about $4,000. and the largest prize ever
known On the trotting turf, is to be contest
ed for today at Terre Haute, Ind. Although

ably go to the post, the race apparently lies
between the two New York youngsters.

National Archery Associa ton.

The sixteenth annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Archery Association will occur in
this city this week, beginning Wednesday
and closing Friday. BY the courtesy of the
commandment of the arsenal the association
will hold its contests on the upper parade
near the new hospital. Owing to the recent
strike and the general disturbed condition
of business at the west but few bowmen
will come from that stronghold of archery
and but a small number of contestants from
without the District are expected. The at
tendance will, however be large enough to
make the matches interesting During the
earlier part of the season the Potomacs
have done faithful work, and this year will
be able to make a better showing than in
1887, when last the national meeting was
held here. The local archerS have been
shooting more evenly than formerly and
the present national champion has been
repeatedly defeated in the club contests
This adds much to the zest of the meeting
rs the outcome is decidedly uncertain. Mrs
Howell, for several years lady champion of
the United States, will be unable to be
present, but several excellent shots will
probably make close contest for first
place.
The gentlemen shoot at the ranges from
100 to 40 yards, while the ladies contest at
from 60 TO 30 yards, and these distances
will all be contested each of the first two
days. Friday will be devoted to the team
contests, in which the gentlemen shoot only
at 60 yards, the ladies using both the 80 and
40 yard ranges.

LATE SPORTING NEW S
The Crack Britannia Defeated BY the
Satanita.
Vigilant Was Not Prepared to Race
Today at COwes-western Ball
Clubs in the East.

RYDE, Isle of Wight. August 14.-The re-
gatta of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club
opened today with the race for the vice
commodore's cup, valued at 800. The Vigil
liant was entered, but, much to the disap-
pointment of all present, she did not start.
The Prince Of Wales has announced his in
tention of sailing on the Britannia in every
race this week in which she takes part.
1t was alleged that the owners of the Vigil
liant had not given the sailing committee of
the Royal Victoria Yacht Club the slightest
intimation of their intention not to race for
the vice commodore's cup, and the commit
tee had been waiting anxiously all the
morning for the Vigilant to appear At IL
O'Clock the following telegram from Mr.
Gould was received:
''Vigilant Is unable to start today, as all
her standing rigging has been taken Off and
has not yet been stretched properly
The morning was dull and heavy although
a fresh westerly breeze. promising a good
race was blowing. The dull weather and
sea mist. however. seemed likely to render
a view OF the race difficult from the shore
The Britannia appeared on the line with
the Satanita, and at gun fire a stifnsh
breeze yeering so as to make q westerly
start more satisfactory the sailing commit
tee ordered the yachts to start to the west
ward, the course-fifty mles-being west
ward to and around a mark boat on Cowes,
leaving 1t ON the starboard hand; thence
eastward, around a mark boat anchored
south or the light, leaving 1t to starboard
from there to and around the Mad light;
passing them from the north, and thence
westward, passing No Man Fort light to
port, and from there to Ryde pier; twice
around this course to complete the fifty
miles. .-,... -. -
IL was a close reach to the Cowes mark
boat, the Satanita forging rapidly ahead.
The Satanita won easily. Her lead over
the britannia never fell below two minutes
and was increased to four minutes at the
finish. "+ .-''''-
The course was covered in the remarka Bile
time OF over twelve miles on an average
per hour.

Col. Breckenridge spoke at Lexington, Ky.
yesterday afternoon to an audience Of
1900 people, fifty of them being women
Most of the women came from out of the
country. People were in the city from al
sections Of the state, and Col Breckin-
ridge was given an ovation after the speak
ing at his club rooms. He was introduced
by ex-State Treasurer Stephen c. Sharp
and although at times the applause was
hearty and prolonged, he showed some
weakness in confidence for reelection. His
friends had expected hundreds of women
and in this they were disappointed. Col
Breckinridge's camliaism managers sent to
Field Mcleod the $40 necessary to pay the
expenses of the primary election.

Negotiations for Mercer,

A rurnor was afioat yesterday to the eff
feet that Manager Hanlon was negotiating
for Mercer, and had offered Hawke, Inks
and $, 500 for the promising young Wash
ington pitcher that fooled the champions
some days ago. Mercer is a first-rate
pitcher, and while he was batted pretty
freely by the Orioles when they last met
him, he fooled the Bostons and other slug
ging teams. Mercer Is too good q pitcher
to waste his work with the tailenders, and
Washington is usually ready to trade a
good player If there is enough money in it.
With McMahon, Gleason and Mercer and
barring accidents and another batting
slump 1t would be good even bet that the
Birds would win the pennant in a walk.
Manager Hanlon, however, said last night
that there was no truth In the rumor, and
that no such deal was contemplated.-(Bal-
timore American).

During the fetes in London some time
ago IN honor of the officers Of the Ameri-
can cruiser Chicago which was then living
at Gravesend. the Prince of Wales ex-
pressed TO Admiral Erben and Can't, Mahan
desire to visit the cruiser the next time
she was at Cowes
ihe princes engagement to visit the Chi
cago on Saturday was fixed at a recent
dinner given on board the royal yacht os-
borne. Accordingly. the princes pinnaoe
arrived alongside the Chicago at exactly
sss Delis saturday. As he stepped aboard
the cruiser salute Of twenty-one guns
Was nred, the British ensign was hoisted
al the foretruck and the yards were man
ned by the crew.
Admiral Erben, Can't. Mahan. Iisutsnan,
Commander Potter and Lieut.. Glover greet
ed the royal party as they came aboard the
ship. The Prince of Wales wore the uni
form OF British admiral and the Duke Of
York that or a post captain, while the men,
bers of the princes suite were attirec in
the uniforms of their respective ranks A
guard of marines was drawn up ON the
port side of the quarter deck. and they
Were carefully inspected by the prince. The
sun was shining brightly, and the bril-
liant uniforms and sncw-white decks made
a most picturesque SCENE.
AT the request of the prince all the off,
GERS OF the Chicago were presented to him
In turn The royal party was then escorted
to all the different parts of the ship ex-
cept the sick bay. The latter part of the
ship the prince especially desired to see
but was unable 20 do so owing to the acct
dent that had occurred to Seaman Hill who
had fallen from aloft just as the prince was
boarding the vessel. The prince rema rk ed
that he understood that the American med
ioai department was the best equipped of
any in the world.
The members of the royal party repeat
edly expressed their admiration Of the
splendid appearance and cleanliness of the
vessel.
On quitting the Chicago the Prince of
Wales expressed the pleasure that his visit
had afforded him.
The officers and crew of the Chicago are
elated with the success of their boats crew
In Fridays regatta, as they beat several
heretofore unbeaten crews. Some feeling
Is expressed at the GOODNESS displayed by
the spectators ashore. The men declare
that had a British boat won a victory in

given a far better reception than was given
to them.

Allentown Will Not Descrt.

AfcHto"n " III MOI Desert.
The Allentown club will not desert the
Pennsylvania State League to ally itself
with the Eastern League. Kelly has been
importuned to connect himself with the
latter organization, but he said nay, al
though 1T is suspected he would not be so
averse to the scheme II the season were not
so far advanced. Albert l.. Johnson, the
owner of the Allentown club was at Allen
town Sunday, but made no reference to the
proposed desertion from the state league Of
which he Is president. The sentiment there
is against charge.
