Anaconda May Get No Racing.

There is strong probability that Ana
conda will have no race meet this season
and that the seventeen days of sport,
scheduled for the Copper City, will be
pulled off in Butte. That will be
heavy blow to Anaconda. hut it is step
which appears necessary at the present
time. When it was announced a few
days ago that there would no transfer of
the races to Anaconda, until after the
additional twelve days Of racing here
had been concluded, the wise ones shook
their heads and figured that was simply
breaking the news gently to the Anacon-
dams. Enquiry developed that the horse
owners and horsemen generally, We're
opposed to removing to Anaconda for
seventeen days and then coming back
to Butte for the final twelve DAYS of the
meet. That was given as the reason for.
the change of programme. Now it APP
pears that the horsemen are opposed to
going to Anaconda at ALL and that lis
what makes it probable that the meet
ing will be a Butte affair after alls
Manager Laurence says. however, that
he wants to give Anaconda racing and
will put forth his best endeavor toward
that end. He took a trip to Anaconda
yesterday to inspect the race track there
and attend to some details necessary in
case Anaconda is to have racing. D..

Dog Cleared Track for Train.

1t is matter of history that a shep-
herd dog was an important aid in oper-
ating the trains that ran on the first
railroad built in the territory of Wash
ington. When Dorsey S. Baker con-
structed strap railroad from Wallula,
on the Columbia river to Walls Walla,
the trading center of the inland empire,
horses and cattle covered the Thousand
hills" and blockaded the valleys through
which the pioneer line ran. A dog was
kept on the engine to clear the track
when brutes became SO numerous as to
bring the train to a standstill. There
are many early settlers living in the
northwest who tell the story of the use
fulness of this little shepherd dog in
operating trains on DR.. Bakers rail-
road. The dog was used several years
and was known by all the miners of
Idaho and Montana who travelled that
way. While doing duty on the track
in front of the engine one day the faith
full animal was run over.-Portland Or

Great Sport at the Saucer-Anaconda

at saratoga-Other Sport
ing Matters of General

After being closed since Tuesday. the
saucer track was reopened last night and
nearly 5000 people turned out to witness
Hhe best card presented for some time.
There four bicycle races. three of which
were in trial and final heats, making ten
wheel events in all, and in addition there
We're Daniels, tn wire walker: Zoyara.
the globe performer and ED. Baisden,
the trick bicycle rider. Basden and his
wonderful feats are too we'll known to
need mention. Daniers exhibition was
clever, despite the fact that it was given
under disadvantages and Zoyara's
work was we'll received. After perform
ing on the revolving ball. on a platform
in the center of the track. he mounted
the spheriod and rode it around the
saucer.
The racing last night was spirited
throughout. the finishes We're close and
exciting and as there We're two spills.
with the general mix ups consequent.
the spectators had plenty to keep them
interested. The falls looked ugly but
none Of the riders who tumbled We're
seriously hurt, scratches and minor
bruises being the chief injuries.
The best race of the night was the last.
lap race for points. with seven con-
testants. 1t was a sprint from the crack
at the end of the third and concluding
mile. So fast was the pace that several
'corks were pulled as the riders put it,
and Bell, Burns and Staver We're the
only riders to really finish. May and
Niederhofer remained on the track until
the end, looking for fourth money, which
went to the former. The race was won
by Bell with Sc points. Burris and Sta
Yer tied for second place, with I points
each.
Hoffman again demonstrated that he is
speedy. by winning the first race, the
one mile handicap, amateur, in the fast
time of 1850 1-5, that being within 2-5 of
second of the worlds record. recently
esta blished by him at the saucer. Ray
burn with a handicap of 100 yards was
second; Murphy, 100 yards was third.
and Olsen. 1855 yards. was fourth.
The two-thirds mile handicap, profess
sional, furnished a surprise for Artie
Bell. who started from scratch. He went
after the bunch with his usual burst of
speed and overtaking them all, within
one lap, looked like a sure winner. He
appeared to be all in from that time,
however, and was unable to get around
Staver and Burris, who finished first
and second. respectively. Bell was third
in front of Niedrhofer who was fourth.
The time was 1:i9 2-5.
In the half mile handicap. amateur,
Hoffman was again a winner after a
hard race. He won his trial heat in SO
and the final in the same time. Stern,
10 yards. was second: Murphy, IS yards,
was third and Hopper, % yards was
fourth.

Wants to Fight Rubin

George Lawlsr the Irish Giant wants

last Friday by issuing challenge to
fight the Akron Giant" for side bet of
$1,000 and the best purse obtainable. the
figh, to take place before any reputable
club in the Courtry. Lawler is quoted as
saying:
"Ruhln sot a decision over ME at Dem
Yer when l knew less about the game
than l do at the pres sent time, and when
l was weighing only 10 pounds, whereas
now I am helv e.. and would fight at 1875.
1t was my Intention to cover Fred
Russelfs money with the Seattle Times,
me.
There is no reason why Rubin and
myself can nct come together. He has
no contract signed to meet anybody, and
the talk that Jeffries has signed articles
of agreement with him for a fight at
Frisco is all bluff.
II am writing to the Butte club tonight
to ask what it will offer and would like
to have that club take the matter up.
Il intend to stop in this city for
while and will make every effort to get
on with the big fellow. as l think l can
reverse the decision he once got over

(Ey Associated Press.)

Newport. r. L.. July 29.The last racing
event Of this years cruise of the New
York Yacht Club will be sailed today
when the flyers of the fleet will compete
i'll the annual contest for the Astor cup
The race has lo,ag been one of the prin-
olC'al features Of the cruise, having been
founded by the lac Ogden Gcelet over 20
years ago and continued after his dea tn
by Col John Jacob AH-or, Mr. Goe!et hav-
ing Offered two valuable cups for schoon-
els and sleeps and Col Aston supplement-
ing them each year
Every cup defender since the days Of
the Puritan in 1885 has competed in the
scoop class and all have won, with the
xSeption of Defender. in 1855. which was
disabled within four miles of the finish
when miles ahead
Up to the resent year ga $1,000 cup
has always teen given in the schooner
c'ass and $500 cup fo- sloops. But to-
Gay the value of tfess rrizes will be re-
versad, the larger of the cups going to
the ,sloops, cutters and yawls While the
smaller cup is offered to schooners.
The reason for this change is that for
the past few years the schooner feet has
been constantly diminishing, the interest
almost entirely being with the sloops.
For todays race Is sleeps and yawls have
been entered while only three schoonsrs
will prot ably start in that class
AS the sloop and yawl class includes.
besides the Constitution and Columbia,
three yawls ana five cutters, the own
ers of these two lctter rugged classes Of
vessels have arranged private prizes
among themselves believing they have
little show with the two cup defenders.
