THREE HEATS INSIDE OF 2:Os

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE opening
of the Grand Circuit trotting meeting OF
the Empire City Club. at the beautiful
Yonkers course. yesterday, was a
splendid success. and presages a meet
ing that will shine in turf annals. Fully
5000 persons were present, the track
was fast and the sport good.
Two-in-three racing was a pronounc-
ed success. and every heat was a race.
President Butler and Secretary Reeves
also wisely provided that a horse that
didn't rank as good as fourth in two
heats must go to the stable.
Fastest of Year.
There were four races, and the 2:0g
trot resulted in the fastest race of the
year It was won by Monte Carlo, the
favOrite, from the best field that has
started this year. Three heats. each
better than 2:O8, was the wonderful rec
ord of the race.
Major Delmar will start Thursday to
beat Cresceus' worlds record of 2:O2h
II he does 1t his owner receives 81 800
and If he fails not a cent. The horse
has a record of 2:O4&, and has a great
chance to dethrone Cresceus.
Eleven heats were trotted and paced
yesterday, none better than 2:1O. A S5-
note parley on the winners would have
netted over $500 600.

ASHRRING CHASE
Your Grace'S Back Broken
in Jumping Race.
MADDEN WILL RACE FOR FUN
Refuses to Send Aristocracy or Pulsus
Against Broomstick for Large
Wager With Brown.
MADDEN WILL RACE FOR FUN

SARATOGA, n. Y, Aug. 11.-Leap for
leap. stride for stride. and a grueling
fnish-that was the kind of a steeple-
chase that entertained the large crowd
at the track yesterday. It was the most
exciting country event of the
season. and when Amur and Foxhunter
came down the stretch abreast, after a
mile struggle. the spectators jumped to
their feet and yelled in frenzy.
The race cut short the life of the
gelding Your Grace, but the men and
women who found keen pleasure in the
contest lost sight of the pain and misery
that the poor beast suffered before he
was destroyed. in the JOY of counting
their winning bets.
End of Your Grace.
At the Liverpool jump. the second
| time over the course. Your Grace fell
| heavily. Porter, his rider, was not in
| jured. but the horse had his back
broken. A bullet ended his misery. The
track was in much better condition than
on Saturday, but horsemen were afraid
of it. after the accident TO Chuctanunda,
and out of sixty-foUr horses carded only
twenty-seven started. The executive
committee had a conference with c. W.
Leavitt, jr., builder of the track. to sug-
gest a remedy. Frank Clark, superin-
| tendent of the Sheepshead Bay track, is
expected here today.
For the first time during the meeting
John A. Drake allowed one of his horses
to run with only a small wager on him.
The Chicago plunger was not sanguine
of Conundrum' s ability. Conundrum was
ten pounds better than his opponents,
and won easily.
Match Race Off,
John E Madden will not race Aris-
tocracy against Broomstick for money.
I Speaking about Capt. S. S. Browns chal-
Ilenge for a race, he said:
II race for sport. 1 have beaten
Broomstick with Pulsus and Aristocracy.
When Captain Brown is ready to race
and tells me which colt Broomstick will
race for fun will accommodate him, but
I will not race for money"
The association announced yesterday
that an increase of $4,000 will be made
Ito various sweepstakes during the re-
Imander Of the meeting. Following close
lily his previous liberal policy TO horse
Imen, w. c. Whitney succeeded in con-
vincing the executive committee that the
Iclub could afford more added money &C
several overnight races.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Aug. IL
James J. Corbett has devised many
neat plan for encompassing the defeat
of Champion Jeffries when they meet
in the squared arena on next Friday
night, but his latest one is the most
novel of them all. He explained 1t yes
terday in detail in his training quarters
at Alameda.
'You know that jitsu game they have
in Japan" he said. They have some
260 ways OF killing or disabling a man
with a twist or blow Of the hand i
have worked out one or two Of them,
and 1 think they are SO simple that 1t
is a wonder no fighter has thought
of usirg them be fore. There is one
thing that will get Jeffries out of that
crouch in jiffy If I can work it on
him, and it won't hurt him at that.
IF you hold out your arm at full
length and jab your knuckles into it in
side, just above the elbow. you will find
that the arm will be nearly paralyzed-
The effect is just like that of hitting
your funny bone.
There is a nerve exposed there
with very little muscle to cover It.
To Cripple Jeff's Arm.
"Jenries in that crouch holds that left
arm Of his extended at full length
There is nothing easier in the world
than to swing a little short hook In
there. landing on that tender spot in
stead OF reaching for the head or body.
If you will try IT, just punching few
times with the knuckles of your hand
you can easily see that il Will be i'm
possible TO hold your arm out
"A few of these jolts would make JEFF
fries arm flop like the wing of a crippled
duck, and then where would he be? He
holds his arm in such a position that
il would be a cinch to reach the righ;
spot
Then there is another spot on tht
outside of the arm and Just above the
elbow. but that would be harder to ge
-.
''The effect of that deadening of the
nerve wears of in few minutes. but
in the meantime your opponent has
| crippled arm and you can do whRteve
you please with him.
Easiest the Best.
There are other ways TO use thi.
scheme, but the best is the one that is
easiest to use on Jeffries. There !:
nothing like being scientific in matters
OF this kind. One Of these little Jap:
can whip a man of three times his size
There is no reason why the same kind
of blow should not work on a man lik.
Jeffries. It can be delivered either witt
the Rnuckles or the edge of the hand
Having described the theory of th'
plan, COrbett put his trainers al worl
making practical demonstrations of IL!
effects. They all agreed that the effect:
of this blow on Jeffries would be TO make
him as dOcile as a prisoner of war ans
as inOffensive in a boxing bout as tbs
armless wonder OF a side show.

self some years ago to a detailed med

in him an excellent illustration of his
theory of the connection between gen

no need for reticence.

strong will and tenacity of purpose
