IRELAND'S CHAMPION

Race.

LOCAL ATHLETES WARNED

s,he mile scratch run at the New Jer-
wv q DECORATION Day games is
Nv assuming all the Importance
,~nterna tional contest. An entry
,aeived Yesterday from an athlete
record gives him a big chance
INST such noted flyers as George
lon. Tommy Connect, Charles Kilpat-
and Andy Walsh. He is Timothy
cMahon of Limerick, Ireland, a recent
arrival whose chief ambition is to meet
the best runners on the American path.
McNahcn commenced running in his ma
tive district in 1889 with such marked
snccass that he was induced to try his
luck in the Irish metropolis at the open
ing meet in 1891. The Handicapped rated
him highly, giving him the nominal
start of five yards in the half and fifteen
in the mile. The Limerick lad could
have as easily gone as far penlnd
scratch. and he romped away with both
events, going the half in 1853 and the
mile in 1872. He was at tmce touted as
future champion, and he justlfled the
prophecies by taking the blue ribbon OF
the wear in both half and mile, his re-
suective times being 200 As and 4:SShs.
He had a still easier task in the los2
championship when he won the mile at
his leisure in 442 275.
He tried for the one mile English
championship in 1892 and made such a
bold show after travelling night and day
chat he and Fowler forced Harold Wade
to do 4:19 LIS. The Limerick boy finlsn-
ed third and earned a standard mccall
by doing 4:23; w. E. Lutyens, who has
been picked by the London A. q. 70
compete here, was almost tnlrty yarus
astern. Mcmahon rested in 1873, put lasI
year found him very busy, and ne scored
many brilliant wins, including the l,ooo
yards Midland Counties Steeplechase
Championship at Nottingham. England.
Since his debut he had a mortgage on
the mile championship of Munster, Which
he has won five times straight, doing
as good as 4:25 in 1891, after winning
the half previously in two minutes on
rough grass. He has rarely been beaten
in a scratch race, and his trophies num-
Der $50, of which 1856 represent first places
in important races.
The official book of the intercollegiate
Association of the Amateur Athletic
Union of America is published in the
current issue of Spalding's Athletic Lii

tuition, bylaws of the association, list OF
clubs. officers and committees. 1t also
contains the new athletic rules for the
coming year and complete records of
each event that has been held since
1876 up to the present day. 1t also shows
tabulated records of the points scored

Many groves promise, barring disaster,

To appreciate the value of such groves,

be abandoned altogether. The demand
for oranges will never be less than it was

while the supply, for years, at least, will
be fifty per cent less than last winter.

DODDRIDGE.
A Rising Railroad City in
Sulphur Township.

The Texarkana g. Shreveport
Railway is now running to Dod-
bridge, in Sulphur township, 2S
miles south of Texarkana.
Already a depot has been con-
structed, and the town surveyed of
into business and residence lots and
there is not particle of doubt as
to it becoming a commercial place
of considerable Importance. Sui
phur township raises from six to
eight thousand bales of cotton, we
are told, and nearly all of it will be
marketed at this new railroad town.
This, together with other products
of the soil, fine timber lands, etc,
will insure its making a live town.
For some time to come Doddridge
will be the southern terminus of the
Texarkana & Shreveport railroad.
Town is well located, on a high,
sandy plateau, four miles east of
Bright Star and three miles west of
Spring Bank; Kelly bayou, near by,
will receive the drainage and offal
of the place.
Work of opening out the streets
will begin at once. Opposite the
depot is "Fouke Place" a wide plat
of ground, upon which will front
the business houses, to be built at
first; then there are the following
avenues, running east and west;
Collins, Slay, Bryant, and others,
Several merchants are arranging
to locate there right away, and ere
another two weeks elapse, a half
dozen or more new store houses will
be in course of construction. One
or more saw mills are expected to
start up soon,
1t is estimated that not less than
4, 600 bales Of cotton will be brought
to the new town this fall.
Now is the time to get in on the
"ground floor" as lots are going
cheap. The first stores will reap a
rich harvest.

company many dollars In switching
cars, The bond for title has been
made we learn, and It Is q certainty
that they will abandon their pres.

from our state but glad the move
will not affect our city as a whole.
