Eastern Horses Entered in the
Worlds Fair Stakes.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Entries made to
the big Western races to be run at Chi
cago next summer indicate that good
many horses owned in this vicinity will
go to the "Windy city, for a chance at
the rich stakes. Among the entries for
the two big handicaps there, the Column
bus and the Wheeler, are lot'of horses
that were expected to race here in the
East exclusively. This is surprise to
the managers of the Eastern tracks, who
had expected no such showing, and they
will have to stir themselves to keep the
horses in the East. One reason for the
evident desire of the Eastern owners to
race in the West is the fact that they do
not fancy the handicapping here, and
there is no doubt that there has been
good cause for complaint.
The list of entries secured by Tom
Ochiltree in England for the stakes of
the C0ney Island and the New York
Jockey club has arrived. The Coney
Island Jockey club received fOrty-nine
additional entries to the Futurity. max
ing total for the Futurity of 1895 of
1,O92 entries. There are five entries for
the Metropolitan handicap. thus making
the total slxty-six. For the New York
Jockey Club handicap three are entered,
for the Toboggan Slide five, and for the
All Breeze four.

Spectators Of the Trial Think

Is Better.
Results Of Races at Gutten-
sai burg, Gloucester and
New Orleans.

This John s. johnson, of Minneapo
lis. seems to be wonder in the athletic
world. Yesterday he put on his skates
and went out to kick hole in the anna
teur one-mile skating record. He not
only hit hole in that record, but en-
tirely demolished all records for one
mile.
A few days ago Joe Donoghue, of
Newburg, n. Y, cut the amateur rec
mediately declared himself as out to
cut it still further. He made
the attempt yesterday afternoon and
succeeded beyond his widest hopes.
The trial was made on the Normanna
Skating clubs rink. johnson had pace
makers, but they impeded rather than
aided him. He went the mile, from
pistol shot to pistol shot, in 2:45 So.
And that is wonderful time. 1t lowers
the amateur record 10 2-5 seconds and
cuts under the best professional record
for one mile by 2 2-5 seconds, the record
having been 2:4S.
Johnson's performance is sure to be
questioned. but those who saw the trial
think the record will stand. The only
question pertains TO the length of the
track. The correctness of that can be
easily determined. The wonderfully
fast miles which have been made On
that track within week cause some to
say that the track is short. The GLOBE
called attention to this question week
ago today, when it chronicled Hagen's
marvellous performance in making the
first two miles of three-mile race in
2:55 and $3.50 respectively, when the
conditions were unfavorable--b bitterly
cold day and flint-like ice. Johnson
Skated under favorable conditions yes
terday. The time seems all right. The
official timers were Messrs. Gulbronson
and Aaker, of the Normanna Skating
club, and l.. r. Redfield. II. w. Eek
also held q watch. Aaker made the time
2:45 flat, Gulbronson 2:46 flat, and Red
field and Eek 2:45 3-5. That seems to be
all right.
Spectators say they never saw such
skating as Johnson did. Many of them
believe he can go still faster. He was
perspiring little, but his breath was
regular and easy when he finished.
A week from today series Of races
for the championship of the state will
be,brougnt off at the Normanna rink.
A number of entries have already been
received. The fastest men in the state
will be there, including Nilsson, of Min
neapolis, and Scheibe, Of st. Paul.
Tomorrow afternoon the policemen
race for handsome gold star will be
skated.

GLOBE MEN VICTORS.
Successful Opening OF the Shuttle
| board Tournament.

Successful Opening OF the Shuttle
board Tournament.
Switchboard is unique and fascinat-
ing game. While comparatively little
known in st. Paul, it can claim a few
score of devotees who have mastered its
intricacies more or less and who have
tested its satisfying character as a pas
time and method of light exercise. The
game is virtually curling on an elevated
board, except there are no circles drawn
OH the board. Many possible combina-
tions are developed as the game pro-
crosses. Trueness of eye and steadineSs
of nerve are requisites to success. But,
as in all other games, the element of
luck enters more OF less into the result
The first tournament at Switchboard
ever held in the Northwest opened last
night at Reber'S rooms, Oh Fourth, near
Jackson, where the SWITCHBOARD club
INDUCES its love for the game in mo-
ments that can be spared from business
| pursuits by the members. This tOurna-
ment is between teams from the news
prper offices, and promises to develop
into feature of the winter paStimes OF
the city.
Teams from the GLOBE and News
met last evening in the presence of an
interested audience anu pldyeu Tie
opening games. The terms were
best four out of seven on each
board, and though the playing was
exceedingly close at times, not a Ques-
ton arose to give occasion for a cross
word or the least dissatisfaction on
either side. The gentlemen composing
the News team played strong game,
and at times seemed to have points
secure beyond peradventure, but when
a star shot was necessary it was forth
| coming to spoil their combinations. The
GLOBE team won the first three and the
fifth games on Board No. l, and won
four straight on Board No. 2. thus scor-
ing the first victory of the tournament.
Teams from the Dispatch and Pioneer
Press will meet to play Tuesday even
ing; Thursday evening the GLOBE and
| Pioneer Press teams will meet. and Sat
| urday evening the contestants will be
| the News and Dispatch.
The friendly rivalry existing as to the
merits of the respective players, the
handsome and costly medal offered by
| Mr.. Reber, and the satisfaction to be
enjoyed by the final victor of all the
teams will certainly develop intense
interest in the playing as the tourna-
ment progresses. Strict order is main
tanned in the room during play, and
ample provision is made for all spec

IN DANGER OF STARVING

BALTIMORE, Jan. 30.-A special COM
missioner of the Baltimore Sun has
made trip over the ice from Franklin
City, Va, to Chincoteague island, about
seven and half miles from the former
place and separated from the mainland
by Chincoteague bay. 1t has a popula-
ton of 1000. The coal supply is eX-
hausted. The storekeepers have an
agreement to sell only fifteen pounds of
flour to each customer a day, but
at this allowance it is impossible
for the supply to hold out longer than
Monday. Those who have cattle or
hogs have already begun to slaughter
them. Owing to the scarcity of prov
ender, owners have been compelled to
turn the ponies loose upon the marsh,
in which they get only what they can
find by paving the snow off the ground.
Assateague island, which lies southeas.
of Chincoteague, has population of
from rs to 100. The people have to
come to Chincoteague for food. The
cattle Oh both islands are suffering for
food. Beside the trials by the cold
weather on the island there is an cpl
demic of measles, nearly every family
has some one sick, and in many cases
! the disease has proved fatal.

Both Getting Into Condition for
the Coming Mill.
NEW YORK, Jan, 21.-Things pugil-
istic, which have been languishing on
the verge of decay for the past two
weeks, have received great boom. 1t
came in the shape of tall, slim, light
compleXioned young otherwise
William Murphy, of Australia. Mr..
Murphy has punched his was through
snowdrifts from the West, and now
hopes to punch his way into pugilistic
glory by defeating Johnny Griffin, the
"Braintree lad," at the Coney Island
Athletic club Feb. 6. Articles have
been signed, both men are in train
ing. and the lovers Of first
class fstic sport are discussing the
merits of the men. That it will be a
hard-fought battle all agree. In the
coming match Murphy believes he will
be the victor in not more than ten
rounds. He is in pretty fair condition
now, having virtually commenced train
ing i'll San Francisco, and will need but
little training to get into perfect form.
Good reports continue to come from
Boston concerning the preparation in
Gritfin's case, and the burden of them
is that he will enter the ring in pretty
nearly perfect condition.

NOT CLAIMED AS RECORDS.
Skaters Make Fast Time at Mil
Waukee.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 21.-There was
large attendance at Schlitz's park skat-
ing rink tonight to see three OF the
worlds speediest skaters. The ice was
little soft, and this, coupled with the
ill-shapen track, did not show the skat-
ers off to advantage. Eight laps is called
mile. but it is an imperfect one, and
the time made tonight in any OF the
races are not claimed as records.
Harold Hagen, the Norwegian cham
pion, skated a mile in 2:S74. This
is about eight seconds faster than
the worlds record, but Hagen himself
thinks it would be impossible to make
a mile In that time, or faster than three
minutes on the Milwaukee track. The
race was followed by NorseDg in an eX-
hibition race of two miles, which was
made in 5:24114. The final event was
tive-mile race between Hagen and Nc
Cormick. They started from opposite
ends of the rink. The rink was too
small to skate side by side. Hagen'S
time by miles: First mile, 2:3714; sec
ond, 5:134; third, 7:54; fourth, 1882;
fifth, 1910 As. McCormack's time for
tile five miles was 1929.

The Ice was now clear for the other
events, and game was played for the
consolation prizes, but 1t was on the
river, however.
ID. Kitchen, of Winnipeg, defeated j.
A. Dryden, of Milwaukee, II to land >.
S. Chandler, of Waupaca, was defeated
by ID. Kitchen, 25 to 10.
The next thing that came on was The
play for the John johnson trophy. Only
one game was played in the afternoon,
although there was a game played yes
terday morning too late for publication.
The latter was:
Alexander McCulloch, st. Paul, s, VS.. R,
McCoDochie, Cambria, II.
The game yesterday afternoon was
between John q. Hinkles' st. Paul rink,
and that of r, McConochie, of Cambria.
The latter won "a to 10.
S. Nelson, Of Chicago, forfeited to j.
M. Welles, of Portage. His men had
been overtasked, and the were too tired
to make the play.
The play in the contest for the George
F. Hall medal was continued until early
yesterday morning. The scores were:
E. W. Kibbee, Chicago, 10, vs. j. II. Weiles

The initial match game was played on
the inside ice yesterday afternoon for

Of st. Paul, and resulted Is to 10 in
favor of the Sanity City expert.
The play for the Merriam trophy in
the afternoon resulted as follows:
j. Patterson, Brandon, 9, VS.. w. Ii. Spar
ling, Portage la Prairie, Is.
The contests were all pretty we'll mar
rowed down yesterday afternoon. The
conditions were most favorable, and
the shots were true and scientific,
as a rule. The Nettleton rink continued
TO carry off honOrs. He mad hot battle
with the famous R. w. Dunbar, Of Win
nipeg, as indicated in the score just
given. 1t was perhaps the most eXcit-
ing contest of the entire series, and
when Nettleton won it the Nushka cry
went ringing through the club house.

The interest in the DAILY GLOBE
bowling tournament continues unabat-
ed. Foley's alleys are the scene Of daily
practice games. and the number of new
players that are trying for the first
time to make ten strikes is surprising.
The craze is not confined to st. Paul,
however. All over the country tOurna-
ments are now in progress. The GLOBE
was really in the van in encouraging
the sport. 1t is only little more than
year ago that the different alleys i'll
the city found few patrons. 1t was then
that the GLOBE conceived the idea Of a
tournament, and the effect was cleo
trlcal. All the young athletes became
suddenly interested in the pastime,
until there are not enough alleys in the
city to accommodate the demand.
+t+
The GLOBE challenge cup will soon be
on exhibition at Foley's. This goes to
the winning club, but it must be sue
cessfully defended three times after the
conclusion of the original series before
the ownership can pass to any club.
Challenge rights will follow IN the order
in which the various clubs finish the
tourney. For illustration, the club hay-
ing the second best percentage may
challenge first. and then the right will
pass down the line until the tankard
shall have been landed.
IT
The tankard is ordered through Myers
& Co., the popular jewelers. on Third
street To increase the interest in the
strife for supremacy on the bowling
alley, Myers d Co. have placed an ele-
CANT mante clock in the list of prizes,
and this. too, will be seen at Foley's in
a few days. The clock will go to the
second club in the tournament, and the
club may either get up an individual
contest for the trophy or keep it as a
club.
