CLEVELAND, OHIO, Sept. 26.-There
was good attendance at the races here
to-day. The weather was beautiful and
the track fast. Between heats the black
mare Elvira, owned by j. @. NcFerran, of
the Glenview stock farm, Louisville, KY,
trotted with running mate for purse to
beat the d-year-old record. The first mile
was made in 2:l9l, and on the second trial
the mare made the circuit in 2:1St, lower
ing the best previous record by quarter of
second. The mile was trottad smoothly
except for one short break on the home
stretch, by which the mare lost perhaps q
quarter of second, and made the mile in
2:46, tho bost yearling record ever made
east Of tho Pacific slope. Hutbreaker is
owned by j. W. Fisher, of Quincy, III.
Following arc summaries of the days

To-day the aristocratic Jerome Park
meeting begius at New York, and at its
termination the races will turn SOUTH
ward for Baltimore and Washington. 1t
will not be long until flyers will begin to
cOngregate at Ivy City, and the track be
alive with the hooded and blanketed blue
bloods of the equine family taking their
exercise gallops in the dewy morning
hours. Needless to say about the same
dowy hours numerous citizens will find
goods reasons for happening out there, not
least Of tho reasons being the desire to
spot the winners of the coming races.
There is one race set for decision at Ivy
City next month that, providing the
prominent entries come to the post fit and
well, is destined to rank among the most
memorable of tho year. The race in
question is the Washington Stakes for g.
year-olds and upward, to carry 105 pounds,
distance one mile and quarter. Miss
Woodford is in and is bound to be great
favorite ut the light weights. But aside
from her there are such horses as Mon
itor, Aranza, Drake Carter, Gen. Monroe,
Jim Renwick, Jack of Hearts, and Rica,
All horses who have displayed enormous
speed this year under heavy weights,
and no one can tell what the effect will
be when they are turned loose under such
light weights. Quite lately Monitor has
run two miles with ease in 3:322 with 1lS
pounds up, making it, all things con-
sidered, about the best race at the
distance ever ran. Aranza has within
month won at q mile in 1:41, been beaten
another milo by short nose in 1:40t, and
again by head in 1:41, carrying 1lO and
1l2 pounds. Drake Carter has run the
best three miles on record, and when con-
fessedly not in the best condition has Just
made Miss Woodford run the two best
races of her career. Gen. Monroe has
proved himself about the best entire horse
of the year, and the others are SO fast for
the distance that no racers living can
take liberties with them. Miss Woodford,
Monitor, Drake Carter, AranZa, Jim Rem
wick, and Rica will carry 102 pounds,
Gen. Monroe and Jack of Hearts 105
pounds in this race. There are a lot Of
other good horses in ii like Fond-du-Lac,
Herbert, Lucky B, War Eagle. Topsy, and
Heel and Toe, but they are outclassed
by those. considered. With q good
day and track some one of this lot of
horses ought to beat tho time record, and
it is by no means certain that Miss Wood
ford will be returned the winner. If she
| is it will be after the most desperately
contested race of her life. If Old Monitor
turns up at the post in the pink of con-
dition it is no great odds that any horse
can beat him mile and quarter with
the feather weight of 102 pounds upon
his back, and the same may with equal
justice be said of Gen. Monroe who has
carried from Ia to 130 pounds in his races
this year, and only twice carried less than
100 pounds. Every lover of the races will
hope that all the conditions of weather,
the first day of the meeting, when this
now promising event is sot for decision.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept ga new suit
has been brought in the courts Of this city
by Father Stack, q Roman Catholic priest,
against Bishop o'Hara, because of the
bishops continued refusal to reinstate
the priest in professional office. The
present suit has created much surprise,
inasmuch as 1t was supposed that former
difficulties had been settled at Bone about
year ago when Father Stack visited the
propaganda and was recognized in his
priestly capacity by being permitted
to celebrate mass in st. Peters. How
ever, after his return to America. the
bishop still objected to giving him an
appointment unless no would sign an
apology for having sought redress In tho
civil courts, and renounce all right to
invoke their aid in the future, and also
retract the positions advanced in the
controversy. This was declined by the
priest. The parties havo been contesting
for more than twelve years.

Games.
Tho Nationals departed on their west
ern trip last night. Baker and Wise re-
mainod at homo, both being sick; but, IL
sufficiently recovered by that time, they
will probably join their comrades at Gin
oinnati and take part in the games at that
point. Their first game Of tho tour will
tako place at Milwaukee tomorrow. THE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN will publish full
scores of the championship games played
by the Nationals while west,
Lovers of tho gamo will now bo forced
to turn their attention to the games of the
District Amateur league, which will tako
place every fair day ON the Capitol park
grounds until tho championship is do
cided. Judging from tho game be-
tween the Potomacs and Gormantowns
played yesterday, somo worry exciting
and interesting contests are to take place
that will more than repay attendance
The game in question resulted in favor
of the Potomacs by tho close score of four
to two, and was hotly contested through
out tn tho pleasure of q very fair attend
anoe. To-day the Wavorleys and Stars
will play, and as the Waverleys number
in their nine such wellknown players as
Yewcll, Gladmon, Ryan, Mckee, and
McAuley, good ball playing may be looked
for, and good attendance will no doubt
be attracted. Ladies are admitted free to
grounds and grand stand in all games of
the Amateur league.
Several games will be played at Athletic
park during the next few weeks between
the leading American and League clubs.
The first game will take place on Tues
day, when the Cincinnati, Americans,
and Batmores will confront each other.
The friends and admirers of Charley
Snyder and Frank Fennelly will, nc
doubt, flock TO tho grounds by the hun
dred to SEQ their old favorites once more
display their skill. The Boston and New
York league teams will also probably play
q game at Athletic park shortly.
