Good Things Said About Stencil Two Games at Exposition Park To-Day. Another new player has been added to the list of our sluggers and he will be here in two or three dare, from now. Manager Buck enberger yesterday afternoon closed a deal with Jake Stencil, of the Portland clnb, of the North west Pacific League. Stencil has been en gaged as a general utility man, as he can catch and play the infield cr outfield positions. He is also recommended as a good batter. La6t year he led the League he is in now in batting, and he also heads the list so tar this year. Something like $100 has been paid lor him. He is a young and well-built man and a very speedy "runner. Some Excellent Recommendations. Last evening, speaking of Stencil, Man ager Buckenberger said: "We have made the most careful inquiries abont the player, and all the authorities we know who know him have advised us to secure him. Of course, he may not be as pood as expected; we have that risk to run, but I assure you he comes here hichly recommended. "We are sadly in need of a general utility man who can fill up a breach when anybody gets hurt or is sick. "Without such a player to inn Dace on our team get all oroKen up in a day. "We have a good team at present, and we" want to keep them good if we can." Bain stopped yesterday's game at Exposi tion Park before the first half of the first inning was finished. Piay started brilli antly. Terry and Haddock were the pitch ers, and the home team went to the field first. Terry gave "Ward his base on balls, and then Tommy Corcoran knocked a grounder, and a hot one, to Shugart, who threw "Ward out at second, and Bierbaner, by very quick work, threw Corcoran out at first. It Wbi a Brilliant Play. The play was certainlv a great one. Broutbers went to bat, and while he was there the game was called, as the rain was falling briskly. It did not fair up within the 39 minutes and the game was postponed. Two games will be played this afternoon for one price of admission, and the contests promise to be great ones. In the estima tion of President Byrnes four of the greatest pitchers in the League will be engaged in the two games. During a conversation Jast evening the Brooklyn President said: "We baseball people in Brooklyn still look upon Terry aa our own. He was with us for ten rears, and the last two years we had him we hardly ever requested him to put on a uni form. He is a gentlemen, and once more he is a great pitcher. Although I would like to see our team beat him, I assureyou that I will be pleased for his sake if he is victorious. Haddock is to be pitted against him, and let me say that Haddock is a fine pitcher. If all goes well the two of them, if well supported, will make the first game a fine one. Two More Good Fltrhers. "In the second game Stein and Baldwin will be the pitchers, and there are no better in the country than these two. Stein has been our best pitcher lately, and as Bald win is now in good condition again, the pair ought to make matters extremely exciting. Again, I say that tour of the best pitchers in the country will contend against each other to-dav." Speaking of baseball affairs in general, Mr. Byrnes said he was very well satisfied with the way things have been going. "There will be no big changes made lor next season," he said. "Capitalists are not getting the returns they must have on account of big salaries, but there will be a fair and reasonable effort made to remedv that at the proper time. Players have not only been getting all the receipts of late, but also much of the magnates' money, and that kind of thing cannot continue, you know. "We are having great ball playing nowadays, and I think it will be better next year." Mr. Byrnes, and also Manager "Ward, are in strong hopes of their team winning the pennant during this half of the season. They have reason to be hopeful, for they have, indeed, a very strong team, certainly one of the strongest ever seen in Pittsburg. The first game to-day will start at 2 o'clock and the second at 4 o'clock P. m. Cleveland, 4 Philadelphia, 3. Cleveland, Aug. 23. The game was closely contested and exciting, the Cleveland clnb winning in the eleventh inning with an earned run. Attendance 1,700. Soore: CLEVELAND R H F A El ran. a. n b r a z Clll!!. I....

By mutual con sent two of tlio games of the present St. Louis-Boston series were transferred to this city through the efforts of President Spcas, of the Kansas City Baseball Association, for the entertainment of the visiting Knights of Pythias. One of the games scheduled for yesterday was postponed on account of rain and both frames were played to-dav. Kid Nichols nnd Shortstop Lonjr, of the Boston team, who made their debut on the diamond in Kansas City uniforms, were clvon gener ous ovations when they appeared on the Hold to-day, and other favorites received great applause. The morning game was dull and uninteresting. Nichols pitched an al most perfect game, the Browns getting only four scattering hits. The afternoon came was a lively one, be ing close and exciting. St. Louis tied the score in the eighth inning? and won in the ninth, all by Staley's wildness. Attendance at the TnorniriT game was 8,418, and at the afternoon came 4,827. The weather was per fect.

Holllday Got Too Many Hits Off the Wash ington Pitcher's Delivery. Cincinnati, Ang 23. Special. "What do yon think of a fielder who would put an other out of the business?" asked Jim Dur yea this morning. "That is what Hollidav did for me, as his torriflc bitting cot me my head. I drew my release from Washing ton to-day." The Sennfors play two crimes to-morrow, putting Killen and Meekln against Dwyer and Sullivan. Chamberlain may be sus pended until lie Is in condition to play ball. It is not beyond tho possibilities that Dur yea may be signed by Comiskey, if Itetger prove a failure. Tho latter is slow in re sponding to order to report. Chicago Signs Harry Miller. Chicago, Aui. 23. Special. Chicago to day signed Harry Miller, the left-handed pitcher who made snch a creditable show ing asainst the Brooklyns Saturday. Miller started In the season with the Peorias, nnd was with the Ishpemlngs until a few days ago. Anson thinks he has a corker. Fred Boat, who was secured from the disbanded Minneapolis club, wns released. He has only played in a few frame and he was showing badly. Miller will likely pitch against Now York to-morrow.

BAD FOR THE TALENT. IT. F. Dwyer and Lorillard Lose Heavily at Monmouth Park. FAY0RITES BADLY BEATEN. Interesting Trotting Kaces on the Eastern and Western Tracks. CONTESTS AMONG TENNIS EXPERTS Monmouth Eace Track, Aug. 2a The usual programme of six races, including two rich events, the private sweepstakes and the Monmouth handicap, were decided this afternoon over a fast track, nnder clouded skies and before 5,000 spectators. Air Shaft, first choice at 6 to 2, won the first race, the only winning favorite during the afternoon, the remaining five races go ing to long shots. Of the four starters for the sweepstakes of $1,000, Spartan, Taral up, ruled a consistent favorite throughout. He was beaten, however, by Minnehaha, the 'extreme outsider at 8 to 1. Lamp lighter, Banqnet and Beckon were the only starters for the Monmouth handicap. They rati at first, second and third choice at 7 to 5, 8 to 6 and 3 to 1. Beckon beat the flag and was never headed, winning easily by two lengths. Besides being a greatly.im proved mare, she was favored by the handi capper. The plungers again rallied to and bet heavily on the Moyene gelding to beat the Laura Gould colt tor the fourth raoe. The gelding looked all over a winner up to the last sixteenth post, where the Laura Gould colt came up with a great rattle, and, in a desperate finish, won by a head. Pick nicker, 2 to 1, favorite for the free handi cap, was defeated in the same manner by the 6 to 1 chance Leonawell, and as a cli max to the wholesale slaughter of first choices, Osric, the 8 to 1, took the last race from Nomad, 1 to 4, by a length and a half. It was a bad day for the plungers, especi ally M. P. Dwyer and Pierre Lorillard, who lost thousands of dollars.

All three of the races were won by favorites. C. J. Hamlin captured two or them. His Nightingale won the 2:19 trotting race and bis Robert J won the free-ror-all pace. The third race, the 2:25 tiot, was won by Darling ton, after that horse bad been knocked out of the first heat byan accident. Darlington broke at the first turn in the first heat. Guy Miller, the driver, tried to set out of the way of Jessie Sheridan, but in some way they got together and Jessie's foot struck into the wheel of Darlington's snlky. Tho wheel was wrenched off and the horse was thrown down. Vandenburg, who was a riving Jessie Sheridan, had to bring her to a standstill. Only Rose Filkins and Shipman finished the beat. Clay Forest was taken from the track before the heat was started on account or his bad behavior in Saratoga. As the accident seemed due to no one's care lessness or bad intent both horses were per mitted by the judges to start In the next beat.

SOME EATS OF LIGHT For Lizzie Borden in the Postpone ment of Her First Hearing. THE CASE MAI BE DISMISSED, Bnt the State's Attorneys Stick: to It They Hare a Chance - TO PEOTE THAT THE GIEL IS GUILTI rSPECIAL TZLZGBAM TO THE DISPATCn.1 Fall Biver, Mass., Aug. 23. Despite the protestations of Marshal Hilliard, the only representative of the prosecution in town to-night, that the adjournment asked for yesterday by District Attoruey KnoVltdn is not an evidence of weakness on the part of the Commonwealth, the gen eral belief among the lawyers and the masses of people here is that the time has come when the authorities must acknow ledge that they have acted rashly and with out sufficient cause. Through the whole in vestigation made by the police and the District Attorney there has been a manifest attempt to keep the public in ignorance of the facts in the possession of the police. And now, at the last minute, the 'prose cution makes it known that all the evi dence will be brought out at the hearing, and the public can judge for themselves. But The Dispatch reporter was told late to-night, by one of the prosecution other than Marshal Hilliard, that the postpone ment until Thursday was desired by both sides, in order to fully prepare the case. The hearing, said The Dispatch's inform ant, will partake of the nature of a trial by jury in regard to all the facts being brought out. Protests of the Proseontlon. The prosecution emphatically states that it has no fear of the result and asserts that Lawyer Jennings was fully as desirous as it to nave tne examination postponed. Those who insist that the State has no case atrainst Lizzie Borden, and that it has at last real ized that it has been wrong from the start, say that the clearest evidence of weakness in the case against the accused is the fact that the prosecution considers it absolutely necessary to present the evidence of the medical experts in order to have the pris oner held for trial They say that had the case of the Commonwealth been strong enough without the expert testimony the postponement would not have been asked for; and further they allege that the repre sentations of the experts are not satisfactory to the District Attorney. Other evidence, they say, aside from the expert testimony, has not proven what it was expected to be. They point out that the District Attoraev has been slow and re luctant from the beginning to take any ac tion. These critics say that the prosecution sees that it is mistaken and is now endeav oring to smooth its fall in the eyes of the public by showing its hand and saying that the suspicious circumstances justified the arrest of Lizzie Borden. The State as Stubborn aa Ever. But Attorney Knowlton, who tells the truth when he tells anything, meets all. this with the assurance that the case of the State Is as strong as it ever was, and that he asked lor a postponement in order to give the defense plenty ot time as well as to complete the preparation of his own side of the case. The warmest friends of Lizzie Borden ad mit that the State need present only enough evidence to convince Judge Blaidsell that he should hold the prisoner to await the ac tion of the grand jury. BuUthe District Attorney intends to make known all the evidence in his possession, so that if Lizzie Borden is held for trial her counsel will know just what they must fight. j.ub Ausirici attorney is ueierminea to give the accused woman every chance. He asked for the postponement of the hearing solely to enable him to prepare all his evi dence and present it Those who think the State is weakening are wrouir. The Dis patch reporter was assured to-night that the case ot the State is stronger than ever before, and that the prosecutors believe the prisoner will be held for trial. There are many, however, who say that even if the expert testimony is what the State expects there is not then enough evidence to war rant the binding over of Lizzie Borden. The Lawyers In Fall Accord. There are some who predict openly that the case will never go to trial. They sav that if Judge Blaisdell, bowing to the will of District Attorney Knowlton, holds the prisoner for trial, the District Attorney will enter a nolle pros. Others say,, that on Thursday the Government will move the discharge of the prisoner. This is denied by the prosecution, yet it has been remarked that Lawyer Jennings and the . Slate authorities seem to un derstand each other very well. The police, however, realize that with the abandonment of the case against Lizzie Borden the mystery of the murder will remain unsolved and all hopes of clear ing it up will be more remote than ever be fore. To the police it is Lizzie Borden or no one, and, as was remarked to-night, "the police will never allow it to be no one." Lawyer Jennings will make no further fight against Judge Blaisdell presiding at the examination. He contradicts the state ments published in other papers, but Mr. Jennings assured The DrsPAicn reporter that while he still maintained that Judge Blaisdell was probably disqualified from presiding at the hearing, yet be realized that it was hopeless and ludicrous. FE0GS THAT EAT CHICKEN. Adventures of the Georgians With the Croakers of the Cblckamauga. Savannah Morning News. People living on the line of the Chica mauga river are somewhat excited over a number of strange and enormous frogs that infest the neighborhood. These frogs lor they greatly resemble frogs were brought to this country from the Mississippi swamp in AD. 1866, and pnt in the Chickamanga river near this place. They are said to be of enormous size when grown. These being very small when brought are just now be ginning to show what they can do. They are doing some mischief. now.

"When driven away by high tide and starved for a few davs thev will attack a person. They are said to be good food for man, but have never been tried yet, as they are very bard to capture. The one that assed through wonld have been captured, ut the man had to go to the house tor his gun, and the frog made one leap-and was out of a fair shot after devouring a number of chickens.

A very smart gown the English woman affects now at out-of-door functions is the tailor gown of linen, writes an occasional correspondent of Tun Dispatch from Lon don, It is made either ot gray linen, called brown Holland in the shops, or of white duck, or a fine white linen that launders beautifully. The skirt is the approved bell skirt, made precisely like a serge skirt, with deep stitched hem and in par ticularly -tihic costumes has the side pockets like trousers pockets. The coat is made up unlined, like the regular cloth coats worn with outing costumes, and has the buttonhole in the lapel like the regula tion" cloth coats. "With such a linen coat and skirt, a pint or blue or red or some one of the giddy shirts now in fashion, with still bosom, collar and cuffs, is worn, and is belted in with either silver or leather. ' The most correct thing in fonr-in-hand ties is to have it the same shade as the coat and skirt, and to have its ends pinned down to the bosom with a gold safety pin. A woman turned ont in a toilet like this, a sailor hat in which the band combines the color of skirt and gown, and flat-heeled canvas shoes, heavy gloves with broad stiiching on the back, and a tightly rolled parasol with a handle like a club, is voted "verjrsmart" indeed. The zouave jackets form part of the pret tiest afternoon gowns now turned out. A particularly pretty one appeared at Good wood, and accordion plaiting is coming ia again. The gown was of that mossy shade ot green which seems equally becoming to blonde and brunette. The skirt was per fectly plain, of green velvet, with corded seams, the cording ot silvery silk, which was also intertwined with a twist of velvet round the foot; a short train of deep rose chiffon, accordion filaitcd, was let-in at the waist and spread ike a fan toward the foot. The effect was that of a velvet apron over an accordion plaited skirt. The bodice was of the rose colored chiffon, also accordion-plaited, and was made precisely like the old-fashioned sailor waist, falling full around over a siver filagree belt. The sleeves were of the accordion-plaited chiffon from shoulder to elbow, and shaped like a melon, and from the elbow to wrist there were tight cuffs of green velvet, the edge corded with the silver and closely buttoned with silver buttons. Then came the tiny zouave jacket of green velvet, em broidered round the edge with silver. The two shades were combined in the chiflon parasol. A moderately large hat of fine green chip was trimmed with tips in the two shades and a bow of silver ribbon, the whole costume being charmingly pictur esque. How Old the Horse Is. A Tennessee inventor has patented a gauge for determining the age of horses.
