hand, keeping
time on his horstj. In a race for blood no
driver can do this and do his best. The
event caused no end of gossip among the
spectators, and the majority wondered that
Fredmoie would attempt it under m sharp
a man as Van Osten. He watches the men
like a haw k, and very little e-eancs him.
The affair happened in a very simple man
ner. In the first two heats of "the l-ace Min
"ioung came under the wire in the sixth and
Jourt'i places. In the third lie.it he made a
splendid hnrt of speed on the homestretch,
and landed second. "Look at 3Iin Young,"
the crowd yelled, as the game little four-year-old
got down to business in great shape.
The Heat Declared OS.
At the end of the heat there was a consul
tation in the judgeV stand that the people
couldn't understand. The positions of the
horses weie plum enough at the finish, and
ecrybody wondered what was up. Then
the heat was declared of! and Piedmore got
his 10.1st from Van Osten. In the next two
heats Min Young won easily and his stock
went up with a jump. Though ho hasale
malo name he is a chestnut gelding and was
christened after an Ohio boy.
"It looks lunnj, to say" tho least," ie
maiked more than one sport to the other,
but tho race was not finished by long odd".
Though Win 'ioung finally landed in second
place, the onng hor-e showed he was a
dandy, and gies great promise The horse
is owned by a nephew-of I'redmore. and he
claims he was dning according to instruc
tions. He had never been in races ot any
consequence, and was w itiiout a record In
the fiist heat, undei 'scaiborough, he pulled
under the wne with 2:225., to his ciedit. This
is a great fhow ing for a raw 4 year-old,
ana 11 seems was wnat tuc owner wished to
avoid for some time to come. een heats
w ere required to w in the race, and in buck-ingagain-t
an old hoisc like Frank Dorch,
the young one w as pumped oat. Manv peo-
iile think that it he had been let out in tho
jeginnmgof the race he would have won.
As it is lie has a good lecordand will have
to trael in last companv in tho future.
Much regret was expressed all around that
the plucky little animal iu run so hard in
hi first race, and it was feared that he
bad been spoiled. None, however, can
blame the judges and only by promptly cor
recting even the appearance of evil can the
dignity and honor of the race course bo
maintained. As long as races aie conducted
on the square, and the people know it, the
meetings at Homewood will always bewcll
attended.
The Horses Called.
AbOTit 1 o'clock the Great Western Band
commenced to play some lively airs which
put the crowd in a good humor. The
book-makers were doing a rushing business.
At 1:30 the horses for the first race. 2.17 class
tiotting, were called. Miss Alice was drawn,
and w ill trot m the great free-for-all, which
will be the event of to-day. The starters
were Mocking Bird, Houri, Mainbrino Maid
and J. B. Hichardson. Mambrino Maid'was
a great fa onte with tho talent, and odds of
5 to2wereoflered on her Richardson was
second. Kichaidson won tho three first
heats in close struggles. T. M. B&rnsdall,
the oil man of Pittsburg and Iiradlord, owns
a big interest in him, and he won a good pile
on the hoi e. '-I knew he w ould get there,"
he said attcr the race. "He hasbcen making
amileon half mile tracks in 2:19, and he can do
it in 2:15, it pushed." The horse is about 15
years old and has been doing some great
work this season. Last year he showed up
very poorly. Laing, his driver, handles him
better than any other Barnsdall has tried.
In the first licit Mocking Bird had the pole,
and Itichaidson, Houri and the Maid were
ranged across the track. At the start
Mambrino Maid and Mocking Bird got
off together. They kept close from
tho quarter to the three-quarter post.
At this point tho Bird broke badly,
but recovered, and lticliardsou with a
lush pulled into first place. It was
nip and tuck betw ecu them to the finish, but
Itichaidson got under by half a nose. It was
e-o close that the ciowrt was divided about
tho result. The Maid was third and Houri
last. Tune 2:ISU, the slowest of the three
beats. W lth Kieiiardson at the pole In the
second heat, he broke badly on the first
quarter and Mainbrino Maid forged to the
Ii out.
Raised Their Blood.
"Keep your eye on her," roared tho talent
"Kiciiardson can't cat ch her. Here is w hei c
he gets left," but it was no use. Mam
brino held tho lead to the three
quarter post, when Hichardson, who had
once more struck his gait, overhauled
her.and wonbya half length. Goldsmith ex
pected toduve the Maid, hut he decided to
avc ins strengin lor tne iree-ior-aii to-day,
and Geer took his place. It was reported
the veteran was laid up, but Secretary llc
Cracken denied it. He has had a bad 'spell
of sickness, and is not a well man. The
time of the second heat was 18. In the third
heat, with Mambimo Maidnext to Kichard
Minon the inside, the gelding repeated his
old tactics, and went off his feet at the
turn of the first quarter. The Maid
jumped to the front, but went to
pieces on the bridge. Itichaidson passed
her, but soon broko himself. The race at
this point was very exciting, the crowd
cheering as one or the other lost the gait.
But it was the old story. Kiciiardson cap
tured the licit with two lengths to spare.
Time, 2:18. Kvcn Mocking Bird made a
spurt and bent out Mainbrino Maid for sec
ond place. Houri was last in each heat.

The second race, 2:24 class, pacing, for
S1.000, was the one that pleased disinterested
spectators. Seven heats were necessary to
decide it, something which has not hap
pened on the Homewood track for a long
time. Frank Dorch, Hermitage, Robin, Min
Young, Windsor II, Ravelli, Shawhan, Lavern
and Plunger faced the starter. Tho favorites
were Robin, Windsor H and RavellL.bnt tho
people who bet on them were badly ,fooled.
Ravelli won the two first heats and
looked like a sure- winner when
Prcdmore was ordered off the track.
After that he hadn't a ghost of a chanco to
land the one heat needed. The horses start
ed with Lavern at tho pole, Kobin next and
Dorch third. The other horses were scat
tered on tho track. In the first heat Robin
broke badly, and Windsor II showed up
poorly. Neither were in it from start to fin
ish. Kobin coming in last and Windsor H
eighth. This made the boys very weary.
Lavern was fourth, but broke under the
wire and went to fifth place to make room
for Shawhan. Little Min Young, who caused
the trouble later on, held dentin- position
around to the home stretch, and then pulled
into sixth place. He was warming up.
Ravelli got first place. Time, 251.
Dead Easy Tor Kavelll.
In the next heat Ravelli had the pole,
Frank Dorch was second and Kobin was on
the outside. Ravelli led from start to finish.
He broke near the finish, but recovered in
time to win by two lengths. Shawhan held
second place around to the three-quartc.r
pole, but dropped to fifth at the wire- Her
mitage held third place throughout the heat.
Dorch was again second, and Kobin. the
favorite, was last from the start. Time,
2S0JJ. The thiid heat was declared off for
reasons alreadv referred to, anu Scar
borough drove Min Young. In the next heat
Kavelll led at the start, being the polo
horse, and Min Young at once jumped into
second place. There was a loud cheer. He
held it to the three-quarter post, and beat
out the heat by a length. Up to thi3 time
Ravelli looked a suro winner, and some of
the betters heaved a sad sigh that almost
broko their hearts. He came under the
wire in seventh place. Plunger got in sec
ond and Robin eighth. Time, 2:2 In the
tourth heat Min Young was second to the
three-quarter post, and then lumped into
first place, winning by several lengths. The
excitement; wns f?re.it. but. Dorch was show
ing good speed. Plunger got in in third
place and Shawhan fourth. Time, 2:23J4.
Min Young Drops.
At the end of this heat Lavern was drawn.
In the fifth heat Min Young missed it a little
on the homestretch, and Dorch got in first
with Plunger second. Many were sorry
that the little fellow had not won. It was
whispered around that Min Young was
pumped out, and so he was. In the sixth
heat Dortch, as the pole horse, Min Young
and Kavelli started in tho order given, the
others being ruled out. At the quarter Min
ioung rushed to the pole, Ijnt Geers
took "it very coolly. lie knew Dorch
was older and a stayer. Dorch
cins-ht up after a hard race at
the three-quarter post, and won easily by a
length in 2:32. the worst timo made during
the present meeting. Kaelll was never in
it. The seventh and last heat was a walk
over for Dorch. He led from the start and
came under the wire on a slow trot. Time,
2.42 worse than ever. Min Young was too
til ed to go faster, hut he got second place in
the list. He can do much better if squarely
driven.

Globe and Justina trotted double against
tho record, 2:13, for $2 500. Of course, it was
a great fizzle, as evcr body expected under
the circumstances. Belle Hamlin and Jus
tina were to have made the trial, but Belle
hui t herself in practice the day before while
Geers was driingthe trio together. Globe
was also in bad form. Kather than disap
point the people Hamlin instructed Geers to
drive the two horses. If everything had
gone well the old man would have handled
the reins. He is very proud of Belle Hamlin
and Justina. He made the record with them
last year on the kite-shaped track at Inde
pendence, la. Owing to Bello namlin's
lamenes-, the attempt of the three to beat
the 2:20 record was not made. This was tho
only disappointing feature of the day. The
summary tollows:

record. 2:13. purse 82,500.

Two games at Exposition Park yesterday
afternoon for one price of admission at
tracted 2,600 people to tho grounds. The
contesting teams were the Brooklyns and
our sluggers and each sido scored a victory,
so that matters were quite equitable on that
point. The two contests were full of feat
ures and at stages things were indeed ex
tremely lively.
To start with, King, thepitcher who a day
or so ago was suspended without pay for
two weeks, pitched in the first game and in
the second game Fields, who on Monday was
released, was the catcher. Funny deals go
ing on among our sluggers.
But the leading feature of the first game
was the retirement of Ward from the con
test. He was ordered out of the game by
Umpire Hurst besides being fined $10. At
the stage of the game where that occurred
matters were indeed exciting and it may
reusonnbly bo said that. Ward caused most
of the trouble. He objected to a decision of
the umpire and the latter told him
that the decision must stand. Instead
of going back to his position as ho
ought to have done, and as he might have
been exnected to do, he remained nt the
plate and argued w ith Hurst despite the lat
ter's ordors for him to resume play. The
argument became so warm that Hurst or
dered him out of the game and Caruthers
went to right field and Burns took Ward's
place.
President Byrne, who was in the press
box, supported Hurst's decision in ordering
Ward out of tho game. Mr. Byrne claimed
that Ward had no right to delay the game
after a decision on a matter of judgment had
been made. At any rate tho game
Was Lost to Brooklyn
In that inning and Mr. Byrno didn't conceal
his indignation nt Ward's conduct and his
general play of late. Ward claimed that he
only asked Umpire Hurst if he had called
the runner out at first, and that becaust of
that question Hurst fined him $10, and when
Ward objected to that he was ordered out of
the game.
In tho first inning two singles and a stolen
base earned Becky's run and then the visi
tors made three in their half of the inning.
Rcilly's errors allowod Collins to reach first,
and a doubie bv Ward, a single by Foutz, a
sacrifice by O'Brien and a three-bagger by
Griffin netted the three runs.
In tho fourth the visitors got two more on
Pinckney's single, a base on balls, a passed
ball, a sacrifice hit and an error by Keilly.
The score was now 5 tc 1 in favor of the
visitors, and in tho fifth inning the sluggers
tied the score. Bergcr started off and was
ut out nt first. Then King, Miller- and
eckley made singles, filling the bases.
Shugart sent n grounder to Ward and the
latter fumbled the ball, King scoring and
Shugart getting to first. Bierbauer made a
short hit to third and was called -safe at
first, but Ward objected, and then followed
the trouble referred to above. Millerscored
on Bierbauer's hit, and Hanlon's single to
right scored Bcckley and Shugart. A double,
play retired the side. A base on balls and
two singles scored the run in tho sixth, and
a single, a sacrifice ahd a muffed fly by
Caruthers scored the last run.
The Game We Lost.
There need be little said about the sec
ond game, a3 it was replete with bad plays.
Old Sport Galvin was the pitcher and Fields
was his catcher. But Jeems was the ta'rgtft
so often for hot liners that one of them front
Caruthers' bat struck him on the arm so
hard that ho was disabled. But tho visitors
were trimming Jeems up. Maul replaced
him, Berger going to right field. Maul did
fairly, three hits being made off his delivery
in the two innings hojiitched. He gave one
base on balls.
But the home players were outplayed
from tho start, as in the first inning tho
visitors scored four runs on three hits, two
sacrifices and errors by Galvin, Reilly nnd
Hanlon. The balance ot the runs were innde
mostly on eirors, although the hitting was
livelv. The lead of tho visitors could not be
caught nud the hoirie team were hopelessly
beaten after the first inning. In the ninth
inning there was a little excitement, as with
one mnn out and two men on bases, Shugart
knocked a hot grounder to Burns. The
latter should have stopped tht ball, but
failed, and as a result Shugart got round the
bases, two runs going in ahead, of him.
Many thought the lilt a homer, but it was
not, and was onlv credited as a single. Fol

WEI' SHE MARRIED AMRGHIST SPIES
f SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCH.
Chicaoo, July 16. Nina Van Zandt, tho
romantic Cbicago'girl, with a rich .-aunt in
Pittsburg, was narried for. a second -time
this evening at 8 o'clock at her' parents'
residence. No. 21 Schiller street in this city.
The marriage is not of the proxy order, as
was that by which Nina became the wife of
August Spies a short timo before the execu
tion of that brilliant Anarchist nearly four
years ngo. The groom this time Is
a young man and a sunny Italian, 23 years
of age Nina is 22 a journalist in his native'
city of Palermo; who. in his six months n
this conn try has not advanced higher than
the station of clerk in a grocery store.
Nina's Itomantlc First Love.
The story of Miss Van Zandt's attachment
to Spies has been so often told that tlie
whole world knows it; still it has never
quito.lost its interest and freshness, because
of the romantic character of tho girl who
recklossly disregarded the wishes .o her
Pittsburg relatives and. sacrificed hopes of
$500,000 to marry Spies.
For the first timo. Miss Van Zandt has. told
her friends the true story of-ber marriage to
Spies. When, with her mother she attended
the trial of the Anarchists, it was the first
time she had ever been inside a court. She
became deeply interested in Spies, and when
he was condemned her sympathy with him
rapidly changed to love. She frequently
consulted with Captain Black, attorney for
tho condemned man, and it wa9 he'
who mado the suggestion that she marry
Spies by proxy. -The captain talked
to her for four long hours, says Miss Van
Zandt, and persuaded her to make tho sacri
fice. He argued that the Americans were a
romantic people, and that the "sacrifice by
her could not- fail to save. Spies' life. By.
Captain Black's advice the whole matter
was kept from her parents as long as possi
ble. Leonard Swett, she says, knew of
Black's scheme; nnd declared that it was an
outrage. Miss VanZandt now thinks so, too.
She condemns Captain Black in -very em
phatic 'language.
Her Italian Husband.
The groom of to night, besides beingyoung
and talented, has the advantage of poverty.
He has not yet had an opportunity of mak
ing his fortune in this country. He has not
even learned enough of theEnglish languago
so as to be able to express it as intelligibly
as the average denizen of the hilly part of
Virgin allev. The. story of the courtship is
short and pretty, but altogether devoid of
the pathos of Nina's first matrimonial ven
ture. The young Italian Signor Stcfano
Malalo soon after his arrival here took
part with Salvani's Diamatio Company, and
attempted to play the part of Paoto, the
treacherous brother of Lamceotto. for whom
he wooed and won a wife and then deceived
them both; while to Miss Van Zandt was as
signed the rolo of Francesco, the frail
daughter of the Lord of Savenna. As an
actress Nina was not a success. She did not
appear in the part at all, and Stefano, who
had during the reliersal another, out of sym
pathy, also declined to tako his part.
From Stage to Altar.
It was a very short time after that that
Nina's friends noticed, that she had-a Very
devoted admirer, and soon after the engage
ment was announced. The Pittsburg aunt
it is said, has bqc-qme reconciled to Nina and
is quite enthusiastic oyer thd change in the
affairs of her famous niece. So much so, in
fact, that she is said to have advanced the
money for a European trip, on which tho
young -couple start for New York on the
French., steamer La Champagne this week.
Miss Van Zandt pleaded earnestly with tha
World's Exposition officials for an appoint
ment for her husband as a commissioner,
but the post had already been filled. The
wedding, was a very quiet one and among
the spectators was-the Pittsburg-aunt of the -bride.
DENIED A CATHOLIC BTJRIAL.:
A Murdered Couple's Bodies Uarred Out of
' Church and Cemetery.
fSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.
New York, July 16. William Brennan and
his wife Elizabeth, who were killed on Tues
day morning in Jersey City by Policeman
John Ryerson, were buried this aftcr-t
noon. The two bodies were put in
one grave?. Their relatives Intended to
hayo funeral services in St. Joseph's
Church and bury them in the Catholic
cemetery, but Monsignor Seton, the pastor,
refused to allow an3T services in the church.
Ferinisslon to bury the bodies in the Cath
olic ceinotcrv wns also refused. This was be
cause the ill-fated couple hadneglected their
religious duties; had not lived up to the rules
of the church, and therefore could not bo
buried in consecrated ground.
It wns held that they had virtually ex
communicated themselves and were not
entitled to. any of the rights of tho church.
The funeral was attended by a number of
relatives and neighbors, who complained
very bitterly because they were forced to
have the bodies buried in a Protestant
cemetery.

A CLEVEE BIT OF DECEPTION.
How a Pretty Girl Kept Her Complexion
While on a River Excursion.
There was a veiy pretty jrirl among the in
vited guests on the Gusky Orphan excursion,
Wednesday. Her main, beauty, however,
was in her lovely complexion. Every one
who saw her remarked the peculiar fresh
ness of her skin, and, in a mild way.did some:
raviiig. There wasn't a trace of powder or'
rouge; it appeared perfectly natural, and
was so declared by would-bo connoissems of
fine arts.
But to tell the truth it was a very clever
little hit of deception Just the same. The
young lady made "frequent visits to the
dressing room, and each time made vigorous
applications of her handkerchief to 'the
delicately-tinted cheeks, after which, with
an air of demureness perfectly fascinating,
she would take her seat on the deck, draw
her shoulder capemoto closely, and pose for
tho admiration she invariably received.

IThe scarcity ol rain this year has revived
among the superstitious Slavs some quaint
heathenish beliefs and practices. An inter
esting ceremony is practised among the
Bulgarian colonies in Bessarabia. It is
called "Paparooda,"' which signifies "the
thirsty demon." The maidens of the vil
lage choose a pretty orphan girl, strip her
naked and clothe her in a garment of leaves.
She is then denominated "Paparooda," and
becomes thef leader.' They follow her
through .the village. She stops at every
house door and orders them to sing. She
herself does not sing, but turns around in a
circle, with the left arm raised and the right
hand outstretched.
The singing is continued in a sad, slow
tone until the"ihaster- of the house comes
and puts a handfurpf flour in Paparooda's
hand. As soon as this is done she orders
her followers to stop singing at once, and
leads them to the next house. But thein
mates of the honso which the procession
leaves must pour water upon the 'Paparooda
and her followers; the more water they can
pour out the sooner will rain come.
