viii Catch 1t at Fort Sullivan.
CHARLESTON, S. C. Oct. Charleston q
gala week was opened with ringing of the
''Star-Spangled Banner" by the bells of st.
Michaels Church to-day. All the shipping
in port was handsomely decorated and the
Stars and Stripes float from the peak of
every nast. The principal business streets
have been profuseIy decorated with bunt-
ing and the flags OF all nations, but "Old
Glory" has the place of honor in every dis
play. There is not a single Confederate
flag in sight.
This morning Commander Brownson, of
the Dolphin, and Lieutenant Schroeder, of
the Vesuvius, paid their respects to Mayor
Ficken and were extended the freedom of
the city. At o'clock the officers of the
dainty lunch by the Gala Week Assoc;a-
tion at the st. Charles Hotel.
Thousands of visitors are expected in
Charleston this week. Tonight there is a
beautiful display of fireworks. In defer
ence to the alleged disturbed condition of
political sentiment in certain quarters, it is
proposed to change the bombarbment of
Fort Sumter, provided for Thursday night,
to the bombardment of Fort Sullivan about
the time of the American revolution, when
Sir Peter Parker, of the British forces, put
to sea under fire from guns OF Fort Sulli-
van. The naval officers will not take part
in the bombardment of Fort Sullivan nor

IMPORTANT TO AMATEURS.

The L. A. w. Racing Board Has q Diff
cult Question to Tackle.
NEW YORK, OCT. 3l.-Since the meeting of
the Racing Board of the League Of Amerf-
can Wheelmen, held at Chicago last week,
much speculation has been indulgod in as to
the decision arrived at regarding the anna
teur question. There has been preserved q
decided silence by all the members of the
board bearing on this subject, which is of
such vital importance to the membership Of
the organization at large That change
has been decided upon is admitted, and only
the necessary care which must be exercised
in formulating the wording of the new rules
accounts for the reticence displayed on the
subject.
There are to-day in the amateur fold Of
the League of American Wheelmen two
classes OF racing men-the fast, and, conse-
quently, promlnent riders, who take ad-
vantage of the loose provision of the pres
thereby, and the amateur whose lack OF
any great speed relegates him to a minor
position in the racing world, and who pro-
portionately has no market value. The
former class are regularly paid by the man
ufacturer to ride his make of wheel through
the medium OF various clubs, who put out
the racing teams under their colofs ana
names.
These men are admittedly receiving the
same support as the amateur who lacks the
advantage of frst-class trainers and all ex-
peHSeS pdlu his, Drleuy, Is Ine ouiy ouo
which confronts the racing board, and
solution of the difficulty is not easy to ar
rive at. 1t is plain that the men must be
separated, in justice to all, that an equal
basis must be established, and yet not split
the organization upon the rock of profess
sionalism. At present the amateur rule is a
farce, and the powers that be cannot ignore
the fact that while it is not possible, except
in rare cases, to proclaim men professional
under it's provisions all the evils OF makers
amateurism prevail. The change necessary
is OF a constitutional nature and such action
is dependent upon the favor of the National
Assembly at constitutional convention
called for the purpose, and the powers of
the racing board begin and end with the
offering of suitable amendments, which will
be taken care of by the present board.
These amendments will be the result of
careful study, derived from the experience
OF the past season, which has been the most
energetic in the history of the League. From
what can be learned, the changes that will
be advised by the racing board will not in
clude q Recommendation for cash prizes.
They are steadfastly opposed to such so
luton of the question, and believe that the
method will simply precipitate the down
fall of the organization. W hich has been built
up to its present prominent position by IL
years of progressive management.

byserian Church was followed by the with
drawal OF the members OF that church. who
had parts, which culminated in the
abandonment of the play. In his sermon
last night, Pastor Ledyard started out by
saying that the opposition of his church to
the play, and its abandonment, had caused
more excitenent than the Presidential cam
paign, and that the entertainments, like
Samson, produced more of sensation by its
death than its life. He said the intolerable
accusations by certain persons who were
advising boycott of his church forced him
to explain why the session had advised the
young people to withdraw from the sinful
play against which the General Assembly
has spoken; that their highest Judiciary had
spoken against card playing and dancing.
and the members should respect their
authority

Buck Ewing for Richardson.

WASHINGTON. Oct. aL-According to the
latest baseball story here, Buck Ewing is to
become q member of the local team. an
agreement having been ma de between the
wagners and the New York management to
that effect 1t Is understood, also, that
Danny Richardson is to return to the New
Yorks as part of this DEAL and that good
stiff price has been promised for the king of
second basemen and shortstops 1t has been
suggested that by this means Richardson
could be prevailed upon not to push his
threatened suit against the local msnage-
ment ior advance money paid to him The
local patrons of the game are up in arms
against such a deal as has been pronosed
They contend that IL Ewing is not good
enough for New York, he certainly Will not
benefit Washington, for new and stronger
players are needed to keep them out of the
last hole. One thing is certain. however:
the Wagners will have to stir themselyes
considerably to retain the confidence of the
lovers of the national pastime in this city.
