Indianapolis does not open at Columbus until to-morrow. The two days’ lay-off may do the boys some food. Cockman baa been called to the Ohio town to taks Flynn’s place at short. Tho «earch for another Inflelder still xoes on. Manager Watkins hopes to get a man before the team returns home. This series with Columbus will attract attention all over the league. It is the first time that the two clubs have met since both got down to playing form. The result of the league race may depend on the series there and here. The fight Is unquestionably between these two clubs. 1 The Little Champions will open thu series In this city to-morrow at the Grand. A big crowd will doubtless watch the games played on the stage.

Springs and mat-1

Cincinnati and St Louis played a fast game yesterday, which ^suited In a victory for the Reds. This gives them the series. The feature of the game was the work of Corcoran at second. Powell made his debut with Cleveland as a pitcher and held Louisville down to three scattered hits. McGee was pounded all over the field for a total of nineteen hits. Cltngman was hurt by running Into a fence after a foul ball. Pond and Hoffer were both batted freely by the Giants, while Sullivan was in good form. New York won the gamo

easily.

Washington played all around Philadelphia, and won, hands down. Taylor was decidedly off In his pitching, while Mercer had one of his good daya Both teams put up a sloppy fielding game. Boston had little difficulty with Brooklyn. Lewis, Manager Selee's latest find, held the Trolley Dodgers down to three hits, while Daub’s delivery was plastered all over the field. This victory puts Boston again In front In the National League race. The Pirates decided to get better yesterday and turned the tables on the Colts in an Interesting game. Both teams batted hard In the opening innings and then let up. It was not until the eleventh Inning that Pittsburg got the winning run over the rubber. The

gland League since his hurt release, and is anxious to gft buck into fast company. Only two games were played in the Western League yesterday. IT.. Paul took another slide on the toboggan, and Detroit defeated Grand Rapids. Barnett, the ex-Cowboy, went up in the air in the ninth inning in the game at Kansas City yesterday, and the Cowboys batted out eight runs. Manning's men are now play'ng in something like thedr form of 96 and ’96. The team Is only a few points behind live Millers, and may be able to pull out of last place. L. A. W. MEET AT TERRE HAUTE. State Ollloer* Decide to Hold the Meet in that City. Officers of the Indiana division of the L. A. W. met last night at English’s Hotel to select a place for the State meet in August. A delegation of the Wabash Cycling Club, of Terre Haute, conferred with the officers, and. after some discussion. it was decided to give Terre Haute the meet. The wheelmen of that city are enthusiastic, and the club which has charge of the meet Is the strongest bicycle club In the State. The committee has arranged an attractive program, which met with the approval of the dtat^, officers. Terre Haute will be turfied over to thcwl.eelmen for three days. The business men of the town are taking great Interest in the event, and It is thought that this will be the most successful meet ever held in the State. The Wabash club now has a guarantee fund of $2,000. and the members of the committee said last night that this fund could be doubled If nccessairy. The league officers decided to appropriate $300 In advertising the meet throughout the State. The officers who attended the meeting were Wallace Sherwood. chief consul of the division; George Stacey, secretary; H. B. Hassen, of Jeffersonville, chairman of the tour committee; Louis Imantt. of Lewisville; Frank R. Levering and Frank Erdelmeyer. Yesterday afternoon the Hay & Willits Manufacturing Company furnished all the visiters with wheels, and extended them the courtesy of the cycle path. A run to Broad Ripple was made. All were enthusiastic In their praise of the

path.

Bicycle Races st Troy. Troy, N. Y.. June 24.-Results of the bicycle races yesterday: One-mile open (professional)—E. C. Bald won. Frank Butler second, E. J. Titus third, E. A. McFarland fourth. Time. 2:21 4-5. One-mile handicap (professional)—A. T. Crooks (130 yards) won. Sam Brook (90 yards) second, W. J. Helfert (80 yards) third, O. C Tuthill (80 yards) fourth. Time, 3:19. Bicycle Notes. The Beilis Cycle Company has closed an order for 800 wheels to be shipped to England. The summer camp of the Indianapolis Bicycle Club will probably be established next week. President Navin and the committee which has the camp in charge will take a trip Sunday and look over several locations which have been proposed. The club now numbers seventyfive members, and the Sunday runs are largely attended. The Indianapolis Ramblers will hold a meeting In the Board of Trade building to-night. The club now numbers fortyfive wheelmen. There Is a limit to the number of members. A plan has been started to build a club-house on White river, near Broad Ripple. Shares of stock will be sold at $5 each, and no member can take over ten shares. A part of this stock has already been subscribed. The old ordinary run to Broad Ripple will take place Sunday. Sixty-five of the old-timers have sent In their names to Frank Staley and promised to mount the high wheels that day. One of the riders suggested that ambulances be provided at Intervals along the route and a lifesaving crew accompany the party. Bets are freely offered that at least ten dips Into the canal will be made before the round trip is made. MATINEE RACES To be Given by the Business Men’s Driving Clnb. The Business Men’s Driving Club will hold a racing matinee on their track in Central avenue to-morrow afternoon. Three races will be on the program. There are a number of new horses in Indianapolis this season, and some of them have not been uncovered. One of the conditions of the races is that the entries will ’.not be known until the horses appear on the track. This leaves room for a good deal of speculation. The following men have entered their horses In the events; Tbree-minute Class; Trot or Pace—F. T. Jacobs, Dr. Sterne, Dr. Brennan, George Koehme, Norbert Landgraf, E. C. Deardor ft, D. B. Shldeler, Edward Schurmann. The 2:30 Class; Trot or Pace—John Knight, J. C. Pearson, W. W, Baker, Jesse Fletcher, W, U. Short, Orey Shover, W. B. Blair, Nlch Harrison, J. C. Dunn, J. W. Staub.

Chicago, June 24.—Marcus Daly has offered $125,000 and half the turf winnings for Galtee More, the stallion owned by Mr. Gubblns, of Knocknany, Ireland. Daly regards Galtee More as the greatest thoro&ghbred of the age, and he wants him more particularly for his stock farm in Montana than for racing purposes. Freshmen Break Records. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 24.—Three crews of freehmen on the Hudson, last evening, smashed to smithereens all previous records for freshmen on a twomlle course, and put up one of the hottest Intercollegiate races ever witnessed In this country. A crew of sturdy Yale freshmen rowed the two-mile course In nine minutes and nineteen and one-half seconds; a trifle lighter crew of Harvard freshmen fought them every inch of the wav, and finished a trifie over two lengths behind them. In 9:26%; and the Cornell freshmen, whose college record is that none of Its freshmen crews have ever been beaten before, finished length behind Harvard, in 9:29%. The best previous record for two miles was 9:41. made by the Columbia freshmen crew of ’94 at New London, in 1891.

Besides these prizes there are over a hundred medals. Free Park Coacert Plana. The committee having In charge the subscriptions for the free park concert fund met this afternoon. The committee will probably decide to give two concerts a week for eight weeks, Instead of three each week for ten weeks, as originally planned, on account of the failure to collect enough funds.

STATE BAR ASSOCIATION.

PLANS FOR NON-PARTISAN APPELLATE COURTS DISCUSSED.

Election of Officers — Close with 1 Banquet, with Benjamin Harrison as Toast Master—Some of the Responses.

At the meeting of the State Bar Association. yesterday afternoon, following the discussion of the paper read by R. S. Taylor, of Ft. Wayne, Secretary Wilson read the report of the executive committee. The chief matter of interest In the report was the recommendation that the board favor a non-partisan judiciary for the State. The report suggested that the Supreme and Appellate Courts be composed of an equal number of judges, each court with a chief justice, and that the judges be taken equally from the two parties, the chief justice holding the deciding yote. This was opposed by a number of the members, who held that the objection of partisanship would not be obviated. The question was left In the hands of the committee. The association directed that three delegates to the American Bar Association be appointed by the president. One death was reported by the committee on obituary—that of William Edson Colerick, of Ft. Wayne, twenty-four years old, found dead at the home of his sweetheart last winter. Marlon County Resolutions. Lewis C. Walker, of a committee appointed by the Marlon County Bar Association, presented a memorial, embodying the following resolutions: "Resolved (1), That It Is the Judgment of this association that It is desirable to have the Supreme Court constituted so that not all of its members belong to the same political party. "2. That the president of this association shall appoint two persons from each congressional district of this State (one from each political party), who shall constitute a committee to carry out the plan proposed, and with full power to act in

the premises.”

Frank B. Burke moved to lay the resolutions upon the table. State Senator Ellison spoke for the resolutions, as did also W. A. Ketcham and ex-Judge Reinhard. Albert J. Beveridge spoke in favor of Mr. Burke's motion. The resolutions

were passed.

The following officers and members of the executive committee were unanl - inously re-elected: President—Benjamin Harrison. Vice-President—John G. Williams. Secretary—John R. Wilson. Treasu- er—Noble C. Butler. Executive Committee—The president.

•‘WILDWOOD” AMUSEMENTS.

“Waiting TUI the Clouds Roll By”— City Officials Attend To-Nlght.

The stormy weather prevented a performance at Wildwood last night. The few people who were present were given checks which will admit them to two performances. Manager Harry Webber said that the check was made good for two performances to make up for the disappointment caused by not seeing the performance after the trip to the theater. Mr. Webber intends to have wooden sides ma^le for the theater, which can bo set up in Inclement weather. The city officials will attend the performance in a body to-night. Next week the play presented will be a melodrama, “The Price of Prejudice.” Harry Webber will play the leading part. Mr. Webber said: “So far, I have had bad luck with the weather, but I don’t Intend to become discouraged. I think I will succeed out here, and If I do 1 will keep Wildwood open every summer. It seems ridiculous that towns such as Terre Haute and Evansville should support summer theaters, and Indianapolis should fall. The actors I have engaged have shown themselves to be ‘quick studies,’ and are able to present different plays each week.”

vice-president, secretary and treasurer, with Charles L. Jewett. Samuel O. Pickens. Walpole G. Colerick and John K. Thompson. Banqnet Last Night. The first banquet given by the State Bar Association took place at the Grand Hotel last night, and was In every way a successful affair. About 150 of the most distinguished members of the bench and bar of the State sat down to the feast, which was spread upon snowy linen, beautifuly garnished with vines and flow-

ers.

Mr. Harrison, as toast-master, opened the speaking part of the urogram by thanking the association for his re-elec-tion as president. "This office,” he said, “is not a sinecure, in the sense In which that term was defined by Mr. Sim Colley, a former member of the Marlon county bar, who said a sinecure was all work and no pay. I am here to-night in the character of toast-master. I am glad to be captain of the firing party, and not one of the victims. and I thank you especially for this function. We have some gentlemen appointed especially for execution, and, ethers may be called upon to volunteer.” He then called upon John A. Finch to respond to "Obiter Dicta.” Mr. Finch, In response, gave as his definition, “An obiter dictum is the passing opinion of a Judge expressed when K Is not called for.” He made some humorous references to the dismay of lawyers who have long depended upon certain parts of Judical opinions when they find a subsequent opinion declaring the parts relied upon to be classed under obiter dicta. "A man who has carefully wound up his clock every night for twenty years, and then learns that It is an eight-day clock,” he said, “has less reason for feeling bad than a lawyer who has lost a case or been guided In advice given by something that turns out to be obiter.” Most of Mr. Finch’s speech was directed to the oppressiveness of the mass of law reports on which the lawyers and Judges must rely as a guide. “There are 166 volumes of Massachusetts reports: 165 volumes of United States Supreme Court reports, and hundreds and thousands of reports of other States," he said. “Every year adds to the reports of courts of this country about 250 volumes and about sixty volumes of textbooks. ‘Words, words, words.’ Does anybody believe we can allow our -presses to go on forever belching out books that are of such value that every lawyer must know what is or what Is not In the motley throng before he can feel safe? Nay, verily, there must In some way, from somewhere, come relief. * • * “I am myself a lecturer on a branch of law In a reputable college. At the beginning of my course or at the end, mayhap, many times ad Interim. I tell my classes there Is no logical, coherent, justifiable law on the subject; that there are decisions galore and that those decisions will control in the trial courts, not because they are right, but because they are decisions bound In calf, or sheep, or hide of some other animal. I advise them to search well these volumes In animal skins, and say that the lawyer who finds most opinions leaning his way will succeed the best. It Is not a question of logic or elementary law of the sort that is the ‘perfection of reason.’ It Is simply a question of numerical strength. ‘The Lord Is on the side of the heaviest battalions/ said Napoleon. “Indiana has more courts and more judges, and annually Issues more reports, than all England. Our reports seem to get more voluminous and contain less law. The first volume of Blackford has 432 pages and contains 604 cases. The last volume of Indiana reports has 700 pages and 179 cases. Does this signify? Yes, verily, it does signify. It signifies all too much. Do lawyers at the bar or judges on the bench carefully reason or copiously remember? Is It a matter of reasoning, or is It a matter of searching for cases In point ? Obiter dicta might be applied to many a volume in Its entirety, to many a page of an opinion for its mere prolixity. Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved?” The Thirteenth Jnror. Charles L. Jewett, of New Albany, spoke to the toast, “The Thirteenth Juror,’’ his remarks being specially appreciated by the judges, who were pres-

ent.

John S. Duncan’s toast was, “How to Explain the Loss of a Case to a Client." Mr. Harrison, In introducing the speaker, said that he understood that Mr. Duncan's answer in such a case would be to return to the client the retainer he had received. This occasioned much laughter. Mr. Duncan did not explain It, however. In that way, but said that he had great faith in good stories, and had often sent away a losing client In a good humor by resorting to them. Francis E. Baker, of Goshen, spoke to the toast, ‘‘Common and Uncommon Law." He spoke of the great amofint of common law decisions that had gone Into books and calculated that a good student by keeping at It n.ight read this accumuiatlbn In 275 years, tut meanwhile he would find about fifty million more pages to have accumulated. The last toast of the evening was "The Good-Natured Lawyer Against the Pugnacious Lawyer.” This was responded to by W. P. Fishback.

SUCCESS OF “SECRET SERVICE." A Piny Liked by Londoners—“Under the Red Robe” in New York. New York, June 23.—The English success of William Gillette’s war play, “Secret Service,” grows with every week. News by cable of the manner In which it captured the English capital does not entirely represent the dimensions of Its hit, which is one of the greatest ever made by a play in London. Charles Frohman, If he had been able to cancel his American contracts for the coming season, could have kept the war play In London for a much longer time. Mr. Frohman has been held to his contracts on this side, however, and Mr. Gillette and his company will come back from London In the tall. “Secret Service," though, will stay over there. An English company will be drilled In the piece, and when Mr. Gillette and his associates are ready to come the English actors will take up the thread of the run and keep the play going. William Gillette made almost as great a hit as his play. The Prince of Wales honored him with a call to the royal box and several compliments, and the English papers styled him the finest and best actor London had seen In many a year. It was a double triumph for Mr. Gillette, first as author of “Secret Service” and again as the enactor of Its soldier hero. One of the greatest records made by a romantic play in New Ycrk belongs to “Under the Red Robe,” which began Its career at the Empire Theater last December, and is still tunning there to what is known as “success business' in other words, filling the house. This is the drama made out of Stanley Weyman’s story of the Cavalier Gil de Berault, who fell In love with the sister of the man he was commissioned by Cardinal Richelieu to capture, and who let the man go for love of the woman and betook himself to Paris to surrender to the cardinal and suffer death for his disloyalty. Edward Rose has made a pretty and fragrant-framed play of the story. The play is drawing as strongly in the latter part of June as It aid in Januaiy, and for the first time In the history of Gotham’s theatricals a serious drama is vieing successfully with midsummer attractions. There is no sign of the play ending its run, and it may -keep the Empire open all summer; the theater was to have closed May 13. “Under the Red Robe" has passed Its two-hundred-and-flftieth performance.
