IFPECTAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. I
Cincinnati, August 4. The joy of the
cranks of Porkopolis is double distilled just
now.for not only
have the Keds'
bitterest foes de
parted leaving a
lock of Mark
Baldwin's hair
for sweet re niem
berance sake,
but an new idol
has been dis
covered. For
the first time this
XJr V- year Pittsburg
JlriA was compelled to
bow before Com
iskey's men on
Ohio soil. At
no stage of the game were these arch ene
mies of Cincinnati dangerous. The lead
that was taken at the beginning was in
creased as the innings rolled on and when
the last man was victimized the crowd of
1,109 faithful burst into a cheer ior the new
pitcher winded at the depot by Captain
Comiskey when the team was fleeing from
Boston. Mike Sullivan and Jerry Harring
ton made a battery of giants and they
worked together as nicely as if they had
been paired all their lives.
Ble Sullivan Was a 1'nzzle.
For five straight innings not a hit had
been rnaOe ofl the new man, and the only
Pittsburgers who had reached bases, two in
number, had been forced out by succeeding
batsmen. The stands had enthused over
one magnificent catch of Holliday's. Beck
ley was the sufferer, and he sent a scorcher
hustling through the air toward the bulletin
board. The "Bug" turned and ran, and as
it was passing over his head he leaped up
ward and dragged it down. He had massa
cred a sure home run.
Sullivan opened up with lots of speed,
and really good command. On no less than
lour occasions was he in the hole with three
balls and no strikes, and he kept putting
them over until he landed his men. As the
game grew older he slackened up his pace,
but of the eight hits charged against him,
two were bunts to third and two more pop
flies that dropped safe into short lelt field.
Baldwin Started in Wild Fashion.
Baldwin hit McPhee as a starter and
"Welch never budged when an inshoot struck
him. Latham bunted safely. Beckley
killed a hit for O'-Neil but McPhee scored,
and alter "Welch had been caught at home
on Holliday's infield tap Latham tallied on
Miller's bad throw to spoil Holliday's steal.
Sullivan's grounder got away lrotn Bier
bauer in the fourth and Le" scored with
"Welch on the latter's great push over
Smith's head. Genins hit was duplicated
by Harrington in the sixth, and Jerry tried
to reach second but was caught. Shugart
spared McPhee and Genins scored. Welch
drove McPhee in by the triple, scoring on a
parsed balL
Kelly's single, Donovan's force of Bald
win, who had been sent down on balls, and
Smith's double yielded Pittsburg's first
run. There was a batting symposium in
the eighth. Sullivan's single, McPhee's
home run. "Welch's burning with another
inshoot, Latham's single and doubles by
O'Keil and Holliday gave the Keds five.
Miller and Donovan hit safe and Smith
got a base on balls. Sullivan fired in a wild
pitch, missing Harrington's return and two
runs scored. Beckley sent Smith home bv
a triple into OVNeil's territory after Tip
niaue a great catch of Shugart's line fly.
The score:

The Dispatch Nine Won.
The Dispatch nine took a game from the
Press nine yesterday at Wilkinsburg, the
first they have wonslncetliey received their
uniforms. Both sides put up a fair game,
though the fielding was rather jazged at
times. There were several fine hits made,
among them J. Jessop's drive over the right
field fence, which unkind fate only made a
two-bauger; Enscoo's three-base hit to the
left field fence; WilliamV two-bagger, and
Lennox, who got two fine doubles, alone
scoring four of the. runs made. The
good grounds enabled the fielders to cnt off
several promising drives. Score:

What docs Burns want with another suit? Why.
down East he changed clothes three times a day

Hats off to President Temple, of the Pittsbnrg

O. P. CATLOB speaks of the Brooklyn ln Toes-
day's game thnsly: "These Important members of
the nine were absent: 'Darby' O'Brien was away
on a sad mission. 'Big Dan' was lost, strayed or
stolen, and 'Willie' Joyce had his game leg ln the
shop. In this emergency Captain John made a hat
pool of the names of the men at his service and
Haddock came out for left field, Tom' Daly for
third base and 'Dare' Foutz for first base. 'Tom
my' Burns was able to be out by the aid of a re
frigerator car on his head and a not water bag on
each foot."
TRACK RECORDS AND TALK.
Klrsch Makes a Now Mile Record at Mon
mouth Parte Track.
Monmouth Pars: Race Trace, Aug. 4.
There was a comparatively small orowd
here this afternoon, considerable less than
3,000 people being present when Banquet, at
eveus, won the opening race ln easy fashion
in 1:58. Despite St Michael's good race with
Uncle Jess and Spartan last Tuesday.he was
sent to the post for the Camden stakes, a 9
to 5 chance. He won cleverly from the 13 to
1 shot Chicago, ln the Trenton stakes
Hapenny and Air Shaft fouled each other
all through the last quarter, letting Klrsch
6 to 1, win the stako in a drive. The time,
1:33, makes a new record for a mile over a
straight course.
Salvator made it in 1:S5 in his celebrated
race against time, but Klrsoh's race of this
afternoon may be cnronlcled as the existing
mile record. Many of the spectators left
the track very much in donbt as to the cor
rectness of the time, but a strong wind was
blowinc down the track, and it greatly as
sisted the rauers in the flight of speed.
Wnen Kingston was added to the list of
starters for the Eatontown stakes, Demnth
and Tournament were withdrawn ln Kings
ton's favor. With 1 to 6 against him, the
brown whiilwind won the stakes in a gal
lop, Tenny, after a hard fight, taking second
money trom Sir Matthew by a head. Jockey
J. J. McCafferty and the Western contingent
plunged on Estelle to win the filth event.
She did so in a gallop, covering the seven
furlongs in 1345. Entre, the even money
choice of the talent, took the closing six
furlong dash by a length from Julien and
Boiler. Five of the six laces were won by
favorites or well backed second choices,
Klrsch being the 6 to 1 outsider. Summaries:
First race, one and one-sixteenth miles Ban
quet, even, won easily by a length and a half;
Klldeer, 5 to 2. second by eight lengths, whipping;
Gloaming. 13 to 5, third. Time. 1:48.
Second race, the Camden stakes, six furlongs
St. Michael. 9 to 5, won, driving by half a length;
Chicago, 12 to 1, second by three lengths; Doctor,
5 to 1, third by a neck, whipping. Time. 1:13.
Third race, the Trenton stakes, one mile Klrsch,
6 to l.won by two lengths, driving; Air Shaft,? tol,

BATH SI0FFED THEM AGAIN.
Wet Weather Deals Badly With the Buffalo
Grand Circuit itaces.
Bufpalo, Aug. 4. Special The Grand
Circuit races for to-day have been postponed
until to-morrow on account of the bad con
dition of the tiack caused by a heavy rain
early this morning. Eleven events are still
unfinished, including three stakes, and these
are to come first, as they must be competed
for after the 221 trot, four heats of which
were decided yesterday. The $5,000 stake for
227 trotters is on, and then comos that for
2:23 trotters, with the 2:23 pacing stake
after. The delay will be a serious loss all
around, as many of the horses here will not
have a chance to fill their engagements.
After Nellie K trotted the second heat of
the 2:19 class in 2:21 yesterday, John .
Madden bought her lor a reported price of
$2,500. She is to go ln at Rochester and
Springfield ln her class.
A it, Moore, of Philadelphia, has secured
the services of George W. Saunders as
trainer. Saunders drove the demon, Cling
stone, in his races against Edwin Tborne.
He was afterwaid in charge of William
Rockateller's stable, but went back to the
turf last year. Ho will have all of Mr.
Moore's flyers bnt Mambrino Maid, and she
has gone to John Goldsmith, who took her
West from Cleveland. Position, Evangeline
and the rest leave Splan's stable this week,
and are entered at Springfield, Mass., for the
Grand Circuit week at Hampden Park.

To Test the Wheels.
St. Louis, Aug. 4. Colonel Young, in
charge of Jefferson Barracks here, in con
Junction with local 'cyclists, ,1s arranging
for several new tests of the ability of 'cycles
ln military maneuvers. As a thorough test
of the -wheel in courier experiments, for in
stance, it is ip tended to have hones cover

in time, etc., between the two. It is also
more than likely that n big relay race will
be arranged between St. Louis aud Chicago.

The Keystone Road Rice.
To-morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock thesis-
mile road race of the Keystone Bicycle Club
will take place, providing the weather is at
all favorable. Some of those whoaro entered
have been training actively lately, and the
result will likely be astonishing to those
who have favorites pioked out for winners.
Some of them have taken occasion to go
over the course and have become familiar
with the road over which the race is to be
run, and it would not be surprising if the
riders would finish ln a bunch or any rate
very close together. There will be 14 riders,
whose names were published in The Dis
tatoh last week, and a open invitations
have been extended to all wheelmen to wit
ness the finish and start at Havesville, the
2:15 train will probably be crowded. It will
be a great race.

three minutes, though It Is not likely that he can.
Emil Koos. of OH City, wires the papers sav
ing that he is in no way whatever connected with
foot racing as the "loafers Identified with it." He
has nothing to do with challenges ln which his
name figures.
The committee on prizes for a recent bicycle
meet received as a contribution from the village
sexton an indorsed order. "Good for one grave

declined the gift.
The directors of the aquatic department of the
Manhattan Athletic Club are not discouraged by
the defeat of their pets by the New York A. C.
senior eight at Saratoga, hut will enter them in the
Middle States regatta, August 13.
Some good Judges think that Harding, of the
Manhattan A. C, Is the coming man at the 120
vard high hurdles. They exnress the belief that he
Is apt to show the way to either his clubmate. Cope
land, or to Lewis, the A. C. S. N. man, at the fall

Steve Coombs, of the Boston Athletic Associa

sports for the past three years and during that
period has won 45 prizes at sprinting and other
events out of 64 times competing. Of the 45 prizes
won. 28 arc firsts. 12 are seconds and seven are
thirds. Thirty-three hare been won from scratch
and the remaining 13 by the aid of handicaps.
There Is talk of giving John L. Snlllvan a bene
fit at Clermont Avenue Kink, Brooklyn, August 2).
Some first-class men mar be selected to spar with
the big fellow-perhaps Peter Maher or Choylnskl,
at least that's the way the story goes. To a good
many people It will seem extremely Imprudent for
Sullivan to take any chances of Injuring his hands,
especially when there is 345,000 at stake. So the
Maher or Choylnskl part of the story Is a bit
doubtful.
A DISPATCH from London to the Police Gazette
yesterday says that a strong attempt was made to
get Jem Smith to fight Joe Choynskl for 200 a side
at,the Coney Island Athletic Club. Smith was told
that he would receive fair play ln America, and
Rlchanl K. Fox guaranteed him 11,000 If he was not
treated right at either the Coner Island or Olrmplc
Club. Nothing, however, would tempt Smith to
fight ln this country. He said he would fight ln
England or nowhere.
It Is probable that the bicycle will figure strongly
ln the Presldental campaign. Clubs are already
being organized ln rarlous cities to take part ln
the parades, representing both parties, and ln
cities that are blessed with well paved streets there
Is no question that the wheeling division of a
torchlight procession will prore a raluable as well
as novel feature. The wheels will be bedecked
with streamers bearing the likeness of whlcherer
party's candidate the club favors, and will also
carry Chinese lanterns and other decorations.
Jack McAuliffe has written Bob Farrell to
this effect! "I don't know of a betterman than
you to be in mv corner. Bob. and if my hackers
agree to it I will have you there. Of course I will
par 7 ou well for your services, as good seconds are
mighty scarce. There is, as 3011 know, much
bother and disadvantage In having a man in your
corner who doesn't know how to handle tou.
When I fought Meyers at Nprth Jndson I had Dick
Roche, my backer, in mr corner, and though he is
one of the best friends I have got, he doesn't know

year they have succeeded in having more obnox

fore he could hol.la captain's commission.
This was necessary no matter how the coinietent
a man might be. but through efforts of this board
this law was repealed, and now a man can become
a captain as soon as he wishes. Another thing
that has been done away with was the. hospital
fee that everyone on a boat was formerly re
quired to pay. This fee was 40 cents a month, and
the money collected each year was considerable.
Through the same means the Inspection fees have
been done away with, and now a boat Is inspected

rSFECIAL TELEGRAM to THE DISPATCH.1
Harrisburg, Aug. 4. The excellent
condition of the State Treasury'not only
justifies the payment this year of the appro
priation of 5,000,000 to the school districts
of Pennsylvania, but after this great obliga
tion shall have been met the. public ex
chequer will have at least 55,000,000 to its
credit
Of the amount appropriated to the com
mon school system,' $3,835,331 10 have been
forwarded to 1.780 of the 2,338 districts in
the State and the remainder will get their
pro rata share as soon after the receipt of
the necessary reports at the Department of
Public Instruction as the proper warrants
can be prepared.
For the year ended the first Monday in
June, Philadelphia has received her full
allotment, amounting to 81,071,790 70, ex
clusive of ?3,000 to which the Franklin In
stitute is entitled, and ?3,006 allowed for
the expenses of teachers' institutes.
The appropriation to each school district
is based on the number ot taxables iu it.
For each taxable ?3 45J are distributed.
For the years ended on the first Monday in
June, 1890 and 1891, 52,000 annually were
appropriated, and each taxable represented
51 33 3-10. The two preceding years the
school appropriation was $L500,COO each, and
from 1S7J to 137, $17,000,000 annually.
The Department of Public Instruction to
day forwarded to Philadelphia $571,790 70,
the balance due that city for the year ended
in June. Next to Philadelphia, Allegheny
county is entitled to the largest sharo of the
appropriation made by the State. Pitts
burg's, allotment is $192.938 63, and Alle
gheny's $85,259 04; but neither of these cities
has received its money because of tardiness
in presenting the necessary papers at the
department. For the same reason, Brad
dock, Sushore, Chartiers boroush and town
ship, Edgewood, Harrison, Leet and Os
borne districts have not been paid. All the
rest of the 86 districts in the county, which
are entitled to $441,345 15, have received their
amounts. For Allegheny City the proper
certificate has been filed with the school de
partment, and it will get its school money
as early as possible, probably next week.
1 he increased appropriation to the schools
from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 is not likely to re
sult in diminishing tuxes in the places to
which the monoy has gone and is going, as
had been predicted when a larger amount
was voted; bnt it will lead to the extension
of school terms, the increase of the salaries
of teachers, the erection or more school
houses and the better maintenance of these
institutions, whether old or now. There is
great necessity for lengthening the school
term in many of the school districts of the
State. In 1,200 of these bnt six months are
taught annually, and as a result or the in
creased appropriation many or the school
distiicts will extend the term to seven, eight
and nino months.
MI50E M'KEESPOBT MATTEES,
A Telegraph Pole War Street Car Repair
Shops Horse Thieves.
McKxesport, Aug. 4. Special. War is
being waged by the city against the Western
Union Telesraph Company, which is likely
to be settled ln court. Some time ago the
Councils passed an ordlnanco which pro
vided that only octagonal poles be erected
within the city limits. This was passed
when the street car company asked permis
sion to put up poles. The ordinance referred
to the car company and no other particular
company. To-day the telegraph company
attempted to replace the old poles with new
ones. The workmen attempted to cut the
old ones off and dig new holes, but the
property owners rebelled ln amanner which
almost culminated ln a fistio enconnter.
The Mayor being absent, the Chairman of
Council was appealed to, and work was
stopped.
The McKeesport and Beynoldton Pas
senger Railroad will have shops of its own
in this city, having put chased entire new
machinery in Pittsburg. The building will
be erected once.
A gang of horse thieves have Been oper
ating ln this city for some time, and, it
seems, cannot be apprehended. Last even

stolen.

never filed the bond; his company could not
be found, and the business men. becoming
nusDlcious, bad Him arrested. There were
six suits asaiust him, all of which were set

at the present rate 'or 100 years, one-halt of
the marriages will be dissolved by divorce.
The cause of this increase, he says, is the
growth of individuality and the lack of
thought and care for others. Mrs. Alden

DOCKSTADEB'S DEBUT.
The BIJou Theater, Handsomer Than Ever,
Opens for the Season.
The BIJou Theater, brighter and more com
fortable than ever, was opened for the sea
son last night, and an immense audience
filled every seat and most of the standing
room. Lew Dockstader's minstrels were in
possession of the stage, and they could
hardly have asked lor a nicer match than
the weather and the greeting both were
warm. If numbers and enthusiasm go for
anything, Pittsburg showed last night that
she wants summer theatricals. The Dock
stader programme is new and entertaining
enongh ln the main. Lew Dockstader, as
usual, is the keystone ln the arch, and
his humor is Just as dry and as infectious as
ever. His songs do not include anything
very startling in the way of wit, or catchi
ness, but a good deal ot fun of one sort or
another. His broad caricature ot the Presi
dent and Mr. Cleveland is very lanzhable
of conrse, although the question of whether
such things are in good taste or even
decency mislit be asked. In any other
country but this Mr. Dockstador would only
burlesque the ruler of the land once Just
think of snch a performance in Germany
whew! But it must not be understood for a
moment that Mr. Dockstader is not funny
in overy thing he does. He is beyond all
question one of the brightest comedians
extant.
The songs of J. C. Harrington, the old
Irishman's ballad German yodel song and
plantation darky ditty, were excellent; the
versatility of this actor is quite remarkable.
He is a graceful dancer also. William
Rowe's pedestal clog dance is a wonderful
performance in its way an awfully warm
way last night one would think. There is a
weakness iu the sentimental end or the pro
gramme. Nothing so effective as last sea
son's "Picture Turned to the Wall," was
trotted out, and while Harry Leighton sang
"My Mother's Goodnight Kiss" prettily
enough, aud J. M. Woods rendered "Bring
Back the Old Smile" with delicate expres
sion and much sweetness, it cannot be said
that either song appeals to the heart, as
some minstrel songs have done. It is curi
ous, indeed, how narrow is the channel of
melody and matter with popular song
writers nowadays. For topical songs old
airs are still preierred.
In the second part the musical fooling of
Faike and Lemons was good, and Blocksom
and Burns' mock gymnastic feats were sim
ply side splitting. Indeed, the audience
was in roars all evenins", and the indorse
ment of Dockstader' efforts could haidly
have been heartier. If any objeotionis seri
ously to be made to details, the introduc
tion of an objectionable verse Into one of
Mr. Dockstader's songs merits it. Surely It
doesn't pay to offend against propriety even
in tun. The new drop curtain and decorations
of the BIJou Theater, which have already
been described here, including the new pro
gramme, which is neat ana tasteful, were
greatly admired.
