did up Joe McAuliffe the other night. Those
who assume to know something of the respect

following telegram seems 10 indicate:

allowed 600 for expenses, whether sullivan
makes match or not. CHAHLEY MITCHELL"
This dispatch was received last night by R.
Fulda, President of the Cali ornia Athletic Club
The only question is as to whether the Club will
allow any such sum for expenses, as it is more
than any other pugilist has yet asked. The
supposition is that kilrain. if he comes, wants
sufficient money guaranteed to keep himself
and his friend Mitchell in good style for few
months sojourn on the coast, provided Jackson
doesn't incapacitate him for outdoor move

M'AULIFFE's 5 FUTURE.

Now that the first surprise at McAulife's de-
feat has passed away, many of his admirers are
renewing their expressions of confidence in his
fighting abilities Referee Cook hits the nail on
the head when he says that the trouble with
MeAuliffe is that he simply trained little TO
get in condition, but never practices boxing.
He is simply lacking in the science of using his
arms, and his only sparring exercise is what he
gets in the ring during his fights. Many believe
will yet regain his place in public estimation,
prohting by his experience.

Recently an Ulster county, New

farm with the following result: MY
first loss was the drying up Of a bean
tiful brook which had its source in my
grove. and which ran through q Durp-
Der Of fields, furnishing water for eat
tie, while grazing. Five times thS

been refused for this stream. In Tho,
vicinity of the place where the timber
stood the ground became dry during
the summer. When rain fell it did
not seem to be absorbed; the water
ran down. the hillsides, making great
gullies and doing much damage, while
the fields through which the brook
flowed did not yield as good crops"

the Connecticut Board Of Agriculture,

Mr.. Stanley, such a field OF corn u

The Railroad Gazette: The fat front
of a locomotive and its projecting cab
are highly unsuitable for rapid move
ment through the atmosphere which

simple, and a head resistance would be
much reduced by conforming, approx
mately, an engine front to the we'll
known shape of a boat or ship. 1t is
very much wiser, however, TO reduce
the air resistance at the rear. of q train.
A marine architect who made his ships
stern absolutely rectangular and fat
would be counted a worse man than he
who made q bluff bow, and yet railway
engineers have for fifty years been
dragging fiat-stern vessels at sixty miles

immense expenditure Of power, and no
oae of them has cared to test the effect
OF adding a light, tapering frame to the
