I I I 2. 2 8 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE-MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2. 1896. RECORDS ON THE ALLEYS. WHAT THE TOURNEY BOWLERS HAVE DONE TO DATE.
Four Councils at the Top in the Race for the Eagle Cup-Individual Averages. Team Standing of the Local Competitions. No better evidence of the uncertainty of the game of tenpins can be given than the standing of the Royal Arcanum teams, which follows. Gilbert council, which has made high team average to date, has suffered one defeat. while four councils whose averages are considerably lower have won four straight to date.
Then, again, six teams which have averaged from 50 to 150 pins less per game. have won just as many victories as Gilbert. Up to last week both Gilbert and Fraternity had clean records, but they went down before Commonwealth and East. New York respectively, the latter making Fraternity a stepping stone to a position among the leaders. Perhaps the fault of Fraternity is that it uses too many men, but it is presumed that the bowlers are in for the sport, and every member of the bowling section to have a chance.
Commonwealth struck its gait last week and promises to be a factor in the race. De Witt Clinton won two games by low scores and it is reported that three changes will be made in its team next time it appears. The standard has been raised since last year, while the champions have shown a tendency to g0 back. Among the features of the individual bowling was the total of 232 rolled by Glendenning, Washington Ireing's anchor, who now leads in the race for high score prize. Fuller, Hager and Van Tassel of Gilbert, Brown of Fraternity and Niles of East New York entered the race for individual average prizes, Scharfenberg of Welcome losing three points, but still maintaining the good record of 175 for six games.
Holdridge of De Witt Clinton and Ketchum of Fern are almost on even terms in the race for most spares, with 24 and 23 to their credit respectively. It WAS great Week for clean games, no less than four being made. Butler of De Witt Clinton set the pace on Monday, a closely followed by Hager of Gilbert on Wednesday, while on Saturday night both Myerle and Brown of Fraternity did the trick. This week's games should be Interesting and may cause many Important changes. Tonight Bedford council, one of the quartet of leaders, meets Long Island and Prospect Heights, and if the latter puts up its proper game, the result will be close.
Wednesday Undine, Brevoort and De Forest weet, and the latter seems to have a walk over. Friday Alert, Ridgewood and Palm are scheduled, with a close fight promised between the first two. Saturday Pro Patria, Oxford and De Witt Clinton should roll a rather one sided series, and the champions, with their new make up, ought to get into the 800 class. The record of the teams and individual averages to date follow: Councils. Won.

At a meeting of the Societies for the vention of Cruelty to Animals, held recently in Albany, a resolution vas adopted condemning pigeon shooting from traps and without doubt an effort will be made at the next session of the legislature to have a law passed prohibiting such sport in New York state. Other states have had decisions rendered by the courts which decided that such sport was neither cruel nor inhuman and it has been suggested that a meeting of gun clubs be called in this state in order to secure efficient counsel at Albany to watch matters, so that no law pertaining to pigeon shooting can be passed without the knowledge of such clubs. There is a great difference in the manner in which pigeon shooting is conducted at the present day compared to some years ago and there can be real objections to the sport when carried on by true sportsmen. Let any one who considers pigeon shooting cruel go to any of the local grounds and witness a. contest and he will undoubtedly change his views.
Men who habitually shoot pigeons are provided with the best guns and use the best and most expensive ammunition. In these days of nitro powders, the gathering of wounded birds, of yore an art by itself, bas from disuse become almost obsolete. It is now a clean, sudden kill or else a miss altogether, and if a bird is only wounded with the first barrel second generally gives the coup de grace or else the trapper instantly kills the wounded bird. As a matter of fact, pigeons are much more bumanely treated than poultry huddled up in coops, carried head down by the legs and bruised banged about until eventually decapitated with a dull ax or sawlike knife. The cruelty of pigeon shooting is purely imaginary and not for a moment to be compared with that inflicted in the field by men who fire into a flock of game birds, killing a few and wounding many others that wander off to die a lingering death.
AT THE TRAPS. John Conner, Tennessee's crack clay bird smasher, took part in the three days' tournament of the Fulton Gun club at Atlanta, last week. On the first day he averaged 95 per on the second day 30 per and on the third day 93 per cent. The eighth annual prize shooting festival of the Hudson Rifle club will take place at Jersey City Heights on November 13, 14 and 15. The contest will be open to all.
Fifteen prizes will be awarded at the ring target and as many more at te bullseye targets, KEELY AND PLUMMER MATCHED. The following cable was received Police Gazette office yesterday: "Olympic club of Birmingham will give $2,000 purse for Plimmer and Sammy Kelly. Allow the latter $200 for expenses."

H. K. ROE'S NEW RECORDS. HE REDUCES THE TRACK FIGURES FOR 5 AND 10 MILES. Great Performance by the Speedy Rider.
What the Patchogue Wheelmen Say About a Triangular -Miss Bockelman Makes a Fast Century. Patchogue, L. November 2-Henry K. Roe, the champion rider of the Patchogue wheelmen added another state record to his credit at the Patchogue track last Saturday afternoon, covering ten miles in 22 minutes and seconds, breaking the former state record of 24 minutes. In this trial Roe also broke his own recent state record of 11:19 4-5 for five miles, doing the distance in 11 minutes and 11 seconds flat.
which is within seconds of the world's record of for the five miles. Roe was paced by four tandem teams and three triplet teams, who alternated in setting the pace. The record is remarkable, as Roe has practically been out of training for the past three weeks and is pounds heavier than when in top notch racing trim. He was bent cn making new figures for the ten miles and after a brief warming up started out for the record. The track was in fair condition for the trial.
A strong wind had been blowing all day. It had moderated considerable at the start and before the finish bad almost died out. The start was a flying one. Nat Roe. Jerome Ackerly and Clarence Ruland on the triplet carried him the Arst mile, which was done in a new record for that distance on the Patchogue track.
Woodruff and Bailey on a tandem then pulled him along for two laps, after which came Johanknech and Walter Conklin for another two laps. The two miles were covered in the three miles in four miles, 8:50, and the five miles in 11 minutes and 11 seconds. A mighty cheer was given Roe when the five mile Agures were announced by the timers. He had broken his own record for five miles and that was enough to satisfy the two hundred interested spectators. Terry, Kelly and Ruland on the triplet, Homan and Furlong on a tandem and Bert Conklin and Losee on a tandem were then put in to pace Roe.
A fresh triplet team, Terry, Woodruff and Nat Roe, were put on at the last mile. They could neither shake nor tire Roc, and on the turn for home be spurted by the big machine and beat it out at the tape by three lengths. The score of each of the last five miles was as follows: Sixth mile, seventh mile, elghth mile, ninth mile, tenth mile, Every record of the Patchogue track from one mile up to ten was shattered. Dusk began to settle upon the seventh mile and the Anish was made in the dark. The average rate of speed the first five miles was 2:14 1-5, and for the entire ten miles 2:17 2-5.
The timekeepers were George Beneham, Samuel J. Wright and H. C. Dare; scorers, J. F.
Flugrath and W. R. Marran. This new record will probably be sent to the League of American Wheelmen officials. Roe's recent five mile record of 11:19 4-5 has been sent to the state racing board and will no doubt be enrolled in the league record book.
Roe's friends are confident that he can still further lower these ten mile Agures and are willing to wager that be can beat the world's amateur records for both the five miles and ten miles. Later be will make an attempt at the flfteen, twenty and twenty-Ave miles records. Roe, when in condition. is without doubt the fastest amateur on Long Island, if not in New York state, in competition on the track and road, and also in record trials paced against time. If he can cover five miles in 11:11 his friends are sure he can lower considerably the road record of 11:31 3-5 made by Relyea, the Kings County wheelman, on Saturday last.
AS TO THE MATCH RACE. There is considerable discussion going on in wheeling circles as to the probabilities of the Kings County wheelmen accepting the challenge of the South Brooklyn wheelmen for a match race. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the Kings County wheelmen boyg are under no obligation to accept the challenge, and the probability is that they will not do it. Their claim has been. right along that they would have nothing gain in racing with the South Brooklyn team, which they beat in the Eagle cup race, and that they would like to race the Patchogue wheelmen who won the prize, but, at the same time, they felt that the latter club had won its honors and should be left in undisputed possession until next year.
The Kings County wheelmen will not decide whether or not they will accept the challenge the meetIng of the beard of governors next Thursday evening, but the sentiment of the leading is against the acceptance of the challenge. The Patchogue end of the matter is well treated in an interview with J. Frederick Flugrath, the chairman of the racing committee of the club. He says: "The Patchogue wheelmen have read with no little interest the published reports of the challenge of the South Brooklyn wheelmen to the Kings County wheelmen for a ten mile road race. The Patchoguers as members of the Associated Cycling Clubs would be glad to encourage such a race, as it would no doubt satisfactorily settle the question of supremacy among the Brooklyn clubs.
Patchogue has no choice and expects the best team to win. Ther have also noticed the sugesstion that the winners of the road race of October 24 take part in a contest with the Kings County wheelmen and South Brooklyn wheelmen teams. While they would gladly accede to such an Invitation, yet they cannot see any need for making it a three cornered contest. The Patchogue team unquestionably proved their superiority the open race on October 24, the three members of the regular racing team, H. K.
Roe, Nar Roe and Ruland, who were not in the best of form and with no knowledge of the road upon which the race was run, scoring more points than any other team of four men. This fact, it is believed, was a practical demonstration of title to the championship until next spring, at least, when they will undoubtedly defend the cup. The Patchogue wheelmen would have everything to lose and nothing to win in a contest with the Kings County or South Brooklyn teams. They are content to rest on their hard earned laurels and watch the others talk or race." A FAST CENTURY. There is no more enthusiastic wheelwoman in the city than Miss M.
L. Bockelman, the captain of the Union Cycle club. She bast the century run babit fully developed, and rode 100 miles yesterday in seven houra and ton minutes, counting only the actual riding time. This is excellent time for a woman. the best time for a man being that of Tom Hall, who just about one year ago- -October 31-rode a century over the same course in 5 hours und 22 minutes actual riding time.
or 6 hours and 15 minutes elapsed time. Miss Bockelman's elapsed time is not given. She was paced by two riders of her club, Oscar Weinbold and Richard W. Jones. TEN MILE MATCH RACE.
Two members of the Freeport Bicycle club participated in a match race on Saturday. They were Charles Bedell and Jacob Post. They started in opposite directions and rode around the triangle formed by the Merrick road and the roads running from Milburn and Freeport to Hempstead. It is a distance of nearly ten miles. Post won easily, making the distance in about twenty-eIght minutes, while Bedell's time was about thirty minutes.
The start was at tho corner of the Merrick road and the Hempstead road in Freeport. Warren Bedell a and Albert Bedell were the judges, and John Golding and E. A. Dorlon timers. RACES AT GLEN COVE.

November 2-The Glen Cove wheelmen will have three road races tomorrow morning, a quarter mile scratch. half mile scratch and a handicap race twice around! the Dosorls course, a distance of eleven miles.

High School and Pacific Athletic Club the Most Important Local Games. Those who saw the close struggle between the Irving club and Stevens Institute some weeks ago will confidently expect to witness a hard game at Eastern park to-morrow. The Rutgers team is in the same class as Stevens, being.
perhaps, considerably stronger, and Irving will match its strongest eleven against the New Brunswick collegians. The club men have always Agured in most excellent foot ball games on election day and they have not been defeated upon that occasion since 1893, when the high school vanquished Irving by a score of 4 to elevens year the New Jersey Athletic club was the victim of Captain Drakeley's team.

Suppose I wish to vote the straight Republicun ticket except that I prefer one supreme court Judge of the National Dernocracy, I put EL mark against his name in hiy column (as well ag 8 cross in the circle at the head of the Republican column.) Now which Republican supreme court candidate does that leave out? It is manifest that if I should not put an against the three I wish to vote for on the Republican ticket the canvassers would not know which one I intended try throw out, and some people renson that the whole four should be thrown out because the voter has only expressed an explicit Intent for the one on the National ticket.
Others sAy that marking all the Hupreme court candidates would Indicate 3 marked ballot and throw the whole ballot out. Give us the rule, quick. Brooklyn, November 2, 1506. A B. C.

NOTES. Trick 1. Although he had but three trumps, South has only one thing to play for, to make his big club suit. He therefore takes the chance that his partner, the dealer, 18 long in trumps, and, having the ace turned, can get out three rounds. South completes his call on the second trick, with the six of diamonds, and the rest la easy.
The same result would be accomplished if South trumps with the two of hearts, leads queen of clubs to show his suit and then leads king of trumps, but the play given above is the best way to treat the hand. North and South at another table made but seven and at two others but eight tricks as a result of not trying to play for all there was In the hand. to entertain the players resulted as follows: November 19-Lincoln club. December 3-Midwood. December 17-Ridge.
January 14-Knickerbocker Field. January 28-Hanover. February 11-Union League, February 25-Hamilton. March 4-Carleton. March 18-Irving.
The season will therefore open on Thursday, November 19, at the Lincoln club, and finish at the Irving club March 18. There is great interest shown in this tournament, and the various teams are getitng in readiness for the struggle. As the play will be conducted under the Mitchell-Howell progressive plan it cannot be determined until the last game who the winners are likely to be and therefore the Interest will be better maintained than under any other system of play. The following two deals occurred at the Brooklyn Whist club last week and are good illustrations of opportune trump leads. In the first Mr.
LaVie, playing south, made one of his bold strokes for which be has become famous and gained four tricks, as follows: Spades--K, 0, 6, 4. Hearts--A, 10, 7, 5. Clubs--J, 9. Diamonds--K, 9, 5. Spades -Q, 3, 2.

and E. and NOTES. East has an established suit (hearts), four trumps, two of them honors, and the ace of diamonds as a re-entry card. The only way to make what the hand Is entitled to Is to open with trumps as given above. The fallure to do lost every east and west players from one to six tricks.
Or course the cards may not always be distributed favorably for the 'success of such a venture, but it cannot be achleved without the proper effort. The rule to always lead trumps from four with an established suit and one card of re-entry le one of the safest for whist players to follow, and it seldom results unfavorably.

SANG STAINER'S CANTATA. Musical Service at the Classon Avenue Presbyterian Church.
The large audience which filled the Classon avenue Presbyterian church last evening heard one of the best musical services that have been given by the leading choirs of the city this season. The special attraction was the cantata, "'St. Mary Magdalene," which was announced in the Eagle to be sung by the choir of the church. The work is 01e rarely heard and contains much that is delightful to the ear. Among the notable selections as rendered last evening were the song, Woe is Me," soprano, angel's song for contralto, Thou, Magdalena;" the unaccompanied portion of the chorus, "Come Ye, Sin Defiled and Stricken;" the tenor air, Thou that Weepest;" the bass solo, "She Stands, the Cross of Shame Beneath;" the trio for soprano, contralto and bass, Jesu, Despised and and the contralto solo and chorus, "He is Not Here." The cantata is in three scenes.
Scene I Is entitled "The Magdalen' in the House of Simon;" scene II, "'The Magdalen by the Cross;" scene III, "The Magdalen at the Tomb." The soloists were Miss Jessamine Hellenbeck, soprano; Mrs. Kathrene Cavannah Parker, contralto; Joseph Bensel, tenor; Adolph B. Rodenbeck, bass. The following select chorus assisted: Misses Ella W. Clements, Elsie Ray Eddy, Mabel M.
Gould, Estelle Sprague, Etta Denham, M. F. Hawley, Harriet B. Cavannah, Messrs. E.

Republicans Quoted as in Favor of True Democratic Principles.
A. S. Halght, Brooklyn, N. Dear have acknowledged yours of October 30. I now beg to thank you for giving it publicity.
You have made a rare plece of political bric-n-brac and have done me a great favor. I respectfully auggeat, however, that courtesy and cogency go hand In hand, The lack of the former In your letter accounts, possibly, for the absence of the latter. It Is easy to show from past residence, present occupation and other business and one personal re connections that my relation to the Second district and its Interesta la closer than thnt of many, if not most of its realdents. Your comments on "Bank currency" have amused the bunk officers, Republican and Democrat, whom I have shown them. How arose the nationnl bank currency? Was that the act of the states or of the nation? Please read Rection VIII, article 5, and section article 1 of the Constitution of the United States.
Your assumption to what I would Ray About government notes if "asked to be specific," and As to my Intentions on the tariff exists only In the painted chambers of your imagination. I point out to you that the first and largest of the recent annual national deficits was under the MoKinley bill: In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, this deficit was $69,803,260.58, though that same year public expenditures were reduced $15,952.674. Early in the next fiscal year (August 28, 1894, the socalled Wilson bill took effect. Under it the defcit has grown anually less: $42,805,223.18 in fecal year ending June 30, 1895; $25,403,245.70 in fiscal year endIng June 30, 1896. I urge you to read the article, "Causes of the Deficiency of the Revenue," by Edward Atkinson, printed in Bradstreets of September 19, 1896, and to publicly show where It Is wrong.
Your statement cotton is interesting, but not quite correct. See circular No. 1, Unlted States department of agriculture, publiabed July 24, 1896, page 6, table at bottom of the page. I commend to you the following words from the sixth message of President Grant, 1874: "Those articles which enter Into our manufactures and are not produced at home It seems to me should be entered free." Kindly consider also this statoment of President Garfleld, made April 1, 1870: "I am for protection which leads to 'ultimate free trade." Then study these words and their context from President Arthur's second message, 1882: "'The present tariff system is in many respects unjust. I recommend an enlargement of the free list so as to Include withIn it the numerous articles which yleld any considerable revenue, a simplification of the complex and inconsistent schedule of dutles upon, certain manufactures, particularly those of cot-: ton, Iron, and steel, and a substantial reduction of the duties upon those articles and upon sugar, molasses, alik, wool and woolen goods." Do you regard these men 88 having been dangerous.
I regret. that you did not see. fit to quote these words from my letter of acceptance, "In reducIng these principles of taxation to practice, they should have such moderation of treatment 8.8 any commercial question would receive from buslness men." Yours truly, (Signed) WILLIAM C. REDFIELD. Brooklyn, November 2, 1896.
R. W. Bainbridge Also Replies to Mr. Haight Mr. A.
S. Haight, Brooklyn, N. Dear sir I have just finished reading your letter to William C. Redfield, and I you have fairly earned the title of Denis M. Hurley's "Burchard." I esteem Mr.
Redfield as a high class patriotic citizen, and I learned to respect him for his able and loyal work of a year ago, relating to the greater New York bill, which work was vitiated by the perfidy of your own party, both in the legislature and In the approval given to the measure by Governor Morton. The work. which occupied your time since October 22, which prevented you from replying to Mr. Redfeld and which could not be postponed, at least some of it, might well have been neglected by you, inasmuch 8.8 It has brought you into contempt with many of our citizens, whose good opinion most men would value highly. I refer to your effort to turn the co*ckran meeting on Friday night.
last into a Hurley-Fisher boom. The methods adopted by you the misrepresentations employed by the pretense of representing working men whose names you falled to send to the committee, as requested, for the best of reasons, no doubt, were easily disposed of, and your effort to get Mr. co*ckran a complete fallure, because of the basis of your claims. ran up against a stone wall and you don't know yet how much you are hurt. But the: congressional convention of the Second district satisfied to nominate Mr.
Redfeld, why should J'ou object, especially as you are not in that district? I have not word to say against Mr. Hurley, assuming that your party has puts Lta best material in nomination. just as the National Democracy has done; it becomes 2. question of men, both of whom are well known, and the people will decide as to which man is abler to disCUSS and pass upon the economic questions as business men, and not as partisans. We can at least hope that our next congress will :80: act.
I think Emerson wrote "Consistency 18 the bugbear of little minds," and In view of the fact that you accuse Mr. Redfield of being Inconsistent, Mr. Redfield win, I hope, consider that part of your letter complimentary. I think most sound business men appreciate the necessity of divorcIng banking from government, inasmuch as the government is only permitted to do a single function of banking-namely, Issue. I think, also, that.
most sound busines men will laugh at your statement that the $350.000,000 of United States notes outstanding have been used by the people without payment of interest, because they know that Interest on the bonds sold on account of gold reserve from 1877 to 1896 amounts to or, net, $287,473,563. This government will create a bank currency when it creates laws under which bankg can issue to an extent that will meet the demanda of commerce, and make unnecessary the holding of 8 gold reserve of $100,000,000. It would be much better for the government to lasue bonds bearing 3 per cent. interest to retire the redeemable notes, which the banks could buy for the of. de positing with the government to guarantee their own Issue, than for the government to issue bonds at and 5 per cent to protect its gold reserve.
I think no fair minded man wlil hold elther Grover Cleveland or the National Democracy responsible for the present tariff, nor will any business man consent to a general revision of the tarim, if special measures can be passed to increase the revenue or reduce the expense of the government. Your party can no longer trade silver legislation for McKinley bills: hence, party lines must be broken and the spirit of patriotic duty must right the wrongs of eight years of reckless rivalry for leadership, and prodigal, riotous waste 'of natlonal substance. I differ so widely with you on the causes of past troubles that I will not tale space here to elaborate, but I will state that I hope class legislation will never again be considered by a United States congress. Any tariff bill must protect, but if it is made with that end In view, according to the dictates of manufacturers, as McKinley bill was, it will not afford a permanent revenue; on the other hand; if it is made with a view to producing revenue with protection Incidental, then it will be permanent and the Issue of tariff divorced from politics; something you don't want so long As you can fool the laborer; in which respect, how ere you any better than Mr. Bryan? Mr.
Reddeld Is a manufacturer and well able to work intelligently on that issue. Intellgent men of both partles are not far apart on that issue, except In the minds of politicians, who Insist on calling the next to the highest tarIf we ever had free trade. I did not know that the beat men of the Democratic party were In the ranks' of the Republican party: I have not met who will vote for Mr. MclUnley, except as they would take a big dose of medicine for a disordered aystem. The honor you offer LO loyal Democrate would be better graced by a man who would not attack one of the very flowers of the National Democracy, one who enjoys the confdence and reemect of its trusted leaders.
