TRACK AND STABLE.

Horsemen looked to the Chicago trottins
meeting to demonstrate whether harness
horses could be raced profitably without
betting, and it seems to have shown that
they cannot At Saginaw, Cleveland and
Detroit, in the big circuit, where pool sell
ing was permitted, each meeting made
money. At Buffalo and Rochester, in the
circuit, and at Chicago, the meetings have
been financial failures, though the fastest
and most famous horses have appeared at
them, and at each meeting the racing has
been of unsurpassed order.
The beating Tom Belmont's horse Hast
ings received at the hands of David Gid

When Mr.. Belmont paid Gideon & DAILY
$37 900 for Hastings few weeks ago, he
did it chiefly because he had the futurity
and other valuable engagements, and Bel

chance to win himself more than out in this
one event. Then for Gideon to come along
with Requital, bought in at his own sale
for little more than Onc-third what Bel
mont paid him and his spartner for his
stable companion and walk away with the
richest prize OF the year, probably made Mr..
Belmont think that Gideon was a little dis
courteous, if nothing else.

GENERAL SPORTING NOTES,

The League of American wheelmen does
not appear to be a popular orga nization
with bicycle people in Washington. 1t is
said that 1T has less than one hundred mern-
bers here, though there is estimated that
there are more than 80 600 riders in this
city.
Cabanne, the bicycle rider, won the anna
teur boxing championship of Missouri from
his own father. His younger brother, who
trains the bicyclist, now holds the boxing
title for that State.
Bald, the bicycle rider, carries the many
diamonds he has won screwed under the
lapel of his vest. This is the way thinner
man used 10 lug around his vaIuabies.
The Palisade Boat Club, of Yonkers,
which took part in the regatta here on Sat
urday, is 10 give a carnival of sports on
Labor Day The chief event of the day will
be an invitation senior eight-oared shell
race The clubs that have been invited to
enter crews are the Atlantas, DauntIess,
ofthe Harlem r iver Hudsons and waverlys,
of the Hudson River; Staten Island Boat
Club, of Staten Island; Passaic Boat Club,
of Newark, and the Crescent Boat Club, of
Philadelphia. The distance is to be one
mile and half straight away.
II is said that Philadelphia has turned
out more professional and amateur bicycle
racers this year than any city In the world.
The English University cricketers are
TO play their first match with the Phila-
delphia Cricket Club on September 13, IA

the best clubs of the East, Philadelphia,
Boston, and Brooklyn.
1t is not Improbable that Joe Corbett will

with Chicago this afternoon

There is general desire on the part of
all of the cranks in Washington to see Maui
back in the game. There seems to be u notion
that with him in the box just now the Sena-
tors would do some tall ball playing.
Hassamer may have cut some capers that
were not what they should have been, and
maybe the Washington management knew
what they were about when they let him
60, but that he was a popular player with
that class of patrons who keep the game of
base ball going-the bleachers-cannot be
denied. When Saturdays game was over,
and Bill had been seen as a Senator for the
last time GOOD bye, Bill old boy" went
out from many mouths, and there seemed
to be general feeling of regret that things
had soShaped themselves as to Ia kehim away.
. TRULY, though new in his present com.
pany, seems to be quite capable of ia king
care of himself. He didn't have much of q
chance tOshow himselfin the game Saturday,
but what he did get a chance to do he did
about as well as most of the big league
players would have DONE
The controversy as to who shall play with
the winners of the pennant this year for the
Temple cup is still on. The Cleveland
team, now tnat they seem to stand a chance
of landing not worse than second place,
say that they will see to 1t that New York
don't get in on the profits of the cup games.
The suggestion that the league set aside
money to buy medals for the cup players
don't seem to meet with favor anywhere.
The men want the cash the games may pro-
duce. The New York men got abIut $500
each out of the cup series last year, while
the Baltimore men got about $500 each.
The wrangle over q ball the game ON
Saturday struck everybody as being rather
ridiculous, and when Keefe hauled his
watch out and gave notice that he would
give thehome management just one minute
