A New Norman Conquest,

The Normans have descended upon
England again For week they have
overr,n Hastings and Senlac and Battle
Abbey and though led by no WILLIAM
Of Normandy, the heads Of the exped-
ton, the Marquis DE LA RoCHfTHrLoN
and Baron JEHAN SoUDAN DE PIERRE
FlTTE, bear names a. picturesque as any
that came over with the Conqucror.
They were obliged TO leave behind Mile.
DE LA Tour d AuvERGNE, a name glorious
under the old order and the new.
IL was an antiquarian society, lie
Souvenir Normand, that visited the
scene Of the exploits Of it's forebears. II
had its MINISTRIES with it like Duke Will
LIAM. Not TAiLLEFER, who rode before
the host singing of ROLAND and Of OLIVER
and of the brave knights that fell at
Roncevaux, but trained chorus which
chanted to the air u God Save the King,
quaint rhapsody that lie Souvenir

The Normans followed this up with
an open-air performance at Hastings
by Partisan opera troupe of Les
Cloches de Corneville. which, curously
enough has been adopted by Normandy
as sort of national product and is being
employed extensively to arouse the dor
mant patriotism of the old province.
Knife and fork were the weapons
used in the new invasion, There was
much speaking in French and English
which their common origin, We trust
made Ineligible to the Normans from
either side of the Channel The visitors
set up a tablet to their late defeated
foe, King HAROLD, and both sides talked
with enthusiasm of the entente c0rdlals.

more poetic anthem.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Terry McGovern's Cincinnatus Cap

the bookmakers' cash after the first race
All cashed large bets when the prize fight

winner.
Terrible Terry's" color green. acted as a
mascot After many disappointments this
winter, Cincinnatus, true to his colors, Won
first money. The spirit of Ireland's patron
saint must have guarded him In his run. for
the colt stumbled repeatedly in the treach-
erous soil and only secured the decision by
a small margin. Just as he passed the post
he stepped in a hole and fell to his knees
but Immediately regained his feet without
throwing his rider. who was Fuller, Tim
Sullivan's $4,000 Jockey.
The St. Patrick's day handicap was won
by Ben Chance from De Reszke and Mar
shall Neil, his two opponents. 1t was a poor
contest. Marshal Neil. the l to 8 favorite
was badly handled by Cannon. The race
was worth Sl.O25 to the winner.

GALLAGHER GAINS ON SUTTON.
Spurts With Run Of Ninety Eight in
Billiard Contest

The fourteen-inch balk-line contest be-
tween Tom Gallagher. who is we'll known in
this city. and George Sutton. the handless
expert. In which the former is playing 15OO
points to Suttons 100. was resumed last
night at Green's Montauk Academy in
Brooklyn. The play opened slow, the fast
cushions making it difficult to hold the
balls. but in the tenth inning Sutton show
ed pretty driving with good results. Time
and again he brought the object balls close
together after lengthwise and cross-table
tours.
Sutton turned into his second hundred
with Gallagher ten points behind him. SUIT
tons average for the first seventeen innings
was just g. He had only two goose eggs In
this time. He made a jump shot in the
eighteenth inning which astonshed the on
lockers. Gallagher. meanwhile was having
all sorts of trouble controlling the balls.
They were as unmanageable as untamed
broncos. and the veterans play, owing to
table conditions. was wide and scattering.
Position was more guesswork and luck than
skill.
Gallagher caught and passed Sutton with a
run of "a. but Sutton went to the front again
nine innings later. But Gallagher complet-
ed 200 points first. He swung into the last
string with a splendidly mustered group Of
99 He gagged the speed Of the table all at
once and used a wide nurse, an occasional
drive and accuracy for the prolonged and
ably played inning. 1t was as fine squirt
as one could wish for. Sutton was 81 points
behind his handicap when Gallagher went
out.

ton Indicate that these three teams viii be
exceptionally strong. The University OF
PENNSYLVANIA also promises to have team
far above the average, SO that the fight 1or
the intercollegiate championship Will be
hard one.
At Harvard the prospects are particularly
bright Under the leadership OF capt war
ter GARRISON and Coaches Chesoro ana
Keeler a large number of candidates have
turned out for the preliminary practice.
Nearly all of the old men are still In the
university and trying for the nine. The
only position which is causing worfiment
at present is that of catcher.
Herman, the foot ball player, Is the best
catcher in the university, but he is needed
on the track team and may not play ball.
At Yale the problem has been to find good
pitchers, but this has been satisfactorily
solved by the work which M. II. Bowman.
the foot ball player. has been doing In the
preliminary practice.
Coach Frank Donahue has been working
with the ex-Hill school boy and predicts
that he will develop into one of the best
twirl6rs on the college diamond this spring.
Captain Wfnslow. the former Philadel-
phia schoolboy, will be the mafnstay of the
Ellis behind the bat.
Princeton has apparently the poorest
prospects of any of the big Four" The
Tigers nave lost nearly half dozen of
their veteran players and will have to de-
velop some stars to hold the place they
have occupied for the last few years.
The Quakers have been the first to be-
gin outdoor practice. Captain Orbin and
Coach Roy Thomas are both advocates of
early work In the open and for this reason
the Red and Blue has got the start over
all rivals.
What makes the coming season of more
than usual interest Is the scheduling of
games between PENNSYLVANIA and Prince
ton and Yale.

BIG BASE BALL SALARIES.
Good Contracts Made Last Year Garry
Through This Season.

The present season Will put an end to the
era Of big salaries. Those, players who were
fortunate enough to have made three and
four-year contracts before the base ball
war was terminated will continue for a time
to reap the profits Of their thrift and fore
sight but all who make new contracts from
now on will have to submit to radical cuts
Some Of the salaries to be paid this year
are up in the five figures The $4,000 which
was necessary to secure Willie Keller for
the New York Americans from Brooklyn is
without precedent in the history of the
game. It is not only the highest salary ever
received by bali player, but Is, In fact,
more money than was paid ont In salaries
to entire teams twenty years ago.
Patsy Donovan, the star outfelder and
captain of the st. Louis Cardinals, Is an
other player who was lucky enough to get
his name signed to contract calling for
an amount almost equal to the average
bank presidents salary. Donovan's two
hours work every afternoon will net him
the comfortable sum Of 5000 for the sea-
son. Donovan had contemplated retiring to
go into business, but was won back to the
game by this magnificent offer.
Third in the list of player plutocrats
comes John Chesbro, the crack twirler OF
the Pittsburg National League team of last
year, who has left Dreyfuss and will play
with the New York Americans this year.
If CheSbro pitches an average Of two games
week he will receive 1888 per game
Allowing six balls to each batsman. includ-
ing fouls, and thirty-six men to face him
| in nine innings. he will get $50 for every
bali he pitches.
Dave Fultz, who was the Philadelphia
Athletics star outfielder last season, has
also made a good contract with the New
York Americans for this year. He will re-
ceive salary of 5000 for his work. Three
years ago it is doubtful If Fultz was max
ing one-third Of that sum. His sudden leap
into a player Of the first rank was one Of
the surprises OF last season.
Lajoie's contract with the Cleveland
American League club has still two years
to run at 5000. Wallace will get only 500
less from st. Louis.
Delahanty. who is now in the base ball
limelight by reason of his breaches of con-
tracts. will get $500 for his season with
Washington.

HERM1s MAY MEET MccHEsNEY,
Owners Bell and Smathers Anxious for
Race,

L. V. Bell. owner of Hermis, the cham
pion eastern three-year-old of last season,
is ready to match his horse against E. E.
Smathers' western champion. McChesney,
If Mr.. Smathers desires to arrange such a
race. To date Mr.. Bell has received no
word regarding a match race with Mr..
Smathers.
81 do not like to discuss this match propo-
sition," Mr.. Bell says. because 1 do not
want to be considered as marrying Mr..
Smathers. l know Mr.. Smathers very well,
and believe that 1 will see him in due time.
Eastern turf folk do not want to make
the mistake of thinking Mr. Smathers' Nc
Chesney ordinary because he has beaten
only ordinary western selling platers and
handicap horses which would not receive
serious consideration in secOnd-rate com.
pany hereabOutS.
"McChesney is a grand horse. / am not
sure that Hermis has anything on him
He Is big, muscular. clean limbed and
game You never saw a more brilliant
stretch runner. His only fault as COM
pared with Hermis is his sluggishness al
the post He is trifie slow at getting
away. but he moves into his stride quickly
and is easily placed. He seems to improve
his gait at every jump, and when he nails
an opponent at the turn into the home
stretch nine times out of ten 1t Is all over
with that horse.
1T would also be folly to assume that
McChesney cannot be got into frSt-claSs
condition this summer because he has been
racing all winter. He is not the kind Of a
horse man ought to throw out of train
ing at all. He is a husky fellow with a
voracious appetite. Let up on him over
winter and it will take months to lick him
into s ape again. My horse cannot be said
to have an advantage of McChesney be-
cause of his winters rest
81 have nice little colt, but cannot tell
whether he has been too highly appraised
or not. Sometimes I think he has been
overestimated. Sometimes I do not"
Mr.. Bell declines absolutely to say what
races he will point Hermis for. He de-
| clares that he has put the Hermence colt in
every race he was eligible for, and that the
engagements were made in good faith
When Hermis Is ready to take up his heavy
burdens and meet his rivals with fair
chance Of success he will make his debut
as a four-year-olG, and continue thereafter
to run as long as he remains in condition.

Trainers Very Busy at the
Benning Track.
STABLES ARRIVIN G
OWNERS OF HERMIS AND INCHES
NEY READY FOR MATCH RACE.
College Ball Teams Closely Matched
New Orleans Races - Gallagher
Sutton Billiard Match.

After the bright. beautiful spring weather
of Monday yesterday was quite the reverse
at Benning eand yet 1t was a very busy
day for trainers
Trainer Garth breezed Jakka Duncannon
and Trapezist six furlongs in 1.22. The next
set out was made up Of Sir F1orian, Dusky
Secret and Black Dick. They worked six
furlongs In 1.21. Sir Florian having much
the best of 1t. The jumpers 1mperialist.
Arius and the two-year-Old Golden Kisses
were galloped and breezed through the
stretch.
w. P. Burch was on the slow side. He
will have very few starters at the meeting
except in the two-year-old races.
E. H. Hanna Of the Columbia stable jog
ged and cantered Sam Craig and his two
year-olds. breezing them through the
stretch Toscan and Gloriosa worked six
furlongs in 1.2O.
The best work of the morning was that
of Meistersinger. who worked six fur
longs in LIS rather handily.
Gwynne Thompkins showed Lavator and
a hunter in the field. taking the new
jumps handily. The rest of this string had
good dong gallops.
Early Eve. Russell Garth and First Chord
worked six furlongs in LII handily. First
Chord Is one Of the most improved horses
at the track
Frayling had his large stable out to use
full slow work. Demurrer showed no i'll eff
fects of his fast trial of the day previous.
Yellow Tail was given road work. and it
is said he is being specially prepared for
the Carter handicap. He surely has moth
ing to complain of in the way of weights.
Allie Gates gave Jerry. Merryment and
Orontas slow mile. They are looking very
well.
Four stables of horses were added to the
large number already at the track yester-
day. The McCafferty, Mannix, Durfer and
Midgeley strings arrived after considerable
delay. owing to the flooded conditions
around New Orleans. 1t was expected the
big stables of Mr.. Belmont and Jimmy Nc
Laughlin would be housed before dusk, but
they failed to reach the city.
The private stable of Mr.. August Bel
mont is all in readiness for his horses,
which are due this afternoon.
Trainer Fitzsimmons had the extensive
stable of Col. Edward Morrell out to long,
hard gallops, and they will be fit when
called on.
j. w. Colt left Washington yesterday for
New York. but will return for the meeting.
Jockey Club Steward Andrew Miller is at
the Virginia Hot Springs. but will be in
Washington by the first of next week, and
i. Is expected that Mr.. Phil Dwyer and
Abe Daniels will also stop over on their
way from Hot Springs A spring meeting
without Abe Daniels would hardly seem
real to Washingtonians.
