dav has caused quite a sensation in sporting
circles throughout the country. All testimony
yoes to show that his record of running 100
wards in 81 seconds is correct and this gives
him the best rec rd in the world.
The race was really a contest between Carey
and r. +, RamsdeIl. The latter had four yards
start of Carey and is considered able to beat
even time. Carey realized the pnssibillry of
Rlmsdell heating him and made the most des-
peTate effort of hIs life. He broke the tape
line at exactly 915 seconds each of the three
watches Of the timers agreeing. The length of
the track was questioned and Carey called for
4 measurement. H. 5. ). Smith, professor in
the School of Science at Princeton, measured
the track and found the exact distance to be

New YORK. October ia special cable
from London to the Herald gives the following
letter from Frank Slavin:
II must say that am more than surprised to
hear the remarks Sullivan has passed of late
regarding the championship. If he is the
champion, that is wishes TO be called so, why
don't he fight me? AS rule. champions ac-
cept bona fide challenges. How far has Sulli-
van done this ? Last December 1 challenged
Sullivan for FL 900 side, but he laughed at the
idea of my challenging him for such small
stake and pooh-poohed it.
'Now, readers of the world of sport, this is
how Sullivan has changed! Some months ago

he had come out within the last couple OF

his performances have been in stopping men IN

THE Western Racing Circuit next year may
have another addition, as it is lust possible that
there will be race meeting held in Cleveland.
A number of enthusiasts there have decided to
make the venture, and while they know that they
can get all the horses required the only doubt is
the returns from the betting being heavy enough
! to pay the purses. Such meeting should prove a
success in the latter part of June, when there is
little racing in this vicinity and at time
when the Western performers not up to winning
form at Washington Park are idle.
THE rule under which the New York Jockey
Club justified the decision as to Biazon being 4
starter is as follows: In all cases. horses must be
struck out 80 minutes before the time appointed
for the race to be run. and from that moment all
horses remaining in shall be considered starters,
as far as the betting is concerned. But the cluD
| is the only one at present that enforces such a
| rule. With other associations a horse is not a
starter until he has been given position at the
i post.

DRAWING TO A CLOSE.

Only Four Unfinished Topics Confront the
Convention Tinkerers.
JACKSON, Miss, October 19.-It seems
to be generally conceded that the Consti-
tutional Convention will have completed its
labors and adjourned by November at
arthest. That impression is confirmed by
the quick work made on Saturday with the
report of the Franchise Committee.
There are but four more subjects to be
disposed of-corporations, bill of rights,
general provision and levees-on all of
which, except the last named. elaborate re-
ports have been filed. Thus far the
Farmers Alliance has not left its impress
upon the work OF the convention. One Of
its pet measures, an elective judiciary, has
been nnceremoniously trampled under foot,
but there are indications that its spirit will
be reflected in the article on corporations.

POLITICS AND THE CENSUS.

An Official Says Partisan Enumerators We're
Appointed.
,rRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, October 19.-An official
of the Census Office said to your correspond
ent tonight that be had been asked to con-
tribute to the Republican campaign fund.
He said the request was put in such way
that re usal would set men to thinking that
their bread and butter were at stake "The
Census Bureau" said he, sis a political
and personal machine. The appointments
were mostly made upon the recommends
tions of Senators and Representatives in
Congress. There was, and is, no civil
service nonsense. The appointments OF su-
pervisors in the cities were purely political,
and the supervisors-some of them at least
picked out Republican enumerators.
"In New York Supervisor Murray called
on the local Republican organizations to
recommend enumerators, and so il was in
many other cities. You ought to see some
of the enumerators' returns from the South.
They are daisies. Such spelling and such
figuring was never seen before in Govern
ment bureau. There will be worse howl
from the South than there has been from
New York City, when all the figures from
that section are published"

Gently been arrested by the police for

on account OF their youth and the small
value OF their takings they have not been

different matter. There are several conditions
that will be insisted upon by our side. and one
is that the name of the leading League shall be
