THE K1TE-sHAPED TRACK.
A Civil Engineer Explains Why 1t Is Speed
Ter Than Others.

A Civil Engineer Explains Why 1t Is Speed
ier Than Others.
r. L. Brakeman, of Lexington, KY, civil
engineer who has built a number OF trotting
tracks, says:
"W hat is the scientific reason why a track
with one turn should be faster than one with
two turns? Because body passing round
curve is subject to two motions o. forces in
conflict with each other, one force acting at
right angles to the direction of the other. A
portion of a horses energy is used in getting
forward, and another portion of his energy
is used in turning as he goes round the turn.
The same amount of force in the locomotive
will pull the train faster when the railroad
track is straight than it will when it 1s
curved. If regulation course, which has
two turns, is as fast as a kite course, which
has one turn, then by parity of reasoning
kite which has one turn is as last as
straightaway course, which has no turn,
which brings us face to face with an -ab-
surdity, for no one would deny that course
perfectly straight from end to end is the
fastest possible shape for track. The &C.
centricities and peculiarities of few horses,
that seem to work better on turns than any
where else, is no disproof of the laws of
motion and the experience of the majority
of horses. No one questions the advantages,
as conducting to speed and ease, of good,
springy soil for the surface OF a trotting
track, but the above discussion is as to the
main cause of the superiority in point of
speed, which the kite track undoubtedly
possesses"

Several Important Cases Acted Upon by the
Board of Pardons.


Board of Pardons.
HARRISBURG. Dec. a2.-[Speciul] THE Board
OF Pardons to-day recommended a pardon
for Absalom III. Bowser, who was convicted
OF murder in the second decree for the
killing of Obediah Haymaker in Allegheny
county on August 80, 1854, sentenced to ten
years imprisonment in the Western Peni-
tentiary. Haymaker owned farm in a
prolific oil region, upon which Milton
weston, Chicago financier, claimed to hold
lease for well-drilling. Other oil men
wanted the property and a dispute arose.
Weston's attorney advised him that he had
q legal right to enter upon the prem ises,
and that If he was repelled with fore he
could use force to obtain possession. Weston
among them Bowser, and went to the farm,
which was garrisoned by a strong force. In
the riot that ensued Haymakeri the owner
of the farm, was killed.
Weston and Bowser were each convicted
of murder in the second degree, although it
was proved Mt the trial that they went to
the farm without any intention to kill, and
that the action was prompted by the advice
OF Weston's attorney. Weston was par
doned several years ago. Bowser's case has

conduct. would expire in about IA year.
The case of Violet Murray, Allegheny, lar

Michael Sabol, Allegheny, held under ad-
viSement. Pardon was refused Kate Cor

|OUT FOR THE STUFF.
Mitchell and Corbett Will Box Six
Rounds for Points.
THERE WILL BE- VERY BIG GATE.
The Backers of John L. Sullivan and
Slavin to Meet Next Week.
THE sPRINTERs ARE AGAIN ON DECK

NEW YORK. Dec 22.-After vast amount
Of talk, Charley Mitchell, of England, and
James j. Corbett, of California, have signed
articles of agreement to meet in six-round
glove contest in Madison Square Garden
within seven weeks from to-day. The men
met in the Office of a sporting paper this after
noon. Corbett opened the negotiations. The
men soon found that finish fight was out of
the question, as Mitchell stuck to London
prize ring rules. It was then agreed that
there should be scientific contest tor
following articles we're drawn and signed:
1--WE, the undersigned, agree to box scien-
tifcally for six rounds. Marquis of Queens
berry rules, at Madison Square Garden
within seven weeks of this date"
No money was posted. There will be no
stake. Both men seemed agreed to make
the meeting one in which to simply decide
who is the more clever of the two men.
Among those present besides the Slavins
were w. Gilmore, Colonel Harding,
Arthur Lumley, Joe Early, Dave Hallard,
Mike Donovan and Sailor Brown.
The stipulation made between Slavin and
and Sullivan's representatives this after
noon was that the men should fight within
10 weeks after Sullivan's theatrical con-
tracts expire, which will bring the fight
into September. 1t was agreed that if
Peter Jackson should whip Slavin in their
coming fight in London, then Sullivan
would not meet Slavin. Charley Mitchell
acted as spokesman for Slavin, and OBJ
jected to allowing so much money being
tied up. Arthur Lumley offered to pay
Slavin interest on the money until Septem-
Der. 1t is said that Richard X Fox will
put up Slavin's forfeit next Tuesday. So
far as can be learned no direct authorize
tion has been received by Sullivan's repre-
sentatives to make the match, but Sullivan
has said he would meet Slavin when his
engagements permitted, and his backer,
Charlie johnson, has taken him at his
word
