.y'The grand circuit races at Homewood
jcloeed yesterday with several exciting con
tests. The meeting wa? the mot successful
5n the history of the association from everr
(standpoint. The weather was fine, some
thing unusual with the Pittsburg people,
4he crowds were great, the entries flrat-class
"iud tbe races for blood. The daily visitors
!to the grounds were more than satisfied, and
-j)raisd everything highly. There i no
Sceason why this should no-be a good horse
'town. The present mee'tng only shows
"that the public will go to see
'iast horses, but thoy will not put
ip with second-class "plugs." Horsemen
all over the country have been watching
'the meeting, and next year it should not be
3iad to enter the best hones in the oircuii.
U?ho management has displayed considerable
enterprise, and for once they are away
"feheid of the game. "Well, a little prosperity
won't hurt the assoc:ation and will be
Telished. Only one fault could be found,
vtt would be good judgment to hold in check
"the tough element ot the gentler sex.
They have no right to appropriate a legiti
mate sport and debar respectable people.
The crovd was 7,030 yesterday and they
got the worth of their money. In the fir;t
race the talent was badly left on the favor
ites, but tliey made up their losses in the
second and fourth races. Great interest
was centered in the effurt of Xancy Hanks
to break her record, 2:HJ.f , lor gS.W. .
Not Maad S Record.
It was put down in the programme that
she would go against 2:101.$, jfaud S' rec
ord on the Ilomewood track, but this was a
mistake. Not many In the crowd under
stood it. When Xancy came out on the
course after the first two races were over
then! was a ijreat craning of necks to see
&cr. Dobie was driving and she sailed
around the track with" iight, eay
motion. Still it was feared she
wouldn't make it. "When Doble
gare the signal with a nar
"whoop Splan appeared on the track with a
Tunning mate, .and they started around the
course at a lively rate. The little mare
seemed to be moving slowly on the first
quarter, and Splan With his hone on the
pallop had no trouble in holding
Jier even. lhe time for tue first
quarter was 33 seconds. At the
li: '1 Ttnhlo commenced to pnMi her, and ttion
the lairly moved like a bird around to the

waited breathlessly for thejudircs to hang
oi.r the record, and when 3:1 appeared
theie was a loud cheer. Ximcy had in
ci eased her standing by a half second.

mud, aud "ho raked (lie
three drivers for not doing better. When
ho nsked Doblo what was the matter, the
latter said ho had forgotten to put tho too
tips on his horse. Van Osten remarked
that he couldn't get them on too soon
to suit everybody. In the second heat all
tho horses did better. They went aronnd
without a break in 2:17K- Little HcDoelgo:
down to bnsiness in magnificent style. He
Is a beautiful trotter, and was much ad
mired. Eosalind Wilkei led until the three
quarter post was reached, closely followed
by McDoel. Anybody could see at the half
that Doble had tho heat well in hand, so
that when McDoel pulled upon the home
stretch and won by a length, the spec
tators were not surprised. Turner
tried hard to win, but the mare was no
match for the bay gelding. Odds of
10-2 were now offered on McDoel. The best
time was made in the third heat. McDoel
started at the pole and Turner was deter
mined to keep his horse to the front. They
trotted around In one, two, three order. The
struggle was sharp on tho homestretch be
tween McDoel and Kosalind Wilkes. Turner
yelled at the mare and gave her the whip
freely on the flanks. The noble animal re
sponded, goodness knows, to his master, but
against a horse like McDoel she was
Sowerlcss. McDoel led at tho finish
v a half length. Time, 2:15
This was fast trottine, and the
crowd cheered both horses. The fourth and
last heat was very tame in comparison with
the second and third. The time was 2:22,
aud doesn't begin to represent what any of
the horses onn do. The fourth was a walk
over forMcDoel.and he finished four lengths
ahead. Rosalind Wilkes lagged from the
start and Jean Smith took second plaoe at
the quarter. He held it easily to the wire.

When the talent was taken In so badly in
the first contest there was a wild rush for tho
field in the next raoes. Any number was
caught by McDoel, and Lady Sheridan
doubled up many of the boys in the fourth.
As the bettors always provide themselves
with a retujn ticket, they are sure to get
home whether they lose or not. More than
one returned yesterday to the bosom of his
family Jingling less change fn nis pocket
they when he started from home in the
morning, feelinghappy over the winnings of
the day "before. But such is life, and the men
who bet on horse races take big chances.
Sometimes they win more often the other
fellow.
In the fourth race, 2:20 class, pacing, for
$1,0J0. Victorin ,,. Lady Sheridoa, Claremont
and Monroe Brif er faced the starter. Lady
Sheridan got the pole. Monroe Brister was
next, Claremont third and Victorino was
on the outside. Monroe Brister is a Pitts
burg horse owned by McCalL He said be
fore the race that'Monroe had a very sore
mouth aud hoof, and he was doubtful about
the result. This neconnts probably for his
numerous bad breaks which lost him tho
race Brister has a record of 2-lTsf. The
first heat commenced with Lady Sheridan
against the field. The Lady held the lead
to the half, when she broke, and Monroe,
who had come up from third at the quarter
to seoond at the-haVf.-forgsd into first place.
The stallion showed great speed on thchome
stretch and won the heat in 2:20J, great
time, certainly, for the class. Brister, for
that matter, was the most remarkable fin
isher seen on the tmok during the meeting,
and his breaks were the worst.
Hard for Him to Recover.
When ho went off his feet he could only
recover by ooming to a dead stop. He would
start with a rush, break at the first turn
and fall behind nil the horses, at times leav
ing a great gap between the. last one and
himself. Then he would display remarka
able speed and make it lively at the
finish. He should have won, but his erratic
work knocked him out. When In form
Brister is a great horse, and he will make
some of them hustle before the season is
over.
In the second heat Monroe Brister was at
tho pole, but the bookmakers clung to Ladv
Sheridan. They pitted her against the field,
and the pools went liko hot cakes. "Lady
Sheridan hasn't won tbe first heat this sea
son; look out for her," shonted an ad
mirer. In the first quarter of the heat Ladv
Sheridan jumped to the polo. Brister made
one of his crrlblo breaks, and his admirers
groaned. He had to stop before he
could get his leet, and Claremont
and Victorlne easily passed him.
Brister had lost too much to overtake them
and he landed last, Sheridan fcelne first,
Claremont second and Victorlne third; timo,
2r23 In the third heat with Lady Sheridan
at the polo Brister trotted easily by her side
to tho half post, when he broke again, and
dropped at least ten lengths. Splan pushed
Victorlne, and he surprised the spectators
by getting in seoond Brister made one of
his great bnrsts of speed from the Ijall and
beat Claremont in spite of his bad breaks:
time, 2:iys. This heat convinced tho
holders ot the field that they could
not depend on Monroe Brister, and
with htm their only hope waB
gone. Claremont and Victorino could not
win unless Lady Sheridan laid down and al
Idwefl them' to walk over her prostrate form.
In the fourth and last heat Brister, as usual,
did well to the three-quarter post, and then
he wont off his feet. The crowd gave it up,
and started for the train. Brister made a
grnnd effort on the homestretch, but he had
gotten too far behind. He reached second
place by a length. Lady Sheridan winning
the raoe, Claremont coming In third and
Victorino fourth.

THE TENNIS PLAYEBS.
Buch,of Altoonn, Causes a Surprise by De
feating Christy Somewhat Easily.
There was more tennis playing at Belle
Held yesterday in the presence of a few.very
few spectators. There was quite a surprise
caused by Mr. Buch, of Altoona, winning the
singles by defeating Mr. Christy. The lat
ter's ankle failed him after winning the first
set and that caused his defeat.
Strange to say, Mr. Buch decided to go
home last evening and not play S. W. B.
Moonhead for the cup to-day. The com
mittee, however, decided that the winner of
the seoond price of the singles play Mr.
Moorhead for the cup this afternoon.
Messrs. P. X. Barr. J. E. Porter, B. B. Reed
and Byrnes are to play for the second prize
this morning. On account of his injured
ankle Mr. Christy defaulted to Mr. Byrnes.
The cup contest will start at 4 o'clock.
Following was the Buch-Christy score:
8-6. 64. 6-2.
The doubles wore won by Messrs. Wopds

a man like Cramer 1b afraid to run a man
like me who has been easily beaten by
Joseph Prlddy and Morrissey. Bnt I am
willing to run any man in my'olass and I am
ready to answer any challenge that may ap
pear relative to me. I am working heard
every aay, bnt I will still run Cramer."

Just at this stage of the League race there
is a deal of satisfaction in defeating Anson's
team, because it
knocks him and his
colts off their his-h
S
perch. "When they
came here yesterday
they were in front
place, and when our
sluggers were through
with them they were
back into second po
sition.
It will be seen,
therefore, that onr
sluggers are not en
tirely nondescripts in
the big argument,and
doubtless Anson thought that yesterday
long before the contest was finished.
"Without doubt the local players put up
one of the best games they have played this
season. There were 1,000 people present,
and they certainly enjoyed the performance.
Shugart played a brilliant game, and too
much praise cannot be bestowed on him for
his romarkable fielding. He Is quite a youth,
and it Is to be hoped that the good things
said abont him will not make him
Too Mg for Ills Boots.
But it is fair to say that the young man Is
playing in a manner that betokens a great
future for him. He was also credited with a
home-nm hit, but the hit.as a "homer" was
one of the most shady kind, and probably
ought only to havo been a single, as Dahlon
should have stopped the ball. But the hit
goes on record a a home run.
And Baldwin was out in his glory. Mark
was on dock purposely to remind Anson of
his existence as a pitcher, and Mark cer
tainly did It. Baldwin was in great form,
both at bat, in fielding and in pitching.
Only three hlt9 were made off his delivery
and two were of the scratchy order. One
was by Cooney. He knocked the ball toward
first base and Beokley had to run In for it.
He got hold of the ball and rolled over in
reaobing for it, so that he oould not by any
means Be credited with an error. Cliff Car
rbll'B two-bagger was a short fly into left
field, Just too far and too short to be caught
by the fielders.
The Chicagos put np a good game also, and
Anson moved around with considerable vim
during the entire contest. He wanted to
win very eagerly, and now and again ho made
a few bantering remarks to the umpire, which
the latter did not relish. Luby pitched ex
tremely well alter tno llrst two innings, duc
tho game wai won then.
In the first inning Miller got his base on
bahs and Beckley made a single to right
field. Shugart's sacrifice sent Miller to third
and Beckley to seoond, and Bierbauer was
sent to first because he was hit by a pitched
ball. Carroll then
Came to the Bescne
and banged a single over second base, and
Wilmot fumbled tbe ball long enough to al
low Miller, Beckley and Bierbauer to score.
In the next Inning, after Berger was out,
Baldwin hit the ball with a terrific swipe
and it new extremely high into the air. But
the hit was such a tremendous one that,
high as the ball was, it went over Wilmot's
head and dropped neac the fence. Mark got
to third on the hit. Miller was then thrown
out at first and Beckley made a double to
right center. Then Shugart followed with'
his home run hit already referred to, and
that finished the sooring on tbe local side, as
Luby from that time on was a puzzler.
Ill the fourth inning, after Burns was out,
Wilmot's grounder was fumbled byEoilly
and Dahlen got his base on balls. Wilmot
stole third and scored on Anson's single to
right, and Dahlen reached third. Dahlen
scored on Carroll's sacrifice hit, and no more
runs were made during the balance of the
game. The score:

SOME UNFORTUNATE ERRORS.
The Reds Make a Few of Them and the
Clevelands Win.
Cleveland, July 17. It was not lack of
batting, but unfortunate errors, that stood
in the way of the Cinc'nnatis to-day. The
Clevelands almost invariably cleaned the
bases when a man reached first. The brill
iant work of the Cleveland Infield was a
feature, as well as the home-run hits of
Tebeau and Young. Score:

DEBATERS COME TO BLOWS.
An Exciting Scene at a Joint Political Dis
cussion In Mississippi.
Jacksok, Miss , July 17. A newspaper
this afternoon contains an account of a per
sonal difficulty between Hon. H. D. Money
and Hon. E. Barksdale during a joint politi
cal discussion between these gentlemen, in
Oxford yesterday, in which it states Major
Barksdale, in reply to the statement of Col
onel Money that he had voted against the
land grant, which action was designated to
deprive Mississippi of the lands donated to
the State for the Gulf and Ship Island Bail
road, said that Colonel Money had also a
land grant record, that when the illustrious
Lamar and others were advocating the con
struction of the Texas Pacific Bailroad Col
onel Money, while a member of Congress,
advocated the rival project, the Huntington
scheme, and that it was afterward developed
that Huntington, who was a money lender.
aceommodated Mr. Money with a large loan.
The Colonel replied he would denounce
any man as a liar who would charge that he
supported themeasure in order to obtain
the loan. Thereupon Slajor Barksdale
hurled a book and struck Money, who was
near the rostrum. The act was repeated,
violent language in the meantime having
been interchanged. After the speaking
the difficulty was amicably adjusted by the
interposition of mutual friends.

An Enormous Shortage in the Wheat and
Rye Crops There.
Minneapolis, July 17. A cable dis
patch, received by Charles Pillsbury from
the American Consul at Odessa, Kussia, to
day, states that the wheat crop is 25 per
cent short and the rye crop 60 per cent
short. Statistics show that the average
production of rye in Kussia is over 600,000,
000 bushels. Consequently a shortage of
60 yer cent would mean a deficiency of 360,-
000,000 bushels. The average wheat crop in
Bnssia is about 200,000,000 bushels, and 25
per cent shortage would mean a deficiency
of 50,000,000 bushels. The average ex
ports of wheat from Russia are abont 100,
000,000 bushels, which would show a surplus
of about 50,000,000 bushels of wheat for ex
port, were it not for the immense deficiency
of the rye crop.
The rye crop of Russia has been in the
past all consumed at home, with the excep
tion of about 60,000,000 bushels per annum,
which isjthe largest amount ever exported.
Consequently the shortage of 60 per cent
would mean a deficiency of at least 300,000,-
000 bushels over and above the quantity
usually consumed at home, or taking the
two crops together, it would show a defi
ciency of 2o0,000,000 bushels. If these
figures are even approximately correct, Rus
sia must be a large importer of breadstuffs
during the next season, instead of being, as
in average years, an exporter nearly equal
to the United States.
