ABOUT THE GIANTS.
Their Poor Showing Making Their Patrons
Very Weary.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPATCH.l
NEW YORK, August 25.-The champions
arrived home Thursday from Boston, but were
not received by a brass band at the station.
For how could they expect this after having
the life knocked out of them by the Bean
Eaters When they started away on their last
Western trip every one expected them to take
s out OF the IL games to be played. When they
left Cleveland for Pittsburg they had won
eight out of nine games Ia very fine record), so
all expected them to take two, if not all of the
games at the Smoky City, but when day after
day the defeats were pouring in the people
began to think that the champions had lost
their grip. Well, any way, the Bostons were
losing, so it did not give the latter team such
lead.
Different stories were told of the New Yorks'
defeats most of which was that this or that
player was injured. One was said to have
lame leg another split finger, and so on. But
why didn't the club hit the ball? Why didn't
Keefe and Welch keep the hits scattered.
Well the only answer is they couldn't. What
the trouble is no one seems to know. but it
seems they have for the present lost their grip.
Anyway, the team started for Boston, where
they were expected to take two games, but not
to win any is hard for US New Workers to swal-
low. The first game ought to have belonged to
the visitors; but ;,d Ewing got raSzls pas dazzled
enough runs to make the contest a tie.
The last two games Mutrie's men were clearly
overmatched. The visitors were nowhere.
The home team lit on to our pitchers with ease
and pounded them all over the grounds, while
our heavy sluggers were pigmies in the hands
of Clarkson and RadbOurne. This has been
the saddest week for the cranks in New York
City of the season.
In Brooklyn they also have the horrors,
while the Browns were making monkeys of the
Brooklyns. Right on even terms with Won der
Ahe's men and then to take that tumble seems
odd, but then they can't do better than to get
on even terms with the champions. So it goes;
they drop and then go right on chasing the
leader until they are right on their heels when
something's breaks and down they go. At the
present time the Brooklyns have lifted them
selves again to almost hailing distance of the
leader, but it would not be surprise if they fall
by the way again: II both our teams would
there would be no doubt as to what two clubs
will play for the worlds championship next

A SPIRITUALISTIC SEANCE.
The Society Received It's Charfer-A Warn.

The Society Received It's Charfer-A Warn.
ing From the Spirit world-SpiriIualist
To Have n Picnic.
The hall of the Pittsburg Society OF
Spirit1alists, on Sixth street, was thronged
last night on account of the fact that Mr..
and Mrs. G. w. Hates, the wel[known
spiritualists of Philadelphia, were an
nounced to speak to the audience.
The society has just obtained its charter
as legal organization, and all the members
were very jubilant on that account, because
there has frequently been very strong OPP
position to the Spiritualists, when they have
asked for charter. The Pittsburg society
is the second legal body of spiritualistic
organization in this State.
After Mr.. Hates had given lengthy dis
course upon the objects of the society, it
was announced that Mrs. Hates would make
a few spiritual tests. The lady at once
walked over to gentleman in the front row
of the seats and told him she was drawn to
him by spirit named Mary. The gentle
man said that was his mother, who had died
some years ago. Then Mrs. Hates said:
81 now see the spirit of lady, clad in
the garb worn by people 30 years ago. She
tells me her name is Sarah Jamison, some
times called Annie Sarah Jamison. She is
anxious to compunicate with one William
Jamison, who lives in Allegheny. That
man is in great trouble, and the spirit
wants to warn him of danger which is
ahead of him. / can see a board, and it
looks as if be were to tumble and fall. Does
anybody know this William Jamison?''
A man in the rear OF the hall got up, and
replied that he knew him well.
''Then please tell him of the warning OF

John A. st. John, in behalf of Gaudaur.
has signed the articles of agreement sent
by Teemer The st. Louis gentleman has
made one slight change or addition
relative to the condition of the water at the
time Of the race ST. John insists that both
rowers be satisfied as to the condition of the
water. This demand, however, really does
not amount to much on course such as
that OF McKeesport. 1t is a running stream,
and not susceptible to roughness as an ex-
pansive lake.
There is another interesting condition in the
articles and one which will be read with exceed
ing interest. The race has to be straIghtaway.
This is a new feature here, and Teemer is sat
isfied with it. Authorities think that this con-
dtiou is favorable to Gaudaur. however.
Teemer is quite pleased with it. Its novelty
here will be very attractive. Teemer will sign
the articles to-day, and then everything will be
all right.
ST JOHNS STATEMENT.
St. John, in a letter, states that he will be at
the race but he adds that the boys need not
expect him to do any betting. He neve: BETS
He very pointedly says: II stand all the stake
money for Gaudaur, and, if he wins. 81 900 is
plenty for him TO win, and if he loses that
amount is enough for me to lose"
Mr.. ST. John further states that he hopes the
proposed race will be rowed in the most honest
way so that the old and disputed question of
the comparative merits of Teemer and Gau-
Gaur will be settled.
Following is a correct copy of the articles of
agreement:

The services at the coming semi-centenary
of St. Phllomena's Church. on Fourteenth
street, next October, will be on scale of
grandeur rarely witnessed in this section of
the country The church has lately been
renovated and internally decorated, and
with the magnificent floral display that will
be made it will present an imposing spec
tacle.
The first service will be on Thursday,
October 3, when solemn Pontifcal High
mass will be sung. 1t is expected that
Bishop Phelan will be the ceiebrant Sun
day, however, will be the greatest of the
four feast days. Cardinal Gibbons, of Balti-
more, and Archbishop Ryan, have signified
their intention OF participating in the jubi-
lee; beside all the surviving former rectors
and all the college students, and men who
have been admitted to the priesthood from
the church. The mass that will be sung on
the occasion is Staern's Mass in d, with his
Magnifcat. This mass has never been
sung in the city before, and it will be the
chief attraction from musical standpoint.
There will be very lavish display of fire.

FROM THE SENATORS.
More Changes in Their Club Required-The
Double UmDire Systeru.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO THE DIsPATCH.I
WASHINGTON, August 25.-The Senators
will be home next Thursday, and the indica-
tions are that they will receive a cordial greet
ing. While away they have not bettered their
standing in the pennant race, but they have
bettered themselves in the estimation of home
patrons. Although they have not played
winning ball, they have encouraged their
friends to hope they will make better show
ing next season if the present team is kept
intact 1t is too late in the year to experiment
with young pitchers and Keefe, Ferson and
HaddOck should be able TO do the twirling
until the middle of October.
John Irwin appears to be almost as uncertain
as "Pete" Sweeney The farmer goes in and
plays two or three games in most brilliant
style, and then he turns around and goes to
pieces when his services are most needed. The
home cranks are calling upon the management
to secure new first and third basemen. A
strong prejudice seems to have set in against
Carney and the opinion is freely expressed
that he is purchased in League company. 1t
would be well for the home management
to stop and consider before releasing this

HOME AGAIN.
The Local Team ReIurns-Hanlon Pleased
With the Boys.

The local ball club returned home yesterday
from Chicago. The players were all looking
well and in good spirits. Manager Hanlon ex-
pressed his great delight at the showing of the
club. He stated that only ridiculous error
prevented the team from winning all six games
during the week. He spoke highly of the way
IN which all the players are working for him,
and he is very hopeful of the club finishing
well up. During the trip Fields played ex-
tremely well. and almost all the players were
in fine batting humor.
The indianapolis will be here to-day to
tackle the home players. Morris will likely
pitch for the home team, and probably Boyle
will be in the box for the visitors. There will
be two games for one price of admission to-
morrow afternoon.
