R5WilSon. the liverymsD, has n new trotting
horse watch he bought In Chicago for the
Minneapolis market He had the Spectator
write up the animal, but when
the write up" appeared in print Mr.. VIII
son read il with righteous Indignation. The
ttOtters ara was placed st twenty-five years,
and he alleges that subscriber TO that paper
had nearly co2plsted bargain for the
horse purchase when he noticed the item
The sale was stopped. II am not going &c
pay = fancy price for n horse twenty-five
years ola' he said TO wilson. A law suit

II. N. Stone. the earsnan, is engaged in the
manufacture of boats for lakes Calhoun ant
Mi1nssOnka the coming season He is an
adopt in the business and gets all the work
that be needs. By the way. Stone viii bring
out his patent street car indicator of streets,
hitherto described in these columns, IN a week
or so, and y practical test VIII be made. The
design has be0n so changed that the hand
ratchet has been discarded and the machine
is worked by foot lever. If it proves sat

be generally adspted.
| II. NJ. Dufur, the wrestler, has gone tC
z Duluth, but not before announcing that ht
was ready 70 wrestlS Mclaughlin again fol
S5O0a side. Ii is quite probable that Il mattel
between Moth ana Dufur will be arranged
before the week ends. Moths challenge e
/ Dufur is eminentiy fair. he offers TO give
7 Dufur three catch-aS-catch-can styles a
against two GriecO-Roman styles. Dufur /,
ranked as one OF the best wrest wrestlers in
catch-as-catch-can styles. He is large anC
powerful, and his movements are quick anC
skilled.
Moth says that II Dufur accepts his chal
lenge, win or lose. he will wrestie McLaugh
the same style the following week. Moth hai
an aversion 10 using cOllar-and-elbow jacket
in cAtch-as-catch-can matches, but hal
fRally waiveS his prejudice in that respect
The claim set up that jackets furnish M
advantage for either contestant seems alb
surd. II there was no advantage ther'
would be no sticklers for their use.
