We observe first, that the mode of
Classifying mixed ore was decided by
John Sherman, who was secretary Of
the treasury under Hayes, from 1877
10 1881, and not under Garfield or Ar
thur, as so many writer's on both sides
OF this yeXed question have 80 often
asserted. His ruling was, that in

running horse-was the gala week of the
year. It was the social landmark of the year
as well as a great sporting event, and of the
tens Of thousands who used to gather beside
the beautiful tracks at Buffalo, Rochester
and Utica, and presumably at all the others,
but a small proportion were there for the
purpose Of buying French pools, almost or
quite the only form Of organized betting at
trotting matches in those days.
An exceptionally fast mile was a subject
for conversation in all circles, the style and
action of the speediest horses were eagerly
discussed, and the winnings or losings of
those who were foolish enough to bet were
discussed only by the betting class, which, as
has been intinated, was decidedly in the mi
nority.
That such a state of affairs does not exist
among those who frequent the running
tracks in the vicinity of New York no one
will claim. The races are run for the book
makers, and the people who go to the races,
except on some red letter occasion, such as
the Brooklyn handicap or the Suburban, the
people who attend go to ''play the races"

1ers, AMI asked him for his terms to join the
Phillies An understanding was reached, and
Sanders promised TO come to Philadelphia
the following season.
Sanders is a strapping big fellow, six feet
tall, very muscular, and weighs about 1876
pounds when in condition. This spring his
work was not up to his standard, as he exPe-
rienced great trouble in getting his arm into
shape. Manager Wright kept him on the
bench. and by constant practice and judicious
training he has at last got down to his last
years form, and is at present pitching as
effectively as he did the latter part OF last
season. With Sanders in trim the Phillies'
chances for the pennant are now very good,
as he can be depended upon to win a large
majority of the games he pitches from this
time out He is one OF the Phillies' most
valuable players, and easily ranks as one Of
tho best pitchers in the League.
Last year Sanders ranked fifth among the
thirty League pitchers, with an average OF 81
per cent Of earned runs of him to n game,
and a fielding percentage OF sos. His bat
ting average was .245.

GAIT. A RABEN. CAPT.
The Bradford club is not an old organiza-
ton, but its record speaks well for its proves.
1t first became prominent when Jake Kilrain
won the junior sculling championship at the
association races OF 1884. Last June the eight
oar crew won Mt Worcester, Mass. the New
England championship and defeated all com
petitors at the regatta at Boston on the Fourth
of July last. Their boat was once used by
the Harvard crew in a calamity won race.
Their time at Pullman was 7;44. They were
captained by Mr.. Cumming, a well known
oarsman.
The credit for the work of tho Atlantis at
Pullman is said to be due largely TO the great
care exercised by Capt. Van Raben, who did
not allow his men to smoke and vetoed pie
and s~weetmcats. They were carefully trained
and in splendid form. The Bradfords were
in good shape when they arrived at Pullman,
but it is said that they went in for Il good
time after they got there.
The four Dared contests were all well rowed,
and the single and double scull races were
lively and interesting. In fact the regatta,
despite unfavorable weather for part OF tho
time and the ubiquitous eel grass. was n de-
cided success.

THE PULLMAN REGATTA.

One Of the Greatest Aquatic Contests Ever
Seen In This Country.
The recent regatta at Pullman, Ills, was
one Of the largest gatherings OF oarsnen
that has ever occurred in the United States.
To read the list OF entries was TO read the
names OF most OF the best scullers of Uncle
Sans domnin and OF Canada. The meeting
was a joint convention of the American Ma
tional Association OF Amateur Oarsmen and
the Mississippi Valley Amateur Rowing as
ISOLATION. Fifteen four oar crewn, two eight
oar crews, fourteen double crews and forty
single s~cullors participated in the various
events, and some remarkably good time was
made.
OF course the most interesting feature of
the regatta was the rnce between the two
famous eights-the Atlantis, Of New York,
and the Bradfords, of Boston. 1t was a right
royal battle between nbeaten crews. The
Atlanta Boat club was organized In 1878,
making 1t the oldest in the country. The
crew which defeated the Bradfords Mt Pull
man had been rowing together about two
years, and had during this season defeated
the uew York club easily, and distanced the
Albtpy eight, who had never before been
beaten. The Atlanta clubs eight beat both
Harvard and Yale in 1871, and the club has
only one important eight oar defeat recorded
against It. In 1872 an Atlanta crow went to
England, and was beaten In the international
regatta by half a length. The time at the
Pullman regatta was I'm. Ais, 54 seconds
better than any previous record. The boat
In which they rowed had once carried the
Yales 10 "A glorious. victory.

did great work that year and attracted the
attention Of every manager in the National
league and American association.
Manager Wright slipped in and captured
Gleason, and after a lively scrimmage be
tween Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, Detroit and several other clubs,
the latter secured Beatin. Sanders could not
be purchased at the time, and was trans
ferred with the balance OF that team, after
the Pennsylvania State league d~ishanded, to
Canton, o., which city was represented in
the Tri-State league.
Sander was again discovered by the man
ayers OF the major league clubs, who on their
journeys between the east and west that year
often stopped Off at Altoona to play exhibit
ton games when they had an open date. 1t
was while the indianapolis club, on one Of
these trips in July, stopped of and PLAYED
the Altoonas a game, that they were beaten,
by a score of 8 to Q. with Sander in the box
for the Ahoonas.
Sanders proved to be an enigma to the
Hoosiers, who could do nothing with his de
livery. According to The Stage, Manager
Fogel thought that he had found a prize, and
Immediately opened up correspondence with
the Altoona club officials for Sanders release.
A few days later the Philadelphias came
along and Sander was pitted against them.
They had to play for all they were worth to
win. and Manager Wright took a fancy To

them fully. They thus offer enough resist
ance to prevent the walker from pushing
one foot backward while the other goes for
ward. Without them little progress could
DO made. The bottom and top of the shoes
are made of wood, with an opening in the
latter just large enough to admit the pro
fessor's foot. The sides are of sheet copper
and each shoe contains an air tight compart-
ment furnishing the b%uoyancy necessary to
prevent the performer from sinking.
Oldrieve's first performance OF note con-
sisted OF a seven mile walk to Nahant,
Mass, which he did in three hours and a
half with both wind and tide against him.
He has made many trips since then, several
times being obliged to abandon his shoes and
swim for his life.
His greatest feat SO far was n walk down
the Hudson river from Albany to New York.
He did it on a wager of $500 that he could
walk the distance in six days. He left Al
bany at $50 a. m. on the 18th of November,
1888. The first day he made twenty-four
miles, and at the end of the third day had
reached P~oughkeepsie. There he was very
nearly worn out, as well as discouraged, and,
to make matters worse, a physician, who
was called in, told him that 1t would be sure
death for him to continue under the existing
conditions of wind and weather.

That Is the Position Held by
Sanders Is One OF the Crack Pitchers Of

Professional Work.
Gilbert Hatfield is the general utility man
OF the New York club, and can, with great
credit to himself, fill any position on the
team, except, probably, that OF catcher, says
the Clipper. He was born Jan. 81, 1855, in
Hoboken, N. j., and is n brother of Johnn
Hatfield, the once famous professional player
and the champion long distance thrower.
"Gl," as he is Familiarity called, began his
professional career in 1883, when he was with
the Metropolitan Reserves, they being located
first in Newark and afterwards in Hartford.
At that time he played second base for the
Reserves and made n great record for himself.
At the beginning of the season Of 1884 his
services were in great demand by the minor
league teams. but he accepted a aattering
offer from the Monumental club. of BAltf,

DRAMATIC NOTES.

Nat. Roth pays Rudolph Aronson $3.50 a
week for the use of "Erminie' and the name
of the Casino, which will be attached to a
travelling opera company.
The profits of the season ut Bayreuth are
expected to be heavy, a letter stating that
they will amount TO at least $4,000. This
year, however, there are no extra expenses in
connection with the representations. An
three operas nave been performed before,
and the scenery and dresses and stage para
phernalia are all in hand. The $50, 900, or
whatever tho profit may DO, will be funded
until the year 1892, when the whole of it, and
perhaps more, will be spent ON a revival of
the Paris Qs6D version of -''Tannhauser,n
which will be alternated with "Parsifal."
The skull Of Yorick, the Jester, that one of

ago. Among the party was DR.. Foley, of
Ohio, who has treasured it as n curiosity ever
since. He has loaned it to Mr.. Matthews,
but would not part with it upon any consid-
~rration, as he is firmly persuaded that it is

the morning after they had resumed theiI

HE WALKS ON THE WATER.

Professor oldrieve and His Ingenious
Aquatic Shoes.
Ed Hanlan, the oarsman, gained some
little notoriety a few years ago. by doing
what he called walking on the water" al
though he was by no means the first man to
attempt it Each foot was supported by
what was in reality nothing else than a small
boat. These floats or shoes as he called
them, were fully six feet long, and as wide as
the spread Of his legs allowed. For some time
no one else took hold of the idea. Finally,
during the summer of 1888, Charles w. Old
rieve, a high wire performer at Ocean Beach,
decided to see what he could do in the aquatic
pedestrianism line.
His first shoes were not much smaller than
Hanlan's, but he has been experimenting
constantly since and now uses n pair only
two feet two inches long, ten inches wide and
fourteen inches deep. On the bottom of each

After a long sleep he felt better and decided
to go on, and on the evening of Thursday, the
fourth day, he went ashore at Garrison's.
His shoes were completely enveloped in ice
and he vas sore and lame, but the next ebb
tide saw him again on the water, and at the
turn of the tide he had reached Sing Sing.
Saturday morning he reached a point just off
Ono Hundred and Twelfth street, and there
he was taken aboard the boat.
A few days after completing that long walk
young Oldrieve succeeded in walking from
the Grand street ferry in New York to the
Annex docks, Brooklyn, in 45 minutes, win
ming the bet of 800 which had been wagered
by Steve Brodie.
he Plso walked the rapids at Lawrence,
and there met with an accident, for he STUN
bled and struck u rock, breaking two of his
ribs. He is all right now, however, and ex-
presses great hopes for his future.

The Niagara rapids, and feel confident that /
