Beats Orsina in Deciding Course at
IngIcside Coursing Park.

Beats Orsina in Deciding Course at
IngIcside Coursing Park.
In a hard final at Ingleside Coursing
Park yesterday P. J. Horgans Tralee
Lass beat w. Maguire's Orsina for first
hcnors by score of 10 to I. The de-
Gliding course found the contestants at
even money, and up to the time the bell
in big punches.
The stake brought out many good
trials. with but few disappointing re-
suits to the talent.
Lily York went out in the third round
tC Sofala in a close course, beaten by
a point. Many looked upon her as a
likely candidate for final honors after
her showing of the day before, but she
succumbed to coursing luck. Sofala
made great bid for the big end of the
purse, but was finally retired by favor
of the hare.
During the noon intermission Pat
MuIlarkey questioned the decision of
Judge Thomas Tierney in close
course where one of his hounds was in
the running, and the two came to
blows. Friends interfered and sepa-
rated the men before any damage was
done.

Judge Tierney's official scores:

The Hornets were weakened by the
absence of the captain. Percy" Cham
bers, Harry Bird and Connolly. Shand
Mckenzie, Smith and Erskine did
good work in the forward line, but
the Independents back line was too
strong for the Hornets. Hunter and
Pomeroy were active on the half-back
line and Williamson defended the goal
well, listing or kicking out many dan
gerous shots.
The bau was kicked off shortly after
2:3O D. m, the Hornets defending the
south goal. After few minutes play

Hornets goal. Williamson fisted it

An excellent game of association
football was played on Saturday after
noon on the grounds near the Cotton
Mills, East Oakland, between the Pi-
rates and a team of apprentices from
the British vessels lying eff Sausalito.
The ground is quite level and is the
best used for association football in
this neighborhood. Though the sailors
lacked the services of Huxley and Al
exander, they played a good game and
It half time had scored one goal to
none on the part of their opponents
They had all the best of the play in the
first period and showed excellent COM
bination. Colchester inside left for
ward, was especially noticeable, though
it was his first appearance on a football
field for three years.
In the seco=d half the Pirates had
the best of the play but could not place
the ball between the posts, the defense
of the sailors being too strong to pierce
The Rev. j. Digby of the Seamen's In

HARVEST FOR COTTON BULLS
wild Excitement Accompanies the
GOrinE of the Bears at
New York.

NEW YORK. May 1.-THE widest ex.
citement in cotton this season occurred
today when an enormous covering move
ment was started by an unexpected ad-
vance of eleven TO fourteen points in Liver
pool attended by heavy sales of spot in
the English market. The local market
responded with an advance of fifteen to
twenty-four on the more active months
new high records in all cases being made.
The bull clique realized heavily. in order to
avert a bear panic, which at one time ap-
peared inevitable. The local advance was
accelerated by sensational reports from
New Orleans. which made an advance OF
thirty-seven on July, A reation OF ten ID
fourteen followed on continued selling by
the bulls at this point. whereupon tha
market became more pacific. The heaviest
transaction recorded this season during tho
same time was reported today.
Toward the close the market became
less active, IL having become apparent
that the bull party was not disposed to
force the situation. Public operations were
not active. owing 10 the abnormal con-
ditions now governing the fluctuations of
prices. There was. however. some selling
for short account as TO the new crop con-
ditions on the favorable showing made
by the weather in the cotton belt and the
general nattering character of the crop
advices now current.

OTTAWA. Ont. May 11.-About $50
houses destroyed, probably 1000 people rem
dered homeless and a financial loss of fully
100000 is the result of the conhagration
which yesterday devastated the area be-
tween the Ottawa & Parry Sound railroad
tracks on the east, Albert on the north and
the tracks of the Canadian Pacific Prescott
line and Third avenue on the west. The
money loss is about one-half covered by in
surance. While 1t was believed last night
that an incendiary had started the fire.
doubts were thrown on this theory today
1t was said today that THE blaze was seen
in the grass before II seized the lumber
There was from 100000 to 100000 feet
OF lumber burned. The buildings destroyed
were dwelling houses and stores. No lives
are known to have been lost. While the
buildings were all pretty well insured some
Of the tenants had nothing on their furni-
ture. A good many of these, however
succeeded in saving their effects. Through
an accident to the water pipes 1t was
nearly an hour after the fire was discovered
before water was thrown on the flames and
in that time they made great headway.
The military was called out to aid the civil
power in combating the fire.

NORTH OMAHA IMPRovERS
They Are Against Present City
Council ChanEinE the ward
boundaries.

At the meeting Of the North Omaha I'm
provement club last night A. L. Meager
resigned the ONCE Of secretary. The cleo
tion of second Vice president was post
poned for a week. as was also the election
of a secretary.
Ernest Sweet. from the committee on
ward boundaries, reported the amendment
to the city charter and asked that the
necessary pressure be brought to bear
upon the newly elected members of the
council to secure one new ward in the
northern part of town. He offered mo-
ton to the effect that the club desires no
steps taken to recognize the ward lines OF
the city until the new councilmen are in
stalled. This motion brought out consid-
erable talk, ali one sided, and the motion
prevailed unanimously.
Much complaint was heard because ma
terial cannot be secured for the compile
tion of sidewalks.
