The following handicap figures show the relatire merits at the distance and weights of the horses that are thought to hare a winning chance In today's races. The Jockeys ramed rode In the race from which the figures were prepared. A revised Jockey list will be given every Monday; 0 being the best nark and 15 the lowest. The difference in Ability between the handicap -Jockey and today's Jockey should be subtracted from the v.nrfio ir in fafnr of today's locker, and added If against him.

Oalrase Dr. Riddle Stlra Haasiasie Society ta Art ioat. NEW TORK. Mar 25. Th Rnoiat k.

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals sent an gent to Morris Park last week. And there'll be one there every day. This agent was welcome because be was Instructed to learn the exset facts about Dr. Kiddle, the horse that was doped and went mad and died last week. Tbe agent of the society founded by that true lover cf horses, Henry Bergh.

presented his credentials to F. R. Hitchcock, steward of the Jockey club and of tbe YVescbester meeting, and to Paddock Judge Hall. These racial- gave the S. P.

C. A. man all the points in regard to the practice ot 'doping," and introduced him to the veterinary who examined Dr. Riddle. Tbe society intends to have A representative visit the trscks ever day.

Where tbe evidence of such cruelty Is clearly established the society will arrest those responsible for the outrage. The society will have the hearty co-operation of the racing officials is) their humane efforts to stamp out the evil. It looks, however, ss though the society could better serve the purpose by assigning the tack to a trained veterinary surgeon. Instead of to one who has merely done patrol duty. UlUsaara Wlas m.

NEW TORK, Jit 15. F. R. Hitchcock's Sergeant, a by Inspector Blossom, won the Van Cortlandt handicap at seven furlongs on tbe Withers course at Morris Park today in surprising fashion. He had a big pull at the welghta, receiving seventeen pounds from both Lu Casta and.

Rosettnt, and was ridden by Henderson, wno won the firtt race o( hla career on a good Sergeant ruled second choice on equal terms with New York at 18 to S. with Rosetint favorite at threes and Lux Casta receding to Uvea. At tbe post Rocetlnt kicked up the urual fuss, her saddle finally slipping Just as the barrier was. released, certainly hampered her in the race. Bon Mot, backed down to 8 to 1, and Highlander were left standing still at the -getaway.

Bullmaa took New York to. the front, racing neck and neck with Rosetint to the top of tbe strech. There it was that Henderson moved up from tbe rear with Sergeant, who quickly assumed tbe lead opposite the field. Lux Casta, too, came from behind with great courage, and under the whip she gradually overhauled Sergeant, but the was too much for her and Sergeant, ridden out. was victorious by two lengths in a new record for the race and a half a second slower than Chucktanunda'8 track record.

Rosetint was eased up in the stretch, when Burns raw that he had no chance to get in the money. Zoroaster by a Head. The finish 1n the 1.200 handicap at a mile and a sixteenth over the hill was the most exciting of the afternoon. Alex Shields' entry, Zoroaster and Young Henry. were coupled favorites at It to 10.

There was heavy play about R. T. Wilson. Mexican, who was backed down from five to threes. R.

H. Mc-Carter Potter'a crack 3-year-old. The Carmelite, was also on tbe tip of tbe tongue, catching a lot of money at fives. Reaching the top of the hill The Carmelite opened up a big gap, and rushed down the long stretch with a commanding lead. Fuller put up a great ride on Zoroaster, the latter overhauling The Carmelite at the last fur-lotg pcle.

Then tbey raced together, stride for stride, right up to the wire, where Zoroaster got the verdict by a short head lo 1:47, The: Carmelite taking second money by a length and a half from E. Maiden's City Bank, who cloyed strongly from a rear position, and beat Dr. Saylcr a length. Mexican, who gave away weight to all the others, was bumped in the early stages, and stopped coming down the hlLL Carrier Plseoa' Wlaa. 1 Carrier Pigeon, second choice, won the steeplechase at about two miles after a long struggle with "-Tankard and May Harrison, the favorjte.

He drew away from the Utter off the flat and won cleverly by three lengths in Harrison was. four lengths before Tsnkard. Tireless threw Haydeo at the Liverpool and 'the latter received an ugly cut on the back of the head from flying hoof. by Mr. Harris, refused the first obstacle in tbe back' stretch.

Agnes backed from. sevens down to fours, won the fifth race for platers at seven and a half furlonga on the Withers course after it looked to be a hopeless task for her at the Eclipse crossing. She was trailing along In the ruck there, but Haack went to work with a will and finding an opening in the middle -of the stretch he got the mare through with a tremendous spurt. 1 Under the -whip Agnes I). got up In time to take the race by a head from Torchlight, the favorite, who was three parts of a length in front of Ella Snyder, second choice.

The Reliance, built by Herreshoff Bros, for the express purpose ef defending the America's cup against Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock III. although she has already defeated Columbia and Constitution in tbe informal trials, may not dls pose of tbe other aspirants for tbe honor In the finals which will begin June 17. Before being chosen to race against the English boat the Reliance will hare to prove her superiority over the Columbia, which twice successfully defended the precious trophy, and) the Constitution, which gave the Columbia such a close call for the honor two years ago. To settle this much-mooted question the managing owners of the Reliance, Columbia, and Constitution have arranged for a series of races outside to determine which boat shall be pitted against the new challenger. It Is generally conceded now that the Constitution's failure two years ago waa due to her sails, and not to the model ot the hull, and In no respect was she more defective above deck than In the swlcg of the gaff.

In designing the sails of the Reliance Herreshoff has plainly kept tbe Constitution's detect of two years ago In mind, and has entirely avoided it In the new boat. Rellaare Points Higher. With the peak of her mainsail well inboard tbe Reliance should point at least half a point higher than either ef the eld defenders and still retain ber speed.

before tbe Douglas Amusement Athletic club of Douglas, on July 5. i The details of the articles of agreement from Matchmaker Barry McCoy of the club arrived In this city yesterday, and, with a few alterations, were accepted 'by Managers Andrew Craig and Louis M. Houseman for Gardner and Root. As soon as the forfeits are. posted Gardner will leave for El Paso.

Texas, and Root will go to Douglas, where- the men will train for the The match, which is Just now the most Important event in pugilistie circles, and will no doubt attract the undivided attention of the sporting world. Special trains will be run to the ringside from all parts of the country. The fight will rank on equal terms with a heavyweight championship fight, and will be the first finish fight since Corbett and Fltzsim-mons fought their memorable fight la Carson City. Nevada. Root and Gardner have met twice.

The first fight In San Francisco was won by Root in seven rounds-, and In the return match in Salt Lake City Gardner proved the victor in seventeen rounds. Root in that contest broke his hand In the early part of the fight, but be continued gamely until bis manager finally skied the towel in token of defeat. The men have been bitter rivals for the title of light heavy-weight champion ever since, and, while apparently good friends when they meet on the street. It Is well known that each is Jealous of the other's ring reputation. Both men have made good fights and showed excellent form in their last battle.

Root, in his fight with "Kid" McCoy before tbe Metropolitan A. of Detroit last month, made tbe "Hoosler champion" appear like a novice. i Gardner, la his fight with Msrvn Hart In Louisville two weeks ago-, led his friends to believe that be belonged in a class all to himself. At no stage of the twelve rounds did Hart appear to have a chance, and. as the latter outweighed tbe Lowell fighter by twenty pounds, tbe victory was a big boost to his reputation.

Maay Bids far the Fl.ht. In tbe last week no less than eight clubs throughout the country have sent io their bids for a fight between Root and Gardner. Korr Erie, Detroit, Saa Francisco, Portland Butte and Los Angeles (Cal.) clubs have made efforts to secure tbe match. The Arlxona offer was considered the best, not for bidding a big purse, because some of tbe other clubs more than equaled the amount, but tbe fight to a finish, which will forever settls the question of superiority, waa a proposition well liked by both Sides, r-t -V Moving pictures will be taken. of the fight, which will' do away the "after the fight "kicks, for.

the public will only need to. look at the pictures to makeJop their mind aa to whether the fight was awarded to the right ampl theater now belngerected and' where tbe fight will take place has a seating capacity of 15,000 and tbe country has a population of 75,000 to draw from besides the large cities, which will send delegations from ail The question' of referee, timekeepers, and Other ring officials nas not been arranged yet. Jack Root was Jubilant yesterdsy when Informed that a match between htm and Gard-nerrls ao near In s'ght. After being told thai the fight was to be to a finish Root said: "Any fight my manager will arrange aults me, but the news of an early fight with Gardner Is- too good to be I hurt my bands lo our-last fight or I would have won sure. I know he is a good fighter, but I am sure I can beat him.

As scon aa the articles are signed 1 wtil start training. 'The finish fight Is surely in my favor, because I am satrely the cleverer and I will adopt a atyle that will beat him sure." Andy Craig, who did the talking for Gardner said: "Gardner will fight Root anywhere, and I think well enough of him to back him to beat Root. I never saw many of Root's Important fights, but Gardner proved to me in Louisville that be la a great fighter and a hard man to beat in a finish fight." JACK O'BRIEN'S NEW ROLE. Faalllst Will Leetaro to Mela Faada for Chsreh, -Epecial Dispatch to Tha Inter PHILADELPHIA. May 25.

It Is seldom one bears of a pugilist taking a prominent part In affairs that are calculated to Interest the churcb-golng man or woman: PugiKstf, it is- ruppoted, are doing things which furnlrh gossip for a class that knows little, If anything, about the neral appearance of the interior of houses cf worship. Still, In the ranks of the men who earn a livelihood in battles with nature'a weapons God-fearing men are frequently foundL Probably one ot the best living men to Whom the prize ring has brought fame la Joseph J. Hagen. To the average eitlsen Joseph- J. Hagen Is little known, but when "Jack O'Brien" la mentioned it is different.

Thousand of Americans know O'BtIcb personally, or have read of his wonderful victories within the arena of ropes. He is always doing. something to set an example for the army or brawny young men who follow the ring as a vocation. Only a few months ago he took up the study of haw, and- then entered into partnership with a real-estate dealer, and i prosperous. O'Brien's latest venture ls a most commendable one.

He Is going In to aid sweet charity. Down at Twelfth and Jackson streets Is located the Church of the Epiphany, and among the flock that worship there aon is more regular in attendance than the pugilistie champion, but everybody 'down town knows him as- plain Joseph J. Hagen. The popular pastor of the church is Father Nash, and It has been his one die pi re to give to bis flock a new church which will be a credit to his congregation. To build sew churches no small sum of money is needed, and it means hard work to acquire the money necessary to pay for the operation.

Recently Marie Cahlll, the actress, won the admiration of ber fellow New Tork residents by managing a vaudeville for the benefit of ber pastor in tbe metropolis, and she realized a sum well up in the thousands. O'Brien heard of this, and decided that he. might be of some benefit to Father Nash. He offered to help arrange an entertainment the like of which never was held in South Philadelphia, if in the entire city. The matter was mentioned to Father Nash, and it was agreed that a minstrel and vaudeville show par excellence, with noted stars of the footlights, would be an attraction, and that one of the numbers on the program be given to O'Brien.

So Joseph J. Hagen tonight and tomorrow evenings Is to appesr in a lecture, followed by a monologue, and with the aid of life-motion pictures will tell of his travels in England and Ireland, and how bis victories In tbe prize ring brought him in contact with the nobility of England. He will also tell of the humorous side of pugilism, and hopes to attract a crowd that will help swell the building fund. Besides the appearance of O'Brien tbe entire company from Du-naont's will appear in mlnstrcUy, and every noted vaudeville star la Philadelphia this week is to take part. HARD FEATHER-WEIGHT BATTLE.

May 25. In Mike Donlin and Jack Morrlssey the Cincinnati team has two as devoted followers of the pugilistic ring as any baseball organisation can boast of. Whenever an opportunity offers for them to see a go between two pugilists, no matter how limited their reputations will be, Donlin and Morrissey will be found In seats as sesr the-ringside as It is possible to get. It is amusing to wstcb both men at a boxing match. One would think to look at them that they were the fighters instead of the men on' the mat.

Every move mad by the fighters ts duplicated by both Donlin and Morrissey. Every swing, every uppercut. Jab, or lelnt is closely duplicated by-the players as tbey sit In their aeats, and it happens frequently that an- unsuspecting spectator i made ta feel this, absorbing Interest, by seeing a flat swung close under his hose or getting a light Jab in the ribs. "1 just can't help following every blow that is struck In the ring." said Donlin, "and Morrissey seems to suffer the same way. greatest trial comes when my favorite seems to be getting the worst ef the encounter or is losing Then I topuCan.my own strength Into, him, and there have been times when it seemed that the transmission worked well.

At- other times ny assistance- was not potent, and my favorite would lose. Why, in tbe Cor-bett-McOovern fight I felt as though I could send a lot of surplus energy to Terry from Augusts. all the way to California, but evidently the air currents were 'against me, for Terry was beaten to a frazzle."

Review of All tho Classic Eveais-AaVa GaarsVa Rererd of SrfMI Haa Xever Beea Lowered.

Five big races en tho American turf that stand out pre-eminently arc tha American) Derby in Washington park, Chicago; tha Metropolitan, Brooklyn, and Suburban handicaps, and the Futurity race, for S-year-olds isj the East. To win any one of the flva man; a millionaire turfman would give many times the value of the purse. Probably never haa greater Interest beea taken In the racing of thoroughbreds than IS manifested this year. With the entry of such men ot William C. Whitney.

August Belmont, and other millionaires, the Amer ican turf haa taken on a new life. On Thursday, tbe 28th. the meeting at Cravesend will bfgln and the second turf classic or the season, the Brooklyn Handicap, will soon be decided. For fifteen years thla race has claimed a large abare ot attentloa from the patrons of racing. Next to th Suburban it is the champion race of the sea- son.

and there has never been a winner of tha race that has not taken a prominent part la tho list of champion American thorough-. breds. From Dry Monopole, the first winner, down to Reina. who won last year, esch sue- cezsive victor has been a horse of more tbsa ordinary caliber. Tbe Brooklyn Handicap Is alwaya run on the opening day of the Brook- ij viuu apriug uirr 1 1 at urartt end, and it has never yet failed to attract a tremendous crowd, even on days when tho weather has been extremely bad.

The Brooklyn handicap was started in 18S7 by the Dwyer brothers, Michael F. and Philip who were the builders of tha Grave-send course. In those days the Dwyer Lroih-ers were a power on the turf. Michael Dwy- er was famous as a plunger r.d his big wagers on bis own iiorses were the terror of. the bookmakers In the ring.

Phil Dwyer was cf different ilk. He was satisfied to let bis horses run fcr the stake The result was that Mike Dwyer Is now a comparatively poor man, broken in health a physical wreck.

Exile made a dash fcr him, and the groom had only time to climb a friendly tree to escape being trampled to death. The frensied stallion stationed himself at the foot of the tree, and lashed and kicked violently, then turned on himself and tore tbe flesh from his sides and legs.

Oaly Two Favorites IVI Of "the fifteen winners of the Brooklyn only two have been public favorites. In a large majority cf cases the winner has beea quoted at Ion odds, so that it has come to be expected now that the Brooklyn will bo won by an outsider. This year's field Is one of the best that has ever been carded for the big race.Thero are still sixty-five horses eligible to start, but of course, many of them will not face tbe flag.

The field wlH likely number cot mere than fifteen. Not more tban twenty of those eligible look to have a chance, and it is probable the field will come from the following-named horses: Hermis. Advance Guard. Blue, Masterman. Articulate, Francesco.

Heno. Igniter. Gunfire. Olympian, Roval. Leonora Loring.

Oom Paul, His Em- inence. The Rhymer, Waswlft, Onatas, Yard-arm, Prediction. Glmcrack. and Injunction. In the future betting on the race Hermis has until recently occupied the position of favorite.

Since Mr. Whltney'a Gunfire won tbe Metropolitan, however, she has been In-" stalled the choice. Her odds are now quoted at 8 to 1, while Hermis has gone back to -10. Blues is also quoted at 10. with Advance Guard at 15.

Goldsmith, another of tbe Whitney candidate, has fallen from 40 to 1 to 15. It is hardly likely that Goldsmith wilt start, however, as J. W. Rogers, his trainer, is pointing tbe horse for tbe Suburban, and said only recently that he would cot start until that race..
