The Chipper Spiders' Splendid Start Fittsbnnr" Chances for a Place. Labor Day yielded many surprises, pleas ant and otherwise to the baseball world. Judged from any point of view, the double triumph ol the Cleveland team was the event of the day. If the Spiders can keep up their present pace until the close of the week.there is no doubt but what they will clinch their hold on the pennant The work of the team yesterday was a revela tion. They outfield ed, outbattei and out generaled the Phillies in both games. If luck breaks even, the active Spiders will win a majority of their 12Eastern games. The results ol their final Eastern trip will undoubtedly determine the final standing of the clubs, and it is sate to say that the backers and players of the Cleveland aggregation fully appreciate aud understand the situa tion. Your Uncle.Anson was on his mettle and found it a comparatively easy task to ad minister two sound thrashings to the over rated Giants of Gotham. Pat Powers" group of antiquated "has beens" and unde veloped "young bloods" have cut a sorry figure in the pennant nice during the last two weeks. The team is hopelessly weak in every department and should prove very "easy" for Cleveland, Cincinnati and Pitts burg. Citizen Von der Alie's young men from St Louis played good steady ball against the Bridegrooms, but had their labor lor their pains, as Brooklyn won both games The two games in Boston were well played. Louisville 'is putting up a very last game and had young Clausen joined the team early in the season, she would have been well up in the procession long before this. Cincinnati's victory over Baltimore was tn be expected. Manager Ed Hanlon has managed to -thoroughly disorganize the Orioles, and although there is some excel lent material in the team the general result is the reverse of satisfactory. And now a word or two about the local situation. Un welcome and untimely rain storms forced the postponement of the two Pittsburg Washington games scheduled for yesterday. II the day breaks fair and from all ac countslt will these teams will play two games this afternoon. The first will be called at 1:30 o'clock and the second two hours later. Ehret and Esper will do the pitching for the Pittsburg end, and Killen and Abbey will officiate for the visitors. Bnckenberger's men will be doing very well if they break even on the day. To night they'start foi'the East Tho O d JIan Takes Two. New York, Sept 5. The morning game at the Polo erounds was won easily by Anson's Colts, who outbatied and outflelded the home team. Ewing caught for an inning, then Doyle went in to catch aud D. Lyon to third. Attendance, 3,400. The afternoon frame at the Polo grounds to-dnyns also won by the Colts.

ACCORDING to Richardson, Abbey will hardly be releaeed, as he Is too promising a pitcher. Washington wanted Genlns not long ago. b'lt be has b:eu released by Cincinnati for Incom petency. Bio Perry Werden'i release has been recalled by Von de Ahe. The big fellow Is a great favorite In St. Louis. There are no championship games scheduled for to-dav. But many postponed games will be pla ed off. It was expected by many that Brooklyn would win the second championship, but 11 don't look that way now. What the Senators need is more batting, and Manager Richardson has been giving the men a splendid example of late. He has been hitting the baU hard, and this is calculated to Inspire the others.

RESULTS AND INCIDENTS OP THE DAY Skeepshead Bay Eace Tback, Sept 6. The Labor Day crowd exceeded all ex pectations, tbe fair weatb'er and excellent progamtne of seven races proving an attrac tion strong enough to fill the grounds to overflowing. It was far and away the largest crowd of the meeting, there being fully 15,000 people present when the bngler summoned the horses to the post for the first race. Spartan, Taral up, was made the medium of a terrible plunge. Simmons, the second choice at 7 to 1, cleverly ridden by Blake, beat Spartan on the post by ahead and regis tered the first of six defeats for first choices in the betting. Then came the Woodoock stakes, a mile race over the turf for 2-year-olds. Tar and Tartar ruled a top heavy favorite at 3 to & He was never prominent, Emin Bey, 7 to 1, taking the stakes from "Wormser, 10 to 1, after a hard fight, in which Dogsjett out rode Hidgley. There was practically no betting on the third race, it being conceded to be Stone nell's, who ruled a prohibitive favorite at 1 to 10. As indicated by the odds, he won in a gallop. The Labor Day handicap was then de cided and it was a rattler. Strathmeath was favorite in the betting at 11 to 5, while Montana was heavily supported at 2 to L Stratbmeath wae the better horse, but Gar rison, as was to be expected, outfiniahed Major Covington and won the handicap with Montana by a short head. Fred Taral, 5 to 1, ran away with the fifth race irom flag fall to finish. Fairy, 5 to 2, took the sixth easily, and Watterson, 2 to 1, followed suit in the last race.

I SHAKESPEARE AT THE DUQUESNE, Pollto Drama at the Alvln and Jlelo-Prama at the B'ou. VAUDEVILLE IN A VARIETY OP FOKMs) The season in regulation evening dress stepped out from the wings at all the the nters last night. The ugly weather damp ened the ardor of many theater goers, and in consequence no house was uncomfortably crowded. The theaters which opened their doors for the first time in the season of '92-3 last night were the Duquesne and Alviri. At the Duquesne the new portico with its brilliant array of lights, the remarkably In viting decorations of the lobby, and the increased brightness ot the house itself, chiefly by reason of new gilding on the proscenium arch and boxes, were all admired. The Alvln was looking its best, and Managers Davis and Hyde and the other officers to be in keeping with the esthetic tone of the house wore deliciously fragrant pink roses in their buttonholes. The con servatory is better stocked with plants than ever. Eeene as Blciiard lit. The most fascinating villain of all that Shakespeare created, the hunch-backed Plantagenet has practically n exponent in America to-day who can approach Thomas W. Keene, who played the character last night at the Duquesne Theater. Mr. Keene's performance, while it has some blemishes, is really a great piece of art, and it grows no less admirable as age mellows it Mr. Keenc's company includes several actors of note, and, on the whole, is more than usually competent lor Shakespearean work. Miss Emma Vaders was of course admirable as Queen Elizabeth, but Miss Burroughs hardly seems equal to tne trying role ol iMUy Anne. The audience which was large was cordial in its applause. A very artistic new pro gramme has been published. To-night "Richelieu," in which Mr. Keene is excel lent, will be presented. The Charily Bill. Belonging to the society drama produced by New York in imitation of the same thing in London "The Charity Ball" ap peals gently aud persuasively to the emo tions, be they Bad or mirthful. It has been seen here before, and its presentation last night at the A lvin Theater calls for little in the way of general criticism. The com pany is one of Daniel Erohman's, and is in the main equal to the undertaking. There are weak spots in the performance, which experience, for the company has only been out a iew.days in the piece, may build up. Mr. Elliott is the best John Van Bttren we have been; he has the somewhat unctuous grave of the fashionable rector down to a niceity, and he is genuinely forceful. Mr. Sands made a dryly humorous Judge Knox, and the high comedy of Mr. Conger as Atez. Jiobinson was always spontaneous and devoid .of Billiness, in which such parts tempt some actors to indulge. Mr. Conger's progress since his last appear ance here with Palmer's "Alabama" is noteworthy. He found an amusing fellow conspirator in Miss Jean Coze, whose Bess is a pretty little piece of fooling, if the lines are stage-conventional. Mr. Wagen hals, a young actor of ability, looked the part of handsome but weak Dick Van Buren, and put some intensity into it Miss Frances Drake was refreshingly natural, easy and good to look at in the role of Ann Cruger. She is an actress of promise. The audience evidently eujoyed the play. The Limited Alan's Flight," . As the modern American melodrama goes, and has to go to please the public, -"The Limited Mail," which was given at the Bijou last night, is probably as good as anything there is on the stage. The limi tations ot Mr. Vance's art as a playwright may be very plainly defined, but it is un questionable that he has made a thing which makes people laugh and jnmp out of their seats with excitement. The play is what it was last year, a stormy melodrama and farce comedy com bined. The sensational effects are better than they were last year. The flight of the express train across tbe stage is more realis tic and the electric message which blazes out on the wires is better done. Lew Bloom's tramp is really a work of art; a genuine study of life with broadly humor ous exaggeration of course at times. A novelty is the contortion act and dancing of Beatrice, a girl of small build with muscles like steel and a frame as flexible as rubber. The audience warmly approved everything, the immense crowd in the gallery being especially loud in its verdict The matinee was also crowded. What Is Telephonic? That is a very serious question, which we fancy few who sat through the performance Inst night would care to answer off-hand. Perhaps a further and closer investigation may reveal some merit in the disjointed verse of the dialogue, in the eventless and bewildering plot, anTl the sloppy, amateur ish acting of the principals. "Telephonia" has only been out a week, and it will have to take a lot of nourishment if it means to stay out much j, longer. Eor the guidance of our readers we may venture to say that "Telephonia" s a variety entertainment masquerading us an extravaganza. Ths scenery and costumes are really quite good, and some o'fthe .young women who exhibit the bright cloth ing and other charms with liberality are well favored. Mr. James A. Call an ot the comedians alone seems out of his element. He is positively lunnv at times as Von Hayseed, Miss Mabel Cfark and Miss Kate Zantretta's dancing are other good feat ures. But a play in these days, even if it take the charitable title of extravaganza, has to produce an intelligible cen tral Idea. In "Telephonia" the story of Columbus is supposed to be burlesqued, but it is, really buried out of sight with heaps of unmitigated rubbish. It is pain ful to have to use harsh words so soon, but "Telephonia deserves condemnation be yond a doubt and the apathetic audience said "guilty" as they stole away. World's Museum Theater. A capital show of the kind is to be found in the curio. hall this week. Those who ad mire intelligent animals will be delighted. The horse Mahomet is simply a wonder. He can virtually talk, and perform all sorts of tricks. Tbe" monkeys under Senorita Gillette's guidance are as comic as ever; and the trainedfgoate are very interesting. In the the theater the Bostonians' Spec ialty Company gave a really first-class per formance. The house was crowded all day. The Harris) Theater. Manager Starr was a very well pleased man last evening, and with reason, for he has at this popular house this week the most meritorious performance that has been given there for many weeks. Katherine Itober is giving "A Heroine in Eags," supported by an excellent company. Beside- the star, who is well up in her part, Miss Mary Buckley's work ts very pleasing, and the male characters are . all in good hands. During the market-place scene in the second act, Begaloncita, thechild dancer, gives her specialty in the inimita ble manner which pleased so many lost sea son at the Alvin. She is improving as time passes. To-morrow evening the result ol the Sullivan-Corbett fight is to be displayed by a stereopticon in this house a decided novelty here. Davis' Eden Mnsee. Miss "Virginia Knapp, the celebrated ,: j """" reader, created a big sensation at Harry Davis' Eden Muses yesterday. She was placed under close watch at each per formance in the waiting-room off the ex hibition hall and iu the course of ten or 12 minutes found carefully concealed rings, coins, etc, hidden in different parts of the building. The most remarkable part of her work was that in a variety of instances she named the article concealed a minute or two' befoje" she put her hand on ii She, easily resisted the efforts of two strong men to move or lift her one inch and made it impossible for them to' lift a G-year-oId child. TVt b r & Tlr'.ds at the Academy. Weber & Fields' Specialty Company opened at the Academy last night to a crowded house. The performance was a fairly good one, and was highly appreciated by the audience. James It Adams, em peror of the stills; Dmmmon and Stahley, the musical blaoksmiths, aud Johnnie Car roll, the nell-knowh comic singer, were well received. The performance wound up with a laughable farce entitled "Musie Mad," that kept t!ie audience in a high state of hilarity until Jhe sidewalk was reached. I Staio Note. Eveey round of the Sulllvan-Corbett fight will be given In detail from the stage of tho Bijou Theater between the acts of "The Limited Mall" to-morrow night. A special telegraph wire communicating directly with New Orleans will run into the theater, by an arrangement with the Western Onion, and thu operator will sit on the stage and take every move in the fight as it occurs. The theater will be kept open till the fight is over, so that the audience will know the final result before going home, t RIVER NEWS AND NOTES.

Everything Is quiet along the rivers; the pool boats are doing good business, but the rlvermen generally are only waiting for tbe rise. THE subject of letting down Davis Island dam to drain the old water on of the pool Is being dis cussed among rlvermen opinions being eaually divided as to the advisability of doing or not doing It. . Work Is progressing rapidly on the Beaver dam. Captain Martin Is anxious to have the coffer dam for the lock completed before the fall rise or the rivers, so that work can be continued through the winter upon the lock, which Is the most Important part of tne structure. John F, Dravo says he cannot see how the coal operators are go ng to compete with other mar kets unless there is something done to equalize matters. It miy have to be a reduction in the Jirlce paid for mining cnal or something else, but It s evident that there must be something done. He compares the Kanawha river. West Virginia, where large bodies of coal are. having free lockage and a decided advantage In being near the market, while Pittsburg operators must pay tolls. He says there Is no equity in the matter. A NICE GRIST 0P DAMAGES Brought to the Legal Mill in Toungstown ' for Larse and Small Sums. Toungstown, Sept C Specia?. Thomas J.

He Thinks It" Would Bs Unwise to Lower thn VWckets. .' "I have lived by the river 32 years and of that time spent 16 living right down here on the wharf," said Captain Carmack, of the Brownsville Packet Company, "and say now from the experience I have had and what I know about the river, that it would be a great mistake to lower the wick ets of the dam aud let the water ont of the pool. Before we had the dam it was hardly possible to live down here. The stench was simply frightful. Ton could smell it while walking on Water street The sewers emptied their refuse into the river, and their being no water to carry it off, it used to lay and rot iu the sun. This water is not stagnant, as some people say. It is being renewed all the time and is anything but that. We are not troubled with the stench now, nor have we been since the dam was put up, but lower those wickets once and I think I will make a move for safety." Didn't Accomplish Mncn.
