BY EIGHT WICKETs.
New Workers Bt aten by the University
Cricketers.

LIVINGSTON, S. l., September 4.-After
two days play the crease was in fairly
good condition when play was resumed this
morning in the International cricket match
between all New York and the English
cricketers. There was a good deal of bet
ting as to how many wickets the visitors
would forfeit before they gained the 81
runs which it was necessary for them to
get to win. Opinions were fairly divided,
but it was generally conceded that the
Englishmen would not lose more than four
wickets to accomplish their ends.
Play began at 11:45. with Capt. Mitchell
and Hill at the bat. Cobb took the upper
end and began bowling to Mitchell, who
slipped the third ball to boundary for four
Kelley bowled frcm the lower end and
Mitchell, after single from Hill, sent one
of kelley's into Arkwright's hands.
But Arkwrfght, who was substituted for
one of the home players, muffed it beauti-
fully, and the leather went to the ropes
scoring four for the English captain

A Chance for an Inventor.



While peaches are a very perishable fruit.
a fortune awaits the one who shall invent
a method by which peaches can be taken
to the European market in sound condi-
ton They are, perhaps. our most delicate
fruit, and the length of the peach season
(and the possibilities of making it equal to
the period while the peach ripens all the
way from Georgia to Maine). gives the lux
ury to our people for an unexpected length
of time There is no reason why fruit that
can be sent from California to New Eng
land without injury should not be sent
from New England to the European mar
ket, If 1t can be kept in such condition
that the air does not reach it and hasten
its decay. Europeans are eager to share
our fruit season, and have nothing like II
within easy reach.

Mr.. spaldfng Wants the Suspension of
the Cyclists Removed.
PHILADELPHIA, September 4.-Chair-
man George Gideon Of the l.. A. w. racing
board will take no action on the letter he
received last night from A. G. Spalding in
reference to the suspension of Titus and
Cabanne, two members of the Spalding
bicycle team. Mr.. Gideon expressed sur
prise today when he learned that Mr..
Spalding had given the letter to the press.
He says Mr.. SpaIding is a nice man, but
that there are several things connected
with this case of which Mr.. Spalding is en-
tirely ignorant.
The cases Of Cabanne and Titus are III
the hands Of D. w. Robert of st. Louis,
said Mr. Gideon, and he is collecting evil
derce to submit to the board. Mr.. Gideon
says that the reflection upon the action OF
Mr.. Robert in this matter is unjust, as he
has always found Mr. Robert to be thor
oughly upright and efficient official. 1t was
due entirely to his persistency that Sunday
racing was stopped in the west, and he has
done much to elevate the sport said Mr..
Gideon.
Titus and Cabanne went to New York
yesterday to see Mr.. A. G. Spalding. MIR.
padding sent them to Philadelphia Tor a
personal interview with Chairman Gideon
of the L. A w. racing board. He also for
warded letter to that official giving their
vel sion IF the case and pointing out the
sc rious loss entailed on Cabanne, Titus and
their employers by the enforced inactivity
of the two cracks. After summing up the
case in convincing style. Mr.. Spalding says:
I'VE request you to withdraw their sus-
pension pending investigation and without
trial, and to allow them to conduct their
business and keep their engagements until
fair trial proves them deserving of this
serious punishment.
I'm the meantime we assure you of our
hearty cooperation in the speedy and thor

The Valkyrie to Be ,scraped and

LORD DUNRAVBN Is DISSATISFIED
Surprised at the Report of Bet

The Valkyrie pronounced Val-kye-rie by
Lord Dunraven, the ewEer) in tow of her
tender, reached the Erie Basin, Brooklyn,
at 4:30 o'clock yesterday. By ) o'clock the
English Guitar had been warped into dry
dock, where she is to receive the final
touches preparatory to the cup races.
1t was noticed as she came into the basin
that her truck could be seen above the top
of a high grain elevator, which was said
to be 40 feet high, and it's loftiness was
generally commented on.
Scraped OF the Black Paint.
While the water was being drained off
twenty-five men, under the superintend-
ence of Otto Petersen, were set to work
to scrape and sandpaper all the black paint
off above this water line. They were eau
toned not to go below that line. The scrap
ing and smoothing of the Valkyrie's sides
were continued all night under electric
lights and bright moonlight.
When all traces of the dark paint are
scraped off a coat of white paint will be
put on. The white will only reach to the

terry about the treatment of the under
water body of the boat. A patent compo-

had not been decided on last night.
A New York Herald reporter asked Lord
Dunraven If he was satisfied with the con-
diton of the Valkyrie
mo, l am not at ALL he replied. but 1
hope to be when she leaves here"
Surmising that changes had been found
necessary which would make further trial
spins desirable, the reporter suggested it
was pity that he would not have another
week after dry docking before the races.
cutie Satisfied.
"Oh, no, I don't think So" his lordship
replied.
Then you are satisfied with the tuning
up she has had?"
Yes, quite So"
1.-THE work in dry dock, then. will be prin-
cipally dressing her up ard improving her
appearance?"
Yes"
His lcrdship's dissatisfaction, therefore,
appeared to he confined to the yachts ap-
pearance. He said he preferred white, and
that she had always been white, but he
didn't know whether they could make the
change successfully now.
The Question of Odds.
Lord Dunraven was surprised at the
three to enc on the Defender, and asked
how the betting was here. He was told
that the odds varied greatly, and many
thought even money was the proper thing,
believing that it was largely matter OF
betting on wind, with the Defender picked
for blow and the Valkyrie for light air.
Mr.. Glennie said ne didn't take any stock
In the cable report. Lord Dunraven, when
asked what he thought about it, replied:
well, with three to one on the other side
and even money here, should say it was a
pretty good thing for somebody"
Asked If he had seen the defender in dry
dock Lord Dnnraven said he had and
thought she was Il beautifully nodded boat
and very scientifically built 1t was sug-
gested that her fin keel did not add to her
appearance, but his lOrdShp reiterated:
"Oh, she has beautiful lines. She's clean
cut, and we'll made and Mr.. Glennie ech-
oed the opinion.
The Time Allowance.
Measurer John Hyslop of the New York
Yacht Club will officially measure the VAL
kyrie and the Defender on Friday. Not
until then will it be known exactly just
how much the cup challenger will have to
allow the American boat. But Mr.. A. G.
McVey, the yachting expert, SECS: "a
close approximation to the racing lengths
Of the two yachts. as shown by their spar
plans. would be 1918 feet racing length
for the Valkyrie and 1OO.22 feet racing
length for the Defender.
These are the racing lengths, based on
the approximate measurements, and they
show that. although the Vaikyrie has the
greater sail spread, still she does not have
to pay much for 1t.
About n Minutes Difference.

the boats are quite near together, the De-
