WORLD OF SPORT. The Bostonians Assume the Lead in the Race. Nancy Hanks Trots a Mile in 2:09 Flat at Richmond. Allerton Trots an Exhibition Mile in 2:10)6. Baclng at Graveseod—Strathmeath, the American Derby Winner, Beaten. Sporting News from ' Many Points. The Bostonians are now in tho lead in the race for the pennant in the National league by a slender margin. It has now settled down to a race between Chicago and Boston, and it will be a royal one, too. New York Bhould finish third. The Bostonians have'been putting up the etiffest kind of ball for a month past. The second annual fair of Orange county ie now in full blast at Santa Ana. Quite a number of Angeleflos go down every day to see the sport. Friday and Saturday promise to be the two best days of the week. On Saturday Lucy R., Glendine and McKinney come to gether. The railroad company has made a special rate. Richmond, Indiana, was yesterday the ecene of two wonderful performances Nancy Hanks came within a quar ter of a eecond of equaling the long-standing record of Maud S. of 2:08%. Nancy Hanks ie undoubtedly the greatest trotter in the world. She ie a race mare, and in the coming match the writer predicts that Allerton will meet his Waterloo. Nancy Hanks beat Allerton once before, and can do the trick again. The Richmond track ie not as fast as the Independence track, over which Allerton made his record, and these conditions must be considered in comparing records. Tne kite-shaped track is anyway from two to three seconds faster than the elliptical track. This ia generally ac knowledged and is susceptible of proof. Nancy Hanks is only 5 years old. Maud S. was 11 when she made the world's record of 2:08%. It certainly looks as if Nancy Hanks will be crowned queen in the "very near future. Readers of this column will remember that the prediction was made in this paper that Maud S. was liable to be dethroned,and Nancy Hanks Was mentioned as the one most likely to do it, although the record was five secondsslower than now. There is now only half a second dif ference between the records of Maud 8., Nancy Hanks and Allerton. The record made by Faustino should not be overlooked. If the writer's memory is not at fault it is the fastest time ever made by a 3-year-old in a race, Faustino was bred in California, and is by Sidney, the premier stallion at the Valensin stock farm. Nancy Hanks enjoys the distinction of never having lost a race. She holds the record for the fastest three heats, and has trotted the second fastest mile on record. Nancy Hanks also holds tbe 6-year-old record of the world. GRAND TROTTING. Nancy Hanks Goes a Mile In 3:o9—Faus tlu..'.. Creat Record.

A JUDICIAL OUTBAGB. Tho Han Fruiclicci' Oram! Jury Will Ignore Judge Murphy's Decision. San Francisco, Sept. 30. — Barclay Henley, foreman of the grand jury, said today: ,l I regard Judge Murphy's de cision as a judicial outrage, and as an unlawful attempt to set aside tbe lawful judgment of Piesiding Judge Wallace. The grand jury has not yet met to dis cuss the matter, but we will ignore the decision as if it had not been made. We will go on." Other grand jurors expressed simi lar opinions, and said no attention would be paid by the jury to the de cision. Attorney-General Hart said: "The grand jury is a legal body, and was legally empaneled in accordance with the laws of the state. As to Judge Murphy's decision, I cannot express an opinion until I have read it." On being asked if he would take steps to have the supreme court rule upon the validity of the grand jury's proceed ing?, the attorney-general said: "Yes, I have considered such a course, and may act with that object in view at once. The only way to get the matter before the supreme court is on a writ of prohibition or review." JUDOB MURPHY SCOKKI). The "Monarch of the Dallies" Flays Ills Honor Alive. San Francisco, Sept. 30.—The Ex aminer will say editorially tomorrow: "Judge Murphy has done what was expected of him. He has appointed himself a supreme court to review and overrule the decisions of the presiding judge of the court of which he is one of the least important and least reputable members." After scoring Murphy, characterizing his conduct as scauda'ous indecency, the Examiner says: "The next thing is to continue the fight and keep on fighting until honesty has possession of the field, and when the accounts of the grand jury with tbe pcoole are eloped, we may have a city government without a boss, a legislative delegation with out a bribe-taker, and a superior court without a traitor." THE CALL'S REMARKS. In r?gard to Chute's- discharge the Call says editorially : "For the hour chi canery wins; boodle is triumphant, and the effort to put a check to corruption has been checked by a superior court judge. The decision is bad law and had morals, but nobody looked for anything else. If any man supposes the Uprising is going to stop here he is mistaken. The present miscarriaae of justice will simply add fuel to the flame; it will in tensify the determination of the people to uproot boodleisfri, root and branch." A MASS MEETINQ,.CALLED. A mass meeting has been called, to take place next Friday night at the Metropolitan hotel, to protest against Judge Murphy's decision in declaring the grand jury an illegal body. A WHIT Off BRKOR. A Decision That luterests the Merchants of California. San Francisco, Sept. 30.—The first writ of error issued by the supreme court since the adoption of the conpti tntion in 1879 w,as ordered issued this afternoon in the case of F. H. Widher against tbe supreme court of San Joaquin county and Judge Budd. It appears that certain creditors of W. W, Stockwell petitioned the San Joaquin county court in February last to adjud icate him insolvent. Three days after the filing of a creditors' petition, the debtor filed his own petition, whereon he was immediately adjudicated insolvent. Stockwell having ten days in which to answer the creditoro' petition, he tiled his voluntary petition to defeat the order of adjudication on the creditors' petition. Judge Bndd refused to adjudicate Stockwell insol vent upon the creditors' petition, and also permitted the secured creditors to vote for an assignee in the amountof their secured claims. Hence the writ, of error, which was granted by the su preme court upon the ground that it has appellant jurisdiction in insolvency, al though the errors committed by Judge Budd were not appealable, and that a writ of review wilt not reach errors The decision in this case will be awaited withgieat interest by the mercantile world of California. Blacker Evidence. San Francisco, Sept. 30. —The frauds recently discovered by customs house officials in tha shipments to the firm of Neuberger Reiss & Co., were made all the blacker yesterday when another consignment was opened. This consign ment consisted of four cases invoiced as "cotton goods." The firm refused to make entry for them at the customs house, and today they were ordered seized as unclaimed goods and opened. One of the cases was found properly in voiced, and was evidently meant to be pent to tbe appraiser's store for examin ation. To do this some attache of the customs house must be in collusion with the firm. The other cases contained ♦400 worth of woolen goods, silks, cassi meres, silk velvets, bengaline and black satin. They were shipped from Paris. Foreign Gold Regulations, Washington, Sept. 30 —The director of the mint, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury, lias issued in structions to the superintendent of the assay office at New York, in cases of de posits of foreign gold or bars, that such an approximation of their value, as in the discretion of the superin tendent may be regafded safe, not to exceed ninety per cent, of the value, be paid pending melt and assay. The purpose of this regulation is to encourage, as far as can be" legally done by the government, the importa tion "f foreign gold into the United States by allowing importers spot cash value for foreign gold as soon as received, in stead of r*quiring them to wait while the depopits-are being melted and tlie exact gold determined. — An Abandoned Bank. Paris, 111.. Sept. 30 —The Chrisman bank of ("hrisman has failed. It did not open Monday, butsuspicion was allayed hy a telegram from the senior partner of the firm, Alexander Handiford, saying he missed the train at Chicago, and would be here Tuesday.

Until the vaults can be opened, the full extent of the matter will not be known, bnt it is thought the liabilities will be $75,000 or $100,000, and the assets small. Successful Safe Blowers.

It was with what they call a languid grace that she took a seat iv a Twenty third street car yesterday, and there was some more languid grace about the way she took up room enough for two and be gan eating chocolates out of a half pound paper box. She had hair of gold, and two men who sat opposite seemed to give it much attention. '•Natural," whispered one. "Bleached," replied the other. "I know it's natural." "1 know it's bleached." The nearest person oh her right was a working woman with a baby nine or ten months old. The woman kept rocking the cbild on her shoulder and the child kept reaching ont a chubby hand to grasp the bright flowers on tbe languid girl's hat. The odds were even, but baby won. A rock with a little extra vigor to it en abled him to grasp a flower, aud as he was carried back the hat went with him. Not only that, bat a mass of golden hair as well, showing a close cropped head of dark hair which had been artfully concealed. "A wig, by thunderl" exclaimed both men in chorus as they rose up and rushed out, but it was doubtful if the languid girl heard them. She grabbed her hat in one hand and her hair in the other and fled out of the front door and ran into a store, and the conductor explained to a man on the platform: "By Georgel but it does seem to me that things on this route was getting more lively all the time."—New York World.
