An Intelligent PONY,


The Horse World tells us of a nonv
that is owned by gentleman near Buff
falo, New York. Among the many
wonderful things told of him are these:
AS a general thing he will allow no
one to pass him; but one day, as he was
leisureiy returning, a neighbor drove
last. eyoung man had to go a short
distance. turn a square corner, and then
100 yards would bring him to the barn.
Knowing this the pony took advantage
OF gap in the fence, and briskly trot-
ted across lots. The man, CHANGING to
turn his head, discovered the pony trot-
ting over the meadow, and, divining his
object, whipped up his horse, much
amused at the turn of affairs When
the pony saw the other horse was gain
ing on him, he broke into gallop, and.
with the buggy behind him, brought up
in front of the barn, the winner bv
several rods, and then stopped until the
other horse came up, when, turning his
head and neighing as if in triumph, he
quickly walked around to the stable. 1t
was the same pony who, one summer
day, after his return from the depot.
was taken to rake hay, proceeding not
at all to his liking. Consequently the
next morning, on his way home, he
stopped by the way in the shade of a
beech tree, where we could see his
white tail whisking the flies until he
heard the noon bell, and then sedately
came home to dinner. He is always
willing to stand at the door fifteen or
twenty minutes without hitching, but
longer than that he thinks useless. One
morning he waited as long as he con-
sidered proper, and went skimming up
the road toward the depot without his
passenger. A man CHANGED to be in the
lane and stopped him, otherwise the
owner would have had morning walk.
with his carriage gone ahead.

OUT OF THE ARENA.
Jack Fogarty Resolves to Retire
From Pugilism and Boxing.
GOOD REASONS FOR HIS ACTION.
George Miller Signs With the New Local
Club for $500 for the Season.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

John Quinn, the well-known local sport
ing man, received letter from Jack
Fogarty, the pugilisr. yesterday in which he,
Fogarty, stated that he had definitely made
up his mind to retire from the pugilistic
business. He gave excellent reasons for
coming to this conclusion. In the letter he
said 4:
Il have an excellent situation which
yields ME $50 or $50 week, and have been
neglecting it lately and taking part in
glove fights and boxing contests. Matters
have come to a point where I must either
give up fighting and boxing or give up my
situation. Well, have written Dempsey
and all the leading clubs to see what pros
pect there was for my getting a go for big
purse, and the prospects are poor; so poor that
have finally resolved to wash my hands en-
tlrely of the business"
There is every reason to believe that Fogarty
will stick to his resolution. His record has
been somewhat peculiar one because lead
ing pugilists have persistently kept clear of
him. Probably no man has made greater ef-
forts to secure battles without succeeding than
has Fogarty. There has always been lots of
money behind him. but even that has not Sc
cured an opponent for him. During recent
years he has had strong desire to meet Demp-
sey, but now it is not likely that they will ever
face each other.
Speaking of the Dempsey. .Fitzsimmons battle.
Fogarty in his letter said that he thought the
Australian would win. Fogarty claims that
Dempsey has deterioriated during the last two
used TO be. Fogarty thinks Fitzsimmons will
win.

Disguised the Stranger,

Evan Lewis and Tom Conners had a verbal
wrestling match at s. Clark street yesterday
afternoon, the result being draw. Lewis was
willing to make straight catch-as-catch-can
match with CoDners best two in three or three
in five falls for from $500 to $1,000 side. To
this Conners would not consent. Lewis then
offered to bet that he could throw Conners
three times in two hours for $3.50 a side. Con-
ners didn't fancy that either. The
'Stranger's' ultimatum was that he would
throw Conners three times in one hour and a
half, five minutes rest between falls, for the
gate receipts. The Pittsburg man would ac-
cede to this If in the event of his scoring fall
on Lewis he would be given the decision. He
argued that he wanted to make Lewis defend
himself which he would not have to do if
there was no penalty attached to being thrown.
Lewis left in disgust, saying that Couners did
not mean business.-Chicqg0 Times.

the great majority of Pittsburgers inte -ested in

latter's supporters here are not disposed TO
offer any odds, hence the small amount Of
betting done.
