NEW YORK, Sept. 29 When the fourth race at Gravesend to-day had been run the crowd stood aghast.

The great Ben Brush, who could beat anybody's horse a few days ago and was in the pink of condition then, had his colors lowered by a 2-year-old and a lame one at that, and one that had not shown much of anything in his last race. So, with the odds of 2 to 7 against Ben Brush, it was not surprising that forty to one could be got against Plaudit. Plaudit and Alice Grey made the running to the upper turn, when Dr. Catlett joined Plaudit and Alice Grey fell back to the rear. Then the two raced head-and-head into the stretch and down to the finish, Brush squeezed in between them.

Plaudit winning by a head, with Ben Brush a head in front of Dr. Catlett. Hastings was the favorite for the third race with Flying Dutchman second choice. The latter took the lead at the fall of the flag, and managed to last long enough to withstand the rush of Hastings, Peat and Octagon in the stretch, the -quartet finishing so close together that a blanket could have covered them at the end.

Nearly thirty-thousand people to-day visited the Inter-State Fair and witnessed races of a high class. The day was not marred by accident. About half the visitors were from out-of-town, the Pennsylvania alone bringing more than SlKJO people to the grounds.

Two exciting' heats were required to decide the unfinished 2.40 trotting race of yesterday. To-day's first heat was won easily by Annelis Pedler and she John I. Mnirheid, Secretary Interstate Fair. had the next heat well in hand when a flying scrap of naper caused her to break. Arbitrator, winner of the two heats yesterday.then went to the front and won easily.

Marion Mills, the driverless pacer, went a mile in 2.11Va and would have done better had she not hesitated about going the second lap of the track. To-morrow is Governor's Day and a great throng of people is expected. Governor Griggs has promised to be here and special arrangements have been made to entertain distinguished guests. The track events will be the 2.20 trotting class, purse, $x000; the 2.11 pacing class, purse, $700, and the 2.21) trotting class, purse, $500.

73. eiy ENCOUNTER A TARTAR in Washington and Jefferson "They; 'Meet a Team That Can and Dos Score. FINAL TALLY 18 TO 4 Frnn Won, of Con rue, Bnt I Kept Her Busy, nud Site Wnm Often Driven Around the Field. Even in that surest of "sure thing" games, our popular pedalian pastime, football, the unexpected may occur and so it-was yesterday when Pennsylvania played the Washington and Jefferson College team, of Washington, on Franklin Field. Ere the game started many were condemning the schedule makers for arranging games with such "bum" teams, as they did the 'Varsity r.o good.

Now they are loud in thtir praises of the visitors and wish a few more games could be arrange! with (earns of calibre. It afforded excellent practice for the Quakers. The visitors -were strong enough to thoroughly show up the wealc points of the home" team and to make them extend themselves to win and these are the kind "of games we need and must have if we are to win the big matches later on. -The-spectators were quickly undeceived when a small army of lusty fellows in black and red came running "upon the field, led by' a diminutive darky bedecked with red stripes around his limbs and body, with red ribbons in his wool and stripes of rouge upon his swarthy cheeks. He was a typical color-bearer, this pickaninny mascot.

As to the weight of these invading warriors we cannot say, not having our scales with us. De manager said with chest thrown mit that they averaged 1SS pound the captain said 170. Then Coac. the ex-Princeton tackle, called tl.em both down and said No matter about the figure they were beefy and as strong as the Quakers. With their Princeton coach they played Princeton game.

They used the revolving mass or wedge and used it well. Often the Quakers cpuld not stop it until big gains had been made and once it scored -a- well-earned touchdown. It was good practice for the Quakers; just what they need. In this play Matthews, the full-back, a half-breed Indian, was the main, gainer. He was very hard to stop.

He 'was well seconded by Coach Wood and Phillips. WERE NOT BASHFUL. Nor did the visitors seem one bit abashed at facing the long-conquering Quakers. They went right at them and the use of the fists was not altogether absent. mis, as a gouu ir the Quakers.

It will teach them to be real meek Quakers and to keep their fists where they belong, that is in the play. Bovle was about the only one detected yesterday as possessed of a disposition to be rude. As to the Quakers' play, it is hard to make an estimate. At first it was sluggish and loose, then there were spasmodic bits of good work interspersed with that which, was indifferent and then they wound up' with a series of real business-like dashes for a touchdown. While Weeks was at quarter there was some fumbling, but this vanished when Fortescue took charge of the ball.

On the whole the defense seemed weaker than the offense, although the latter was nothing to gloat over. Considering that It was a warm day and that the boys met a team whose strength surprised them, there is no reason to be discouraged. The score was 18 to 4 in our favor and might have been more had Jackson not overtaken Matthews from behind when he had passed the line and. had an. open field with but a score of yards between him and the Quaker goal.

Jack-eon, by the way, was very noticeable yesterday for tackling. Minds and Morice made most of the long runs andMcCrack-n and -De Silver frequently bucked the centre effectively. The first half ended 6-0, and the second yielded 12-4. ENGLISHMEN CONDEMN. "As to the game itself, it was not a thing of beauty.

American college football as played to-day can seldom appeal to those who love the spectacular. Twenty-two big fellows piled in one indiscriminate mass is not a thing to dote upon. Naturally, then, Messrs. Jessop and Marriott, of the English cricket team, who were present and eagerly enticipated some rare sport, departed disgusted and voted American football no go.od. They were the guests of Mr.

George of the Germantown Cricket Club, and that expert devotee did all in his power to show them points of merit, but they could not see it and we can hardly biaone them. -They voted the men as the least ath-letie rooking lot they ever saw and said-there was not a real, live" athlete upon the field. They were a lot of big, soft There was no kicking to compare with theirs either in, quantity or quality and they did not see any sport in pushing and shoving and piling up in a heap. The double pass was all right, but there were not enough of them and the game lacked strategic plays. THE KICK-OFF.

W. and J. won the toss and took the kick-JOff. Penn had the west goal. There was no wind.

Play started at 3.47 and it was not until 4.19, or until the.ln.If was almost over, that the Quakers After several kicks the bucked the centre for good gains, but a fumble gave Penn the ball on W. ana 35-yard line. No gains and Wood blocked Minds' punt, but-Weeks recovered the ball and was thrown by Wood on Penn's 40-yard line. The ball changed harids repeatedly on fumbles and fourth downs, there being no features but the visitors' plunges into the line. Neither goal was menaced, however.

Morice punted and Boyle and Hedges threw Matthews on his 25-yard line. Several gains through -the centre were followed by Phillips getting between Boyle and Carnett for a 35-yard gain, Minds rrtrtnirrs- trim nut -of bounds at-Penn's 45-yar line. Morice -soon kicked to W. aiiu 125-yard line and then the visitors wedges advanced the ball 15 yards, where it was lost on downs. With the balFon W.

and 35-yard line a double pass" 'Weeks to Boyle to Mind3, enabled Penn's captain to skirt his opponents right" end and after a pretty run score a touchdown, the only really bit of good work in this half. Minds kicked the goal. Score, 6-0. The half ended a moment later. TUB SECOND HALF.

At 4 39 the second half started. Matthews returned the kick-off and Minds p-as- thrown. In- mid-lield by Phillips. Then a series of good plunges uy McCracken and DeSilver carried the ball to W. and 30-yard line, when Morice, by Boyle and Minds, prettily skirted his opponents' right end for a thirty yard run and a touchdown.

Goal. 12-0. DeSilver caught the kick-off and was thrown after a ten yard run by Wood. Morice kicked to W. and 40-yard line and Matthews made a free catch, but the ball was ordered back, Boyle having been off side.

On the third down Matthews-got bet ween Hedges and Out-land and then through Minds, and had a clear field. Jackson caught him from behind and saved a touchdown, after twen-ty-five yards had been gained. A moment later" Fortescue was -substituted for Weeks by Ooaoh 'Woodruff and thtn began a most successful series Of revolving wedges by -the visitors. Steadily they gained. They would not be denied.

Kearer -and nearer went the ball and at last Matthews got it over the line Cor the coveted touchdown, which the visitors before the game startedhad of- fered" to bet they would make. Matthews failed to kicked the goaL 12-4. Crooks ran the kick-off out to his 20-yard line, and on the 25-yard line Penn got the ball on downs. Then commenced Penn's second really good consecutive playing of the day. Plunges by McCracken, De Silver, Jackson and Morice enabled Minds to at last get over the line for the touchdown.

He. Thinks Represents the Enlightened Sentiment of the People of the State. ITS EFFECT ON RACING A Likelihood That the Xext Legislature Will PaTorably Consider a Bill Permitting of Restricted Ronning Meetings. When seen at his home, 2205 North Thirteenth street, yesterday afternoon, Thomas Flynn, ex-Speaker of the New Jersey Legislature, who has long been closely asrociated with William J. Thompson, the owner of the Gloucester race track, spoke freely and at some length concerning the recent constitutional election in that State and discussed the probable plans of the New Jersey jockey clubs, by means of which they hope to secure the passage of a bill to permit restricted racing.

Mr. Flynn has been the starter at the Gloucester race track for a number of years and during the past few weeks conducted the campaign against the proposed amendments to the New Jersey State constitution. In speaking of the recent victory of the racing men he said: "It was no fight at all. From the start it was easy to see that the amendments would never be approved by the people of New Jersey that is, It was patent to every one except those who were trying to force the matter. The ministers who sat at home and talked about it or stood in their pulpits and preached about it, but never went near the polls on election day, were sadly disappointed when the result of their labors was made known to them.

There were many people of their own class who "were strongly opposed to the passing of the proposed amendments on the ground that they would be unconstitutional and savored too much of the old blue State laws. In deed I met many active and prominent Christian people throughout the State who volunteered me the information that they would oppose the adoption of the amendments on those grounds. The feeling on the side of the church people was so light that after a thorough canvass of the State I decided that it would be necessary to have but very few i workers in the field, either on or before election day. The polls were the only places where we did any work at all. And that was only because of the am biguous reading of the ballot.

It was of such a nature that an ignorant voter would be in considerable doubt as to how he should cast his vote. The only explanations on the ballot were as1 follows: 1 or all propositions on this ballot -which are not cancelled with ink or pencil and against all w-hich are so The words had a very uncertain sound to the ordinary reader. It was for the purpose of explaining this ballot to the voters and for instructing those who wished to vote with us how to do so that we hired a few men and paid them to stand at the polls and perform this duty. They were given $3 each for this work and instructed not to spend a cent with the voters, but merely to answer any questions that might be asked them. We did not spend over $3000 in the entire campaign.

"The effort to pass this constitutional amendment has completely proven that the people of the State of New Jersey are not opposed to racing. The clergy and those siding with them wanted an expression Of opinion on this matter and it'Jias' been given them." I "What do you think will be the action next taken, by the New Jersey raeing men concerning the old State law pro hibiting racing In New Jersey?" asked the reporter. "It is my opinion," was the answer, "that in the near future a bill limiting racing and placing it under proper re strictions will be asked for." "Will it be successful?" "Without a doubt." was the answer. STRAIGHT HEATS Dan Cupid Easily Captures the $SOOO Stallion Stakes. READVILLE.

Sept. 29. Four thousand people saw the racing at the Breeders' meeting at Readville Park today. The Puritan stake, the choicest nut of the meeting, was expected to be a red hot contest, but it did not prove so. Dan Cupid won three heats with speed to spare in each, although it.

was a pretty race to watch, the horses being well bunched throughout. The other two events were uninteresting, being easily won in straight heats. Summary: Foals of 1804 Pacing: purse. $100rt. Patchen Boy.

PHILLIES LOSE, AS USUAL Get Tangled Ip in the Field in the First Two Innings, When Giants Proceed to Pnt the Game on Ice. Both Boston and Baltimore won yesterday, and consequently their relative standing remains the same. The Senators played good ball against the Champions, but they could not overcome tne handicap of McJames' wildness. The Bostonians won in rather impressive style, outbatting the Brooklynites three to one. 3 In computing the possible effecta upon the standing of the leaders by the results of the games yet to be played, The Inquirer yesterday made a most exasperating mistake when it declared that Boston could win the pennant even if it dropped one game to Brooklyn and Baltimore won all four games from Washington.

The Intelligent statistician got his lamps on the wrong column of the dope book; hence the blunder. The Phillies went over to New York yesterday, and though they outbatted the Giants they were easy picking, owing to their miserable field work in the first two innings. The scores of yesterday's games follow: New York, Philadelphia, 1. Boston, 12; Brooklyn, 4. Baltimore.

Sept. 29. The Bostons and Brooklyns began a series of three games at Eastern Park this afternoon, on which much depends for both teams. Winning all the games will give the Bostons the championship, no matter what Baltimore does. A majority of the games for Brooklyn means a cinch on the only place still left in the first division sixth.

The management had managed to handle a large crowd, but the cranks failed to materialize, and when the game began only about 3600 persons were present. It was Kennedy, against Lewis, and for six Innings it was nip and tuck. Lewis having a shade the better of the argument. In the seventh inning Kennedy took a ride in the "air ship." and before he came back to earth he was hit for one three-bagger, four singles and a sacrifice, which brought in four runs. This was more than Captain Griffin would stand, and so he called on Payne In the eighth inning.

He looked like Kennedy to Boston, and three more runs were the result, thus clinching the victory. After the third inning Lewis had the home team completely at his mercy. The support given the youngster bordered on the phenomenal. Duffy took a ball off the left field fence. and was loudly cheered, for it was a grand piece of work.

Stahl caught Shoch's foul fly from off the top of the picket fence in the sixth. Long and Lowe seemed to be all over the field. The Boston rooters had a section all to themselves in the grand stand. There were not over seventy-five of them but what they lacked in numbfrs they -maffe ut In had many friendly tilt with the local much to the amusement of others present. The score -BROOKLYN.

Errors in the first inning, and clean batting in the second gave the New Torks a lead which the Phillies could not overcome. Although they hit the ball more frequently than did the Giants, the Phillies only run a omer by Clements. With a lead of six runs, Rusie retired at the end of the seventh and "SI" Sevmour went on the slab. He succeeded in striking out five men and being hit but once, purely a git affair, bv Taylor.

Nops. while hit for double figures, was verv effective in tight places, whereas Mc.Tames' six passes to first, two hit batsmen and a wild pitch helped the Orioles to victory.

20. The play in practice to-day was on rather a better order than that which has been put up during the early part of the week. Quickness of play and fast running were the features of the work, but there was quite a little fumbling to mar the practice. The backs played a much snappier game and found little difficulty in ploughing through the scrub line. Princeton' h'as already begun to have hard luck with her auarter-backs.

Yesterday Burke twisted his knee, and today Arthur Poe was laid up in the same manner, but it is to be hoped that a week wili set them both straight. Palmer-and Kosengarten, the two quarters left, put up a good game to-day and showed much improvement. Paird will soon be1 out and will do regular work, so the loss of two good quarter-backs will not be so seriously felt. Two short halves were played to-day, in which the 'Varsity scored three thouchdowns and goals. The defensive work by the 'Varsity was very encouraging, and if their offensive work can be brought up to the standard of their de fense, certainly Princeton need not fear having a weak ejeven to represent her.

The 'Varsity lined up to-day as follows: Right end, Lathrop, right tackle, Hillebrand; right guard, Dickey; centre, Booth; left guard, Edwards; left tackle. Holt; left end, Craipr; quarterback, Poe, Palmer, Rosengarten; right half-back, Kelley, Keiter; left half-buck, Bannard, Reiter; full-back, Wheeler. The following men have been ordered to the 'Varsity training table: Bannard, Kelley, Reiter, Baird, Ayres. Wheeler, Palmer, Poe, Armstrong, Crowdis, Hillebrand. Holt, Latiirop, Craig and Cochran.

The scrub training table will start at noon to-morrow, with the following men- Burke, Haywood, Black, Potter, Oglesby, Schwartz, Suter, Dickey, Knight, Sansom, Watkins. Al len, Bannard, ireckenriage, Crane, Coyle, Dal ton, Donaldson, Geer, Gardner, G. Lathrop, Mitchell, Nicely, Reid. Rosengarten, Ripley, Rand, Sharp, Stewart and Lloyd, "JS. HARVARD'S PRACTICE The 'Varsity Plays Well, Bnt Is ITp Against Something; Easy.

Special to The Inquirer. CAMBRIDGE, Sept. 20. The third line up of the week occurred on Soldiers' Field this afternoon, but this does not signify that Trainer Lathrop's idea of having only two or three line-ups a week has been given up. The fact is that yesterday the 'Varsity make-up was com posed of substitutes for the most part ana tne varsity men were given special drill by the corps of coaches.

The play to-day consisted of two fifteen-minute halves, which were snappy in every sense of the word. The second eleven was nearer a third eleven. None of the 'Varsity were on it and men who had not been tried before were given a chance to win their spurs. The scrub line was lamentably weak. On the other hand the beefy "Varsity linesmen slashed room enough in the Scrub line for their backs to promenade through.

The 'Varsity scored twice. The old football men who were out today assisting on and off in the coaching included, W. H. Lewis, George Gray, "Joe" Hallowell, George Adams, ex-Captain Bob Emmons, Guy Murchie. "Josh" Crane, "Slugger" Mason and Johnny Dunlop.

YALE GETS BUT TEN Still She Plays Well in Short Game With. Trinity. Special to The Inquirer. HARTFORD. Sept.

29. Tale played her first football eame of the season with Trintty this afternoon, and won bv a score of 10 points to Trinity's 0. but Trinity at no time gave the Yale men any serious trouble-Acting Captain Benjamin scored Yale's first touchdown in a little over two minutes after play began. Four minutes later Hine scored a gain for Yale. Yale's play showed Rood dash and considerable cleverness.

Trinity scarcely got the ball into Yale's territory at all. and hardly earned any ground during the game. Lang-ford, the umpire, seemed to favor Trinity in his decisions, and so helped the Hartford bovs to keep Yale's score down. Yale's playing was strong. consiaenng now little practice her men have had.

Benjamin and Chadwick played their positions with dash and showed good form. The teams lined up as follows: Yale. Positions. Trinity. Schweppe (Walker) Left end Ellis Marshall Left tackle Chadwick Left guard JBacon Cutten Centre Lord Sheldon (McGee).

Freshmen Athletics in Tigrertown. PRINCETON, Sept. 29 (Special). The candidates for the 1901 base ball team have been reduced to twenty-four men. Over forty men reported yesterday, which is unusually large for the fall case ball season, and speaks well for the athletic ability of the class.

There are strong candidates for every position except pitcher. About thirty-five candidates reported to-day for the freshmen football team. The material for the back field seems of a first-class quality, but there is a woeful deficiency of big men for the line. The most promising of the men who reported seem to be: Mattis, tackle of last year's Lawrenceville team; Seymore, from De Lancey School, Philadelphia; Homans, Cousin of the famous "Shep" Homans, from Cutler School, New York; Brarly, from California; Cooke, a Philadeiphian, and Vredenburgh both from St. Paul's School, Concord, N.

It is probable, however, that Adams, of Pennsylvania, will be one of the officials. Football at Haverford. HAVERFORD. Sept. 29 (Special).

OUR TEAM CHANGED Morton to Play in the Haverford Match Instead of Bohlen. At the last moment Mr. F. H. Bohlen has found it impossible to play on the Philadelphia eleven against the Englishmen on the Merion grounds at Haverford on Friday, Saturday and Monday next.

J. E. Cope Morton, member of the Merion Club, has been substituted. Morton is a slow left-handed bowler of good ability and will strengthen the team very ma- teriauy in tne Downng line. iis excellent bowling and his good second innings for the Colts against the Englishmen, at Manhelm, is still fresh in our memories.

This makes the team stand; Merion, Germantown, 3 and Belmont, 3. Merlon's men are: Bally, Lester, Scat-tergood, Morton and Thayer and, as this club is particularly loyal to its players, we find another reason for the large advance sale of seats. Thousands of nonpartisans are also deeply interested and naturally they shoud be, for the match promises to be the closest and most interesting international cricket contest we have ever had in this city. The GentlemA of Philadelphia put in a good afternoon of practice in the nets at Merion yesterday. They appreciate the task before them and are working hard to be fit.

Captain Warner and his players will be back irom Niagara about 11 o'clock tonight. They will return to the Stenton and Friday evening will go to Devon Inn, where they will remain during the rest of the match. STRONG AND JOHNSON To Go Fifteen Ronnds at Athens Kext Tuesday Night. A fifteen-round contest has been arranged between Charles Strong, of Newark, and Walter Johnson, of this city, as the feature of the ninth professional boxing show of the Olympic Athletic Club, at Athens, next Tuesday night. Strong is an aspirant for heavyweight honors, having defeated all the best men in the vicinity of New York, and Joseph Butler, of this city, the latter in short order.

Johnson has not been decisively beaten since he entered the ring, and has victories over Steven O'Donnell and Patrick F. Slavin to his credit. The winner of the bout will irkely be pitted against Peter Maher, at one of the New York clubs. In the preliminary contests Daniel Mc-Connell, of Camden, and Alfred O'Brien, of this city, and Frank Bradley and Ellwood McCIoskey will meet in ten-round bouts. Tickets have been placed on sale at 1119 Chestnut street and Special trains will leave Broad Street Station at 7-45 and 8.15 o'clock, running direct to the club house door, while the trolley cars from Sixty-third and Market streets land passengers at the club property.

The McCloskey-Bradley contest will begin on th arrival of the first train, and In the event of the principals not being on hand a substitute contest will be ready to be decided. That Terribl Scourge.
