Ted Pritchard Defeats Jem
Smith in Three Rounds.
George Dixon and Abe Willis
to Meet this Evening.
The Californians Homer and Guido
Win in the East.
Racine Runs Second and Gannymede
Beaten in Close to Record Time.
Fairy to Start Today.

There is doubtless no canard about
the Pritchard-Smith fight taking place
this time. It will be remembered that
a dispatch was sent all over the country
announcing that Pritchard had won the
fight in four rounds. This was about
three weeks since. The discovery was
made that the men had not met and
that the dispatch was fake. The HER
AID was the first paper on the coast to
make the fact known that the men had
not fought. The enterprising reporter
who worked off the fake should now be
rewarded, as his prophecy was fulfilled
almost to the round, which is remarka'
BILE, to say the least. 1t will also be re-
membered that the writer tipped Pritch-
ard to win the day after the match was
made. That stands off the miss in the
last Choynski-G 6 oddard fight.

Homer made his first appearance in
the east yesterday, and gained victory
over good field.
Racine has raced two seasons in the
west, but yesterday was the celebrated
Californian's debut on an eastern track.
He failed to land first money, but is very
liable to do the trick the next time he
starts. Guido won at st. Paul, and the
Los, Angeles bred mare Geraldine was
second at the Hawthorne track at
Chicago.
Hannah came within an ace of smash
ing the two-and-a-half-mile record yes
terday. Hannah is a chestnut filly
years old, and is by Glenely, dam La
Favorita by Planet. She started nine
times last year and did not win one
race.
The time for the two and half miles
was 4 :28, and the best on record is
4:271a, made by Aristideo at Lexington
as far back as 1875. Gannymede, colt
bred in this county, ran third in the
two-and -a-half-mile race yesterday. Ac-
cording to description of the race re-
ceived at Rodman's, Gannymede was
twelve lengths behind upon entering
the stretch, and gained so rapidly that
the son of Grenstead would have won
with few more lengths to traverse, 30
nearly had he closed up the big gap. !

New Glass of Electric Roads.

There are now many indications that elec-
trio railroadfng Is about to undergo remark.
able Developments. Hitherto electricity has
been used mainly for city and suburban
trafic ana for comparatively short lines, but
this restriction viii no longer hold. The
Pennsylvania Railway Company propose
to run an electric line from Jersey City to
Newark, which will be of the greatest pos
sible value in supplementing their present
steam service, and an electric railway Is
projected to run from Asheville to Ruther-
ford, N. c., a distance of Al miles, the currens
for which will be generated by water power.
In addition to these lines is the proposed
elevated electric railway between Milwau-
kee and Chicago, on which 1t is intended to
make the trip in one hour. As the distance
between the two points is So miles, this
means speed Of about a mile and a half q
minute. The company which iS exploiting
this road is sanguine of securing its right OF
way on mnch lower terms than would be
possible for q steam road. Only 25 feet in
width will be required against the 100 feet
demanded by the steam traction. 1t is also
claimed that the surrounding property will
in no way be deprecated, as there will be no
smoke and cinders, and as the tracks will be
elevated no danger to stock or human life
will be possible. 1t is not intended to carry
freight; the traffic will be confined to passen-
gers and mail and express matter.

A VERY SHREWD FOX.
He Managed to Escape From an Island by
Stimulating Death.


Stimulating Death.
Boston Courier.l
A recent writer tells an anecdote which,
though taxing belief, he says is vouched for
by an eyewitness of the affair. Some fisher
men on the west coast of ireland were In
the habit of going to small island, a few
hundred yards from the mainland, In quest
of bait. The island was inhabited by large
numbers of rabbits, and could be reached
at low tide by wading, the water there be-
ing only few inches deep. One morning
they went in their boat quite early, it being
high tide, and on landing saw a dead fox
lying on the beach. The fur of the animal
was all bedraggled, and he seemed to have
been drowned One of the men, remarking
that his skin was worth something, pitched
him into the boat.
Procuring their bait they returned to the
mainland, and the man who had possessed
himself of the fox seized him by the tail
and flung him on shore. AS soon as the
animal struck the beach he picked himself
up with considerable agility for dead fox,
and shot off like a flash up among the cliffs,
while the men stood staring at each other In
mute astonishment. The men concluded
that he had crossed over to the island dur
ing the night when the tide was low, in
search of rabbits, and, finding In the morn
ing that he was cut of from the mainland,
counterfeited death, with the expectation
OF thereby procuring passage to the shore
IN boat, an expectation which was fully
realized

Electricity In Agriculture.

Ono Of the first to recognize the great I'm
portance Of utilizing electricity for farm
ing purposes In England was the Marquis Of
Salisbury, who not only uses the water
power on his estate for lighting by electric
fty, but also grinds his corn, cuts his horse
fodder, pumps his water and does a variety
Of other work ~ means Of electric motors
thus driven On many manors. which are
sUaoent 70 streams OF water, farmers are
beginning to realize the possibilities which
lie close at hand for the more economical
working Of their farms and are installing
electrical plants which can be worked at
cost unapproeched by any other means,
There are tens Of thousands OF portable and
other steam engines owned by agricultural
lists in this country which could be utilized
in a variety of ways in connection with
electricity. The mere saving in insurance
alone would In numberless cases justify q
farmer in driving his thrashing, chaR-cut-

motor instead of being obliged to bring his
engine, as now, right into his farm build

THE GOLDEN VEIL.
TRANSLATED FOR THE DISPATCH ]

On high hill, overlooking a small vii
lage, stood plain little cottage in which a
poor woman lived with her brothers three
children, Edmund, Gertrude and Elsie, who
had been orphans for several years. The
aunt had always been very kind to the chill
dren and had taken excellent care of them.
But one day the poor woman fell very i'll
and for several weeks was unable to rise
from her bed. During that time the little
garden became SO overgrown with weeds
that the vegetable were almost crowded out
and only few grew to any size. True,
Edmund might have cared for the garden,
but he liked better to catch birds in the
forest or to fish in the brook near the cot
tage. Gertrude, too, was old enough to be
Q great help to her aunt, but she so enjoyed
wandering through the woods and
fields, gathering flowers and adorn-
ing herself with the wreaths she
made, that any kind of labor was distasteful
to her. Thus the whole care of the house,
hold fell upon 10-year-old Elsie. The little
girl was kept busy from morning until
night keeping the house neat, preparing the
meals for her brother and sister and taking
charge of her aunt, who, besides enduring
great pain, was much grieved over the indo-
lence of the two elder children, and she
feared lest in their neglect in the garden
they might come to want.
One morning when Elsie had carried a
glass of cold water into the sick room her
aunt said:
81 have been asleep, and listen, Elsie,
what / have dreamed. I thought I was in
the forest, and there on the ground among
the roots of an old tree was a nest in which
there we're three eggs. 1 took one in my
hand, and Immediately 1 was well and
strong. 1 have thought so much about this
egg that wish Edmund would 90 into the
forest and try to find it for me.
Edmund willingly agreed to go in search
of the nest, and thought he would soon find
it. However, he had been searching for
some time without success, when suddenly
he came to large field, where the sun shone
with such brightness that the boy was al
most blinded. Thousands of bright red
flowers grew there, and over them lowered
countless butterflies of the most brilliant
colors All thought of the egg was forgot
ten, and with merry shout Edmund began
to catch butterflies. Nor did he think of
being tired of this play until it began to
grow dark, and he must hurry to reach home
before night. As he walked through the
forest, carrying very carefully his hat filled
with the beautiful butterflies, black hen
few out from the bushes and cackled loud
ly. AT the same moment Edmunds butter
flies flew away. far beyond the boys reach.

A Good Word For Storage.

II fs the most curious fact that Eupope is
far ahead in the application of storage bat
teries, as compared with this country in
general, the advantages they offer for light
ing purpose being there duly recognized.
They have had as many failures there as
here, If not more; but yet the storage battery
Is steadily and solidly gaining recognition,
particularly on the continent, where first
cost, main tenance, expense and advantages
to be gained are studied with probably more
care than anywhere else. There are several
successful battery manufacturing concerns
In Europe while not one can be pointed out
In this country. One of the reasons for this
10 probably the fact that instead OF starting
the industry gradually, on the basis of bona
flde demand, II sudden orcing of the manu-
facture was made by concerns which were
not in a position to do more than bring dis
repute on it. There is no doubt, however.
that the storage battery is destined to be
permanent success.
