Racing News.
Chicago, August The laws of the
State of Illinois forbid pool selling and
Letting on horse races within the lim
its of the State. The Norhwestern
Trotting Horse Breeders’ Association
is the strongest combination of owners
and breders of trotting stock in the
country. It has held meetings at which
pools were sold for a number of years
at Washington Park, this city, with
marked success. This year, in order to
finally and definitely put the question
of its ability to hold a successful series
of races without the usual pool selling
adjuncts to the test, it has arranged an
especially attractive programme in the
hope that the increased attendance will
make up the amount usually received
for the betting privileges. The chief
attraction of the meeting will be the
match between the celebrated pacing
kings, John R. Gentry and Joe Patehen
for a purse of $3,000. The race is set
for Thursday, August 22(1, and will be,
the management claims, the greatest
harness event of the year, as a bitter
rivalry for the sldewheel supremacy of
the country exists between the owners
of these diagonal livers. Gentry boat
Patehen two weeks ago at Freeport,
and if Patehen had not thrown a shoe
just before reaching the three-quarter
post, U> n QK'U ptnilL yauu 11* uuv
minute and thirty seconds, a two min
ute clip, there is no knowing where the
pacing record would stand to-day.
Patchen is an improved horse since that
race as is shown by his defeat of Rob
ert J., at Cleveland rnd Buffalo. The
latter horse is, by the record, the fast
est side-and-side goer in the world. On
the other hand, the friends of Patchen
claim that he is the fastest and garaest
pacer in the world, and that Gentry is
the only animal that can give him a
race at that gait. This claim is made
on the ground that Patchen will go a
heat just as well after being defeated
as though he had won the previous heat.
The entire meeting, which is scheduled
from August 17th to 24th, will provide,
the managers say, the best trotters ami
pacers of the season, and the various
events contain the stars of the light
harness brigade. It is the only race
meeting which will be held on the
famous and fashionable Washington
Park this year.

THE DURANT CASE.

Sun FrancUca.
San Francisco, August 15.—People
who live in the vicinity of Emanuel
church, w If ere the murders of Blanche
Lnrnont and Minnie Williams were
committed, are much mystified by the
fact that the police are again paying
mysterious visits to the church. Just
what this recent activity of the police at
the church means can only be conjec
tured, for the members of the depart
ment are close-mouthed as usuul. and
even deny that they have been to Eman
uel church more frequently of late than
any other period. Detective Cody, who ap
pears to be leading the van in this latest
descent upon the church, says he was
simply engaged in securing accurate
measurements of the building, to be
used as evidence during the trial.
The statement is made on good au
thority that the present movement on
the part of the police is to forestall all
evidence which will he offered by the
{defense, and upon which, it is said, Du
rant’s attorneys will make their firmest
stand and make their bitterest fight.
This evidence will be to establish. If
possible, that Durant was at work on
defective electric wires in the loft of
the church on the afternoon that
Blanche Lamont was slain, and that thu
. disheveled appearance which he pre
sented when seen shortly afterward by
Organist King was the result of being
overcome by gas, which had escaped
from the pipes and colected in the loft.
King made the statement that on that
afternoon he went into the Sunday
school room of the church to practice
some selections he was expected to ren
der when the next congregation should
assemble for worship. He thought he
was alone in the building. After re
maining there at the piano several min
utes, however, he was startled by some
one opening the door which led into the
room from the hallway to the church
auditorium. Turning, he beheld Du
rant, pale and apparently exhausted.
Upon being asked what ailed him. Du
rant said that while endeavoring to re
pair the electric wires he had been over
come by the escaped g*s. King told
this story and Durant, when questioned
regarding the matter, admitte^the gas
sory but declared that King had great
ly exaggerated the description of his
condition. _

Twenty-Five Hundred People on the
Fair Grounds, Yesterday,
To Witness the Contests Between
the Ohio and Pennsylvania Fire
men — Butler, Pa., Came Out
Ahead in the Hose Race — New
Philadelphia Had No Competi
tion for tho Hook and Ladder
Prize.
Yesterday was the second and final
day of the Northeastern Ohio Volunteer
Firemen’s Association tournament at
I Martin’s Ferry, and the only disap
pointments noticed was the small at
tendance at the races*which took place
on the Wheeling fair grounds. Every
thing else came up to the expectations,
and all excepting the defeated ones
seemed satisfied with the day’s pleas
ure.
The quietness which prevailed
throughout the town during the fore
noon would indicate to an outsider that
/ here was not much Interest being man
ifested in the races, 'but should he have
sc-en the crowds of Martin’s Ferry peo
ple wending their way to the fair
grounds as the time for the races ap
proached, he would have changed his
onind. It seemed as though all Martin’s
Ferry was on the grounds, and the fact
is the citizens of that place were more
•numerous than those of Wheeling, Bell
aire or Bridgeport.
In the neighborhood of 8,000 people
were expected' to witness the races, but
about 2,500 were all that put in an ap
pearance.
The first race—a one mile open bi
cycle race—was called at 2:30 o’clock.
There were fifteen entries for the race,
and twelve started and all finished.
When Starter Sadler gave the signal
/they all got off in good shape with Geo.
E. Helms, of Eteubenville, in the lead.
When thirty yards from the scratch W.
C. Kemple, of St. Ciairsvillo, and Max
Malbke, of Wheeling, collided. Neither
one was hurt n or were their wheels dam
aged and they remounted their wheels
and were off again, and caught the
others before the first half mile was
made. The race was a very slow one
until tho third quarter, when Kinkle,
of St. Clairsville, spurted off and the
rest followed and from that on it was
a very creditable race. First honors lay
between Helms and Clyde Quimby,
both of Steubenville, on the homo
stretch. Quimby was leading by a
couple of yards, but Helms closed up the
■ feet in tbe lend. First, Geo. Halms; ,
time, 3:20 1-3; prize, $25 gold watch. I
Se cond. Clide Quimby; prize, $10 biov- I
c!e outfit. Third, Arthur Foster, Wheel-1
Ing; prize. $5 pair of shoes.
This was followed by the hook and
ladder race. There were four entries
and only one started, and that was the
New Philadelphia company. Having
no opposition they gave an exhibition
run of thirty rods and sent a man to
rite tep of a thirty-foot ladder. Time,
32 1-5 seconds; prize, $100.
This was followed by the ladder
climbing contest by W. A. Rogers, of
Martin’s Ferry, and - Seibot, of
i New Philadelphia. The requirements
were that each start ten yards from a 30
foot ladder and run up it and touch tin
top rung with hand. Seibot won. Time,
8 1-5 seconds; Rodgers. 8 4-5 seconds.
The one-mile handicap bicycle race
came next. There were fifteen entrlt s
and twelve starters. The handicap
ranged from 15 to 100 yards. Helms, of
Steubenville, was the only scratch man,
C. E. Garvin, of Wheeling, was the only
one who got 100 yards handicap. The
race was a hard fought one up to the
home stretch, where Helms and Quim
by again showed their superior riding!
qualities and spurted away from the]
others. Heims finished first, Quimby
UHU ailu VM U. ruaier UHrii. JIPIITIS
time was 2:23 3-5. The prizes were a
125 watch, $10 rocking chair and a $5
umbrella respectively.
The hose race, the most important
one of the day, was noxt on the pro
gramme, and more interest was mani
fested in it than any of the other races.
The race was not a hub to hub one, ami
not much excitement was displayed by
the crowd.
The Deluge team, of Salem, Ohio,
were the first to run, and as they mado
their appearance on the track they wer;«
greeted with cheers, as were the other
companies when the made their appear
ance. The requirements of the race was I
that each team should run 231 2-3 yards, i
lay 200 feet of hose and make nozzle at
tachments.
It was 4:30 o’clock when starter J. W.
Darrah gave the signal. As the flag
went down the third time the boys got
off in fine shape and came down the
track at a winning gate, but as the hosef
was being pulled from the cart their
speed slackened. An excellent coupling
was made, however, and as they called
for time the watches of timers, E. D.1
Lash and Wm. Lukens showed 32 2-3
seconds, which caused much cheering
when announced.
The Butler, Pa., team were the next
to try for the $150 prize, and they won
it in great shape.
As their company put in their ap
pearance on the track it was decided
alien and there that they were the win- ^
ners. The entire company, consisting
of twenty-one men, were all well bniIt. I
clean-limbed athletic-looking young
men. They made the prettiest and best
run of the day. Their time was 30 2-5
j seconds. Coshocton followed and made
almflst as good a run. but owing to the
I hose couplings getting mashed and
| they being unable to make nozzle con
! ncctions they were given no place in
the race. Had it not been for this mis
hap they probably would have come
second.
The Independent team, of Salem, then
! put in their appearance for the purpose
; of seeing what they could do towards
I getting that $150 prize. They did not
I come up to expectations, as they made
a very slow run and fumbled on the I
nozzle coupling, and were given no ,
time.
The Toronto team followed, making |
a very pretty run and a fair coupling j
but were not fast enough. Their time
was 33 2-5 seconds. The Independent
hose company was the last on the pro
gramme, and they made the slowest
run of the day, but worn n • slven ant
place owing to a little 7,ilv thl>v
had concerning their entry.
In all the races were ,-y good, and
everybody seemed sa:!>, outside of
the defeated ones, and oven some of
them seem satisfied.
There was a hundred vard foot race
between Henry’ Bartholomew and John
Entrican, of Salem. Th- • ,rn r won
the race by a few feet. Th races be
ing over, the prizes w r . lrded as
follows:
Butler, Pa., hose company first prize,
$150. Deluge Company, • s.. :u soc^
ond prize, $100.
Now if the Independent Hose Com
pany, of Martin’s Ferry, want to win
back the honors the Butler, P:t.. team
carried away with them, • . >• will havi
to challenge them for a ra •. Many ol
the firemen returned horn.* last . veiling
over the C. & P. road, and :ho remain
der of them will leave this morning.
