soHRIvER's GOOD CATCH.
He Holds Ball Dropped From the
Washington Monument.
From the Philadelphia Record.

b ANAA hAAS AAAANoS AEAALH ANCSOAu
Washington, Aug. 25.-William Schri-
yer, one of the catchers of the Chicago
baseball club, smashed to smithereens
yesterday tradition of long standing
that no baseballist could catch a regula-
tion ball tossed to HIM from one of the
windows in the top of the Washington
monument, 500 feet above the ground.
1T has been held that no man could hold
fast to a ball dropped 500 feet in sheer
space. First because the height was too
great for man to see the ball, and,
secondly, because the impetus it would
receive would break every finger in the
outstretched hand of the mortal who thus
tempted fate. Capt. Anson has always
maintained the contrary, and vowed that
the feat could be done. 1t was all in vain
that he had pointed out to him how fast
a falling body went in the first second il
journeyed downward, and how much
faster its speed was for every succeeding
second.
No trial was made until yesterday.
Schriver was consulted and expressed
his willingness to undertake the task A
party consisting of Messrs Griffith, Par
rott, Decker, Stratton and Hutchinson Of
the Chicagos; Frank Bennett, II. z Bur
ney and Col. Debaun, accompanied
Schriver 10 the monument. The

so no wonder the poor fellows heart was
faint. After Griffith and Hutchinson had
got TO the top and the former had tossed
the ball from a north window, Schriver's
nerve forsook him, and he made
no effort 10 catch IT, But
instead Of boring hole ten feet
deep in mother earth, the leather bounded
uD about rs hiph as il would from, an
average hard strike. This encouraged
Schriver, ana he resolved that the catch
was no great shakes after all The sig
nal was given, ana again the ball was
pitched, SChriver catching IL fair and
square amid the applause OF the specta-
tors. BY this time the monument cop rot
onto the game and was highly indignant
that such an affair had occurred He
talked Of arrest, but was finally talked
into more amiable temper, ana the party
came up town loyously with Billy
Schriyer O hero.

what is said to be one of the most valua-

apparently stored with more horse lore
than all the stud books in the Hamlin

Fantasy, the famous Chimes tilly, is 4
years old and has achieved a reputation
unequaled by any FLY of her years. She
is probably the most favored by nature of
the Village Farm 4-year-olds, for she has
superb physique and an excellent con-
stitution. This big daughter of Chimes

Buffalo, Sept. The man who owns
the most remarkable collection Of race
horses in the world is undoubtedly Cicero
j. Hamlin, the millionaire grape sugar
manufacturer, who lives in Buffalo, and
is proprietor Of the Village stock farm at
East Aurora. That farm is now the
home Of such great trotting sires as
Chimes, Mambrino King, Almont, Jr.,
and others of almost equal merit Two Of
the flyers owned by Mr.. Hamlin are con-
fidently expected to bring the world
mile record down to two minutes. These
two are Robert j., PAGER, 2:O5$4 and Fan

Nightingale is one OF the greatest trot-
ters living She is nine years old. and
her turf career dates from 1859, when. as
ayear-old, she won record OF 2:32I5-
not very low for the daughter Of a royal
sire-but she was destined for a more
brilliant career later on. She lowered her
marx 10 2;2yts when four years old and
trotted a mile the following wear i'm
30 a. In leSl she won a long list OF vic
tories, Including the $4,000 Charter oak
stakes at Hartford, Conn. That race was
won only after nine heat battle. In

old race record of 2 2:0S$l, and in addition,
there are two other worlds records held
by Village Farm. One is the double team
record of PIP, made by Belle Hamlin and
Globe; the other is the triplicate team
record of 2:l4, made by Belle Hamlin,
Globe and Justina.
Mr.. Hamlin established the Village
Farm as long ago as 1855, and
he was 81 years old then. He
passed the threescore and ten limit
before he reached the hight of his
ambition in making his stables the
most famous in the country for breeding
harness racers and high class rOadsters
In 1886, when he was 20. he began his
business career by keeping a general
store at East Aurora He went to Buff
falo ten years later and made fortune in
the dry goods business.

In 1892 she was driven to beat the two

two-mile record TO the Indiana stallion
Greenlander last fail, but she still holds
the three-mile record She is a lion
hearted beast and fights out a race Of
many heats with wonderful patience and
endurance.
A BLUE FLOODED 400
Village Farm has grown steadily until
it now includes more than 400 acres, and
the index of its stock includes the names
of very nearly 400 members of the horse
flesh aristocracy The list Of 2:30 per
formers bred there or now owned there
numbers sixty-four. and the list IS now
complete OF this list thirty-two had
made records Of 2:30 or under before the
present racing season began.
The dams are bred and the foals
are cared for at the farm. When they
are old enough to enter the kindergarten
the yearings are transferred to the
stables and covered track at the Buffalo
Driving park, the site OF which Mr.. Ham
lin bought in 1868, and which he still
owns. There they are trained with the
utmost care. The muscles of a prize
fighter in training for the championship
of the world are not developed with more
pains and caution. The training depart
ment is under the supervision of
Ed. f. Geers, ''the silent man." as
he is known all over the country
John Splann, the famous driver says of
Geers and his employer: Il would rather
work against any other combination of
horsemen in the world, for what one does
not know about every race horse and
every driver in the country, the other
does" Splann believes that both Robert
J. and Fantasy will travel very close to
the 200 mark before they return to
Buffalo, and he appears to have equal
faith with Mr.. Hamlin in the filly's abil-
ity ultimately to reach that coveted fig
ure with its transcendant honors.

now so confident Of the outcome that he
has no hesitation in making predictions.
he Is A PROPHET, TOO.

He says "While my prediction of
1891. That there were then on Village
Farm youngsters that would score lower
marks in contested races than had hereto
fore been made by any trotter, living or
dead has been verified already, I believe
at this time it will bear repeating, and
that its intent may be transferred to the
present period, for believe now, as did
then, that there are youngsters at VII
lage ! arm who will set opposite their
contested races" The consequence of
Mir Hamlins wisdom in breeding has
been that his Village Farm stock has i'm
proved step by step from generation TO
generation, and the average of improve.
ment has been 50 rapid as TO astonish
horsemen.
