By defeating the St Thomas Cadets yesterday, the Brooklyn Athletic club has gained the lead in the City Amateur league as the Washington Hill A. O., fell victims to St Joseph's It was an immense crowd that viewed the contest at Riverside park between the Brook lyn Athletic club and St Thomas Ca dets. The game meant much as both teams were tied for the league. A yie- tory meant q position still at the top. The two teams were i'll great form and a great battle eiisued. It was pretty contest. Kinney was pitching for the cadets and Kelly for the victors and finely did they pitch. Only nine hits were made off both of them. 1t was a game full of interest and excitement and the thrilling climax came in the ninth inning when with two men out, two men on bases and the three to two against the B. A. C., Moriarity of the B. A. C., banged out q two base hit, bringing in two runs, thus winning the game,
 At Oakville, another interesting con test took place between the St Jos ephs and the Washington Hill A. o., the former winning by a score of ten to five. The St Josephs made seven runs in the first inning and thereby won the game. Schwartz pitched a

Bristol, June 1.-The home team continued its winning streak Saturday afternoon by defeating Meriden in a slow game which was uninteresting af ter the fifth inning Up to this time the visitors had found Clements com paratively easy and had scored four runs to the home teams two.

{ q < ] Buffalo, N. Y, June 17.-The series of field and track sports at the exposi- ton, given under the direction of the A. A. U., ended with the senior cham pionships. Not record was broken in competition. On an exhibition throw, Harry I. Gill of Toronto, put the discus 12O feet, 1111s inches, two and one-half feet better than the record. F. M. Sears of Cornell, equalled the 100 yards record Of nine and four fifth sec onds. Jerry Pierce, the Seneca Indian boy, failed to redeem the promise that his work in the fve-mile run held out. Frank M.

 Paris, ,4June IT The Grand Prix de Paris, which was run yesterday at Longchamps, was won byS Cheri, a chestnut colt by St Damien out of Cro- motel1e, owned by M. M. Caillaut and nominated by Comte F. de Saint Pha1le, and ridden by Rigby, the Amer ican jockey, who is regularly attached to the stable Tibiere, also belonging to M. Caillaut, was second, and Jacques Hennessy's Lady Killer, ridden by Les ter Reiff, was third. Tibiere is by the Bard, out of Thebaide, and Lady Kill ed by War Dance out of Lady Prioress. O1ympian, with Henry up, from which much was expected, was unpiaced afr ter having made pace for more than a mile and 3 quarter. $. <.
 Alcedo, in a splendid race at Sheeps- head Bay Saturday, leading almost from start to finish.r won the Suburban handicap. Ethelbert, the fayorite. was badly beaten, finishing next to last The race in spite of the indictment weather was watched by one of the greatest crowds that ever entered the Sheepshead Bay enclosure Eleven horses entered. The time, 2:O5 2-5, was only two-fifths of second more than when Salvador made the record eleven years ago. Alcedo was backed from 20 to to 4 to 1. Toddy at 30 to l, held second place until few jumps from the wire, when Watercure, 10 to l chance, passed him and left him third, Alcedo was the vehicle of sev- eral heavy p1unges made by heavy bet ters, all of which made his victory pop ular. For perhaps the first time in the history of the Surburban the bookmak- CTS suffered a reverse.
 New York, June 17.--It is not gener- ally known that Alcedo, the winner of the Suburban, received severe cut on the coronet of his near fore leg while at the post. The colt did not finch from the path, but went on in the race and got the money, with the blood triekling down his hoof. Alcedo has recovered from the race surprisingly well and has already been out talking walking exercise. He is a trifie sore in the spot where he was cut but other wise is in first class condition. James H. Mccormick, his tlnfner, has nothing but praise for Alcedo. He said: TAI cedo is the best horse ever trained. After his trial of 2:041a on Thursday morning, I was certain he would win the Suburban.0

a big natural advantage during the summer months, owing to its location and facilities. Manager Brady, when seen yesterday, said:
 ..There will be six prominent riders in the twenty-five mile paced race at the Beach on June 9. I have received the entries of Jimmy Michael, Burns, Pierce, Robert Walthour, Archie Nc Eachern, Nat Butler and Fred Hoyt. Provisional entries have been made by Johnnie Nelson, the little Swede, Fern, the amateur champion of 1900, Watson Coleman, Arthur Ross and others. So you see there is no lack of entries of the best kind.
 T have contracts with Harry Bikes and Jimmy Michael for their services exclusively in Greater New York, and they cannot mount bike this summer at any other place but Manhattan Beach I also have a contract with Johnnie Nelson calling for him to start a certain number of times at the Beach, so you see the cycle trust will have their hands full Interfering with my plans. It is on record that a good race can draw more money at the Beach than at all of the tracks named in the trust put together. I propose to have races there every Wednesday night and will offer better purses than ever have been hung up before in the cycle game.
 eff the trust managers think they have the best riders under control will match Jimmy Michael and Harry Bikes against any two they choose for a S5, ,O00 or $10,0Q0 side bet, best two out of three races, any distance. I do not include Johnnie Nelson in this def, as he is under written contract to

beginning his judicial duties as special

that he would administer justice as
impartially "as the behring's backbone

Isle of Man is not the only place in the
world IN which the animal kingdom
plays a part In the making of oaths.
One of the many modes in which Chi
nese witnesses are impressed with
the importance of telling the truth Is
slicing off the head of fowl. cere-
mony which is supposed to represent
the unhappy fate of the perjurer. Many
Indian witnesses were sworn on tigers
skins, in the belief that If they defle
their lips with lies their bodies will
become food for tigers, while others
stand on lizards skins and ask that
their bodies shall be covered with the
scales of the reptiles if they fall to tell
the truth. A Norwegian witness asks
that his meadows and cattle shall be
cursed If he swears falsely. "Cursed
be my CATTLE" he exclaims, my beasts,
my sheep, so that after this day they
may never thrive or benefit me; yea,
cursed may be and everything | pos
