Close Finishes at the Track-Jockey

of the Boxers.

The chief incident at the track yester-
day was the foulng of Big Dutch in
the last race, by FOucon, who had the
mount on Honest John. Foucon swung
Big Dutch wide at the turn into the
stretch and then crowded the horse
against the rail. all the way to the wire.
Many persons expected to see both horses
fall and it is really remarkable that Sea-
ton, who was riding Big Dutch, was not
injured. The foul was SO palpable that
the judges at once disqualified Honest
John and moved Nettie H., in the place
and Alaria in the money. Big Dutch was
first. Jockey Foucon was suspended and
it is probable he will be more severely
dealt with later
Jockey Stuart was again a star yes
terday. He had five mounts and landed
four of them winners. He had the mount
on Alarys Garter in the sixth race and
was beaten by bare nose. Stuart won
four races out of four mounts Wednes-
day, and thus has a total of eight wins
out of nine starts in two days. The at

(By Associated Press.o

New York, Aug. 23-Sir Thomas Lip
toms new challenger, Shamrock II, had
her first trial spin in New York lower
bay yesterday, and although it only
lasted 80 minutes it was most satisfac-
tory from start to finish.
Sir Thomas Upton and Designer
George l.. Watson, both of whom were
on board the yacht during her trial.
expressed themselves as perfectly salts
fed with the result.
In sailing about eight miles dead to
windward against two-knot tide, she
covered the distance in 81 minutes and
the reach back of six miles in 40 min
utes. The wind was fresh and fairly
steady and of from 10 to IL knots
strength. The yacht carried mainsail
working topsail, forestaysail and jib.
At times. while on the wind, she put
her lee rail under a little, but she
showed herself we'll able to carry her
sail, and she appeared to be quite as
stiff as either Constitution or Columbia.
Her sails set remarkably well for the
first time out. 81
The trial was all in smooth water,
except during the last mile of the wind
ward work, when she passed out thy
Coney Island point. There slight
easterly swell made her pitch little.
but not enough to stop Roadway to any
extent. She makes very little fuss under
her lee bow, carries hardly any quar-
tering wave, and her wake is clean and
smooth. ii T.
The yacht lis so perfectly balanced
ION the wind" that she carries neither
lee nor weather helm. her long tiller
being exactly amidships. The crew
trimmed and handled sails with that
smartness and precision that shows
experience and a knowledge of their
ship.
After the yachts anchor was down
Sir Thomas boarded the Associated

Shamrock would go out for a long trial
spin today, extending down to Sandy
Hook. and perhaps. II there was cleal

King Of the Turf Does the Distance in
go "a in a Mile Race With Lord
Derby and Charley Herr
Latter Distanced in the
First Heat.
(By Associated Press,)


Readxille, Mass. Aug. 23.-The cele-
brated Cresceus was the magnet yester-
day that drew almost $1,000 people to the
grand circuit meeting here. AS sort of
recognition of the favors shown him in
the way of applause when he appeared
upon the track the chestnut horse pro-
ceealed in the second heat OF his race
with Lord Derby and Charley Herr to
lower the. track record by three-quarters
of second and to break the world 5
record of final quarters by trotting the
distance in :29N. BY this latter perform
ance Cresceus lowered the record of 30
seconds which he himself made at De-
troit about a month ago, when he went
the mile in 2:05.
The accomplishment of yesterday was
the fastest quarter of all kinds. for both
Peter the Great and Tommy Britton did
the second quarter of a heat at Lexing-
ton, Ky, several years ago in 291a sec
onds.
Something of the interest was removed
from the free-for-all trot when Charley
Herr was distanced in the first heat,
thus leaving the affair to Cresceus and
Lord Derby.
All of the horses received a cordial
greeting at the scoring and when they
were off in the first heat Charley Herr
had the pole, with Lord Derby beside
hi mand Cresceus on the outside. At
the quarter the pole belonged to Cres-
ceus and at the half Cresceus was about
two lengths in front. At the three-uuar-

Helena and Great Falls Meets.

When the local track closes after the
races, Labor Day, the horsemen will turn
their attention, first to the six day Hell

to the Great Fails meet which opens
Sept. II and continues until Sept. u.

$1,000 and the entrance to ALL except the

The article then says that while no
official details are obtainable the pro-
ject will not only consolidate many
details of the steel business now sepa-
rated, but also serve to bring into
closer relationship these interests and
the great railroad interests controlled
by the Vanderbilts and the Pennsyl-

also to be closely allied with if not
made unit with large interests of

More Money for Navy.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The esti-
mates Of the navy for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1903. were made pub
lie at the navy department today. The
total amount is s99, 910, 1884 against
ST., 1924, 535 appropriated for the cur
rent year.
Secretary Long in speaking of the
estimates said that they were made
with due regard fort he needs of the
navy, and intimated that they had
the approval Of the administration.
He spoke of the increased cost of the
navy and said the building of battle
ship costing 55,000,000, was not the
end of its expense, as its maintenance
was very costly.
These estimates, he said, did not
cover any recommendations for increase
of the navy over that already authoriz-
ed, but it is more than likely the secre-
tary will recommend three new battle
ships and two armored cruisers and a
number of small gunboats,. The new
estimated items for the Norfolk yard
aggregate s1,2o8, 800, which includes
$3.50; 600 for the purchase of land.
An estimate Of $3.50, 600 is made for
a plant for housing and storing torpedo
vessels at Pensacola.

Proctor's Knott's Rabbit Story.

Since the Sampson-Schley contro-
versy has grown acute again there has
been considerable reference to Proctor
Knott's rabbit story in connection
with the credit for the victory at San
tiago. 1t is here reproduced:
Ex-Governor Proctor Knott and
John Yerkes were discussing the
claims of Sampson and Schley as to
the credit of smashing Cervera at San
tiago. Mr.. Yerkes took the ground
that all the honor of that memorable
conflict belonged to Admiral Sampson,
and was inclined to entirely ignore
Commodore Schley's part in the
affair.
The governor listened until his COM
panion had finished and then, with
that characteristic twinkle in his eye,
said: "My dear sir, it is exceedingly
gratifying to me to hear you take
the position you have in the matter.
It is like balm to my conscience and
settles a point that has worried me
many day. was walking through
the woods once with boy friend of
mine when we saw rabbit run into a
sinkhole. We stood around the hole
awhile; then I told the boy to keep
watch while went to get some fire to
smoke the rabbit out. When I return
ed the boy had the rabbit. I took it
away from him, claiming that it be-
longed to me because I told him to
catch it if it came out That was over
so years ago. and you are the first man
who has agreed with me that the rab-
bit was mine. / feel now that I was
right in taking it, and my conscience
is at rest
Mr.. Yerkes looked solemn for few
moments, then smiled a feeble. smile
and changed the subject.
