"BIsMARCK" SENTENCED,
Again Condemned to Death by Jud,
Scott.


Scott.
According to Judge Scott's decision, Mr..
Ernest Gertenbergs big dog, Bismarck"
must die, but If he does eventually fall
dead from the effects of bullet from a
policeman's pistol it will only be after his
owner has availed himself of the privi-
leges and rights he has in every court in
the land. Attorneys Albright and Siliers
We're on hand today to represent Bis
marck's" interests, while Mr.. Pugh was in
court in the interests of the prosecution,
and he insisted that the court should or
der the animals execution.
Mr.. Gerstenberg was in court anXiousiy
awaiting the courts action
When the case was reached Judge Scott
spoke of the law and the facts, and said
that as his sentence ordering the dogs
execution was imperfect he could not hold
Mr.. Gerstenberg for contempt. He held
that he had authority to make the SEN
tence perfect, and this he did by imposing
fine of s. in addition to ordering the
death of the dog.
In SO deciding Judge Scott referred to the
biting of the boy, and, referring to the
law, said that he thought there was no
legal reason why both the act of 1875 and
the police regulation should not exist
at the same time. The act of Congress, he
said, could not be questioned, and, so far as
he was concerned he was satisfied that the
law was proper one and ought to be en-
forced.
The court also spoke of the question of
hydrophobia, resulting from a single bite,
and said it had always been thought that
the death of the animal had some bearing
on the condition of the patient.
When the courts decision had been an
nounced counsel asked that the sentence
be held up in order that he might take the
case to the upper court on writ of GER
tiorari.
This was done, and the matter will be
heard in the upper courts.

DAILY WHIPPED DOOLEY.
The California Lad Made q Poor
Show.

Between Two and three hundred Sports
made their way last eyening to the arena of
the Eureka Athletic Club for the purpose
of witnessing four OF five sparring matches.
But three were pulled off. Sailor Brown
falling to put in an appearance for his
go with Pat Raedy, although Raedy was
there fit and anxious. Billy Warner also
failed 10 respond for go" with Albert
Johnson. The management offered to re-
fund their expenses to those who were dis
satisfied because of the non-appearance of
the men. but no one applied, and the rest
of the program was gone through with.
This included a ten-round bout between
Toady Banks and Aleck Brown, two we'll
known colored boys. a four-round affair
between Howard Wilson and Will Werner,
also colored, and a twenty-round fight be-
tween Jack DAILY of Wilmington, Del, and
Billy Dooley Of San Francisco. In only the
first event was the arranged number of
rounds fought, and that bout was declared
a draw, although Banks did much more of
the leading and landing, and should have
had the decision. Werner was evidently a
novice in the game, and Wilson put him out
in the second round without half trying.
The event of the evening, that between
DAILY and pcoley. was concluded in the fifth
round, when DAILY put the Californian out
with good stiff right on the jaw. Dooley
weighed 132 pounds. and DAILY 100 IL, but
good judges, despite the fact that he was
far from well, picked out the latter as the
winner even tefore the men to d the mark.
The San Francisco man had the advantage
of height ard reach. but he was woefully
deficient in ring tactics and hitting abili-
ties, ard most of his tire was occupied in
liugging his adversary.
Days sickness greatly told on him, and
in the fourth round he WAS very weak, and
had Dooley known little bit AMI could
have hit the least bit hard. the Wilmington
man would have gone to r:st. But Daily
stuck to his business in very game man
ner. and dazns Dooley with good left in
the face. he finished him with heavy
swing of his right on the Jaw.

called at the close of the sixth inning with
the score 9 to because of darkness. The
LEGAL men were the first to bat, and the
first four men safely hit Ehret, Tom Brown
leading off with a two-bagger, which he
stretched into a three-bagger because of
Dowd's bad throw. Rain interrupted the
inning when two runs had been scored,
and when the game was resumed, with
Joyce and Mcclure on second and first, re-
spectively, the next batters could not send
them In. Malarkey, weak and sick, was
put in to pitch for the home team, and.
after chances had been given Joyce and
Mercer to retire the visitors, six runs, not
enc OF them earned, resulted.
The next inning Anderson relieved Ma

The republican campaign in Maryland

however, both gubernatorIal candidates
will move around the state, visiting county
fairs and shaking the farmer by the hand.
Next Thursday will be gala occasion at
the Rockville fair, as both Mr.. Lowndes
and Mr.. Hurst will be present on that day.
and there will undoubtedly be an immense
crowd of visitors on hand to cheer for their
favorite or to take a calm view and make
a comparison of the two men. Both of the
candidates will reach Rockville fortified
and strengthened by their experiences at
Marlboro. Mistakes made there will be
rectifed now. Mr.. Hurst will not dila.e so

Doesn't Believe the Fight VIII Come
OF I'm Teyus.

Jake Kilrain. who was seconding Duke
in the DukeWongo fight at Norfolk
last night, said in an interview as to the
Observation-Disclosures fight: 1.-The fight
won't come off in Texas. That is out of
the question, and believe 1t will be pulled
of in New Orleans. 1 know of no better
place to have it. AS to the chances of the
fight 1 am not betting. 1 would not dare
to. Fitz is deucedly lucky, and although
Corbett has the reach, height and the
quickness, yet he has been living wildly,
and Fitz has not This will tell in Fitz-
simmons favor. Then Corbett has a nasty
temper, and his hotel squabble with Fitz
has hurt his betting value greatly. His
temper may run away with him in the
ring and give Fitz chance, as Corbett
hates him and may try to take it out of
him. 1 would not dare bet on either of
them now, and lots others feel as l do
Kilrain looking finely. He tips the
scale at 205 pounds.

The Marlboro Fair.

Correspondence of The Evening Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Aug. 80, 1895.
Mr.. Lowndes, the republican candidate
for governor of Maryland, with his associ-
ates on the ticket, were the attraction at
the fair today, and were drawing cards.
The crowd today was about the same as
the day before. Today is children's day.
Yesterday during the races it rained, which
made the track heavy, and race was de-
clared off. A ball was given by the Fair
Association last night at the town hail. but
owing to the excessive heat the attendance
was much smaller than last year. No ar
rests were reported today and the crowd
was orderly.

Base Ball Notes.
Two games today.

Two games today.
The board of league directors has de-
cided by mail vote that the Boston, Wash
ington game of August IL must be played
over again. This was the game of eleven
innings which was won by the Bostons by
one run, the umpire enormously declaring
Hassamer out for batting out of his turn
after he had hit foul ball. The Wash
ington club protested the game on this ac-
count, and the protest is sustained. This
takes one victory off Boston and one de-
feat from Washington. The umpire was
Burnham.
Bases on balls by Cuppy, ranker errors
by McGarr and Childs, singles by Duffy
and Tenney and home run by Long
gave the BostonS seven unearned runs in
the sixth inning and the game yesterday.
Capt. Tebeau and his men created the most
disorderly scenes witnessed in Boston for
many years, and delayed the game so long
that Umpire Mcdonald called it at the
finish Of the Clevelands half of the eighth
This is a sample of the idiocy exhibited
by some base ball writers this season in
their war of spite on President Nick
Young: George Durham is continued on
the umpire staff against the protest of
every team in the league except Baltimore
One stubborn league magnate kept Tim
Hurst off the staff all season." According
to this writer, one club can keep an umpire
on the stali when the other eleven clubs
oppose him, and one club can keep an UNI
pire off when the other clubs want him.
The Brooklyns made 1t twelve straight
yesterday. Their victims on this occasion
were the Cincinnati Reds.
o. P. Caylor, the base ball writer who
has undertaken the job of apologizing for
the mismanagem of the Giants, recently
abused Umpire Jevne because the New
Yorks played so badly that the Colonies
defeated them. The Recorder gets back at
Caylor as follows: There was rumor about
town last night that the Giants would have
won the game had Umpire Jevne acted
fairly. Jevne was all right Our Boys
ought to beat nine Kurnels' and one UNI
pire with one hand. The umpire story has
already been worked to death. 1t was
bum pitching that lost the game, and
nothing else.'
The donor of the Temple cup has been
interviewed by the Boston Globe. Con-
corning the battles for the trophy he said
that they must be played by the clubs fin
ishing first and second in the race. That
evidently let's out New York.
Fred. Pfeffer says he has signed a New
York contract for 1896 and will cover sec
cnd for the Giants next year.

De1ender Demonstrates Again Her SUI
periOrity to Vigilant.
The Stars dispatches yesterday de-
scribed the Vigilant-Defender yacht race
up to the time the boats were approaching
the second mark of the triangular course.
After rounding the second mark, big
black squall came out from the south
southwest, and went for the sails of the
racers. The Defender stood it bravely and
there was no inclination to take in her big
club topsail. Mr.. Iselin, Capt. Half and
Nat Herreshoff, all Of whom were aboard,
were content to let the people see that they
had a boat which could stand up in heavy
wind. The sheet of her jib parted under
the strength of the forty-mile wind and
within minute the headsail was in rib
bons. Within three minutes new sail was
set in it's place.
The last leg was a close reach for home.
The Vigilant had not been able to with
stand the blow and took down her club
topsail soon after rounding the second
mark, and shortly after withdrew her baby
jib-topsail
The Defender won by Ism. OBS, not
counting time allowance, which has been
estimated at I'm. 3Os. The short tack
which she made before rounding the mark
was entirely unnecessary. 1t was one of
the many instances of playing which De-
fender has done while racing to prevent
giving too much information to the oppo-
Sition.
The Vallkyrie got little piece of the
squat. With only her massive mainsail
set, she heeled over enough to show that
she is very tender.
The Defender fairly boiled through the
water. and her performance was marvel
Gus.

other trial race for today. The following
