Amateur Hurley Makes Another
 World Record at vailsburg.
 Marcus l.. Hurley of the New York Athletic ubMestablished a new ama- teur record for five miles at the Vails.
 burg track, Newark, yesterday. But the amateur champion did not fare very well in the half mile open, as he failed to finish among the winners. Kramer,
 Bald and Collett wished to make post
 entries in the professional handicap,
 but the track management refused to
 accept them and the riders were forced to be spectators.
 Hurley, Ellington and Glassen start
 ed from scratch in the five mile anna teur handicap, with Sch1ee at fifty yards. The field had closed at four
 miles and the riders were in an almost solid mass at the bell. On the back
 stretch Glassen fell, Ellington falling over him. Achorn. winner of the mo- tor bicycle at Manhattan Beach the
 previous day, was trailing Ellington, and he, too, went down. Both Billing ton and Achorn were carried to their quarters, and it was said their collar bones had been broken. Hurley won by eight yarus in 10 minutes 5S sec
 onds, worlds record time.
 Tn the twenty-five mile motor paced
 race Munroe started out behind a sin
 gle as his tandem had been broken at
 Manhattan Beach the day before. Cald- well followed tandem and led from the start. In the twelfth mile the chains on Munroe's pacing and relief tandems were broken and he was forced to ride unpaced. After Cald- we'll had gained a few laps on the southerner, Caldwe1Ps manager sent
 out his own single to pace Munroe. The latter did so we'll behind his opponents pace that he began to regain his lost
 ground. Caldwell was then switched
 behind the single and 1funroe was again left without pace. Caldwell's s tandem was afterward sent to Nun roe's relief, but he refused to follow it.

That was nice crowd that was down to see the ball games between the City league teams on Saturday, 1t proves that the people are willing to help the amateurs to give good base ball.
 Dawson is pitching 8 fine game for the Second Ward Athletic club. In a game with the Watertown team on ] July he struck out Il men,. He 1 struck out Paul Welton, of the Yale college team twice, once when three men were on bases.
 | Poor base running and coaching are general characteristics of, the playing of the Jeffersons fla few of the players would assist in coaching and not leave this work to one or two | players, they would win a few more games and their lady friends would like them as well.
 The patrons of the games of the City league on Saturday were not accorded many favors as far as trolley service was concerned. When the last game was over there was but one car tc carry four or five hundred people. Inat car left the grounds loaded down al 6:30 and it reached the center at sever l minutes to z.
 I The next games between City league teams on Saturday afternoon will bt held July 1S. It has not yet been de cided what teams will play, but it i. possible that a game will be arranged between two teams whose managers have wagered a side bet on the resul of three games between their respective teams. Two games have already beer played and each has lost one This vii probably decide the. wager, if they con sent to meet on Saturday, July 19. It is said that the game between the Washington Hill A. c. and the St Thomas cadets, which was played al Riverside park yesterday afternoon and was won by the w. H. A. c. by tie score of II to z, will be protested by the Cadets because player named Pagan played with the w. IT. A. c team. Pagan first played with the w
 H. A. c. and then on Saturday he play
 ed with the St Josaphs.g Yesterday ht again played with the W. H. A. c. The protest, if there should be one, will be
 made under Section of the Rules Re
 lating to players. Section reads: "A player leaving a club with which he
 has agreed to play for the purpose o1
 playing with and who does play witt
 another team in this league shall no1
 be allowed to return to and play witt
 the club he has left. If team plays
 a man that has left the team shall for Efeit the game"

GOLD HEELS GREAT RAGE.
Does the Mile and Quarter in Record
 Time


 New York, July 7.-Gold Heels won the Brighton handicap at the Brighton Beach track Saturday in the fastest time ever made by horse for this distance on a circular track. The race was whirlwind from start to finish. The quarter was covered in 0:23 3-5, three-eighths in 0:36, the half mile in O:4S, five furlongs in TOP 2-5, three quarters of mile in 1:13. seven furlongs in 1:2534, one mile in l :38 2-5, and the mile and quarter in 2:03 4-5. Gold Heels took the lead just before the mile was completed, so that the time for that distance was attributed to him.
 The best previous time for the dis tance on a circular course was 204, made by Charentus, six year old, in 1900, who carried only 106 pounds. The best time for mile and a quarter straightaway is 2:03A, made by Ban- quet in, 1900, who was then a three year old; and who took up 10s pounds. This record was established at Mon mouth park and was run downhill. Gold Heels, therefore, appears to be entitled to the palm, in that his per formance was decidedly better than either that of Charentus or Banquet. Gold Heels is four years old and is a son of the celebrated runner, The Bard.

WITH THE HORSES.
All the Forfeits Posted for the Race
 at Charter Oak.


 Now that the second installment of forfeit money for the two great trot- sons Boralma and E. K. Smathers' Lord Derby and John J. Scannell's The Abbot, amounting to $40,000, has been posted, there is considerable specula- ton as to who will capture the big stakes.
 Each race is for a stake of $4O,OOO, exclusive of the gate receipts, which are estimated at $15,000, and as the | winner is to take all, according to the agreement, the total winnings for each race will amount to about 5000, one of the largest stakes ever contested for on the turf.
 I With the true sportsmanlike spirit which prompted them to match their famous trotters for such a vast sum of money, the owners of Lord Derby and The Abbot have posted $10,0oU forfeit each, while MT Lawson, owner of Boralma, has posted S20,O00, as the Boston trotter is engaged in both races.
 Both matches have been consum- mated without the slightest hitch, de- spite the amount involved, and the f. nal date for The Abbot and Lord Der l by race was announced yesterday The horses will meet at the Charter Oak track at Hartford on August 30.
 The Boralma and Lord Derby match will also be decided on the same track and will be the first of the matches to | take place. The date is August 2, I less than a month away, and the horses are all said to be in the best possible condition for their struggle on the turf.
 Of the two matches the meeting be- tween Lord Derby and Boralma seems the most evenly balanced so far as the horses public records are concerned, only being half second apart. With these two horses it would appear bat l tie between the trainers, to see what increased speed they can add to their charges.
 As yet neither has been asked to go anywhere near his limit. but they have wintered in excellent shape and have done all that they have been asked to do, which shows that their trainers are not the least bit alarmed if the work from now on is satisfactory. l Last season Boralma was said to l be little off in his form, still he re- duced his record. Lord Derby won some grand struggles on the track last year. and in q race with the mighty Cresceus he forced the cham pion to step the last quarter of the mile in the remarkable time of % sec onds in order to Carry off the honors. He was bought at Madison Square Garden last winter by MT Smathers for little over S12,000. but previous to that time Mir Smathers made pri- vate bid of S12,000 for the horse, which was refused by the Hamlins.

Hartford made fifteen hits off the delivery of young Chapin, including two two-baggers and a three-sacker, and that virtually tells the story of the con fiiet Saturday at Hartford. Water bury. onntne. other hand. got but six safe ones off Jim Kennefick, who had perfect contfol and pitched a heady game. An inkling of Chapin's fate came right at the start, when four hits and free pass netted five runs. After that the boy steadied down some until the eighth inning, when his second as- tension was more costly and before the side had been retired Hartford rolled up six runs on four hits, two passes and two errors.
 Waterbury's three errors were disas- trous, two by Short. resulting in two runs. The score:

AMATEURS ON THE DIAMOND.
Brooklyn A. 0. and Pastimes Won the
 Games Saturday Afternoon.

Brooklyn A. 0. and Pastimes Won the Games Saturday Afternoon. Saturday was field day for the City | Amateur league and nearly 1000 peo- | pie were down on the Athletic field to
 witness the two games of base ball be- l tween the St Josephs and the Pastimes
 and the Brooklyn Athletic club and the
 Jeffersons. Lose who were present
 saw some good and some bad ball play
 ing, but they remained until the last
 game was over, which was not until i 6:30.
 ] The first game was between the St
 Josephs and the Pastimes, and the
 scoring was done for each team in just
 one inning. The St Joseph boys took
 the lead in the third when they scored
 three runs, but in the fourth the team
 went to pieces and the pitcher was hit hard and often. The result was that
 the Pastimes scored nve runs. There
 the game stood to the 1nish. It was q pretty contest aside from a few bad
 misplays on each side. The score:
 Pastimes 70 o 0 5 o o o 0 0-5 12 3 St Josephs 70 0 3 0 o o 0 0-3 D The sS~ond game, while it was not
 as close as the first one, was an ex, citing one, and each team had packers | by the hundred. The game was con tested by the Brooklyn Athletic club and the ffersons. The Jefferson boys were the favorites with the crowd, but the Brook1yns were the fayorites with the betters. Brooklyn started in to win
 right off the reel and in the first inning scored two runs Another came to the
 Brooklyn boys in the fourth and two
 more in the sixth. A good many of | those runs were made by very loose playing cn the part of the team behind Hayes. The latter, however, while he
 was not hit very hard. gave many in the sixth, tying the score, and their friends rooted for dear life. The
 Brooklyns again dashed to the front in their half of the sixth, scoring twice,
 and again did the Jeffersons tie them in the seventh. With the score tie and two men out ill the last half of that inning, the left fielder of the Jeff fersons dropped an easy one in left field and the three men who were on
 bases raced home. The Jeffersons seemed to lose heart after this, and while they scored one in the next in
 ming, the Brooklyns scored six Tn the last inning the Jeffersons made spurt and, encouraged by the shouts of their friends, they scored five times and then
 stopped. It was as exciting a game as
 has been played on the field in some days. The score:
 Brooklyn 20 0 1 o 2 8 6 a-14 8 6
 Jeffersons 70 0 0 o 0 3 2 1 5-11 lv 9

THE SENATE.

Washington, April 15-The debate on the Chinese exclusion bill was practically concluded today and voting on the bill and amendments will begin at o'clock tomorrow. By general consent vote was taken today on two important amendments offered by MT. Fairbanks Und.), striking out the definition as to Chinese students and teachers and they were agreed to without division. These changes were made with a view to re- conciling some of the opposition to the measure. which has been directed against the rigid restriction on students aud teachers and the unnecessary inconven- ince this would impose on the educated Chinese class coming to this country.
 The debate was participated in by Sena- tors Heitfeld Udaho) Penrose (Pa.) and Turner CWashn) Tn favor of the bill and Senators Pritchard (N. C.) and Spooner (Nls.) in opposition.
 MT. Turner made tho assertion that politics had crept into the discussion and that most of the members of the majority was opposed to the bill
 This brought out sharp rejoinder from MT. Spooner who maintained that politics had not figured in the discus sion and that the opposition to the present bill was due entirely to it's conflict with the treaty and not because of any op- position to Chinese exclusion which was an established doctrine of the govern ment
