COMMITTEE OF '96.
The Christian EndeEvOrers Planning
for the Big Convention Next Year.

The Christian EndeEvOrers Planning
for the Big Convention Next Year.
A meeting of the Christian Endeavor
committee of '96 will be held Monday even
ing, September 30. A great deal OF i'm
portant work has been planned for that
meeting, and discussion will be had of such
questions as tie organization and person
mel of the various 80 committees. the is
suing of various circulars to the local COM
mitteeS and to state and county conven-
tons, method of conducting the financial
campaign among Washington merchants,
printing and stationery and other matters
of business. A design for an official BAN
ner or flag for the convention will be Sc
lected, as well as a new welcome song.
The committee is of the opinion that the
Washington '96 song heretofore used has
been an excellent one and admirably suited
to the purpose for which it was composed
that of arousing enthusiasm in favor of
the national capital when this city was in
the field as a candidate for the fifteenth
international convention. Now that the
convention has been secured a song of a
spiritual nature is desired The committee
has plenty of material before it-so much,
in fact, as to make the work of selection
difficult one
Interest Throughout the Country.
That Christian Endeavorers throughout
the country are deeply interested in the
Washington convention, and are already
beginning to hold meetings with that sub
ject a prominent one on the program, is
evident from the mail which daily comes to
the committee headquarters on New York
avenue Mr.. w. H. H. Smith, chairman of
the committee of '96, yesterday received a
letter, which is here quoted as a sample of
hundreds of others that are beginning to
pour in upon him. 1t is from Boston
minister, who says:
1.-The Christian Endeavor unions of New
En- gland have already commenced to boom
things for Washington 49, At the New
Hampshire state Christian Endeavor rally,
to be held october 10 and II, am invited
to present Washington go l wish you
would give me between now and up to
October all the information you can con-
corning the city, the place or places of
meeting, hotel and other accommodations,
and whatever may be of interest to the peo-
pie at the convention. We hope it will even
surpasS Boston 90"
1t keeps the committee busy answering
such communications and sending the in
formation asked for. but the members are
pleased to be kept busy in that way, and
from the array of facts and amount of
literature forwarded to the Boston min
lister be will be able to give the New
Hampshire enthusiasts a rouSing talk on
next years convention.
Friday evening, October t. the Y. P S. c.
E. of the Calvary Baptist Church will give
a reception to the officers of the District of
Columbia Christian Erdeavor Union at the
Calvary Sunday school house. Invitations
are being sent out by the officers and men,
bers of the Calvary society to large num-
Der of members of other societies to be
present and join in the reception, which
possibly may be the only purely social
event in Christian Endeavor circles during

players, except McGraw and Pond, were
taken along.
Two games will be played at the Polo
grounds this afternoon. Manager Hanlon
said last night that he had not decided
who would pitch. intimating that he would
wait until he found out whom New York
was going to put in.
The boys were all confident Of landing
winners twice, as they have but two games
of the four to take in order to make the
pennant theirs, even should Cleveland play
and win its two games with Louisville and
one with Chicago and the forfeited Balti-
more-Pittsburg game thrown out: Should
the remaining games result this way, Bal
timore would win by three points.

70 RACE FOR The AMERICAS CUP
Mr.. Rose Has First Call for Next
Year.
MANLY SPORT IN GENERAL

LONDON, September 27.-Mr. Herbert

build yacht to sail for the Americas
tralian corporation, with headquarters in
Cannon street, London. Mr.. Moir said in
an interview today: 81 have long wished
Americas cup. 1 wrote challenge, which
was published first in the Financial News
last week. Since then Mr. Rose has chal-
lenged for the cup.
II first started in catching in Sydney
harbor. Like all good yachtsmen and Aus
tralians, did not see why the cup should
remain in America. l Travelled all through
the United States last autumn l under
stand that Valkyrie III cost the Dunraven
syndicate $4,000, with designers fees, and
l am quite prepared to spend an equal
sum. l shall call the boat after the colony
where l have made my greatest successes,
West Australia. 1t will be fin keel craft,
and will be built upon lines somewhat
similar to Britannia. l cannot disclose the
measurements yet.
THE acceptance of Mr.. Roses challenge
for the Americas cup will preclude the pos
sibility Of my racing in 1896, but 1 shall
have my yacht ready for 1897.
In this enterprise l am associated with
syndicate of wealthy yachtsmen and
sportsmen of the west end. 1 cannot dis
close the names of these gentlemen at
present However, 1 am ready to sail any
where. Any water that is good enough for
Defender is good enough for me.
THE challenge will be sent to the United
States soon.
The question as to who shall design the
West Australia has not yet been settled.
I am negotiating with four designers. 1
must say. however, that prefer the Clyde
to the south Of England yacht builders"

TO STOP THE PRIZE FIGHT.

Gov. Culberson Convencs the Texas
Legislature.
Gov. Culberson of Texas has called a
special session of the legislature to take
action on prize fighting. This is in pur-
suance of his determination to prevent the
Corbett- Fitzsimmons contest, if he can.
The various efforts to, apply the existing
law to the prevention of prize fighting
wound up in a test case, two pugilists who
met in public having been arrested.
Judge Hurt of the court of criminal ap-
peals decided that there was nothing in
the law upon which the ACCUSED could be
convicted.
The opponents of fighting, including per-
Sons in authority, have been making eff
forts to have Judge Hurts decision re-
viewed by the full supreme bench.
The last act of Cow Calberson is de-
signed to make a newsla against glove

Raced In a Qungmire.
There were some close finishes on a fast
track until the fourth race was run at
Gravesend yesterday, when a thunder
storm turned the going into a quagmire.
The Brookwood Handicap was run in this
mud and was a laughable affair. Counter
Tenor and Rey del Carreres were equal
favorites at the opening, but Counter Tenor
was soon in the place of honor. AS soon
as the flag fell Rey del Carreres jumped
into the lead, and widening the gap with
every jump was a dozen lengths ahead as
they came into the stretch. Then Doggett
took a wrap on his mount and won in a
common gallop by three lengths while
Counter Tenol was twice as far ahead of
Dolabra. Time, 1.53 3-4.

Not Much Alarmed.

CHICAGO, Septembsr 27.-The Chicago
sporting contingent do not seem to be much
alarmed at the action taken by the gov
ernor of Texas. They say it is one thing to
call the legislature together and another
to secure the passage Of a law prohibiting
fighting.
Dan Stuart last night telegraphed F. E.
Kennedy, who expects to run train to
Dallas for the fight, that the mill will be
brought off in the Indian territory If a law
was passed forbidd;ng it in Texas What

Western League Championship.
The directors of the Western Base Ball
League met at Chicago yesterday and
awarded the championship of the season to
the Indianapolis team. The officers report
showed the league to be in excellent condi-
ton, every club having made money. Yes
terday's meeting was an executive one, and
those present refused to discuss the pro-
ceedings. 1t was expected that a lively
row would be developed, owing to objec-
lions to the alleged drafting by President
Brush of the Cincinnati National League
team of players really intended for the
Indianapolis club. The directors, however,
denied that any such trouble occurred.
Nashville Again Defeats Richmond.
Owing to decision of the management
Wednesday night in extending the series
of games between Nashville and Richmond
for the southern championship, the game
yesterday afternoon at Richmond did not
decide the contest. They will play today
ami Saturday, making the requisite three
out of five, instead of two out Of three
games The game yesterday was attended
by a large crowd, although a circus was
exhibiting, with its tents across the field,
in full view, and the interest was intense.
At the beginning both teams played bril-
liantly and seemed evenly matched. After
the first three innings Richmond weakened.
Though they batted hard, their stick work
was discounted by the perfect fielding of
the Tennesseeans In the eighth inning
the game was irretrievably lost by errors,
and at the close of the ninth the score
stood IA to in favor of the southern
leaguers. Nashville has won two games
and Richmond one.

Ethclwynn's Owner Withdrawn When
Nearly Nine Minutes Behind.

The race between the half-raters Spruce
~, owned by Mr.. ]. Arthur Brand of the
M1nima Yacht Club of England, the chal-
lenger for the international trophy hung
Up by the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht
Club for small boats, and Ethelwynn,
Capt Z. j. Field Of the Indian Harbor
Yacht Club, which was sailed yesterday On
Long Island sound, ended in a very unsat-
isfactory manner. After sailing one round
OF six miles Mr.. Field decided that he
would not continue the journey because
the wind was SO strong and the sea so
choppy that the conditions were not those
In which half-rater should sail. Never
theless, Spruce continued, and covered the
-entlre distance, despite the wind and sea.
When Ethelwynn quit she was 8 minutes
% seconds behind. The action of MIR. Field
in giving no occasioned many uncompli-
mentary remarks

A Collision and Protest.

Just before crossing the line at the start
slight collision occurred between the
yachts. Ethelwynn had come about to the
starboard tack. while jcckeying for posi-
tion and expected that Spruce, which was
very close to her, would do the same.
Spruce held on to the port tack, however,
and Ethelwynn ran into her stern with a
blow that was not more than a Craze.
Spruce at once displayed protest flag,
but the committee could do no more than
ordered the yachts to proceed. Mr. Field
and Helmsman E. H. Ball of Ethalwynn
dig not know at the time that they had
cen protested. and when they learned the
fact on coming ashore, they were much
surprised. Both asserted that they were in
the right, having been on the starboard
tack, and, therefore. having the right of
Field Gives Up.
The time that the boats made the turn
that marked half the course was: Spruce,
2:03:CO; Ethelwynn, 2:11:oS. Mr.. Ball, who
was the Yankee skipper, did not want to
give 1t up, but the owner insisted.
Spruce, nevertheless, showed some very
pretty sailing. She finished after the sec
ond heat at 3:27 81.
The outcome of Mr.. Fields action in with
fused to sell again with Owner Field. Field
made another withdrawal at this stage and
got out of the game altogether. Ball sent
word to Elizabeth, N. j., for his brother
Fred to come to oyster bay by the first train
in the morning, and today the Ball brothers
will sail the Ethlwynn.
The committee has taken no action on
