Closing Days of Chautauqua's Great Season

CHAUTAuQUA, August 23.-In three days
more the last drama of the great Chautauqua
theater will have been played and the actors on
its versatile stage departed for their homes,
while the chief performers will retire to ''fill
up" for next season. The season has been a
success even beyond the greatest expectations
of the poPulace or management
Until very recently the weather has been de-
lghtful, but now the grounds are muddy, the
air chilly, and it persists in raining. Therefore

they truly think that from their four years
course they have gained more knowledge than
anyone who has been through the four years

harmless egotism and without such stimulus
many of them would never have taken up the

A remarkable piece of journalism is the
Assembly Herald of the Chautauqua Associa-
tion. 1t is published daily and few papers
in the land have as many distinguished and
numerous contributors. All the lectures de-
livered on the grounds are printed in it each
day.
Many cottages bearing the sign, "open until
October" indicate that the Assembly is not the
only attraction, but that for place of quiet
and rest ChautauQua is unexcelled even when
the gates are open. Over at Point Chautauqua
many Pittsburgers are enjoying the quiet and

Pugillstic Talk.

It is many years since pugilistic business
was 50 dull in the United States as it is now,
and the pugilists and their friends have
only themselves to blame for it. Wherever
and whenever privileges have been allowed
this class OF sporting people these privileges
have been abused. Merit has not been the
great object sought after, but money and
money only to a very great extent. All
kind Of devices and schemes have been per-
petrated on the public to get its money.
For time the public was gulled to re-
markable degree, and now the reaction has
come, not because of brutal prize fighting.
because there has been very little, if any.
of that, but because of the systematic noise
there has been made over every little club
encounter in order to attract public money.
During the week it has been stated that
certain club will guarantee $4,000 for a
battle between Sullivan and jackson. This
may be true and it may not, but it is worthy

The New Afhlefic CIub.

If report is correct we are to have q new
local Athletic club on a very large scale be-
fore the fall is over. I trust that such will
be the case, because know of nothing that
is more needed in Western Pennsylvania
than real representative athletic organiza-
tion. There is, indeed, wide field for a
club that will embrace at least foot racing,
cricket, lawn tennis and football. There
are hundreds of young athletes who
would be only too ready to join
an organization of the kind. OF course
I mean an organization that would
make efforts to have itself represented in all
national contests. If this were done see
no reason why Pittsburg should not very
soon have a champion of some branch of
athletic sports. But what is of most import
ance now is the formation of club or soci-
ETY. that will establish frstclass football
club and make endeavors to have others or
ganized, $50 that something like a league
could be formed. am inclined to believe
that there is great future in this country
for football. know of no sport that is
more attractive and exciting when good per-
formers are engaged in it. There is no rea-
son why league should not be formed and
formed on basis that would insure popu-
larity and success. The rapidity with which
football has jumped Into popularity in En-
gland is very remarkable, and at present it
is the greatest drawing sport in the United
Kingdom. 1t would, indeed, be well if the
professional baseball clubs would take hold
of the matter and as soon as their ball sea-
son ends have a football season to commence.

I am just in receipt of letter from En-
gland telling me that baseball affairs there
are in very unpleasant and wretched con-
dltion. A dispute which may have by this
time entirely killed their league, arose some
time ago and I think referred to the
causes of that dispute some time ago in a
letter from London.
With many others, I am sorry at the signal
failure to establish baseball in England. 1
am sorry for Mr.. A. G. Spalding more than
anything else. He is very shrewd busi-
ness man, an honest and generous gentle
man and baseball enthusiast. However,
I cannot help thinking that for once he has
trusted too much to the advice of persons
who know very, very little about the bust
ness. That Mr.. Spalding deserves success
we all will admit, because, probably nobody
has done more to popularize the American
national game than he has. But may not
be wide of the mark when say that self
interest, not on the part of Mr.. SpaldIng,
has had very much to do with the baseball
failure in England. Mr.. Spalding is in
England at present, and doubtless will give
Us his views of the matter when he returns.

A Good Exnmpla.

Some time ago mentioned in letter the
fact that there were two rival Sheffield hand
leap companies in England, and that in
consequence both parties lost money on the
July handicaps. just when Sheffield hand
leaps were regaining their old form the un-
pleasant consequences of rivals in the field
appeared. but am informed that the first
taste of the i'll effects Of this rivalry has had
good results. The two companies have had
a meeting and have come to a satisfactory
understanding on the matter. As result
there will only be one handicap before the
public at once. G. 81. Morte g Co. will
have the Doncaster handicap and R. Ford
& Co. will promote the Christmas event.
This will end all unpleasantness, and may
tend tdmake each handicap even more at
tractive than ever. Now, is there not an
example here worthy OF emulation on the
part of the baseball people in this country?
The Sheffielders saw that two at once could
reap nothing but ruin, and like good busi-
ness men resolved to keep clear of each
other. There was no dignity compromised
nor "crow eating" there. It was only what
common sense would dictate. Why cannot
our baseball magnates go and do 1ikewise2
Surely they have rs much reason for so do
ing as had the Shefielders. It is to be
hoped that the example quoted will have at
least some influence on those who have base
ball destinies in their hands.

they would do 20 could hardly be doubted,
considering the success of the supmer ven-
ture. The latter was, indeed, pleasing
success, and it seems safe to say that the
proposed meeting will be just as successful.
Certainly the attractions promise to be bet
ter, and if that be so, the patronage ought
to be great. So far as horse racing is con-
cerned Pittsburg is q thoroughly trotting
city, and the fact has shown that the citi-
zens will patronize good event. So far
this season trotting races have been quite
successful, and there have been some good
contests to sustain the popularity of the
good old sport. But venture to say that
a match race between Dallas and Hal
Pointer would be more interesting to Pitts
burgers than any other event that could take
place on the track. The Pittsburg PAGER
has proven himself to be wonder this sea-
SOD, and a mark Of 2:1113 shows him to
be about good enough to meet any
PAGER in the world in race. OF course,
Hal Pointer is also a very speedy
customer but this fact would make the race
all the more interesting. The Tennessee
is q dangerous opponent for
any pacing horse, and very large number
of authorities think him capable of defeat
ing Dallas in a match race. The owner of
Dallas thinks different, and it is to be hoped
that the pair will meet. may add that all
of us would also like to see a contest between
Belle Hamlin and Rosalind Wilkes. Were
these two speedy mares to meet, two heats in
three, I should be disposed to think that
Belle Hamlin would win. However, If the
weather Is fine it may be expected that the
meeting will be successful one.

of them ought to be taken out and

THE democracy are sore over the
passage of the silver bill. The act
was purely republican measure, an
tagonized at every step by the demo-
Gratis, who seemed to sense the pres
tige that the passage of such q meas
ure would give the republican con-
gress and administration, and so
fought its passage at every turn. Now
that the bill is law the democrats are
striving to show that the measure is
not what the country needs, and that
free coinage is the one thing that is
required. Concerning this attitude OF
the democracy, Frank Leslie's Illus
trated says:
1--WE do not undertake to question
the political sagacity of the democrat
ic members of congress in unitedly
opposing the silver bill. They real
lied fall we'll that the effect of its
passage would be to increase national
prosperity. They thought no doubt
that by pressing the proposition OF
free coinage, which during all
the years they were in control
of the house of representatives
and executive never was Sc
riously suggested or considered,
they would prevent the enactment OF
a conservative and wise measure in
the interests of silver. Fortunately
this trick, inspired by partisanship.
failed to accomplish its purpose. lu

country simply to make party capital

deavor to protect themselves from

Upon this and all other acts of con-
gress the country will pass judgment,
and the republican party is not wor-
rying over the verdict. Democracy
