Applications were made for many

New York man rode fifteen centuries
within the time limit by the club, OF
twelve hours for each century.
In the state competition Gurnee mas
taken the lead from the very start, ana
has maintained it throughout the whole
season. He has long since broken the
record for Minnesota, which Hanson eS-
+ablished wears ago, of 50 centuries. He
leads the national competition in mileage,
and is an honest, sturdy rider, and his
record will no doubt stand for a long

FATHER OF BILLIARDS.
So a Chicago Paper DenOminates
!sTom" Foley, the Billiardist.

The current issue Of the Weekly Carom,
a new billiard paper in Chicago bears
on it's cover front an excellent portrait
of Thomas p. Foley. formerly of st. Paul,
labeled 1.-The Father of Billiards" There
is also q full page view Of his present
quarters at State and Adams streets,
and a long article ON the veteran Clar-
ence Green.
The writer pays high tribute to the
veteran sportsman. who gave to chicago
the billiard and base ball prestige 1t has.
Says. Mr.. Green:
Billiards is not the only sport in which
lem Foley's name has become famous.
There are few men more intimately &C
quainted with the base ball history OF
this country. and to none more that he is
the game indebted for its popularity to-
day. In 1869 the Red Stockings, OF Gin
cinnati, were beating every base ball
team in the country, and Foley deter
mined to stop that victorious career. In
the fall and winter Of that year he Sc
cured a charter and organized the White
Stockings, who will ever live In base
ball fame. 1t was Foley who secured
BUYERS for all the stock Of the company,
hired every one of the players, designed
their uniforms, and stuck to them until
thev had lowered the pride OF the RED
Stockings in two successive defeats. IL
was Tom Foley who gave 10 the pdse os'ii
world William Hubert. AS a stoekholder
in the White Stocking venture, Hubert
became interested in the game, and fater
organized the National league, OF Whlch
he was president until MS death. In the
spring of 1871, Mr.. Foley secured from the
city council, a lease of the Lake Front
park. He laid out diamond and erect ac
ed a three-tier grand stand, Wmch WAS
the finest in the land, and only 10 nave H.
it it swept away by the great fire Of 1szl
In 1873 he opened a thirty-table billiard d

ed at Gravesend.


ed at Graxesend.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4aO.-At Gravesend
track two horses running under the col
ors of the Western huffman, Frederick
Foster-Abuse and ST. lClair-broke their
legs in races in whichsshey were favor
ties and had to be killed on the track.
though every one kneW the old sprintar
was sore and lame aae was made strong
FAY orite at to S. Is Hessbroke away from
the post with all his old time dash, but
soon fell back in the ruck. At the last
furlong he was seen to falter and then
to fall. His jockey, Jenkins, fell under
him and looked to be seriously hurt.
When Jenkins was pulled out he was
half conscious, but revived at once. He
| looked at Abuse moment and eXclaim-
/ cd:
THAT was a close call. l have got to
ride another horse for Foster today-St.
| Ciair-and | hope I'll have better luck" .
! While Jenkins was limping back to the
stewards stand poor old Abuse, feet
| Splinter and the winner of scores OF
! scores of races, was killed by an agent
of the Society for the Prevention of Cru
| city to animals.
In the fifth race Jenkins rode his sec
ond Foster horse-St. Clair. Again this
mount was favorite in the betting, and
again there were rumors of lameress and
| soreness. ST. Clair was only recently
bought by Foster for s., 800 at pubic auc-
ton, and some of the bettors refused to
believe that a horse SO valuable would
| be run when lame.
| On the back stretch st. Clair stumbled,
| just as Abuse did, and then stopped so
| suddenly that Jenkins was tossed under
| the fence and into the intield st. Clair
started to continue after the other horses
and then held up his broken leg and look
ed pitifully toward the grand stand. A
merciful bullet ended rs Sufferlngs.
ST. Clair, it was said after the race,
was really owned by Frederick GeTken,
the New York liquor dealer. Abuse be-
longed to Foster Both horses were lame
before going to the post and We're known
to be lame by most of the bookmakers.
