UNIQUE SPORTING CARNIVAL.
Phenomenal Prizes to Be offered at the
French Exhibition.

Phenomenal Prizes to Be onered at the
French Exhibition.
The sporting community is to be catered
to on a lavish scale during the next French
Exhibition. The big event does not take
place until 1900, but the outlines are already
we'll defined, and the Committee on Sporting
has drafted g most attractive programme.
The following details have been published:
I'VE are still some way of the great
French Exhibition Of 1900, but preparations
for it have already been commenced. and
among other projects which have been put
more or less Into concrete form, is one re-
lating to the sborting department.. A COM
mittee was appointed some time ago to draw
up scheme, and after deciding that the
sporting section should be located In the
large park to the east Of Paris, known as the
Bois de Vincennes, this committee mas sugges,
ted that shooting prizes to the value OF about
$175,000 shauld be offered, OF which Sl0o,ooo
will be for rifle, revolver and target shoot
heavy ordnance, and 5000 for bow and ar
row and crossbow shooting. 1t has been de-
cided that the regattas, for which LIBERAL
prizes will be- offered, shall be held on the
River Marne, which Is close to the Bois de
Vincennes, while bicycling, which Is scarcely
likely to have gone out Of fashion in the five
years time, Is not forgotten In the pro-
gramme, the proposal being to set aside q
sum of at least $50. 900 for series OF twenty
fixtures, most Of WHICH will take place on
Thursday (slways half holiday In France),
and at which, In addition to regular races.
there will be organized parades, notably OF
military cyclists OF all nationalities.
"The Municipal Council Of Paris has already
provided an sGcellent cetnented bicycle track
g quarter ot mile In circumference at a
cost Of s1s, ,OG and the committee suggests
that this should Se somewhat enlarged, and
that stands accommodating five thousand
spectators should be built. Nothing Is said
with regard to horse racing, doubtless be-
cause the committee presumes that the
Jockey Club, the Steeplechase Society and
all the conductors Of the other meetings near
the capital will take proper action, while
the technical section Of the sport-the dis.
play Of sporting apparatus OF every kind
will be included, Of course, in the general
plan Of the exhibition itself; and there Will,
presumably, be International shows OF Live
Stock, as In 1878 and 1885,"

GENERAL JOHN NEWTON DEAD.
It Was He Who Engineered the Blowing
Up of He'll Gate.

It Was He Who Engineered the Blowing
Up of He'll Gate.
General John Newton, the well-known
engineer, veteran OF the late war, and Com
missioner of Public Works Of New York
City, died at his residence In New York
City of pneumonia
General Newton was born In Norfolk, Va,
August "a, 1923, and from an early age
showed remarkable mathematical ability.
His desire for military life was SO strong
that his father secured him an appointment
to West Point. His record at the Military
Academy was q remarkable one, and In 1842,
when he was graduated, he was second IN
class Of f1fty-six.
In NAV, 1864, General Newton was trans
ferred 10 the Army Of the Cumberland and
placed in command Of the Second Division Of
the Fourth Corps. under General Howard.
He fought In ali Of the battles during the In
yasion Of Georgia, and throughout the war.
In April, 1866, General Newton, as Lieuten-
ant-Colonel OF Engineers, was ordered to
New York City to begin number OF improve
ments. the greatest Of which was the removal
of distractions In the river at He'll Gate. He
took up his residence in New York at the
time, and has lived there ever since.
To successfully accomplish the removal OF
the dangerous rocks at He'll Gate required
the solution Of difficult engineering problems
never before grappled with and the inven-
ton Of new apparatus, notably q steam
drilling machine, which has since been IN
general use. Those empowered to select
a man for the work hit upon Cen
eral Newton, and he carefully and con-
scientiously studied the problems, and the
accuracy OF his conclusions was shown IN
the exact correspondence Of results with the
object that he sought. Hallett's Reef and
Flood Rock, having been scientifically
mined under his directions, were destroyed
by two great explosions. the first on septem-
ber "a, 1876, and the second on October 10,
1885.
General Newtons wonderful engineering
work in these matters excited the admiration
OF engineers all over the world and many
compliments were showered on him.
