BY WALTER E. ERLER

The matinee season over. the local
track closed last Saturday. 1t was
most successful. Nothing of the SEN
eational took place during the matt
nee events, yet, as a rule, the fields
were large and the racing frst-class.
The track throughout the season
was In a very bad condition. This in
a measure accounts for the poor show
ing some of the horses made. Early
In the year 1t was believed that the
chestnut mare Grace ID. (3), 2:10A, for
which c. J.. Farr paid $685., would
establish a new track record pacing,
yet soon after reaching this city she
was taken with q severe attack OF
"shipping'' fever. While she recov-
cred without n serious results, 1t
was believed wise not to subject her
to any strenuous efforts this year. She
Ia still young and sound and, with her
speed, she should put the record
where 1t will stay for a while next
year.
Ben Dat and Danish Belle were the
most successful of the local horses
away from home. The former raced
to q record of 2:14A, after becoming
the property of William Whatton, and
Danish Belle look a record of 2:15h in
q losing race at Mineola. where Doc
Bodenweiser parted with her at a
long price.
In the trotting division the mare
Demline raced TO a record of 2:20A
In a winning race at Hohokus, and
the gelding Doctor Bill. in the hands
of Clyde MacBride, reduced his rec
ord to 2:15A at the Mineola meeting,
although he met disaster in the same
race.
Bistan Most Successful.
One of the most successful horses
over the metropolitan tracks this
season was the brown trotter Bis
tan, by Bingara. in the stable of
Pete Goode. This fellow has been at
1t since July 4, and has won some
excellent races. In his last start at
York, Pa. he reduced his record to
2:14h.
At this time he looks like the maxi
ing of a very high-class trotter and
very nearly as good as his neal rela-
tive, Baden, did last autumn. He is,
however, not so rugged a horse as
the brown stallion, but will take a

Banty Lewis, of this city, will
box his first match abroad to-
morrow night when he will meet
George Dastillon, one of Frances
best bantamweights, in the star bout
before the big Paris Club. The Eu-
ropean has never met with a defeat.
A victory for Lewis will secure for
him a match with Charley LaDoux,
bantam champion of all Europe.
.LaDoux recently knocked out Digger
Stanley. Johnny Coulon was recent
ly offered $9,5 500 to meet him, and
the worlds title-holder turned it
down. Lewis was booked to take
his place and will do so should he
make good in tomorrow nights bout.
Battling Nelson is just crazy to
have a fight with Packey McFar-
land, the Chicago stock-yards hero.
Bat thinks he mas n more fight in
his battered system, and he wants
to turn ii loose on Packey.
"Packey runs every time he sees
me-" recently declared Nelson. II
Just want to make II more great
fight, and ] hope to make it with
Mcfarland as my opponent. / will
let Packey draw up the articles, name
the weight, the size of the forfeit and
the split of the purse. Bat Nelson is
not all in yet and Packey Mcfarland
will be soft for him"
Of course Packey will pay no at
tention to Nelson's oratory. Maybe
Bat didn't expect he would.
Billy Lewis, of this city, will meet
Young Mccartney, of Philadelphia, in
the main six-round bout before the
Nonpareil Club, Philadelphia, tonight.
Lewis has been in constant training
for the past week and is in fit con.
dition for the bout.
Booker T. Washington, great negro
educator, condemns pugilist Jack
Johnson as a member of his race who
has harmed rather than helped its
development. "It is unfortunate that
a man with money should use it in
a way to injure his own people with
those who are seeking to uplift his
race and improve it's conditions" de-
clares Washington. He harms him
self the least and he misrepresents
the colored people of the country"
A means has been found whereby
the speed of a pitcher may be ac-
curately tested. Across a disc
shaped opening are stretched a num-
Der of lightly charged electric wires

baseball. Five feet behind these
wires is a steel plate, also charged.
The ball is hurled into the opening.
The exact time from the breaking of
a wire until the background is hit is
registered. BY calculating the dis
lance of five feet with the fractional
second consumed in traversing it the
happy result is arrived at.
The first pitchers to test their speed
with this device have been Walter
Johnson, of the Washington Ameri-
cans, and Nap Rucker, the fork hand
speed boy of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Johnson established ~conclusively that
he is the speedier hurler. for the de-

125 feet per second, while the best
record Rucker could make was lis

Charles Spanier, who rolled a score
of 102, was the only bowler of the
seventy who performed last night in

director-general of the affair, but
Walter Price did able work in seeing
hat the teams got in line quickly.
For such a big turnout the manage

were many heads of departments In
the throng last night. Several teams
that wished to roll did not get a
chance on account of the lateness OF
the hour, but there is to be another
special night known as"General Elec-

given an opportunity then to distin-
guish themselves.

At the Scotland road hall Sunday afternoon a preaching service preceded the session of the Sunday school. Supt William Crawford took for the subject of the address The Life and Death of Moses. Few men ever saw so many or so great changes in life, he said From infancy in the basket among the bullrushes, through his youth in the Egyptian palace and man. hood as leader of his people Israel his greatness was daily brought out.
 Greatness in character, leadership, constancy, w-making, and as climax greatness in his fidelity to God, even though his greatest desire which he so often voiced in prayer of reaching the
 Promised Land' was never gratiied. Only a glimpse was given him of this land at the end of his life. Then he went up on a mountain, died, and was buried in a sepulchre which no one could point out So is the greatest character sending forth daily helps which bury themselves in unknown hearts. later to ripen and bear fruit.

PERO TO STAY IN JAIL

 Bonds.

William Pero of this city, who was tried at the May criminal term of the superior court in New London last week on the charge of statutory arson, must remain in the county Jail and await trial at the next criminal term. which comes in September. The jury, it will be remembered, disagreed in this case and was discharged.
 Attorney Benjamin Hewitt, who ap- peared for Pero. took considerable in terest in the young man, in whom he believes there is much good, and he tried to secure freedom for Pere pend ing the second trial. Attorney Hewitt attempted to secure release of Pero on his own recognizance, but States At torney Hadlai A. Hull would not agree to it and Judge Reed said that he did not feel like granting the request. un- less the states attorney thought it best.
 Pero is under $500 bonds, but he cannot raise that amount. He is 27 years old. He was arrested on sus- picion of setting fire to Bailey's sta oles here in Bath street.
