tinue TO carry on the same traffic. We
viii sell 1t at a private sale, simply in
vitiug bids from outsiders and reserving
the right to accept whichever we please.
We she'll demand cash for the steamers,

1t is, of course, impossible to tell exactly

RYAN TRAINING NICELY.
Is so Per Cent Better Than When
He Met Mccoy Before.

Syracuse, ". Y, Sept. Bob Armstrong,
the coiored pugilist, who aspires To tie
heavyweight championship of the world,
and is at the head OF Tommy Ryan's
corps OF trainers, is delighted over the
progress which his charge is making In
his training for the big bout with Kid
Mccoy here September 8.
Il never In my lfe," says Armstrong,
saw a man improve as much as Ryan
has since the last time | saw him box, a
year and a half ago. He is 60 per cent
cleverer than when lac met Mccoy before
is 3w:fter on his feet. His punching pow
ers appear To me TO have increased two
fold. I don't think that the question OF
weights cuts much figure in the canning
contest. and believe Ryan capable OF
giving any man In the world a good ten
pounds ard beating"
Betting on the result Of the contest con
tinues TO be lively. Frank Mckee, OF
the Hoyt company, laid $500 against $500
with John Olive, the Well known book
maker, of Syracuse, Olive Ia king the Ryan
end. Gus Tuth'll, who was the hacker OF
Jack Dempsey, placed in the hands of Yank
ullivan on Saturday 81 600 with in
structions 10 bet on MCCOY against $3.50.

Speigel opened at 100 to ! at Harlem
yesterday and was hacked to 80 toll. He
won, and Patsy King, noted gambler of
Chicago, Won $4,000. The bookies were
hit hard.
Jockey Joe Hill is the crack of the
Newport riders. He is long way ahead
in the way OF winning mounts. IL. Will
Jams, Dupee, Gleason and Overton are
the other more successful riders.
1t is estimated that at Newport there
are 100 horses whose owners will jump
at the chance to get $500 for them
under the Skully plan of Kidding the turf
of skates" The first race of this natur c
was run last Saturday and was won by
Henry McDonald's four year-old gelding,
Simple Jack. There We're ten starters
and Simple Jack only beat Galley West
a nose for the first money. After the race
the horse was decorated with a floral
wreath, and the band pla yed Good by,

ing from the crowd in the grand stand.
Phil j. Dwyer'srace horse, Declare, who,
in the DAYS of Uofnnio and Dobbin, was re-
garded as one OF tile feetest thoroughbreds
in America, has been shot. Declare was
sent up to the Connecticut farm Of John
Hynes, the trainer, for rest, a month
ago. He bruised his unsound foot week
or SO ago while galloping about the pad
dock yard. The injured member swelled
up badly, and as the veterinarians in at
tednance could not give the horse relief
Dwyer ordered tiiat he be shot. Declares
death was severe blow TO DIV yer, because
he mad been the property of his son, the
late Phil Dwyer, jr., to whom the Brook
1yn Jockey Clubs president was very much
attached.

SPOKES- FROM THE WHEEL.

The rumor which has been going the
rounds that many of the local riders would
go out Of to IN To race on Labor Day has
been set at rest by the signing of entry
for Mondays meet.
Great interest is being conferred In the
club team race for the District chamDiOn-
ship ON Labor Day. 1t has been decided to
run this race In heats, as there are more
than half dozen clubs entered. This will
insure number OF exciting races In this
event beside the ffnai heat. The Conditions
governing the race will be explained In
the program.
A full list of the entries, together with
teh hdDdicaps will be published within
few days. Mr.. dose, the official handi-
cdpper, Is out OF to wn, but { he entries were
mailed To him last night and they will be
In shape for publication within two days.
Riders who have not sent in their entries
had best do so today as there W ELL be small
chance of their being I'm time IL There is
further delay.
A. F. Walters, of England. is still brea K
ing worlds records. In his race with
Stocks at Clifton yesterday ne rode thirty
three miles in l hour, 3 minutes and 5S SO
seconds, repeatedly tapping Stocks. He
also covered so miles and ITO yards in
2 hours. Furthermore, he broke the 100
mile record, riding the distance In hours,
% minutes and So 3-5 seconds.
The agitation among cycle manufactu-
reEs concerning the chainless wheel is C,a-
scribed as approaching the feyerish point
py NdFIcuS ihduuidctuTiDk JOufnafS. III Is
claimed that one company which stands
at the head in cycle manufacturing con-
trolls practically every chainless wheel pat
ent in America, yet, despite that fact,
other firms will place on the mar ket bicy-
Giles of the same type. The company men
toned has already declared its intention of
exacting royalties from such manufactu-
rers.
The Baltimore bicycle riders have, at
til eleventh hour, notified Manager
Clarke of their Willingness to enter three
of their best riders for competition In
an intercity race at the Labor Da y meet.
This proposition comes SO late that ii is
very doubtful IL the event can be arranged,
but Mr.. Clarke has replied that the race
Will consent to ride after their previous
hard work of the meet. Great interest al
ways attaches to these intercity team
races, and IL is TO be hoped that the event
can he arrangpd.

West End w. c. T. U.


West End w. c. T. U.
The West End woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union held its regular monthly
meeting last evening in Union NJ. E. Church.
Mrs. Clinton Smith presided. An open
ing hymn was sung; Mrs. Case offered
prayer, and short business session was
followed by general talk on Cuba. Mrs.
Mcmillan, d member OF the Women's Cuban
League, spoke of the purposes OF That
benevolent organization Mrs. Fitz-
gerald was then introduced, and read one
of her delightful stories of Cuban life.
Then followed an impromptu symposium
upon laws prohibitory and restrictive OF
the Iianor traffic. Mr.. 1. j. Smith spoke
of the Raines law and its adaptability to
the cosmopolitan State of New York. Mr..
Smith favored prohibition out and out,
and, better still, the entire suppression
of the traffic. Mrs. Catching spoke OF
local option and its working in Kentucky,
and the president praised the prohibitory
law IS Of Vermont. Mrs. Noerr, or the Wom-
ans Suffrage Association. said that pro-
hlbition would never prevail until woman s
aid at the ballot box was invoked.
Mr.. Philip Brook made very apt ohser-
vations upon the recent attempt OF the
Liquor League to break down the mile
limit around the Soldiers Home, saying
that the temperance people desired a
straight line, and that men OF crooked
ways desired a crooked line.
The action of Col. Richard j. Bright,
sergeant at arms of the Senate, In closing
the bars In the Capitol during the recess
of Congress, was spoken OF. Mrs. Wood,
Mrs. Fernandez and others commented
upon phases of temperance work, and
notices of the Anti-Saloon Leaguers' ap-
pointment OF q temperance Sunday were
given cut.

his opponents scored four runs.
While Pittsburg was striving to solve the
delivery of the Statesmen's pitcher. Wash
ington was giving Hughey, who was on .he
rubber for the visitors, a warmer reception
than "A prodiga: son. the difference being
that the Senators killed the bali Instead az

che eud OF the third inning the home team
had the game safely tucked away in Utie

Duke" Farrell pasted the ball in great
style, leading the, team in hating with
three hits, while DEMON treville, Get,

for two safeties each. Mercer, Brown and
Leahy were the only Senators who failed

week beginning Monday matinee, Labor
Day, September 8. Alarge number OF start
ling stage effects are employed. which
add strength to the performance. Elec-
tricity comes into play frequently, and
flashes of the mysterious light arc almost
constantly seen. A cross starting into
light by tie church wall daunts the fiend
amid bis loufiest boastings, flowers leap
into glowing blossoms in the scene where
Marguerite. gives herself to her lover, but
it is in the Broken scene that the acme Of
flight effect" is attained; fiery dragons
pass through the air, leaving train of
sparks behind and a veritable cataract of
electric fire dcscends at the close. A pleas
ant feature this season is the fact that
there is almost running accompaniment Of
suDdued orchestral music, which includes
much of Gounod's Faust sccre, and
other selections from the works of Ros
