Sun reporter was shown the following state

regarding Mr.. Hearsts willingness to race the

Before any race takes place. Mr.. Munro
~;shcs to make a public trial over mile
course. going over the course four times. as did
the Vamoose at Milton Point In this run he
wishes to prove that he can beat the time made
by the Vamoose 40 seconds q mile. or at
the rate Of ten miles an hour. He also wishes
TO make public record over the Amer
lean Yacht Club course. In which he will en-
deavor to proye that he can beat any record

smooth water can be obtained. There being
no prospect Of smooth water on the Sound at
this season, OF the year It is suggested that the
race take place on the Hudson River. for I'M
less smooth water can be had Mr.. Munro will
decline to race until next spring. He also de-
sires to make the trials on the course selected
for the race.
The Yamoose's record for q mile Is min

reached New York yesterday. set John l.
Sullivan's friends TO talking. II was only o
few days ago that Sullivan condescended. rs
the cham pion. to invite slavin to meet him.
His hackers posted $500. and showed that
they meant business. The reason for the act
OF challenging is given By sulivan's friends In
this way:
When slavn was in the United States he had
talk with Sullivan, and was told that John
had retired from the ring. Now that Sullivan
Is ready to return to the business he desires
to make his intention known In practical
way. and issues challenge But apart from
Spe Hen he o

SIGNS OF A HARD WINTER.

This is going to be a verv hard

Lackawana Valley recently, "and
I'll tell YOU why | say so. In the
first place look at the hornets nests.
You will fnd them high up this fall.
That's sure sign Of o hard winter
Ifitwae going to be q mild winter
YOU would fnd them near the ground
Two years and three years ago the
winters were mild, and the hornets
nest were low down.
Then take angleworms for another
sign. Dig in the ground now and
YOU will find them crawling two feet or
more below the surface. They know
what kind of weather is coming aud
