Chicago's Trottinx Meeting Closes and
suuol Does n Great Feat.
WASHINGTON PARK CHICAGO. August2a-
To-day's events closed the weeks races and the
meeting of the Northwestern Breeders Trot-
ting and Pacing Association. 1t can safely be
said that financially the success of the meeting
has been one of profit To the public it has
been very satisfactory and pleasing. The man.
agement have exercised great care and ex-
cellent judgement in their endeayor to please
the people, In their starter, Mr.. A. d.
Hancock. they have had a gentleman who has
been earnest and sincere IN his work, and it
must be said that at no other place has there
cases. almost phenomenal starts. To this is due
the great confidence given this gentleman by
the drivers who knew that when the word "go"
was given that no one was to have the best of
the starter their relative positions warranted
the word.
The card for each day has been of excellent
order, bringing out good horses in the hands of
the most noted drivers in the world. Four
races were on the card for to-day's programme,
with the unfinished race of yesterday. the Sec
ond race being that of Sunol the famous Cali
fornia mare. who started to beat the 4-year-old
der, and the record of Maud s if possible.
At 4:05 P. M. Sunol came past the stand
driven by the veteran. Charles Marvin. After
scoring once Sunol came down very fast, Mar
vim nOdding his head for the word. which he
got as the mara reached the wire. The pace to
the first quarter was terrific for first quarter,
going the distance in 81 seconds, or a 20S gait.
From this to the half the mare seemed to lose
her speed, reaching the half pole in 1867, but
this time seemed to indicate her speed, as she
went to the three-Quarters in 1:39 and home in
2:l0%. Marvin urged her greatly in the last
quarter This time equals her performance as
q 3-year-old. The fourth race, free-for-all trot-
ting. was called off on account of darkness.

WHEELING, August 23.-The Wheeling
Terminal Company has just been incor-
porated for the purpose of building termi-
nails for the railroads at Wheeling, W. Va.
1t is proposed to build complete set Of
terminals. including yards, roundhouses
and shops, and depot in the center of the
city. The necessary bridges across the Ohio
river are now building, and all the
property required has been secured.
The organization of this company is the
result of the antagonism of Colonel George
P. Bissell and the Union Bridge and Ter
minal Company of Wheeling to the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie Railway. The competi-
tion between the two terminal companies
will be bitter. The entire issue of 81, 600, 900
of the bonds of the Union Bridge and Ter
minal Company is held in New England,
the largest amount probably being held in
Hartford, the home of Colonel Bissell.
The Union Bridge and Terminal Company
has almost completed its work, but has no con-
tracts with any railroad whereas the Wheel
ing Terminal Company has already secured
contracts with several of the railroad CON-
panies intending to use the terminals.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
BUFFALO, August 22 - Local sports are
greatly worked up over the recently issued
order prohibiting glove contests in Erie county.
The Arlington Athletic Club signified its inten-
tion of fighting the order. but has finally aban-
doned the idea. The sports are discouraged
and are leaving town in large numbers. The
numerous glove fights given here during the
past winter and spring have been the cause OF
the city's being overrun with fighters and pugi-
lists of every description, and it was TO clear
them out rather than to discourage sport that
the recent order was issued. The good had to
60 with the bad Of course.
Buffalo has been stamping ground for bum
pugilists for long time, and the newspaper
columns have been filed with challenges near
ly every week.
Tommy Warren the clever little California
pugilist, is still in the city. He has played in
hard luck, having been "done" out Of two
fights within the last three months. The first
was to have been with the St. Paul Kid, but he
was taken i'll while IN training. and the fight
was declared off. The other was to have been
fought early in September with Prof. W illiams.
of Boston, but the recent order will prevent the
meeting. The fight has been declared off Ike

letic clubs have got to 90. too. There is not

LEXINGTON, KY, August 23.-Owing to
the heavy fall of rain this has been poor
week for the trotters to show their speed, at
least since Wednesday. Monday and Tues
day, however, the weather and tracks were
good, and some fast work was done. About
the best trial. was that Of Angelina, the 4
year-old Wilkes Boy, flly. She went
mile in 2:1SZ. and did it with ease at that.
General Wilkes, gr. b., by George Wilkes,
dam by Peacock, went an easy nile in 2:24,
some Of the watches making it 2:2415. He
showed his old-time courage and splendid way
Of going. Should no accident befall him, he
ought to lower his present record (221az) be-
fore the racing season closes.
In an interview with Judge Irving Halsey,
the well known exponent of the strictly trot-
ting-bred theory, that gentlemen had the fol-
lowing to say about the defeat of Jack by
Palo Alto. at Buffalo: II see some of the
papers are rather unduly jubilant over the
recent victory of Palo Alto over Jack at
Buffalo. 1t Is doubtless somewhat of conso-
lation for them to know that the half-bred
staDion Iia made amends to certain extent for
his defeat at Detroit, but it is rather premature
for them to indulge in excessive hilarity over
the event. That Palo Alto is
A GREAT HORSE
no one disputes, but 1t lis lnow .settled at least
for the present, that as heat winner in long
race he is not the equal of the grey son of
Pilot Medium when both horses are at their
best. At Detroit Palo Alto showed that he was
in prime condition by winning very fast heat,
and yet he was beaten in the race. At Buffalo
Jack was very far from being in firsr-rate con-
dition. Jacks feet are notoriously trouble
some, and the Buffalo track has never suited
him. That the conditions were not favorable
to Jack is amply proved by the fact
that he was only as good as second
in the heat In my Judgment there
are several horses in the country that
will beat Palo Alto in a three in five race.
Stanboul would have at least even chances
with him. Axtell ought to beat him hands
down. and although there is considerable diff
ference in their records. 1t is no two-to-one
that the deeply trotting-bred Prince Regent
would not do up' the California champion in
handsome style. Unless Prince Regents SER
vices in the stud this season Should prevent
his being kept in condition, he is destined to
make low mark before the winter frosts set
in. He is a very dangerous competitor for the
Hartford $4,000 stake. Whenever Jack is
right he will need no odds in his favor in q
contest with Palo Alto. The ''speed-sustain-
ing blood" of Pilot Medium will be sufficient
to carry him to victory"

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
PHILADELPHIA, August 23.-The Phfllies
defeated the Pittsburg National League team
again to-day, the score being to O. The game
was devoid of interest although some pretty
plays were made, the most notable being rum
ming catch of q low liner from Heard's bat.
Gray also made a neat catch, taking a foul
from Wilson'S bat. If there was any feature to
the game it was the pitching Of Smith His
delivery yielded but two hits and he struck out
eight men. His report was very steady and
clean.
Two facts that tended to draw out the 20a
people who attended the game was the ap-
pearance of that fine fielder, W. A. Sunday. in
Philadelphia uniform, and the appearance in
the box for the visitors of Esper, the young
uptown twirler recently released by the Ath-
letics. Sunday had little to do. and hence very
limited chances to make a brilliant debut.
Esper has not played ball for hearty a month,
and was a trifie rusty, although but seven bat
terry errors are charged against him. he said
after the game that he did not have control of
the ball. His pitching was very effective, Gray
and Smith being the only men who could do
much with his delivery. Seven hits were
made off him. but three of these were of a very
doubtful quality. Not run was earned off his
delivery. He was not signed to-day, but is to
meet President O'Nel on Monday, when he
may be signed. 90. -.-- -...--a .-~

Father Scheipp. the young assistant pastor of
st. Xavier's Catholic Church, saved q train
loaded with passengers from horrId disaster.
The reverend gentleman was returning from q
visit to parishioner, and was walking on the
track of the Ohio River Railroad, when
about a mile below town at sharp bend in the
road below which was a steep embankment, he
found a COW lying on the track.
The COW had been struck by train which
had passed a short time before. The COW was
not dead, and in her struggles worked her body
back on the track. Knowing that the north
bound train was nearly due. the priest made
great effort to get the animal OF the track, but
was unsuccessful. He then ran back to
house and got little lantern. with which he
returned just in time to hear the whistle of the
up train. By frantcally swinging the light the
priest succeeded in attracting the attention of
the engineer and stopping the train within .
few feet of the animal.

Ordinarily drummers are very funny fellows,
but when Is of them get on to a base ball field
something more than q circus is seen. Yester-

their sides ached at game that was played at
Recreation Park between the Pittsburg Drum
mers and the Drummers of Cleveland. The
home representatives were badly beaten. and
nothing they could do in the way of talking,
kicking or intimidation could prevent their be-
ing walloped by the Cievelanders.
There were some remarkable features in the
game, the most notable being Mr.. Haucher's
slide. He slid from first to second base, and
dodged the entire opposing nine. Gilman
played third base for the visitors in a way that
would make Denny envious. The Pittsburgers
only got two runs but they could have gotten
more if Eichorn and Davis the Cleveland bat
terry had been out of the way. "Morrls," of the
home team, got big hilton the head. He was
