The visit ors. Including Anson, who usually behaves well In khat regard, were the chief offend ers, butt the local learn were Dy no means blameless. Anson was so Insulting that Emslle krdered him out of the gam aftt-r fining him $25.

iren then It needed the threajt expulsion from the grounds to make th old man Keep quiet. It was' at the conclusion of the eighth inn- Ing, wh the visitors scored the two runs which pt-oved be the winning ones, that the troiKila began. It was getting dark, and after tbte Giants had been retired, Anson made a vigorous protest against continuing. Emslle took out his. watch and threatened forfdit the game unless the Chicagos played pall.

Lange went to the bat and made a I base hit. Anson followed, and for no apparent reason began to abuse the umpire, anld was ordered to the bench. This startled I the sitors. They had only nine uniformed men on the field, and the loss of their Captain was a severe blow Pijtchtr Friend, who was at the gate, was sent for. Emslle allowed one minute for the teasi to find a batter, and when none appta: 11 he declared the player who was to have i.l.in Anson's place out.

Lar.ge, in the meiliitlme. was put out, trying to reach second. I Anson lost his temper completely and did not cease his abuse until Emslio threatened to put him off the grounds. Then tile game was continued. The visit ors maJe three runs, but they were stricken from the score, because when the New Yorks look their turn at the bat In the ninth iauing It was too.

SIR WALTER GAME AS EVER Favorites Won Four of the Event on the Card Ben Brush Missed His Old Jockey, Sims, Suspended Saturday. Up to yesterday, the racing associations. with the exception of Brighton Beach and Aqueduct, excluded Monday from their rac ing programmes, considering it the worst day in the week to attract a fair-sized at tendance.

The experiment of racing on Monday was made yesterday at Sheepshead Bay. but If the opening work-day of the week has any lessening effect on the racing attendance, the size of the crowd did not show it. The programme included the Sapphire Stakes for two-year-olds and the Reapers Stakes for three-year-olds, and was on the whole productive of excellent rac ing. The two-year-old stakes was an easy one for The Huguenot, who rated along well In hand throughout the early stages of the sprint, and then drew out at the end, win ning easily by a length from Lucky Baldwin's colt, San Venado. The Huguenot, by-the-by, is a wonderfully Improved and runs now more like a full brother to that great race horse, Henry of Navarre, than he did early in the season.

He was one of the most highly tried youngsters of the Spring, and this' fact, coupled with his relationship to the Conqueror of Domino, made him a great favorite in some of his early races. His- performances were so poor that his kinship to Navarre was doubted by some, but the easy manner In which he has defeated fair two-year-olds recently stamps him as a really good colt, and one that may develop some of the Qualities which brought fame and fortune to the owner of his gallant brother. On Deck was scratched from the Reapers Stakes, and Matt Byrnes wanted to scratch Scottish Chieftain when he learned that the stable Jockey. Taral. could not ride be cause of his suspension on Saturday.

The winner's share of the $2,000 nurse went James Galway's Imperator, but the victory was a scan 1 one, ana naa tne race been ten yards further Lady Mitchell would have won. Lots of Western money was burned up on Orlmar. who was played for a cood thing by his owner. W. H.

Uudemun and a party of his Western friends, but the best he could do was to act as whipper-in for the other five starters. Imperator, the favorite, went to the front at the Rtart and showed the way, three lengths In advance. an tnrougn the back stretch. Then Lady Mitchell came after him. and in the stretch got up so fast that she was beaten in the drive only by a ihe tirth race, a handicap, at a mile, might have been credited to M.

Game old Sir Walter. as game and true yesterday as at any other nine in nis long unci eventrul career, won, but it was only after a heartbreaking drive from the head of the stretch to the wire that he landed it by a head from Free Advice. Ben Brush was miserably handled by Hewett, who got him into half a dozen pockets during the race.

He finished third, after a fast clip through the stretch, when he once got out of the entanglement- The sixth race was won In clever fashion by the favorite. Sun I'p.

Declare, one of P. J. Dwyer's most use ful horses, waa shot on Sunday at the farm of his trainer, John Hynes, near Hartford, Conn. He had a number of hard races early In the season, and was sent to the farm to rest He picked up a few pieces of gravel In a hoof that had often both ered him, and as the Inflammation grew his suffering became intense, and Mr. Dwyer decided to end his misery with a bullet.

Uf-clare was a brother to the famous nuy II eel are, whose owner, Henry. Wamke, the flag man on the Coney Island Itallroad crossing, grew wealthy by her speed. Pe-elaro was by Ptrutford-Ciare. and was six years old. Ha was one of the highly trained two-year-olds of Domino's year, but was raced so frequently as a two-year-old that his chance of development were practically ruined.

He was a good horse and a ame one, though, and during his racing career defeated many good horses. Kamoncita, Mrs. T. Ki ley's bay filly, cut up Ilka a wild horse at the post In the first race and when thflag went down for a start, she re" red. and threw, her Jockey, W.

Meaney. The filly was uninjured, while the boy suffered from a shaking up and several painful bruUea. It is probable tnat a match race at a mile and a half between the Western crack Ornament. Th Krlsr. and one or two other crack three-year-olds will be arranged.

Overtures for such a rare have been mad, at an entry, and there la little doubt that the race will take place If the club offers a suitable purse. Such a race would prove an attractive event to the holiday crowd, for the question of supremacy In the three-vear-old division Is a vexatious one. The Westerners say Ornament Is Invincible, and that Typhoon II. rank next to him. Eastern men, however, pin their faith to The eTlar.

if The Friar does not have an attack of nervousness, and he rarely does when anything like a fair-sized purse- Is in sight, he should put up a grand race. RACING IN HARNESS. Rradlta of Trottlaor siad Facias; Contests on. Virion Tracks Yesterday. At Hartford, Conn.
