Ono of tho features nt coif Inst week was tho
close finish In tho open handicap at Tuxedo,

did success at Tuxedo. It "111 Rlto a (treat

It cannot bo dented that tho handicaps hao
been tho weak fcaturo of tho scaBon. owlnjr to
tho remarkablo reversals of "form." It will
call attention to a practlco that has crown
up by imperceptible decrees until It has
bocome nn evil. It Is the habit of men
who belong to n number of clubs to enter tho
open handicaps throuirh the club that Rives to
' thero tho best ratine. This knowledge lias
ipread among somo of the clubs that havo been
jealous to secure tho new members, and as a
result they havo no scratch men. Tho mem-
v ber's handicap list beRlns at six or nine, so that
every one on tho list receives a lino allowance.
While a Rood colfor will resist tho temptation,
tho records will show whero the mittr-huntcrs
' bavo entered from clubs with which they aro
', not thoroughly Identified, and presumably to
reap tho benefits of tho longer hnmllcan. Con
sequently, to mako a trood handicap. It Is ncccs
ary to study tho cur's records rather than to
depend on tho statements In the entry blanks.
' A schctuo proposed by a Dykcr Mcndou Rnlfcr
to remedy this evil Is for the KccuiivoC'otn
i nilttee ot the C. S. (1, .. to keep a list of all
players and to notify cadi club monthly tho
i members whom they should post t scratch In
' the club handicaps. It Is claimed that this plan
5 would furnish to tho home secretaries nn In-
f telllsent basts on which to placo tho other mem-
J bers. and that consequently tho home handicaps
' would bo of real value at all open events of tho
it kind. Another method proposed is to mako it
, compulsory for thoso entering open handicaps
'l to name all their clubs and their rating at each,
It Is now apparent that golf will dlvldo with
3 football tho sporting attention of the autumn.
Thl week tho broad expanses of Mcndowbrook,
i which Is moro llko Wheaton than tiny links near

(. An Alleged net Against the Taebt Fedora.
1 North Tonawanda, Sept. 20. Sporting clr-
K. clea were greatly excited to-day when It was
learned that an alleged conspiracy to beat the
Et yacht Fedora oat of the championship of west-
4( ern New York and tho silver trophy offered by
,,- the Edgewater Yachting Club had been u:i-
!' earthed. The race to-day was the third of a
's aeries. It was pulled off in tho Niagara River
i opposite Edgewater, a few miles below this city.
j The contesting boats were the Kedora and
', the Knee Deeps Dream, The Dream hurl von
e' tho two races, and tho third wus to determine
f; the ownership of tho silver cup. Ilcfnre start
ing for Edgewater tho crow of tho Fedora turned
, her over on her Bide to clean her hull. The
men -claim that they found fastened to
1 her kflel a long wire cable, and an the
t end of the cablo was attached a long piece
of railroad iron weighing about twenty-live
pounds. This anchor was uufastcnod and placed
In the boat. Nothing was said about the matter
attbetlmo. Tho Captain of tho l'cdorn snjs
that this drawback provented him from winning
the othor two races, and ho declares he Is en-
tilled to tho trophy on account of tho foul.
This afternoon the two boatn went over the
line at exactly 4 o'clock. Tho Kedora Immedi
ately started out in tho lead. A (ill If guln was
blowing, and as she rounded tho first stake,
;. after going over two miles of the course, sho
, capsized. The crow was thrown Into tho rlvur,
and but for the timely arrival of the steam
, yacht Louis Miller It Is probable that
a frightful fatality would hate been wit
nessed. The Uneo Deeps Dream tontlnued
; steadily on her course, passing tho men
v struggling In the water and winning
the race without further competition. Tho
steam yacht Louis Bllller, after assisting them
' outoflbe water and getting tho boat right aide
Up, pulled her to tho Edgewater landing, Tho
race was given to tho Drenm.and tho Captain
,. and crew of that boat received tho silver cup,
' The crew of tho Fedora Is not satisfied w th the
! docislon of the judges, and it Is probaulo that
developments of ft scnsatlnniil naturowlll bo
unearthed, Tho crew ot tho Dream denies all
' knowledge of a plot.

Veteran Talent,
l'lUNCKTOH, Sept. 20. Tho football situation
atl'rlnccton this season Is remarkable, owing
to tho unwonted dearth of avallablo now
material, and but for tho fact that most of last
year's veterans ha o returned to collcgo and nro
again anxious to make tho 'varsity, tho chances
of retaining tho championship would bo ox
trcpiely slight. Of tho II0O entering classmen
only threo of any ability .vhatovcr havo pre
sented themselves at tho 'varsity field, and,
Judging from tho work shown thus far, none of
lhco Is capable ot obtaining a placo on a
Vrlnccton eleven.
Notwithstanding tho dssrth of fresh material,
the prospects for another first-class eleven are
encouraging. Capt, Cochrnn has at ptescnt In
training twenty men of known ability nnd ex
perience, from whom he can pick a team overy
lilt ns formidable as that which stretched across
Manhattan Field last season. Only four players
of last year's 'varsity team are absent from the
squad now In training Galley, who filled tho
position of centre rush; Church, left tackle;
llrnkaw, left end, and Smith, quarter back.
With only theso places to fill and several ex
perienced men trying for each place Capt.Coch
lan'a task will to a comparatively easy one
this fall. , ,
Jordan of tho Seminary, who played centro
for tho scrub Inst j ear. Is regarded as the best
man in college to xnap the ball back. Ho has
not jot becuseenon tho field, howcver.nndthoio
seems to bo somo doubt ns to whether ho will
again boacaudldato for tho position. Booth,
lHOO, Is the net best choice, nnd ho received a
good ik'nl of attention from the coacherslast
week. Ho weighs nn even 200 pounds, and has
anv amount ot sand, but llttlo or no ability In
this position. Edwards. 11100,1s another promis
ing aspirant with plenty of beef and some
natural ability. Ills weight at present
is 2115 pounds, and ho will put up a
shifty light for contre. Crowdls and Arm
strong, left and right guard, respectively,
on tho '00 eleven, aro In college, and with last
season's cpcrlcuco behind them should prove
valuable men.
Holt, 1UOO, n ho played guard on the scrub. Is
being tried nt left tackle, ltlplcy, llHll. Is listed
for tho place, and is doing fairly good work.
Hillebrand will le In condition to fill his old
place at right tackle, and Cochran will again be
found nt right end. thus forming tho right side
of the linn exactly the same as was played
in all the big games last season. For left end
there Is a long list of candidates, of whom but
two nro of 'arslty calibre. Oglesby Is a, good
tackier nnd corers ground quickly on n kick,
but Lathrop Is much heavier and Is aided by ex
perience acquired on his class and tho scrub
toms.
Behind tho line Ilalrd Is nctlng ns quarter
back. Arthur l'oe. l'.KH). Is also trying, and
1'nlnier. 'tw. Is n promising man forthopluce.
If Ilalrd sticks to quarter the light for full back
will bo between Wheeler, WOO, and Ayres. 'DO.
Ayros shows improvement, and Is much more
willing to work.
Trainer MuMnstcrs has put the grounds and
'varsity buildings in shape for an active season.
The training table for tbo first team will be
started this week lu tho Osborn Club house, and
tho scrub players will be accommodated In
town. Tho baseball practlco cago Is In readi
ness to be used for secret practlco when neces
sary. Tho field houso will this year oe used by
visiting teams. Johnnie l'oe. '115, Is nctlng as
head coach, and will be with the team all season.
TrlnttT Plays Her First Came en sTedaeaday.
ilAitTFonD, Sept. 20. Tho opening gamo of
the Trinity football eleven will be played here
on Wednesday with the Yalo team. The local
men expect to hold Yalo down to a small score
and mako her work for every point she gets.
Last season Trinity held the wearers of the dark
blue down to six points, and was within three
yards of making the score a tie. Many coachers
were on the field the past week, and they spent
much time in drilling the men, who have Im
proved greatly. Capt. Woodle. 'PS, will prob
ably retain his position at left half back, while
Littell. '99, will be the other back. Elds, '08,
and Itlch, '19. w HI be seen again on the ends, and
Ingalls, 'ill), and Lord, 'tit, the latter a new
player, arc almost suro of positions.
Two of lst year's substitutes, Johnson, '9A.
and Bacon, '09. are showing promising work.
The lack of large men with weight will be felt
in the guards, though. Another new Dlarer,
Blakslcy. '1H. will be tried at tackle, as he shons
up satisfactorily, (junrter back will bo filled
either by Sttirtevnnt. 1001. or Brown, 10OO, with
chances In fat or of the former, owing to bis ex
perience. There is a hot contest on for full back,
xeveral men making a pretty race. The strong
est candidates are Arundale, 1000; Bellamy,
l'JOl. and Brown. 1901.

The Slate Volunteer Carpa llatds Spirited
Aquatle Carnival.
The Volunteer I.lfo Saving Corps of the State
of New York mustered at I'luier Bark yesterday
and earned many fresh laurels In an Interesting
aquatic carnival. The affair was the first of its
kind held by tho corps, and w us promoted to
bring tho general public moro in touch with tho
organization and its humane objects. Eighteen
Btations from points along the Manhattan and
Long Island shores were well represented, nnd
the Valencia Boat Club, which is working up a
similar organization in New Jersey, had a dele
gation of thirty men on hand. Tho holiday
public responded enthusiastically to the
invitations, and tho various items on tho pro
gramme were watched by 5,000 persons from the
long pier which juts out Into Gravcsend Bay
and from every available rowing nnd sailing
boat In the vicinity. It was what tho promoters
designed to make it. a veritable aquatic carni
val, nnd tho various details were Intelligently
handled by a committee consisting of Col. John
Wesley Jones. 1'resldent of the corps; Vice
Commodore Theodore Kroinbuch, Stnto In
spector Albert Tower, AssistantState Inspector
HughDotierty; Capt. J, C. Cole, Canarsio sta
tion, and Capt. Charles MacKuroe, Itocknway

Cupt. D. Dalton, thenotedlong-distnnce swim
mer, started tho fun early by taking to tho
woter In full military uniform at 11:30 o'clock In
tho morning. He plunged in at the root of
lifty-elghth street. South Brooklyn, nnd swam
steadily to L'lmer I'ler, where ho nrrlved lu
good shupo shortly beforo 1 o'clock In the nf tor
noun. Ho was accompanied bv n steam launch,
but required no assistance. With tho Graves
end Bay Yacht Club house as headquar
ters and a flotilla of small boats defining tho
scene of operations, tlio committee quick!)' got
matters in running order. Tho diving hich
took placo from the roof of tho clubhouse, u drop
of forty feet Into six feet of water, was a strik
ing feature. In which the girl competitors more
than hold their own. Elaine Holding, a sturdy
llttlo one of li oars, performed with cspocinl
cleverness. Tho swimming evoits alsocnught
tbo popular inner, but tho ei cnt of tbo day was
thn life-saving exhibition.
John Dunne of tho Coney Island Creek station
went out about fifty yards In n small boat,
which ho artistically swamped. Charles Mac
hnroo plunged from the rail of the pier to the
rescue, while tho Conov island Creok lifeboat
wont along at full Bpccd on the same mission,
The apparently struggling pair in tho water
wore hoisted aboard in it jltTr nnd tho boat
lashed away for the float. Dunne was pluccd
on a plank and subjected to the full manual of
restoration until ho stood up. red as a lobster,
amid tho cheers of thucrund. It was n clover
bit of mako-bellevo all round, and showed that
tho boys know their business.
Hniidsumo prlicswcre subsequently presented
by Col. Jones, and several llfo savers of the
corns cre decorated with medals. Tho corps
is about W.000 strong, and Is responsible for the

TiieSi'N is indebted to John T.Norton of this
city for n photograph of Kingston, the mighty
son of Spendthrift and Kapanga, bought re
cently by James It. Kcenu for J'J.'i.OOO. Tho
picture was taken by Mr. Norton during a re
cent visit to Kentucky. It shows that Kingston,
always a splendid specimen of tho thorough

should bo a great success in tho stud, as tho
mares at t'astleton nro rarely bred, having tho
best strains of English and American blood In
their veins.

English exchanges tdiow that tho three-year-old

Fri r'n Balsam is not knocked out by his
Journey he will show his heels to his
field nt some portion of tho rnic. St. Cloud
II. is much fanned for t he Cesarenlli hand thero
is considerable demand for Auiruit Belmont s
Keenaii. It looks as thuugh our American
owneii horses would play a very important part
in the big "back-cud" handicaps ot the Eugllsh

English critics hate been wondering where a
jockey nt tw Kunds lould lw secured for St.
Cloud li. who could mak him run over tho
Cesarcwitch course, which Is upwnrd of two

many Americans, will be surprised to hear
that Tod Sloan, thokreatest rider in Amorlca

England on Wednesday ci the City of Paris
to pilot Votor In tho Caribrldgcshlro and St.

If John E. Madden sends Hamburg to Latonla
to race with Malvolto, tho good people ot Ohio

opinion of conservative racing men Hamburg is
the racehorse of this country In this or nny

tho son ot Fonso having the remotest

Two big meetings, ono In the East nnd one In

exiept for tho minor local meetings whlih will
bn in progress until snow Dies, lu the Kant tho
New England breeders hold their ulrvuiith an
nual meeting at Itcudvllle, commencing In-day.
Tho feature nf thu meeting Is the great C,IIIH)
Puritan hliike, for trotting stulllotisellglbloti)
tho -lit) class. Tho free-for-all pain, with
Dumps, (Iniuctt, Planet, and tho best
ot tho season's sldo-whcclers, should prove
ono of tho girntcst races of tho jear
among the snund division pacers, tho barring
ot Star Polnlur and Juo Palchen leaving thu
rare a vory open one. All of thu icmiiiuing
twentyduo stakes and purses, none ofnhlch,
except in tho iMO-yenr-old races, urn for less

the "fastest record truck "is assured of a most
successful full meeting.
Tho announcement Is officially mado that tho
Messrs. Hamlin will sell thu ontitostnhlo whiih
they hnvo been racing bo successfully this sea
sou. This will plat o upon tho market probably
thu greatest collection of successful campaign
ing mateilnl uwir ollcri'd tit Public salo, nnd
speaks volumes for thu entnrprlsu of tho uwners
and tbo resources of tlio Village Farm, for this
disposal salo will necessarily entail n complete
reliance upon tlio untried product of tho farm
for next season's racing material.
As a rule tho truu horso lover has a natural
Btralu of bontlincntdlity and HofPhunrtodness
which precludes oi en the semblance of ungctior
oils treatment to horses whlih In their j until
nnd prlino havo won golden honors and by pre
dominant merit havo attained moro than
ordinary repute. To this commendable feeling
is duo tho general expression of censure, in some
instnnces loo well deserved, whenoor uuo of
tbo popular favorites Is forced, w hoi her in old
ago or under tho stressor infirmity, to compote
with animals far their Inferiors by comparison
with tho deeds of tbelr past.
During the present season thero have been
svernl Instances wherein this sentiment wus
provoked. Tho most notable was the oaso of
grand old Hal Pointer. l!:01'j. Ho Is now 13
years old, and, though at one tlmo tho indispu

Tim recent record breaking team performance
of John It. Gentry and Itobert J. at Philadelphia
was especially remarkable because of the fact,
not generally known at iho time, that beyond
slow Jogging work the pair had noter leen

more creditable. Tho pair will bo sent

that a material reduction will hit mado In the

Tho rofusnl of C. K. Slmins, Jr., President ot
the Associated Cycling Clubs ot this city, to be
como a candidate for tho ofllco ot Chief Consul
of tho U A, W. In this Stnto, removes all fear of
opposition developing against Waltor Jenkins
of Buffalo, the regular candldato. This, however,
docs not mean that tho opposition element has
withdrawn from the Hold, as steps nro now
being mado to launch nn independent tlckot
for tho election of representatives to the divis
ion board ot officers. Tho names of n number
of prominent wheelmen in this city and Brook
lyn will be on the list. Tho election for officers
and division representatives will bo decided
bynmallvoto next month, and It is cxpectod
that tho existing rivalry will lead to ono of the
closest elections ever held,
Michael's defeat of Luclan Losna at Manhat
tan Beach on Saturday Is acceptod as proving
his superiority In paced match races. The ease
with which Mlchaol has vanquished nil his
rivals this year will no doubt have the effect ot
discouraging Amorlcan riders from meeting
him In mitch races and it Is likely that Michael
will enter competition events next year. Pos
sessing great staying qvalllles and a wonderful
sprint he is likely to provo a big factor In open
events.
Ono ot the best-attended century runs of the
season was that ot tho Acme Wheelmen of Jer
sey City, which took placo yesterday to Now
Brunswick. Fully 1100 riders competed. Tho
slow division left tho clubhouse, at Monmouth
and Fourth streets, at 0:110 o'clock ln tho morn
ing, and tho fast division started an hour later.
The clubs represented were:
The Mutual Wheelmen of Ilrooklyn, AJax Wheel
men, Crusade Wheelmen of this city; ltuthcrford
Cyclers, .ACtna Wheelmrn, North lludaon Cyclera,
Carlstadt Wheelmen, Three Links Wheelmen, Clio
Wheelmen, Hudion County Whoelinen, IroquoU
Wheelmen, lloulevard Cyclers, Catholic Club Cyclera,
and Nlantlc Wheelmrn.
Thc.routcwas via Belleville. Springfield, and
Plalnllcld. The brisk winds caused the dust to
fly in clouds, and this mado tho riding tin
pleasant and somewhat tedious. It was closo to
0 o'clock last evening when the first of tho
number returned to tho clubhouse. Four
women undertook the trip, and it was not ex
pected that they would finish. While It was not
certain ut u late hour which club would win tho
silk banner for Iho most survivors. It will ln all
probability fall to tho lot of tho AJax Cyclers of
Jersey City Heights.
