lowing appears in the Journal this afternoon:
ut has been a matter of quite common re-
port in St. Paul of late that the owners OF the
Pioneer Press would sell out IL a good pur-
chaser should come around. The business
which this company has held in the North

beginning TO dissolve and become less profta-

have taken away much Of the Pioneers local
advertising. while in Minneapolis. which was
wont 10 be such a rich field for that concern,
the Journal and Tribune have made the Pho
neer a useless visitor and have absorbed
nearly all of Its subscription list and adver-
Using, while since the Tribune and GLOBE
have become such superior state papers the
outside patronage Of the paper has also
fallen of. However, il seems 10 be the in
tention 10 dispose of the JOB Office, which is
now the most profitable branch the company

replied Mr.. WheelOck. If the Dispatch
chooses 10 take upon itself the duty of at
tending 10 the business affairs of the Pho

that il takes occasion 10 circulate about once
per annum, and ! don't consider it of

received from Owatonna. Improved analy-
sis of water had also been made. Certain

reported that the work of the board re-
ceived high Endorsement and approval at

Health association at Washington,
and ranked as one of the first in the

River transportation.

Capt. Hayes, supervising inspector of the
Fifth district of the Mississippi river, ex-
tending from st. Paul TO KeOkuk, has COM
pleted portion Of his report on the trans
portation during the past season. The
transportation for the year has been largely

OF $50, 900, in round numbers. One hun

NATIVITY OF FOALS.
The Former Resolution Rescinded
by the Horse Breeders.

There was good attendance at the meet
ing of the Minnesota Association of Trot-
ting and Pacing Horse Breeders yesterday
afternoon. 1t was called for the purpose
of considering anew the resolution
adopted at the last meeting of the
same organization, which declared that
the nativity of foal should be determined
by the place where it was dropped. 1t was
a fOregOne conclusion before the meeting
was held that the resolution would be re-
scinded. Mr.. c. A. DeGraff was at his
farm and unable to reach the city on ac-
count of the snow in time to be present
when the meeting was called 10 order,
but he got in before much had been done
and took an active part i'm recalling the res
olutiOn. The whole subject was talked
over and viewed from all points. 1t was
very generally conceded that the resolution,
if allowed to stand, would work TO the dis
advantage of the breeders of this
state, for the reason that under
il. people owning mares in
Minnesota might take them TO any other
state, breed them, then bring them back
and have the foals dropped here, thus max
ing them eligible to the three year-old stake
races here. This was regarded as unfavor-
able for the breeders In this state. In other
words, the mares in the state should be
bred to the stations in the state.
The resolution was rescinded. In regard
to the effect on Mr.. Finkle's Lord Nelson
there was considerable talk. and it was de-
cided that Mr. Fnkle was protected by
article vi. section 1. The following, offered
by Mr.. c. A. DeGraff, was adopted:
Resolved, That the person owning the mare
at time of service of stallion shall be consid-
produce.
Some other matters of minor consequence
were talked over and the meeting adj

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The long-talked Of
billiard tournament at the fourteen-inch
balk-line between second-elass players took
shape this afternoon when George f. Slos-
son offered the use of his Monroe street
rooms and purse of 500 for such con-
test The entries are to be Hatley. Thatcher,
Matthews, Gallagher and Arson, each Of
the contestants putting up S25, the winner
to take S125. second S75 and third S25.
Hatley was the first TO sign the agreement,
requiring some persuasion, however. as he
desired the match TO be Tor 500 a corner.
HIS friends believe him a sure winner. and
SlOSson promises that if he develops the
promised speed. an average Of between
eight and ten. he will take part OF the
money necessary 10 back him against Nc
Laughlin. Cotton, HeiSer or Carter. There
IS no doubt but what the remaining four
seekers after billiard renOwn will come in.
and the lOng-mOOted question of superiority
between them to be settled and a West
ern secOnd-class champion produced. AS all
the parties interested are well known here.
much interest is taken i'm the proposed
tournament. Arson is captain of the Chi
cagO league champions and plays billiards
as cOOlly and successfully as he covers first
base. Gallagher is a newspaper man and
until recently held good position as sport
ing editor of the st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat
But an itching for the cue superseded the
pencil, and Gallagher may now be cOnsid-
cred quasi amateur billiardist, bidding for
place in professional ranks. Cotton is a
phenomenal youngster and halls from Rock
|. Island. All he lacks is years. IL he did
not get ''rattled." few players could down
him at cushion caroms. Hatley is pro-
tege of some mOneyed sporting men who
like his style and think his chances are pre-
eminent for winning the match. Certain il
is that this tournament will afford more
genuine enjoyment to lovers of the game
than the One-sided contests participated in
by experts few days since.
