1 GERMAN REPUBLICAN ADDRESS OUT
tSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE OIBPATCn.J
New York, Aug. 23. Republicans who
nave been saying the party's National
Committee was not doing work enough for
Ihe party and its candidates should have
seen Chairman Thomas Henry Carter to
day. Six days in the week is not enough
for air. Carter. He bad nearly all of the
stenographers and typewriters from head
quarters in his rooms at the Plaza Hotel
to-day, and kept them as busy as bees the
better part of the afternoon. He
also received visitors who called to talk
politics, among whom "Was Congressman
John C. Houck, ot Tennessee. The na
tional committees ot both parties have had
leading politicians from that State in this
city for several days, and it is understood
that they desire to know just what effect
the miners' troubles and the independent
candidacy of Governor Buchanan may have
on the result in Tennessee.
3Ir. Houck, who spent a long time with
Mr. Carter to-day, represents the Second or
Knoxvllle district in Congress, a district
which includes the counties where the
miners fought their recent battles with the
militia.
Why Davenport la So Qcler.
The fact is noted that John I. Davenport
Chief Supervisor of Elections, is keeping
quiet and contenting himself with an occa
sional fling at the local Republican organi
zation. Remarking on it to-day, a gentle
man connected with Republican headquar
ters said suggestively: "The President
hasn't published his letter of acceptance
yet. When that is done it may be seen
why Davenport is keeping in the back
ground." DarenpoTt is the confessed author of the
elections or "force" bill.
The delay in the publication of the
President's letter of acceptance is being com
mented on. It was understood that it was
'to be given to the public nearly two weeks
ago. It has been written, but it was said
to-day by one of Chairman Carter's aids
that "it would not be published for some
time to come. "Whitelaw Held, it was
said, has been advised of its contents, and
his own letter, following the same lines,
will be published soon after that of the
President's.
A BIc Victory in Mnlne Predicted.
Ex-Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor,
of Ohio, who has been in Maine assisting
the Republicans with his voice in their
State campaign, was at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel to-dar. He predicted a big victory
in the Pine Tree Sttte for his party. He
said there is no doubt that the Republican
State ticket will have a plurality ot 12,000,
and it may be much larger.
United States Senator "Watson C Squire,
of Washincton, who is in the city on a
'ntViiAUit, took occasion to-day to reply to
the statements made by the" Democratic
National Committeeman from his State,
Hugh C. "Wallace, regardins the possibility
of the Democracy's carrying Washincton.
Th" Senator said it is true that there is
much jealousy between the cities of Seattle
And Tacomj, but that the jealousy is of a
business character, and has been snared as
I much by Democrats as by Republicans.
He thinks the Democratic State Conven
tion's declaration against the proposed canal
to Lake AVashincton, back ot Seattle, will
cause disaffection in the party.
JOLLYING THE GERMANS.
ii Address to the Republicans of Illi
nois Catl on Them to Stand Together
unit Not S. Diverted From the Main
IS.U by Any Qlde-hows.
Chicago, Aug. 28. The German-American
Republicans of Illinois have issued an
address to the German-American voters of
Illinois, which will be circulated in pamph
let form throughout the State. It is signed
by a large number of well-known German
American citizens, including George
Schneider, William Vocke, Hermann
Schroeder, Charles Burmeister, Jacob
Gross, Hermann Felsenthal, Franz Amberg,
G Hermann Plautz, William Loeb, Henry
G Bartels. Henry G Zenne and others. It
is in part as follows:
O'l the eve of the national election the
undersigned Republicans of German birth
deem it their duty as citizens to enter a pub
lic protest againt the attempts of the Dem
ocratic pnity to capture the German vote in
tliN State by the misrepreoentiition of facts.
It in evident that the Democrats are mnk
ing a desperate effort to obcure qunions of
srae national imponance, involving the
most vital interests of the country, by try
ins to raise tl e school law. which both
Tiartlot are agreed shall lie abolished, to a
controversy of overwhelming political im
portance. In this aefdress we cannot under
take to enter upon a lull discussion or the
origin of the school law and the "isub-equent
Ftiuggles for its repeal. We shall tako occa
sion hereafter to treat this subject more
fully, and will confine ourselves now to the
brief statement that both parties stand
pledged through their platforms to secure a
repeal or the law, and that among the Ke
1 publican statesmen of Illinois, Governor
Fifer was the first who advocated the repeal.
An Attempt to Shift Horses.
If, in tho face of these facts, the German
Americans are called upon to oppose the
Republican party on account of the school
lnw, we can only see in this an attempt on
the part of the Democratic party to divert
tho attention of the voters from the great
national issues. By declaring in favor or
free trade, the Democracy has placed itseir
recklessly in opposition to the most vital In
tel ests of the people, assuming, as it does.
an attitude of open hostility to the indus
tries of the cojntry.
Not less dangerous is the attitude of the
Democratic party with reference to the
financial questions or the campaign. The
Democratic party has not only In a great
easure supported in Congress the free sil
ver coinage swindle, but has also, in its
national platform, declared Itself In favor
oi abolishing the 10 per cent tax upon State
bank notes, and thus, in blind disregard of
the best intereses oi all classes of our people
without distinction of party, proposes to
pave the way lor the reissue 6f the wildcat
notes which, before the rerorm of the cur
leiic) instituted by tbe Republicans over 30
Jchis ao, were dally cheating the people
out of thousands o' dollars.
The tact Is. that for more tnan 30 years it
hns been tho destiny of the Democratic
party to place the seal or condemnation
upon everything which the progressive
spirttof the ago demanded and which the
Kopubllcan party has accomplished. In the
interest ot tbe Southern slaveholders the
Democratic party opposed the free-soil
movement and the beneficent homestead
law s; it denounced as unconstitutional the
introduction or a monetary system estab
lished upon the firm basis of our national
credit; it hurled its anathomas against our
protective tat iff system and stigmatized it
as a fraud upon the people.
Alwiy. ii Party r followers.
History shows that tho Democratic narty,
unable in tho march of progress to keep
abreast with this great people, has always
limped behind as a Jealous and hobbling
camp follower. This became evident, also,
when the matter of the World's Fair appro
priation was before Congress. But for the
Rerrablican Representatives, who supported
the measuro to a man, not a dollar wonld
have been appropriated, and onr great
national undertaking would have become
an object of ridicule to the whole world.
We look upon onr history during the last
80 years, -and don't find In the Democratlo
party a single patrlotlo or heart-refreshing
leature. Its oonduct In tbe present, its re
cent declaration against protection and a
sound financial policy prove anew that,
like the Bonrbons of France, it has learned
nothing and has forgotten nothing. On the
other band, when we look upon the Ho pub
lican party and "Its history we find in it the
history of our country for the last genera
tion. All the noble achievements of our
people have spruntr from tbe progressive
spit it with which that party is imbued. It
has been the Republican party, and it is the
Republican to-day, which, in the first place,
provides tor America and looks after onr
wellare and the welfare or our children,
and, in the next place, inquires after the
nations of Europe.
Achievements ef This Administration.
The achievements of the Republican party
are eulogized at length. The foreign policy
of the present administration is reviewed
and the address then says:
Bnt the greatest triumphs of the present
Republican administration have been
achieved in economic results. Under Har
rison, France, Germany, Austria, Italy,
Spain and other countries have removed
their prohibitory measures against the Im
portation of American pork; tolls upon
cereals were reduced in France and Ger
many; and with other powers reciprocity
treaties were entered into, whereby our
commerce and Industries liavo received a
new impetus, and from which all classes
will gather rich benefits. Every patriotic
citizen will therefore unite with us in the
hearty wish: "Let well enough alone."
Our country has a grand tuture before it.
It is to-day the mightiest nation on earth.
To maintain this position, free scope must
be given to its further development, and
knowing, as we do, that tbe Democratic
party has at all times clogged the wheel of
prorss history bears us out and believ
ing, as we do, that, true to its innate nature,
it n ill ace in the future as it did in the past,
we will not follow its allurements, but re
main trne to the party of the Union, the
party of progress aud national honor.
AKOTHEE TICKET NOMINATED.
Wins and Slntcliett to Lead the Social Labor
Party to Slaughter.

gates from New York, Pennsylvania, Mass
achusetts, New Jersev, and Connecticut,

nas elected Secretary.
It was unanimously resolved io nominate
a Presidental ticket, and the lollowing
candidates were put up: President, Simon
"Wing, of Boston; Vice President, Charles

RELI6I0N IN ECONOMY.
The Subject of a Sunday Address by Secre
tary Charles Foster at Asbury Tark
Matters as Important as Flnanoss Under
Control of Bis Depirtrnent,
Asbury Park, Aug. 28. ."yeriat
Four thousand people assembled in the
Asbury Park Auditorium at the national
service this afternoon to hear Secretary
of the Treasury Foster and General Bussey,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior. White
law Reid w as expected to speak, but he tel
egraphed his regrets. Tho service was
opened with praver by Eev. Dr. McCosh,
ex-president ot Princeton University.
The subject of Secretary Foster's address
was announced as "Religion in'Economy."
In the course of his talk he said: "It is
popularly supposed that the Treasury De
partment looks alter only tne nuances ot
the country, but as a matter of fact it looks
after many other important matters. One
of-the most difficult duties of the depart
ment is the proper administration of the
emigration laws. It is hard to determine
absolutely whether a man is brought here
under coutract or is likely to become a pub
lic charge. A young man w ithout a cent in
his pocket, but strong of heart aud limb,
is often less likely to become a
pauper than the weakly man, with
his pockets full of mouev. One of the
most important duties of the Treasury De-
Lpartment at this time is to care ior marine
hospitals at all ports of entry to this coun
try. My only regret is that the general
government does not have more confplete
control of all these avenues for the intro
duction to the country of cholera and other
infectious diseases. The local cintrol of
these quarantine stations is a relic of the
Stales' rights idea. However, we have un
dertaken vigorous measures ior the exclu
sion of foreign rags and passengers from in
fected ports, and the full power and in
telligence of the treasury service will be ex
erted for the safety of tfiecountry."
A reference to Mr. Blaine's name was
loudly applauded. General Bussey fol
lowed with a short address. He said that
all opposition to law, whether by one man
or by an organized body of men, must be
crushed just as surely and as promptly as
was the Rebellion of the Southern States.
He was heartily applauded when he advo
cated the most radical measures of treating
the Anarchists of the country.

WORSE THAU ANT WAE
Is the Condition of Threatened Dis
ease to the United States.
GOOD ADVICE FEOM A PHYSICIAN.
He Wonld Adopt the Most Radical Measures
of Prevention
IF HE ITAD THE NECESSARY AUTHORITY
trROM A STAfT CORRESPONDENT.!
"Washington, Aug. 28. "I do not want
to be known as an alarmist, a calamity
howler, or a prophet of evil in any way,
but I think it the duty of every man who
has made a study of the things that are
necessary to health, and the possibilities ot
the introduction of disease from one place
into another, to do what he can to arouse
any and all communities to the danger that
threatens, and excite the people who always
take the lead in such extremities to prompt
and decisive action."
The gentleman who began in this strain
to Thk Dispatch correspondent to-day, is
one oi the most distinguished physicians in
the country, one who has held high position
as a sanitary adviser of the Government
and who has spent seasons abroad when the
cholera and yellow fever were epidemic, in
tbe very midst of the plague. -
"There is no occult or complex question
involved in the means of prevention,"
continued the great doctor." The grand
preventives are cleanliness, fresh air,
plenty of breathing space, simple aud cool
ing food, abstemious habits to both food
and drink, avoidance ot overcrowding in
our great cities, and an impassable barrier
against the entrance to the country, or to.
other communities if it once gain a foot
hold in any locality, of tbe germs of the
disejise.
Contaglon May Come Without Contact.
"It may be that contagion would develop
without contact, on account of the extraor
dinary and sinister conditions of the mag
netic world, or in other words, the peculiar
atmospheric composition of the time,but
the great reservoir ior the generation of
diseases of all kinds, at all times, especially
of contagious or febrile diseases, is filth,
impure air, decaying vegetation, bad sew
erage, a lailure to keep clean the drain
pipes from the habitations of human beings,
and especially those habitatipns that are
crowded with tenants till there is not an
inch to spare for one more.
"We say that a certain city is a clean
city. There is no such thing as a clean city.
Some are cleaner than others, bnt at best
the cleaning of a city it a pretense and
sham, a thing of jobbery and swindling for
a contractor, who is usually a political
favorite, and who cares only to make, his
pile out of the public. At most a few of
these leading business and society localities
are objects ot the solicitude of the author
ities ot a city. The places upon which
disease is most likely to pounce down and
commit tbe direst ravages are scarcely ever
touched. r
Only Superficial Cleaning Cnstomany.
"We in Washington think that if Penn
sylvania avenue and a few other streets are
cleaned that all is clean and we have the
cleanest city in the world. -Paris cleans
her grand boulevaras and her fashionable
quarters, and the Faubourgs are left in
filth. The Belleville quarter, where di
sease revels, and whence springs the disor
derly class, with all its abnormal character
istic's, is a hades of crowded tenements, bad
food, bad drinks, evil smells. So it is in Lon
don, in the Soho in the Shoreditch, in all
the Whitechapel district, dirt, disease and
crime go hand in hand.
"So it is in all of our cities, aud this so
called beautiful city of Washington is no
exception. Uncollected garbage lies every
where, reeking and evaporating in the heat
nnder the windSws oi sleeping rooms. The
sewerage system is bad at best, and its
present unrepaired condition is a standing
threat that ii a contagion gets a foothold it
will play lear.ul havoc before it can be
checked. Why, at night, when the air is
humid and rare, one is almost suffocated bv
the noxious gases that pour from the sewer
drops. The stench pervades every part of
the city. The astonishing thing is that the
recent hot weather did not carry deadly
contagion on its wings to a greater extent
than it did.
One City as Bnd as Another.
"There is little difference between one
city and another in this respect. I suppose
that Pittsburg is not better than Wash
ington. But there is little use of talking
to either the people or the city authorities
in regard tojiabits and cleanliness. In my
long experience it has been proven to me
almost every hour that a bad habit in eat
ing and drinking, lack of frequent bathing,
uncleanly closets and all the other vehicles
of disease will be perpetuated, no matter
what the warning. A single spasm of
virtue exhausts the impulse to do right, and
we go on as before. Therefore, attention to
the more superficial and general methods
of prevention is a thousand times im
perative. "I speak from a somewhat remarkable
experience when I tell you that if the large
cities of the United States escape a visit,
more or less calamitous, of this terrible
scourge of cholera, it will be something
near akin to a miracle. I predict that
Within two weeks we shall see that the
cholera news from our own cities over
shadows that from the other side of the
ocean, unless the most heroic treatment be
applied.
Necessity for Radical Measures.
"Were I at the head of affairs I would
not permit a rag of clothing or of merchan
dise which could carry the disease to enter
at any ot our ports until after its thorough
disinfection, and that not in the ves
sels in which it is trans
mitted, but in the open air.
I would hold everv passenger from
an infected city until all of his belongings
had been disinfected in a similar manner.
The germs of the disease may lie dormant
for weeks and months in clothing and other
articles and then sow the plague broadcast
As thoroughness would be impossible if
there were not some restriction placed on
immigration, I would prohibit all immigra
tion at least nntil after the advent of freez
ing weather, and even then would continue
a close supervision and compel a continu
ance of the disinfecting process until the
warm weather ot next vear shall show
whether there he danger of a new outbreak.
"The history of these diseases tells us
that almost invariably the second year of a
plague is more destructive than the first,
and the precaution should, therefore, affect
not only this yesr, but particularly should
look forward to the next, which, if it be one
of intense heat, like the present summer,
will be one of gloom and death if the con
tagion gets any sort oi a foothold this fall.
Instead ot fairs and festivities, there will
be funerals. Tbe cemeteries will not be
capacious enough to hold our dead.
More Serious Than Threatened War.
"We are confronted with a condition
more serious than a threatened war. There
is a demand for the most consummate Gov
ernmental and municipal generalship. Will
the Washingtons and the Grants and the
Napoleons spring to the front aud be equal
to the tremendous emergency?
"'Every town and city lurnishes opportu
nity for the development ot the man for the
time who will do the great work that must
be done at once if the march of the millions
of tbe oread army of the contagion is to be
met and baffled. It may be even now too
late to insure complete immunity from the
disease, but it is not too late to confine it to
the spot where it finds its first victims. If
our Government and municipal authorities
fail ot their duty death sudden and horrible
will not onlv sweep throughout the coun
try, mowing down its victims by the thou
sands, but business will be paralyzed, com
merce will be destroyed, financial disaster
will comejn the wake of the plague; And
if, added to these horrors, there should be
a shortage in tbe yield of staple articles of
1 food next year, who can even guess at the
calamities ot a social character which might
lay waste the land in in entire length and
breadth?"
WIMAN'S EXPLANATION
Of Kf murks Made bv Him on Capital and
labor He Thinks Labor's Bight to
Combine Is Equilly as Defensible as
That ot Capita'.
New York, Aug. 28. Special' Erastus
Wlman's discourse on "Capital and Labor"
at Prohibition Park Sunday a week ago
aroused so much criticism that to-day he
again addressed the congregation at that
place for the purpose, as it is safd, of ex
plaining some of the statements he had
made. Mr. Wiman spoke as follows:
It would seem that my speech last week
did not suit everybody. I am very sorry for
that, but I firmly believe that some or tbe
antagonism displayed is purely tbe result ot
my listeners misunderstanding what I said.
A'wroug construction was put on my words,
and to set things right I am here to-day to
answer the three following questions:
First Dldyou say that. the Vanderbtlts,
the Webbs and the Carnrgies must take caie
of their own pioperty: that they must not
expect the state troops to settle their
trouble?
Second Many understaud you to say that
you were disgusted that jour son had logo
to Buffalo to defend the property or the
great railroad Kings. On the contrary, is it
not tiue that the soldleis went to Buffalo to
Iut down lawless acts and to keep tho peace?
s not this a duty to beperlormed by the
Government, whether it be the cottages of
the poor or the stoiehousesnnd palaces of
tho lich that are threatened?
Third What did you mean by saying that
the niost dangeronsof all unions and com
binations were those of iichmehand rich
corporations; that these were the kind of
strlkets that need most to be feated?
I will take up the second question first.
In it I am asked whether I expressed dis
gust m account of my son having to go to
Buffalo with his military organization, tioop
"A." My answer is no. I never said any
thing or the Rind. I am glad to have a son
nolo and willing to lespond to tne call or
duty. Cut I did say, and now repeat,' that
tho calling out of 7.000 militiamen to put
down a handful or strikers was unnecessary
and hurtful, lhat strike was not put down
on its merits, but by force.
About the first question I have nothing
to say, excepting tnat i said no such thing.
NowubSut the third question. What I said
last week was that a great change, a dan
gerons ehange, was coming over us. Tne
combination of capital is the great change,
and one we must look out for. If It was
deemed necessary to call out the militia of
either Pennsylvania or New York to sup
press a few troublesome stiikers who had
organized to demand an hour's pay for an
hour's work, why was it not necessary to
call out the soldiers to suppress the infa
mous Rending coal combine?
Mr. Wiman was applauded as he stepped
down.
COULDN'T PATCH A PEACE,
The Irish-American Commissioners Return
Home Just as They Went.
NEWTOBK, Aug. 2a Special M. D.
Gallagher, William Lyman, O'Neill By an
and Captain George Sweeney, the pence
commissioners sent to Ireland by the Irish
National League of America to try
and unite the warring factions
of the Irish parliamentary party,
returned yesterday on the Germanic.
They left this city about two months ago.
They have issued a statement of what they
did in Ireland. According to this state
ment it was not until alter the elections
that active measures were taken to bring
the leaders of both factions together for a
conference with the peace commissioners.
They wrote to Messrs. Redmond and Har
rington, of the Farnellite faction, and
Messrs. McCarthy, Davitt, Healy, Ssxton,
Dillon and others of the anti-Parnellite or
McCarthy wing of the party. ,
The commissioners proposed that each
faction appoint a committee to confer with
the commissioners. Mr. Kedmond, tbe com
missioners say, wrote on behalf of the Par"
nellites that they bad appointed a confer
ence committee hut the McCarthyites re
fused to name a similar committee. For
this reason theconfercuce could not be held,
and the commissioners were not able to do
anything to unite the factions. ,-t.-
EADS' JETTIES IN DANGER.
A Crevasse In the Mouth of the Mississippi
Openl-e nn O d Piss.
New Orleans, Aug. 2i Special A
crevasse of considerable proportions is re
ported at Passe a Lontre.one ot the mouths
of the Mississippi The pass was in use as
one of the entrances of the Mississippi a
half a century ago, but shoaled up. "When
Eads' jetties were constructed the pass was
nearly closed in order to force a greater
amount ot water through South Passe, in
which the jetties are constructed, and thus
flush the, channel and deepen it The
crevasse at PasseaLontre undone this work
and threatens to reopen the pass.
The Eads Jetty Company are alarmed at
this, .and contemplate filling it in, but this
would prove s very expensive piece of
work. The United States engineers do not
think that the crevasse will do any more
damage to the channel in the jetties than
the similar break at Cubit's Passe, just
above these works, or reduce the depth of
water at the entrance to the Mississippi,
owing to the high water of this year. The
crevasses have been allowed to run longer
than usual, and have consequently deep
ened. Notwithstanding the report of the
engineers, the Eads Company will attempt
to close the Passe a Lontre again.
GUN CASTBBS IN HAED LUCK,
A Second Fnllnre at tho tTatoitown Arsenal
to Mould a It!g Carriage.
Watertowjt, Mass., July 2a A second
unsuccesslul attempt was made at the
Arsenal yesterday to cast the big 16-ton
gun carriage for the Government, and a
dozen men narrowly escaped death or ser
ious injury. Four months ago orders frere
received irom Washington to cast a gun
carriage alter the model ot a new inven
tion, and active preparations to that end
were commenced by Major Biley. Two
weeks ago an attempt was made to make the
castings, which resulted in the spoiling of
the mould. A new mould had been made,
which was ready for the casting.
Yesterday when the furnace was tapped
the big mass of molten metal shot in a
stream 20 feet in the air. The men rau for
their lives. Major Kiley, director ot the
operation, who was sitting on a widow sill,
threw himself backward into the building
and escaped the flying drops of metal.
Tbe workmen were equally fortunate. The
failure ot this attempt is attributed to the
dampness of the sand which lined the res
ervoir. Another attempt to cast the gun
carriage will be made in a few weeks.
INDIA AND IHE AMEEK.
Bnmors Flying or Another Reverse ofthn
A fghanlstan Army.
Simla, Aug. 2a The Government has
replied to the Ameer of Afghanistan,
again expressing the hope that af
fairs will settle down and en
able him to receive the Roberts
mission. The Government, also, calls upon
bim to withdraw his troops from Wana,
west of Waziristan, where they have a dis
turbing effect on the Indian border. Unless
this is done General Roberts will not pro
ceed to Jellalabad.

fSPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TITE DISPATCH. 1
New York, Aug. 2a Summer is hardly
the accepted time for the game of football,
but the rivalry between the teams in the
college and other associations is so great
that already the candidates for the different
positions are beginning to get themselves
in trim for the antumn campaign.
Tbe coming season promises to be an un
usually busy one and matches between the
local clubs have been arranged to take place
early in September.
One of the first games that will be played
in this vicinity will be between the Prince
ton University team and an eleven from the
Manhattan Athletic Club. The game will
be plaved at Manhattan Field on Septem
ber 17.'
The Princeton team this year bids fair to
be an unusually strong one.' "With but one
or two exceptions all of last year's men
will be back, and with their experience the
eleven should play well together from the
yerv start.
"Phil" King, than whom a better quarter
back does not exist, will again captain the
team from bis old place.
"Shep" Homans, the best fullback in the
country, will once more carry consternation
and the ball into the enemy's territory by
his powerful and well directed punts and
drops. John Poe, the slippery brother of
the slippery Edgar Allan, will again
wriggle through the lines.
Trenchant will replace "Warren at right
end, and, in all probability, tbe giant Biggs
will keep his old place in the line.
The few vacancies that will take place in
the line will easily be filled by the many
candidates, but such giants as Holly and
Thomas will not leave.
A portion ot tbe Yale team has been at
work for several weeks under the careful
training of W. T. Bull at Newport. Little
hard work was done, the men 'confining
themselves to mastering the signals and the
kickers absorbing Bull's tfords of wisdom.
Vance McCormick will captain the team
this year and he will play at his old posi'
tion back of the line.
Heffelfinger's loss will be hard to fill,
although it is said that several young giants
are coming to college with the class of '9a
, And there is much expected from the
Bugby'team in the various Western cities.
Eastern football authorities are expecting
the Three A's, oi Pittsburg, to have a good
team this year, as there are quite a number
of excellent players Identifying themselves
with that club.
Cincinnati, 8 Unltlmorr, 2.
Cincinnati, O., Aug. 28. The Reds won to
day by good, opportune hitting and clean
fielding, their only error being insignificant.

"While be Is not ns snra a man on ground balls as
Richardson, he can cover a great deal or terri

Futurity. This was an ovei sight. Follow
ing nre the winners of the great race pre
vious to Morrello's victory Saturday:
The Futurity was first run In 13S3, the idea
being the prodnct of the brain of James G.
K. Lawrence, President of the Coney Island
Jockey Clnb. The idea was that all ent.ies
should be made before the colt wns foaled.
The first race wns won by Sam Bryant's
great colt. Ptoctor Knott, and the stake was
worth $43,000. Proctor Knott had won scl
eral important races before that. Including

Hovry Llablo to Beat Hall, but Campbell
VI n Ho'd Hla Title.
Newport, It. L", Aug. 28. The annual tour
nament of the Nutlonal Lawn Tennis Aso
cintlon is approaching its end. Play in the
semi-final round postponed from S itnrday
wilt begin to-morrow. As to the outcome.lt
is extremely hazardous to venture an opin
ion, owing to the many surprises, ot tho
tournament. It would seem as though
Haveyand Hall sbould win on Monday, and
so come together in the finals on the day
following. But Wrenn and Larned are not
to be counted out until after their mitohes
have been decided ngalnst them. Neither is
generally looked upon as a probable, but as
a possible winner. Both are strong and cap
able players and a score for either would
hardly be much of a surprise.
If Hovey and Hall finally meet, most of
those who have followed the play name the
former as the more likely to win. Should
he play straight through the game, of which
he is capable, and not fall off badly at criti
cal times, us lie is likely to do with such
fatal frequency, he could scarcely be beaten
by Hall. 'Ihe latter plays n strong and ex
cellent game, but with a reckless, careless
ness now aud then that may lose him the
coveted honor. Itovey is keeping In good
condition. Whoever the winner ot the "all
comers" mav be, it ia the general opinion
that Champioa Campbell will successfully
