ANOTHER FOR DALLAS.
The Pittsburg PAGER Wins the $4,000
Stake at Hartford.
THE THIRD HEAT PACED IN 2:14.
Good Racing at the Uniontown Fair and
Wabash Wins the Big Race.
BIG DAY AT rERRE HAUTE TRACK

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
HARTFORD, CONN, August 29.-There
was some great racing at the grand circuit
meeting at Charter Oak to-day, and the
Pittsburg PAGER, Dallas, once more crowned
himself with glory. More than 5000 people
were present, and the weather was fine.
The track was in good condition, and specu-
lation in the pool boxes was heavy.
OF course the great event was the 2:20 pace,
for which purse of $4,000 was offered.
Dallas was the favorite, but many people
looked upon Bob Taylor as winner. Geers
certainly did let the latter loose, as he drove
Dallas out in the third heat to 2:14. Bob
Taylor, however, could do nothing with the
speedy Pittsburger, and the pair made the
pace so hot in the third heat that Chimes G
and Dodd Peet were distanced. Bob Taylor
made his effort in the third heat, but Dallas
was too good a staver, and won the race in
three straight heats.
The other races were also very interesting
and hetfinu livoly Tho mn, rieS.

,sPEoIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPATcH.:
BOSTON, August 29.-The Bostons turned
the tables on Hanlon's braves to-day and
routed them with fearful slaughter. Not a
run did they get, although they made as
many hits as are usually recorded in game,
Radbourne did his twirling for Boston, and
be kept hits so scattered that q run was out
of the question.
In the seventh inning, after two men had
been retired, Maui and Hurley hit safely,
and Maui reached. third, but that is the
nearest that any came to scoring. The Bos-
tons did some terrible slugging, having
total of % bases But in spite of that great
stick work only five of the eighteen runs
were earned. Maui was very wild, and his
poor work seemed to demoralize the other
men, Corcoran and Kuehne especially fumb-
ling at critical times.
The Bostons tired themselves running
around the bases, but they were glad of the
opportunity to fatten up their batting aver
ages. Following is the score:

ESPECIAL TELEGRAA 10 THE DI6TATCH.l
NEW YORK, August 2S.-The PIttsburg
National League team played its best game
of the season to-day. Reinforced by Ander-
son and Burke, late of the Philadelphia
National League team, the visitors even
surprised themselves. Brilliant playing
marked the contest all the way through.
Anderson was in fine form. The work he
did was highly creditable to him and if he
can keep it up the Pittsburg will certainly
win some games. 1t was through no fault
of his that the New Yorks took the game,
The run they got was not earned. Hornung
especially distinguished himself bv making
two running catches, while Basset evoked
the full lung power of eEery one present by
pulling down with one hand what would
surely have been a three-bagger when arun-
ner was on second base. 1t undoubtedly
saved the game for the New Yorks. Burke's
fielding was brilliant also.
Welch pitched most effectively. For six
innings neither side scored, although each
had men on second and third bases with no
one out. In the seventh inning Bassett hit
right for single, but ne was forced out
at second by Hornung. Denny planted the
ball to left for base, and as Jordan let
the ball go through his legs, Hornung
scored.
Miller was first up for the visitors in the
first inning. He hit for three bases. There
he stsid, as the next three batters fell easy
victims to Welch's curves. In the fifth
Burkett was hit terrible whack in the
face, which delayed the game. Bassett
hunted and reached his base. Both runners
were advanced on Hornung's sacrifice.
Denny, however, flied to Sales, and Welch
hit q grounder to Decker. This certainly
was good pitching for Anderson. After the
home team had scored in the seventh the
Pittsburgs started in to tie the score.
Decker reached first on Denny's tumble.
He went to second on Burke's sacrifice.
Jordan struck out, and then Bassett robbed
Decker of long hit by one-handed catch.
Alter two men were out in the ninth the
visitors got two men on bases, but they could
not score. The game was one of the quickest
ever played on the Polo grounds. Two
games will be played tomorrow. Baker re-
