CUP YACHTS IN A BRUSH.
Reliance Outsails Constitution in
 Light Breeze.

Newport, R. l., Aug 7.--The two ninety-foot sloops Reliance and Consti- tuition had brush in the waters of Narragansett bay yesterday afternoon. the boat selected to defend the Ameri- ca's cup having the better of it.
 It was about 8 o'clock when the boats cast off from their moorings, the Constitution being the first to get under way. They stood across the bay to the westward of Gould Island, when they squared away and headed up the bay. The Constitution had quite little lead on the new boat, but the latter was the first to get her spinnaker on, followed some minutes later by the Constitution.
 For some time the two boats ran along, side by side, then it could be seen that the Reliance was making more speed and by the time the south end of Gould Island was reached she had drawn away from the Constitution and taken in her spinnaker. gybed over her nainsail and crossed the Constltu- tion's bow. The latter boat soon took in her spinnaker and soon both hauled on the wind and started back down the bay. when the Reliance also showed her superiority in light airs, and easily drew away from the Constitution.
 The spin was for the purpose of try ing the new boat in light airs, and it was demonstrated that she was much faster than the Constitution Those who have been watching the Reliance are of the opinion that something has been done to the boat in the way of al- tering her rig, or in the matter of bal last. Since her return from Bristol she has appeared much more stiff than be- fore she went there, which leads to the impression that experiments are being made with her. Whatever has been done does not seem to have any detri- mental effect on her going qualities, judging from her behavior yesterday in the light airs.

hard that play was out Of the ques- tion.
 Jimmy Canavan is continually try ing to strengthen the New Haven team. Wednesday he signed J. F. Kane, the Amherst southpaw twirler. Springfield made Kane an offer, not very munifi- cent amount, as usual. and he is said to have declined with thanks. The Springfield team is probably worse off for good players than any team in the league. The reason assigned is Roger Connor's well known aversion to un- loose the purse strings. Kane was de- clared professional by Williams and Wesleyan about two years ago. New Haven now has two college men play ing on the team. The other is pr Mur- phy, the Yale coach, who plays short and captains the bunch.
 Manager Reilly has a new shortstop from Jersey City, and Marty Donovan, the pitcher, will probably take the place of Hank Simon, who was given his unconditional release. The eripples of the team have recovered and Man ager Reilly thinks that the outlook is bright for long series of wins. It leaked out yesterday how the batting order was arranged last week. None of the young men had been doing any slugging and there was but little choice between the batsmen. The names of the players were written on slips, which were placed in hat. Then boy was blindfolded and as he drew out the names the men knew in which order they would step up to the plate. That was how Luby came to head the batting list and how the two Thomases came to be punched.
 At run together of the directors. of the Holyoke base ball association yes terday morning it was decided to take up the def thrown down by Manager Humphrey of New London providing the challenge was found to be bona fde and that Mir Humphrey means busi- ness. The New London manager was in Holyoke yesterday afternoon and was asked by the Holyoke directors about his offer to back his team for S1,- GOO against any in the Connecticut league in series of games at the close Of the season. He said Norwich is the team he wants to pit his men against and that he is ready to back them for $1 GOO against Manager Morrissey's ag- gregation. The Holyoke directors de- cided they do not want to interfere with MT Humphreys plans, but author iZed the statement that they will stand ready to cover any amount from S1000 up that Manager Morrissey will post with any of the Springfield papers if he cares to get 8 match on with Hol- yoke.

American Cyclist Will Meet World
 Wide Champions in Paris.
 Frank Kramer, the Jersey cyclist, who has won the American sprinting championship the past two seasons has received a liberal offer to ride a series of match races in Europe this fall against Momo, Meyers, Rutt, Arend and Ellegarde, the European stars, and Owen Kimble and Major Taylor, the two Americans now abroad, who have made such an enviable record in Et1- rope this summer. While Kramer has not formally accepted the offer, it is likely he will do so, as the inducements are enticing.
 It is proposed to run a series of races between these eight representa- tive riders in Berlin, Brussels and Ant werp, and have the deciding races take place at the Park de Prince and Buffalo Veledrome courses in Paris. As Lawson and Kramer will return to America from Australia via Paris and bring Don Walker, the speediest rider in the Antipodes along with them, the eleven fastest riders in the world will be in the French capitol at the same time next spring. A grand cycling carnival could then be arranged among the different champions of America, Europe and Australia for the worlds title

THE PUGIL.ISTS.
Good Reports From Camp of
 Corbett and Jeffries.

San Francisco, Aug 7.--Corbett and Jeffries are now virtually fit to enter the ring. There is a week remaining for the fighters to get themselves in condition. Between this date and the time they will enter the ring they will put on the finishing touches.
 Both fighters have their long list of followers who can see only their fa- vorite as the victor. At Corbett's camp one can hear nothing but how Jim going to regain the championship he lost to Fitzsimmons at Carson.
 "A A match well made is half won'' is an axiom which may be we'll applied to the coming fight. Corbett not only sought the match, but practically dic- tate the condit3@ns. When articles of agreement were drawn up Corbett had specific clauses inserted which are cer- tainly to his advantage.
 The ring is to be the extreme limit, twenty four feet, and the contestants will be permitted to wear soft band ages. There is to be no hitting in the clinches, and a decision is to be given by Graney, the referee, to the man having the better of the contest, should the bout go the limit of twenty rounds.
 At Harbin Springs. Jeffriess training quarters, the champion is having con siderable difficulty in ridding himself of superfuous flesh. Jeffries has al ways been slightly over weight up to a few days before entering the ring for his fights. His admirers here are not worrying over his condition.

DAN PATCH AGAIN
Great Pacing Son of Joe Patchen Goes
 Against Time at Empire Track.

[ NO~S
 Against Time at Empire Track.
 Under conditions never before made by the owner of championship horse, Dan Patch, the fastest pacer in the world. will make an attempt at the Empire City track next Wednesday during the grand circuit meeting to lower the existing record of 1:59A. held jointly by himself and his sire, Joe Patchen.
 Exhibitions against time, when the star is accompanied by a runner, are exciting to an ordinary degree, and the event next Wednesday will be made even more interesting. owing to the fact that unless Dan Patch gets the re- cord, his owners will not receive sin gle dollar for the exhibition. T
 Tn arranging the trial against the mile record the Empire City Trotting club felt that there should be every thing for horse that could lower the record over the fast course at Yonkers, but that nothing should be given where the record was not broken. An excel lent card of racing had been arranged for Wednesday, but McHenry the driv- CT of Dan Patch, was so anxious to have the black horse make his initial attack against Old Father Time over he Empire course. that he consented to an arrangement which makes it neces- sary that he get the record in order to receive the sum stipulated in the con- tract.

TENNIS AGAIN POSTPONED.
Delay Favors British Players in Inter-
 national Contest.

national Contest
 Boston, Aug 7.-Rain yesterday caus- ed another postponement of the inter- national lawn tennis competition at Longwood.
 The courts were so thoroughly soak ed by the heavy downpour that the committee came to the conclusion that it would be inadvisable to have the doubles match played yesterday after noon. The match was therefore put over until this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The picking of the English team, which was to have been announced yesterday morning, was also postponed by ar- engagement. The delay in the playing of this match is greatly to the advant- age of the British team. Two post ponements have given R. F. Doherty' S strained shoulder good rest and the liza ments that were out of gear are now in such good shape that there seems to be no doubt about his being H. l.. Doherty's partner in the match against the Wrenn brothers when it is played.

Freddie Gebhard Has a Run of Luck
 That Astonishes Him.

mat ASIOQlSleS dlm.
 Saratoga, Aug 7.-Fred Gebhard's luck has turned with vengeance. Be sides winning the Spinaway stakes of $14,OOO with the Ally Raglan, which he purchased yesterday from John E. Madden for $S,O0O. the old-time turf man won the high weight handicap with Gay Boy and the maiden race with Cottage Maid. Besides the purses Mir Gebhard won close to $3O,OOO in bets. The result of his recent ventures, it is said, will result in MT Gebhard' S going into the racing game both here and in England on a more extensive scale than he ever did before.
 MT Gebhard started his days betting by placing $2,00O on Gay Boy at odds of to 2. He was lucky to win this bet, as Hoar on Cobourg seemed to be guilty of gross carelessness in the run through the stretch when he permitted Fuller to steal up next the rail with Gay Boy. However, the race went, and next Mir Gebhard sent $5,000 into the ring on Raglan in the Spinaway stakes at average odds of to l. Satis- fed with his days winnings, MT Geb- hard contented himself in the last race with placing $500 on Cottage Maid ito show" at odds of to 1.
 MT Gebhard's betting, by the way, was done by. Jimmy Ray. who is cred ited with being the wealthiest of the clubhouse commissioners. Ray is the only one of his ilk to employ staff of his own. He has three runners to do his bidding. He is called the shrewdest judge of horses among the commissioners. Three years ago Ray was at New Orleans in the employ of Father Bill'' Daly at reported sti- pend of $50 week. He was next seen at Bennings as a club house conmis- sioner. Since then he has prospered exceedingly and is now the owner of a fine home in Newark, N. J., and re- puted to be worth several hundred thousand dollars.
 A story was told at the United States hotel last evening, for which no verification could be obtained. that Mir Gebhard intends to pick up about a dozen top-notch young thoroughbreds Reginald Claypole Vanderbilt into part nership. Young Vanderbilt married Miss Cathleen Nelson, who is a niece of Mir Gebhards. It would not be so strange if such partnership were

 Buffalo, Aug 1.-Two stakes were on the card for the grand circuit here yes- terday The electric city stake of $5,- GOO for the 2:25 class, trotters, was taken in straight heats by Jay Me- Gregor. Budd Doble got second money with his brown stallion Kinney Lou. Star Hal too the Empire state stake of $2,oOO in the 2:14 pace, in straight heats.
 The driving of Geers in the 2:04 class pace was the, feature of the day. In the second and third heats he made up much ground and won going away with Harold H. While the horses were on the back stretch in the third heat of this race, the last of the day, rain fell heavily.

Strange But True

The Sacramento Bee talks thus
plainly in its editorial columns: GAS
for married women who can bear
children and will not, but who pre-
fer to dedicate their hours and houses
to the nursing of lap dogs and other
ours of various degrees-well The
Bee being family journal, cannot
put its honest opinion of them on
paper.
Upon which the Alameda Encinat
thus comments: Fright you arel
We have no patience with female
human who coddles and pets and
nuzzles nasty little pug or other
pup when she ought to be nurs
ing dead little baby"
1t is strange but true that some
women who are devoted to dogs and
cats, and monkeys, Of times spend
ing large sums of money for their
care, have an antipathy for children.
These women, generally, are church
members, and move in the chest
society,"" but they forget that Christ
said, "Suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for
such is the Kingdom of Heaven"

A lot of San Jose people have or
ganized "Don't Knock" club.
"Boost not knock, is its motto, aud
members are under obligations not
to talk i'll of their neighbors Its
purpose is summed up in the state
ment, "To overcome in it's members
the deplorable habit of speaking i'll
of our fellows, and by precept and
example trying to introduce Others
to do likewise" A twenty-five cent
fine is the penalty for violation of
rules. Whether in society having
the announced purpose of that at
San Jose, or not, it might be good
idea for people along the line to see
just how long they could get along
and live comfortably while trying to
conform to the simple requirement.
