 Bone will certainly get great re ception when he comes here on Fri day with New Haven. 1t is too bad that this player will let his temper lead him into trouble. When he wants to be mean he can win all prizes ir the execution of that meanness.

New York, Aug 2S.-On the authority club it is stated that unless the Consti- tuition can make q better showing the captain and crewsof the Columbia will be substituted for the present company on the defender. Captain Barr, when asked about a report that the crews of the Columbia and the Constitution were to exchange places said he had heard nothing of such a plan. ''Colum- bia," he said, lis in splendid condition, and it would be hard to improve her. I have no doubt she is faster than two years ago--how much faster 1t is i'm possible to say. The reason for her increased speed is the perfect it of her mainsail." a

SHAMROCK IS A. DANDY.
Her Work Yesterday Has Set the
 Yacht Experts. to Talking.

New York, Aug 27. Shamrock II
 was given good long spin yesterday
 both inside and outside the Hook. She
 was tried i'll WindWard work and broad
 and close reaching. In fact the chal-
 lenger was given everything except
 spinnaker run in a breeze that some
 times piped up to 12 knots and at no
 time was under eight. Every test only
 served to emphasize the good opinion
 already formed of her speed, merits
 and ability to carry lofty canvas. Ex-
 perts who saw her performance call
 her wonderful boat and agree that
 she is the most dangerous proposition
 that has ever come over the waters
 hunting for the ;Americass cup. She
 had life in her every minute. She
 gathers way with remarkable rapidity, is quick in; stays, points very high and
 standsssup we'll under q tremendous
 spread of canvass as evidenced by the factsthat at no time yesterday did she
 put her rail under. even when wearing around, close hauled, taking a twelve | knot .bfeeze, yesterday morning.
 ThessonIy new @sai1 tried. yesterday was her largest club topsafI 1t was a revelation to those who's it aud is certainly one of the finest creations It appears much larger than the top- sails on the Columbia and Consultation.
 It extends further out oyer the gatf and runs up higher above. the topmast It
 is said that the distance. from the boot of the mast. to the top topsail club is | over 190 feet. Thessail sheets out very well and there is less looseness along the head than on either of the Ameri- | can boats. Sir Thomas Upton was on board dur ing the entire trial and when seen at
 Sandy Hook after the racer picked up her moorings seemed much pleased with her showing. .'This is the twen- tieth spin which the boat has had,'' said he, including her races on the
 other side. She is improving all the time and I am more pleased with her l to-day than ever before At no time did we carry any water on deck She 1 had life every minute, and if she does not carry back the cup, the American boat that beats her may well inspire
 pride in your people,
 The Shamrock covered the nine miles l from the southwest spit to Owrs Head
 against the tide of three knots in fifty nine minutes. The run back, over the same course, including six tacks, was done in fifty-seven minutes.

Fenn Was Beaten By George Collett
 In the Half Mile.

Boston, Aug 2S.-Six teams started yesterday in the six day race at the Revere track. The afternoons riding was very tame. The men were saving themselves for the night hours, when three of the teams managed to steal a lap on the others. Moran and Me Lean, McDuffee and Burns Pierce, Mayer and Bowler were the leaders at the end of the first six hours, having covered 1S4A miles. Bleecker and Downey, Alexander and Stevens and Dubois and Turgeon were quarter of a mile behind the leaders when the first session was finished. Bowler had the highest individual score, having covered 93% miles. $

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Billy Madden Wants An Unbiased
 Chap for Referee.


 Chap for Referee.
 William Madden, who ceaselessly talks for Gustavus Ruhlin, the Akron Giant, has delivered himself of an other gem of thought. In referring to the evident disipclination. of the San Francisco patrons of boxing to accept George Siler as referee. Madden said:
 All we will insist on is that the ref cree has no bias and knows the game. If the contest were to be to a finish the question of a referee might not be so important, though even i'll the case of a knockout, where ultimate decision is plain, referee can do lot to ia yor a man while they are boxing.
 We all know Siler. and l don't see what objections there can be to him.. '
 That is a characteristic Maddenson- ian deliverance. All the intellectual manager asks is: that the referee be without bias. But how is it to be known that the official is unbiased? Of course Siler will say he. has no par tiality, but how can it be proven? Pos sibly Madden thinks because he and Siler toured. the country in sparring ex- hibitions some years ago, the referees bias, if any, would be in the direction of Ruhlin Jeffries with the sweet recollection of the. Sharkey decision, does not believe he would be discrim- mated against. What sSiler thinks would make interesting reading
 Meanwhile Madden insists on ref cree without bias, which is quite equal to fl clause in some boxing rules he once drew up. In that instance he said the referee must be honestp' If some system of mental X rays could be turn ed on a referee previous to- a bout and thus determine where he was biased or dishonest it would prove long step in the direction of honest sport.
 NEW BOXING CLUB FOR LONDON.
 The National Supporting club of Lon- don is to have a formidable rival, ac- cording to a leter which was received in New York yesterday from ''Parson'' Davies. Davies, who is now in Lon don, writes that he has completed ar engagements to establish a new athletic club in the English metropolis. The new organization will be swell affair, Davies states. and adds that he has ar ranged several important fistic attrac- tionS for the coming winter, one of the encounters spoken of is between Tommy Ryan and Jack O'Brien. Joe Walcott was to have met. O'Brien, but the lat ter has refused to meet a colored man. Davies is we'll known abroad, having been in England for some time touring the country with the late Peter Jack son. Davies new club will be run on similar lines to that, of the National Sporting club. It will be exclusive in membership and only championship bouts will be pulled off. Davies will also make an attempt to match Terry McGovern to meet one of the English cracks in case he defeats Jack Rob- erts, with. whom he is now matched

 Roger Connor was again factor in the defeat of his old team yesterday and yet there are few who still say he cannot play baseball.

 The late father Petit was one of the best known priests in the Milwau- kee diocese. It may well be said that he was a fine representative of the pioneer priest. On one occasion he was preaching in St Raphael's church, Mad ison, of which he was pastor. 1t was a fine summer day and the windows were open. In an adjoining vacant lot a number of boys were playing game of baseball. Father Pettit's sermon was on Heaven and the means ot reaching there. He had just come to the end of a passage. How, then, shall We reach Teaven?" he asked, and paused in solemn manner. Just then came floating through the church win dow in high-keyed voice: Slide like the devil. slider 1t was one of the boy baseball players coaching a base runner.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

 New Haven, Aug More than G. GOO persons attended the bicycle races at the Coliseum last night. George H. Collett of this city won the half mile circuit championship race, defeating W. s.

Meriden, Conn, April 7.-Church
people are indignant because a photo
graph OF Miss Edith Evans has been
used as a decoration for the calendar
of a distiller. Miss Evans is the
daughter Of Deacon Richard e. Evans,

cial circles of Meriden. The calendars
are in many saloons, but Miss Evans
friends are tearing them down.
Il didn't know what they were go
ing to do with my picture, else should
not have consented to pose as l did,"
said Miss Edith Evans.
Il met a man who claimed to repre-
sent the Business Mems Exchange OF
Meriden, and / have only just learned
that there is no such organization.
HE told me to pose holding a
cocktail glass, which did. | knew
papa would be angry, SO | made the
man promise that no pictures were to
be used in this state. He said they
were for New York state.
Imagine my surprise when / was

me nearly every saloon in the state
has my picture behind the bar.
Papa will probably sue the man u.s.
ing the picture without his consent.

Dayton, where he had Pinkerton
badge made and forged the names Of
