Ellis, Woodbury Knne, and A. Cass Cantleld, the regatta com mittee of the Newport Yacht tlnclng association, that the association would hold three separate laces for the cup defender class, as they cr.l' the three boats to take place off Newport on July 2, 4 and 6. Hy the terms separate races It Is understood to be meant that each race will bo entirely Inde pendent of the other and will be for a scparte cup or trophy. The association Includes In Its mem bership nearly all of the wealthy cot tagers of Newport, Including many members of the New York and other yacht clubs. A few years afro the or ganization raised a hirfie fund, which yields a Roodly Interest, from which prT7.cs have been bought annually. I'nder the auspices of the association the memorable and exulting races of the TO-footers were held last summer, but the series between the cup defend ers will be by nil odds the most Im portant It has yet held In view of the rivalry thnt there Is sure to exist be tween friends of the eastern boat, the Independence, nnd thoFe of the Con stitution, and In view also of the fact that the series will be practically trial events to see which yacht shall de fend the cup. The race of July 2 will In Itself at tract the greatest attention of any yacht contest of American yachts for years. In that It will be the first meet ins of the new cup defenders, the In dependence and the Constitution, and moreover It will give the first oppor tunity of a comparison of these two new craft with the tleet Columbia, which vanquished Shamrock I two years ago. The announcement of the .series Is significant, inasmuch as it will set at rest the seemingly unwarranted discussion that Is going on as to the piobablllty of Mr. Lawson and bis yacht being Ignored by the members of the New York Yacht club. Were there any probability of such a condi tion of affairs Messrs. Ellis, Kane and Canfleld, the regatta committee of the association, who are among the most prominent and Influential members of the New York Yacht club, never would have arranged a .series of races with the particular object of having the In dependence and Constitution contend. The announcement simply means that the best boat will ho selected to de fend the cup and that it will receive the loyal support of every yachtsman In the country, whether It be the In dependence or the Constitution, or even the Columbia. Mr. Duncan, manager of the Consti tution, and Mr. Lawson, owner of the Independence, have signified their wll 'ingiies.s to race for the Newport as sociation cups. The Newport Yacht Uaclng association will soon announce races for the 70 and 30-footcr classes, and a regatta for the middle of July. At a dinner In his honor a mechani cal Inwntor was asked: "What comes after the bicycle'.'" His reply was: "Gentlemen, there never will be any successor to the bicycle." When asked to explain ho positive a btaUnent lie said: "There never can be a less amount of material put together with greater skill that will answer the pur pose of human loeomol ion with greater ease and pleasure, or at a less oiiginal cost and less current expense to the user. The bicycle is one of the most consummate achievements of our me chanical development and one of the most beneficent to civilisation. It has no rival, and it can have no successor." Athletics, both amateur and profes sional, have grown to such importance that athletic grounds In this city large enough for the most Important affahs have been hard to obtain. The Greater New York Irish-American Athletic club Is now In possession of grounds where athletic tournaments can be held, no matter how big ihe crowd or what games or sports are demanded. Four years ago the club purchased ibout nine acres at Laurel Hill, Long Irland City. The name given to the Ki minds is Celtic park. The club house, Including inclosed piazzas, is 104 feet wide by l'JO feet long. The basement Is twelve feet high and has howling alloys and sitting rooms for those desiring to watch the games; a ic&tnurnnt accommodating a thousand pcroii8, and a kitchen, with all the latest fixtures. On the floor above Is ihe cafe, 40 feet long and 20 feet wide, In the center of the west end of the building, on either side of the enfe, are diesslng rooms, reception rooms and private dining rooms. The track is a circular quarter-mile one, and eou htiucted for nil kinds of races. There are fields for base ball, cricket, polo, foot ball In fact, accommodations for all manner of sports. On the east side of the track will be a rifle range .100 feet long, with four ranges, for match shoots. An athletic field on the Cornell cam pus is probable. At the recent meet ing of the athletic council it wus de cided to appoint a committee to look Into tho desirability of grading a field on the campus, and it was voted to al low this committee an amount not to exceed $500 for this purpose. For years Cornclllans have regretted the expen diture of money on Percy Field, think ing that all such funds must bo nn ab frolute waste, for eventually It was wen that the future field must be on the hill. Tho Improvements contem plated on Percy Field will be finished, (is the new field will not bo ready for some years. Bowling. A rather unique match was rolled Inst night on the Bicycle club alleys, '.vlien the strong first team of the ns. i nutation met five members of tho club known at the "Tin Cans" and bowled i hem for n dinner at the Speedway, The game was unique, Inasmuch as it certainly required u certain amount of audacity for the newest and young est aggregation of bowlers to roll the team which Just won the championship of a league In which the head bowlois In northeastern Pennsylvania particle pated. The champions, however, won out by only ninety-three pins, taking two out of three games, and, having a total of 2,367 to 2,274. The men lined up as follows: ilieyclo club Moote, DufTield, Mitchell, Wardell .and ltopcr; Tin Cans Piyor, Walter, The World of Sport. Slvolly, Fuller ftnd Reynolds, The gnmes resulted n follows! Itll-rle dull ..... SIS Mil T.lfl 2W1T Tin Cam Till 1M Ml 2271 In the tournament Just completed the Individual bowling was not ns high as In the first league matches of tho season, but on the whole the rolling wns more consistent and steady. The highest score made was 225, scored by Welchel, nnd this high water mark Is nine pins lower than the high score of the Inst tournament. Yost made that, as will be remem bered, with 2,14, but then there wns also George Phillips' 232 nnd numerous 228's, all of whl.ch surpass Welchel'a score. The latter bowler ha,the dis tinction of making the most double centuries scored by any Individual player In tho tournament. The Elk player made three doubles, 223, 210 nnd nn oven 200. areen. of the Wllkes Harro West End Wheelmen, mnde a brace of doubles, 202 nnd 200. Duineld, of the nicycle club, had 206 and 200, Wlcgand, of the West Enders, 216 nnd 215, Hopkins, of the TJackus club, two 202 games, and the following players a double century apiece: Taylor, of the Hlack Diamonds, 20S: Yost, of the West Enders, 214; Fllley, of the Elks, 211; Hooker, of the Hackus team, 200: Hobllng, of the Elks, 213; Mitchell, or the Illrycle club, 211; Wardell, of the Bicycle club, 203; Moore, of the same team, 202; Hoslam, of the Elks. 210. The highest team game rolled was Oil, wide by the West End Wheel men on the Elks' alley. 998 vas the star performance of the old league with th" Commercials as tho heroes. A peculiar fact about the bowling In the second tournament Is the fact that not a member of the West Enders No. 2 reached tho 200 mark. The Backus club will play off Its postponed game with the Wllkes Barro West End Wheelmen Friday night on the latter's alleys. This will leave tho game between the Wllkes IJnrre teams the only one yet to bo played. Base Ball. National League. At PlilUcli-lpliia It. II. V..

But little Interest Is being taken in the local base ball gomes, and to the mediocre exhibitions put up by the scholastic teams at Athletic park this Is to be attributed. In former years the High school and School of tho Lackawanna have turned out teams which weio able to cope with any of the schoolboy nines In this region, hut this season the material making up each Is deplorably weak. A few good players are on each nine, and there the base ball quality ceases. Everything contributes this season to throw a damper over the base ball situ ation. The miserable condition of the grounds, the poorness of the oxhlhi tlons, the small boy nuisance all aid In killing the national game In the central city. "Buck" Freeman, tho Wllkes-Barro youth of home-run hitting proclivities, who last season played with tho Bos ton National league teum, is one or Jimmy Collins' right-hand men with tho Boston American leaguers. "Buck" is playing first base, nnd is already hailed as a second Fred Tennoy, His fielding In several games has been pro nounced little short of marvelous, nnd his little willow wand has been In evi dence every time ho has faced an American league twlrler. His long distance shots have been frequent and his old sobriquet of "Home-Bun Buck" Is proving no meaningless one. In Ferris, Jimmy Collins has secured one of tho most promising players of the season. Tho little second baseman guards the Boston American league team's second base like a lynx and is also showing up well with the stick. In Monday's game against Washington he had ten outs, five assists and an error, which Is the year's record so far, Charles Dryden, the clever North American bnso ball writer, continues his war of satire on Andy Freedman, the famous New York magnate. Dry den's latest mode of pestering Andrew Is evidenced In the series of photo graphs of league celebrities being run dally In the North American's sporting column. Each day tho same picture of Freedman has appeared for tho past two weeks, with a paragraph of keen sarcastic jeferences undei- It. The New York magnate's likeness Is the only one which has yet appeared In the series. Catcher Toft, last yr with Be ron ton and who went from here to Spring field, has been signed by Worcester, of the Eastern league. Ho will help Jack Clements out with the backstop work. Basket Ball. Great Interest was shown this winter In basket ball by local lovers of this, one of Amerca's most popular sports. The Defenders, of South Scranton, proved themselves tho unquestioned champions of this city, county nnd, In deed, of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Last week they wound up the season by defeating Jack Tlgue's Gymnasium team nnd thus winning a. 50 prize. There Is now a good deal of talk among the members of the team to the effect that h trip to Buffalo this summer would bo a decidedly pleasing novelty. At the Pan-American exposition tho Athletic cnrnlnl will Include an open tournament for basket ball teams, and the South Scrnnton men have about decided to enter the contest. They have met nnd defeated teams from all the surrounding plnces and now, like Alexander, yearn for other worlds to conquer. Captain Martin Snyder nnd his good men true can piny basket ball and play it well, but nt Buffalo they will meet the pick of tho country and undoubt edly will have to put up the game of their lives. College Athletics. The first definite grading of tho Har vard crew squad Into 'varsity nnd scc rnd crews was made Monday. AVhile a good deal of shifting about is likely to take place before the race with Yolo on tho Thames the final crew Is now practically picked. The men naturally did not iow very well together, as this was the first tlm- that they have pulled In this older. In the launch was Fred Allen, the Yale coach for this year. He watched tho work of the Harvard cruw with interest. Ilo was evidently on the lookout to so' vhnt kind of nn op ponent they will hnv- to face this year. The order in wh'c'i the 'varsity rowed was as follow.'.: Stroke. Bullaid; 7, Ayer; 6, II. Bancroft 5, Lawrence; 4. Shuebruk. 3, Emory; 2, Blake; bow, C.oodcll; coxswain, Jackson. The University of Pennsylvania spiing football practice began on Franklin field Monday. Only about a dozen men reported for the first pi no tice. The practice consisted of punt ing, catching nnd passing the ball. There was no line-up and probably will not be during the two weeks that tho practice is to continue. Coach Wood ruff stated after the practice that his principal aim in calling the men to gether was to find out the material Which he may depend upon for noxi year. He also announced that there would be a preliminary practice tills fall of at least two weeks. It has not been decided wheie it will be taken, but it will probably be on Franklin Held, as the faculty is opposed to the men going away from the city. Graves, the crack quarter-back, has not left the university as was reported some time ago. He is not out for the spring practice, as lie is training for the cricket team, but ho will bo on hand next fall. The small number of candidates who have so far reported Is due to the fact that the majority of the men are working on other terms. Cornell's crew started In a haul weeks' work Monday afternoon. Coach Courtney was unable to take ills squads to the lake and confined all practice to the Inlet. Petty, the old 'varsity man, was Indisposed, and ills position at No. 7 was filled by Edmonston. Hliodes was put In at No. r: and the complete oider of tho 'varsity shell was then as follows: Bobbins, stroke; Edmonston, No. 7; Vanderhoef, fi; Osborne, 3; Teagle, 4; Hliodes, 3; Powley, 2; liazle wood, bow; Long, coxswain. The sec ond 'varsity crew, which will row on May 30, elected W. O. Beyer, of Buf falo, captain. He is one of tho most finished oarsmen In the squad. This crew is now able to hold the first 'var sity in long and short distances. At the close of the Pennsylvania's ciew practice Monday afternoon Coach Ellis Ward announced a shnke-up In all of them, except tho freshmen. The purpose of the move is to secure a second crew to row in the regatta at Lake Cayuga against the second crews of Cornell and Columbia. Four of tho members of tho Henley crew aro elig ible for the races on Memorial day, and these have been placed In the sec ond boat, together with four members of the old Poughkeepsle boat. In ac cordance with the shake-up the second crew now rows as follows: Stroke, Hlldebrand; No. 7, W. Gardiner; No, C, Glllespy; No. 5, Kuhnmuench; No. 4, Jackson; No. 3, Henderson; No. 2, Elsenbrey; bow, 5Jano; coxswain, Tup per. A similar change has been mndo Ir. tho third crew, which Is made up of a combination of the former third and Poughkeepsle crews. Tho rowing order of the crew Is as follows: Stroke, Shock; No, 7, Klor; No. , Wheelen; No. 5, Schrelber; No. 4, Kelley; No. 3, Eckfoldt; No, 2, Goodman; bow, Kel lar; coxswain, Davis. Tho foot ball schedule of Lehigh uni versity for tho coining season has been arranged as follows: Sept. 28, Uni versity of Pennsylvania, at Philadel phia; Oct, fi, University of Buffalo, nt Pan-American exposition; Oct. 12, Princeton, at Princeton; Oct. 19, An napolis, at Annapolis; Oct. 26, Buck nell, at LeJiIgh field; Nov, 2, Lafayette, at Easton; Nov, 9, Cornell, at Ithaca; Nov, 13, Haverford, on Lehigh field; Nov, 16, state college, at Williams port; Nov. 23, Lafayette, on Lehigh field; Nov, 28, Georgetown, at Wash Ington. Sports in General. Tho grand jury at London has found a true bill of manslaughter against "Jack" Boberts, the pugilist who on April 23 fatally Injured "Billy" Smith In a boxing contest at tho National Sporting club; the referee, Douglass; Munuger Bettlson, of the National Sporting club, and others concerned in the light. The recorder 'eeonimended this course so that the courts might finally decide whether such competi tions are genuine contests for points or prize fights.

Events Arranged by Sportsmen with. Lively Imaginations. l'lom ('.i-.seH's .M.ig.iine. At the beginning of List year an ac count was published in one of the sporting papeis of a foot ball match on bicycles which took place near Wol verhampton. Tho attempt to icvolu tionizt' our great winter game com pletely failed, owing to its many in herent Impossibilities, but it was in let estlng as showing a tendency of certain orders of mind. There lias al ways been a large number of so-called sportsmen who are never content with recognizing forms of sport. They aie perpetually on tho lookout for some bizarre contest. As a general rule tho moie ridiculous the conditions under which such contests take place the better they are pleased. Any one who cares to take the tioublo to look through tho files nf "Hell's -Life" can find ample evidence of this for him self. "Old Q" the famous Duke of Queensbei ry hail an extraordinary fertile imagination for weird and novel contests. Passing a wheelwright's shop one day, lie noticed one of tho workmen trundling a big wheel Into tho yard. The man was running at a good pace, and It Immediately occur red to "Oil Q" that here was an lop pi.rtunlty for, in tho words of the mod ern penny weekly, an absolutely novel competition. After some conversation with the wheelwright lie learned that a man could probably run faster with a wheel than without one, the wheel no doubt acting as a sort of pace maker. Having obtained tills valu able ploi e of information, the duke promptly arranged a match between the wheelwright and a certain fleot footed barber of Oxford street, nnd offeied a very substantial prize to the winner. The conditions were that the wheelwright should trundle one of the br.ck wheels of the duke's conlage, while the barber, of course, rhould run unincumbered. Just before the mutch came olf the duke made the unpleas ant discovery that his nominee could only show his best turn of speed with n wheel a foot higher than that oi the" duke's eon Inge. But "Old Q" wasn't to be hn filed by nn obstacle of this kind. He had a sort of platform or dais a foot high elected along the cruise where the race wns to be run. By tumdllng the ciuriiige wheel along the top of this dais while he himself ran on tho ginuiid beside It, the wheel wright was no longer handicapped, and won the race easily. The winner, by the way, must have, been something of an ncrobat ns well as a sprinter to have bnlanced the wheel on a narrow platform while traveling at full speed. All true golfeis must have read with pain an account of the dastardly at tempt which was made two years go to tamper with tho sacred game. In .i iinost reprehensible splllt nf Unity two golfers, in July. JSHS, arranged a match of which the conditions wero that oiih of them should go around tho links with the oidinury hall and clubs, while the other should go nround with a bow and arrow. The superior driving powers of tho how and arinw won tho day, Ah a nutter the bow proved a contemptibly In effective instrument, but It amply compensated for this inferioilty by the certainty with which It sent the arrow soaring over tho bunkei.s. As an Inventor of nbsurdi contests, the lato Sir John Astley wits' almost us distinguished as tho Duko of Qucfciisborry. Ills great for to was ar- j arising races between nnlmals which nature had apparently mndo almost unsuitable for the purpose. When quartered at AYIndsor ho Instituted the only race that over took place between chickens. This peculiar contest came about In the following way: Whllu on a visit to a friend near Windsor who leapt u hen run, Sir John noticed how rapidly tho chickens used to t-cuny to thell mother when food was thrown to her. Hcio was the germ of an Idea for a good sporting match, and at mess a few nights nftcrwaid Sir John Ast' ley expounded to his In other oilkcis his plans for the great chicken r.ico. Ho had bought fioin ,i farmer u hen and u brook of chickens, Each otllcer was to chooso a chicken nnd maik It with a ribbon so that ho could easily Itcc&nlzo It. Tim chickens wcie to bo placed about fifty yards away from their mother and whichever of them leached h"r first In answer to her cackle when food was thrown to her wus to be adjudged the winner. Each People who travel liablo to have dyspepsia or some other form of "stomach . ii trouble.' They have to live as they can, not aa they would. The train Won't stop for them to eat, they must eat when tho train Htops, and in general the food hurriedly swallowed in tho " ten minutes for refreshments " is of an indigestible character. It is small cause for wonder that under such conditions tho ntomach becomes disordered nnd diseased. One of the peculiar features of the times is that the scores and thousands of people who don't, have to travel persist in living as if they did. Tliey cat ttt homo or in the restaurant as if the time for rofrcHhment was limited to ten minutes and they wer in momentary expec tation of tho call, " All aboard 1 " to break in npon their hur ried meal. Tho very natural consequence of this way of living is to recruit the great army of dyspeptics. Dyspepsia has many stages which range from mere discotnfort to utter mental misery and physical wreck. But at any stage dyspepsia is a menaco to health and happiness. Ordinarily we think of dyspepsia as a disease affecting only the organs of digestion and nutrition. But as a matter of fact the disease affects tho whole body. It causes physical lassitude, mental dullness and depression, head ache, muscular debility and constipation or irregularity. It is one of the greatest handicaps to human happiness and useful ness the world knows. Side by side with these facts there is another : Dyspepsia can be cured, has been cured, and is being cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures dyspepsia at any Bt ago, and the only difference between the cure of an old and obstinate case of dyspepsia and the disease in its beginning, is a u difference of time. It takes longer to cure a disease which has bad years perhaps in which to root and a disease which has only just begun to show itself. But so uniform are the results obtained by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery that it may bo affirmed that in ninety-eight per cent, of cases a perfect and permanent cure will bo ob tained. It always helps. It almost always cures. Mr. Ned Nelson, the celebrated Irish Commedian and Mimic, of 577 Koydeu Street, Camden, N. J., writes: "We fulfilled an encagcuieiit of twelve weeks, and the constant traveling gave me n n bad touch of that dreaded disease called dyspepsia. I had tried everything possible to cure it till last week while playing nt H. F. Keeth's Bijou Theatre i i Jlimucilllliu, iu mi; .icjauu iiiu, . piu.niuiiui menu ui mini: auvisefl me to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I tried it, and, thank God, with good results." "Having seen the advertisement of your 'Golden Medical Discoverv,' and being a great sufferer from the effects of stomach trouble for the past' eiVht years, I concluded to try your medicine," writes Mr. W. A. Maxwell, of Marsh field. Coos Co.. Oregon. "I had tried almost every known remedv. .ind ic consulted with the best medical skill attainable, but all without any relief. After re.ulinsr one of your circulars I concluded to trv one bottle of Dr. Pierce' j I Golden Medical Discover). After taking one bottle I felt so relieved it induced me to continue. Am now on the fourth bottle and have not had a spell of bloating or "acid stomach " (which was very painful) for the last six weeks. Before the use of vour medicine I was in dread of every mealtime, for in twenty minutes after eating I would be racked with pain. Indigestion was my principal ailment, and I have been also terribly afflicted with asthma, which, I believe, was brought on through the medium of indigestion Now as 1 stated, after having used four bottles of your medicine, I have not had an attack of sour .stomach or painful bloating, and my asthma has just about disappeared. In fact I feel better now than for the last ten years." ' ' ' The cures effected by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery " are real and lasting. A large number of tho so-called " remedies " offered for dyspepsia, aro mere palliatives. The most they can do is to give some temporary relief from physical dibcomfort. But the " Discovery " makes a perfect and permanent cure. It does this because it is much more than a mere medicine for dyspepsia. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition". It cures diseases of organs seemingly remote from tho stomach, but which in reality have theii origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and its allied organs.
