MAJoR DRLMAR' FAILEp.

Providence. R. T., Sept 2.-Eight thousand persons attended the grand circuit meeting at Narragansett park yesterday, the big attraction being the attempt of Major Delmar to lower the worlds trotting record without a wind shield of 2:O2A. It was figured that as he went in that time at Read vile last week against a strong wind he would yesterday afternoon, with the conditions as nearly perfect as possible, win a new record. But, in- stead the son of Delmar made a com plete failure, although he was at the quarter in 30h seconds and at the half in :101. and then stepped the third quarter in 29A seconds, making hrs total there 1:3O%. In the home stretch, despite the urging of two runners, one on each side of him, his speed failed perceptibly, and for the last DO yards he dropped back to 2:30 gait, nak- ing the mile in 2:03.
 The surprise of the day came in the 2:1O trobting race. Norrfe was barely the choice of the talent over The Ro- man and Direct View, with the baly ance of the field little considered. The gray gelding, John Taylor, from 1ndi- ana, who last year won the M. and M. stake at Detroit and since has been of little account as a racehorse, was yes terday steady and racing into the lead in the initial heat at the head of the home stretch after Snyder Me Gregor had led to that point. and, winning by half-length, gained a new record of 2OSM. The second heat he won even more easily. The Roman was third in the opening heat until just beyond the seven-eighths pole. where he made a break and danced until he was shut out by the flag.

INGRAM IS TENDER-HEARTED.

Ames, the boy pitcher of the. Giants who broke his streak of hard luck in St Louis the other day by brilliant session in the box is whole-hearted admirer of J. "Muggsy'' McGraw. Tn conversation recently Ames, while ad- mitting that McGraw was not exactly amfable when trying to win a game. said:
 "McGraw's kindness, charity and sympathetic nature, on the other hand, are but little known, for Muggsy new CT parades his good points I have seen instances, however, which show that the little pepper pod is as big hearted as he is sinful when in battle.
 ''One day certain broken-down ball player--famous as mighty slugger in his time came to see McGraw. With him he brought bat-a bat famous in fandom- which had cracked out hits by the hundreds in bygone days. He told McGraw a pitiful and per fectly truthful-story of his poverty and illness, and asked McCraw to buy the bat. He asked no charity-the old-timer was still proud-but he thought McGraw might prize the his toric hickory, and would give him something for the club.
 "Did McGraw buy the bat? Yes and for $1O0. When the veteran pro- tested to such kindness Nfuggsy stuffed the money in the old mans pocket and threatened to throw him out of the clubhouse if he made any further kicks. And, Furthermore, Me- Graw, knowing how the old fellow loved the bat he had just sold, insist ed that he should act as the custodian till the stick might be called for"
