About two week ago at Newmarket, Ens-land. the entire stock of racehorses owned by John Gubbins waa sold at auc tion; and, this means the passing from the racing-, world of one of the moat re markable turf charactera ; xf - modern tlmea. . Twicewinner of. the Perby, in 1897 with Galte Morel -and In 101 with Ard Patrick Mr.. Gubblne'-career, which extend over a period . of 40 year, haa beam reaplendent with vlctorlea of the foremost rank. '. Aa a breeder of thoroughbred animal he waa pre-eminently successful, and wonderful results came from the cross ing of the different breeda which Mr. Oubblna directed according to hie own Judgment. He waa ao keen on this point that he often foretold the color marking and conformation of a 'foal before ita birth. . For aome time pakt Mr. Gubbln haa been in' delicate health, and It was reported that a critical atage had been reached when the stud waa ordered to be broken up; and the violet Jacket, crim son button and cap will never again be 'seen on the English or Irish courses. The chief part of the atud waa broocht from Beckhampton. Wiltshire. to Newmarket and handled by the Tat tersalla. The sale brought a total of $76,000. The animal which fetched the ton Drlce. and aha waa the first one of fered, was the 4-year-old mare Temple Hill, who Is by Kendall out or Aiorgan tte. the dam of Ard Patrick and Galtee More. She waa knocked down to Mr. Musker for 1.000 guinea. Caravel, who had been a great 2-year-old. but arier ward a failure, went for 800 gulneaa IMvldend. by Blauflne-Income, the bogey Derby horse of - the present year, who ran badly -at Ascot, made 720 gulneaa, and Sweet - John brought -600 guineas. A 1-year-old colt by-Blaerflnde went to Lord Lownadale. for 120 gulneaa. The Dhaw. a I-year-old filly by Pioneer out of Kendall Belle, was knocked down for 1,350 guinea and will go back to Beckhampton to be cared for by Mr. Gubbln'a trainer. Sam Darling. Of the lyearllngs. a colt by Blaerflnde made (20 gulneaa, a filly by Laveno out of Sugar Loaf S60 gulneaa, a filly by Blaerflnde out of Bosemarle 700 gulneaa. and a filly by the same aire out of Shy Lady 10 guineas. v- - Bora la Ireland. Mr. Gubbins was born 70 year ago at Kllpuah hospital. County LLVrick. Ireland, and waa the second son of Minor Gubbins. About 20 yeara ago the' se nior partner of the famoua whiskey firm of Wyse Co. of Cork left Mr. Gubbins a legacy of 2,000,000, but outalde of that he wag In Independent circumstances. His home . proper was at Knockany, County Limerick.' where today the big. geet part of hie stud la situated, and hla court Is only a few miles .distant, 'at Bruree. In the same county. Bealdea ,he haa a country realdence In England and a town house In London, supporting la all a retinue of more than 1.000 ten ants, composed of whlppers-in. hunts men, grooms, stable boys, -dogs and .other .retainer. In the hunting aeaaon Mr. Oubblns hunted six packs of hounds, the weekly flxtuaes- being -alternated . be. tween Knockary, Kllpush and Bruree. With his brother Stamar Mr. Gubbins began hla racing career in the early (0a. and their first notable animal waa Jack Bheppard, a chaser of exceptional merit; but In these early ventures their crack animal waa Sailor, who after winning several big races waa sent for the Liv erpool Grand National in 1871. With the crushing weight of. 175 he failed to come home first, but made a good fifth. That same year Btamar died from the effects of an accident on the hunting field, and John Gubblna became associ ated with Colonel North, with the reauft that they produced two Grand National winners, Woodbrook in 1881- and Sea man in 1882. The latter horse waa pur c based by Lord Maners for 18,000 and frldden to victory by the nobleman him Jaelf. Soon afterward Mr. Gubblna dls (solved partnership with Colonel North, land on his own hook tried Grecian Bend, iwinner of several big, English and -French races, and ' Juggler, a chaser. jwhlch he sold to Mr. Appleton for ,4,000. ueeees Attended Tlolet Jacket. ' Varied success attended the violet Jacket until the advent of Usna, one of Ithe greatest chasers that ever looked f through a bridle. After 17 straight vie orlea, the horse, which wss 17.2 hands thigh, waa sent for the Grand National lie 1887. He carried the top weight of II 71 pound a, and denplte thia great bur Iden waa winning by a quarter of a mile (when one of lila forelegs stuck in a 'hole and his shoulder wss dislocated, 'yet he limped to the finish" and made fifth place. That same year Mr. Gub- ,blna purchased Kendal, half brother to Ormonde, and brought him to hla resi dence at Knockary, Ireland. Among ther famous animals he got Oaltee More, winner of the Derby In 187. He was aold the same year to the Russian government for 81.000, which, added to his total winnings of 127,000. made him a profitable animal. . In 1900- Mr. Gub blna aold Kendal to a South American firm for 17.000. In 188 he bred Mor- jranette. dam of Galtee More, to St. 81 jrnon and got Ard Patrick, winner of the 1802 Derby. He waa bought by the Oer- fiian government for 130,000, and his otal winnings amounted to 24.618. Other noted animal owned by Mr. Gub blna were Blaerflnde and Revenue, win ners of several big races. Mr. Gubblna visited this country about 20 years ago said witnessed all the big race. GOTCH IS VICTOR IN WRESTLING BOUT Ucaraal Special wW-tW.) 'Victoria. B. C. Aug. . Frank A.

Arrangements hare been completed r hereby the Portland lacrosaa club is io play a match game with the Tacoma lacrnas team In thia city on next Sunday kfternnon.. August It. The game' will U played st the baseball park, Twenty- kurth and Vaughn streets,. . FITZ TOO BUSY NOW FOR JACK O'BRIEN . Bob Fitsslmmons will not pay any attention to. the deft issued by Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia. Not because he la afraid of O'Brien, but for the rea son that "Lanky Bob'! Is now tied up with theatrical contracts which " will carry him into next summer. Bob Is going to be a real actor this season. Not a "Tour .carriage awaits you, m' lord," but a thespian of the first water. The name of too Cornlsbman'a new play is Just now a .secret, but It is said that' It la as euphonious aa any of the ballads Fits 1 credited with hav ing composed and sung. The former champion will be aupported by his wife, who was formerly MI'hs Julia Clif ford, a talented actress and singer. Fits aays that he doea not have to display any stereptpyed heroism In this drama, but will win the prats and plaudits of the audience through hie ability. Regarding his fight with O'Brien Fits says: V" the police had not stopped the combat when they did I would have surely knocked O'Brien out. An other punch' -would surely have settled him. - There waa no . way of knocking him out. If the-aame thing had oc curred in the first round the mill would have been stopped Just the same. I had no intention . of boxing O'Brien after we were prevented doing so by the po lice. But it i looked like a piece of change for me, so I concluded to go on. After the contest waa postponed I naturally discharged Bob - Armstrong, my sparring partner. When the mill was made a fixture by the club securing an injunction restraining the mayor from- Interfering I could not locate Arm strong. I had no one to box with, and had to cut it out altogether. This threw me out of training, and, besides, I drank a lot of wine with convivial friends. "If I csn see my wsy clear I may curtail a few weeke of my show and fight some one. If the California clubs offer a large purae for O'Brien and my self, and If O'Brien posts a good-slsed forfeit. I msy take him on for 20 rounds some time during next winter. If Ryan wants -a chance he can' have it, too, un der the sarhe conditions. I am not old. Had I been in better trim It Is a cinch that I would have trimmed Mrf O'Brien good and plenty. But you can gamble he will never fight me again it ne can help It." - -. -'-.- RACING ENTRIES FOR THE OPENING BAY The official overnight entrlea for the opening-day racea at Irvington raceiracg were issued yesterday morning by the Multnomah Fair association and are aa follows: First race 4H furlongs, selling, Lissle Ward, 100; Homage. 107; Lie turer, 108; Bob Crawford, 188; Vlnce, 1ft- Hnark 10.

McCreedle led off in the fourth with a clean hit, and a Mac Is somewhat lsme, he called for a runner. The ' Tacomas would not allow Spencer to run for him. so Dug took Mao out of the game and sent Nadeau In. in his place. Brown evidently grave Ike Butler the worst of it on balls and strikes, for Ike made several strenuoua kicka, and when this conscientious pitcher kicks, he has one coming. ' "Peart" Casey carried oft the fielding honors yesterday by cutting off several clean cut hits, and participating In two fast double playa. Thia clever little sec. ond sacker Is a pearl and ne mistake. Mike Fisher says that his horseshoe wss not stolen, only temporarily' mis laid. Mike added that he heard some body say "temporarily" this morning so he thought he would ring It in. I like to use six or seven-etory words once in awhile," concluded the genial ex-cop, as be doffed his toupee. Skel Roach Is to do the pitching for the Browns this afternoon and he Will be pitted against Overall. Theae two giants are mighty clever slab artists and a battle royal should be In order. Worry Steel man made several de cidedly clever throws yesterday, getting hla man in each instanoa. Mike Fisher tried out a young fellow named White on first baae yestsrday. He did quite well during the four innings he played. ' It begins (o look aa though Parke Wil son and his bsnd of Slwashes were go ing to mske a runaway race of thia sec ond season. That hard-hitting combi nation of his seems invlnclhle In the southland. They walloped 4He Seels last week, and are now handrhg it to the Angels. Next week they staek up against Lehman's one notch - below Portland bunch, and there is no telling what they will do to poor Peter's crippled team, for the dtfpieed Seals have taken four straight from Oakland.

In a game that . completely wearied the spectators to such an ex tent, that over half of them .left before the aeventn Inning, Tacoma downed the Browna yesterday 4 to . The defeat waa inglorloua. Much .haa been said regarding ' Portland's in and . out performancee. but yeeterday's ex hibition, -would firmly convince the moat ardent fan that the Browna are in and out moat of the time. There seems to be a prevailing sentl. ment among the Portland players that new men are coming to take their po sitions, and consequently they are so disturbed over such rumors that they cannot render Justice to the club. Yesterday's work waa a fair sample. Raymond. Spencer and Steelmaa were away off color. Their errors, were costly. Butler's bad throw also helped along the fun. It seems Strang that ao many apologies have to be sent broad cast for the management of the Port land team. So little of merit can be said of -yeeterday's game that silence would be much more suitable. The story of the slaughter is best told in the score. Story of 0am. Truck Eagan waa the firat man up in the second Inning and dropped a Texas leaguer back of aecood,' which Spencer, Raymond and Drennen 'were unable to reach. Lynch laid- down a neat bunt aa a sacrifice, which was fielded uy Butler, who threw wild to firsthand before It could be fielded, owing to McCreedle's lameness, Eagan had scored and Lynch perched on third. Casey's single to cen ter scored Michael Angelo. This ended tbe scoring, for- the next three batsmen went out In order. - In Portlands' half of the third. Steel man and Butler were paaaed and Spencer forced the pitcher at aecond by a tap to 'Eagan. Steelman ant Spencer at tempted the double steal from third and first, but the catcher waa morgued at the plate by pretty work on the part of Hogan and Casey. With Raymond on second and one down In the fifth, a fast double play from Eagan to Casey nipped another chance to score. Hogan led off In the seventh for Ta coma with a three-bagger to center, but attempted to steal home and waa nipped at the plate by Steelman and Caatro, the latter runnina him down. Mike Lynch was allowed hh base in the ninth by stopping one of Butler's shoots with hla elbow. Spencer muffed Butler's throw of Casey's sacrifice and Lynch took third. Lynch was caught at the terminal on an attempted double steal. Hogan popped a fly to Raymond and Overall hit to the shortstop, who fumbled and Ovie'waa safe, while Casey took third. Overall stole second, Thomas hit safely to center, scoring Casey, while Overall also dashed for the plate, and. Steelman failed to grapple Drennen's accurate throw, and two runs were recorded. This ended the scoring, for In Portland's half Spencer struck out, Nadeau flew to ' McLaughlin and Th I el man popped a fly to Sheehan. The score follows: . ' PORTLAND. . AB. R. H. PO. A. E. Knencer.

NEIL WILL MEET BRITT AND JORDAN The advent of Frankle -Nell in the east and his clean cut victory over Hughy McGovern at Philadelphia the other night have helped to stimulate Interest In fighting to some extent in New York City. The little champion, who, by the way. would not be taken for a pugilist by the casual observer, made an instant lmpreaalon in the east. He Is rather reticent and backward, an un usual trait among fighters nowadays. He is satisfied to let his father, who Is hla manager and adviser, do all the talking for him. Little Nell simply listens when his parent makes a suggestion, and Invar iably bows acquiescence to all the elder Nell aays and does. Frankle Is itching for a long scrap. He declares that short mills, auch ss 6-round affalra. bore him. If his father Is to be beliered, he would rather fight than eat Albeit, the bantam champion has displayed his pugnacious temperament by agreeing to meet any one near or pounds above hla weight. He has challenged Jimmy Britt at 120 pounds and Ben Jordan at 126 pounds. -.Imagine such a proposition ten years ago. In those days fighters quibbled over a paltry pound. They do ao now, but most of them eventually make matches at catch weights, which In the end means a difference of only two or three pounds at best. Nell says that a fighter who Is not afraid will not let the question of weight interfere with his engagements. SEATTLE RACING COMES TO A CLOSE (Kpecta! tnapateh to Th Journal.) Seattle, Aug. 6.

' . Although the contest between Jim Jeffries and Jack Munroe Is almost a month away, the sports are now making calculatlona aa to the probable winner Of courae there la only one man In It in the eyes of the wiseacres of pugil ism, but Munroe, has many admirers and la certain to gain more before the battle begina. No one now dqubts that the encunter will take place, and on the day aet for it August 27. The laat postponement of ' the scrap haa not helped Jeffrie any, eo far as his' popularity Is concerned. 'Among th rank and file of sports there are many who think that he la afraid of 'Munroe, and that the atory of the Injured knee was only .a .ruae. Naturally, Munroe, as under dog' in thia mill, comes in for a large share of sympathy. Sentiment has forced many of Jeffries' former friends to forget the champion's won derful record and fighting ability. Mun roe has been cleverly boosted, and though - he haa not done anything to warrant more' than paaalng attention, many regard him aa a wbnder and a sure winner over the bollermaker. It la expected that the attendance will be larger on Auguat 27 -than It would have been June 17 had the fight taken place then. The calling off of the "go" baa given both ngnters ins au vertlaement they were after. It has also served to make Munroe loom up as a better opponent. And again, it haa given Jeffries more time to train, ao that he will not have any excuae aa 10 condition when the fight comes off. It Is known that the champion waa not thoroughly fit on June 17., He did not prepare so faithfully aa the reports In dicated. Whether be held - Munroe Cheaply then or was too laxy haa not been divulged, but the fact remain that he certainly neglected his training. When he left New York for the weat he tipped the beam at nearly 6" pounds. Ha did not weigh aa much as this even when he returned from Europe, where he went sfter he won the champlonahip from Bob Fitsslmmons In 1889. The flesh Jeffries carries now is not the kind that will easily disappear through arduous work. ' Jeffries declarea, how ever, that he can get aown to his regu lar weight without much trouble, and be ought to know. Whether he wins or loses over Munroe, It will be hla last fight. . , ' , . JAY HUGHES TAKES REVENGE ON SERAPHS (Soedal nunatrh hy Leased Wire t Th Journal) . Los Angelea, Aug. . Jay Hughes took his revenge today, but It needed the whole Seattle line-up to make it sure. The Angelea went away well in the lead, an error and two hlta giving- them three runs In the first Inning. The Slwashes steadied down snd began hitting the ball and running be nee. scoring a man In th,e third and fourth lnninga.

Hughey McGovern la not at all satis fied with the result of his recent en counter, with Frankle Neil and wants another scrap with the bantam cham pion. Yesterday Sam Harrla, for Mo Govern, challenged Nell, and It I likely that the pair will be matched. McGovern thinks It Is not fair to Judge him by his showing with Nell, as the content was a short one and things might have gone better for him had the mill proceeded: .He Is of ths opinion that in a longer scrap he will do better. McGovern says that if Nell puta up a forfeit he will cover It and arrange to go at 114 pounds, ringside, the banians limit, and sign articles at once. he SmlleaV ' Because she .smiled he went away Brave-hearted to his work that day His petty cares were, all forgot; He hurried on with one glad thought: HI task became Joy-giving play He did not know the sky was gray; To him the world wss bright and gay; By splendid hopes hla breast waa sought A man waa made from hopeless clay Because she smiled. f e-New York Herald.
