Cane Elizabeth Light
Captain Alvin Han has written the followin.


Captain Alvin Hall has written the following let
ter to Congressman Reed.
TO the Hon. Thomas B. Reed:
Dear Sir,-I see by the report in the papers that
it is liked now that of the Cape Elizabeth lights
is to be discontinued. Let suggest that there is
no light that so we'll rak the place of the two
lights as ten-seeend-ash light of the first order
We have ten second flash lights at Cape Hatteras,
Barnega, and Gayhead ana they are the best and
most unmistakabie lights on our coast. II in taiclS
weather the light breaks out but one minute get
six flashes and can be sure of our position hope
if there is to be a change Iii the Cape Eliza
beth lights that the ten second fash light will be
establi he'd in their Yours truly,
sALvIN HALL.
1t will be seen that Capt. Hall anticipated the
conclusions arrived at by the Light House Board
and that they favor the light suggested by him.
he Board propose to substitute for the fixed white
light ten-second flash light. This is practically
scintilating light, and is one of the most widely
visible of any. 1t is about 40O-candle power, com
pared with 1S0-cand power OF the light first
proposed. There is but one other like it in the
coun ry, and that is at Tiamoke Head on the Pa
cfc coast. On the Atlantic coast there is but one
tuat exceeds it in power and that is the great twin
light which marks the entrance to New York har
Dor al Navesink. Congressman Reed has beer
made acquaint led with the Boards purposes, ant
declared himself satisfied with what is proposed
he new light will be visible eighteen miles IN an.
weather, and in every respect the most powerful
and eff, ctiye of any on the New England co tst.

Bonner and Jay Eye See.
To the Turf Editor Of the Globe:

To the Turf Editor Of the Globe:
Dunton's Spirit Gays that Mr.. Robert
Bonner lately visited Kentucky in view OF
purchasing Jay Eye See at the stipulated
price of $4,000, but in consequence OF
the colts failure to beat Maud SIS record
of PIT as four year old, and the fact that
his height was uncer IL hands, he refused
to purchase. Probably this statement i.
correct only in the fact that Mr.. Bonner
made visit to Kentucky, as Maud 8. did
not make q record of 2:17 as four year
old, but Jay Eye See did trot mile in
2:19 and repeated in the same time in his
four year old form which beats all records
at that age, the fastest heretofore being
1rinket's one heat in 2:19 and q fraction.
Dexter's height was generally represented
to be 1512, but the fact that he is not over
Is hands under the standard, did not pre-
vent Mr.. Bonner paying $4,000 when IL
years old, fully developed as a
campaigner, and unsound feet.
Query. Why should Mr.. Bonner, who is
still paying fabulous prices for superior
horses, refuse to pay $4,000 for better
horse than was Dexter and at the same
age, better I say, because he is heavier
horse, sounder horse, better colored
horse, and very much faster horee? Not
because that he considers that:he paid too
high a price for Dexter, for at no time
since his purchase could he have been OBJ
tanned at his purchase price. Then, why is
it? The probabilities are that Mr.. Case
never placed price on the colt, and more
probably Mr.. Bonner never sought to buy
him at any price. The ways of the sensa-
tional paragraph writer are past fiHding

WHISTLER THE WRESTLER.


The Champion in the Bout With Joe Acton,
Discovers He has Net HIS Equal.
New YORK, Dec. 18.-Clarence Whistler,
of Kansas City, and Joe Acton, Of Eng
land, wrestled in Madison Square garden
tonight for the championship of the world
and and purse of $4,000. The terms of
the match were Greco--Roman, two falls
out of three. The garden was crowded
with over 5000 spectators. Richard K.
Fox was the stakeholder, and Pap
Whitaker acted as master of ceremonies.
Joseph Pilkington acted as umpire tor
Whistler and Arthur Chambers for Acton.
Although Whistler was fifteen pounds
heavier and two years younger, the betting
was in favor of Acton 500 to $50; Time
was called at S:15. Whistler began the
struggle by grasping Acton's neck. Ac-
ton wrestled on the defensive, contenting
himself with a waist hold. Whistler, after
ten minutes. succeeded in throwing the
Englishman heavily, but did not get his
shoulders to the floor. Then ensued
a struggle for the supremacy of half
an hour, when neither having attained
an advantage, time was called and the
men given fifteen minutes rest. During
the next hour and half the men struggled
over the platform without either securing
fall. Whistler realizing that he could
not throw Acton contented himself by
keeping the Englishman on all tours. The
audience was greatly excited, cheering
both heartily. At II o'clock Stakeholder
Fox concluded there was no show for
either man winning the struggle, and de-
clsred the match draw. A new meeting
will be arranged.

bedded down for the night. Up and down
the passageway between the stalls moved
about sturdy grooms carrying feed for the
animals and giving the last finishing
touch to the bedding. The shadows cast
by the stalls, the deep panels of the roof,
and the dark forms of the coach horses
produced striking combina-
ton of light and shade. The
picture was relieved and supplied with
color by the bright blue checked shirts of
the grooms and the mating of plated
straw and red tape behind the stalls of the
coach horses, and the effect was still fur
ther frightened by the glitter of polished
brass, which adorned all the stable utensils
and shene in the gaslight. Opening the
door of a large box-staN at the end of the
room the reporter entered it. The stall
was lighted only by the light that came
over the top, and was in state of half
darkness. In one corner, up to her fet-
locks in straw, stood Maud S., quietly
eating her wel[earned oats. Maud did

that the intruder was Mr.. Phelps, and paid
strict attention to her supper.
Looking into the other stalls the Other
racers were seen quietly crunching away al
their suppers in the twilight. Bay Dicl
looked up inquiringly as Mr.. Phelps, and
the reporter entered the stall. After
regarding his visitors intently for {
moment he gave a contemptuous sniff
and returned to his feed. When Aldine'I

moved and her good points comment

Kittson secured Dalnacardoch at a public
sale through the American Horse Exchange,

full If he were now in

A Chicago telegram to the Pioneer Press
ofSaturday said: 1T was learned to-day that
all of Commodore Kittson's horses enter
ed in next years races will be tried on the
Erdenheim track. This will in
clude those now at St. Paul.
The latter stable will remain
in its present quarters during the winter,
| and the transfer be made early next
spring" Upon calling the attention of
the Commodore to the above by the GLoEE
representative, he said there was no truth
in it. Erdenheim was for the thorough
breds and Midway for the trotters, and
the two strings would be kept and trained
separate. But was there plenty of room
and facilities for training the two
strings at Erdenheim there would
be nothing to warrant the transfer
| of his trotters there; the springs being but
! little more advanced there than here,
| while the early trotting meetings of the
| two sections were commenced about the
same date, the Western associations Civ
ing equally liberal purses, in addition to
| which the horses were within easy reach OF
Chicago, the entering point for the grand
circuit. And by the way, it may be stated
that the commodore's trotting and
pacing string will be more
formidable the coming season than it was
last, starting probably with the stations
