l1fH&H11 Of dignitaries OF the Presby-
- terrain church, who gathered here
to consult in reference to the work Of the
church in the mission field, at home and
abroad. While the matters under the con-
troll of the Nebraska synod were given
foremost attention, plans were also de-
bated as to ways and means for forwarding
the undertakings OF the church in other
directions. Nebraska Presbyterians are be-
coming an important factor in the affairs
OF the general body, as the local interests
of the church are increasing in all direc-
lions each year, with the growth In mem
bership and the addition OF new churches,
schools and the like. the added attention
from the governing body is natural. Thus
the consultation Of the workers over the
mission matters was OF great interest to
the members, and because of their wide
diffusion in the state. of interest to tho
public as well.

NOTHING DEFINITE DECIDED.
Lotus Does Not Have ain Option on
National League Grounds.

The report that an option had been OBJ
tanned on the old National League Park. at
the head of 7th street, by the American
League club is incorrect, and Is based on
the fact that the park has been offered to
Manager LOTUS for next year.
Attorney Wilton Lambert, who is repre-
senting Manager Lotus and President
Johnson Of the American League in this
city, said this morning to Star reporter
that nothing definite had been arrived at re-
garding the lease. The National League
lease runs out the LIST Of January, and the
owners Of the property say they will not
let the old organization have the property
again. The lease OF the present American
League Park Is for ten years, and If the old
park Is to be leased 1t will have to be at q
figure which will enable Manager LOTUS
to carry also the grounds in the northeast
without loss.
Attorney Lambert says the leasing of Ma
tional League Park Is purely q business
proposition, and will be done II reasonable
terms can be obtained. The Washington
club in It's present quarters has been maxi
ing money this season, and the patrons Of
the game are beginning to get used to trav-
cling out In the northeast. Friends of the
club have been after Manager LOTUS all
season to get him to take the 7th street
grounds, but up to the present time nothing
like an option has been obtained.
Next week Attorney Lambert Ia to meet
the owAers OF the 7th street grounds. talk

BRIGHTON RACES.
Eugenia Burch First in the Produce
Stakes.

There are q good many curious things
about racing that are never satisfactorily
explained. One such was in evidence yes
terday at the Brighton Beach track When
Eueenia Burch was allowed to run loose at
6 to 1 In the second half of the Produce
stakes which she won by half length
from Gold Money in a furious drive. Eu-
genia Burch had won three races at Bright
on Beach, leading the procession In every
race she has started in at the SEASIDE TRACK
and the scalps at her belt once belonged 10
some pretty shifty two-year-olds, yet all the
wise players had it all figured out IN thelr
books that the race was as good as IN
for Senator McCarren's Goldcrest nlly Gold
Money, and they accordingly poured IN the
money until she was such a not IaVorie
that few books would take any place money.
Even Duster was preferred 70 tne oaushteF
of Ben Strome, and Eugenia Burchs price
rose from to to l. and, on some states,
even to to /.
There was no doubt IN anybody's mind
after the race that Eugenia Burch was pest,
for. after she was caught by tne ia'or.e'
she had the speed and the pluck TO come
away again to victory
Mr.. Fitzgerald got the seven fillies OF to
rattling good start, and tommy carr 5
Courtmaid, 40 to chance, was first to
show, Odom swiftly rushed his mount into
the lead, and Burns. riding a waiting race,
held Gold Money tn fifth place. When ne
cut her loose she moved up raplday enough
and as the field swung into the stretch she
actually got her nose in front. Her ad-
vantage was shortiived, for when doom
went to the whip Eugenta Burch responded
80 gallantly that she soon recovered the lead
by half length and held 1t to the end Ihe
winner conceded weight to every one OF her
opponents excepting Duster. and ran the SIX
furlongs in 1.12 3-5-exceptionaily fast time
for two-year-old Ally. If she bears out
the promise of her early races Eusenia

LoNGwooD TENNIS TOURNEY.
Doherty Brothers Watch the Work OF
the Wrenns Closely.

With the Dohertys again on the courts.
the Wrenn brothers at Longwood, Mass,
brilliant weather and good crowd, the
tennis at the Longwood Cricket Club yes
terday took on much interest. Only two
matches were played in the morning, the
Wrenn brothers getting into trim with
good four set match in the eastern doubles
with H. H. Whitman and b. F. Merrill
while w. J. Clothier of Philadelphia played
one of the matches in the seni-finals for
singles with l. C. Wright, winning in
straight sets.
The result of the latter match was ex-
pected. so most of those who visited the
grounds gathered about the court where
the Wrenn brothers were playing. Among
this crowd were the Dohertys, who watched
intently every stroke of the American
cracks. They saw, however, little brilliant
play for the Wrenns put up the easiest
sort of a game, relying entirely on the
errors of their opponents to win once or
twice they put in little practice In lob
bing, while they practically thew away the
third set in order to prolong the match and
get more work.
The wrenns meet Wright and Clothier
today in the semi-fnals, and the winners
of this match will probably play the Do
hertys on Saturday for the championship.
The interest in the afternoon was in the
match of the Dohertys against Neely and
Leonard in the second round of the eastern
doubles championship, which the English
men won in straight sets Better playing
was between L. E. Ware and w A. Lar
