Maid Marian Surprises the Talent at Morris Park. Special Telegram to TurTimks. Morris Park Track, October 9. Maid Marian broke the five-furlong turf record and started tbe turfites out of tbe lethargic condition that they were gradually sinking into here to-day. It was the first race on the programme.

Hugh Penny was favorite. He was ridden by bis part owner, McCahTerty, which cost blm tbe victory and a new record. Clayton, on Maid Marion, outrode htm and won by a nostril. The five furlongs were lowered in The best previous record was .57 flat. This time was made by Dr.

Hasbrouck, with 12 pounds up. In 1K92. A year biter It was equaled by Correction. Domino's sister carried 119 pounds. Maid Marfan established tbe new record after a bitter struggle.

Tbe Morris Park track Is at Its best Just now and It is expected that several other records will be broken before tbe close of the present meeting if the weather continues tine. Maid Marian carried the support or the Western contingent- She closed a hot second choice. The race was really a good betting affair. Hurllngbam, Iola and Patrician were all well mipported. The day was not a particularly pleasant one.

It was fine overhead, but the air was a trifle loo raw to be entirely agreeable. The attendance was large, especially in view of the fact that tbe card was an off-day affair. It was freely asserted that Sufficient bad beaten The Butterflies in private, ho she was made a warm favorite for the maiden 2-y ear-old race. Tnere was a strong tip out on the Sabrlna colt aiso. He closed second in demand in the rine.

Sufficient ran a very good race. Her finish was a most Imposing one. In very eood time she hnd her field in difficulties. The Sabrlna colt finished in his order of favoritism. The race wan an entire vindication ot the talent, as April Fool, the third favorite, finished third.

Tbe race for the sixth Dunmore (stakes produced a novel and stirring finish. It was a bitter fight between Perry Belmont's Magian and hiM brothers (O. P. H. Belinontt handsome Brandvwlne.

They put up a royal battle. They disputed every Inch of tbe last furlong and crossed the line heads apart. The maroon and cherry of the younger brother, however, was In the van when the all important line whs rennhed. Connoisseur was the favorite for the race. This colt has had entirely too much racing.

Taral, by dint of burd persuasion, kept him In the front ranks for half the distance. He was unable to keep bim there and be finished in tbe ruck. Sal vatlon was second favorite. He was running strong at the finish, but did not appear to be able to keep up with bis field during the first half of the journey. He was a good fourth at the fiulsh.

The fourth field was at the post thirty-six minutes. They were finally sent away in fair order. Black Hawk, tbe rankest outsider, at once shot Into the lead. He held It to the end, and without having allowed anything to get within striking distance or bim, won by au open length. Jack or Spades, ridden out In an attempt to get up to the winner, beat Peacemaker a similar distance for tbe place.

Setauket won the sixth race, Lustre was second, Restraint third. The summary: First race, five furlongs Maid Marian, 111, Clayton, 2 to 1, won; High Penny, 117, McCaflerty, 9 to 5, second Iola, 10S, Dosreett, 6 to 1, third. Time, .5. Hurllngbam. Belll-cosa and Patrician also ran.

Pigeon Flying News. Monday evening tbe three birds, Jr. L. Glosser, Nancy and Daisy Bell, of tbe E. Sen- derllng loft, were sent to tbe 100 miles station to take advantage of the southwest wind tbat was to have been turned on yesterday morning but was not.

The birds are not yet let go. Thetwelve birds of the John R. Hunsberger loft. Chestnut Hill, were sent away last nttrht to the 200 miles station for liberating as soon as tbe weather Is suitable.

Places Two Heats to Her Credit In the Secoud Brigade The Great Kentucky Futurity Won In Straight Heats. TIE largest field of horses that were ever started in a race in this city, a Brand stand and clnb boose crowded with enthusiastic snectators and Jlrf exciting finishes, marked the second day of the fall meeting of the Philadelphia Driving Park Association at Point Breeze yesterday. The programme for the day consisted of the unfinished 2.45 mixed class, the 2.35 claps for trotters, 2.25 for pacers and the 2.

10 class of trotting cracks. Two were finished, four heats of the paring rnce were contested nnd darkness prevailed before the 2.16 class could be even considered. Tho day marked an epoch in the track's history. Thirty horses were entered for the 2 25 class of trotters, of which eighteen wore nominated to start, the greatest number of horses that have ever been started in a race in this vicinity. THE STARTER 8 GOOD ADVICE.

Frank B. Walke. of Indianapolis, whose work as starting judge has won the approval of tho frequenters of old Point Breeze, gave the drivers some brief advice, and to the surprise of every one the four beats which were required to decide the race were started with but little preliminary scoring. It was a great field of horses, close finishes and only one horse was distanced in the entire race; in fact, it is safe to assume that four such races as the four heats developed into have never been seen on any track in this country. The 2.45 class of trotting, which was brought to a conclusion on Monday night by darkness, was won by the black gelding Tyranus, driven by Harvey Ernest she having two heats to her credit the night before, and was consequently awarded first money.

Lady a dapper little roan mare, won the first heat of the big race, with the chestnut gelding. Kockburn, a close second. The entire field secured a good start in the subsequent beats, but Rockburn managed to show bis nose in front in the next three heats, and won first money, despite the fact of the great struggle and the unusually large field of starters. Tho bay gelding. Hamlet, and the bay mare, bad two Heats eacn 10 inoir credit in the 2.25 pacing class, when darkness caused a postponement until to-day.

During the afternoon the bav Stallion, Wisdom, by I Mambrmo King, one oi the most richly nred stallions in America, owned by Mr. C.J. Fitz gerald, turf editor New York Sun, was exhibited on tbe track. Ho was given a warming up mile in 2.37 merely to show his phenomenal gait and majestic stride. He excited much admiration.

THE KENTUCKY FUTURITY.

Benzetta Won the Rich Stake in Three Heats. Lexington, October 9. The richest trotting stake ever provided In tbe world was that of the Kentucky Futurity, which was trotted here this afternoon In tbe presence of 8,000 people. Tbe weatber was clear and cool with a slight wind blowing. Tbe track was very fast.

Of tbe nine 3-year-olds tbat faced tbe nagE. W. Ay res' chestnut Ally Benzetta, by Onward, dam Buela, by Harold, was tbe favorite over tbe field. She was unlucky enough to draw the oustlde position, and acted so badly In tbe excessive scoring that it looked as if Gut Macey, ber driver, would never get her away. Coming down for tbe fifteenth tlroo, he got ready and, although she got off in tbe last division, before a lurlong was trotted she was mistress of tbe situation.

Rich in Hamble-tnnian blood, ber gait was pure and faultlesB, anu, without being struck a lick, she swept past her field of brilliant youngsters ana before the half-mile pole was reaebed was leading by two full lengths. She was never In trouble and came home an easy winner, with four lengths to spare. Tbe second and tbfrd beats were simply 2r NO CHANCE IS POSSIBLE It lias Been Agreed Tbat the Content Shall Take Place nt the State Fair Gronnds on November 10 This Is as the Tigers Wish It and the Ararlty Acquiesces To-Day's Game Atralnst the Crescent A. C. The predicted conclusion of tbe Princeton- Pennsylvania dissension as to the place of playing of tbeirannual game is acknowledged by both managements to be at hand.

But a day or twe) will now intervene before tho final arrangements will definitely be mado. As stated in yesterday's issue of The Times the game will almost certainly be played at Trenton on the fairgrounds, with the possibility of playing in Philadelphia a second but very remote choice. Such was the proposition submitted by Manager Munn, of Princeton, to Manager Delabarro in New York at last Monday night's meeting, and since Pennsylvania is unlikely to offer any ol jection to Princeton's decision the place will certainly be there. Manager Delabarre still retains hope of playing at home, bat such a change can only be accomplished by a radical alteration in the Princeton position, which at this late stage is next to impossible. Manager Delabarre bas overlooked the Trenton Fair grounds during the past few days.

There can be no doubt as to 'abilities of the place to accommodate any sized crowd which can be reasonshly expected to attend, with the one drawback that the stands are located at a distance from tho field of over filty yards, which will make it, to say the least, difficult to follow the play as closely as most ot the spectators would wish. 11 is main objection, however, is the fact tbat the turf is very irregular and rugged at one end, the field being seven feet higher than at the other and covered throughout witlp hillocks ana nouows. lo attempt to revise that by resodding at this late period would be practi cally useless, so that an unsatisfactory contest on a rough gronnd is a necessity. From Princeton tho word comes that the Princeton authorities are still thinking of Princeton longingly. They admit the only possibility of having the game there will be by virtue of the Pennsylvania Kail road consenting to lay a second track from Princeton to Princeton Junction to carry crowd.

The interest of the railroad do not present the advantage of Princeton over Trenton with sufficient emphasis to for a moment con-sidur this possible. Of the accommodations for the crowd and reaching there tbe Priucctonians arrange tho matter thus: Stands would be erected on all four sides of the gridiron. The two stands at the ends would accommodate fifteen hundred each, while those along the sides could be made to hold between them eight thousand spectators. This would make the seating capacity of the grounds eleven thousand. In front of each stand two platforms would be built, which could accommodate about three thousand more.

Tbe grounds could thus be made to hold about fourteen thousand. It seems a shame that tbe Princoton management cannot see their way clear to play upon one of the numerous grounds in Philadelphia admirably adapted to the purpose, of which the Germantown Cricket Club, Belmont Cricket Club and Philadelphia Base Ball Club's grounds, at Manholm, Elmwood and Broad and Huntingdon streets respectively, are samples. Princeton's reasons for ignoring so im portant a factor in the play are evidently very good. Another change suggested by Manager Munn which is certain to meet with no resistance from Pennsylvania is an alteration of the date to November 10. Both teams will have an opportunity to make much better preparation by the later date and should present materially better teams.

The game can thus be said to be arranged for the Trenton Fair grounds on November 10. Tbe 'Varsity team buck up against tbe strong Crescent Athletic Club team on the home grounds to-day. Captain Knipo had his mon at work on lignals and plays in secret practice again yesterday and very serious admonitions are being opportioned to the lads this morning. Tbe team which came within three yards of scoring on Yale and held the New Haven lads down to two touchdowns no less than four days since is considered no unworthy rival. The Crescent team is composed of ex-col legiate stars.

For the past three years the combination has been a very strong one and has twice won tbe metropolitan champion ship. The team, judging from tbe showing against Yale, is decidedly in the class witn its predecessors. Last year Crescent Athletic Club was the strongest team Pennsylvania played and this year with tbe exception of Lehigh it is again liKeiy to do. The game will be iuteresting from two other points of view. First, Pennsylvania will again play them in ten days; the comparative scores will be interesting as showing the improvement of the men.

Second, tho comparative strength of Yale and Pennsylvania according to the 'Varsity showing may in a measure be judged, and later of Princeton and Harvard, for both these teams play the Crescents. Local enthusiasts will be out in force. The teams will line up as follows TJ. of P. Crescent.

Rosengarten Left end Warner Wagenhnrsl Left tackle. Quill Woodruff. Left guard SandTord Bull Centre. Baldwin Wharton Rleht eiiird Hotcbklss Minds tackle Wright Upton Right end wingate Wiihama 1 Quarter-back Cromwell Gilbert Left half-back Goodwin Osgood Right half-back White Brooke uu-uacK rran The Varsity eleven is in dangerof losing one of its best candidates. Billy McKeever, who is playing such a splendid game at end, is finding the press of senior studies in his professional course almost incompatible with foot ball play.

For three days he bas missed practice and fears he will be unable to resume play. His loss would bo most seriously felt io event of injury to either of the ends at present playing, while in the opinion of many McKeever need play second fiddle to no one. Amherst Downs Wesleyan.

The second championship game of foot-ball between Philadelphia and New York, was played on the Phillies' grounds yesterday, and another victory for the visitors resulted, the score being 5 to 2 in their favor. The weatber was seasonable for tbe game, and quite a crowd was In attendance, and tbat they appreciated the fine points of the game was demonstrated by the frequent outbursts of applause.

Tbe first half was simply a walk over for New York, five goals being made. but In the second balf the local team braced wonderfully, and bad their opponents on the defensive all tbe time. Had they played tbe first balf in a like manner a different result would have to be chronlsled. New York won the toss and cbose tbe northern goal, kicking with the wind. Right on time Lough ran put the ball In play for tbe locals.

Tbe opening was fast, each end of the field being visited in quick succession. Six minutes alter tbe start Connolly scored tbe first goal ZorNew York. Philadelphia played up well and Cochran, by a good run around the left wing, narrowly escaped scoring, but Fiynn saved at the expense of a corner. Luf- ioii men got in a gooa run, out wnson was not to be passed and saved neatly. The locals then put In some bard work nt- incKing Doin wings, ouimey couia not oreatc Uiiouifh the excwllent defense of the New YorKs, who were now on the offensive.

After some pietty playing on the left wing. Con- nolly, twenty minutes from the start, sent In a clinking shot, which Dearaon missea. This was followed a few minutes later by an other by Oaviu, due to the wretched work of Turner, sun Keeping up the aggressive, me visitors played well toneiher and this told against the somewhat ragged playing of the Phil lien, Lufton scoring the fourth of tbe goals before the call of time for the nrst hair. Score: New York, Philadelphia, 0. On cbaneine ends Trainor took Hlggfns' place on the wing, while Charlton displaced Rellly.

From the start the Phillies were the atrereRsors, and after several attempts Welghtman, amid loud applause, hot the nrst goal ror the uome team, itn wie wina now with them, the locals forced the play Into their opponents' territory, compelling New York to act on the defensive. The play was fast and the home team put In all they Knew now to oreaK tnrougu ineir opponents' defense. Flynn and Govern, however, were too strong, both men playing in ex cellent form. Lone bran placed a pretty one after a fine run, but tbe point was not allowed, a claim of offside being made and sustained. Lupton and Trainor followed with a good run down tbe field around tbe right wing, but their effort was fruitless, as Wilson got possession and started things tbe other way.

Alter a series of short runs on the right wing Welghtman from a splendid shot scored the second goal ror Philadelphia. On the ball being In play again New York took a brace and some fast, pretty playing resulted. Passing by the forwards soon put the locals on the defensive and Deardon scored four hot shots In quick suc cession. Tne play was then confined to the middle of tbe field and when the referee's whistle sounded calling time tbe ball was nearly central, the final score being: New York, fi; Philadelphia, 2. Tbe teams lined up ad ioiiows; New York.

Tbe games are open both to any student entering tbe University for the first time this yearor to any novice. Of the former are many prominent athletes. George O.

Jar vis, the inter-collegiate mile champion, is best known. He Is training steadily and expects to be In fine shape, both for this race and tbe games on the 27th, when be will meet O. W- Orton, tbe present American amateur champion. Tbls should result In a fast and exciting match. W.

HADE EXAMPLES OP THEM. Cruelty to Children and Accrravated Assault Severely Punished. In Quarter Sessions Court, No. 1, yesterday, before Judgre Reed, John and Sarah McGinn, of Tacony, were convicted of cruelty to 13-year-old Lizzie Fitzgerald, whom tbey bad taken from a borne to raise. The prosecution was brought by the Society to Protect Children from Cruelty.

It appeared that the defendants had been in tbe habit of maltreating tbe little girl without any provocation, It was testified tbat they bad knocked ber aown with tbelr fists and beaten her with a black-snake whip. When broutrht to Secretary Crew the child's body was covered witb bruises. Ju due Heed said tbat as a warning to others be would give tbe defendants tbe lull extent of the law one year eacn In tbe County Prison. I'eterand Rose Duffy were convicted in the same court of aggravated asBault and battery on Cassie Kigg street. During a quarrel between the parties over their children Duffy furnished bis wife with a knife and urged heron to use it, the result being that Mrs.

Manlgly was tab bed about the Units and neck several times. Tbe Judge said that In order to show that people should control their evil temper the defendants should be made an example of. He sentenced them to one year each tbe husband in the Eagtern Penitentiary and tbe wife In the County Prison. The Slandered Potato. From the Chicago Record.

After having fed and nourished whole families for centuries the bumble potato Uvea to bear Itself maligned in a pure-food show. Of tbespeakers who have lectured In the exhibition at Battery several have spoken of the potato, and nlways in terms the most censorious and bitter. They have derided Its honest, grimy jacket nnd brought It into odious comparison with the bean. Tbey have declared it to be deficient In nutritive elements, and have belied tbe medical wisdom of several decades which still declares tbe potato to be a great fattening food. They have depicted tbe potato.

In short, as a guileful fraud, a delusion and a snare. Out upon tbe pure-food lecturers! Let tbe potato be defeoded and restored lo honor and position 1 It is bad enough to have to serve so hum bly. But to be talked about In tbls way after so many years of service Is en on gh to bring tears to tbe eyes of any potato. And Serve lllrn Blent. From the Buffalo Express.

As a rule, the practical joker does not get sufficiently punished lor his Jokes. It would be unjnst to say. however, that Patrick Carroll, of New York, who was one of that sort of rellows, did not get enough. He tried to throw some water down on his wife from the roof of the building in which they were living, fell off and was Instantly killed. Perhaps bis death will give some of bis kind pause, and, if it does, Patrick's crown of glory will have been well won.

As a Private Citizen. From the Kvening World. Judge Gay nor emphasizes the fact tbat whatever he has done In the way of helping tbe work of reform In the community be bas done as a private citizen. It is a point worthy of emphasis, because it is worth while to carry tbe reminder that private citizens can do everything for a community tbat tbey will. It is the theory or our forms of government that such citizens will always be on Kuard.

IvTUST BE FOUGHT EAlIiV Engagements That Conflict With Another and Foremost Duty Cannot Be Offered as an Excuse for Not Defending the Title of Champion and Corbett Must Fight Now or Relin quish All Claim to the Honor of Being the Boss Heavy-Weight. President Scholl, of the Olympic Athletic Club of New Orleans, returned from New York yesterday to this city, and last night was in the company of Robert Fitzsimmons, the middle-weight champion, at tbe Lyceum Theatre, for whom the clnb he represents is trying to arrange a match with Champion James Corbett. His trip North is made solely for the purpose of looking after his club's interest at the interview arranged between Corbett and the lanky fighter in New York city to-morrow morning.

When questioned as to what part he proposed to take in that interview President Scholl said I am not here as a matchmaker, but simply to learn the developments of tbat interview. The Olympie Club bas offered a purse of $25,000 for the fight, but it must come off before July or very much later. I am not willing that it should take place later than April, because- in the summer months we would not be sure of tho attendance of even a corporal's guard in New Orleans." A POSSIBLE EXCUSE, Corbett's theatrical engagements as a possible excuse for tbe tatter's refusal to engage to fight earlier than July brought tbe following response: We tbink in New Orleans tbat tbe title of champion should be defended at least twice a year, and Mr. Corbett bas no right as champion to make any theatrical con tract without a proviso tbat would enable him to cancel it at any time and leave him free to defend his title when challenged by rcsponsi ble people. I was under the impression that all his contracts were so made, but I am informed tbat is not the case.

'As to our rieht to declare tbe title of champion vacant, I tbink our reasons are given fully in tbe manifesto which ynu now all know. Further, I think that the Olympic Club or any other athletic organization could have done the same thing, it tho light is brought off in New Orleans there is no doubt of our being able to bring it to a finish contest. We will not be limited to twenty-five rounds, but by tbe time the fight comes off a finish contest will not be prohibited," When be goes to New York he will take with him the articles of agreement which Fitzsimmons signed in New Orleans after he defeated Creedon. These call for a fight to a finish for a purse of $25,000. He will ask Corbett to sign them.

There promises, however, to be spirited bidding between the Auditorium and Olympic Clubs, of New Orleans, for the proposed battle. Both clubs want tbe contest, and have determined to get it at any cost. It now transpires that the statement of President Dominick O'Malley, of tbe Audit orium, tbat his organization would make no effort to secure the fight, was to throw the Olympic th cm Is off their guard. 1 he latter were not deceived, and so the Auditorium neonle now announce that they will do every thing in their power to get the big fellows in their arena. Captain Williams, wno will represent the Auditorium Club at the con ference between Corbett and Fitzsimmons, is said to have left New Orleans.

Before leavine he wired a friend in New York that he is nrenared to top any bid in the way of a purse tbat President Scholl may make on bohall of tbe Olympic Club. He also said that he has in his possession a certi tied check for $35,000, which be will agree to deposit with any reputable sporting man or newspaper as a guarantee of the Auditorium's reliability, provided tornett ana ttz sign the articles of agreement he hands them. SCHOLL OS THE RIVAL CLUB. Speakingof the Auditorium Club, President Scholl said It will be time for them to ap pear in the matter when they pay Fitzsim mons the $37,000 they owe him for his fight with Choyuski. Wo made him an offer for tbat fight, and it, he had taken it he would have had his money.

They even owe Bowen about $()00 on his last fight." The party that will leave this city to-night for New York will be composed of Bob Fitz simmons, his manager. Captain Glori, and a select party of friends. The meeting will take place in the Herald office. Fitzsimmons is hopeful, but still dounttui tnat a match will be made to-morrow. Corbett wants to fisht in July, while Boh will insist upon the event being brought off in January or February, or not later than March.

1 hope we snail ne aoie 10 agree upon terms," said the champion middle-weight, and I will agree to any fair proposition tbat is made, but I anticipate tbat Corbett or Brady will spring some absurd propssition which nobody could agree to. tbe same as they did with Jackson in the Sioux City affair." Cantaiu Glori said the size of the stakes would rest with Corbett. He will make it for $10,000 or $50,000 a side. SPORTING NOTES. The All-Philadelphia Y.
