Ayers Sarsaparilla after a comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. c. X. Murray, Of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
aicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of a scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pinples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, II avoiding all powders, ointments,

STRENGTHENING A RECORD.
Frank Hayes Puts in a Word in
Regard to Mccartney.

To the Editor of the Globe.
While looking through the Sunday
GLOBE. to which I am subscriber, I
came across a canard in McCaffrey's
record, which I hope you will do me
justice in contradicting through your
paper. Willis Cush and myself were
the parties who sent to Pittsburg for
Mccartney to come to Denver to fight
Glow. John P. had just whipped Cush,
and as Cush and l were good friends,
we wanted to get even with Glow. That
is the reason we sent for Mccartney. /
met Dominick at the depot and sent
him out to the rolling mills where Cush
him against Glow. He Glow
found out it was Mccartney
and he said to Domnick that he Nat,
only fought once, and he was not in the
business long enough to fight him. Nc
Gallery said he was going to have a
benefit, and he would bet Glow he could
stop him in six rounds. Glow put up
his money at once. All Glow could win
was $50. All McCaffery could lose was
$50. The entire receipts went to Nc
Gallery, which amounted to over $500
clear Of expenses. so any sporting man
can see how much Glow knew about
making match at that time. McCaffery
failed to knock Glow out and the
latter won the $50. and l will
take an oath that Glow had the
best of it in the last round.
Now that IS the only time Glow ever
met Mc<1Caffery, although two years ago,
in Philadelphia, when Glow worked for
.ILohn LII. Clark, he offered to fight Nc

patronage of the people. 1t is proposed
to make connections with jockey club

AT the annual meeting to be held next

BASE BALL In IRELAND.

vember 10. says: ''Base ball!!!-We

wrong with base ball? A.-Nothing.
It's all right. Q.-Then why should we
not add it to our pastime? A.-No rea-
son whatever. We are going to let base
ball 'go' in these columns, and to intro
duce it into Ireland under auspices
well, the most favorable we can COM
mand, anyhow" Then it continues in
long article on the merits of the great
game of base ball, and speaks of its in
tention to organize an Irish
team to visit this country in
autumn of 1889, and play a
series of games here. Sport promises
to do all 1t can to introduce this popular
American pastime into Ireland. 1t

thinks he can play base ball. and adds:
''The men who are selected will be
taken on the team from Kingsbridge to
Kingsbridge at not one farthing eX-
pense. They will demonstrate to the
great American nation that they can
not alone catch on to new game, but
that, having once caught on, they will
show that they can acquit themselves
handsomely, and that they will also
prove to the Americans that in their
most popular game their friends across

Tt Was Brusn's scheme.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. 2.-Presi-
dent Brush, of the indianapolis Base
Ball club, has returned from the East.
His class tication scheme, which was
adopted by the league. will save his
club $1,000 G year. He says the Indian
apolis club will keep all of its present
players and get some new ones. Get
zein. Detroit's star pitcher, will be one
of them. The selection of new man
ager is yet in statu quo. John B. Day,
president of the New York club, will
pay as much for Denny as he gets for
Ward, $4,000 or $4,000 probably, and
wants him badly. Philadelphia wants
Glasscock, but they will not get him
for any price. There is a possibility
that Denny may be sold if the local
management sees its way clear to get
other valuable players in his place, but
the present indications are that he will
remain where he is.

THE TRIGGER.
Doings of Men Prominent in
Handling the Gun.

A new style of gun wad is making stir in
England. 1t comes from Sweden and is
made of paper pulp. Sportsmen who in
youth loaded their shotguns with scraps Of
newspaper will not be prejudiced in favor of
the wads in advance, but the new wad is
nevertheless great success. 1t is made cup
shaped, the hollow being placed in the ca
fridge next TO the powder. 1t follows that
the powder gases press the edge of this cup
against the barrel and so keep themselves
from mingling with the shot. Extended ex-
periments show an increased number of
Shot placed within the standard thirty-inch
circle, an improved spread of the shot and
an increased penetration. The recoil of the
gun was naturally increased at the same
time 1t is pretty plain from these trials
that the ordinary gun wad. even when they
fit the barrel snugly, and are a half-inch
thick, do not wholly prevent the gases from
mingling with and SO scattering the shot.
John L. Brewer, of Philadelphia, and L. s.
Carter, of Hammond, ILL.,, are quarreling over
the wing shooting championship. Each
claims it, and Brewer has issued a challenge
for $500 side, 100 birds, London club
rules, Thanksgiving. at Pittsburg.
Capt. Brewster ana C. W. Budd are quite
likely to meet soon in a 100 live bird con-
test for something like 81 600 side.

A CuriOuS Case.

Breeders Gazette.
The four-year-old colt Leicester, that
made record better than 2:30 not long
ago, mention of the fact being made in
these columns. appears to be pecu-
liarly-gaited one, If what appears con-
corning him in the columns of an ex-
change be true. 1t is there stated that
Leicester has such phenomenal action
with his hind legs as to make it impera-
tive that be wear padded martingale in
order to prevent striking himself with
his hind feet back of the fore legs. If
this is correct description of the ami
mails action the young trotter is GER
tainly queer one. In commenting on
the matter j. G. Simpson, who has had
something like half a century of eX-
perience, said that he has never seen an
instance where trotter needed the
protection mentioned on account OF eX-
ceSsive action with his hind feet, al
though padded martingale had been
used on Judge Fullerton and other
horses with excessive forward action.
1t is possible that Leicester is able to
hit himself in the manner described
but if he keeps up the habit it is not
likely that he will amount to much for
racing purposes.

Method of Lowering a Record.


Method of Lowering a Record.
An Ansonia Conn., man was recently
beguiled into trying the speed of an I'M
known mustang on the Derby Driving
park. The animal was brought out
with blanket and halter i'll place OF
saddle and bride. All being in readi-
ness, he rode up the track and came
down under the wire on an easy canter.
with a sort of see-me-ride look on his
Cop and at that moment a change
came over that pony. He Strengthened
out and commenced to fly. The rider
was astonished, but thought he would
quiet down before the quarter was
reached. But the pony continued to go,
and when he rounded the upper corner
the rider dropped the halter and
seized the name, clinging on for
dear life. The half was made in
ITO, and as he passed the stand
cheered for his fine work. an agonized
looking face was turned toward Its Oc-
cupants, and faint cry of Help was
heard. Up the back stretch flew the
pony, the cry of "Stop him! Stop him"
sounded by the rider only increasing
his speed. On the upper turn it
seemed as if the rider would be I'M
horsed, but his arms clasped around the
pony's neck held him fast. AS he
reached the homestretch, it was only a
question of durability of the muscles OF
the riders arms whether he would pass
under the wire with the pony or not. 1t
was fearful tension, as the power to
hold on by the lower limbs was gone,
and the riders body was strung out at
each jump, acting as a whip to the
pony, who came like a whirlwind under
the last quarter in thirty seconds. The
riders friends stopped the pony. The
pony's record was lowered thirty sec
