LOCAL SPORTING NOTES.

Jersey" Gordon took a run up from
doe Rays farm this morning, and drop
ped i'll The Times office to report himself
i'll No. / condition for his coming fight
with Pat Raedy, before the Young Mems
Athletic Club, on January 16.
Gordon looked as fine as fiddle. and
said that he would step into the ring on the
night OF the contest i'll as good shape as he
ever was in his life. He expressed himself
as confident that he would have the best
OF the argument with the local man, a nd ad'
vises all of his friends to have a swell bet
down on him.
The mana cement OF the club have secured
Hughey Lyons and Spider Kelly for a
preliminary go on the night of the Raedy-
Gordon contest. These lads were to have
boxed the night DAILY and Abbott met, but
owing to the small amount OF money in the
house, the preliminary was done away With.
The new Walkaway Athletic Club is
booming along i'll great shape. The club
was only recently organized, but they al
ready have nearly hundred members.
The club will go in for baseball during the
coming season, and expect to have a team
that will make the best of them jump out
and hustle.
Their first venture in the sporting line
was to invite Pat Raedy TO do his training
for his fight with Gordon at their club
house. They have done everything in their
power to fix things up in such shape that Pat
will not have any cause to complain OF lack

PEARY'S FIRST LECTURE
He Delivers 1t Before the Philadel-
phia Geographical Society.
No Other So Poorly Equipped Expe
dition, He Says, Would Have Ac-
complished us Much as His Did.

Philadelphia, Jan. 9.-Lieut. Peary, the
arctic explorer, delivered his first lecture
here last night before the Geographical
Society, Illustrating it with stereupticon
views.
As Lieut.. Peary expresses it, 1t is i'm
possible To imagine the unutterable loneli-
ness OF that interminable white plain, where
the cold is intense, always ranging from
30 TO 40 degrees below zero, and always
wind drifting the fine arctic snow.
Sometimes the drift is but slight, a few
inches above the surface at others il was
knee deep, and the weary travellers were
compelled to plod ON through a rush OF
snow that made its wading like the con-
stant fording OF a stream. At other times
the wind blew with the power and velocity
or a blizzard, and the snow was so dense
as to make respiration almost impossible
Through all of these thrilling times. when
starvation and death by freezing stared
them in the face; when the faithful dogs
had perished, all save a miserable rem
nant, SO reduced that they Were unable
to drag the sledges through the drifts,
the little party OF three still kept their
faces to the north and pushed ON to Inde-
pendence Bay, coming out almost at the
same spot as in the expedition Of 1892.
1t was here Lieut.. Peary said that they
had the first fresh unfrozen meat they had
haQ since leaving the headquarters ut the
Red House. He continued by saying that no
such badly equipped expedition had ao-
COmpished SO much and few would have
undertaken the journey across the 500
miles or the great ice cap so poorly provided
for. They had nothing 10 take the place
of the alcohol, pemniican, and the pea soup.
which were lost in the caches.
On the first of April the expedition started
across the great ice cap. Lieut.. Peary said
it was warm and clear, and with them they
took three Esquimaux, wLo Travelled with
them 124 miles inland, where. Oh Saturday
at midnight, they found themselves in sight
of the first cache of tie previous year. at
an altitude Of 6 900 feet above sea level.
Here the natives were sent back and the
party went on nOrthward. The first 400
miles were successfully and unevcntfully
passed, but after that point was passed,
trip began, and when, several days later,
land was sighted, the number OF Cogs had
been reduced by starvation ana exposure
to eleven, and il was then that herd OF
muskoX was sighted. This saved the remain
ing dogs and the whole party from pei.
isling. A little mere than week later
they reached the end Of their journey and
were forced to turn back.
1t was with bitter DISAPPOINTMENT that
we We're forced TO turn our faces homcward
again with nothing accomplished" said
Mr.. Peary. ut required ten years OF plan
ming, three years OF exile, and months of
weary travel in tie dreariest waste of the
North, and still we have not reached the
goal ~
