The event was unique, furnishing considerable sport and enjoyment to over 1 people, who gathered on the snore and the ice covered bay to witness the aftair. The Move! sight of the ucooters flying over the ice will long be remembered.

The race sia the beginning of a series of similar events in the future, and next winter will probably see several scooter clubs organized. The rae was originally set for February 7, but a 'warm spell opened the bay and necessitated the postponement of the race. There, were five inches of ice in the bay and a smooth surface. The warm February sun softened the ice as the day progressed, but th time of the winning boat. 57 minutes and 4j' seconds, for sixteen miles, was very fast.

Tho' preparatory gun was fired by Sanford Weeks at 11:55 A. M. and nine boats lined up at yhe starting line, in the following order: iiitf, William .1. st ill nf Piiti-hosue; Oran Wave. T.

Pitchers' Box Must Kot Be More Than 15 Inches Higher Than Home Plate. Chicago, February 24 Peace rctgued supreme at the joint meeting ot the American League and National League and the National Association of Minor Leagues. The purpose of the meeting was to arrange a set ot playing rules and a schedule. When the gathering adjourned last night a unltorrn toul strike rule had been adopted, a now section added to the rule regarding the make up of tho diamond, and an amendment added to the balk hall rule. With these changes and a few others ot minor Importance the committee decided that the rules were as perfect as could be and the to-day will be devoted to the formation of schedules.

When the committeemen assembled President James A. Hart of the Chicago National League Club was elected chairman and J. H. Farrell, secretary of the National Association ct Minor Leagues, was chosen secretary. After a little Informal discussion ot the rules.

Max l-'leischman of Cincinnati moved that the foul strike rule, as covered In the National League rules, be adopted. The tirst vote resulted 6 to 3 in favor of the motion.

NEXT CONGCESS AT CLEVELAND. Thomas Curtis Saya Restricting Weight of Bnll Means Death of Loaded Sphere.

(Special to the Kagle.) Indiunapolis. I February 24 I'VcHn rum high here against the bowlers of the Fast for the failure to attend the Howling Congress In the customary large numbers. The representation from New York would he lost were it not that it includes men Important in the orgaui- URtnn 9inco tt8 conception Thomas Curtis. Dr. II.

Timm and Jos Thiitn head the list. The other New York delegates arc H. J. Riddeil and Jess Dumjc. These two are the only Eastern entries in the national tournament.

C. Ehbets cf Brooklyn is expected here to-morrow. Thomas Curtis, the venerable Brooklyn bowler, succeeded In having his resolution, restricting the weight of Ihe ball to t'i'i pounds, passed ln the face of a long and impassioned speech of opposition by Dr. Timm. Tho latter wanted the hall to be exclusively of wood and Insisted that no loop hole should be left, open to load the ball even to the extent, of an ounce.

The doctor spoke of the unfair advantage secured by wlolderd of the loaded ball and predicted the deaci of the gnme if tampering with the ball was allowed. Cleveland was selected as the next, congress city through the combination of Buffalo, Erie, New Yc.rk and Cleveland and a split In the Chicago delegation. It was a compromise, choice. Cleveland was chosen in order to propitiate the Etist, which is expected to Bend a good entry list to so central a town. Thomas Curtis promised to have at lead; one Brooklyn quint nt Cleveland next year.

The convention was the most harmonious ln the nnuals of the congress. Presidcm Bookwalter held Ihe delegai.es well In hand and the work was done smoothly and well. A number of changes were made in the constitution In addition to the loaded ball legislation. Rule 48 was amended so that a dub niuy elther have a regular place of meeting or practice once every two weeks to be a member of the congress. Rule 50 was also amended by cutting out the words In the definition of a bowler, which say, "and who attends the regular meetings ot such clubs and engages tu bowling games played by It in regular This virtually legalizes all mushroom clubs, organized to "get the money," a d.i.iS of institutions lor Ihe annihilation of which the New York Bowling Association was purposely organized.

A resolution to abolish all advertising learns was defeated. "Father" Curtis was greatly pleased over the passage of his resolution limiting the w-eight of the ball lo pounds. "It ineam that there will be no loaded balls," he saol after tho congress had adjourned. "Tint weight of the balls turned out by tho manufacturers Is 15 pounds, and nothing can be gained by loading a ball with that small weight. Consequently, there will be tampering with the ball in future." The minimum weight of the pins was fixed at 3 pounds 2 ounces and tbe maximum at pounds, They must be made, of maple.

A commilt.ee on constitution w-as appointed to report to the session ot the eongrest next Thursday morning, when officers will he elected. il is said that County Clerk Price of Buffalo will be chosen as president. The natioual tuurnamcnt was opend last night, in Tomiinson's Hall and Mayor Book-waller made good all he had promised regarding accommodations for bowlers and spectators. The ten alleys glistened newness and light anil there were accommodations for three thousand spectators. Nearly all the seats on the main floor and in Ihe gallery were occupied when Mayor Bookwalter opened Ihe tournament with a speech of welcome.

A holiday crowd jammed Madisou Square Garden all day yesterday anxious to see the sights of the Sportsmen's Show. Bnlcony and floor space were bo full of eager humanity that the trip around tho amphitheater resolved Itself Into a good lesson In patience and self control. The exhibition Is now fairly well launched on what promises to be a most successful two weeks.

Exhibits are in place and different competitions under way. The facilities afforded for the fly casting trials this year are better I ban over before. Space between Island and shore Is wider, giving the angler a much freer sweep and play.

Rods are limited to 5 ounces, with an allowance of of an ounce for solid reel seat. The Indian cantata of Hiawatha Is now presented in more attractive manner than on tho first day. The orchestra and soloists are now on the Madison avenue end of the island in a bower of fir trees. There tbey enn be heard to much betler advantage. The dances of the aborigines In Ihe portrayal of the piece are decidedly novel and Interesting and before they are ended many of (he spectators would like to go down on the inland to war whoop and dance with them.

Especially taking was the red -'kin child-Hiawatha In his finished figures to the tune of the cold blooded tom-tom. The cantata Is given afternoon and evening. The exhibition of Indian relics end Navajo blankets In the concert hall is an Interesting fenture of litis year's show, as it. was of the exhibition held In 190i. The process of making the famous Indian production is Illustrated by native women and crude looms.

The large number of guides at the Bhow Is attracting tho attention of thorc who frequent the sporting districts of the country in search of recreation. 'Possum hunters and turkey callers from Virginia are making a hit as are tbe veteran deer stalkers from New Brunswick. The first of the canoe I ill ini contests lakes place In the lake to-night. H.

In tho third Couhig's rushes were met with swings on the jaw ana head. In the fifth Matthews put Couhig to the floor for the count with a vicious swing, but. when the crowd thought the battle over, Couhig arose and mixed matters. He was put down a second tiice, but came up unexpectedly strong. The sixth, seventh and eighth rounds wore comparatively slow, but in the ninth Couhig was put to his knees with a right on the jaw.

Appropriate Names for Some Promising Two Year Olds; Tichrnor Co. have found appropriate names for their 2 year olds. Tho brown filly, hy Dr. Rice Unfaithful will be known as Rlceful. the bay colt, by Florist Zarina as Illinois.

The colt bv The Commoner out of famous old Florence P. has been named Soldier of Fortune, and the colt by the same sire from Provident Foresight. So has Pat Dunne, who has always preferred brevity1 to wit when naming his youngsters. The names he has ehesen for his future bread winners are as follows: Bay colt by Star Ruby Beth-ula. Quest; brown colt by Bassetlaw Trov- ana, Tryon; chestnut colt by tho same sire and Bavaria, Lorenz; bay colt by Hindoo Alarm Bell, Lanark; chestnut colt by Fonso Mamie Flrbanc.

Ed Corrigan Is another owner who recog- nlzes tho advisability of short and distinctive names, though he did not make a very happy year on tllly by Indlo, hmlr. As to Shoes and Plates, another 3 year old denizen of his stable, ho i denies all responsibility, for bo says Green Mcrrls named the youngster before it be- came his rroperty.

I The Jockey Club rule doing away wllh all duplication or names has tone much In the past and will do more In the future to prevent confusion, but the registration clerk might go step further and refuse to recognize any names that are not distinctive. The custom of naming race horses with one or more Initials added to distinguish them from otner wen Known animals Is certainly repre- bcnslble so secretaries would do well to jc- fuse sin The era of prosperity Into which racing is now entering renders It Imperative that more attention should be paid to distinctive nomenclature. As far as the regulars and the handlrappers are concerned a horse merely designated hy a numeral Is good enough for them, nut the bulk of tho race course patrons during the coming summer will ha comparative novices. For their sake the use of Initials and numerals should be forbidden, as to this means of distinguishing the runners even such names as certain Chicago owners have unwisely chosen for their rolla are nref- erabie.

Considering that no race of its kind had-ever been attempted there was but little trouble in getting the boats ready at the starting line and exactly at noon the starting gun was fired. Under the rules the bots made a standing start. Each scooter was pushed off the line-by its captain, who, as soon as he got. his craft under way, was off like a shot. Each boat carried from one to three men, as ballast, the wind being fresh from tho southwest.

The course was triangular, two miles to each leg. and was sailed over three times. By some error the second outer mark was wrongly placed, which shortened the course about a mile, on each round, but, as all the boats sailed the same course it made no difference. The first leg or tho course was a dead beat to the southwest stake, which was set under the lee. shore, close to the Blue Point peninsula.

At the end of the first round Eagle led, closely followed by Mollie having finished the flnst round in twenty minutes flat. Icicle, Wyandotte and Fire Fly followed In the order named. The second round of the course found some of the beats dropping out. The pace was fast and the running gear of several of the boats could not stand the strain. Marie, picked as a winner, dropped out, and Vamoose withdrew.

Ocea'i Wave, which had a rudder and had been protested, also dropped out. Swan broke her gaff and withdrew. This left only five boate. Mr. Corwin.

who sailed Icicle, saw that the wind was dying out and dropped his mate. At the second rtake. on the second round, Wyandotte withdrew, leaving Eagie, Icicle, Mollie i. and Fire Fly. At the end of the second round of the course Eagle -l, with Icicle four minutes astern and Mollie B.

six minutes farther In the rear. Eagle completed the two rounds of the course in 3ft minutes. Tho final round of the race found Eagle and Icicle the only competitors. On the first two laps of this round Icicle gained nearly two minutes. In the run for home tho wind flattened Wd Icicle drew up rapidly on Eaglo.

The two scooters sailed the last fifty yards of tho race almost on equal terms. Icicle poked her nose In front as the finish was reached, but Skipper Corwin made the mistake of passing on the outer side of the finish line, while Captain Latham, hardly a second behind, crossed the finish line between Ihe barrels. Each scooter claimed tho contest. Captain Tlnuk Haft. Captain Tloraco N.

Raynor and a in Charles E. Rose, judges, decided, however, that Eagle had "won the and should be awarded the champion diip pennant. Tup second pennant, of course, went, lo Icicle. Skipper Latham kept his male, who liveighed 204 pounds, with him throughout he race, and this additional weignt told gainst him whenever he struck soft ice. The ictory was a pomilar one and Messrs.
