What Will the Go Dop

ST. Louis, March PA bill was re-
Gently passed by the state legislature
known as the horsebreeders' bill. It's
chief purpose was. in the language
of the bill, to encourage and foster
the speed, power and physical endur-
apce of man and beast"
Encouraged by the elasticity of these
terms, a number of patrons of the
prize ring here have organized, on pa
per, an Olympic club with the purpose
of outbidding Carson, New, for pugil-
istic encounters. There are two seri-
Gus obstacles in the path to- success.
One is that Governor Stevens has not
yet signed the bill, and probably viii
not, and the other is that the attorney
general of the state says he will prose-
cute any one attempting to bring off
a prize fight. The Olympic club will
not incorporate unless the governor
signs the bill.

SEAL FISHING.
Poorest Results Known in One Hun
dred Years.

st. Johns. N F., March 27.-News
from the east coast sealing fleet was
received today. Out of 16 steamers
fishing in the North Atlantic, II have
been heard from, whose combined
catches are only 1000 seals, less than
a load for one steamer. This is the
worst record for 100 years. There is
little likelihood of the fishery being re-
trieved later from total failure. In
Guiding three laden steamers fishing in
the gulf of St. Lawrence, only $4,000
seals are now reported, and it is not
probable that this number would be
doubled by the close of the season,
whereas last years total catch was 22O,-
600, which was regarded as much be-
low the average.
