Distinct from this landing, which is on st

attack on Santiago from the northwest.

not more than two or three miles from

They Know the Escapes
and Win Out Easily.
SOME FAV0RITES THAT LOST
MUCH MONEY ON FOR FREEDOM
AND ROSETTE.
The Great Championship Stakes Will
Be Run To-Day at Ingleside
and Union Parks-A
Fine Card.

The selling stake-tfe run down Of
which was decided yesterday at Union
Coursing Park-resulted In many surprises
for those who pretended to know good
thing in the coursing field.
The shortenders had gala day and the
most pleased men of the large gathering
that was present were the soldier boys,
who played the short end of each course.
The first upset of the day was when
the much fancied Magic was bowled over
by the little-thought-of Bendigo. Magic
sold at IS, while Bendigo found but few
takers at 81. Magic led for quite a dis
lance, but the hare was traveller, and
when near the escape Bendigo forged
ahead and scored go-by just as Bunny
passed out of sight. The judge declared
Bendigo led to the hare, took first turn
and then 1t was give and take until Ben
digo killed, winning the course
The second upset to the talent oceuraed
supporters at 81 a ticket. White Tip ran
a fairly good course.
Then came the defeat of the Denver
dog, Bryan, by Sylvanite. Bonhre, an
other Eastern dog, was played heavily
to win, because of some, alleged great
performance he was credited with haV'
ing made, but he proved himself to be the
worst kind of a duffer, and was easily
Golden Eagle defeated the favorite
Kathleen handily. This was to
shot Arapahoe disposed of Lissak. 2
to l favorite The most amusing feature
of the days sport was the three no go"
courses between the buffers Jimmie Hope
and Defender. Neither dog was able to
exercise any of the hares they met, but
the Judge finally decided in favor OF De-
fender on the ground of speed" shown
to the hare.
Peaceful Glen, who sold at 81 as against
"a on Eclipse, disposed of the favorite In
a good long run to the lower escape. The
soldier boys maue quite a raise" on this
course. Quite q number of mo goes"
resulted in the run down. The results
were:
Selling stake, the run down-Bendalong beat
Ruth Ashmore; Babe Murphy beat Lucernej
Bendigo beat Magic; Van Knapp beat Wild

beat Bryan; Revenge beat White Chief; Little

man.
This stake will be finished to-day, as
will also tn champion stake, which will
be the great and much looked for event
of the afternoon.
The winner of the selling stake looks
like either Gilt Edge or Seldom.

BATES FOR CAMP WIK0FF
SIGNIFICANT OFFICIAL VISITS
AT WASHINGTON.
Miles Among the Officials Visited by
Shafter and the Two Officers
Are Apparently Good
Friends.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-A special to
the Herald from Camp Wikoff says:
Camp Wikoff will see no moro of Gen
eral Shafter. General Bates, who is
now in command received orders from
Washington to-day that General Shat
ter had been placed in command of the
Department of the East, with head
quarters at Governors Island General
Shafter will enter his new command
at once, and General Bates will remain
here.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Herald telegraphs: General Shafter
this morning called upon Acting Sec
rotary Meiklejohn, upon General Cor
bin in an adjoining room and then
upon Major General Miles. Then Gen
eral Shafter called upon the President.
The conference between General Shat
ter and General Miles was apparently
most cordial and touched for the most
part only upon the phases of the Cuban
and Porto Rican campaigns. Although
the main object of General Skaters
visit to Washington was to present his
report of the battle of Santiago. he has
not yet been able to complete the docu-
ment and will not present 1t before
Monday.
Word was sent by me to General
Shafter that he was reported in the
morning papers as saying that General
Miles was present at Santiago only las
a visitor" General Shafter sent an ex-
plicit denial of this statement, and Ma
jor Miley said he had had no interviews
with any one and refused to consider
any question touching upon any point
between himself and General Miles.
Major Miley said the two generals were
the best of friends, and that there was
no cause for this agitation in connec-
ton with them. General Shafter will
remain here at least until Tuesday and
perhaps longer at the solicitation of
friends, though he desires to get back
to Montauk as soon as possible.
