surgical operation was necessary. So
much did he dread the result, for if un-

GIhE OF HOCKEY GIAHTS
Shamrlcks Defeated the Mon
treals by 8 TO |.
BEAUTIFUL TEAM WORK
Canadian Experts Gave an Exhibition
at the Ice Palace That Made the
Local Players Open Their Eyes
Enormous Crowd Watched the En-
citing Sport.

Last night was a gala occasion at Con
venton Hall Ice Paiace.
The attraction of 4 hockey and lacrosse
match between two teams that had played
the game since infancy, had the effect to
draw one OF the largest crowds of the
season.
There were over two thousand spectators
and the ice surface was glided over by as
many as six hundred skaters.
The patrons of the palace are being
gradually educated into an understanding of
the eXhilarating game of hockey, and s"
far have they advanced in learning that they
are now able To bcstow intelligent APP
piause whenever Il brilliant play is exc
Cuted.
1t seems TO be true that Canadian babies
are born with hockey sticks in their mouths.
II appears 10 be perfectly easy for Cana
dian To slip ana slide around on ice and
WELD a shiny stick with deXterity.
In fact, TO see a caSadian walking, after
seeing him skating, excites the impression
that il was never intended for him to trans
port himself other than by steel runners.
The hockey game at the rink last night
was between The MQntreals and the Sham
rocks, the crack clubs Of Canada.
The Montreals held The championship If
their country for ten years, but lost ii last
year 10 picked team called the Victorias.
The YictoriaS have since disbanded.

and even thirty per cent on the dollar

amounts TO about $50 600. Garner &

FouR GREAT SKATERS.

FOUR GREAT SKATERS.
There are four men who will try con-
illusions next week. They are known the
world over ana are probably four OF the
fastest men on the ice who are skating
today.
They are Joe DonOghUe OF Newburg, N
Y; Howard Moshier of Storm Eng, n. Y;
John T. Davidson OF st. PAU and Harley
Davidson OF Toronto.
All three OF the latter named have beaten
Joe Donoghuc, once the champion or the
entire world, at one time or another and
had. until that worthy took a hand and
broke three worlds records at the rink

several trial races.

John T. Davidson has the following rec

SOME FAST RECORDS.

Howard Moshier's records are excel
lent, the following giving some idea OF his
prowess on the steels: zoe yards, flying
| start. 7 seconds: 100 yards. standing start,
| 10 seconds: 220 yards, standing start, con-
! petition, 1915 seconds; ard 40 yards.
standing start, competition. 80 secoEds-
bis time for the haIf mile is 1:20; one
mile, Pot; two miles, GOO; and five miles,
1854.
In bicycling, Moshier holds the State
record of Pennsylvania for l mile, going
| it in 2:12; the State records OF New York
for / mile, 1-3 mile and % miles, and has
gone 1-2 mile from a flying start in 5S
seconds.
Harley Davidson seems to he the most
Formidable man that Joe DoRoghue viii
have to come up against. His records in
dictate wonderfully fast man.
They are as follows. 100 yards, stand
ing start, s 40 seconds; Zoe yards, flying
start, 6 1-2 seconds; 220 yards, standing
start, IS 1-5 seconds; 440 yards, 20 10
seconds: 1-2 mile 1:16, and 1 mile, IN
paced, in 2:5T.
In his trial races he has the following:
1 mile, 2:43; miles, 5:54; miles, sos,
and . miles, 1902. 1t will be seen from
| these records in comparison with those
Of Donoghue that he comes the nearest to
coming up to the one-time champion
Donoghue's time fer the different miles
made in his five-mi!e- rccOrd-breaking
race are as follows: Mile, 2:5S 1-2; miles,
SAT; miles, S:44 1-2; mi;es, 11:z6 i-2.
Harley Davidson Is also tie champion

| class B records up to five miles.

city it is their intention OF trying tue
same trick under the same circusmtances
and that is the principal reason why such
a galaxy OF talent in that direction should
be present here at the same time.
Joe Donoghue's skating capabilities are
well known to the public of Washington, for
nearly everyone in the city sd W him at one
time or another during his engagement here.
He now holds the worlds records for one
mile. two miles and five miles, besides a
number of other less important records,
having obtained them in his trial races here
during the second week in February.
His time for one mile is 2:3S, one Of the
most remarkable performances on ice ever
heard of. His time for two and five miles is
5:32 1-2 and 14:47 "a, respectively.

1t is claimed by the republican press
that all the old soldiers are for McKin-
ley, but this claim seems without
foundation. Fully half the Grand
Army men in the vicinity of The
Dalles are rallying around the stand
ard of Bryan, and this seems to be the
case in other sections as well. The
Roseburg Review, in telling of how
the speech delivered by Hon. A. S..
Bennett, of this city, terminated at
Roseburg (which it mentions as one of
the most enthusiastic meetings held in
that city, says:
IAN old soldier announced that a
majority of the members of the sold
iers home was for Bryan and silver,
and this evoked hearty cheers. Next
white haired gentleman came to the
front of the house and said:
Thirty years ago the fest republi-
can convention of Douglas county was
held in the old court house which stood
on the site of the present building. 1

convention, and have always been a
republican. I claim to be republl-

VIM. j. Bryan for president This
man is one of Douglas county's most
honored pioneers, Mr.. David Fate, Of

brought out more hearty cheers, and
many of the audience thronged around
Judge Bennett to shake his hand and
congratulate him on his Speech"
