PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 23.-Twice in this
season the race record of Rigby went by
the board to-day in most exciting contest.
Roam Wilkes was the hero of the event and
his or ortunity the 2:O7 pace. The field OF
starters was probably the fastest which
ever appeared on this track. -Four were
credited with marks less than 2:07 and one,
Directly, had earned his 2:071z as a two
year-old. The favorite was Bumps, who
has won first money six times In eight
starts this season. Bumps looked like a
winner but in the first and second heats the
roam son of Tennessee Wilkes dashed the
cup of victory from him, laundering down
the stretch first in 2:06 and then in 2:G5h.
After that Bright Regent took up the fight
where the roam dropped it and landed two
heats in 2;0SA and 2:07A. Darkness post

Park-"The broadway GIRL

1.-THE Broadway Girl has caught on at
the Park Theater and drew two large au-
diences yesterday. The comedy has a great
many pleasing features, and the general
verdict was that the piece is all right and
will be a winner The play really has a
plot, but it is of no Importance to the COM
edy. The performance is made up princi-
pally of specialties, the latter being very
nicely arranged and cleverly presented by
one of the best companies that has been
seen at the Park. Delmore and Wilson are
the two principal male members. while
Alice Hanson and Oracle Cummings are
the leaders Of the female contingent. Miss
Hanson is one of the most attractive young
women that has appeared at the Park. She
is striking in appearance, is sprightly
dancer and a good singer and made many
friends by her clever work. Leonard Del
more, in q light comedy part, and Fred
Wilson, as the Irish widow, are still popu-
lar favorites. The other fourteen members
of the company give the four principals
good support, and as a result, THE Broad
way Girl is a very entertaining show.
Delmore and Wilson, Oracle Cummings,
Alice Hanson, AL Weston, Waldo Whipple,
Waller and Waller, the Counts Sisters and
Ottillie De Land all do specialties individ-
er, the performance is a riot of fun and
music. The cake walk by the entire COM
pany at the end of the second act was a
clever thing, and was generously applaud
ed. The engagement is for the rest of the
week.

The approach of cold weather is bringing
TO an end the camp-meeting season, both
North and South, and in looking back over
the results many religious enthusiasts are
not satisfied with the harvest and are dis
posed to deplore the falling off in zeal and
fervor which is every year more evident.
They complain that the educational idea
is now introduced into everything and the
season when the camp meeting Is or ought
to be in full blast is taken and the energy
of the people drawn into entirely new chan
nels on the old-time camp meeting
grounds are erected handsome cottages
within gunshot of hotels and restaurants.
The old contagion of religious excitement
is largely checked by the antidote of polite
conventionalism, and the old 'Amens and
''HaIleuiahs" and ''Glories would be con-
sidered out of place. All this is equivalent
to saying that the developing processes of
the last fifty years have elevated US from
quantity primitive people to the plane of
more formal and Unconditional civilization.
Perhaps If Mr.. Moody had been an active
force sixty years ago, and had seen his
duty as he now sees it, he would have been
a circuit rider and preached in Gods first
temples instead of Carnegie Hall or Ire
mont Temple. But is he not working in
larger way? The religious abandon of the
old camp meeting was too powerful TO en-
dure and reactions were more frequent and
more spiritually fatal than now. The camp
meeting may still have place as potent
force but it is a force that drives in har-
ness instead of running wild as IL used TO.

Ont of rhe Mnrket-street wreck.

A damage suit growing out of the wreck of
Aug. last, in which a MOnon switch en-
CINE collded with a p, c., c. & st. L.
passenger train at Market street, this city,
was brought in the Superior Court yester-
day. The suit was filed by Thomas c. Jay
the fireman of the Monon engine against
the Panhandle Railway Company. Will
liam Martin, the Monon engineer. was killed.
The plaintiff AYERS that he was thrown
violently from the engine and his neck
and spine injured. He thinks his injuries
are permanent. He charges that the Pan
handle train which was late arriving from
Chicago. was running at a rate OF speed be-
tween twenty and thirty-five miles an hour.
He says that when the approach of the
Panhandle train was discovered by the men
on the Monon engine the customary signals
were given. In the opinion of the plaintiff
the train could have been easily stopped
had the speed been anything near the limit
allowed by law. The plaintiff demands $500
damages.

THE NATIONAL AGREEMENT
Leaves the Minor League at the
Mercy of the Big One.

mercy OF the Dig Oncs
The chances are that Indianapolis will not
be represented in the Western League base
ball circuit next season. 1t won the pen
nant this year and supported handsomely
what is far and away the best team that
has ever been seen on the circuit While
Mr.. Brush and his associates have not
grown rich from the club, they have about
made up the losses of the first year and
1896. They have not as yet intimated any
thing as to their intentions for next season,
but it is likely that they will not endeavor
to build up another team. The terms of
the national agreement leave a minor
league team at the mercy of the big league
and it's success is usually its undoing. This
vas in some measure the fate of the Indi-
annapolis team after it won the pennant of
1895, and it was more emphatically true of
the Minneapolis team after it won the PEN
nant of 1896. The players who had made it
a success We're all drafted and the best the
management could do in the case of Mime
apolis was to pull together a team that
barely escaped tail-end honors. After hav-
ing a team of pennant winners one season,
the Minneapolis public declined to support
an inferior team this season, and baseball
in Minneapolis was a disastrous frost.
Nobody understands the possibilities of
next season for indianapolis better than do
Mr.. Brush and his associates. Not only did
the team come out of the season with a re-
markedly high percentage, but the individ-
ual records of the players are away up
towards the top in both batting and field
ing. The magnates of the big league are
not usually asleep at the end of the sea-
son. and the business of raiding the Indian
apolis team has begun in lively fashion.
Applications from league managers are al
ready in for Goar, Phillips and Foreman,
all the pitching talent the club has; for
Mcfarland and Mccarthy, of the outfield;
for Stewart. the second baseman; Gray, the
third baseman, and Wood, one of the
catchers. lnasmuch as Motz at first Ho-
griever in right and Flynn at short are also
stars, it seems likely that they also will be
gathered in, leaving the club without a man
to start on.
While the management could hustle about
ana get together a pretty fair team, it is
doubtful whether the Indianapolis public
which is accustomed to these players and
likes them, would support a practically
new team next season, and it is difficult to
see anything but financial loss ahead 1t
is not likely that the unfriendly attitude
have always held towards Indianapolis will
have any weight in determining the action
of the owners of the club. They have stood
this ever since the circuit was organized,
and II other conditions were right it
probably would not bother them. The op-
fion on the team and franchise purchased
about the middle of the season by A1eSsrs.
Dickson e. Talbot was never taken up. and
1t is understood that negotiations in that
direction have been dropped

NEW YORK, Sept. pa meeting of the
directors of the Cycle Board of Trade was
held behind closed doors in this city to-
day. Guarantees and bicycle shows were
discussed. The board had decided early in
the year not to sanction any cycle shows
but the manifest desire of cycle dealers to
hold local exhibitions brought out another
discussion on the subject. In Brooklyn
Philadelphia and Chicago the local men are
particularly anxious to hold cycle shows
The question of real interest to the rank

bikes. 1t was given out after the meeting
that new guarantees are to be for sixty
