ATHLETIC ARENA.
Hurdlers PufFer and Chase Will Meet
in a Match Face.

Fred C. Puffer, the crack hurdler of
the N. J. A. c., who at the Metropolitan
championship meeting at Saratoga last
month lost, through over-confldence, the
high hurdle race to S. Chase of the New
York A.C., will endeavor to turn the
tables at the MAC. Olympiad at Ber-
gen Point on Labor Day. Chase has en-
tered in the hurdles and will give Puff
fer a close chase in every sense of the
word. In order to give Puffer a chance
to defeat Chase the N. j. A. c.. has added
a special 12O yard hurdle race, in which
only the champions will compete. =
Puffer is training hare for this event
at Bergen Point, and his many admirers
predict a victory for him, but he will
certainly have to run the fastest race of
his life, and there is but little doubt that
a new worlds record will be the outcome
of this race. The New York A.C. men
are equally confident that Chase will
win, and lovers of athletics will certainly
be repaid for their journey to Bergen
of these two giants. Puffer is a photo
grapher, twenty-three years old, stands
six feet half an inch in height and weighs
about $50.
one which stands today as a worlds re-
cord, was his race over the 220 yards
hurdles at Worcester, Mass, October 8,
1892, where he made the phenomenal time
of rs rs secs. around a turn. Som of
Puffer's championship records are:-120
yards hurdles, 1892, Is 2-5 secs; 1893, IS
secs; 220 hurdles, 1892, 25 2-5 secs; 1893,

scales at five pounds. The prize of SO for
the next largest fish was won by Mr.. 7.
French. The days pleasure was not
marred by any accident, and the party

Schmidt Takes Possession of Ia
saloon, and Says IN VIII Rum 1t.

Mrs, Schmidt Takes Possession of the
Saloon. and SAYS She VIII Efun 1t.
John Schmidt, a veteran of the late war,
who is we'll known in the Greenville section,
opened a saloon two years ago at No. 466
Ocean avenue. Being somewhat isolated
the saloon did not pay as well as Schmidt
expected. During the past few weeks bust
ness was exceptionally bad, and Schmidt
found it a hard task to supply the needs OF
his family. His failure to supply pin money
to his spouse caused many a quarrel In the
Schmint household, aud on Thursday last
Mrs. Schmidt, backed up by her son-in-law,
Christian Ficke, unceremoniously took pos
session OF the saloon. Before Schmidt had
time to object to the proceedings he found
himself lying in the gutter outslde
and his wife and son in-law guarding
the entrance. He departed sad and broken
hearted, but on Saturday night he again al
tempted to regain possession OF his saloon.
A free fight followed the attempt, and when
the smoke of battle had cleared away
both Schmidt and Ficke were dazed
and mutilated. Policeman Green, of the
Fifth precinct, arrested the asprrants for
pugilistic honors, and locked them both mp in
the Fifth precinct station house. Counter
charges of assault and battery were
made by both prisoners. Each secured
a bondsman later in the evening, and
they were released. Mrs. Schmidt says that
she is the owner of the house IN which the
saloon is located, and hat it was her money
that furnished the saloon. She further says
that her husband has failed to provide for
her and her children, and that she decided
that the only way the saloon could be made
profitable was by BUSTING Schmidt. The
case will be heard by Justice Douglass at the
Comnunipaw Avenue Court.
