Record of the Clubs,

The Cincinnati club made it's first ap-
pearance of the season at National Park
yesterday afternoon before a crowd of
about 1900 spectators, and managed to
break their hoodoo. winning from the SEN
ators by the score of to 6.
Although the Senators managed to out
bat their opponents, the errors of the home
club were very disastrous and in almost
every instance resulted in runs. The Ew-
II CITES ran bases with great cleverness
and good judgment, and this feature alone
is responsible for fully five of their nine
runs, the wild throws of the Senators in
field and Catcher Farrell of course con-
tributins In great degree to the pilfering
record. Some of the spectators blamed
Captain Brown for the loss of the game
because he failed to capture Beckley's fly
in the third inning, but outside of the fact
that the ball went to center on a line and
dropped fully twenty feet in front of the
SIXTY captain, the poor fielding of Farrell
Fox and Wrigley would have kept the
locals out of victory at any rate. Brown
has been playing a brilliant game in CEN
ter ever since he has taken charge of the
team, and when the onlookers see that he
does not make grand stand play for a
ball his reputation as ball player should
tell them that the play could not be made.
1t is seldom indeed that Farrell gives an
exhibition of poor throwing like that of
yesterday, and for this reason his bad
work can be forgiven. Wrigley is only a
utility man and in playing third is evil
IDENTIFY doing the best he can. Fox at short
shows the absence of experience, and while
he makes brilliant plays, 1t is the appar-
emily easy ones that trip him up. De-
Mont had six chances at second and got

The Holes in Rose Leayes.

SOME SAY THE DEVILS DEAD.
COlored People Mt MOuntvfIle, s. C..
Arrange for His Burial

A special to the Baltimore Sun from
Mountville, s. c., says: Over $500 colored
people in this vicinity have quit work in
answer to a call to assemble for the burial
of Satan, who, they say, has just been
convicted by jury of twelve angels and
sentenced to everlasting burial in this place.
These people have been holding revival
meeting in the town, and as a result of a
collection they bought a bell to adorn their
church. 1t was upon the first ringing OF
this bell that some of them said they de-
tected the announcement that the burial of
Satan was at hand and that the ringing
must be kept up continuously. The ring
ing has since been kept up and the colored
people have been thrown into high pitch
of feryor, in which they forget all things
of earth and rave like lunatics.
Every day the number of the devotees is
bein gadded to from the surrounding coun-
try, and the result is that the cotton is
standing unpicked in the fields while this
wild demonstration is in progress. The at
tending colored ministers say they have at
tended the court of heaven in person. wi here
God, the judge, after Satan had been con-
victed by jury of twelve representative
ar gels, passed sentence on him, turning him
ever to the colored people of Mountville to
bury once and forever.
Ten minutes are now allowed between
the intervals of ringing the bell, during
which the attending crowd sings vocifer-
oLsly and declares all manner of revela-
ticnS.

EARL KISER WON.
His Race With Bald, Loughead and
Tom Cooper mt Buffalo,

Kiser, Bald, Loughead and Tom Cooper
competed for 81 900 purse in the special
invitation one-mile race at Buffalo, N Y,
yesterday, and attracted a record breaking
crowd to Buffalo Athletic Field. Most of
the spectators were there to cheer for
Eddie Bald, but they were compelled to
witness his defeat by Earl kiser, who won
the two heats by desperate sprinting. In
the first heat Bald started the sprint from
the rear on the last eighth, but Kiser and
Loughead passed him in the stretch, fin
ishing in the order named. inches only
apart. Cooper was a close fourth.
The second heat was procession until
the last half, with Loughead ahead and
Bald trailing. Here Bald went high on the
banking and came like flash, Loughead
taking Kiser up the hill, Bald getting the
pole. He looked a sure winner a few
yards from the tape, but Kiser jumped in
and beat him out by tires width, with
Loughead and Cooper close up.
A. A. Zimmerman rode an exhibition mile

WON BY L'ALOU ETTE.
Futurity Stakes at Sheepshead Bay
Captured by ThOmpsons' FilIy.

LAlouette, a filly belonging to the
Thompson Brothers of Brookdale, and
trained by Jimmy Rowe, won the Futurity
yesterday at Shepshead Bay in the pres
ence of about 1900 people and to the sur
prise of every one, even to the owners and
trainer. Had LAlouette belonged to any
other person than the Thompsons and
quoted individually in the betting, she
would no doubt have gone to the post at so
to l without taker.
OF the three Thompson representatives,
the Huguenot and Gibraltar were both con-
Sidered far superior to L'Alouette es-
pecially on a heavy track such as greeted
the contestants yesterday. But it is only a
repetition of several big thoroughbred
events this year when the unexpected hap
pened. Howard Mann won the Brooklyn
handicap when Belmar, from the same
stable, was considered far superior and
Octagon and Don de Orc have chopped
about several times. Scottish Chfeftain
also won at Morris Park when Matt Byrnes
thought Ogden was sure winner.
The special correspondent of the Phfla-
delphia Times says of the great event:
To describe the race is impossible The
field was SO closely punched from flag fail
that it was only in the last few striies
that LAlouette struck out by herself ard
even her margin was small to what is
usually the case in a race Of such import
ance. Had the track been dry instead of
would have landed the rich prize of nearly
$4,000, for he ran cracking good race in
going entirely unsuited to him. What,
then, would he have done on fast track?
Mr.. Galway's Lydian, which finished sec
ond. came very close to pulling of a good
thing. AS good as 80 to 1 was offered
against him. and few smart people from
Saratoga, where he had been prepared, fell
to him. Plaudit, the good thing of Brown
Dicks" dropped into fourth place. and
Demagogue would have done better had he
not seesawed from one side of the track to
the other in the final furlong. Both the
Huguenot and Gibraltar were lost in the
shuttle, and were hardly spoken" after
the first quarter or SO.
Rowland of which so much has been
said and written, cut very sorry figure,
never being prominent enough to cause
suspense from the others. There will be
great many tabular descriptions of the
race. but it would be impossible to give
a positive table on the race. The horses
ran so close together all the way that any
of the first dozen might have turned the
tables on L'Alouette at any moment.
1t was pretty race and exciting all the
way. and though L'Aiouette won, there are
very few who believe she is the best horse
in the bunch, though she was the best
yesterday without question, for she showed
both speed and endurance, ran gamely and
truly and was ridden as well as any Jockey
could have ridden her.

Swain was on the rubber for the Sena-
tors. and notwithstanding the continual
Kidding of the red legs. pitched a very
good game under the most disheartening
circumstances. Opposing the big fellow
was the 10000 beauty, Breitenstein, who
can consider himself lucky that he has an
other victory to his credit. Fourteen hits
with total Of sixteen is not a record to
be proud of. but Theodore pulled of his
game. and that is the main proposition.
His support, outside of the second inning,
was of the very finest.
The Senators started OF well, getting a
tally in the first inning on Browns safe hit
to right. Gettman's safe drive sending him
to third and then home on DeMont's out
and the spectators felt happy and the WIS.,
itors concluded their old hoodoo had again
come to the front. Tucker hit to center for
two bases but Tommy was caught at third
on Fox's attempted bunt, the latter going
to third on Breitenstein's wild throw to first
in trying to catch him or first. Swain
then singled. bringing Fox over the rubber.

planted his second safe hit in center. scor-
ing Swain and sending Setback to third.

conclusion. Farrell singled to left and
