The Gross That Would Produce Perfect
s-A ''2fs"-- Carriage Horses.
have snent some years in collecting
information about French coach horses
and am convinced they are going to be
of great value to the country, particu-
larly as q cross upon trotting bred mares
of fine form and good breeding that are
not sufficiently fast to warrant their
being bred to our fastest trotting stall
lions with the hope of producing ami
mails of extreme speed. You know there
has been lack Of effort to produce uni
for1nity among our trotting families.
The old saying s'that they go fast in all
forms, has led to the indiscriminate Sc
lection for breeding purposes Crowded
they were FAST of males and females re-
gardless of their conformation, size and
soundness. The result has been extreme
speed for short distances at the expense
of size, elegance and endurance, the very
qualities that are indispensable in high
class carriage horses. The French were
wiser than we. When they began the
energetic effort for the production of
speed they excluded from competition in
public races horses under certain stand
ard in height. This exclusion of small
horses led to the production Of larger
ones, and in order to test the endurance
of 3-year-olds they we're trotted distances
of "a miles on the turf.
AS the government was large buyer
of the most perfect, large, fast stations,
it became patron of the races as a
means of testing the capabilities of the
stations it desired to buy. Added to
this the fact that the government would
not use, nor allow to be used for public
service, any stallion that was unsound
or that possessed a hereditary disease,
we have an outline of the system that
has given France a race of carriage
horses that for size, symmetry, endur-
ance and speed, has no equal. It is true
that their fastest horses are no match,
in trial of speed, for single mile on
hard track to our fastest trotters, but
| for two miles or more upon turf track,
carrying the same weight, our fastest
horses are no match for theirss
The high knee action and quick move
ment of the French breed, that is neces-
sary for great speed on the turf tracks,
is just the action we desire in our car
riage horses, while the low, long, me-
| chanical movement of our trotters, by
which they obtain that wonderful speed
on a perfectly hard track, is objection
able in a high class carriage horse. We
thus find in the best types of French
coachers Ghe very qualities lacking in
our trotters) uniformity, size, elegance,
high knee action, endurance and great
speed for long distances. It is not sur
prising, therefore, that these horses are
being sought after to breed on our Ameri-
can trotters. Breeders Gazette.

western Beet Sugar Report.

SAN Francisco, March 1.-The annual
meeting of the Western Beet Sugar
company was held today. The following
directors and officers were elected: John
d. Spreckels, president; John L. Kos
ter, president; ]. B. Stetson, A. B.
Spreckels, w. G. Watson and M. P.
Jones. E. III. Sheldon was appointed
secretary and John D. Spreckels & Bro.
treasurers.' During the year the pur-
chases of sugar beets amounted to 20, 600
tons. The total sugar product shipped
was 2l70 tons, averaging $64 per ton net,
without bounty. The bounty from the
government, which was $40 per ton,
brought the company $86,811 for the
past year. The company has 1900
acres under cultivation, and spent about
$40, 900 on improvements last year, and
has a cash balance in the treasury ol

and to promote the safety of national
banks. An amendment is added author
izing banks to enlarge their circula-
tion to the full par value of the United
States bonds deposited. So the bill
must 60 back to the house if it passes
the senate.
The committee ordered adverse re-
ports on four bills introduced by Demo-
cratic senators to remove taxation from
state bank circulation and to subject
national bank notes and United States
treasury notes to state taxation.
PACIFIC GUN PLANT.
The senate committee on coast de-
fenses had under consideration this
morning the bill appropriating 81 900,
600 for the establishment of a gun fac
tory.on the Pacific coast, and decided
by an unanimous vote to report it
favorably to the senate. The location
of the site for the factory is left to a
board to be appointed by the president,
consisting of three officers OF the army
and three of the navy.
Senator FELTON, desired that the bill
be 60 amended as to locate the site
definitely at Benicia, CAL, but his mo-
tion to this effect was voted down.

MABER AND LAWSON.
All Ready for the Lightweight Fight
= Tomorrow.

All Ready for the Lightweight Fight
tomorrow.
The Maber Eawson fight takes place
at the Pastime tomorrow evening. Both
men are reported to be in fair condi-
ton, and good mill is expected. The
record OF Lawson has already been pub
lshed in the HERALD. Billy Maber is
"a years old. In 1883 he whipped Jim
Nolan in seven rounds, and won num-
ber of other matches in Australia. His
principal victory was over Tom Will
liams, whom he beat in thirteen rounds.
Maber was then defeated by Dawson in
twenty rounds. Since Maber has been
IN this country, Williams, whom he de-
feated, knocked out Dawson, the &C.
knowledged champion OF Austria
liza. 1t will therefore be seen
that Maber stands high up in the
lightweight division, and should
he win on Thursday night, he will
probably be matched against the win
ner of the Gallagher-Dawson fight.
Maber is thin as a. whipping post, and
is wonderfully hard hitter for man
of his physique. The fight will be a
scientific one, as both men are clever.
There will not be surfeit of sparring,
as both men will force the pace. The
longer the fight lasts the better will be
the chances of Lawson, as he is liable
to show up in better condition than his
opponent.

WORLD OF SPORT.
DANNY NEEDHAM WINS A FIGHT
AT NEW ORLEANS.
Maher and Fitzsimmons to Battle Tonight.
All Ready for the Maber-Lawson
Fight-Both Men in Fair Condition.
Maher Has the Call in Betting.

NEW ORLEANS, March IA meager
(assemblage of sports congregated at the
Metropolitan club room tonight to wit
ness welter weight fight between Need
ham and Jack Burke, the latter having
consented to take the place of Tommy
Ryan, who is still suffering from throat
affection. The disappointment mani
tested because of the postponement of
the Ryan-Needham fight was still appar-
ent in the crowd present. Jack Burke
is boxing instructor of the Young Mems
club, where he also put Tommy Ryan in
condition. He has had good string of
victories tackled onto his career. He was
in very good condition, and Needham in
tirst-class. The latter was seconded by
Mike Connolly, Tom Manning of San
Francisco and Hogan Of Chicago. Burke
was seconded by Billey Dacey, George
Palmer and Charles Potter. Professor
Duffey was referee.
In the first round both landed heavy
lefts, Needham nearly falling; honors
easy.
Second-Needham landed two hard
right punches. Burke landed his left
on the face, but received one in the
stomach in return. Mother had much
advantage.
Third-Needham became decidedly
aggressive, and there was heavy ex-
change of blows; the round winding up
with Needham landing a heavy right
on Burke's mouth, drawing blood.
Fourth-Needham landed a heavy
right on the ribs and Burke returned a
good one on the neck; the round end
ing with clinch.
Fifth-A number of good blows were
exchanged, and after clinch Burke hit
Needham in the back of the head, max.
ing him mad.
Sixth-Burke stock went up in this
round. Needham landed his right and
then clinched. Needham landed an
other right on the body and hard left
on the stomach. Burke then landed
soaker from. his left on Needham's
mouth and missed left swing from the
western boy. Time interrupted hot
rally.
Seventh-Needham landed heavy
right on the ribs, a heavy left on the
stomach and another on the nose. After
a clinch he landed heavy left on
Burke's mouth, and received one in re-
turn. As time was called Needham
landed a stingere on Burke's stomach
from his left.
Eighth-Needham landed his left on
the stomach and his right on the ribs.
After clinch he landed another heavy
right on the ribs and pushed his left
frequently into Burke's nose. Burke
landed heavy left on Needham's neck,
but the San Francisco man was now
forging ahead.
Ninth--Needham landed heavy
right and left on the body, and the New
Orleans man hit him but lightly in a
clinch. Burke tried with his right, and
threw himself out of position, when
Needham landed hot right on the ribs,
and received Burke's right in his
stomach. Needham than landed two
rights in succession in Burke's sore
ribs.
Tenth-Needham landed heavy left
on the mouth, knocking Burke down,
Needham falling with him. The men
got up, and Needham knocked Burke
ont with rattling right-hander on the
jaw.
Burke made gallant fight against
superior strength aud science, seldom if
ever excelled in New Orleans club.

Wednesday from two offices, and lively
developments are expected. Walter G..

Mr.. Wilson thereupon began making
arrangements for issuing another Sun
elsewhere. He discharged all the
employees from the old Sun and i'm
rnediately hired them for the new one.
All are engaged in the new building,
setting advertisements and legal notices,
and on Wednesday there will be two San
Diego Suns. In the meantime Receiver
Smith has notified the United
States district attorney at Los Angeles,
and just about the time Sun No. is
about ready to be printed tomorrow an
attachment will probably be served.
Mr.. Wilson is said to be determined to
publish the Sun, and Receiver Smith is
equally determined that but one shall
be issued.

| MEETING OF STORMS.
SEVERE AERIAL DISTURBANCES ON
THE ATLANTIC COAST.
Much Damage TO Shipping and Seaside
Resorts-The Tide in New York Bay
the Highest Ever Known-rhe Surf
Eating Away the Jersey Shore.

New YORK, March 1.-The present
epidemic OF aerial disturbances is due
to the meeting of two storms, one of
which came up the coast from North
Carolina, the other having its birth in
Central Ohio, and going east. Each in
creased in violence until they met about
midnight last night. Vessels that came
into port through He'll Gate report ter
rife weather on the sound, all being de-
layed and all passengers aboard being
very seasick-
Atlantic Highlands, N. j., reports the
highest tide ever known. Considerable
wreckage was cast ashore. A large ves-
sci is reported wrecked off Sandy Hook.
Several hundred feet of the new rail-
way was washed away near Milton Park
and large pile driver was sunk in deep
water.
This morning at Staten island the tide
was the highest ever known. Had it
risen another inch all the heating ap-
paratus on Ellis island would have been
rendered useless. The furnace rooms
of the big immigration building were
flooded this morning and 1t was only by
the greatest efforts that the fires were
kept going.
The upper bay was filed with wreck
age today. One of the Staten Island
ferries passed the wreck of a canal boat
drifting near Oyster island fat. A large
number of smaller craft are reported
seriously damaged, and there was much
difficulty experienced by ferry passen-
gers in boarding and departing from
boats. Many piers were submerged by
the high tide.
In the city many telephone and tele-
graph wires were blown down and poles
broken and wrecked. and there was
much delay in transmitting messages.
The storm is.still raging furiously to-
night. -
The surf at Long Branch has torn
away twenty feet of the bluff in front of
the old Leland house, ana great damage
is threatened by the high tide tonight.
From Elberon to Seabright strong surf
is tearing out the beach badly, and the
partially completed bulkheads are all
demolished. Several cottages near the
coast are in danger.
The storm is tearing out all the wires
along the coast, and has carried away
the pipes OF the Long Branch water
works, cutting off the water supply OF
the cottages at Monmouth Beach and
Seabright.
At Atlantic City building in
course of construction, intended to
be one of the finest business structures
in the city was blown down and several
smaller buildings demolished. A storm
ia also raging through Pennsylvania.

MILWAUKEE, March 1.-The Water
town locac train, due in Milwaukee at A
O'Clock this afternoon, ran into and de-
molished the rear end OF train loaded
with employees of the West
Milwaukee shops Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad,
killing seven men and injuring several

would be tempted to take the Fitzsim-
mons end. He has shown to be an es.
pecially good man, while the ability of
Maher is a matter of conjecture. He
has knocked out lot of heavy weights
of third class reputation since his ar
rival in America. He is regarded as q
wonder in some quarters, and may be,
but his public record does not justify
this opinion. He is an unknown guam
tity today. Tomorrow he will be a
known quantity. The writer has pre-
dilection for the tried against the un-
tried men, and therefore favors Fitz-
simmons, This theory is sometimes
upset, but it generally carries.
