THE CLOSE OF A SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Ten thousand sweltering, panting human
beings crowded the Homewood race track
yesterday. They were of all ages, sizes and
conditions in life.
The rich, or rather those who flashed
ponderous rolls of money, were like stars
in the sky; while those unfortunates who are
always with us were not wanting.
The meeting ended in a blaze of fiercest
sunshine, crowned with the enchanting word
"success," and hallowed by visions ot more
to follow.
Beginmng in gloom, it closed like a day
In June. Other meetings will follow; they
will be attended with more or less success,
but it is doubtful if any will in all
respects be as pleasant, as "interesting and
as auspicious as the last Indeed, it has so
thorough- met the anticipations ol the man
agers that they already contemplated, and
have almost decided upon a lall meeting.
The horsemen want it, the patrons clamor
for it, the enthusiasts demand it, and the
chances are that the managers will grant it.
Xo one who has attended the meeting
jnst closed is satiated, and the thousands
ho have not beeu there but were anxious
to go will go to another. Even with the
exciting incidents which have been stirring
Pittsburg and vicinity for the past month,
tbere is nothing which takes the cares of
business from the mind or sends the blood
tingling through the veins like a horse race.
Endurance of thn Crowd,
Hut the crowd. It was large, it was
brimming with enthusiasm, it talked horse.
It wanted the world to know that what it
did not know about horses was not worth
knowing.
The rays of the mid'ummcr sun dashed
aiainst it iu solid columns, but the crowd
stood its ground. Of course, as in all such
assemblies, there were a few cold-blooded
individuals who did not perspire. They
were so few, however, that a diligent
search was necessary to produce them.
There were also a few of the men who did
not remove their outer coats. Those who
did not had none to remove.
The little cam as-covered sweat box in
which Trank Hcrdic's seductive voice
chanted the odds, and where
the pools were sold, was filled
between the heats with a mob of men wil
ling to risk big or little piles of the na
tional currency on their favorite.
The merchant rubbed elbows with the
clerk, the manufacturer with the workine
man, the gentleman of leisure with the
tout, the professional sport in his horsey
slothes with the rustic who was being
initiated in the pool business. The only
time these people lelt the neighborhood ot
the canvas was when they went down along
the track to watch a finish.
The man who knew more than anvone
nn the grounds was theve to answer any or
all questions, besides volunteering volumes
of inlormation on eac'a horse if tou wished
or on all of them combined it preferred.
JTie Man, Who Knew -It JLV.
If you looked as though you might place
a bet", and did not know exactly where to
put it, there was aluays a stranger at your
elbow to say:
"Don't lergit dat little black boss, see!
I've seen him go in 2:14 flat, and there's
cothin up that can throw dust at hi in."
"What horse are you talking about?"
"2Cow, see here, this is on the quiet, but
if you'll help me out with a couple of cases
I'll let the snap go. I'm one of that kind
that al ays likes to see a gentleman win.
What, you don't want to know? Well, vou
are the only bloke I ever see what didn't
want to make a pot of dust."
The novices were largely winners. The
favorites with the exception of Amboy,
were covered withthe dust of the speeders
when they passed the wire.
It was a great day Xature turnished her
share of greatness, humanity and the horses
did the rest. A boiling sun, a summer
shower, a gentle breeze and mellow twilight
were the various features. The shower was
scarcely heavy enough to lay the dust, and
the breeze was welcome as a sparkling
fountain to the desert travelers.
Patronized the Refreshment Stands.
The lemonade and lunch counters were
freely patronized. Big men, little men.
short men, tall men, handsome men and
men devoid ot beauty were thirsty, but,
unless they brought stimulants with them,
they had to be satisfied with lemonade,
pop or spring water.
And the ladies. They were all handsome.
They were out in charming colors, and
filled the grand stands with a kaleidskopic
lision as the v waved their handkerchiefs
and lans when their favorites went under
the wire
Carriages filled the inclosure opposite
the judges stand. Every form of vehicle
from the one horse shav to the tallv-ho was
represented. They were coming and going
all afternoon, and at one time over 150 were
counted.
It was a successful closing of a successful
meeting. That many ol the tame kind will
follow is beyond a doubt That they will
be patronized was developed in the, last four1
days. Nothing is wanting aud a lall meet
is now almost assured.
The 3:40 Trotting Kace.
There were but five starters in the 2:40
trotting race, and they went to t-ie pole in
the Cist heat in the following order: R, F.
Meginuis' ch. s. Judge Fisher, a favorite,
S. Heuey's b. g. King Princeps, AVilliam
Hill's b. m. Maud A, Vandergrift &
O'Dell's b. g. Dick "Wills, and R. It
Brow nc's c. s. Judge G. They all got off at
the second trial, Judge fisher betting the
pace at a lively gait, and taking the lead
from the start- There never was a great
distance uetw cen Judge Fisher, Maud A and
Jnd'o G, but at the half Judge crept up to
the leaders, and all three came down the
stictch close together. Judge G forging
all end, and in the lat 100 yards leading In
two lengths, at which distance he passed
under the wiro In 2:2GJ.
Tin second heat was more exciting; at the
finish from the fact that each of the three
in the lead stmlneu every nerve to got
under the wire fiist, Judzc fisher kept in
the lead from the word "go" and never lost
Ins advantage, though he was pressed hard
by King Pi inceps in the last quarter. With
in 100 feet of the wire, just as King Princeps'
bend reached Judge Fxshcr's wheel, the
1 ittei's drum avo him a looerein and he
idiot ahead like an i.rrow. Judgo G took the
middle ot the road in the stretch and came
down nt a tciuflcgait, but he wag too far
behind and onl succccdod in coining in
thlid. Altogether a more exciting finish
could not ha e been wished for. Dick Wills
was distanced in this heat
The third heat was a pretty race all
through between Sing Princeps and Judge
I'i-her. It looked ve:y much n the final 50
jauUnsit King Princeps lud the best ot it,
but he went off his feet only a few yards
lrom the wire, and Judge Fisher took the
beau He had been in the lead from the
et n t by only about a neck, except at the
quarter, where King Princeps broke and foil
behind only to catch up at the hair, and
Jro.u there on there was never a length or
moif than h.tlf a length between them.
Kins; Princeps Capturm the Itac-.
1 he fourth heat was a very tame affair.
Jude Fisher broke inside of tho 100 yard
inaikaud fell-back to fourth place, but got
back into scoond place by the time the bat
was readied. King Princeps stepped into
first place by this fatal fault, and kept it
easily to tlie finish, winning without exer
tion in 2rMJ, three lengths ahead or Judge
Fisher.
Tho ilfth heat narrowed tho contest down
to King Princeps and Judge Fisher. The
latter started well, but broke at tho eighth
and fell back to fourth position. King Prin
ceps at tho pole kept tho lend all the way
round, Maud A second until the flve-oighth.
Just when Judge rishcr, who had been
creeping np, took tho pushing place and
came down almost a sure w inner on at least
very closo to it, but a slight bre.ifc at the 100
aid mark spoiled his chancos, and King
Prlncips passed under the wiro a length
ahead In 2:27. Maud A not having won a
heat in live was ruled ont for the sixth heat,
and Judge G wa distanced, throwing the
race into the hands of either King Princeps
or Judge Fisher.
At this tirao there was some close gnesBlng
as to who the winner would be. Tho talent
backod Judge" Fisher heartilv and on tho
outside a lew took anotlon to King Princeps
and invostod in his name. A little circum
stance that occurred. Just before the sixth
heat started caused the Judgo to call over
Judge Fishers driver and owner. It T.
Jteginuis. Judge Fisher had broken uaiity
in the two previous heat. tho time was not
extraordinary and when tho horse came out
lor tho final heat be was w llhout toeweUhts.
The Judgo ordeicd tho tocwoighti replaced
and put Evans behind, but Judgo Fishor lost
the race Just tho same. Both animals got
well awav together, nut before the flrt turn
was readied Judge Fisher broke and fell off
lully half a dozen length's. Ho wont well
alter that and partially regained lost gronnd
bv tho time thev reached tho homestretch.
Evans ga o him the whip, but ho broke
again within a fow vards of the wire and lost
his chances of winning first money. King
Princeps took the first money, Judge Fisher
second and .Maud A third.

The 2:10 I'acinc Kace.
Six animals came up for the 2:19 pacing
race. Hcndershol's r. h.. Subscriber: Ed.
Odeil's b. in., Elva Medium; R. S: McCall's b.
a., Munro Buster; John Frash's g.g., Tommy;
Texas stables b. s., Keflector, and S. K.
Clark's b. h. g., David Copperfleld. The win
ner of the first heat, Subscriber, kept in the
lead from the first eighth, though it looked
at one time as it Keflector migljt be pushed
at the 100 yards Reflector's driver made I
to tlie iront. it was a very pretty musii mm
thin? interestinsr hv uslnsr tho whinfieclv,
but Subscriber vonbv li.ilf a length with
scat cely an effort in 2:19K, Keflector a good
second.
Something of a surprise awaited everv
bodv in the second heat. It was predicted
that Reflector would show his heels to the
rest of the field in this, but he broke
before the flist quarter was reached and
tell behind. Subscriber kept fairly well in
the lead until the half and then Tommy, the
only gray on the track, began to croep up to
the le.id. Een at the three-quarters it
looked as if Subscriber had a sure thing,
but here wa where the surpiise came in.
Toinmv put on an extra burst of speed,whilo
Subscriber couldn't get any more life in his
leet, and Tommy took Hie heat iu 2:17.
Subscriber -econd and David Copperfleld
thiid, Reflector, on whom so many hopes
had been based, taking nothing but the dust
ot allthe others.
Snbscrib-r Wins With Ease.
Tommy disappointed his admirers in the
third heat, while Subscriber passed under
the wire in 2r20, closely pushed by Elva Me
dium, who cimc up unexpectedly. In the
other heats she had never been very closo to
the -winners, but in this one she kept close
to Snbsci iber lrom the start.and in tho finish
her dm er used the whin fieely. Tonimv
broke in the first 100 yards, again near the
h iir and tn Ice near the tlirec-quirtcr, finish
ing in sixth place. 'Reflector never was in
it, in fact he lost his feet disappointingly in
e cry heat bc:ore the one-quatter was in
sight.
The fourth heat decided the raco in favor
of Subscriber, who had the lead from the
statt, and was, as in the previous heat, ner
preed, although Elvu Medium came up
clo-c at the stretch and tried hard. Tlie
whip was again used freely, bur Subscriber
w alked in at an easy cait, finishing in 2:19J
He could probably have gone two seconds
faster, but there was no necessity Tommy
behaved almost asbadl v as In the third heat,
and Reflector dumped the talent on the race.
He had a nice, long, easy stride, bnt be never
went a beat without losing his feet badly.
Tommy took second money, Elva Medium
third and Reflector fomth.

Amboy Wins In Three Straights.
Amboy carried off three straight heats in
the 2:25 trot. Tbere were seven starters in
this event, the first heat of which did not
get off until 5 o'clock after nine attempts.
The statters were at the wire in the follow
ing order: S. 15. Clark's Claudius, s. g.; John
Reamer's Major Flower, ch. h.; D. J. Englo's
Paragon, b.g.: A. C. Con well's Amboy, ch. g.;
IL J. Jamison's Belle Cassett, g. m.; F. A.
Hall's Franklin, bk. g., and E. IL Browne's
Captain Lyons, b. s. Belle Cassett promised
well at the outset but she broke and Claudius,
the pole horse, kept the lead only a short
way ahead ot the field which was bunched
pretty well all the way through. Amboy,
hon ever, forged from third place to tlie
front between the half and three
quarters and came home a winner In
2:2 Paragon a close second and
Claudius a few inches behind.
Ambor also won the second heat in a
walk. He took tho lead at the start, with
Belle Cassett and Paraxon closo behind. At
the quarter the field drooped well behind,
leaving these three to finish almost in their
own gait. Amboy still led at the half and
three-quarter, and Paragon crept up into
seco-d place. Major Flower pushinjr Belle
Cassett for third. In this position they fin
ished, Parapon's driver using the whip free
ly, but Amboy was never touched, and
walked in a lull length ahead in 2:1
Paragon drew out before tho thiid beat
was leached. He had come in second in
each of tho other heats and looked a likely
winner ot one of tho heats, but his condition
was such that it was thought best to with
draw him. It made no dlfferenco, however,
for Amboy walked away with this heat Just
as he had the other two heats. Belle Cassett
was a good seoond when the half was
reached when Clandius came up with a
burst and Major Flower let out a link that
brought him into third place. Claudius
pressed Amboy hard at the finish and whips
were laid on tilth a will, but Amboy kept
his lead otu length and a half and won in

Tougn on Garfield t'ark.
Chicago, July 23. Judge Horton, of the
Circuit Conrt, to-day dissolved the Injunc
tion restraining the city from interfering
with tho selling of pools at the Garfield
racetrack on the ground that such pool
selling is gambling and forbidden by the
Stato law. The Garfield Knclng Association
is in tho habit of naming a few old "skates"
under tho name of raco horse, and using
this fact as a cover for its leal business, tho
selling of pools on Eastern races. As soon
as the decision was announced tho Mtyor
lorbade the issuance of a license to tho asso
ciation, and the Chief of Police gave notice
that he would suppress all pool-selling on
the course. The managers announce that
they will, nevertheless, open their summer
meeting on Monday, and that admission to
the grounds will bo tree.

THE OLD-TIME B0 WEES.
The Old "Ward Brothers Bow an Exciting
Race on tho Hudson.
Boston, July 23 Special.) An effort is
being made to bring tho crack oarsmen of
the world to tho World's Fair next season
to engage in single, tioublo and lour-oared
races.
A New York sporting man now in Eng
land states that if the Australians, Stan
bury, Kemp, Sullivan and McLean, will
come to America he will guarantee a $5,000
riurse, and if Stanbury can procure backing,
the American champion will row him for
stakes of $5,000 a side.
It would make a fine race in fours to see
O'Connor, Gaudaur, Teemer, and either
Hanlan or Hosmer meet the crack Austral
ians, and large sums would be wagered on
the result.
Itenforth, Brown and other old-time
champion oarsmen must have turned over
in their graves Wednesday when old Josh
and Gill Ward, of the famous Ward
brothers' crew, rowed a match race on the
Hudson riverat Newbmg. N. Y.
Like all oarsmen, the Winds think they
can row as well to-day as they did CO yeais
ago, when they defeated the crack English
and Canadian crews on Saratoga Lake.
A discussion of old-time races brought
about a desite to see which was the better
man in light skiffs, and in order to make It
more interesting, each took ono of his
nephews I or partners.
A big crowd gathered around the starting
point, and loudly cheered Gil whon be ap
pealed with a tri-colored handkerchief tied
around his head, justas he always looked in
his palmy days.
The couise was one and a half milo, with
one turn. Tlie eterans row ed stroke. Josh
ls'.ffi yeais old and Gil is several years his
J unior.
Dan Ward, 25 years old, was Josh's part
ner, and Edward was Gil's mate.
George A. Prince, Messenger of the Court
of Anpeals, was referee, he was also an old
time oarsman of note.
Tho crens got awav on even terms, both
stnkine 3S to tho miiiute, aud reached the
stakeboat together.
The race homo was a desperate one. and
leminded the spectators of the Wards' old
contests.
Josh and mate began to draw away from
their tivals as they neared home, and won
by four lengths.
Gil claims that Josh had the best boat, and
another race with an exchange of boats is
likely to take place.

SULLIVAN'S STHONO TALE.
John Is Certain That He'll Down That Fel
low Corbttt in 20 Minutes.
Bathead, N. Y., July 23. Specfo?. "I'll
lick that fellow in 20 minute, sure," was
Sullivan's reply to a question concerning his
fisht with Corbett to-day, "and I amns good
a man to-day, prrctically, as I ever was in
my life."
He now weighs 229 pounds, Jnst three
pounds heavier than when ho fought Jake
Kilrain. Sullivan says that the coming
battle will be the greatest business transac
tion of his life, and for that matter he is
more than ever nnxious to bring it to a suc

rfPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1SPATCH.1
"Washington, July 21 The game of
Pittsburg to-day was a very decided im
provement over
yesterday's ex
hibition. Ehret's
work in the box
was clever and
his support had
that snap and
energy about it
that seemed to
mean winning
ball. In the
second inning,
Shugart's pa
tience was re
warded with a
base on balls.
S
mito.'k
Msistr
Mr. Beckley fol-
lowed and reached first on Milligan's error.
Shugart meanwhile had stolen a second, and
scored on Kelly's single. In the third
Kelly made a sensational catch of Milli
gan's long fly and shut out a run that
seemed a sure thing for the Senators. In
this inning Milligan had to leave first on
account of an injury to his hand, and the
base was filled by Dufiee, Hoy taking his
place in center field.
The Senators Tied the Score.
In the fourth the Senators tied the score
on Duffee's sacrifice, which brought JIo
Guire home, and in the fifth Hoy crossed
the plate on Cooney's three-bagger, giving
the Senators a lead in their half of this inn
ing. The Pittsburgers rapped the balls at
a lively rate. Smith hit a ball which Killen
tried to hold, but it eluded him and was
stopped by Danny Richardson, who juggled
it, and lelt Smith sale at first. ITarrell sent
a long fly to left field, which slid through
Dowd's fingers, and resulted in bringing
Farrell to second and Smith to third. Then
Kelly hit safely to center and Smith scored.
Ebret rapped out a hit to short, and Farrell
scored on a missed throw to the plate.
Miller sent a ball just over the shortstop's
head, which advanced the runners, and
Kelly scored on a bad throw by McGuire
from the plate to first. "With this lead
Pittsburg stock went up, but in the sixth
inning the Senators put on a spurt.
rat on a Big Spurt.
Dufiee took first on a bunt, Richardson
flew out to Donovan and Robinson dropped
an easy fly into Farrell's hands. Then with
two men out on Radford's long hit to right
field Duffee scored, Dowd hit a two-bagger
and Radford scored and was followed by
Hoy, whose home run landed Dowd and
himself across the plate. In the seventh
and eighth innings, Pittsburg made a great
effort to recover their lost ground, but they
had trouble in connecting with Killen's
curves and the hits made by Miller, Dono
van and Bierbaucr went for naught.
In their half of the ninth, the Senators
scored another run on McGuire's sate hit
over the shortst op's head, which brought Hoy
home from second. In this inning the
Pittsburgs made a pretty start Ehret hit
safely for a base over second and was ad
vanced by Miller's lone hit to left field. At
this point in the game Mack was substituted
for Donovan. He struck an easy fly to
Richardson at second, who purnnsclv tailed
to catch the ball in order to make a double
play, only to succeecfi in cutting Miller off
at second. This closed the struggle, as
Bierbauer struck out and Shugart was re
tired on his long fly to left field. Score:

A LOUISVILLE KICK.
The Colonel Charge the Flttsbnrg Club
With Unfair Dealings With Players.
Louisville. July 23. The Louisville Base
ball Club has a grievance. It is against the
Pittsburg club, and the claim is made tnat
the Gas City management has tried to keep
Louisville from getting certain Western
League players. ,
The recent trouble in getting Clausen, of
Columbus, is blamed on Pittsburg. Presi
dent Stucky says that Pfeffer recently went
to Columbus to sign Clausen. A wtitten
agreement, which is now in possession of
the club, was made. Columbus was to be
paid $5j0 when they returned a Louisville
contract with Clausen's name attached. The
latter was to leceive $250 per month from
the Iscal club. The Pittsburgs wanted
Clausen, and the chinces are thnv went
above Louisville's offer. Dr. Stucky says
that the Pittsburgs kept the Lonisvilles out
of the services 01 Joe Kelly. Early in the
season the Louisvilles put in a claim for
Kelly's services, should the Western League
disband, putting up tho required JLOOO.
When the Westorn League went under the
Pittsburgs showed a. claim, which Manager
Bnckenbeiger allowed to have filed a month
or two before the Louisville management
sent In their own.
