Opinion on Dempsey's Chances.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Joe McAuliffe and
Billy Madden arrived home to-day on the Brit

gave him, McAuliffe still thinks he can do any

He was candid enough to acknowledge that
Slavin whipped him fairly. but is OF the opin-
ion that second trial would result differently
"In London there is much interest in the big
mIddle-weight battle" said Madden. 'Fitz-
simmons seems to have the call in the betting
but Dempsey is well supported. Charley

defeated"

will make. Let me predict right now. though,
that Carroll will not last 20 rounds If they
fight"

THE COMING HORSE SALES.
An Opinion That High Prices Will Continue
for Well Bred Trotters.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
LEXINGTON, Jan. l0.-The coming sales of
trotters in New York and Lexington are being
discussed at great length by some of the able
turf writers. One gentleman located in New
York City, and writing for a syndicate of
Western dailies, gives it as his opinion that the
prices of tro:ters have been too high, and the
approaching sales will show marked falling
off in prices. have been at some trouble to
interview a number of the leading dealers and
breeders here on the subject. The opinion
seems to prevail among well-informed horse
men that good individuals wel-bred will sell
for more money than similar stock ever sold
for before, while the medium bred and poorly
bred ones will probably go for less. One intel
ligent breeder puts it this way:
The tendency is toward the best. The busi-
ness, in my opinion. has just emerged from its
experimental state although the breeding of
trotters will always be more or less in the
nature of experiment. 1t is becoming more gen.
orally known that TO produce trotter 1t is nec-
eSsary to breed in trotting lines; that is, if
wishes to take the least possible risk. The hap
hazard breeding of % years ago would not be
countenanced by the vericst tyro now, for the
aim of every wide-awake man in the business
is to breed the best. 1t is this fact that keeps
up the prices of richly bred trotters. and am
surprised 10 see SO many of yoI turf writers
predicting that the bottom will soon fall out of
the trotting horse market. / tell you this
Is mistake. When a colt like Stern
bere IN The 2year-old form can win S3OOO In
stakes and purses and then sell for 5,c00;
when Wilton can sell for 500, 600 and earn S50.-
600 the first two years in the stud. and one of
his 2-year-old daughters bring So 900: when an
Egbert sells for $4,000 earns $4,000 year IN
the stud, and S5O.009 is refused for one of his
sons: when Red Wilkes brings SOC, 0,0G0 earns
S5G COS year d stallion. and sires a gelding
that sells for $4,000; when fairly well-bred
mare that would sell for 81 900 is farmed for $40
year, you can tell your reader that the bottom
hasn't quite fallen out of the trotting horse
business. No, young man, the business is here
to STAY"

"a RACE WITH DEATH!"

Among the nameless heroes, none
are more worthy of martyrdom
than he who rode down the valley
of the Conemaugh, warning the
people ahead of the Johnstown
flood. Mounted on a powerful
horse, faster and faster went the
rider, but the flood was swiftly
gaining, until it caught the un-
lucky horseman and swept on,
grinding, crushing, annihilating
both weak and strong.
In the same way is disease lurk-
ing near, like unto the sword of
Damocles, ready to fall, without
warning, OF its victim, who allows
his system to become clogged up,
and his blood poisoned, and there
by his health endangered.
