Ornament is entered in the Brooklyn and Suburban handicaps and will be retired to the stud after these races. May Hempstead will fill all her engagements in the East.

yh a. April IS It wculd be un i jus: to criticise Barnie's team harshly on the basis of Us showing in one game. Victory covers a multitude of shortcomings, but. when it comes to discussing the merits of i the club for a long campaign, there is con elderable to be desired. They are not hitting at their proper gait, judging from Saturday's i game.

Taking the same criterion, the inlield is not strong. It will be a long time before Jones ranks as a short stop, and there are some who think he never will. His errors on Saturday may have been due to nervous i xiess and also to the fact that it was his first game cu a grass diamond. He threw to i first as he would from the outfield to the plate high and hard. Ho is a sure catch of liners aud flies to the infield, but in the line i mean tlm the cranks must overlook his shortcomings.

Barnie will give Jones a thorough trial and, in order to leave ubsiaele in the player's path, George Smith will be released, probably to Pittsburg, as already announced in the Eagie. Smith's usefulness in Brooklyn is past, although he show to better effect elsewhere. His work las: year showed tihat he was going back and the inability of Brooklyn to secure a man to fill 'his place made imperative on Barnie to develop a player for the position. Hence, Jones has been selected, and the fact that he will hereafter go to thai position with the knowledge that he is not tal ting away another man's bread and butter, so to speak, will have tie effect giving to him greater confidence and bring before hinte more strongly the knowledge that bo must fill the bill. Iu the meantime, Hallman will be called upon to do extra work in and about his position.

Brooklyn has done well in securing a mar. or Mailman caliber During the ores great strength as a fielder and when Jones uas uecome properly developed, nallraan woric snine an more. Not in many years has Brook. second base been so well defended, wEile in hitting and base running were is no comparison. I Shindle needs little more practice on grass diamonds before he may be considered to be In form.

His error on Saturday would not liave been made had he not been used to playing on the skin diamonds of the minor leagues. To the uninitiated there appears to be no difforence between the two. but the league players are authority for the statement that ho ball bounds different and it is more difficult to judge distances after becoming i used to one or the other. At first. Tucker's play cannot be praised too highly.

Nothing is too difficult for the vete ran and he had to twist himself in all manner of shapes on Saturday to catch ami block ir.any badly thrown balls. He saved many sr. error, while his own pickups of hits in bis direction were clean and picturesque. The work of LaOhance and Griffin has already i been described and the reference to their, can only be emphasized. Anderson needs plenty uuiis.

out may ue j.Hiu in nis uenaii tnat nis one Handed stop of Thompson's hard bounder in the second inning was neatly done and possibly cut of. run. "Kennedy showed himself to be in condition and had been first class he might have shut out the (jtrafesrs. Ryan should be a star behind the bat and'hi first game indicates that he will. He is a fast, thrower and sure, but in order to make work show cieany and brilliantly the infielders" must utva.

It is arranged like an amphitheater, the fieid heing entirely surrounded by stands, two and sometimes three stories in height. All are' well kept and neatly painted.

Crowded with spectators, as they were on Saturday, they made a brilliant background for the moving panorama on the green field below. The only detect is the shortness of right and center fields, where long flies are good for home runs, where they would ordinarily count for doubles, singles and put outs elsewhere. The row at the Polo Grounds was commented on at length by the Brooklyn players and officials. It was the unanimous opinion that the fault lay with Joyce, who should have or aerea nis players to let the umpire alone. His kick against Snyder rendering the decision at third showed that he had not read up the rules, whipb farmr.

The House at Bay Ridge Was Formally Opened Yesterday Position of the Crescent Athletic Club Regarding the Eagle Cup Race Xzzi July Crescent's Four Oared Gig Crews Harlem Club3 Well Attended. Weather like yesterday's is the sort required to bring out the oarsmen and convince them that the rowing' season is really here. There Mvere signs of life in plenty among the clubs of Bay Ridge, Harlem and Flushing Bay. The Brooklyn Rowing Club, formerly Name less Boat Club, opened its house for the season yesterday, and the executive board, which has been working hard 'to have everything in readiness, were gratified at the large number of members who dropped in during the course ot the day.

Martin Rob ercs, the Brooklyn's new steward, has almost "completed his work of overhauling the entire fleet, and the improved appearance of the boats, was the subject of general remark. The non arrival of the new uniforms of the club was a disappointment to many of the members, but the committee' assured them that the uniforms will be ready early this week. There is every evidence of a boom. in the membership of the Brooklyn Rowing Club, there being a number of applications on file, and every assurance of an increase before the May meeting. Monthly recep tions will be one of the club's features this seaspu, the first to take place on Wednesday, 1 May IS.

The initial barge trip of the season was made yesterday in the barge Brooklyn to Clif ton, S. I. The crew was, Captain J. J. Wald I man.

E. M. Gibson, John Bonham, W. J. Tierney, J.

F. Coughlin; W. S. Dunn, S. Buckley, H.

J. Brierley and T. M. Hag gerty, coxswain. The trip, which was a most enjoyable one, included a visit to the San Francisco, at her anchorage off Tompkins ville.

Although the rowing committee of the Crescent Athletic Club will do its best to organize a crew for the Eagle cup race of the Long Island regatta, the fact that the event will take place on Flushing Bay is likely to act as a serious handicap. The Crescent delegates at tho annual meeting of the association voted for Sheepshead Bay, after' the question of a course had been discussed and had the Crescents' choice been that of the meeting at large, a four oared crew from Bay. Ridge could have been counted on as one of the sure entries in the regatta. As the matter now stands, the rowing committee anticipates considerable difficulty la inducing the right men for two crews, a regular and a scrub to go so far out of their way as North Beach in order to train regularly. It was the original intention of the committee to select an Eagle cup crew from amcng the oarsmen competing in the four oared gig race of the Crescent regatta on June 25.

This plan of filling the boat is. still adhered to. but owing to the remote location of the regatta from a Crescent standpoint, it remains to be seen how the oaremen will respond. Already there is positive assurance of six four cared gigs in the club races and the interest in all of the other events is 'correspondingly great. In the four gigs t'he oarsmen, with scarcely an exception, are juniors and eligible to represent the club in the contest for the Eagle cup.

The trophy which has been offered In the Crescent Club for the purpose of encouraging junior sculling, will doubtlessly fulfill the purpose of the donor. At least twenty men will take part in the races. which will be contested on the second Saturday of June, July. August i and September.

Wallace Ross, the professional sculler, is coaching all three. The Harlem Rowing Club is one of the most active of the Manhattan organizations preparing for the Decoration Day regatta. It will have at least four entries, a junior, intermediate and senior double and a senior four. The Nonpareils will also be largely represented in the Harlem races next month. The Atalanta Boat Club has an eight oared shell crew which contains two ex oarsmen, Ohl, more noted as a foot ball player, and Shafe of the 1895 crew a Ithaca.

The water at Flushing yeslerday was In Ideal condition for rowing and some of the clubs took advantage of it. Several single gigs were out from the Seawanhaka house and the attendance all day was large. A committee to secure the co operation erf the business men of North Beach in making th Long Island regatta a success will shortly bv appointed in the Seawanhak a Club. The Kings County Wheelmen held its opening and photograph run to 'Min den's yesterday and a fine sip'ht the veteran club presented. All of the big machines were seen in the van and the drab uniformed riders presented a martial sbrht.

N. 1,218 Bedford av, Brooklyn. Work on Most of the Larger Crafts Is at a Standstill. GOVERNMENT CLAIMS FIRST. Prominent Yachtsmen Are Anxious to Place Their Resources at the Disposal of the Authorities Others Are Waiting jo a Settlement Before Fitting Out.

Many Boats Will Not BeCommissioned at All Local News. Judging from advance indications, which present a forecast that cannot be mistaken, the yachting season on the Atlantic coaat will suffer greatly as a consequence of the threatened war, even if 'the strained relations between Spain and the United States do not result in an immediate declaration of hostilities. Granting that the Cuban difficulty can be settled withoirt a conflict, the delay that the war preparations have occasioned in yachting circles will act as a drawback to the sport far into the summer. Nearly all of the large yacht owners, whose crafts have not been mustered into the government's service, are waiting far beyond their usual time of overhauling before giving orders to fit out, pending a settlement of the international difficulties. The fleet ot steam yachts has been depleted by the transformation of some of its most noted member into armored commerce destroyers of the smaller type and, should war be declared, it is likely that as many more of the yachts, which are now lying at one or another of the local basins, will Bpend the summer on the high seas, instead of cruising leisurely through the sound to New London, Vineyard Haven and on Mount Desert, as heretofore.

Work on the dozens of yachts, large and small, whteh at present are moored to the docks along shore and at City Island, is practically at a standstill. Under ordinary circumstances at this time of the year the proprietors of the various yards are at the height of their busiest season, but this spring, for the reason cited above, 'busraess is practically dead. A number of men, whose time and attention have annually been given to yachting and its interests, this year consider their fondness for a sport far secondary to the needs of the government, so they "have not hesitated to place every resource ait their com mand amd, in some cases, their own services at th disposal of the author Sties at Washington. These men, of course, are chiefly the owners of large yachts, which would be of some value In naval warfare. It remains to be seen how a conflict would aifect the racing yachts and their owners, as the time for fitting out the small sailing craft is not yet at hand.

An idea of the probable action of many yachtsmen, may be judged from the decision of J. Roger Maxwell, owner of the famous Schooner Emerald. He has said that in case of war, the Emerald will not be fitted out at all. And there are a number of other amateur sailors, many not so well known as Mr. Maxwell, who will take the same course.

Some will do so from choice, others because they are members of the naval reserve, detachments of which are already on du'ty. C. Oliver Iselin, the owner of the Defender, returned from Europe the other day, and when asked concerning his yachting plans for the season, said that the crisis in the affairs of the gov ernment were too serious to allow even a consideration of sporting matters. Jamaica Bay Yacht Club's Beefsteak Dinner. Rockaway Beach, L.

A RACE ON THE CYCLE PATH. Unknown Riders Defy the Chill of the Early Morning Hours Presumably to Settle a Rivalry Jack Knowles Passes Away A Road Race at Little Neck.

Manhattan Track Opens the Season With a Boom. Secretary Reeves of the National Cyele drooie, who returned from Paris on Saturday afternoon, after a three weeks' trip on the continent in search of foreign cycling racers, was seen by the Eagle reporter this morning. Reeves, who is also the secretary of the Quill Club Wheelmen, picked up a number of flyers of great fame on the other side aud incidentally some interesting information regarding the racing situation abroad. In addition to the Jallu brothers, with their electric tandem, who arrived here a. fortnight ago.

Reeves signed Boulay, Cavelly and Robertson, and secured options on several other noted riders. Reeves met the Jallu brothers at 11 o'clock in the morning the day after his arrival and at 11 o'clock the same night the men were aboard the steamer bound for these shores, a feat that caused the Frenchmen to refer to him as the "hustling Yankee." The Jallus have been seen here and their fame is well known. Bcuiay is the holder of the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, winning the tro phy presented by the Czar last year. He has beaten Jacque lin and Morin, an honor that very few riders can boast.

Bourotte, called "the frog," was the only rider to defeat Jaequelin in a match in 1S97, riding thirty two miles in ihe hour to do it. Cavelly won more firsts in ISO" than any other rider in France and also captured the Grand Prix of Germany. All of these riders are Frenchmen. Jack Robertson, the re maining rider of the quartet signed by Reeves, will be the only other famous Englishman to come to America this season, all of the others laving een signed by tae big Briusn tire firm. Robertson is called the "English San ger." being a great big fellow of much the samp as th frtmin, A to ports be true he is an even greater handicap riaer man Sanger.

Keeves saw him win a handicap in London of the most sensational kind. Robertson has beaten Huret iu a 100 knometer paced contest, with the exception ol Monti and Jaequelin these riders are the fastest on the French track. Reeves secured, among other options, a contract with an IS year old Frenchman named SImar, a youngster of about Michael's build and a rider of great promise. ae old rivalry between the Princesse and tracits, mat created such a war in French racing, has been settied, says Reeves less and is more substantial than when it was at the hysterical stage. A meet in Paris wmcn eeves attended had between six and scveu t'htmsand spectators, and much enthusiasm was manifested.

"With these anil the other foreigners already secured the Cyclfxh ome must intend presenting some novel and famous contests on its tracks this season. Reeves picked up a number of ideas of racing never Keen here and the 'track at Ambrose Park prorivises to be the scene of some great meetings. The track will be finished enrlv in Mav. An Early Morning Race. The cycle path iu the wee sua' hours of yesterday morning was the scene of a race between 'two aspiring local riders, attended by a big bunch of their fellow, clubmen, and, as may be expected, the sight was a novel one.

Taking place when the. chill of the night was at its height the aDnearance of rhp a sbudder through the onlookers. arriveaat the scene clc'thed in their club uniforms. After arranc 2T for the r. rhpec np'f ime ana Lhe racers stood ready for business, Consigning the clothes to some friends the riders, whose names couia not De learned, started for r.nnov with their escorts trailing along behind them.

The start was made about 2:45 o'oinck and weD. the spectators were aiong uj ciY.i like a couple of ghosts. That the crowd had everything prepared for the contest was certain. Two riders, who were returning home to Bath Beach after their labors in the city, were stopped as they were about to go on the paths by tht crowd. "You'd better not go down there," said one cf them, warningly; "there's some fellers hcldin' everybody up! They threw sticks and stones at one of cur crowd." The Bath Beach riders' were too anxious to get home, however, to be frightened they bravely struck out, shivering at the prospects of meeting some highwaymen and wondering how a bandit on a bicycle would begin operations.

That the warning was simply a scheme to get. all riders out of the way of the race was proven a few minutes late when a long string of lights was seen coming up in the rear by the Bath Beachers. "I reckon they're coming down in a body to look for the highwaymen," said one. "Let's wait and see." So the two slowed up. Two lamps, side by side, headed the cavalcade and as these drew near it was seen that they were attached to racing machines, whose riders were pedalling for dear life.

The amazed residents of Bath Beach opened their eyes In astonishment and "hooked on" behind. "Aw, say, don't youse do that," pleaded one of the nearest of the rear guard, dis is a fair race." So the friends from the shores ot Gravesend pulled out and let 'the crowd slip by. In singles, twos and threes they came, the unfortunates who carried the racing clothing bringing up the tail end. Who won or what other termination of the race came to pass in not known, bu't the sight was an unusual one, and will long be remembered by these who saw it. If the racers escape pneumonia they are to be congratulated; they had nothing to fear of the police at that hour of course.

Lively Scenes at Manhattan Beach. Manhattan Beach track opened for the season yesterday and a scene of familiar incidents was witnessed at the famous oval. The crowd was many times the largest ever seen there at this season of the year, and as it came from one source only the riders it bespeaks increased interest in the affairs of the track this year. More than three hundred wheels were checked during the afternoon, while there were many more or less famous riders who tried the banks for the first time outdoors in 1S98. The only Michael took a two mile spin and was the center of attraction.

Titus and Major Taylor rode about five miles each, while a number of amateurs were seen. Charley Earl went about ten miles. paced by his clubmates of the Kings County open on Saturdays and Sundays during the remainder of the season. Next Sunday the trains will probably be running on the Manhattan Beach division of the Long Island Railroad. Jack Knowles Dead.

John Knowles, a well known bicyclist, and the man who rode sixty consecutive centuries daily some years ago, died this morning, at Bellevue Hospital of consumption. Knowles was taken to the hospital on January 17 by his brother, Edward R. Knowles, also a or S6 Cambridge place, Brooklyn. He was 39 years old and lived at 20 "West Sixty fourth street, Manhattan. He was a member of the Kings County Wheelmen.

It is some years ago since he made the famous record of riding 100 miles every day for sixty days. It is about two weeks since Knowles' nephew, Edwin Knowles, was killed while riding a bi cycle 'In Brooklyn. A Road Race at Little Neck. Little Neck. L.
