Racino AT Rriphton beach.

New York, Aug. 19.-The weather
was perfect for the fourth day of the
grand circuit meeting at Brighton
Beach and a good crowd saw the
sport The card, however, was weak
with only one stake event, the $4,000
Metropolitan for 2:18 PAGERS.
For this race Morning Star was IA
vorite at $50 and $40 for the field.
He won both heats. with the Canadian
horse, Angus Pointer, second in each.
It is worthy of note that the winner
is a son and the second a grandson
of Star Pointer, 1859 1s, the first horse
to go below two minutes.
The surprise of the day was the
2:07 trot, a dash of mile. On the
strength of his victory in the same
class at the Empire City track last
week, the popular speedway favorite,
Swift, was the favorite, but Mckinley
won.

Kid Mccoy lis Astonished at
Good Work He Does.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 1S.-From
Hardin Springs came a story last night
that Tom Haggerty,a friend of Jeffries,
is willing to bet $500 at 1 to 2 that the
champion will finish Miner Munroe
within five rounds. Others at Jeff's
mountain camp will join in that end
of the wager, while a still larger num-
Der will be willing to speculate evens
on their idols chances within ten
rounds.
Singularly enough, at the very time
that these propositions were being
voiced Munroe was smuggling Kid Nc
Coy and the rest of his retinue of spar
ring partners in such a way as to make
all of those except the most Skeptical
of onlookers believe that he will not
only stay with the champion for GOOD
portion of the distance, but will be re-
turned the winner During eight hard
furious rounds the bur1y miner showed
so many flashes of speed, so much de-
termination and so considerable an i'm
pFovement in his boxing that there
should be men a-plenty willing to grab
Haggerty's bet and cover any otner
similar money.
"Munroe's Improvement since his
fight with Sharkey has been wonder
full" said aStute Kid Mccoy, as he
painted for wind in his corner after his
three rounds with the miner. 1t will be
remembered by fight followers that Nc
Coy trained Munroe for that Philadel-
phia battle with the sailor. In addition
to his intimate knowledge of his charge
he has as big a fund of fight learning
as any man in the business.
The whole day was the best that has
been spent at the Munroe camp. 1t was
most encouraging to his trainers and
hackers, too. since the miner showed
a flash of the style that may win him

NEW MANAGER FOR TOLEDO.
1t Is Said That Roger Bresnahan VIII
Boss the Mud Hens.

New York, Aug. 19-This will prob
ably be Roger Bresnahan's last year
with the New York Nationals. The
Giants crack center fielder has re-
ceived a good offer to manage the To-
ledo club. and he has practically
agreed to accept it. He has informed
MeGraw of his possible intention of
quitting the team after the present
season, and it was due to this that
McGraw secured Mike Donlin from
Cincinnati. Bresnahan is not in any
way dissatisfied with his present sur
roundings or the salary which he is
receiving, but believes he can do bet
ter by acting in a managerial capacity
in a minor organization with chances
of taking hold of a major league team
some day and attain the success which
has made McGraw famous.

THE ROADS WE'RE POOR.
Widow Sues an Atchison County
Township for Damages.

Atchison, Aug. 19.-Mrs. Nora Num-,
a widow, has brought suit in the dis
trict court here against Mount Pleas
to have been sustained July 10, 1901,
through a defective highway She all
leges that while driving along the
Mount Pleasant road she was precipi-
tated, through no negligence of her
own, into gully 20 feet deep, which
takes up half the road.
The county commissioners of Atchi-
son county recently decided not to levy
the road tax this year, but it is feared
that other cases may follow should this
one be successful. which will amount to
more than the tax. All the roads are in
poor condition, and the commissioners
thought that the tax would not be suf-
ficient to do the work as required by
law; consequently the tax was remit
ted entirely.

posed 70 the Tour.
New York, Aug. 1s.-The globe-trot-
ting trip which the New York and
Chicago Nationals intended to take at
the close of the present season has
been abandoned.
One of the Giants said today: You
can state positively that we will not
take the trip around the world. I was
the first to decline because of my fam
lily. Others refused to go for the same
reason, and then others wanted to be
given a money guarantee"
Mathewson, McGinnity. Warner.
Wiltze, Ames, MCGann, -.Dahlen, Gill
bert, fDevlin, Brownies Mertes and
Bresnahan were named as being OPP
posed to going on the trip. With all
these star players backing out there
will be little use of McGraw trying
to fill their places with players from
other clubs and billing them as the
Giants, winners of the National league
pennant.
Then, too, there appears to be dis
position on the part of a number of
Chicago players to withdraw from the
proposed trip.
