CLEVELAND. o. July 30.-The Grand
fine exhibitions of speed. While the racing
was not particularly exciting, il was good
and a large crowd was in attendance. The
2:20 pace was the first event on the card.
Sally Toler was a pronounced favorite, and
she did not dsappoint her hackers. She
won in three heats with ease, proving from
the start that she was too fast for the
company she was in. She and Josephine
outfooted all the others, and in one heat
they went under the wire almost neck and
Leek and thirty yards ahead of all the
others in the field.
William Penn had been picked to win the
2:0S trot and he went after the race in
great form at the start. taking the first two
heats each in 2:0S24. but the brown stallion
lacked staying qualities apparently. for
after several exciting brushes with Dandy
Jim. Some of the finishes in this race We're
extremely exciting.
Oakland Baron looked like a sure winner
in the 2:13 trot, and he got two heats, while
Abnet and Mosul were being forced under
the whip for first place The Baron found
the field against him TOGO large however.
and Ritma landed the race after she had
outfooted the Baron and Abnet, who were
sent after her in succession Marion Mills,
a PAGER without driver or sulky, went an

KENWOOD AVENUE.
Residents of that ThorouEhfare
Greatly Dissatisfied.

Kenwood-avenue residents are aroused
by the action of the Board of Public
Works and the engineers department with
reference to the improvement of that thor
oughfare. Some time ago two petitions
asking for cement walks next the curb line
We're extensively circulated and signed by
most of the property owners. The board
granted the petitions and ordered the inn
provement. Everything moved along
smoothly until after the contracts were
let for the work. The contracts provided
roadway was to be graded and graVeled
After the contracts were let an INSPECTOR
from the engineers Office went up on the
avenue and looked about. Afterwards prop
erty owners discovered that arrangements
were being made to lay the sidewalks next
the property line and not next the curb as
asked in the original petitions. 1t was
found that this course was being followed
on the demands of one man, who has an
eighty-foot frontage, in spite of the wishes
OF some thirty petitioners one of whom
owns LOCO feet and another 1000 Inquiry
at the engineers office did not meet with
satisfactory results. City Engineer Jeup is
expected home to-day when an appeal Will
be made TO him directly. If their wishes are
not respected the property owners talk of
raising purse to bring a suit enjoining
the contractor from proceeding to lay walks
next the property line instead of next the
curb. Claims are made that no satisfaction
is given by the board at whose office it is
virtually admitted that the city engineer is
running things"

THE KID" is WILLING.
Mccoy VIII Fight at Cincinnati for
the Benefit of Striking Miners.

IT is probable that kid" Mccoy will not
get to make his West Baden trip. He may
have an engagement or two to fill while he
is in this part of the world which will keep
him busy. Last evening the Cincinnati En-
quirers correspondent in this city wired
Harry Weldon, sporting editor of that
paper. telling him of McCoy's proposition
to meet Jim Freaney for the benefit of the
striking miners. and asking if Freaney
we're ready and willing to meet him. Nc
Coy was anxious that the match come off
either in Terre Haute or Cincinnati next
Monday or Tuesday night A reply was re-
ceived from Weldon which read as follows:
Tell Kid Mccoy that Jim Freaney will
go him on the 9Th for benefit of miners;
that there is a heavy weight here, named
German, who will box him ten rounds for
IS and 25 per cent. of gate receipts next
Thursday. Give Kid my best regards"
Mccoy was shown the above and said: Il
will accept both. / will box Freaney on the
9th for the benfit of the miners. and IL
proper guarantee of receipts is made, will
accept the proposition TO meet German on
Thursday. While in this part of the coun-
try / will meet as many men as engage
ments can be made with. l am always in
condition and ready any time. / have heard
nothing further from Pittsburg regarding a
proposition that | appear there for the
benefit of miners and feel free now to meet
| During his stay in the West Mccoy ex-
poets to give exhibition sparrng matches
at Louisville and Columbus, Ind. Speak
ing of his probable match with Creedon,
Mccoy said last night: Il understand that
William A Brady and Dan Stuart are both
anxious to get the fight that they are
bidding against each other for it. All l
have to say is that thu purse will have to
be large as that of the MaherSharkey
fight Our fight will probably come off in
Nevada during the pugilistic carnival which
it is proposed to hold there this fall. We
have both posted the $1,000 forfeit, but no
details have yet been arranged. ! predict
that boxing will go in New York again this
winter in spite of the anti-prize fight law
and if it does | expect to be connected with
one of the leading clubs"
The aherSharkey fight was for a purse
of $4,000 and it is thus seen that Mccoy
has passed through the period of bread
winning fighting. He is now out for big
game and big profits. Mccoy said last
night that he was thinking seriously of
taking up ST Cullum, of this city, heavy
weight amateur pugilist of some promise
| He said he expected to take him with him
some time before long and bring him out.
But suppose. you should bring him out
and then afterwards you should fall before
| him your5elf?" he was asked
"Well, he IS an Indiana lad, and just so
he holds up the indiana end of the fight
/ will not kick"
Mccoy was asked if during his experience
| he ever faced an antagonist of whom he
vas afraid. and he replied laconicaly:
'All fighters look alike to me-"
