AssinnibGine Favored
Gen. ]. F. Wade at ST. Paul, command
ing the Department Of Dakota has recon-
mended the abandonment of Fort Custer,
Mont, as military post 1t is in the
worst condition of any occupied post he
has seen in the last twenty years. The
water supply is contaminated from sewage
at the crow Greek agency, slaughter
houses and Indian camps.
Gen. Wade also suggests the abandon
ment of Fort Assinniboine, the most north
ernmost post in the United States Its
necessity has passed away. and its occu-
pancy entails hardships upon the troops
He also calls attention to the necessity
for better provision for water supply at

RICH BROOKLYN DERBY
WON BY BELMONT'S OCTAGON, WHICH
BEAT BUDDHA A LENGTH.
Scottish Chieftain, the FavOrite,
Running and Trotting Races.

NEW YORK, June 10-There was heavy
track at Gravesend to-day, and the showers
which occasionally came did not improve the
going. The attendance was fairly good.
The chief event of the day was the rich
Brooklyn Derby, at a mile and a quarter,
for three-year-olds, and six went to the
post, with Scottish Chieftain, winner of the
Belmont, /as the favoritc. The Belmont
pair Octagon and Don de Orc, were sec
ond choices and Buddha third in favorit-
ism. The betting was heavy and the bulk
of the money was on Scottish Chieftain.
The delay was slight at the post and they
got away in good order Octagon showing
the way past the grand stand for the first
time, but all were under choking pulls. AS
they rounded into the back stretch they
were we'll punched, with the exception of
Octagon, who was running free in front of
the others. AS they came into the stretch
Don de ORC moved up into second place to
his stable mate, Octagon, their positions in
the Carlton stakes of a week ago being re-
versed Doggett then began to urge Bud
dha, who had been tagging, but the best he
could do was a ding-dong finish for second
money, which he got by nose on the post,
Octagon winning easily Summary:
Brooklyn Derby; mile and one-quarter
Octagon, 122 (Simms) to and to 5, won
by a length; Buddha, 122 (DoggetD, to
and even. second, by a head; Don de Orc
127 (Griffn). I to and 6 to 5, third. Time
2:1034. Scottish ChieftaiE, The Friar and
BraWlad also ran.

Time-Maker Won.

ST. LOUIS, June 10.-The Meramac sell
ing stakes for a $500 purse over mile
track drew a large crowd to the fair
grounds to-day. With fast track, a clear
day and seven good entries a f1rst-class
race resulted from every standpoint but
that of the talent. Tfme-maker and Sea
Robber We're bracketed favorites by the bet
tors at TO 5. Time-maker was all right,
and so was Sea Robber as far as he went
just as far as the quarter pole. There
Sea Robber had enough of it, and quit,
landing under the wire as also ran" with
only David behind him. Time-maker won
easily by two lengths. All the horses showed
up we'll when they went to the post but
Linda, previously noted for good behavior
baked at the gate and delayed the start
for half an hour. When the field did get
away Linda shot out like a rocket with
Bingbinger second and Time maker and Sea
Robber close up. Bingbinger and Sea Rob
Der talked it over, decided it too hot and
quit. Linda, who had been we'll played at
IS to ;, led into the stretch, but was there
overhaued and easily beaten by Time
maker.

A WELSH WONDER SUSPENDED.
The l.. A. w. Puts an End to MichaeFs
Record Breaking.

Chairman Mott, of the L. A. w. racing
board, in his weekly bulletin, puts an end
to the record breaking of Jimmy Michael,
the Welsh wonder Michael was under sus-
pension Of the National Cyclists Union of
Great Britain when he came to this coun-
try. He was allowed to enter races, how
ever, under a misunderstanding and then
a notice of his suspension was sent out by
the racing board of the L. A. w. Again,
however, was Michael allowed to escape the
rules, the Southern Circuit allowing him to
compete at various points. He Is wonder
full little rider and it is with regret that it
is learned that he has finally heCn compelled
to leave the track. No race has ever Yet
been made that was TOO fIst for him. A
few days ago he was paced mile by q
SeXtuplet, and he spent more energy shout
ing at the six riders to 20 faster than he
seemed to spend in pushing his own machine
close upon them. In the ten-mile match
race at Memphis several weeks ago after
his competitor had dropped ouI. Michael
was paced to the finish His pacemakers
on tandems could not go lively enough for
him, but it was he broke all existing rec
ords. The following is Chairman Motifs ref
erence to the matter of Michaels suspen-
sion:
y. Michael is suspended after June IS un-
til further notice, which will be explained
by the following:

SHOT OUT OF A CANNON
BALL THROWN WITH GREAT ACCU-
RACY BY HINTON's GUN.
Pitching Machine Tested in an Actual
Game-Eight Strike-Outs in
Three Innings.

PRINCETON, N. J.. June 1O.-Professor
Hintons patent baseball pitching gun was
a decided success to-day. Eight strike-outs
one base on balls, one wild pitch and four
safe hits is the record in three innings to-
day in the first fair test of the machines
practicability in an actual game. Mines
representing the Ivy Club and Tiger Inn,
two of Princetons social clubs, played a
match game. using the gun to pitch for
both teams, and the contest attracted a
large crowd of interested spectators prom
inent among whom were Mrs. Cleveland
with a party of friends, and many Prince
ton professors who came to see with what
success Professor Hintons invention would
meet
The gun is discharged by thE batsman,
who, when ready for the ball to be deliv-
cred, steps on an electrical intercepting
plate, connected by wires with the trigger
of the cannon The speed with which the
ball is thrown is regulated by compressed
air, and prong-like projectors from the
cannons mouth impart a rotary motion to
the sphere when discharged, producing a
curve in any direction according as the
position of the projecting prong is
changed. There is but one serious defect
in the operation of the machine that will
prevent it's use in games, and that is the
long time required for reloading. This was
especially noticeable in to-day's game, be-
cause the intercepting plate was out of
order and the frequent delays thereby
necessitated did not allow the game to be
finished. Three innings only were played.
During the first inning the batsmen were
timid about standing near the plate and
the big out curves caused them to jump
back, but as the gun threw strikes in every
instance they plucked up courage, stood
closer to the plate and succeeded OCCASION
ally in making safe hits. The game was
undressing except for the novelty of
seeing the pitchers box occupied by ma
chine. The Ivy Club won by score of
