MLEOD AND BAPTISTE.
The Great Handicap Wrestling Match
mt EngIish's Next Friday Night.

When Dan Mcleod wrestled Charles
Wittmore here last month the marvellous
little California wrestler was so delighted
with the reception given him that he now
swears by Indianapolis 1t is owing to his
partiality for this city that his big match
with George Baptiste, the great French
wrestler, will be pulled off here at En-
glish's Opera House next Friday night. The
men were to nave wrestled at st. Louis
July 4. but Baptiste's hackers were afraid
to put up the rest of their money. having
evidently heard of McLeod's wonderful
work In handicap matches recently. Bap-
tiste had 500 of his own money up, and re-
lied on his hackers to furnish $500 more
to make up his 500. When they failed to do
so Mcleod could have claimed the forfeit
but preferred to let il stand and bring the
match off in this city for $500 a side-the
amount already up-the winner to take all
gate receipts. He allows Baptiste $50 for
The conditions of the match are similar
precisely to those under which Hale met
Mcleod here In May.that is, Mcleod is to
actual wrestling time, ten minutes rest to
be allowed between falls. If Baptiste
throws Mcleod once he wins the match
and all the money. The match is catch-as-
eatch-can. with nothing barred but flying
falls The Frenchman Is a formidable an
tagonist for Mcleod under the handicap
lished reputation. and weighs just about the
same as the Californian, though he is a
little shorter in stature. Some years ago he
middle-weight class. but could not keep his
weight low enough TO stay in that class. so
he became a heavyweight wrestler. AS
Mcleod will have lively work before him,
no time can be wasted on the mat, and the
audience at English's next Friday night
will see the liveliest match from start to
finish that was ever known here. The
prices are popular. as usual, and seats go
on sale next Thursday.

Brighton Beach Handicap.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The good card that
had been prepared for to-day's racing at
Brighton Beach was ruined by scratches,
doubtless due to the heavy track, it was
evident that there was considerable pad
ding. The feature OF the day was the
Brighton handicap. in which some OF the
best handicap horses were entered, but only
three out of the seventeen started. Lucky
same stable, was the outsider, but he was
backed by a few knowing ones. Lucky Dog
was full of running until they turned into
the stretch, when Walker did not try a
yard after Lovdal caught him. and let the
outsider win among cries of put him on,
and vigorous Kissing from the. crowd. In
the steeplechase The Peer was the favor1te,
but fell, and, although his rider never lost
his seat, he was unplaced. st. Anthony was
second to the last half mile, when he came
away and won easily with Hiawasse Sec
ond. Dwight also fell. Summarizes:
