81. Louis.-Proclaimed as the most
remarkable balloon contest in the his
tory OF the world aeronautics, with
every racing record broken the second
international cup competition which
started from here Monday last, ended
with Germany accorded the winning
laurels.
The finish Of the race was the clos
est and most exciting the followers of
the sport have ever known, the victor
1ous German balloon, the Pommern,
which landed at Asbury Park this
MOI ning, having r. slightly more than
five miles the advantage of the French
contestant, "LIsle de France" second
in the race, which descended during
the afternoon at Herbertsville, N. j.,
a few miles FROM the Atlantic coast
and slightly northwest of Point Pleas
ant.
Another German balloon, the Dussel-
dorf, stands third in the race.
American entries are fourth and
fifth, third German team is sixth,
French team seventh, an American
eighth, and the English ninth.
The unofficial estimated air line
flight of the Pomnern is $50 miles.
and that of the LTsle de France is
875. The Dusseldorf third, which
landed near Dover, Delaware, is esti-
mated to have covered 100 miles.
The official measurements will be
computed at the geological survey of
the United States government at
Washington.
Only the proximity of the Atlantic
ocean stopped the wonderful flight of
the Pommern. The balloon could have
remained in the air many hours longer,
and undoubtedly would have added
several hundred miles to her record
but for the exparse of water ahead.

Match-LOst on a Foul.

New York, June 4-The suspicious cir
cumstanses surrounding the fight be-
tween Tommy Murphy and Harry Harris
I'm which the Harlem boy lost on a foul
before the National Sporting Club last
night were explained to-day by Johnny
Oliver, the manager OF Murphy, who
said:
Last Friday man known as McDon-
aid, a former newspaper man. came 10
me at the New Polo Athletic Club and
asked: oliver. will you take $3.O00 and
have Murphy lay down in the fight with
Harris? Just let him put bandage
around his bad leg and when the time
comes he can go down for the count
told him that we were NOT in that kind Of
business. ana that l didn't want TO talk
about such a thing al all
Mcdonald did not explain 10 me any
thing about the details Of the matter. 20
continues Oliver Il didn't ask him and
didn't want to hear anything more about
II. I don't know whom he represented
I am. Of course. satisfied that he was not
talking for his own money
Long before the bout was called there
was at the ringside a zig mob Of mer-
Cenaries from Broadway who offered 50
10 50 and even money that Harris would
stay ten rounds Those who know the
merits Of the two boxers looked on in
surprise as the money was put up all
about the ring
They couldn't understand how Harry
Harris, or any one i'm bis class. could
say even six rounds with the Harlem
cyclone But sums that were worth
considering were bet. There was an
abundance of Harris money.
Harris, a clever, elongated boxer with
little strength. jabbiug left and an al
most useless right. is a third-rate fighter
Murphy. as is known. is a strong. tricky.
aggressive. rugged fighter. and IS among
the top-n0tCheTs Of the ligbt-Welghts Of
the whole country I'm such a situation
there could be- only two kinds If bcttors
who would take the Harris end Of such
a proposiuon-sure-t men and fools
Even money that Harris would stay ten
rounds with Murphy was not an honest
and a sensible bet To could be sensible
only by being sure and 70 could be honest
only by being foolish.
And yet the Harris men cashed. Murphy
