Bow Our Sluccerj ToQchod Up Mr. Hiwke and Won Qnlto Kaally. Von der Ahe and his Browns were very easy marks for our sluggers yesterday, to say the least of it The locals had their playing clothes on again and they jumped and frisked about lise -winners from the start. Win ning ball has a very salutary effect on Pittsburgers generally and the cranks in particu lar. The first in ning settled all pretentions to a contest as the home players took a big lead at that early stage and after that the game was certainly too onesided to be anything like interesting. The bold start ot the home players also had a depressing effect on the visitors because they were con vinced that their show for victory was a poor one. TCnsr Some Money Wa Lost. The weather was excellent and the attend ance was about 1,200 people. Von der Ahe would certainly have attracted a mnch larger crowd had he brought Old Sport Galvin along with him and put him in to Ditch a came. Hundreds -were eaeer to see i Jimmy lace his old colleagues and in his not doing so Von der Ahe lost several hun dred dollars. Hawke, lately of the Beading State Lea-rue club, pitched for the visitors and it wouldn't be truthlul to say that he did welL But he didn't do as bad as the score would indicate. At times his support was very bad ana in the seventh Inning when six runs w ere made only one of them was earned. Hi delivery was hit hard and he started off so wildly in the first inning that he became quite unnerved. The crowd began to make Jol.es on his name and several times he was ery wild. Some of the fielding of the visitors was very Rood Indeed. Brodie played his posi tion In first-class style and so did Crooks. Hot the great dlfflcnlty that faced the visit or. as Eliret. Thoy couldn't tonch him. Glasscock and Crooks were the only two who could make a stagger against him. The tie! dm.; of the home team was first class and they played as if they were out to do business. Los of Hitting and Rons. Yon der Ahe has not a good team with him this trip, although they can put up a mucn better same thin they did yesterday. Doubtless they will display more vim to- diy, as "Der Boss" would read them a very den nn-trative lecture before they retired to bed last evening.

Bieibaner's sacrifice scored Shu-mrt. In the sixth inning Bierbauer made a triple to the loft fence and scoied on Far lell's sacrifice. In the next inning six sin gles and 11 double, the latter by Eliret. three stolen bases, a base on balls and three wild throws sent in six runs, only one being earned. The visitors' only rnn was made on Buck lev's single, a fn c-ba:rger by Glasscock and a sacrifice by Carroll.

Monmouth Park Eace Trace, Aug. 9. Champion day was favored with fair weather, a fast track! and 10,000 spectators, who enjoyed a full meed of pleasure and over mnoh excitement while the" racing progressed. The expected feature of the programme, the Junior Champion stakes, resulted in a hollow victory for Don Aloazo, the giant son of Long Taw and Bound Dance, he winning the $16,410 prize in the commonest of canters. In fact, it was no race at all, as far as first money was con cerned. Alonzo's immense stature enabled him to take two strides to his opponents' one. He covered the six furlongs in 1:12. The majority of the spectators had put their Wagers on Lady Violet, the 13 to 6 favorite and the winner, who was well hacked by his "stable followers at 7 to 2, did not receive the applause that his per formance merited. , The Champion stakes were then disposed of and one of the most exciting and hardest fought equine battles of the year was the result. The seven starters raced in a solid bunch, with Demutta cutting out the pace at a lively clip ior a mile and a furlong. They then lined themselves across the home stretch, in a beautiful bunch, 11 ith whips flying and spurs plunging into heaving sides in quest of every ounce of speed. In the final sixteenth Lamplighter iorged ahead, and Jockey Simms stopped whipping and began riding the brown great colt with his hands, finally winning by a length in 2:32, which is a quarter ot a second faster than the record Firenzi made several years ago. Banquet took second money from Loco hatchee. Montana, the equal 2 to 1 favorite with Lamplighter, straggled in fifth. He was ridden by Fitzpatrick, Snapper Garri son being tooweak to ride to-day. In the fifth race Julien pinned Sleipner against the rail in the last sixteenth and forced Sloan to pull up in order to save himself and Sleipner going over the fence. Julien, IS to 1, won by a head. Foul was claimed, but not allowed, and Sleipner's backers hoirled derisively at the stewards. Kingston, 10 to 4, won the first race in a gallop from his only opponent, Russell, 3 to 1, and Trouble, 11 to 5, whipped "out, took the second from the Carmen colt, 20 to 1, who beat Life Boat, the 7 to 5 favorite, a short head for the place. Nomad, 7 to 1, captured the last race in galloping style; Milt Young, 10 to 1, being second. First race, seven furlongs Kingston, 10 to i, won galloping uv a neaa; .Kusseii, 7 to 2, second.

Rochester, Aug. 9 Special.' The fifth meeting of the Grand Circuit began here to day under the most auspicious circum stances. The weather was all that could'bo desired, and no one has ever seen the Koch ester track in better condition. Records were lowered from the start, four of the five heat winners finishing with faster marks to their credit. For a first day the attendance vi as goo land the betting vtas lively and well sustained to the end. George W. Archer, President of the asso ciation, started tho field with E. B. Parsons, of this city, and Chas. H. Page, of Philadel- Shla, as associate Judges. T. O. King, of Hartford, Conn., and "Captain Jack" Daw son, of New York, were timers. In tbe 2 29 the contest was a fight between Jesse Hanson and Burt Sheldon, with So Long the daugerous horse In each heat, bnt again the blocky little gray ruined his chance. " After winning the fit st heat Jesse Hanson vent unsteady, Bnrt Sheldon putting in two heats, though the third should have gone to Hanson. The tal ent did not lose confidence in the Eastern gelding or old "Jack" Bowen, and he justi fied their confidence and landed one more. His first heat, in 2-.17K. lowers his previous record tlireo and a naif seconds and takes him out of the 2-21 olass. Sheldon chipped half a second off His Pittsburg mark in his first heat. Partly on form, but mainly from local sen timent the Bochester stallion Vitello, owned by C S. Upton, -was backed against the field at 5 to 4 for the 2.16 pace. He won the first heat in 2:14 half a second faster than his record, thus going Into the free-ior-all, and tbe young mare Yinette from California, who won a heat in 2:13 at Buffalo fi om Yl telle and chased him home in three fast heats, reversed the placings at the other town and won her first victory In thiee driving finishes. The Boston stallion, Lamont, was a 5 to 4 favorite' for the 2r29 trot. Mart Demarest brought tbe grandson of Belmont to the score in grand condition. Tho first heat was only an exercise jog. But in the next two heate Lamont had to show his speed, Nellie E, who won a heat at Buffalo 'in 2 2 forcing the stallion out in 2:20 and 2 90J4, con siderably below what he scored at Buffalo. Mayor S. T. Dickinson says that he will name the bay mare Belle Vara for the $10,000 stake at Hartford on tno24tU Inst.

Australia Promises to Take an Active Fart in the Exposition, BUT HAS SOME GRIEVANCES ALREADY New York, Aug, a -a-An Irish village is being arranged for exhibition at the World's Fair under the auspices of tbe Countess of Aberdeen and Mrs. Ernest Hart. The latter has the following to say in regard to It: . "We shall have seven cottages In which peasant girls and lads from Donegal and elsewhere will be seen at work, weaving, spinning, dyeing, sprigging, carving, eta The girls will" look very pretty in Conne mara red petticoats, fishwife sklits and blouses and scarlet cloaks. In one cottage a girl will be seen dyeing and spinning famous hand and hearth homespuns, the wool, the lichens and heather of her native bog outside. This operation is certain tb prove Immensely attractive to sightseers, as well as the carding, spinning and bobbin filling, which will be shown here. "Between this and the next cottage there will be a model dairy in which dairy maids will bo at work, churning and bnttormak ing. 1 can assure our American cousins they will have a chance of tasting some good but ter, as we shall send over some of the world famed Kerry cows, which will be stabled at the rear. In another cottage which Is under the especial care of the Irish Industries' Association, every description of Irish lace will be shown. Sprigging and velnlng, which are employed la the production of the beau tiful hemstitched handkerchiefs of Belfast, will be shown." Italy's Queen to Exhibit Lacea. The Countess Brazza, writing to Mrs, Potter Palmer from Venice, touoblng tbe hoped-for exhibit at the World's Fair of tbe historical collection of laces, the property of the Queen of Italy, makes several interest in;; statements. The Countess says the Queen intends to send tbe crown laces, "a thing never ,done by any sovereign of this or any other country. The history of lace begins LOOO years before Christ, with photog raphs of objects found in the Egyptian tombs." Canada has determined to send an Indian exhibit to the World's Fair. Sir George Dibbs. the Premier of New South Wales, arrived here on the Umbria to day and he feels bitter toward the manage ment of the Woild's Fair. Accoiding to him, the exhibit of New South Wales, which is almost the only English colony that Intends to exhibit, promises to be a failure, and this is what he says: "New South Wales was al most the onlv colony that Intended to ex hibit. Our exhibition will be about one fourth of whicli it would have been if tbe Chicago managers had dealt with us as we bad been promised. They sen tan agent out, by what authority I do not know, who promised everything we might desire in the way of space and accommodations. After we had committed ourselves and spent abont $100,000, they told us that tbe agent was acting without authority and that we could uot have space at all adequate to our wants. The result will be that it will prac tically rum our exhibit. A Competitor ot America In Baw Material. "Our exhibit will be largely in raw .ma terials. The trouble is that they are like American raw materials, and will make no particular showing separately. We wanted to make our exhibit on bloo. To classify It will only be to weaken it. We wanted a col lective exhibit, bnt the Fair arrangements do not allow of focusing, and without that I cannot see what advantage there is In the colony's exhibiting at all. If our woods have to be. in one place, our gold In another, our silver and wool scattered about among vari ous buildings, the advantage to us of such a display becomes very doubtful. "Iain sure that if we had learned at first what we have since learned, we would not have exhibited at all. The trouble is we. have now gone too far to go out now. As It is, our exhibit will be a lullure to a largo ex tent. I do not think the colony will ex hibit again. My vote and Influence shall always be against it, at least, "Or course, we do not expect to rival America and other older countries. As 1 have said, our exhibit would have been chiefly in raw materials, but it wonld have had an element of novelty that would have made it lmerestlng even to Americans, As It is, it will be a miserable failure. "And vou mav nut It down, the feelimr is vety bitter throughout England. They have an idea that the Fair is not being managed with the usual Intelligence that Americans bring to bear on such big enterprises. Wool Is Australia's Strong Point. ' "Our most interesting exhibit will prob ably be in wool, especially merino wools. There bas been a great deal of talk as to whether they should be admitted duty free. Well, we do hot care whether they are or not. You have got to have our fine class wools to mix with your coarse wools. It makes no difference whether you get them direct or go to .London ror them, it is a wonder to me that the intelligence of the people of America can't see that. "Heretofore Americans have had It all their own way in our markets, but we are gomsto take a leaf out of your book. We will manufacture our own wooden nutmegs licieafter. We have discovered that when a country reaches a certain size it must man utacture.'giow and produce for Itself. "Heave to-night for Montreal, then go to Ottawa. Tho Canadian Government Is mak ing an effoit for a more extended trade be tween Canada and tho colonies, and 1 am goins there to see what they have to say about It." When asked whether he would visit Chi cago Sir George announced very emphatic ally that he would not. At the conolusionf of his mission in Canada Sir George leaves for Sydney, sailing from San Francisco on the 18th iustant. - PBIVACY OF GBEAT CITIES. The Best Place In Wliloh to Live Isolated Is In a Basy Town. Pearson's Weekly. Nowhere, save in the wilderness beyond the frontiers of civilization, can such per fect privacy be enjoyed as in the large city. The denizens of a busy metropolis have enough to do in attending to their own affairs. They have no time to bestow on the doings of (heir neighbors, and take no Interest in them. The curiosity of villages and small towns is insatiable. Espionage is the main emj ployment of at least one-third of their in habitants. On the other hand, if a stranger takes up his abode among them, he becomes a center of observation a target of con jecture a standing topic of conversation. His antecedents are inquired into, his character is canvassed, his manner of life is carefully noted, his dress, features, fortune, if he has one, want of it it he has not, are all made the subject of earnest discussion. But in a bustling city you can settle down anywhere without attracting the slightest attention. You care ior nobody, and nobody cares lor you, as the song says. The iamily in the adjoining house does not recognize you when it sees you, and if you do not publish your name on a door plate, and your servants are not on visiting terms with the kitchen circle next door, you may remain for a twelvemonth as utterly unknown to the beings whose laughter you can hear through the party wall, as it you dwelt in Central Africa. People talk of 'seeking retirement in the country. The idea is ridiculous. If you want to be Isolated from the world, live quietly in the midst of a densely populated and busy district The Cramps Have No Inmin Contracts. Philadelphia, Aug. 9.

WILLIAM PITTS LASTW0fiDS, How a. Historical Tradition Is Sadly Blasted by Walter. " Youth's Companion. 1 The last words of William Pitt are re ported to have been, "O my country I I love my country!" But Lord Boseberry, in his recent memoir of "the" great Commoner," quotes an anecdote which Mr. Disraeli used to tell that proves that one man at least had a doubt about the authenticity of the exclamation. When Mr. Disraeli entered Parliament, -he used often to dine at tbe House of Com mons, where he was generally served by a grim old waiter who was supposed to pos sess a secret treasure of political tradition. The young member sought to win bis Con fidence. One day the venerable domestic relented. "Yon hear many lies told as history, sir," he said, "do you know what Mr. Pitt's last words were?" "Of course," said Mr. Disraeli, "they are well known: "O my country! how I love my country!" "Nonsense," said the old, man. 'I'll tell you how it was. Late one night I was called out of bed by a messenger in a post chaise, shooting to me ontside of the window. ' ' " 'What is it?' I said. " 'You're to get up and dress, and bring some of your meat pies down to Mr. Pitt at Putney.' "So I went; and as we drove along he told methat Mr. Pitt had not been able to take any food, but he bad suddenly said, 'I think I could eat one of Bellamy's mutton pies.' And so I was sept for post-haste, when we arrived Mr. Pitt was dead. Them was his last words: 'I thick I could eat one of Bellamy's meat pies.' " A BOOM WITH A HIST0BT. Many Notables Spent Their Nights In a Little Ohio Tavern. In a village tavern at Caldwell, O., there isjn room of rare historic interest. It is the best room in the house, and there the greatest men in the nation, year after year since the war, have rested and refreshed their weary bodies after speaking. The first to occupy the room was' General Sherman, and Generals Poe, Bacon and Tonstelott, of his staff, in 1874, during the great reunion which was the first of all and model ot all since held everywhere. Next came General Cocknell, then and at present United States Senator from Missouri, in 1875, on a similar occasion. The great cavalry leader, General Kilpat rick, gave it additional glory bv reposing within its sacred precincts in 1876. Here also at other times slumbered the singing chaplain, McCabe, and Boston Corbett, who killed Booth, Corporal Tanner and .the Drummer of Chicamauga. Later, in 1879, the peerless Garfield closed his eyes and slumbered after making three speeches in this county in one day. In 1881 came Governor Foster to the same old hostelry, and he was assigned, of course, to "the best room in the house," the "Sher man room," as it-is called. In 1882 John Sherman easily found repose within its his torio walla. And, the fieryaForaker calmed himself to rest in tbe same place in 1884, and again in 1888. , Boutelle, of Maine, made his pilgrimage hither in 1888, and Alger uncovered his head as he entered it to repose for the night in 1890. The last distinguished man to oc cupy it was General Green B. Baum, Com missioner of Pensions, July 22 of the pres ent year, during the last reunion. A FBEAK OF L1GHTHING. The Globe of Fire as Shining, Tet Did Not Emit Any Heat, Chambers' Journal. A very singular story Is told concerning the vagaries of one mass of globe lightning. A tailor in the-Bue St. Jaquei, in the neighborhood of the Tol de Grace, was get ting his dinner one day dnring a thunder storm, when he heard a loud clap, and soon the chimney-board fell down, and a globe of fire as big as a child's head came ont quietly and moved slowly about the room at a small height above the floor. , The spectator in conversation 'afterward with M. Babbinet, of the Academic des Sciences, said it looked like a good-sized kitten rolled up into a ball and moving without showing its paws. It was bright and shining,yet he felt no sensation of heat. The globe came near his feet; but by mov ing them gently aside he avoided the con tact After trying several excursions in different directions, it rose vertically to the height of his head which he threw back, to prevent it touching him steered toward a- hole in the chimnev above the mantel-piece, and made its way into the flue. Shortly afterward "when" he sup posed it bad had time to reach the top," the tauor said there was a oreadtul explosion, which destroyed the upper part of the chimney, and threw the fragments on to the roofs of some adjoining.buildings which, they broke through.
