 LaddPut Out of Game.

Norwich, Conn.,, Aug. 18.-The Po- nies dropped a game to Norwich yes terday by score of to 1. All ill all it was fast fielding game and play ed in an hour and 9 minutes. Both Bowler and Mclean pitched finely, the Norwich pitcher having shade the better of the work. Bowler was disposed to be wild and gave three passes to first besides hitting Tighe. Particularly noticeable was the fast fielding of Hannifin and the fine first base play of Tighe.
 It was the very evident intention of the home team to defeat Springfield yesterday on account of the bad blood between Crolius and members of the Norwich team. and it was Crolius' poor fielding and general play which gave the opportunity. Nor wich played Farrell instead of Hoover at second. Perkins error saved Springfield from shutout.
 Springfield made only four hits in as many innings up to the ninth, and had no opportunity to score. In this inning Perkins error of Crolius' hit put the ex-Norwich player on second, the throw by Perkins going wild to Tighe O'Connor made Springfield's fifth hit and Crolius took third. After Crook, who batted for Nagel, had struck out and Dillon was out on Hannif1ns clever stop and throw, O'Connor stole second. Bridges throw 9oing wild Crolius scored on the play. Fitzpatrick struck out and the game ended.
 Norwich obtained run in the fourth inning. Tighe went out at first, but Hannifin walked. Perkins made a hit by short. While he was playing off first OConnor attempted to catch Perkins. throwing to Crolius, who made bad miss of the throw, and Hannifin scored.
 In the sixth inning Hannifin again walked and stole second, scoring on Plunketts hit to left. In the eighth inning Tighe drove hit to the center field fence but was left on second. The score:

Fem, a lap behind, dropped out in the sixteenth mile of the race.
 At the end of each mile the riders raced like mad to win the extra prize offered by the management On tls ninth lap of the twentieth mile Law. son sprinted away from the others as if they were standing still, and was never headed winning by half q wheels length from John Bedel. The time of the race was 30 minutes II 4-5 seconds.
 Lawson and Fem. starting from scratch, got off we'll in the one mile professional handicap and before they had gone three laps had overtaken the field.

The starters were at even weights, with Cairngorm favorite in the betting at 4 to 5. Merry Lark was the first to break to a good start. As they passed the stand Glenecho was leading, with the favorite next. Won Tromp shaved the rail at the first turn, while the others turned wide. This gave him lead of two lengths.
 Cairngorm was length ahead of Glenecho between this and the next turn, where he moved up. and at that point was leading by a head. The ad- vantage was short lived. however. for at the next turn the Keene colt had pushed his nose in front. Thus they seesawed. As they entered the stretch Cairngorm was nearly q length to the good. but von Tromp managed to pass him again. It looked as though the fa- vorite would be beaten. but in the last sixteenth, in gruelNns drive. Cairn- gorm got up and stuck 1t out to the finish. getting the decision by a head from Glenecho.

ERNE BEATS DWELL.

Philadelphia, Aug. 1s-Young Erne. the rising young Quaker feather weight, added another victory to his present list by outpointing Jack O. Neill of this city in six round bout before the Broadway A. C. last night. The mill lasted the limit and was one of the best scraps held in town in many a day.
 Erne was O'Neilfs master in every round save the fourth In this round he slowed up and made an even thing of it. He was too fast for O'Neill and convinced the large crowd that he is a pugilist of the first water. Every punch that he landed was executed with good judgment. At the finish of the struggle 0Neill was badly bruised while Erne had scarcely mark with the exception of slight cut under the right eye
