The Meeting Starts Under Unfav0rable
Circumstances-No Bookmakers.
WASHINGTON. October THE annual fall
meeting of the National Jockey Club began
here to-day rather inauspiciously. The sky was
overcast and the atmosphere chilly and uncom-
Portable, while the attendance was small.
There were fair fields of horses entered, but
they were not of high class, and most of the
races were almost foregone conclusions. The
favorites had things their own way, except in
the fourth race.
There were no oookmakers allowed on the
grounds, and betters had to place their money
either in the French mutual or auction pools.

TURNS UP ALIVE.

He was just arranging for the distribu-
tion of the funds when he received tele-
gram from Mr.. Heald, the real estate agent
in Wilmington, stating that to his surprise
Geogan had turned up, and said he was not
dead, as reported. On the receipt of the
dispatch from Wilmington, Mr.. DAILY sent
for the dead mans relatives in this city and
told them that Mr.. Geogan had turned up
in Wilmington. They would not believe
it, and said that such thing was an impos-
sibility, and that they saw the man dead
and was at his funeral.
After much persuasion by Mr.. DAILY few
of the friends went to Wilmington, and
meeting Geogan they were much frightened.
In speaking of the affair to-day Mr.. Heald
said: IT was much frightened when saw
the ghost, as I supposed, of a man whose
funeral attended about two months before.
But my case was nothing as compared with
others. In some instances number of the
dead mans acquaintance took flight when
they saw what they called the ghost Of
Patrick Geogan approach them.
SCREAMED WITH FRIGHT.
'sI have known in several cases women
and children to scream with fright None
of his friends would believe that he was
living. When he entered the aims house he
frightened all the officers and those that
knew him, and none could be persuaded but
he was ghost"
Geogan, who was much disgusted with his
reception, finally convinced his friends that
he was alive. He said that on the 1st of
last July, while the superintendent was
away on his vacation, Geogan took a
notion to go on cunning tour to
Virginia. Previous to his departure
he secured the services of a strange
man to take his place for few days. The
man who took his place put on the clothes
that Geogan used to wear in the engine
house. The stranger probably had very lit
tie experience, and the explosion occurred
very soon after he took charge of the job.
After the accident the face of the man
was so disigured, and having on Geogan's
clothes, there was not particle of doubt as
to the Identification. Mr. DAILY says
Geogan will be here in a few days for his
deed

PRESIDENT YOUNG's VIEWS.
He Talks About the Baseball Season Just
Closed.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsP ArcH.1
WASHINGTON, October TN all my ex-
perience in baseball" said President N. E.
Young, of the National League this afternoon,
" never witnessed such an interesting finish
as the one Saturday concluding the season of
1889. Think Of it, six clubs depending upon
the last game of the year to settle their status.
One notable thing the past season has been
the marked improvement in batting, and as far
as have gone in the averages this season just
ended is far in advance in that respect Of the
one that preceded it.
Take the case of Brouthers, of the Rostons.
for instance; Had he maintained the pace at
which he started his average would have been
above four hundred thousandths but for fifteen
or twenty games toward the finish he was
unable to get in safe hit. Even with this
drawback he leads the batters of the League
with splendid percentage, thus showing that
the change in the pitching rules has improved
work with the stick. 1 have not gone far
enough init the fielding averages vet to deter
mine whether there is an improvement or not
over last year, but my impression is that teld-
ing has suffered at the expense of batting"

LOUISVILLE, October Jack Chapman, the
new manager of the Louisville club, has taken
hold and the last game at Cincinnati this after
noon the team played under his super
vision. The places of some of the men depend
upon the impression they make upon the new
manager. Chapman will accompany the club
home tonight, and to the end of the season
will watch the field and study the situation.
President Parsons said to-day:
I'VE have great faith in Chapmans ability,
and will spend money for anything he says.
For some weeks past he has been looking out
players for the 1890 season, and l understand
he has his eye upon number of good people,
with some of whom he has personal contracts
for next year. One man in particular is said
to be good one, to get whom the Bostons and
New Yorks were anxious for, is a fine out
fielder. is feet inch in height and is cele-
brated sticker and a good base runner"
The Louisville club will start next season
with 25 or 30 players on the pay roll, and from
this number Chapman thinks he will be able
to get a team which will make a cTedItable
showing and revive the interest in baseball in
the city.
