ans's protest against being detached from COM
mand OF the battleship Indiana has been ignored
by the Navy Department and he will be relieved

Evans believed that the chances OF the lndiana's
being in the foremost of a fight in event of
trouble with Spain were excellent, and he
wished to be on the deck OF the Indiana should
the north Atlantic fleet be ordered south for
fighting purposes.
Two weeks ago he came 10 Washington and
asked the Secretary of the Navy to permit him
TO retain his command, at least until after Con-
gress has considered and disposed of the Cuban
question. The authorities have decided, how
ever, that Fighting Bob has already served six
months over his allotted time at Sea, and that
he must give way to some ono else. II the Adj
ministration should be forced TO war with
Spain. however. he will be provided with a ship
equal to the Indiana. Capt. Henry q. Taylor,
commanding the Naval War College. will be
Capt. Evans's successor, and the two will be do
tached from their present respective commands

Ladies day at Ingleside is now quite the
proper fad. Four or FIVE thousand mem.
bers OF the weaker sex and couple thou
sand of the stronger descendants of Adam
of Garden-of- Eden fame saw the racing
yesterday, and the movement looking
toward woman suffrage appears to be
swimming on the top wave of success. AS
the season draws to close, the "sport CT
kings" instead of diminishing, seems to
be increasing in popularity. The cars con-
veying passengers to the picturesque
course were literally packed. and the
bronzed sons of sunny Italy, toillng in the
vegetable gardens adjacent to the track,
gazed in establishment at the moving
masses of humanity on wheels.
Once inside the grounds and the battle
for wealth began. The ring experienced
one of the liveliest betting days of the
meeting. Messenger-boys with commits
sions from fair bettors up in the grand
stand were scooting around among the
crowd thicker than mosquitoes in fishing
time.
Seven favorites went to the post, of
which number three were returned win
ners, long-priced outsiders taking the
balance, medley OF mixtures that should
please the most fastidious spectator.
The Roman put the big throng in good
humor by taking the opening four -furlong
dash, starting at TO l, equal choice with
Widow Jones. Dolce was good second,
with Santa Paula finishing in the show.
The six.furlong handicap with FIVE start
ers that came next, however, resulted in a
big dump. Midas was backed down from
to b to g to 10 and exhibited about as
much speed as prize cow, finishing the
poorest sort of q third. Olive, the 8 to s
second choice, won handily at the end
! from NebuchadneZZar.
| The mile and three-eiGhths handicap hur.
| die went to the 8 to favorite, Silverado
| through a disqualification. Hello, who
went back in the betting from to to
fours, won handily, but j. Murphy, the
rider of the post choice, entered a claim OF
| foul, which was allowed by the judges
after Clancy, who piioted Hello, had made
the admission that he interfered with
| Murphy's mount.
Ten selling platers went to the post in
the fourth race, mile selling affair.
Elmer + was favorite around post time
and although making a very creditable
showing. was beaded out at the wire by
the S TO chance Huntsman, who beat him
two lengths in :441l.
The six-furlong sprint that followed saw
nine more of the cheaper class of horses
face the starter. Governor Budd at 81

cille, Doubtful and O'Fleta, but ran un
placed. After making most of the run
