Lindsay will not accept the vacancy on
the Supreme Court bench caused by the

HIM. This announcement is authorita-

where his expenses would be necessarily
Increased, and his income diminished.

peculiarly disastrous. Nearly every
thunder bolt seems to have done some
damage.

shut out the rain. His wife and family
were prostrated by the shock and the
house badly damaged.
Several other houses at Winfield and at

burned. The house of William Tilly, at

struck and its owner killed. His wife

pitching lost the game for Milwaukee
Today. Baker pitched a weak game
and at the end of the third inning
was relieved by Armstrong, who put
UP even worse ball. st. Paul put
up poor game, but won with little
effort. From this the playing of the
Brewers can be judged. The ST.
Paul team travelled all night and un-
til o'clock in the afternoon to get
here, and in consequence were not
in shape to put up fast game, a
fact which was demonstrated in the
first two innings. In the first Nicol
got around the bases on errors by
Irwin and Boyle, and hit by Sharp,
and Sharp scored on an error by
Smith and a hit by Taylor. In the
second inning triples by Klopf and
Baker, a single by Long and an
error by Pickett gave Milwaukee
two runs. In the first Twitchell got
in a hit and scored on an error by
Pepper and in the eighth Klopf got
hit by a pitched ball and scored on
a hit by Long. Though there were
two earned runs for the Brewers,
the only clean, respectable run was
the one scored in the seventh, when
Twitchell drove the ball to left CEN
ter for a home run. st. Paul got
three in the first after two men had
been retired. MARI led off with a
home run, and singles by Pickett
and Camp and a double by Mullane
scored the other two.

The rain of Sunday caused but a

as but a few hours of sunshine suf-
feed to put it in good order so that the
horses could be worked. Each day
shows a marked Improvement in the
performances, and by the first of next
week all will be in the best possible
condition. An even dozen of the flyerss
came up from Lexington, KY, yesteT-s
day in charge of Richard Curtis.s
They were David B, record 2:10A, .whoF
is entered in the free-for-all trot; MaE-p

eel, Iota, Potential and Human. All
arrived in very good shape despite the
long ride from Kentucky, and after a
days rest will be put to work on the
track. Mr.. Curtis thinks his show for
winning as good as anyone's, and he
seems to be entirely satisfied with the
track and all arrangements.
Most of the trainers are getting ex-
cellent speed out of their horses. al
though there are several who are not
crowding them at all, and have no in
tention of doing so. Ellison says he
will not rush Ithurfel until he at
tempts to win O. race with him. Night

A SHORT AND SHARP CONTEST.

BOSTON, Mass, June 24.-Dan
Creedon, of Australia, and Billy Hen
nessey, of Boston, met at the Suffolk
club rooms tonight to settle the
question of the middleweight pugil-
istic championship of America. They
were scheduled to fight twenty
rounds, but only six were necessary.
Capt. William DAILY Jr. was referee.
Creedon was over weight, tipping
at LIS pounds, to Hennessey's 148,
but the latter conceded the differ
ence. With Creedon We're John Grif-
fin, Ben Murphy, Micky Dunn and
Tom Denny, and back of Hennessey
were Billy Smith, Dick O'Brien,
Jimmy Kelly and Patsy Kerrigan.
In the first round Hennessey nearly
ffoored Creedon with left on the
ear, but the close found the Austral-
ian getting in rapid work with his
left on Hennessey's jaw In the sec
ond round, CreedOn had his oppo-
nent all but out and apparently at
his mercy. Hennessey was game in
the third round, and also in the
fourth, and in the furious in-fght-
ing gained several points on plucky
work. Hennessey's fghting in the
fifth was more of beaten man, and
he retired winded, while Creedon sat
down smiling and confident. The
finish of Hennessey in the next round
was surprise, however. Creedon
shot out a few quick 1eftS and Hen
nessey on rising met the swinging
left of Creedon. Hennessey dropped
over on his head, and it was thought
he was severely hurt, but he was
carried out of the ring ten minutes
later apparently unharmed.
The spectators raised a cry of foul,
but theAreferee declared Creedon the
winner.
