TALK ABOUT TURF— BRIGHTON BEACH
ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY.
Francis D. Beard is now one at the regular morn

manifesting an unusually lively Interest in the ex

"railbirds" have had their breakfast, and on sev

StKepshead Bay course before A. J. Joyner. who
trains h:s string of thoroughbreds, was up and

sunrise for any great length of time and be on hand
when his horse* are being trained, could not be

COST OP HORSE AND "AUTO."
A QUESTION WITH TWO SIDES TO IT
SOME COMPARATIVE FIGURES.
Whether automobiles are cheaper than horses is
a <J ues t'on to which there are undoubtedly two
sides. It is asserted In behalf of tho automobile
that it Is more economical than the horse for cab
service, and that more can be accomplished with It.
The radius of action of the automobile is said to
b« fully equal to that of the horse, and It Is said to
be superior In sustained speed. Vehicles can be
operated at a cost of only two cents a mile.
An officer of one of the automobile manufacturing
companies said yesterday to a Tribune reporter:
The horse is a thing of the past for certain kinds
or ■work. We know that automobiles .ire at least
one-third cheaper than horses, depending on the
size of the plant. This applies particularly to the

are running electric omnibuses in New-Haven as
streetcars, with a five cent fare. These "buses can
be bought for less than the cost of laying down
the rails and ties on a trolley road, while the cost
of operating them Is about the same.
The following comparative estimate has been
made of the cost and maintenance of horse and
electric wagons:

The president of a motor wheel company said his
concern Intended to furnish motor wheels to
wagons and take them on livery at $15 a month,
which would be cheaper than horses.
"You can use a gasolene wagon," he went on,
"for fifty or sixty miles a day, which would tire
out any team. The expense, moreover, would not
be 60 per cent of that of a team of horses. A de
partment store can run a wagon forty miles a day
with a small amount of gasolene, while no three
horses in that time would make that distance.
"We propose to put motor wheels on cabs, to take
the place of horses, on a large scale. We duplicate
the horse, as it were, on the old cab for the price
of a good horse, and t>y attaching a motor wheel
to it make it an automobile."
James Heffernan, general manager of the New-
York Cab Company, in West Thirty-second-st.. said
there was no possibility whatever of the company
retiring the horse in favor of the automobile. The
horse, aa a matter of fact, was cheaper and gave
more satisfaction than the automobile. A promi
nent physician of this city recently purchased a
machine to make his round of professional calls
but gave it up dissatisfied and returned to the
horse.
Mr. Heffernan said that carriage horses were
scarcer and brought higher prices now than they
did five years ago. The Spanish and South African
wars took a great many horses out of the coun
try, and the bicycle riders grew so numerous that
the farmers stopped breeding horses. Breeding,
however, had been resumed, and the horse was
rapidly coming into favor again. One department
store, which used six automobiles, had two of them
In the repair shop most of the time. Skilled elec
tricians had to be employed, and It cost more
simply for repairs to a machine than to keep a
horse and cab.
The New-York Cab Company, Mr. Heffernan
added, had never before received so many orders
from private establishments fur private turnouts
for the fall and winter as it had received in the
spring, when those orders are always given in
hiring turnouts by the month.
TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.

day to visit friends at Tannersvilie, N. 1., but did
not start for there until Friday. A West Shore
Railroad ticket giving passage from New-York to
Tannersvilie was found on him. stamped August 3.
It is supposed that Marx either fell or jumped from

Marx left a wife and one child.
Catsklll N. V., Aug. 6.— ln a barroom adjoining a
dancing pavilion here last night William Hoallord.
of New-York City, shot and killed William Ryan,

CYCLING.
BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY TAKEN ADVANTAGE
OF BY A GREAT NUMBER OP
RIDERS— SOME TROUBLE
FROM DUST.
Another perfect day for the combined sport and
exercise of wheeling was taken advantage of to the
full yesterday by many thousands of the resi
dents of all boroughs of this city. From the earli
est morning light until midnight there were throngs
of wheelmen on the paths and boulevards which
are the frequented places of riding, while in the
greater part of the day large groups of riders were
far out on the good roads of Long Island. West
chester County and New-Jersey. In fact, the finely
tempered air, the clear sky. the gentle breeze and
the charms of nature at her best tempted many
riders to take long trips, and as a consequence the
most popular wheelways within the city were not
as thronged as Is usually the case on a pleasant
Sunday afternoon. l>ut there was no lack of both
men and women riders on the Coney Island path.
Riverside Drive, tho Hudson County Boulevard
and Jerome-aye.
Those who went seaward found the breeze some
what stiff in their faces as they neared Coney
Island, but rejoiced in the fact that it would blow
them homeward, and they sped merrily back to
Prospect Park and the streets of Brooklyn. Even
those who made their trips with the wind early
in the day found before nightfall that it had gone
down so that it was no obstruction In returning.
Out in the districts beyond the watering cart,
the dust was a serious obstacle to the pleasure of
riding, especially to> the members of clubs and the
long distance riders and all of those who made
centuries returned dust laden and uncomfortable.
Those who had taken the precaution of protecting
the eyes with goggles fared the best.
In a few minutes of the afternoon a sextet, a
quad, triplet and half a dozen tandems, each with
a more or less numerous contingent of followers,
were seen pn the Brooklyn cycle path. The übiqui
tous green veil worn by women has appeared on
the wheel, and a number were out yesterday. The
"shirt waist" contingent of men riders was not as
great as on hotter days, and a majority of tho men
wore coats, which were appreciated when stopping
in the breeze.
There was a large gathering of riders at Concert
Grove in Prospect Park at the hour for music
yesterday afternoon, and every tree in the place
assigned for wheel 3 supported one or more ma
chines. The suggestion that the Park Department
should provide wheelracks there as Is done in other
parts of that popular pleasure ground has not been
acted on. An over-enthusiastic wheelman, so.ins
the opportunity afforded for drivers to keep their
vehicles in motion while listening to the music,
suggested that a similar opportunity be provided
for whrel riders, but the majority prefer to rest
while listening to the band.
About two thousand spectators witnessed the
weekly amateur bicycle races at the Guttenburg
track yesterday. The main attraction was the
twenty-flve-mile interstate championship, in which
there were thirty-five starters. John Bedell, of
Lynbrook, Long Island, captured first place, with
George Schofleld, of the Kings County Wheelmen,
second. In the match race J. Jasper, of the North
Hudson County Wheelmen, was not the equal of
George C. Schreiber. of the Harlem Wheelmen,
and the New-York m;tn won in two straight heats.
Oeorge Schofleld. of the Kings County Wheelmen,
won the one-mile open by a small margin.
The summaries:
Half mile novice — Won by K. Burling, Brooklyn: Harry
.Davis, New-Jersey, second; M. J. Connelly, Lyndhurst,
Long Island, third. lime — 2:37%.
One mile open amateur — Won by George Schofleld,

Mile match race between George C. Schreiber. Harlem
Wheelmen, and John Jasper. North Hudson County 'Wheel
men — by Schreiber in two straight heats. Time —
2:88% and 2:37%.
An occasional rider of a tandem In the past has
decided to give up this variety of wheel. He says:
"I have had considerable experience in riding a
tandem, although I never owned one, and now I
am convinced that I would not give one house room,
If it were made a gift to me. I took a young
woman out riding one day last week on a. tandem,
and before we had gone many miles the steering
apparatus stretched so that it was almost impos
sible for me to guide the machine at all. After
several efforts by my companion to control it by
the front handlebars I secured a stout string and
managed to lash the steering gear so that I had
partial control of it. so in fear and trembling we
made our way home. Hut deliver me from such an
experience again, as the strain is entirely too gnrat,
and I don't want such a task. It Is hard enough to
manage a tandem at the best, but to manage an
almost unmanageable one is worse than driving a
hard-headed horse."
The match race between Owen Klmball. of Louis
ville, and Frank Kramer, of East Orange, which
was to he the drawing card at the Vallsburg bicycle
track at Newark, yesterday, did not take place.
About four thousand spectators were disappointed
when the race was declared off. Kimball is in no
condition to ride, as the fall he received last week
disabled him. Floyd Krebs. the professional, who
recently left tho amateur ranks, made a good
showing for himself by finishing second to Kramer
In ., the « fi , v e " ml , l . e } landtc ap and third In the half
mile. Robert Walthour won the half-mile profes
sional from the ten-yard mark, with Frank Kramer

but the Judges decided that Wilson was the victor
by a few Inches. The summaries:

More than eight hundred riders started out yes
terday in the invitation century run of the Vet
erans over the Iyon< Island course. The Veterans
are made up of riders who have accomplished many
a century, and a hundred miles did not bother
them. They started off in eight divisions, each di
vision having B twenty-minute start. J. T. Wall
had a bad accident, running into a fence and
smashing an arm and ins wheel. Thj Asen Wheel
men had a sextet in the run, which frightened
;i horse. The animal ran into one of the riders,
throwing him into ;< ditch. Henry Dui-ker. who is

BVXSET PARK'S GOLF LINKS.
A GOOD SIX HOLE COURSE THAT IS EX
JOYED BY MANY PLAYERS.
Lovers of grolf in the Eighth Ward of Brook
lyn have a delightful playing ground at Sunset
Park. This is a high hill, with fine views of
the Bay, ocean and surrounding country for
many miles, higher, in fact, than all other land
In the vicinity. It runs from Forty-first to
Forty-third-st.. and from Fifth to Seventh-aye.
The city purchased the property about ten
years ago. It was then a part of the Ira O.
Miller estate, and was known as Miller's Woods,
a good gunning ground. Thirteen years ago
J. C. Smith. W. C. Smith. Thomas Mcßae and
William Barron, all of whom were devotees of
the grame in Scotland, desired to resume the
pastime they had found so congenial at home.
A three hole course was the best they could
lay out at the time. When this was well trod
den into something like playing shape by the
men named and their associates, three holes
more were added.
This links, however, was crude, and when the
Sunset Park Golf Club was started, about two
years ago, the Park Department came to the
assistance of the golfers. Thomas Bendelow,
who was then in charge of the Van Cortlandt
Park links, laid out a new six hole course^ — all
that the nature and size of the property would
permit— and over this ground the hardy players
may be seen in all seasons chasing the little
white ball. Sunset Park is particularly well
adapted to the sport, its many natural hazards
making low scores a somewhat difficult feat.
An interesting feature of the park is the natu
ral rook wall which is now in course of con
struction. The plan waa made by John De
Wolf, and is being carried out by Samuel N.
Bowen, of the Park Department.
A petition to th«> Mayor and Board of Esti
mate and Apportionment, which is receiving
many signatures, asks that body to acquire the
strip of land lying between Forty»thlt*- and
Forty-fourth sts.. and contiguous .«o Buaset
Park. It is claimed that no other park
in the city of New-York possesses such
beautiful features as this little space in the
Eighth Ward, and it is altogether too. small for
the throngs of people who even now resor; to it
on every pleasant day and summer evening.
To reduce its already limited area. It is claimed,
would be a public misfortune, and If the whole
space is not acquired the lake, the unique
natural feature, which never loses its water in
the most severe drouth, will be destroyed, the
greatest beauty of the park gone, and a most
interesting natural phenomenon lost to the city
for ever.

BOXIXG.
THE FITZSIMMONS-RUHLIN TIGHT.
The* betting on the outcome of the Fitzsimmons
and Ruhlin fight, which is scheduled to take place
before the Twentieth Century Athletic Club in
Madison Square Garden on Friday night. Is caus
ing the admirers of both men to do much thinking.
The friends of Fitzslmmona think he will whtp his
opponent in the first few rounds, as they expect to
see Ruhlin enter the ring somewhat nervous, and
that Fitzsimmons will not be slow to take advan
tage of his condition.
As a heavy hitter Fitzsimmons is said to outclass
a., the other heavy weights In the ring to-day. It
Is admitted that he will meet an able opponent
when he faces Ruhlin. The decisive victory of the
latter over Sharkey and the hard training he is
going through for the contest have led a good
many to prefer his chances. His friends say they
expect to see him win inside of ten rounds, as
Fitzsimmons is growing old and his age will tell
against him.
A YOFXG 'XIGGFR" HCSTER.
From The New-Orleans Times-Democrat.
"Last Wednesday night," said a m-in about town,
"shortly after our local Boxers raided a second hand
store in South Rampart-st., there was a tremendous
explosion near the Poydras Market. It mounded
like a mountain howitzer and many T,ei>p!«j are
still wondering what caused tt. I happen to be able
to throw some light upon the subject. While the
mob was breaking Into the store I waa standing
at a respectful distance, looking on. One of the
raiders was a very small street urchin, with
nothing on but a ragged shirt and a pair of cut-off
overalls that came up under his armpits nnd were
held in position by a piece of rope In lieu of sus
penders. He was a grotesque object to oegin with,
and when he rushed out. lugging a horse pistol aa
long as hia leg he was enough 'o make v cow
laugh. However, he was in deadly earnest. The
pistol was of the 'dragoon' pattern, using a percus
sion cap and carrying a ball as big around as a
man's thumb. It must have been at least fifty
years old and looked like a relic of «ome museum:
but the gamin was highly elated. 'Aw, Jes' lemrr.e
see a nigger now!" he yelled, snapping the lock of
the rusty old cannon; 'I'll blow him ip!" "Dats de
stuff kid!' bawled several hoodlums who were in
his wake, and the group started toward the mar
ket. I followed. The boy was snapping his bis
pistol continually, and asking everybody he saw
whether they had any powder and shot. The ;»arty
ha.l proceeded about a block when a tall mulatto
darted out of an alleyway and cut across the street.
Instantly the hoodlums raised a yell. 'Dere's a nig
ger: they bellowed. 'Ketch "Im! kill 'im! shoot 'im!'
Just then the boy srapped his ancient artillery for
the hundredth time, and It went off with a deafen
ing explosion. The recoil knocked the Doy over
backward, the pistol flew Into the air. and tre
tnHHlluma sprinted away in all direction.-, nowllng
with terror. I suppose they thought somebody
bad thrown a bomb at them. As soon as he was
aWe tie urchin picked himself up and oadtlled
off toward Canal-st.. crying at the top of his voice.
The last I saw of the horse pistol tt was lying in
the gutter, smoking. I think the mulatto escaped."
LACKING SOME FEATURES.
From The Kansas City Journal.
A Pettls County paper relates a rather fishy
turtle story, perhaps a mock turtle story, told by
a man named Mills, who lives near Fisher** Lake.
Mills says his dog found the turtle near his hen
nery Just as It was about to make a meal of a
tender. Juicy spring chicken which had unsuspect
ingly strayed too near it. The dog rescued the
chicken, but himself became the prisoner of the
turtle, and when Mills reached the scene th« snap
per had pulled hla dogship beyond his depth into
the lake and was slowly drowning him. Inasmuch,
however, as the account of the happening contains
no statement to the effect that there was found
upon the turtle the initials of Colonel Zebulon M.
Pike and the date "ISM." but little credence is
likely to be given It.
Co\oxa4.o.
A Year in Camp, Under niUtary Training,
with Equipment, Rations, etc,
Supplied, Free of Cost.
The Tribune has the exclusive right ill
New- York City to appoint one man to this
Encampment, for one year, free of rost.
Those who have to pay are charged 1500
a year.
The prize will be awarded Sept. Ist, to
the man receiving the most votes from
readers and buyers of The Tribune. Votes
consist of headings of the first paae of the
Daily or Sunday Tribune, btaring date from
July 14 to Sept. 1, IWO. One heading
counts as one vote; ten headings as ten
votes; and so on.
For further particulars, consult The
Tribune to-morrow. A circular of infor
mation will be sent to all who desire. The
contest is open to any man who car -ide a
horse and shoulder a rifle, in Connecticut.
New-York and New-Jersey.
To H. M I-:— Please send street address to
The Tribune. No candidates accepted until we
have verified their good faith.

Those desiring infurmation. but not ellglM*
to The Tribune scholarship, can obtain ail par
ticulars concerning the Encampment from C.
D. Gurley. Secretary. 71 Broad 3t., New-York
City.
The chance presented by The Tribune ia tm*
of the b°st ever offered to young men in this
part of the country. A man can train rifle prac
tice in one branch of the Regular Army, and
cavalry drill in another. But he is obliged to
enlist for a term of years and encounter all th«
dangers of actual warfare. In other words, tn
the Army he ia sure of all the hardship* and
not at all sure of any of the pleasures. In th«
Rough Rider Encampment he will have to drill.
and can learn to ri-K shoot, signal and hunt.
but he will be as safe as at West Point and
have a delightful time.
The young competitors, in list below. ne*d
now to go around amontr their friends and gat
as many as possible to vote for them. No one
has won the rar* yet. and no one will for over
thrp^ weeks yet. and any one who has a dozen
friends working for hirr will make a most cred
itable showing in due time.
