ROBERT J, AOAN AND STAR POINTER IN LIST OF "ALSO RANS." KECK AND NECK CLEAR TO WIRE. Final Heat Fought Out on Even Terms at a Pace That Was Terrific. NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—ln the pres ence of 5,000 spectators, Fleetwood park today, John R. Gentry defeated Robert J., Frank Agan and Star Pointer, in the fastest harness race on record. All of the finishes were very close and ex citing. A stiff wind retarded the horses in the home stretch. Fleetwood, never a fast track, was in good con dition, although not quite at its best. *Gentry got two lengths the worse of the send off, in the first heat, and he trailed the leaders, while Robert J and Frank Agan went off in the lead, at the three-quarter pole. Robert J. made a break near the point of rocks in the third quarter, leaving Agan in the lead, but John R. Gentry came on with a terrific burst of speed and beat him in a neck and neck drive to the wire. The second heat was a repeti tion of the first, except that Robert J. broke before reaching the first turn, and Agan was three lengths in the lead at the home stretch, when Andrews made his drive with Gentry. Like an arrow the little stallion came on and cut down the gelding's lead winning In the last strides by a short neck in 2:03i4. In the last heat Gentry got away on even terms with the others 1 and he was never headed. The pace was terrific all the way this time, Agan's head being on Gentry's shoulder from start to finish, while Robert J. j was an open length behind to the head ! of the stretch, where Gere made his drive for the heat. It was a rousing, | grand struggle to the wire and the ! three great pacers were only necks j apart at the finish, but Gentry's nose ! was there first in 2:03%, and the great est harness race on record was his. i Tomorrow the big free for all race will ! take place.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—James J. Cor bctt met Sharkey's manager, W. J. Lynch, this afternoon. Sharkey and Fitzsimmons, whom he expected to meet, were not present. Sharkey was in Chicago and no one seemed to know where Fitzsimmons was. The meeting i was without result. W. K. Wheelock, representing Dan A. Stuart, of Texas, states that he is in no way connected with the offer made L .by New York parties for the Corbett- Sharkey fight in the vicinity of fhis city.

CAMPAIGN IK KENTUCKY. Some Interesting; Reminiscences by Gen. Johnson. The following reminiscences were written by Maj. Gen. R. W. Johnson for the Louisville Courier Journal: For the first few months of the war I served as captain of cavalry in the Shenandoah valley, but in September obtained a leave of absence to enable me to come to Kentucky to accept the position of lieutenant colonel in James S. Jackson's regiment of cavalry. I left the army of the East to join Jackson, who was recruiting his regiment at Owensdoro, and reached Louisville on the 17th day of September, 1861. Here I found the wildest excitement prevail ing, occasioned by the seizure of the up-bound train from Nashville by Gen. S. B. Buckner, who had embarked his troops thereon and was at that time en route to Louisville; in fact, he and his army were expected to arrive that evening. After taking tea at the Gait House I walked out on Main street, where it seemed the entire population had assembled in groups to discuss the situation. I was soon convinced that a large majority of them sympa thized with the South, and hoped to fall into Buckner's hands within a few hours. By a fortunate circum. stance the train was derailed at Eliza bethtown. and by the time it was again on the track Buckner concluded to cease his forward movement and go into camp in and near that town. Dur ing the night of the 17th Gen. Rous seau was ordered to move his regiment across the river from Camp Joe Holt. With the measured tread of well-disci plined soldiers, they passed through the streets to the Nashville depot, where transportation was in readiness to take the command to the Rolling Fork of Salt river. On the following day the Home Guards, composed of a number of independent companies of Louisville, were called out and placed under my command. In compliance with instructions, I moved to Lebanon Junction and established a camp. In a few days troops . came pouring into Kentucky from Ohio, In diana and Illinois, and the Home Guards being no longer required, were disbanded, and I was ordered to pro ceed to Owensboro. I had hardly en tered upon duty at that point before I was appointed a brigadier general, and ordered to report to Gen. McCook, then in command of Camp Nevin. Many of the veterans now in Louisville have cause to remember this camp, as here they received their first instruction in the art of war, and learned something of the hardships incident to a soldier's j life. The brigade was composed of the Fifteenth and Forty-ninth Ohio, ; Thirty-second and Thirty-ninth Indi ana. Daily drills by company, regi j ment and brigade began at once. To : tell all that this gallant brigade did during the war would require much ! more space than can be allotted to me, ■ and so it will be necessary to omit ! much that I would like to say. After i much delay we finally reached Nash i ville, and there my command was re inforced by two other brigades and formed one of the divisions of the I right wing of the Fourteenth corps. | Then came the battle of Stone River, i ; where the troops under my command i displayed great courage and galantry. ! The march southward was soon re ; sumed, the Confederates falling back i to Chattanooga, which was evacuated •by Gen. Bragg. During the spring and : summer our advance kept pace with ; the feathery fringe of the skirmish j smoke, and the thunder of our guns relied southward continuously and at last came to the death grapple at Chickamauga. Then through the dark night we filed and pitched our tents in Chattanooga, and here for long woeful weeks we held our position in the face of the beleaguering enemy and griping famine and mortal disease. Then came Mission Ridge and after a breathing spell we pushed down into the very vitals of Confederacy. It seemed during all those months of combat that, like the Israelites of old, i we followed a cloud by day and a pil low of flame by night, for in that time Dalton, Resaca, Kennesaw, Peach Tree Creek. Altoona. Jonesboro and all those other crimson names of battle had been bloodily written in our his tory. At last the old flag floated over j the great Gate City of the South. Here i our legions separated. A portion un | der Sherman made that eagle swoop through Georgia and the Carolinas, par | ticipating in that storied march by the sea. It also joined in that gala day when 200,000 men marched up the prin cipal avenue of our country's capital The other portion, under Thomas, de feated the enemy at Nashville. Theatrical Aside.

Indianapolis at Minneapolis. I Grand Rapids at Milwaukee. [". Grand Rapids gave the Apostles a , bad scare yesterday afternoon; The ; locals, with Denzer in the box, had ] shut the visitors out for four innings ! and piled up ten themselves. With this lead, Manager Comiskey adjudged it safe to give a trial to his new twirler, Isabell, who comes from Du luth. Isabell had immense speed and wonderful curves, but owing to the fact that the ball frequently struck the ground before reaching the home plate, once going so far as to strike the rubber and bound into the netting around the press box, his wildness ! gave the visitors three runs, and they ' made another in the seventh. Twitchell I gave the locals a run in the eighth to | which they were not entitled, the only run they got after Luther was sub j stituted for Slagle, when Comiskey j started his youngster. Carney waited and got his base on [ bad ones. Hassamaer and Donovan both hit the ball hard, and then Mc- Farland, who is not ordinarily much of a batter, drove a high one toward right field, where Scott Stratton had been superseded by a man named Warner, catcher of the famous Morris team which defeated Wilmot and Goodnow's flour packers 6 to 4. War ner did not get the ball in the air and when he picked it up he threw it clear across to the other fence. Luther got his base on balls, Lowney wanted to hit it hard but he struck out. Gilks hit a long one to center and McFar land came home, making the fourth run of the inning. The visitors were only three runs behind. Mcßride hit a hard one down the field, and Luther scored, bringing It still closer. Mc- Bride went to second on the play, and Lew Camp had three balls pitched to him, all wild. Manager Comiskey called Phyle in to pitch and the next ball gave Camp his base. Carney had a chance to tie with a long hit, or win the game, if he could make a homer, and he did hit the bail a terrific drive. The crowd held its breath as it sailed through the air until George, by a beautiful catch, pulled it down. It saved the game. O'Rourke got first on balls as the game opened and went to third on Stratton's hit, scoring when Stratton started to steal second. That was the only run in the game until the fourth, although Grand Rapids had a close call in the third. Two bases on balls and a single filled the bases with only one out, but Mc- Bride and Camp in turn fanned the air. They had no luck at all. Glasscock opened the fourth with a safe hit and the next three followed suit. Two went out next, but Denzer hit safely, and four runs were the total for the inning. Slagle was getting a warm reception which was continued in the next in ning, which opened with the cere monies attendant on the presentation of a base to Stratton. Glasscock flew out to Donovan, who was making some splendid plays in the center garden, and George hit to Slagle. The pitcher tried to get Stratton at third, but Camp did not touch his man until too late. Burns hit a hard one, which Donovan failed to stop, and Jim went clear around. Hollingsworth hit a nice one down the foul line, and Spies drove the ball out of the lot for two bases. Denzer again singled and went to second when they tried to catch Spies at the plate. Five runs for the inning when O'Rourke went out. Isabell then went in and gave three successive men bases, all of whom scored. Luther struck out Warner, the new man, and Glasscock's base on balls was the only charge against him A double play helped out Isabell in the sixth after he had given a base on balls. In the seventh the locals had three j on bases when the new man, Warner, I struck out a second time. A base on balls, two wild pitches and a long fly ' i to center scored Mcßride, and a base ! j on balls and Donavan's two-base hit ' were wasted when McFarland went i | out. Glasscock hit safely and stole second 1 j in the eighth, George flew out to Camp | ! and Burns hit to Lowney, going out at ' I first. Carney threw to the plate for a I J double play, and Donovan had Glass eock out by three feet, but Twitchell called him safe. Mullane hit for two i bases, but did not score. Lowney ff ot a single and Gilks a double with only one out, but neither could score.

Good hitting tells the story of yester day's contest between Detroits and Millers on the Minneapolis grounds. Flfield concluded that it teas too cold and Gayle was sent on the rubber. It took the locals three innings to locate his curves, but when they did connect the hits came thick and fast. Then, too, Gayle was pretty wild ( and prac tically lost his own gamei' It was a beauty and upwards of 4,000 people sat shivering through the cold and applauded. It dlcl not! seem to bother Figgemeier if it "was cold, for he pitched the same old'steady game which he has put up since his arrival in Millerdom. The weather jhad much to do with the fielding, though, and the errors are traceable to the inclemency. Dungan and Burnett .played a phe nomenal game, the former having one bad play though that cost Detroit three runs. His other chances were mervelous. Kuehne and J^aHy did some very clever fielding and more than once saved runs. By a curious coincidence the score was the same as the day before and was jig follows; Minneapolis. A.B. R. H. P.O. A. W.

THE BOERS WERE TO BE OVER COME BY T.IE FOBCE OP ARMS. , HAMMOND SUSPECTED DANGER. He Wrote to Jameson and Told Him Positively to Take No Imme diate Steps. LONDON, Sept. 2.— Reports having been circulated in the United States that John Hayes Hammond, the Amer ican engineer, who was manager of the De Beers' mines of South Africa, has j had a serious dispute with Dr. L. S. Jameson, leader of the Transvaal raid, now undergoing sentence of imprison ment for that offense in Holloway jail, a representative of the Associated Press has had an interview with Mr. Hammond on the subject. When ques tioned regarding the reported financial misunderstanding between himself and Dr. Jameson. Mr. Hammond said that the rumor was "absurdly untrue," add ing: "I never had any money transactions of any kind with Dr. Jameson, and so far as personal feelings go, I admire the man; but I and the other reformers have one great grievance against Dr. Jameson, namely, that he has allowed us to remain under the impute of cowardice, and has stated that he started for Johannesburg in obedience to our request. Our lips have hitherto remained sealed, but it was solely to help Dr. Jameson and his fellow pris oners. Had we spoken while they were in the hands of the Boers, or before their trial here, then their fate might have been very different "As a matter of fact, and one that will be conclusively shown during the coming parliamentary investigation, Dr. Jameson started in spite of express orders to the contrary. I will not at- tempt to disguise the fact that we in tended to secure by force of arms the reforms which were denied us, and that we intended to establish an inde pendent republic; but, not then. I not only telegraphed Dr. Jameson not to come; but I sent two of his own of ficers, who were at Johannesburg, Capt. Heldon and Maj. Heaney, the latter being an American, back to him, telling him on no account to start. I have not seen Dr. Jameson since my arrival in England, but both Mr. Phil lips and I have written him that we think the time has come for him to exonerate us." IRISH COKVEXTIO\ OVER. Common Opinion Said to Regard It as a Failure. LONDON, Sept. 2.—A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Dublin says: To all intents and purposes the Irish National convention is over, and the common opinion is that it has been a complete failure. The convention resumed its session this morning in Leinster hall, with every prospect of a lively day before the delegates. There were rumors of war on every side and little prospect of the harmony which the convention was organized to bring about. Shortly after the convention had been called to order, the Rev. Father Flynn moved the appointment of a committee of ar bitration, to be composed of home and foreign delegates, with instructions to draft rules and a platform to unite all the factions of the Irish parties. T. P. O'Connor, M. P., then took the floor and his eloquence aroused the first breeze of the day. He read Father Flynn's original resolution, suggesting that a committee be selected from three sections of the Irish parlia mentary party to prepare a basis of union, which resolution has since been amended, and which was believed to have been written by Timothy M. Healy, M. P., himself. Mr. O'Connor then fiercely cracked the disruption ists who are fighting the convention with every "dirty expedient." Canon Murnane, of London, succeeded in ob taining the floor and objected to Mr. O'Connor's language which he said, was defeating the object which the convention had In view; that if bring ing about unity among Irishmen of all I sections. A scene of great disorder fol- I lowed and was continued until Canon Murnane was ruled out of order. Mr. O'Connor then resumed his remarks and declared that the only way to kill dissension was to crush it by the "united determination of an angry peo ple," and urged the convention to give the Irish leaders means of uniting the Parnellites With the Irish party. He appealed to the delegates to uphold constitutional methods which, he added, if abandoned, meant a return to the use of dynamite. The discussion of Father Flvnn's resolution, which was the first test of strength between the Dillonites and Healyites, was long and bitter and the resolution was finally withdrawn in the interest of harmony. Later the convention adopted resolutions record ing its conviction that it was of the first importance that nationalist repre sentatives in parliament should be united in one home rule party In which every supporter of that policy would be cordially received and treated ac cording to his capacity to render serv ice to the common cause.
