RtsNN1NG INSERTING CLOSED.
a Fail Meeting WIN Open After the
Close OF the State Fair.

+ With yesterdays races, the summer
running meeting of the Wheeling Joe
key Club was brought to close The
meeting was tried as an experiment,
and although it has not proven fnan-
cial success, the officials of the club
are encouraged with the gradual in
crease in the patronage, and have re-
leased the track from the State Fair
Association, with the intention of con-
Quoting a fall meeting. 1t will begin
about September 18th, and continue
Indefinitely
The patrons of the club are very
much pleased with the manner in
which the races have been conducted.
So far as the officials are concerned,
there has not been even the suspicion
of unfairness. Mr. j. Underwood, the
starter, has most difficult position to
fill, but he is man of seemingly inf
mite patience, and he has performed
his duties in manner satisfactory to
all concerned. In at least one instance
when one of his own horses was a bad
actor, he was left at the post. He has
been impartial in every race. His uni
form courtesy and affability have
made him host of warm friends.
The position of judge is a thankless
one. 1t is to horse races, what the UNI
pire is to base ball, yet Mr.. Ed Waugh
has rendered his decisions so fairly
that he has commanded the respect of
the Jockeys and horse owners, and like
Mr.. Underwood, has earned the esteem
Of all patrons of the track.
Square sportsmen" is an expression
which smacks somewhat of the YER
nacular of the sidewalk, but which is
peculiarly applicable to Messrs. I'm
derwocd and Waugh. They will leave
fer their homes in Philadelphia to-
morrow, but will return for the State
Fair next week.

SEASONS WORST AFFECTION.

Oh, the man who tells his troubles
Now appears upon the scene.
And each grief ne more than doubles
By his melancholy mien,
For he sighs
With surprise
As his talent he applies
To destroy hopes glittering bubbles
Which were floating so serene.
AS he drops into a chair
AnG eXclaims In blank despair:
Great Scott
Al II 1t lot !
When at last you are forgetting
How the Precipitation glides.
In he comes, your mood upsettsng
Like freight train which coliidcs.
And his gloom
Fills the room
With the sadness of n tomb
When he bowls all unregretting
AS your patience he derides.
And he's hardly said farewell
Ere another comes to yell
Great Scott
Amt 1t hot !

TAYLOR'S PERFORMANCE.

New York, August 27.-Major Tay-
lor, the colored cyclist. met and defeat
ed Jimmy" Michael the little Welsh
man, in special match race, best two
out of three, one mile paced heats,
from standing start at the Manhat-
tan Beach cycle track this afternoon.
Michael won the first heat easily, as
Taylor's pacing Quint broke down in
the final lap, but on the two next heats
Michael was so badly beaten and dis
tanced that he quit in the last lap.
Taylor's work was so wonderful that
he was lionized, it being remarkable
both from a racing and time stand
point, and he established new worlds
record which was absolutely phenom-
email. For the first time in his racing
career Michael was Kissed by the spec
tators as he passed the stand dispirit-
ed and detected by Taylor's overwheim
ing victory

A SLUGGING MATCH
In Which Martins Ferry Won a VIC
tory Over Bellaire.

The Martins Ferry and Bellaire base
ball clubs crossed bats yesterday after
noon, on the mill grounds, at Mar
tins Ferry. The game was somewhat
of a slugging match, but had some re-
deeming features. The Martins Ferry
boys proved too strong for the visi-
tors, as the score will show. The fea-
ture of the game was the catch made
in deep center, by Donovan, of Mar
tins Ferry, by which he made a
double play by throwing to second
base. Score by innings:
Martins Ferry A 0 l 0 0 0 8 3-16

ovan to Walton.
Easton, CT the Martins Ferry club
wGs taken i'll in the second inning, and
his place was filled by Linn. The
Martins Ferry and Moundsville clubs
will probably play next Saturday, on
the formers grounds.
The attendance yesterday was coed,
but they failed to collect enough money
to clear expenses. The friends of the
team should come forward in bet
tey manner than this.

Knew What He Wanted.

Customer--I want some kind of a
door spring; one that won't get out of
order.
Hardware Dealer-A door spring?
Customer--Yes. And one that won't
require the strength of an elephant to
open.
Dealer-Hem!
Customer-And yet IL must be strong
enough to bring the door all the way
to. and not leave il swinging a couple
of inches.
Dealer-I Seei
Customer--And when the door closes
l don't want II to ram shut like a cat
apult, with jar that shakes the house
from it's foundations.
Dealer-Yes. You want one that will
bring the door all the way to, and yet
do II gently.
Customer-That's the idea. But I
don't want any complicated arrange
ment that requires a skilled mechanic
to attend to.
Dsaler-No, of course not. You want
something simple, yet strong and effec-
tive.
Customer--That's the talk. Something
that can be put on or taken off easily
something that will do its work quietly,
vet thoroughly, and won't be eternally
getting out of order.
Dealer--I see. / know exactly what
you want. SIR Just exactly.
Customer--Well show me one.
DeaIer-We don't keep door springs.

How q Half Naked Newsboy Clothed
Himself In an Emergency.

Shortly after the noon hour yester-
day, and while the big basin of the
fountain i'm City Hall Park was crowd
ed with boys indulging in an impromptu
bath, a policeman came hurriedly out
of the station house in the park and
started on a run for the fountain. There
was a great splashing and scrambling
time among the boys to get out of the
basin. and, in the general pulling and
hauling, one little fellow had his shirt
waist torn from his back. He had no
undershirt on, and when he stepped
from the basin he had on only a pair
of knickerbockers. Holding these up
with both hands, he started on a run
across Park Row and hid behind big
double truck that stood near Frankfort
street. The truck belonged TO some waste
paper concern, and among the bags
with which IL was loaded was one from
which few ends of white muslin were
hanging. At this bag the urchin be-
gan picking. Finally. out came a
woman's shirtwaist made of a fancy
colored lawn. 1t had pun sleeves and
plenty Of frilis and fiounces. In this the
almost naked boy arrayed himself. and
then amid the boots and yells of his
companions, he strutted along Park
Row initiating the walk that some
young women effect. He got as far as
Beekinan street when a bluecoat loom
ed up, and then, as his companions put
II, "he took out on run"
