Miss Ethel Golding, long admitted by inhabitants of Bath Beach, where she resides, to he the best woman swimmer in Greater New York, went up to the York-ville Bath, in Manhattan borough, last night and defeated Miss Lily Kostcr, the, champion of the Yorkvilte Swimming Club.

Miss Koster's sister Emma was third. The distance was fifty two feet separating Miss Golding snd Lily Kostcr at the finish. There were other competitors in the race, hut they never had a chance. At the start Miss Golding obtained a slight advantage by stronger dive, but the race was very even for the first twenty-five yards, when the edd of the tank nas reached and a turn made. Then the Bath Beach swimmer began to lead and finally woo by about two feet.

The winner used a side stroke whieh seemed slow but very powerful, while Miss Koster swam with a more rapid double overhand stroke. Miss Golding has never been defeated. COHSTITDTION BREAKS RECOBDS.

The Columbia managed to defeat the Constitution yesterday by two minutes and five seconds in the forty-mile run of the New York Yacht Club. The new boat met with every kind of an accident, and it is wonderful that she wasn't beaten ten miles at least. To begin with, the new boat had considerable difficulty getting over the line, first on account of a catboat with a load of women insisting on crossing her bows. It was with difficulty tbe yscht cles red Not content with this, the tug Unique imitated the trick, and to avoid her the Constitution had to be gybed, and necessarily her headway was stopped.

The next misfortune to befall the cup defender wae of a more serions affair. She struck on Ledge Rock twice, loosening some of the plates on her leaden keel, and after this sagged off to leeward. It was not until the boat had been tied up at Newport that the real explanation of the new boat's defeat was given, snd then it wss the consensus of opinion that the new boat did wonderful under the circumstances. The yacht will be taken to Bristol to-day to be fixed up. The summary of yesterday's run follows? SLOOPS CLASS G.

to hare finished at the tail of the bunch. In fact, it looked as tbongh every lad in the saddle had set out to make this a record bieaking cross-and-jostle. Eloim was pacemaker and escaped interference. When Animosity got clear of her numerous entanglements she went for Eloim with all of the animosity and bottled vengeance of a scorned female. Little Thomson's ride on the filly was the comment of the crowd, winners and losers alike.

It was a masterly sit-still-and-chirrup performance, and breaths came more freely when be landed by the short measure the horse-placers were able to distinguish. The race of the day, The Seagate Stakes, with a really liberal chunk of money 2.Q00 added wak whittled down to a trio, as follows; Mile and furlong Gold Heels, a length, Bonnibert, five meaures, Vitcliius. The tip was soon abroad that General F. C. McLewee's good colt "Gold Heels was the good goods of the day.

But Bonnibert bad a following quite as large. There were rumors of the possibilities of split hoof in the case of Gold Heels, and the betting a good deal, first one being favorite, and then the other, in some books at least. Gold Heels haring the call in the early transactions, but the pair closing at the saiqp price and at-evens when the money changers rose. Bums bad the mount of Gold Heels, Shaw piloting Bonnibert. The former got a trifle the best of the start nnd ran in front all the way, winning under a drive, Bonnibert making a most desperate effort to get up.

Tho race was for threes exclusively, and the non-winning conditions gave Gold Heels a pull of ten pounds. It might be called a five-pound beating. The unpopularity of certain colors was seen to he extensire as the horses came struggling to the finish Bonnibert plainly to make game stand tor weight. There was an almost universal expression of, delight in my vicinity and words and comments better uttered on the hustings or in some political gatherings were given expression to. Mr.

Farrell may not know it, but some of the people who wagered money on his colt and lost said they were glad of it, and there were other expressions that need not be repeated here. On the 6ther band, Mr, McEltvee was surrounded by a congratulatingcrowf. He received the tributes showered upon him with becoming modesty. He said that he had backed his colt somewhat heavily, having full confidence in his ability to carry the Hioney under the circumstances To be exact, he said he had won in wagers 14,050. and Joe was called out Joe made bis hits when needed.

That two-bagger la the first jnnlng'was beauty god tended to prove to the rest of the team that Mattie wis easy. Jack Warner's throwing to bases was excellent, but the Champions worked him off his feet in the eighth. Mnthewson wag pretty easy tor Keeler, as Wee Willie got three hits to his credit. Two were beautifully placed bunts, while the other was a stinger to right. The New York fans have a pretty low estimate of Ganzel as a batter, for in the seventh inning after one man bad been retired and Ganzel came to bat some one shouted Two out! and the crowd laughed.

After the first inning had been played tlje hoy who attends to the score board up on the Polo Grounds put up 2 runs for New York and 0 for Brooklvn. The Brooklynites present promptly called his attention to the mistake and the game went on. A funny incident of yesterday's game was the actions of a New York rooter who occupied a seat in the grand stand. Inning after inning saw the Giants retired without the semblance of a run. and the expressions on his face varied from the confident, when the game started, to hopeful in the fifth inning, anger in the seventh and disgust In the last.

It was a bad series for Mathewson, as his reputation was considerably jaired Hi that he met defeat twiee. once being knocked out of the box. None of the other teams will fear him as much now as they did before this series. Eight of the Champions struck out and five of the Giants. The games with the Quakers will naturally he hard-fought contests, as Jennings will endeavor to prove that he knows more about the game than Kelley.

It looks as if the Champions should get four games of the six at least, for the Quakers are not batting and their pitchers don't look to be strong. Well. I guess were not out of the race yet, eh. said Manager Hanlon after yesterdays game. Let onr twirlers show a little good form, and well win out I am greatly pleased witb Kitsons fraud showing.

The St. Lonis team is running in hard Inck as regards accidents te its players. Padden, their second baseman, has met with anraccident, necessitating Donovan naing Jack Ryan at second. Nichols, another catcher, is playing in Heidrick's place in eenterfield, while Heydon, the new man, ia doing the work behind the bat. Chicago got bnt two hits off Harper yesterday, but errors permitted the Remnants to tally three runs.

BAXTER IN POOR FORM. Finishes Third to tho Leahy Brothers la Ireland Yesterday. J. K. Baxter, the American high jumper, failed to show anything like his real form at the games held at Cork.

Ireland, yester- 5 feet 10' inches, finishing third. Leahy and F. Leahy, the Irish stars, cleared 6 feet 1 inches and 6 feet 1 inch In the hurdles handicap, Baxter, owe 2 yards, beat Kraensiein, owe 18 yards, by 6 yards in 16 2-5 secondes. Ehomld Ministers Visit the Sleh? We are not able to agree with the Baltimore preacher who recently asserted that ministers, as a rule, do more harm than good when they visit the sick room. The ministerial visitor is represented as tiptoeing around with solemn nnd lngnbrions countenance, heaving sighs snd offering consolatory prayers, things, it is said, which are-often enough to make well man sick.

Pastoral visitation the sick might hare been of this order in times past, bnt it is the rare exception to-day. The ministerial profession is made np generally of intelligent snd sensible men, who realize as fully as any one ran do that inch' conduct as that described would be utterly out of place in sick room. It is nnfair and unjust to give out the impression that ministers' are a kind of pious-ogres Whose presence at the bedside of the sick and suffering is unwelcome and repellent. At a rule, the facts are the contrary 4f this. The pastoral visitant brings comfort, hope and rbeer to the weak and languishing, and his presence is often like a benediction rather than a source of gloom nnd depression.

Leslie's Weekly. A Cay et Coffee. -The first coffee house in Europe was opened in Constantinople by native of Aleppo, in 155L For some time it sotted as a mere rendexvons for gossips nnd idle people, bnt in the course of few years the house became so famous that it coaid not hold the crowds that flocked to it So great was the attraction that the mosques were neglected, and the Imanmt and Muftis made greet efforts to pnt down the new drink. A proclamation arainst coffee house by Charles II-. in 1675.

admitted, that the retailing of coffee and ten might be an innocent trade, bnt as it wss said to nourish sedition, spread lies, snd scandalize great men, it mighralso be a common nuisance. There it a tradition that the prior of a monastery in Arabia, having observed that the goats which browsed upon tbe coffee trees in tbe neighborhood became unusually brisk, resolved te try the effect of tbe bean upon his somewhat lethargic monks. According te the story It 'was little ices than msgicnL Family i Thrifty. A Canadian minister had last married a couple. The registers were signed, and nothing remained but the giving sad taking tbe fee.

The bridegroom, a strapping yonng fellow, asked: Ho much ia it? The parson glanced nt the smiling bride and slyly answered: Whatever you think it is worth. Now, it shonid have been worth a great deal, tor the girl was yonng nnd pretty. I reckon it's worth aboot 5 shillings. said the twain, holding oat two half crowns. The clergyman looked blankly nt the coin, then turned to tho fair one.

ITI leave it to you, madam. ho said. What do yon think it's worth?" What did this yonng and blushing bride do? She reached out, took the coins, handed one half crown to the minister and put tbe other into her pocket! A thrifty wife," said the ministefl, wuh 'ch. is hr bii'vn'i's rrown."

BEATEN BY TWO An Interesting Programme at thq Manhattan Beach Track To-Morrow Walter Smith to Raca George Schofield Elkes, Moran, Walthonr and Rost Are Also to Race for Fifty Miles Cycling Rewt of Interest.

SPRINGFIELD, July 26, "Jimmy Michael was defeated here last night by Harry Elkes in a twenty-five-mile motor-paced race. Elkes was wo and a half laps ahead at the finish. The time was 43 minutes 24 2-5 seconds. It was a practi cally even thing up to the tenth mile, when Michael's lfaotor went back on him and ha rode ithout help, allowing Eikes to get a decisive lead. Joseph Fulton, of Brooklyn, defeated George of Port Rich mond, L.

in a five-mile paced race; tima, 8 minutes 56 4-5 seconds. In a five-milo pursuit race I. G. Perry, of Springfield, won over R. H.

Alexander, of Hartford, by forty yards; time, 11 minutess 41- 2-5 seconds. Dan Sulhvaij and W. C. Dob bins, representing New York, won an un limited pursuit race over C. L.

Hollister and O. H. Mmie, representing Springfield, in three miles four laps. The'time was 8 minutes 4 3-5 seconds. The grestest race meet of the year will be held at Manhattan Beach bicycle track to-morrow afternoon, when, besides the National Circuit meet and the interesting ten miles motor-paced challenge race be tween Walter Smith and George Schofield, there will be held a fifty-mile motor-paced race with four starters Harry Elkes, Robert Walthour, Jimmy Moran and Arthur Ross.

Jimmy Moran, the Irish pace follower, haa been more successful than the majority of pace followers this year. The fact that the race is at fifty miles discriminates in favor of both Moran snd Ross, who have always shown their best form at distances over twenty-five miles. Harry Elkes is in great form just now, snd if pushed by "Jimmy Moran promises to break records. Major Taylor, champion' sprinter of the world, will be the main attraction of this, the first outdoor National Circuit mebt. Other contestants will be Tom Cooper, Frank Kramer, John 'T.

Fisher and twenty-five other riders. Taylor has demonstrated that although not invincible st middle distance psori racing, be still bolds all sprinters safe at nnpaced riding. Frank Kramer, whose partisans claim that he can defeat Major" Taylor, and Owen Kimble, the only American who -ever bent the Major in a championship race, will meet the Major in the open events. Not the least exciting of The day events will be the ten-mile motor-paced amateur race between Walter Smith, the schoolboy cyclist, and George Schofield, who brought this race about by challenging Smith after the latter defeated him on Manhattan Beach bicycle track two weeks ago. The National Circuit programme includes the following eventsr Half-mile professional championship; one-mile professional, 2:10 class; fire-mile professional handicap; one-third-mile open amateur; -one-mile handicap amateur.

Floyd McFarland, Tom Cooper snd Lester Wilson have demonstrated in late races that Frank Kramer has not the cinch upon the championship which many had tnppoaed when he started. Kramer was whipped by inches by McFarland in a semi-final of the championship at Providence. Cooper defeated Wilson by inches only in tbe other semi-final, and Cooper in tnra defeated McFarland in the final by inches. The three races were the greatest and closest sprint races ever seen. Neither of tbe three races were decided until the tope was reached.

1 Johnnie Fisher came into shape last Sunday. He is now ready to ride like old times. Fisher has been slow in getting into condition. Joe Nelson, a yonng brother of Johnnie Nelson, started training back of motor put on Monday last. Although the youngster has been training nnpaccd tor a month, he haa never been hpek of Joe Nelson is 18 years of age and Of the size ot Jimmy Michael.

In his position on hia wheel Joe copies his brother to dot, snd back of the motor he butts his head squarely into the back ot the rear man. Iiis un paced ridee of five milea have for weeks averaged twelve minutes, and bis first ten miles back of the motor averaged 1.52, Ho will spend two or three weeks in preparation. and will then enter upon a couple of weeks following pace ns an amateur, turning professional during August. Jimmy Michael and Eddie McDuffee, tho greatest rival of Michael in the old days, have been matched tor Revere Bom track. Boston.

Juat look at the attendance to-day as compared with that of every preceding day of the meeting! Just look at It and want right What we want.

away, and want bad, is a tunnel, and a tunnel we shall have in short order, if I have any influence with the authorities. Thus spake George Engeman to an at tentlvely listeniug throng yesterday George Engeman, once president, vice-, president, and, with Battersby, the hull push" of, the Brighton Beach racing institution, but whose relation therewith I at present is misty, although he daily stands between the long bar and the ring and, shakes hands with a large oonstitu- ency who seem to imagine him still the almoner of free badges. It was mildly suggested that the attendance was not bad as it was; that tho threatening weather might have kepFaway a few scores, and that the Bridge had not been, nor would the tunnel be, constructed with special refence to the exigencies and demands of race-track gnmbliug. The intimation was received with something In manner akin to scorn. As the day before tbo club enclosure was the hottest place this side of tophet, so, yesterday, was it 'the most frigid location outside the limbo of frost to which the Ancient Mariner made approach.

There was visible the coming end of the reign of -the straw hat, those of darker buc and heavier texture, albeit of an effete fashion, largely taking the place of the others. The yboxes were tenantless. Even steward Fol-Hansbee spent the between-race intervals in the club stand, and, when not argumentatively engaged with President Phil Dwyer Senator McCarren, looked melancholy -ittd lonesome. The Senator himself wore a heavy wrap of the ulster variety, and 'when congratulated on bis foresight and wisdom in the premises, shook off the 'ompiiment by admitting that he was no than bis brethren, the coat l.elong-ng to another entirely, and only borrowed jor the and at the track. Hitchcock and the cadaverous Vos-urgh were not visible between races at dl, and were supposed to be snugly in the warm retreat of the horse lacers, the morose McDowell and the labrous Pettingill.

The latter two are ever seen off their perches since the strict cgime of the Jockey Club became under- tood. Fomeriy-thege-otBciala looked out. I ad gadded more or less shout, shaking suds and renewing acquaintance and talk-ig horse wisdom' with the many who be-ime known to their envioud fellows as in irse society, through this species of harm-ss familiarity. But a change is over the tirit of the racing dream, and it ia now aderstood that for these paid upper ser-ints of the club to babble and talk ia oat tolerable and not to be endured om the modern Dogberrian viewpoint. Favorites and second choices, with the yriatioa of one of the rankest of outsiders the person of beating the attest of first selections in the person of iptain Sam Browns Hyphen, divided the xiceeds rather equitably it seemed.

furkmge Zirt, four measures; Fugnrtha, two of the same; Step Onward, lowed by twelve other youngsters of derate capacity, was the first event to 'tract attention," It "was to- feat of wis- ly on the pirt of the talent to pick out rl to carry the money away from this big Id. Barney Schrcibers black filly had record ail ready in the dope, and it was mitted all around that, in spite of the of the' contending crowd, the lines, as Monday last, bad fallen to her in pleas-t qiiacee. There was no pronounced ond choice to her eleven to "ten, Step Onward, Succasuna, Neither and Gibson Light seemed to have nething of a half-hearted and nibbling lowing at about sevens and eights, -bran rode the Western filly, and getting ay well almost a flying start went ut out and galloped the others into the nnd, O'Connor did the best possible on runner-up', Fugurtha, snd Wilkerson a hard at work on Step Onward ail ongh the stretch. That's about all to mid on this particular subject it furlongs All Gold, two lengths, Kinnikiuic, one measure, Himself, owed by Ores son, Knight of Bronx and ok weed. This was something of, an the educated money finding its way the bookies coffers through Kinni-c and the short price of 11 to 20.

All was in excellent shape end under ns' management safely landed the of 4 to 1. In the stretch the runner-ind Himself made strenuous ffforts to the leader, but they were ineffectual. early pacemaker was the 100 to 1 ice, Brookweed. Notwithstanding the ent superiority of All Gold's condition 1 form generally, Burns rode him out, ng for the nonce no chances what-. His riding in this instance was nnred with his later performance on hen, he suffering thereby.

The time, weight being considered in connec-tberewith, makes All Gold a fine per-ier. One hundred and twenty pounds ed along in that manner snd rate the old guard stare.

Yesterday's game at the Polo Grounds knocked all kinds of holes in the rumor business, and be-ides, once more proved that Hanlon knows a thing or two.

There was but one drawback to yesterday's game, and that nas that the contest did not take place at Washington Park, where the "fans could see just what a magnificent game Kitson did pitch. The mighty slugger? of the New York team just got one bit And that was of the scratch order in the first inning. Six Giants reached first base, two whom got to second, but never a foot i other. Brooklyn tw friers speed, eutves and command was perfect and the Giants were helpless in his hands. Once in the fourth inning it looked bad, but this nas owing to Umpire Dwyer's poor decisions on strikes and baits, for after Davis bad walked Selhach was clearly retired on strikes, but the umpire said nay and another man walked.

Kit pulled himself together nicely and the best the next two men could do was to send up foul flies, which were well attended to by Irwin and Kelley. The Champions, especially Sheckard. Irwin and Kelley, accorded Kitson grand support. Dolan took MtCreery's place in center field, as Tom was feeling unwell. Dolau accepted everything! that came bis credit out of the four times at hat, although he struck out twice.

i Mathewson, not satisfied with the rough treatment experienced at the hands of the Champions Tuesday, went into the box again yesterday and wag batted freely. Both Keeler and Kelley found Mattie pretty easy, the ease witb which the former placed his bits being remarkable. Charley Irwin had particularly bad luck with' the bat, for whereas he has no hits to hi credit, it was no fault of his that be didn't hsve three. Hickman made a great stop of his bounder over third base in the second inning, Davis made a wonderful play on Charley's smash over second base in the sixth, while in the fourth Strang made a good catch of a low liner from the new man's bat. It certainly as a tough day tor Irwiu, but things will eonte his way yet snd he will prove as good a player as is in the league.

Quite a crowd turned out to see the last game of the series, and as it was the Polo Grounds' naturally the Giants were at their best, but this mado no difference to the local team, and with the aid of Frank Kitson the Giants were treated to a cost of whitewash. Kelley began proceedings ia the first inning by smashing the -ball np the alleyway between the bieacheries and the half-dollar seats for two bases. Keeler bunted nicely towards third and went to second on Hickman's wild throw to first. Kelley scored oq the play. Daly's lick toward second base was a trifle slow, snd Davit threw him out at first, Keeler running to third.

Dah-len sent a liner to center for aa base and Keeler scored. Dolan was oat a first on his bounder to Strang. Ia the Giants half, Dahlea made a good play on Van Haltren's grounder, tad got his mao at first. Strang struck out easily. McBride hit a hot one towards the pitcher's box, which bounded off Kitson's glove and although Dablon made a great attempt nail the runner he failed, and thin was the sum total of the team's hits in the entire game.

Davis was an easy out on a fly to Sheckard. There 'Was no-mere scoring -until the eighth Inning, when Brooklyn tallied tao more. Hickman made a great running catch of Keeler's foul fly, but aa instant later dropped Sheckard'a pop tip. Sbeck stole second, and, went to third' oa a passed bail. Daly walked and immediately stole second.

Dahlen hit sharply to Davis, who threw home, but Sheckard by a beautiful slide got under Warner safely. Dahlea started to steal second, and Daly raced borne from third when Warner threw to Strang. Dolan fanned and Irwin raised a high fly in front of the plate', which Warner nailed. McGuiro began the last inning with a safe hit and went to second when Strang failed to hold Davis' throw on Kit-sons bounder. Kelley hit to Mathewson and McGuire was canght at third.

Keeler hit to Strang, and Kelley was forced st second. Kitson taking third. Sheckard singled prettily, snd Kitson scored. The G'snts wera retired in order in the ninth. Teir best chance of scoring came ia the fourth inuing hen after one min had been retired both Davis snd Selhach walked.

Kelley got Gansei's ffcul fly after a great run, and Irwin caught, Hickman's riser. In the eighth with one man out Van Hal-trau walked and went to second oa Strang's out. bnt Daly got McBnde't grounder, and retired the side. Score: BROOKLYN Six furlongs Disadvantage a 'neck, Hyphen, fouPkneasures, Ascension, followed by Golden Cottage, Five Rations and Star of the West. The above were the results of the six furlongs tor two-year-olds in which.

Captain Brown's crack was expected to roll home. Everybody who gambled at all thought 2 to 5 about Hyphen simply picking np money. There might have been circumstances beyond control, physical, perhaps, to have warranted this terrible knockdown of the talent, but they were not disclosed. Disadvantage having practically no pull in the weights tour pounds is nothing as between two animals of their comparative known merit ridden by Beauchamp, went out and won all the way, Burns on Hyphen making a waiting race until a gap was opened that a winged-horse could not have closed. It was a fast race, however, and, as before intimated, the public criticism might have been undeserved.

Mile and seventy yards Dolaado, three parts, Fatalist, five measures, Gold Fox, AlBike and Ninonia also running. Doladdo was favorite at odds-on 11 to 20 and skillfully piloted by Sbaw, lauded the money cleverly; Gold Fox being indulged with the lead until the last sixteenth, where Shaw was ready to come ou.
