NEW YORK, JUNE 9.-[SpecfdL 1.-The Tobog-
gan Slide handicap should be a great contest
at Morris Park tomorrow. 1t would be
greater with an absolutely drv track for the
sprinters to race on, but Russell, Tourna-
| ment, Correction. Fairy, Maidstone and Tor
menter are equally at home in the mud or
on a lightning last course, so that the race is
bound to be interesting. Tournament is q
horse of marvellous speed and he revels in
the mud, so the SIN names him to win,
although he has not raced in public in
almost year. The pick of the Morris pair
(Russell or Correction) may run second. The
Bay Chester stakes looks like good thing
for Roller, and Kennebec may second, as he
is much better colt than his races would
lead the public to believe. Miles StandiSh
should win the opening event, with Court
ship second. Rex should win the second,
with Fidelio in second place. and the public
will have chance to see whether Mendicant
is as good filly as Raindrop as the pair
meet in the fourth race at even weights.
Raindrop on public form should win with
out any trouble. Kirl>over and Gettysburg
should be worthy of support in the last; in
with jockey in the saddle. Entries:
First race. FIVE furDngS-Sir Richard, Prince
George. Miles Standish, Lindsay, Gaiety Ill,

GREAT DISASTERS PASS UAHEEDED.

| ing itself out, but not another topic has
| been discussed at either the hotels or in
other much frequented places. 1 have
| talked with many persons, but have heard
nothing of politics, business or ought save
the dread Oil creek disaster.
The relief corps is doing excellent work.
and is relieving countless suffering people
in the way of food and clothes and other
necessaries The corps is protected from
impostors by the small size of the place, as
everybody knows everybody else, and
tramps are most summarily dealt with.
The much needed contributions continue to
come in from the sympathizing outer world,
and are put to the most advantageous use.
A new order of things went into effect to-
day towards protecting the city from dis
reputables, by the guards ordering all sus-
picious looking persons out OF the city
limits and warning them against returning.
One body of 26 villainous looking men were
sent from the city this morning within half
an hour after they arrived upon Valley
freight train. One of the County Commls-
sioners of Crawford county was in the city
to-day, and said the county would sustain
loss of from $40, 900 to $50, 900 from the flood
by the destruction of bridges. Twenty-Five
wagon bridges were washed away at loss
of from 81, 200 to $4,000 each.
Pathetic Stories of Bravery.
Stories of sweet psthos, rare bravery, mar
row escapes and singular instances OF faml-
lies reunited after days of separation con-
tinuc to come in. Perhaps the most pa
thetic of all is the case of Mrs. and Mr..
John Chawke, both of whom were burned to
death and were buried in the same grave.
In life they were separated, runs the story.
and had not lived together for many months.
In the walk of death during the terrible dis
aster both souls went out, and the grieving
relatives had both bodies laid in one grave.
Another pathetic instance was that of the
Terwilliger family. Three of the boys are
dead, fourth still lives. The old gray
haired father, long past the sixth decade of
life, remains about the street with an ex-
preston of terrible grief upon his face.
For 15 years he has been estranged from his
sons, although the filial love. in his old
heart is, and has been, as strong as it was
when his boys were children.
1 talked with the old gentleman at the
cemetery to-day as the mutilated form of
his second son was exposed toathe gaze of
the curiously morbid throng Of people who
stood about and his simple words as he told
of his great sorrow were peculiarly affect
ing. He did not mention a word of displeas-
ure or anger at the cause of the old origi-
nal trouble of long years ago. His language
was of parental sorrow-deep, pure and af-
fecting. The tale is near told The missing
are being found, and soon nothing but the
ghastly memory will live. WEST.

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS.
Billy Delaney Outlines a System of Training
for Corbett.

Billy Delaney Outlines a System of Training
for Corbett.
NEW YORK, June 9.-Billy Delaney, James
Corbett's trainer, has agreed upon a course
of training for Corbett for his fight with
Sullivan. 1t is as follows He will arise
each morning at o'clock. After light
shower bath he will get a thorough rubbing
with soft towels. Then he will loiter around
until O'Clock at which time breakfast will
be served. This meal will consist of tea,
rolls, chops, steak, etc. He will then rest
about an hour. At $50 o'clock he will take
walk of about four miles to the sea and re-
turn home in time for dinner which will be
served at 1890. This meal will be composed
of all kinds of vegetables, steak, chicken,
chops, beef, bread, toast, bowl of tea and
bottle of Bass ale. He will not eat pastry Of
any kind. After n rest of about an hour he
will don two sweaters. then take q sharp
walk of about Is miles, climb steep hills,
ETC., and will indulge in a brisk run back.
Following this he will punch the bag, skip
the rope, play hand bali, billiards and pool.
The next thing will be for him to lay on
his back and take couple of rolls on the
grass. When he gets through with this
some powerful man, who will be employed
for the purpose, will throw his arms around
Jim's neck and pull it until he is tired. This
will help strengthen the muscles located
there, which are very essential in fighting.
Jim DAILY, his sparring partner, will then
box couple OF rounds with him, and after
that the two will either go boating or play
baseball. After this Jim will rest until 6:30
when supper will be eaten. This will con-
sist of very light food. He will retire to bed
at ii O'Clock after indulging in some light
exercise. The reason why he will go to bed
SO late is simply this: His fight with Sulli-
van will not, I'm sure be pulled off until
about that time and If he was to go to sleep
at an earlier hour he would naturally be-
come used to 1t and feel kind of sleepy when
called upon to remain up a little later. So
you see l have taken every precaution to
get my man in splendid form. Ipredict that
Jim will be as perfect conditioned man as
ever stepped into ring.

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF TIE DAY

Once more rain vetoed the intentions of
our slugcers yesterday. They had fully
intended to be revenged on the Brooklyns
yesterday, but the clerk of the weather ar
ranged it otherwise. They may be so in
clined to-day, and it is to be hoped that if
the weather permits they will be able to
turn the tables on the wonders of Brooklyn.
1t is likely that two games will be played,
and while the chances are against their win
ming two games, it is possible for them to
do So
Yesterday afternoon a prominent official
of the club said: "We have had more than
our share of misfortunes but under the cir
cUmstances I am satisfied. Our team has
won the majority of games away from
home, and that is great thing to do. L
an, OF course, counting games that have
been scheduled to be played away from
home. This goes to show that if our
pitchers had kept all right we would have
had one of the best teams in the league.
Just rely on what 1 say: We will have a
first-claSs team here before the season is
ended.
Rain continues to bother us financially,
but we are sure that in the second half OF
the season things will be much better. l
cannot say what Captain Burns is doing re-
gsrding getting new men. He has full
charge, and l feel confident that he will do
the best that can be done. / hardly believe
that he will sign O'Connor, as he is a left
handler, and we don't want too many of that
kind. 1t seems to me that one or two clubs
in the League are in a position to help out
the weaker brethren. When Baltimore
asked us for help we responded, and Mr.
Byrne of the Brooklyn Club, stated then
that he would let Baltimore have two pitch
ers Mr.. Byrne has not done so yet,
although the committee that distributed
players gave him the best of it. This grasp
ing spirit is going to have a ruinous effect
on the organization. There was little or no
fairness shown in the distribution of play
eTs and since then the strong clubs prefer
to keep good men warming the bench rather
than let them go and help weak team. All
this will be dealt with sooner or later"
1t Was stated in local baseball circles
yesterday that there is to be meeting of
the magnates in this city next week to dis
cuss the situation. The magnates of the old
Association clubs want something done to
eQualize matters.
4 dispatch from Baltimore last evening
stated that Messrs Reach, Wagner, Won der
Abe and Won der Horst had held a meeting
there and formulated plans for the Pitts
burg meeting.

Young Ladies' Inaugurase New Structure
in Williamsburg.
An important social event took place in
the new Methodist Episcopal Church, Will
kinsburg, last evening. 1t was a supper
given by the Young Ladies' Aid Society, in
the new ediice, and was the first time the
church has been used for anything. The
building is not finished, but the ladies dec
grated the rough interior with June roses,
so that one hardly noticed the presence of
plaster and the absence of proper flooring
and ecclesiastical furniture. There were six
tables all banked up with the fragrant
blossoms, and well supplied with dainties
for the refreshment of the inner man-and
woman. The desire to see the new church
the handsomest in Wilkinsburg-as we'll
as to assist in paying something toward the
building fund, drew q very large attend
ance last night. There was no regular pro-
gramme. but plenty of social enjoyment.
The flower booth was in charge of Mrs.
Storer and Miss Stricken. Ice cream table
No. 1 was presided over by Miss Smith,
while No. was in charge of Miss Roberts.
The candy stand was cared for by Misses
House and Statenfeld. The supper tables
