CONSTABLES WERE THE STARS torpedo boats. He thought there was no occasion for any "increase as there no. prospect for war. with any power. It had been shown by vote that the senate was opposed to additional taxes and a deficit was FORTY SEVENTH THE WINNER.

THIS IS HORSE SHOW WEEK. PASSED. Tote of 157 For and 81 Against a Uniform System. WITH TWO BRIEF AMENDMENTS Substitutes Eliminating the Involuntary Defeated It Is Based on the Torry Bankruptcy. Measure Eight Acts for Which a Debtor Can Be Forced Into Involuntary Bankruptcy.

Senate Passes Naval Appropriations. Washington, D. May 2 The house to day, after five days of debate, passed the Hen derson bill, to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy by a vote of 157 to 81. The ma jority In favor of the bill was greater than Its friends anticipated, owing largely to the fact that' quite a number of members, who desired only a voluntary bankruptcy bill, after being defeated, voted for the measure as rev port. There were but two amendments, one important; the other making the non payment of a note for thirty days an act of bank ruptcy.

Two substitutes for the bill, both eliminating the involuntary features, were defeated, one by a vote of 89 to 120, the other 112 to 128. The bill as passed, is based upon the Torry bankruptcy bill, which has been urged before congress for several years. It provides lor both voluntary and Involuntary bankrunt cy. tinder its terms there are eight acts for which a debtor can be forced into voluntary Danicruptcy, as follows: If a person has concealed himself with intent to defeat his creditors for forty eight noura. 2.

Failed for thirty days while insolvent to secure the release of any property levied upon lor 1500 or over. '3. Made a transfer of any of his property wltn. intent to defeat his creditors. 4.

Made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. 6. Made while insolvent a transfer of any of his property for the purpose of giving a preference. ,6 Procured or suffered a judgment to be entered against himself, with intent to defeat his and suffered same to remain un paid ten days. 7 Secrete any of Ms property to avoid its being levied upon, under legal process against Himself.

8 Suffered, while insolvent, an execution for five hundred dollars or over, to be returned no property found. Just before adjournment the report in the contested election case of Thorpe vs. McKln ney, from the Fourth Virginia district, in favor of the contestant, was adopted without division ana Mr. Thorpe was sworn In. In the debate Mr.

Hepburn Ia.) denounced the bill as a fraud on its face and Mr. Bartlett N. defended the measure and challenged Mr. Stone's state roent tnat there was no demand for this legislation. In an intermission Mr.

Hitt, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, called up and had passed without objection the senate bill passed yesterday, appropriating $75,000 for the expenses of the Behring sea commission in its deliberations at San Francisco. An amendment offered by Mr. Mahon Pa.) to compel the petitioners in an Involuntary proceeding to file a bond sufficient to cover damages and costs in case the. petition is dismissed was adopted, 48 to 43. W.

A. Stone Pa) moved to strike out the involuntary features of the bill; defeated, 72 to 102. Various attempts to strike ouf certain acts of bankruptcy provided in the' bill were also defeated. Mr. Henderson, in charge of the bill, closed the debate and at 4 o'clock, under the special order the bill was reported to the house, under the agreement, Mr.

Bailey (Dem. Texas) and Mr. Brodericlc Kansas), offered two substitutes each for a voluntary system of bankruptcy. Mr. Bailey's substitute was defeated on a rising, vote, 89: to 120.

Mr. Broderlck's. substitute, which was substantially a bill for a voluntary system of bankruptcy reported by the senate committee, also defeated on an aye and no vote ai2 to 128. W. A.

Stone Pa.) moved to recommit the bill to the judiciary committee with Instructions to report the bill back amended so as to confine the involuntary features of the bill to the cases of actuaT fraud. The motion was lost, 88 to 11(5. The bill was then passed. At 5:15 P. M.

the house adjourned. The Senate Reduces the Number of Battle Ships From Four to Two. Washington, D. May 2 After a week's debate, which has taken a wide range, the senate to day passed the naval appropriation bill. The entire day was given up to the subject.

A large part of the time set apart for general debate was devoted to the political questions foreign to the Immediate subject This was participated in by Mr. Wolcott, who conr plaiued of an extravagance in governmental expenditure, which would continue the issuance of bonds; by Mr. Gorman, who accused the administration of an unduo Interest in the elections in Maryland last fall, and by Messrs. Lodge, Hawley and Vilas. The bll las It passed is substantially as it was reported from the committee on appropriations except for the reduction of battle ships from four to two.

Vhe senate refused to accept Mr. Chandler's amendment chang number and character of torpedo boats, but agreed to the change suggested by the conimlttee. An amendment was adopted providing for construction cf three of these vessels on the Pacific coast. The senate refused to reduce the number of seamen authorized by the house bill. Mr.

Hltt succeeded In securing an amendment authorizing the detail of revenue cutters for tne protection of persons attending regattas. In the earl debate Mr. Wolcc tt was' opposed to the Chandler amendment, saying there had been no Investigation by the com Brittee regarding the proposed Increase. He Referred to a remark which Mr. Chandler had Bmade in general indorsement of the secretary of the navy.

This indorsement fallowed, he said, closely upc Mr. Sherman's indorsement of the secretary of the treasury so that It vas beginning to look as if the admlnistrs. tlcn was to be supported on the Republican elde an attacked on the Democratic side. Mr. Wolcott continued by saying that ho had besn Impressed by Mr.

cGrnian's pleo for economy. There was a fair prospect that the unfortunate Venezuelan incident would end peacefully and he thought the administration's wise conjduot of the Cuban matter had avoided the probability of war with Spain. Mr. Hawley said it was ludicrous to talk of a war of aggression by this country, but that the navy was shamefully deficient in essential particulars. Mr.

Lodge complained that the navy had been selected for the exercise of economy when other appropriation bills had been allowed to go through without objection. He said the danger of trouble on account of Cuba was not yet passed and that by preparing ourselves for the preservation of peaco we might dictate the policy of the two American con tinents. Mr. Gorman. In reply, Miontended that the naval bill furnished the first instance of appropriations not necessary for the support tne government.

He declared that he had taken the same position on this bill that he Vould have taken If a Republican administration had been in power, and referred to the fact that Secretary Herbert had complained of restrictions upon him which had been made at his (Gorman's) instance a year ago. He said that a year ago the secretary or his assistant had gone Into his newspapers and denounced him (Gorman) personally for the part he had taken In these restrictions. Thi migjht have heen on account of the Interest the administration was taking at that time In the' 'Maryland elections. Mr. Gallnger offered an amendment appropriating $600,000 tor the construction cf a dry deck at the navy yard at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and spoke in support of the amend.

It was ruled out on a point of order. At 2 o'clock' the agreement as to the time to be consumed went Into effect and the debate proceeded on Mr. Chandler's amendment under the five minute rules. Messrs. Chandler, Call, Peffer and Sherman spoke under this regulation.

Mr. Call advocated liberal appropriations and Mr. Peffer said he was opposed to any Increase of the navy beyond the proper requirements. Mr. Sherman said the country was In no condition to adertake any unnecessary expenses and the ouse cad made sufficient provision for wvouse had made sufficient Drovifdon for FATE OF FOUR WOMEN DELEGATES SECRETLY CONSIDERED.

Cleveland, May 2 Aside from the Episcopal address, which was read by Bishop Warren of Denver, there was nothing of special interest in the second day's proceedings of the Methodist Episcopal general conference. The four women delegates who are likely to prove a bone of contention, continued to occupy their seats and vote same as the men delegates, but their fate will probably be decided at a secret committee meeting which is being held this evening. Upon the report of this committee, which will probably be submitted on Monday, the fight of the conference Is to be made and It Is not likely that much other business will be transacted until that question is disposed of. Dr. Lory M.

Belt of Ohio brought a measure of the laymen on the floor. As the church stands at present, nine separate collections aro taken up each year for the benefit of certain benevolences. These are two frequent, think the laymen, and they also desire to consolidate seme of the papers. Dr. Belt moved the appointment of a committee of laymen and clergymen from each district and throe at large, to consider the feasibility of simplifying the benevolences.

Dr. Smith moved that all papers and resolutions on this subject be referred to the regular committee on temporary economy. Dr. Belt would not permit this, and Dr. Smith's motion was laid on the table.

The first skirmish was won by the laymen. Mr. Hynett wanted to add one clergyman and one layman from each society to the committee. Dr. Buckley opposed this and made a humorous and vigorous address.

Dr. Hynett's amendment was laid on the table and Dr. Belt's motion was carried. All Information on this subject was ordered referred to this committee. Dr.

Homer Eaton of Troy, N. presented a resolution providing for the appointment of five on memolrB of officers who have died In the past four years, and Dr. C. H. Payne of New York offered one authorizing the appointment of a committee of five on fraternal delegates.

Bath resolutions were adopted. At 10:30 o'clock Bishop Warren of Denver commenced the reading of the Episcopal address. It was ten thousand words In length and was in the nature of a report on behalf of the board of bishops to the conference. It em bodied an exhaustive review of the work of the conference during the past four years. Reports were contained concerning the missionary work, Sunday school, church extension, freedman's aid bureau work and on the subjeot of discipline and concludes as follows: "The world will come to se this when human thoughts grow large enough.

Abhorrence of sin will be measured by the' cost of redemption therefrom. Men will, become great as they are holy, Godlike as they labor for the most men, and for more than world wide interests. Then shall national diplomacies not pertain merely to little Islands but to universal brotherhood. We shall cease to regard the gospel of Christ as a theory; a system of doctrine, a pardon once a bestowal of joy, a means of getting to heaven, and regard it as Paul did as a power a power of self, and work for others unto salvation, present' and eternal. Then shall the church, redeemed, not by corruptible things as silver and gold, but by the precious blood of Christ, go joyfully and triumphantly to the accomplishment of the great commlslson given to It by the Master in the hour of His ascension to 'go into all the world and preach the gospel to every At the conclusion of the address the conference adjourned.

The committee on eligibility, which was appointed at yesterday's session to consider the question whether the women delegates shall be permitted to sit in the conference, met this afternoon at the First M. E. church. The entire. afternoon was devoted to a dls bussicAMnsjfcjteh opponents of the women took ra leaning! part.

The Rev. Dr. Buckley took the lead in opposition to the seating of women. He said.lt would be In violation of teh.coristitutlon,. doubly so because at the last general conference an amendment had been proposed to the constitution, that amendment having been submitted to the annual conference In the meantime and defeated, Buckley said he did not oppose giving women the.

right to vote, on the supposition that, the right 'to vote would mean the right to be voted for, for It often happened that the latter right did not go with the former. The Rev. Dr. D. H.

Moore of Cincinnati spoke in favor of seating' the women. After discussing the question until 6 o'clock the" committee adjourned to; meet at 7:30 in the evening. The evening session was strictly secret. It was understood that two reports will be reported, the majority favoring the seating of women and the minority opposing it. FOR MC KINLEY BY A RISING VOTE.

FORTY THREE MISSOURI DELEGATES SOLID FOR THE OHIOAN. Kansas City, May 2 The Republican county convention to select forty three delegates to the state convention at St. Joseph, May 12, convened here to day. During the progress of temporary organization, Major Warner presented a resolution Indorsing Major William McKinley as the convention's unanimous choice for presidential candidate. Intense enthusiasm followed the mention of the Ohloan'B name and after the cheering had subsided the resolution was adopted by a rising vote.

The forty three delegates to the state convention will doubtless be Instructed to vote as a unit for McKinley. Later the convention again went wild when a resolution was presented instructing the delegates for Chauncey I. Fllley for national commlteomau. It also was adopted by a rising vote. St.

Bradley received a scalp wound, which was dressed by Surgeon Robinson, from St. Catharine's hospital. 6,000 PEOPLE ON ELLIS ISLAND.

Thirty six hundred people went to meet and greet the 2,400 immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island yesterday. That the visiting were orderly was evidenced by tho fact that three gatemen 3rennan, McDonald and Gilmour kept them within the prescribed limits for visitors. Commissioner Senner thinks that but one visitor should bc permitted to cross to Ellis island to meet each Immigrant and would like to see some legislation by which a a cent ferriage would prove a restriction on visitors.

A CLEVER PICKPOCKET THIS. THE STRANGER WHO WAS ARRESTED AT MR. OFFERMAN'S FUNERAL.

Tho police have discovered that Charlos Marks, the young man who was arrested a pickpocket at the funeral servicos of the late Henry Offerman on Schermorhorn street on Friday afternoon is really Charles Samuels who has Berved time for picking pockots in Jersey City. Samuels gave his addross when arrested as First street, Hoboken, but declined to give the number. The capture of Samuels was effected by Officer Morley of the Adams street station after a lively experience. Morley had'beeu sent to tho funeral with instructions to be on guard for pickpockots, and when he heard a woman exclaim, "I've lost my purBe!" and saw a well dressed voung man running away, ho started in pursuit. The fugitive ran down Court street and turned into Atlantic avenue, heading for the ferry with a Bpeed that gave him a clear pathway on the sidewalk.

Morley jumped on a passing crosstown car and gave the motorman instructions to put on lull power. Tho car soon ovortook the lueitive and Morley asked the motorman to slow up in order to let him alight, but he declined and Morley jumped. He tell on his lace bruising his cheek and cutting Mb forehead, but he was up in a second and alter that he ran plump into the arms of Roundsman Cormish, who was walking up Atlantic avenue. Two pocketbooks were found in the prisoner's possession. One waB identified last night by Mrs.

Mary Rausch of 111 Clermont avenue, who had been robbed while at the funeral. She accurately describ3d the contents. The other pocketbook, it is believed, was stolen from a woman on a Hoboken ferryboat. The late Mr. Offerman had largo real e'state interests and many friends in Hoboken and a crowd oj mourners from that place attended the funeral.

It is believed that Samuels followed tho crowd. He is in jail awaiting a hearing on Friday next. EUCHRE AND LUNCHEON GIVEN BY THE ALUMNAE OF MISS WHITCOMB'S SEMINARY.

Stanley luancs. therefore threatened. He thought the next administration which would provide the means for sufficient revenue could be better Intrusted with the Increase of the navy than the present. Mr. Vilas thought there was no oDject in making appropriations for vessels like torpedo boats which could be construct ed quickly when exigency should require them.

He did not advocate the building of vessels to go "a jlngolng" with as the senator from Massachusetts (Lodge) seemed to desire. Mr. Gorman moved an amendment which was agreed to providing that the cost of neither or tne torpedo boats should exceed $375,000 Mr. Gorman demanded the ayes and noes on the Chandler amendment.

These are in place of the fifteen torpedo boats provided In the house bill, five of which were to have a speed of twenty six knots and to cost $875,000, and ten boats to cost $800,000. Mr.

Squire offered an amendment providing ior tne construction of tnree of the torpedo boats on or near the Pacific coast, which was agreed to. The committee amendment authorizing the secretary of the navy to contract for the building of two submarine torpedo boats of tne Holland type, at not exceeding $175,000. was agreed to.

Bacon (Dem. otfored an amend ment which was agreed to, providing that bids for armor for vessels shall not be received If they exceed $350 a ton. Mr. Hill (Dem. N.

offered an amendment which was agreed to, authorizing the secretary of the treasury to detail revenue cutters to enforce rules and regulations for the safety of those witnessing and taking part in regattas on navigaWe waters.

Gorman offered an amendment reducing from 1,000 to 500 the number of additional enlisted men for the navy. Lost, yeas 23; nays 27. Speaking concerning an amendment for an appropriation to pave certain streets of An apolis and of another looking to the acquisition of additional ground for the naval academy, Mr. Chandler (Rep. N.

took occasion to express surprise at the attitude of Mr. Gorman on these matters, who, he declared, was worshiping at the shrine of economy. Mr. Gorman in the course of his reply said he did not wonder that the senator from New Hampshire was favorable to Increased appropriations, as a portion of the Increase would be required to keep the Republican party in power in Maryland in the near future. An amendment offered by Mr.

Hale was agTeed to, providing for an investigation of the claims of contractors who constructed battleships and who suffered losses through no fault of their own. In speaking to this amendment Mr. AHeen took occasion to declare that the whole bill was "reeking with favoritism and jobbing trom top to bottom, in the center from cuticle to core and core to cuticle." The committee amendment striking out the provision for a tank at Washington for the investigation of and experiment with vessel and models was not agreed to and the provision was left as it passed the house, except that tl was modified so as to place the tank at the navy yard and not at the old naval observatory. Mr. Gorman referred to the fact that he had given notice of an amendment providing for the issuance of certificates of indebtedness, but said that as the time was late and there was not time left for its consideration to day, he would defer offering the amendment until the fortifications bill should be taken up.

when he would offer it, as he considered that In view of the large appropriations, some such authority would be necessary. The bill was then passed. Mr. Frye gave notice that he would ask to have the river and harbor bill taken up Monday. The senate then went into executive session and at 5:55 adjourned.

William York. A Of Last Night's Performance at the American Theater. THEY OOOUPIED THE STAGE. Banking Office and Conservatory, the "Devil's Mill Race" and an Oil Fire Did Not Budge Them They Had Attached the Scenery Upon a Claim Mac'e by a Former Actor in the Stock Company. There were exciting times at the American theater In Driggs avenue, near South Fourth stret, last night.

At one time It looked as If N. S. Wood would not be able to appear In his melodrama "Out In the Streets," for Constables John J. Boyle and Thomas F. O'Rourke threatened to put all of Mr.

Wood's scenery out In the street and then cart It away. The young actor successfully bluffed the young constables, however although they attached the scenery they didn't carry out their threat. They nevertheless did something much more amusing, for they planted themselves in the middle of the stage, where they remained throughout the play. The constables had nothing to say and they simply occupied their seats with grace and dignity. Many persons in the audience were unable to learn what the constables were doing on the stage and in fact their presence there seemed to puzzle the greater part of the audience, which was unusually large.

The cause of all the trouble was an attachment which Charles E. Burnell, a former member of the American Theater stock company secured in the Lee avenue civil court yesterday morning. Burnell and another actor named D. H. Murdock, who plays the part of the outlaw In "Out in the Streets," are friends.

Murdock claims that he hasn't received any salary in two weeks and very little professional courtesy. Burnell was recently released by Stephen Fltzpatrick, the manager of the stock company and at Murdock's suggestion he took out papers in the Lee avenue court yesterday, attaching not only the box receipts but scenery. Justice Schnltzspan placed the papers in the hands of Constables Boyle and O'Rourke and they went to the theater at 9 o'clock last night for the purpose of serving Manager Fltzpatrick with the papers. He explained that he owed Murdock no salary and that he was not running the theater. He said that he was no longer manager, 'as N.

S. Wood had made a new deal with Bohmer Runner, the. lessees and managers of the theater. Constable O'Rourke didn't believe Fitzpatrlck's story and after announcing that he was under bonds, he took possession of the box office. "This is a shame," said Mr.

Bohmer, as he looked at. the well filled money "You constables may think that you are. dealing with jays, but you will find out that you are not. If this bond of yours is a fake I will land you in state prison." While Constable O'Rourke was busy at the box office Constable Boyle was having an exciting time on the stage. As he entered the stage door in company with Lawyer McGulre and two other men he shouted: "In the name of the law I attach this scenery." The stage hands and actors were at first not Inclined to treat Boyle seriously, but when Policeman Pritchard was called in and he said that Boyle was acting iu accdraKte witn tne law tney began to respect 1 the con stable a little.

Boyle watched the first two acts of the show from behind the scenes and then he again announced that the scenery had been attached, and he forbid the stage manager to raise the curtain. Then N. S. Wood, the "boy" actor, appeared. It was evident that he was mad, and as he shook his fist at Constable Boyle he said: "This scenery 'Is mine, and If you touch it you do so at your own.

peril." The other actors and actresses, with the exception of Mr. Murdock, crowded around Mr. Wood and supported him. Excitement reigned on the stage and Actor Wood said that If the curtain didn't go up there would be a panic. While the latter and Boyle were talking the stage carpenters were busy arranging the stage for the next act, which, is supposed to occur In the banking office of Maberly.

Heaton In Wall street. New York. Just before the manager rung 'up the curtain Constable Boyle took a seat in the middle of the stage. At his left stood Constable O'Rourke and at his right a man with gray whiskers who refused to give his name. They did not appear to be embarrassed at all and the actors and actresses' did not notice' the officers.

They simply made their entrances and their exits as if nothing unusual had occurred. Someone in the gallery recognized Constable Boyle and he shouted, "Hey, Johnny!" Boyle smiled, but he stuck to his post right through the act and he didn't even move ir. the next act. which is located at the Grand Central depot. He sat in "The Deserted Mission," was in the middle of the "Devil's Mill Race," occupied the same chair in the "Fifth avenue Conservatory of the Heatons," kept his seat during the dry dock scene and only shoved his chair hark a little when the oil works burned In Greenpolnt.

While the last act was in progress Messrs. Bohmer and Runher'paid Constable. BovIb the amount of Murdick's claim, which proved to' be $10. The managers said that they paid the money under protest and that Mr. Wood would bring proceedings against the constables for interfering with his play.

PROMISING LIST OF ENTRIES it Is Said That Many Ambitious Whips Have Been Taking Lessons in the Art of Handling the Ribbons and Will Now Make Their Debut on the Tan Bark Some Special Classes Have Been Provided For. To morrow eening the annual horse show of the Brooklyn Riding and Driving club will be opened ar.d will continue every evening during the week, with a matinee on Saturday. The show is one of the chief social events of the Brooklyn world, and is eagerly looked forward to by thousands of Brooklynitei who are more or less interested In fine horses, or in the people whom they will meet at the show.

As to the show proper, it is bound to be a success. The 375 entries, about 100 more than last year, will make it so. Nor is the list made up purely of numbers. Th quality of teh horse3 entered is of such a character that close competitions are sure to result. While there are many old favorites such as Mr.

Talmage's team, Monarch and Perfection, in the lists, many of those which have been seen for years will be absent. Among them Frank Beard's jumpers, four in hand, tandem and team. To compensate for the loss of these well known horses, however, a large number of horses never before exhibited in the arena will be shown, and many ot them are so promising that the old campaigners are becoming frightened. Many members of the club have been on still hunts for anything choice in the hors line and to this end the sales stables of New York and Brooklyn have been ransacked. With what success will be seen when the show opens.

A number of the new purchases have been kept in the background and will be seen practically for the first time next week. A feature of the show will be the advent of a number of new tandem and four in hand driv ers, some of whom have been taking private lessons in handling the ribbons from Bantonyi, the professional whip Another feature which promises to be interesting is the class for polo ponies, and the evolutions they will be asked to go through. The club house and arena have beea transformed from their ordinary condition to a regular theater or circus building, by the addition of a row of temporary boxes on the Sterling place side of the arena, and three rows of reserved seats back of them. The club house end also has banks of reserved seats running from the arena back' into the parlos. The side opposite Sterling place has a row of boxes In the balcony, and back of them several rows of reserved seats.

Throughout the building every inch of space will be utilized for chairs. The stables will of course be filled to overflowing and many of the members have removed their horses to make more room. The carriage house on Sterling place and the floor and basement of bicycle hall will be used to store traps, coaches, breaks, tandems, carts, and has been cleared of vehicles as much as possible. Class 62. for pairs of horses suitable for women to drive, professionals barred, is also exciting a good deal of Interest and will probably be the beginning of an innovation in future horse shows.

At the sale of boxes, held a short time since, all but five were purchased by members and of those left all but one has been purchased by outsiders. The demand for reserved seats has been very great and it is fair to assume that those who have not secured them already will either have to appear early or go without, as the few which are left will go very rapidly. On the whole the club has never held a show which promised to be as successful as this one. JONES TUFTS. The wedding of Miss Carrie Amelia Tufts, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. John K. Tufts, to Robert Jones, which was celebrated last Wednesday evening at the residence of the bride's parents, 570 Nostrand avenue, was a very pretty home affair. The Rev. W.

Among the attractive additions to the piano establishments of the city is that of Charles ft Mayer at 541 Fulton street, which was started a few mon ths ago under the management of Frederick Mayer.

The rooms are finely equipped and the house mnkes a specialty of Decker A Sons' pianos, having nlso on his'list the Linde man, Schubert. Ludwig and Keller fc Son's pianos. The business sagacity, enterprise and integrity that is displayed by tho members of tho firm in their undertakings has proved a strong factor in the success that the new house has attained, together with the variety and excellence of tho stock carried. At tho recent benefit given for the fire department in this city a Decker Sons' piano from tho Charles Mayer was used, resr imonials of the satisfaction which purchases from this establishment have given are constantly being received and visit to the wnrerooms will doubtless prove of interest to seekers for good pianos.

MEETING. The mooting of the directors of the new Manhattan Athletic club of "Now York, announced to take place at the club house last evening, waB not held. The clerk in tho offioe said he had heard ntthing of such a meeting and doubted that it vuld take nlace nntil tho club had received lcgai authority to chanee its It Beat the Fourteenth by a Single Point IN AN EAGLE TROPHY MATCH. Remarkable Shooting on the Eighth Avenue Range The Fourteenth Made Its Best Home Score, but the Visitors Were Just a Trifle Too Strong for Captain Dixon's Men Last Match on Wednesday. The Eagle trophy match at the Eighth avenue armory last night between the teams of the Fourteenth and Forty seventh regiments was a close and consequently a very interesting contest.

The Fourteenth put up the best score that It has made on Its own range, 342, but the Forty seventh literaly, as well as figuratively, went them one better and made 343. Once before in Its own armory the Fourteenth was beaten by a single point, the Twenty third regiment then being the victors. Then, as last night, the result depended upon the last shot of the last man on the visiting team. Captain Hamlin had to make 4 to tie and a bull to win for the Twenty third, and ex Captain Christoffel of the Forty seventh was put in the same position for his team last night. He as well as Hamlin made the bull and won the match.

Under the conditions governing the match, however, a tie with Twenty third would have gone to the Fourteenth, but a tie last night with the Forty 'Seventh would have gone to the latter organization, which made the highest score at the 500 yard range. For the Forty seventh shot Lent, Layman, Collins, Gaudue, Baldwin and Christoffel, for the Fourteenth Catain Dixon, Allen, Far rell. Captain Macumber, Leonard and Lieutenant McNamara. Captain Henry. Inspector of rifle practice, of the Forty seventh, won the toss and sent the Fourteenth first to the targets.

Captain Dixon's men made a good score at 200 yards, 168, and a still better, 174, at 500, and it looked as though the Fourteenth was a winner. When the Forty seventh had half finished its string Captain Henry's men were nine points behind the Fourteenth and the Forty seventh's rooters were a downcast lot, but their spirit revived when Baldwin and Christoffel got to business at the 500 yards range. It was nip and tuck while these two men were shooting and, as indicated, not until the last shot was fired was the result of the contest determined. The last match of the season will" be shot on Wednesday evening at he Sumner avenue armory, between the Thirteenth and Twenty third regiments. Below are given last night's score In detail: FORTY SEVENTH REGIMENT.
