LAST DAY AT sHEEPsHEAD.
Mesmerist Wins Great Eastern, and
Holiday the Autumn Cup.

NEW YORK, September 9.-Ths was
the last day of the year at Sheepshead
Bay, and a large crowd gathered. The
chief event was the Great Eastern Handi-
cap, for 2-year-ods, in which Mesmerist
was asked to carp the top weight of 100
pounds, and nobly did it. Although first
away he dropped into second place as
Maribert took up the running. In the
stretch O'COnner turned Mesmerist loose,
and he went to the front 50 easily, and
maintained his lead so well, that there
was nothing else in the race at the END.
Maf1bert held second place 10 the last
furong, when Redpath and Gulden pass
ed him, and they finished In that order.
Ben Holiday was a slight favorlte over
Aluscadine and Bangle for the Autumn
Cup. at a two miles, ia spite OF ihe 1act
that he had not been TO the races Tor
long time. Bangle and Latson made the
running until the back stretch was reach-
ed. Then the favorite passed ms heiu'
one by one, until rounding INTO Ihe
stretch. when he was half dozen
lengths in front. and won, under a pull
lighting for his head, by eight lengths.
The time was better by 20 second
than has been made before at the track,
and the same horse held the record, with
126 pounds less on his back. Summaries:

New Evidence for 'Badger" Moore
New York Journal, 9th)


Mrs. Fayne Strahan Moore, whose hus-
band, William A. L. Moore, was convicted
of badgering Martin Mahon, and now is
in prison in Sing Sing, breaking stone,
has spent many months since the trial
doing detective work. She was in search
Of evidence tending TO prove the innocence
of her convict husband.
That she has discovered what she was
after is the belief of her counsel, Abra-
ham Levy, who made a motion In Re
corder COTS court yesterday that a new
trial be granted to Moore.
The newly-discovered evidence which
is relied upon to open the case includes
an affidavit disputing the testimony Of
MahOn. TO the effect that Mrs. Moore was
conversing with her husband when he
met her in front Of the Hotel Metropole
before the badgering. The alleged pres
ence Of Moore there went a long way to-
ward showing that there was a conspi-
racy between wife and husband, and that
Moore was following Mahon with ner
knowledge.
Mrs. Moore says she has found the men
with whom she was talking and that
they are ready to come forward and
testify that Moore was not of the party
Mahon declared In his evidence that
former -District-Attorney Philip
Duras was in consultation with Moore at
the Hotel GrenOble. This Mr. Duras de-
MES. Proof also is to be adduced that
Moore began divorce proceedings against
his wife Immediately after the badgering
and that his arrest alone put a stop 10
the suit. This might establish his good
/ faith IN the matter.
Recorder Goff heard the motion and in
structed Mr.. Levy to serve the papers
on the District-Attorney. He said he
would hear argument upon II next Wed
nesday.
When Mrs Moore was allowed TO go
free the Court stipulated that if Mahon
ever returned TO New York the case
against her should be reopened. In COM
ing forward with the present proceed
ings the woman risks her liberty, as Ma
hon, II is understood, now Is in this State.

CatslSills and at a seaside resort near New

THE FALLEN GLADIATOR.
Just as soon as Fitzsimmons reached
his dressing room, his wife, who was
anxiously awaiting the outcome of the
fight, greeted the fallen champion af-
fectionately.
Keep up your spirits, Bob" she said.
You fought splendidly and although you
was beaten, you are still the prince OF
fighters"
Martin Julian, F'itzsimmons' manager,
spoke encouragingly to the defeated
pugilist, but the latter seemed not to real
lie what was being said to him. His train
ers and sparring- partners laid the lanly
pugillst on a cot, and whispered words Of
encouragement in his ear Fitzsimmons
had only partly recovered from the shock
of defeat, and occasionally murmured:
How did I come to fight him."
Mrs Fitzsimmons and Mrs Dan Hickey

The great house filed very slowly, and
it was after o'clock before the police
had to bestir themselves and clear the
aisles. Time seemed to drag, and the alb

the crowd a fight appetite. They began

like wife, gained the building and dress
ing room by a rear door.
The disagreement as to the conditions
of clinches and breaks was discussed and
settled outside of the ring, and there was
but little delay when the terms were
agreed upon.
FitZsimmons' entry into the ring at
1c:05 O'Clock was made the occasion for
a theatrical demonstration. Julian was
first and then came the fighter. The
seconds were next in line, and then came
two men bearing a great floral piece that
was almost funerel in appearance. 1t
was inscribed Good Luck to the Cham
pion,' but the flowers are wi,ted now.
Fitzsimmons bowed ceremoniouS'y to it,
Jeffries was next into the arena and
like his opponent, got a administrative re-
ception. FitZsimmons looked lanky and

bright and his step elastic. He made a
