Jt The Excellent Sport at Ivy City Yes terday. Notwithstanding the fact that rain began to fall just aboi'.t the time the people were on their wiy to the train*, the attendance at Ivy Citv yesterday wan much the largest of the meeting. It was a holiday .crowd and jnst be cause a little ruin fell it did not propose to lose its pleasure. At the track a nasty, disagreea ble. misty rain fell all afternoon and would have made a log-" good natured crowd intensely uncomfortable. The racing was by far the best of the meeting and as three favorites were first past the post the public got the money and went home in good humor. The races were railed prumptlv and as the starting was good and there were no long de lnys at the post the crowd was homeward bound by a little after 5 o'cloe-k. THE STEEn.E-CHAHE. As on the first day the steeple-chase was the race of the day for the public. The betting men may not have liked it so well but it pleased the ladies anel gentlemen who go to the races merely for pleasure and confine their wagers to gloves and candy. There were Bix starters and of that number five come to grief at one time or another, while the sixth had to make three attempts at the water jump before lie got over. When the llag fell, Hercules was first away, but Elphin at once) ^went out and set a killing pace. At the first jump Mentmore refused as usual, while old IJob Miles amused the crowd by turning a somersault. Going up the hill Elphin was leading by forty lengths, with Jake Shipsey second ten be fore Hercules. At. the third jump they were going too fast for Killarney and he fell, leaving only Elphin. Shipsey and Hercules in the hunt. When well in the field Shipsey bolted, and as his bridle broke Mara rolled off in the mud. At this time Elphin was a quarter of a mile to the good, but at the next jump necked badly and Killings rolled off and his horse got away. Hercules being the only one le-ft came oil. and to make matters more "inter esting refused the water twice before he could l>e induced to try it. When he did jump he landed in the middle, right on the hard con crete and must have jarred both himself and his rider badly. Meanwhile Ben l'ope, Elphin* s trainer, whs trying to catch his horse so that he might put Hillings up and let him gallop over for the ?150 place money. Otficer Slack, how ever, much to the disgust of the crowd, arrested him. While Slack was busy with l'ope some one else caught Elphin. Billing* remounted and finished second, lialf a mile behind Her cules. THE YOCTHrUL STAKES developed a good colt ill Davis A Hall's voung sttr Bavarian by Longfield-Bavaria. The manner in which he squandered his field stamps him a colt of more than ordinary ability. Tie re was a long delay at the post caused by Tom Finley. who has i\trendy developed quite a temper. When the flag dropped it was to an excellent start. "Spider" Anderson at once took Bavarian to the front, and the race was never in doubt. li* winning in the easiest possi ble manner fioni Insight, who was one length before Tennessean with Jay-Qn-El close up. Time. DO3,. salvivi's RACE. The talent and the public could see nothing in the tir.-t race but Tom nood. and he was backed all over the ring until at the close the be-t that eould be had about him was 7 to 5. King Crab's people thought ho had quite a chance, and backed their opinion, but the Crab was never in it. When Mr. Caldwell drnpjH'd the fl ;g the order was. Hood. Salviui. King t'rab. and Biggonet. Going up the back stretch Salvini assumed command, and never being headed, won handily by a length from Biggonet. w ho beat l'ocatello four lengths for the place, Tom Hood. King Crab, aial Annie Claire finishing as named. Time, 1:17. THE HANDICAP was a groat race and was won amid the greatest excitement in the grand stand. Le Logas showed the way till well in the stretch, with Boaz and Less lapped a length away. When well in the stretch the pair drew out. "nnd after a good finish Hamilton landed Boaz by a short head from !5 ss. who beat Le Logas four lengths lor the place. Time, 1:4j. It was a foregone conclusion that Patrocles would win the selling race, and as the book makers only offered 1 to 3 against his chances the public looked for a place horse to back, and finally se ttled on Litretia. while some little public money went on Wynwood, and the fol lowers of the blue and orange piked away at Boccaccio the handsome. When the Hag fell Patrocles jumped out in front and won with the greatest ease by four lengths from Boc caccio. who best Litretia a length for the place, after a good fight. Time. 1:18. Bohert Wallack amused the crowd by jump ing the walls m the inticld with his gray pony until he filially fell off amid shouts of laughter. Green Morris yesterday purchased the b. h. Panama from J. T.

How Washington Lost Again ?Other Games. The Senators made too many errors yesterday afternoon. n*d dropped a game, in conse quence, to the New York Giants. The score was 9 to 7, the New Yorkers pulling out in the eighth inning and scoring four times with the tally 6 to 4 against them. Healv and Ebright and W elch and Ewing were the batteries. There was no advantage for either side in the pitchers' box. so far as batting was concerned, but Htaly was wild, and thus enabled the Uothamites to obtain their lead, lie gave live bases on balls, and made three wild pitches. Ebright'* work behind tho Mi was shaky; he made n couple of errors, and let three balls pass him. On the other hand Ewing's sup P?, ^ eJcli was almost perfect, and this fact had a strong influence on the result. Each team made 10 hits, while New iork made '2 errors and Washington 5. The Statesmen exeeiled. perhaps, in long hitting. < arney and Healv each made a double. Ebright a three-base hit and Carney and Ebright a home-run apiece, while O'Kourke was the only New lorker who could squeeze more than one jR<Lion* of his batting, he making three doubles. Washington earned 5 runs and New jork 2. Shoch played iu left field, Wilmot not being yet in shape, and made three singles. Carney was in right. Morrill on first and Sweeny on third, each of these men playing his position perfectly. Wise made 1 error in 5 chances, and Myers 2 in 5 chances. The base running was sharp and exciting, the men tak ing more chances than on the previous day. OTHER GAMES. Pittsburg succeeded iu taking a second game from Cleveland yesterday afternoon by the score of 6 to 4. Beattin and Sntcliffe and Con way and Fields wc*e the 'batteries. The bat ting was light. Conway bei^g the only man to break beyond a single by making a tremendous hit over the left center-field fence, Pittsburg made t> hits and 1 error and Cleveland ti iiits and 4 errors. Philadelphia won again from Boston in the presence of over 11,000 people, the score being i to 0. The result w;is accomplished by batting well bunched and loose field work bv the visit ors. The batteries were Madden and Kcllv and Saunders and Clements. Philadelphia made 8 hits and 4 errors und Boston 7 hits and ti er rors. A fine game between Indianapolis and Chi cago resulted in a victory for the Hoosiers by tiie score of 6 to 5. There wa * 110 particular superiority of batting or fielding 011 either side, but Indianapolis secured more bunches of hits, and therefore won. Whitney and Daily, and 1>wyor and Flint were the batteries! The Hoosicrs made 9 hits and 1 error, and Anson's men 11 hits and 2 errors. Other games: At Kansas City?Kansas Citv, 8; < incinnati, (>. At St. Louis (second game)? St. Louis. 10; Louisville. 4. At Brooklyn (sec ond game)?Brooklyn. 7; Baltimore, 2. At Co lumbus -Columbus. 5?; Athletic, 8. At New ark?Newark, 7; Worcester. 1. base-ball notes. It is evident that Manager Morrill is trying experiments with his team while away from home. He is playing first base himself, with Sweeny on third, and Carney in right. Two of these men are almost indispensable on the team. Morrill and Carney, but Sweeny, while lie has played third all right, so far. is cer tainly not yet a league player, although he will doubtless turn out well. It is hoped that the Senators will bring at least one game away from New York, before they return to play Boston lour games, begin ning on Friday. New York leads the league, with Philadel phia and Pittsburg second. Washington, hav ing lost all of its games, is last. It is acid that Paul limes is to be tried on first base at Indianapolis, and if he does not come up to time will be released. The necessary postponement of the game be tween the Bcporters and the Policemen from yesterday to Thursday on account of the rain was a sad disappointment to quite a number of people, who made the journev to the grounds under the delusion that the eighteen pieces of humanity were going to sacrifice their good looks and their health by scrambling around in tue soft soil ot tiie diamond. The great bulk of the tickct holders, however, remained at home. NEW VORK COMMENTS. The New York Sun says of yesterday's game: "Ebright ca^ight his first game for the Wash ington club. Although he is a fair back stop, be goes to pieces when there are men on the It was owing to his weakness that the New lorks got the lead early iu the game. He redeemed himself, however, with a home-ran hit. when two men were on bases, and put his club where it had a chance to pull out ahead but his weakness reappeared beforo the game was finished, and it was that which gave the New iorks their last lead, and finally the game " ihe M or hi says: "At two separate and dis tinct periods in the game it looked as though Washington would win. Ebright. the new Washington catcher, held the game in his hands several times and monkeyed with it as a Japan ese juggler handles the dying knives. With Washington iu the lead m the second inning, he tossed the morsel of victory to the home team by a disastrous passed ball. He then brought his club to the Iront again in the sixth inning with a long home-run hit into the Ito man ruins. Once more, in the eighth inning, he gave the victory to New York bv muffing O Bom-lie's foul fly, and this time'the cham pions clinched the gift with four runs." The Funeral ofI?r. Harvey LIndsIy. The funeral of Br. Harvey Lindsly took place at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon from his house, 824 Connecticut avenue, as stated iu The Ktau. Bev. I?r. Sunderland, who conducted the serv ice. paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of th? deceased. After prayer, the remains were .lorne to Oak llill cemetery, where thev were interred in the family ground, the words of commitment said, and the assemblage dis missed with the benediction. There were no pall-bearers. BfxrAxsojj Bros, will sell to-morrow at 5 o clock p. m. a new two-story dwelling and store with modern conveniences, No. 639 Pennsyl vania avenuffs. e. See advertisement.
