PILLsBURY SUFFERS DEFEAT.
Lasker and Steinitz Wins Mt Hastings,
England. ~

The eighteenth round of the international
chess masters tournament was played yes
terday at Hastings, Eng, resulting as fol-
lows:
Gunsberg beat Albin In French defense
after AZ moves '''4
Lasker beat Vergani in a Rty Lopez after
81 moves.
Tarrasch beat Janowski in aqueen's gam
bit declined after IS moves.
Steinitz beat Tinsley In a P @ opening
after 3S moves. 8.
Blackburne beat Pollock in a phillidor
after 10 moves. E'F
Burn beat Walbrodt in French defense
after 81 moves EFF"
Schechter beat Pilsbury in a queen S
gambit declined after AS moves.
Teichman beat Bird in P KB game
after As moves.
MieSes and TSchiSorin drew a Scotch
game after 50 moves.
The games Marcors, Mason and Bardele-
ben vs.. Schiffers, stood adjourned.
Pillsbury probably spoiled his chances for
first honors by going down before Schlech-
ter after forty-eight moves. 1t was a
queens gambit which Schlechter declined
to accept. There was nothing in the posi-
ton to speak of far as the opening and
middle game stage were concerned, and in
all probability a draw would have resulted
but for Whites determination to win. He
made a combination which proved I'M
sound. Schlechter took full advantage of
his adversary's wrong scheme and finally
won.
Tinsley defended P-Q 4 opening, as Of
fered by SteinItz. very cleverly in the be-
ginning of the game. Later on, however,
Steinitz proved too good man for Tinsley.
The latter's position soon collapsed, and
SteinitZ won in aS-you-pleaSe style after
thirty-eight moves.
The Italian opened game against Las
ker with a Ruy Lopez. which the Teuton
defended with Apo R 3. Nergani played
very finely at first. and gave his renowned
adversary lot to study. Just when white
had good drawing chances he made q seri-
Gus error, after which Lasker had every
thing his own way, and after thirty-four
moves Vergani gave up the fight.

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
\ New York Judge So Decides in a
Test Case Under the Racing Laws.

A New York Judge So Decides in a
Test Case Under the Racing Laws.
Judge Bischoff, in the court of comm On
pleas in New York. has handed down a de-
cision holding that provisions of chapter
SO, laws of 1893, entitled IAN act for the
incorporation of an association for the
Improvement of the breed of horses and to
regulate the same, and to establish a
state racing associa tion," which means the
Percy-Ciray racing bill, are within the in
hibtion in the constitution against the
authorization of any kind of gambling and
are therefore unconstitutional.
The decision was rendered in the suit of
John c. Dudley against the Flushing Jock
ev Club Dudley sued to recover the
amount of a stake, which was formed pur-
suant to the provisions of chapter SO
quoted above He alleged in his complaint
that prior to May 10, 1898, the defendant
corporation was Incorporated to run races
under section of the act.
May 10, 1895, Dudley entered his horse
Brown Dick in sweepstakes race with
three other horses under the following
provision: That the owner or owners of a
horse or horses may contest their horses
in said race upon contributing so for each
horse entered, and the defendant had con-
tributed 500, which purse, together with
the several contributions, should conSti-
tute a sweepstakes to be paid to the owner
of the winning horse.
The race was to be one mile, for three
year-olds and over. The race was run May
Is, 1855 and the plaintiffs horse, Brown
Dick, having won. Dudley demanded the
entire purse of $40.
The defendant declined to pay the S1I5,
but offered to give Dudley his s25 entry
fee. He then instituted suit to recover
the s175 The Flushing Jockey Club
through its counsel, Benjamin Steinhardt
of Howe & HuInners office, filed de
murrer to the suificiencya of the plaintiffs
complaint.
In this demurrer it said: The defendant
by its demurrer admits all Dof the facts
and presents but one question, which is,
whether the said act is constitutional. If
it is unconstitutional the demurrer must
be sustained and the complaint be dis
missed"
1t is not thought by those most interested
that the decision of Judge Bischotf will
amount to much Judge Bischof said
when seen in regard to the matter, that
the decision rendered by him did not apply
TO stake races, but only to sweepstakes
and that had the act not attempted to
legalze sweepstakes it would have been
sustained

CROQUET TOURNEY.
1t Will BE Held on Washington
Grounds Next Week.


The Washington Croquet Club is plan
ming to hold an open tournament during
the last week in September, and an oppor-
tunity will be given local lovers Of out
door sport to see the scientific playing of
a game that is regarded with considerable
disdain owing to ignorance of its fine
points A large number of the cracks
from the national tournament have signi-
fed their intention of being present and it
is thought that the prospect for a more
successful tourney even than that of last
year is most excellent.
Another feature of interest will be the
match between w. H. Apgar of Trenton,
Henry G. Fay of Brooklyn and w. H.
Wahly of this city, to determine the WIN
ner of the second division in the national
tournament, recently held at Norwich.
Conn. Each won 10 and lost 4. The win
ner of the second division goes into the
first division the following year to contest

first and second he hunted, but was thrown
out. The runners were moved up so that a
score came in on the next out.

made that If Collins was wanted a notice
of six days was to be given and the $500 re-
turned. The Boston management has Of
fered to let the Louisvilles have Nyce IN
stead of the $500, though whether this was
done to save the money or because it was
felt that the loss of Collins would cripple
Louisville too badly is not stated. Nyce is
very highly regarded by Manager Selee,
who considers MIN a better batter than
Collins. This is so, but he falls far short of
being the fielder the other man is.
