Filemaker Champion of the Jumping
Horses, Clearing Feet Ia Inches.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.l
CHICAGO, November 7.-Filemaker is king Of
thr jumpers. and Roseberry no longer reigns.
Iha gallant dun gelding was dethroned at the
horse show last night by the big, rawboned
l"rse who once figured in a coal cart. File
maker cleared feet Il inches, beating Rose
bcrry's record of Z feet inch at Toronto, and
eel ;nSed his own previous best performance of
feet SIS inches. 1t was grand bit of work
for Filemaker, for he carried nearly $50 pounds,
while Roseberry didn't have more than l35
pounds on his first trial. but the second time
cleared it cleanly. Maud retired. and the jump
was put up to 6 feet inches. Roseberry went
over. but in very slovenly way, while File
maker cleared it In great style, and the bars
were raised to feet 81 inches. This time
Rose berry broke half a dozen rails at his first
attempt, and did the same on the second trial.
The third time, however, he went over like
bird.
Filemaker cleared it grandly at the first at
tempt amid wild cheers. The bar was at feet
10 inches and Roseberry failed to clear it after
five trials. Fllemaker cleared 1t beautifully at
the first attempt Roseberry was now out of it
and the jump was put up to feet u inches for
Filemaker to beat the record. The excitement
was intense the noble horse came at the
jump. He could not quite get up and crash
went the two top rails. Grim and determined
looked the rider as he sent the brown at the
jump the second time with CHEEKY shout A
tight grip OF the knees and one cut of the whip,
he raised the old horse at the bars and gallantly
did the animal respond. With ears pricked
forward Filemaker rose at the mighty barrier
and as he flew over it yell burst from the
thousands assembled that nearly lifted the roof
from the building.

rpEc1AL TKLEGRAM 10 THE DIsPArcH.l
LIMA, November 7.--There is an inter-
esting story told of the way the politicians
worked the Amish settlement in Holmes
county. AS is well known, these people are
very clannish. The Democratic managers en-
gagged a number of mel to rig up old wag-
ons, stock them with tinwars. then 60
through the settlement and try to sell tin
ware at fabulous prices. They would go to
the Amish farmer and offer to sell him a B.
cent tin cup for 81, while an ordinary dish
pan was out of the reach of even million
aire.
When the paralyzed farmer would kick
he was told that was the best that could be
done under the circumstances; that the Nc
Kinley bill had so increased the price of
everything that they could not sell at
lower figures. Once the Anlish got this
idea in their heads the most eloquent of Re-
publican speakers could not convince them
of the contrary. They would shake their
heads sullenly, confer together and answer:
"We saw the men ourselves; they bad the
tinware with them.''
In despair the Republicans fought to the
end, and there is little doubt the tin ped
dlers contributed to the defeat of the cham
plon of protection.

FOOTBALL GOSSIP.

The Harvard Players Jubilant Over Their
Defeat of the Wesleyans.
CAMBRIDGE. November I'm the football
world the past few days have been fraught
with great deal of interest In the first place
Captain Cumnock is back again in his old posi-
zion at end rush and playing, 100, with a
good deal Of vim and enthusiasm to make up
for his last two or three weeks. True, he did
not niav in Wednesdays game with Wesleyan,
hut lie has practiced daily. and played in Satur-
days game with Cornell. Another welcome ad-
GitiOu 10 the rush line and an added strength
is Perry Tratford, who is practicing at his old
position Of guard
Harvard men are at present rather iubilapt
over the score their team made against Wes-
lryau, 80 to O. since they remember that ale
IN her last game with Wesleyan but a week or
so ago succeeded in scoring but 81 points. Of
course comparison of scores is not a sure way
10 judge the relative value of two teams. but it
goes great way. and ii Is certainly a fact for
Nale men to reflect upon. that in no case has
Yale beaten any team as dec idedly as Harvard
has.
There is one football man who has come rap-
idly forward In the past few DAYS and that is
Tommy SheTwln, a freshman. AT the begin
ming Of the season he was barely thought of III
connection with the Varsity eleven. but he has
shoJ forward SO rapidly into star of the first
magnitude tnat he rs almost sure of being one
OF the two half-hscks at Springfield. Sherwln
Is a wonderful dOdger-his equal in this re-
spect has seldom been seen He also runs re-
that Is saying great deal. HIS only drawback
is his lightness but even this will he no draw
back if he continues 20 play in the remarkably
skILIfui way he has GoEe SO far.
Outside Of football topics the chief event of
interest has been the wonderful success of a
freshman, f. b. Bloss in track athletics. At
tie freshman meeting held YESTERDAY Bloss
broke ;he Harvard record for the running
broad Jump, p feet 10 inches being his lump
the best pTeViou, record being q feet 6 inches
Bloss also won the 100 yards dash in 10 Is sec
OIds As If this were not enough for one
freshman IN a week, Bloss capped the climax
this afternoon by breaking the worlds record
for running. hop, step and jump. making the
extraordinary Jump of IL feet llI5 inches Har-
ward men predict great things foI him.
On Saturday. November S, the Harvard Uni
versIty Cycling Association will hold an anna
rcur race meet open to all colleges, schools and
the =. A. A., on Holmes field. The usual
events wlll be held, and two medals will be
gwen in each event.

MIR. TALcOTT's STATEMENT.

He Expresses Himself Regarding John NJ.
Ward and the Players League.
NEW YORK. November I'm reply to the
statement of John NJ. Ward to the effect that
Mr. Taleott is a weakener, Mr.. Talcott says:
81 would like to know why Mr.. Ward made
such statements, and why he is going about
saying that l am the one who is responsible
for matters as they now are. Patience some
times ceases to be virtue. Mr.. Ward is one of
the best ball players in the country, but when
he attempts to step in and tell me how to con.
duct my financial affairs think it is about time
to call halt. allow no man to dictate to me
in that respect, and know that every business
man feels the same on this point as do. Mr..
Ward is S., ,00C ahead on the season. He owns
ten shares of stock in the New ork club and
ten in the Brooklyn club, their total par value
being 81, 700. He received salary of S. 000 and,
surprising his stock is wiped out, he still has
$1,000 But where do / come in? Have made
anything on the season? While Mr.. Ward is
ahead 5000, it has cost me S.. 600 month to
keep the club going. 1t has cost Colonel Nc
Alpin over SIS, 900. And do you think 1 can allow
Mr.. Ward or anybody else to tell me that must
keep on paying out money. while they are
making something out of it and l am losing? /
have refrained from speaking heretofore in re-
gard to these matters. but confess that the at
tempts to dictate how shall spend my money
are irritating"

CANADIAN BARLEY.
An Opinion Upon the Yield and Effect of
the Mckinley Bill.

An Opinion Upon the Yield and Effect of
the Mckinley Bill.
TORONTO, November PROF. Saunders Di-
rector of Dominion Experimental Farms,
Ottawa, is in town, and is staying at the Queens
Hotel. His special mission here is to obtain
samples of barley for analysis and to examine
the crops and see what movement there is in
the way of expectation. When questioned by
your representative yesterday Prof Saunders
said that the yield this year in both six-rowed
and two-rowed barley was two pounds lighter
per bushel than last year. so that decrease of
2cents per bushel result ed this year, for which
allowance was to be made He continued:
Il find that in spite of the Mckinley bill
there have been already considerable ship
ments of six-rowed barley. The price obtained
is Is cents less per bushel than before the pass
age of the bill, but as the duty has increased 20
cents per bushel the producer does not pay all
the cost If this is the state of affairs i'm
mediately after the bill, when the American
market is in a receptive state. it is evident
that when things are settled down better prices
will be obtained. l found to-day that one firm
was making two shipments of six-rowed this
week to the United States, one OF 20 600 and the
other of Il, 600 bushels. The prices obtained
were So cents for No. l. so cents for No. 2, and
45 cents for No. extra. 1t is thus pretty clear
that barley can be sent to the United States at
a fair profit. The present prices for good first
quality two-rowed is IS cents. and so cents for
a second quality. These prices are not con-
sidered to be poor, and are not such as ever to
kill the growth"

Meanly Treated by the Owner.
NASHVILLE, November I'm regard to the
sensational story emanating from the Califor-
mia turfman, E. ]. Baldwin. in regard to Jockey
Pike Barnes, published in an Eastern sporting
paper, that noted rider treats the subject as
follows:
my contract with E. ]. Baldwin this year
was to ride for him for the sum of $500, the
contract to end with the West Chester meeting,
October 10. On September IL at noon Dow
Williams, Mr.. BaldwIn's trainer, notified Hor-
ace Jackson, my valet, that Mclaughlin would
ride Sinaloa that afternoon in the Sheepshead
stakes. This was the first intimstlon had OF
the fact that was not to ride that race, where
upon l notified L. H. Rush, the agent Of the
stable. that desired an interview with Mr..
Baldwin, and was told l could not see him Tor
two weeks. During that time l rode Los An
geles and Sinaloa, and Mr.. Rush told me Mr..
Baldwin was sorry for his action, and wished to
engage me for next year. This proposition
promptly declined. Had there not been
monetary difference between us L would have
quit at that time. After Nestchester they
wanted me to go TO Linden and Elizabeth, but
as they paid me S., 500 of the $4,000 then due me,
and therefore only owed me $500, l refused to
go to the Jersey tracks, my contract having
been fulfilled with Mr. Baldwin and told ms
manager if they did not want to settle up they
could keep the $780, which they certainly could
have done. Mr.. Baldwin still owing Inc that
amount.
81 have signed next year for first call with d.
T. Pulsifer. In regard to my gidihg have
ridden over 100 winners this year. one-1Ourth of
my mounts and to make that record think any
sane person will agree that jockey must at all
times do his best on the horse he rides. The
racing public expects too much of a favorite
jockey these times. tell you when l am beaten
in race it is up and up, so far as riding is con-
cerned, and the defeat is the fault of the horse
or the owner who may have him dead under
me- Some of these wrirerswho are giving me
notoriety as the seasons disappointment. and
casting slurs upon my integrity and honor. bet
ter watch their fences sharply as may yet ask
them to prove these charges before higher
court than the racing public, who get sore on
any jockey who is unlucky enough to ride
losing race or SO on some favorite horse.

Trio of Applicants Working for the Bed
ford PostOff1ce.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
BEDFORD. PA, Novembsr 7.-Since Tuesday
the fight for the Bedford postoffice is being
waged with unusual vigor. The latest applicant
is Marion Cessna son of e1-Copgressman
John Cessna. The other applicants are B. F.
Mann. one of the proprietors of the Republican
organ of the county, and Mrs. James Dallas
who is backed by James McManus. the Repub-
lican leader of Philadelphia. Mr.. Cessna only
announced his intention Of being an applicant
for the position on the arrival of his father
from Ebensburg on Thursday preceding
the election. where he failed to get
the nomination for Congress after battle of
over 500 ballots 1t is rumored that deal was
consummated there between Congressman
Scull and dex-Congressman Cessnawhich brought
about the nomination of Scull and in return
Cessna was to have his son appointed post
master.
The principal objection to Mrs. Dallas as an
applicant is that she is not resident of the
town, she being a resident of the township.
Both Cessna and Mann have been circulating
petitions to-day, and as the fight progresses it
promises to be interesting, as both will have
strong political backing.
