THE HORSE

The sport-loving element of Marys-
Vile and vicinity will have an oppor-
tunity to abundantly satisfy it's tastes
in that direction in few weeks, for a
meeting is now an assured fact, and
with the exception of a 2-year-old evert
and district affair, the program is filled
in manner satisfactory to the manage
ment. The meeting will be held from
August 9th to 14th inclusive, being next
iD line in the California trotting circuit
after the breeders equine entertainment
at Oakland. There. were 1856 entries,
comprising large majority of the
horses that are in training in the state.
The program for the five days shows
seventeen different events, Of which nine
are trottiDg races and eight are for side
wheelers. The purses, which range all
the way from 5000 to $500 in. value, make
total of $4,000 to be divided among the
breeders of fast nags in light harness.
Persimmon, the winner of the last
English Derby, is owned by the Prince of
Wales. In 1896 Persimmon won the St.
Leger, putting $4,000 into his owners
pocket. The Derby was worth $27, 1000,
and the eclipse stakes. the richest prize
in. England, was pulled down by Per-
simmon, adding $4,000 to the large score
of winnings the great horse has earned
for his royal owner. The great runner

An old trotting horse man, who is a
pretty keen observer, made a few re-
marks the other evening about drivers
of the present day that hit some of them
pretty hard. He said: eff there's any
thing I hate 1t is to see one Of these ere
dude drivers that are too heightened to
take hold of a rub cloth and work.
They'd sooner stand around with their
kids on and give orders and take the
word of their men that the horse was all
right. I've seen Johnny Goldsmith take
off his coat many a time, roll up his
sleeves, grab a cloth and go to work as

Doble, Geers, Marvin and lots of high

The annual tournament Of the South
ern California Associated Tennis clubs
commences today on the Casino courts
at Santa Monica. The entry list for this
year includes all the best players in this
section. and that is saying good deal
Some of the southern players have won
laurels on the northern courts, and have
proved themselves fast enough to play
in any company.
Picher and Freeman, of Pasadena, the,
present intercollegiate champions, are
the likely men of the year. Freeman
holds the southern championship a pres
en-, having taken it from Bumiller last
year. His game at present is said to be
greatly improved, his strength and
great reach giving him a decided ad-
vantage in all full-court play Picher
his team mate in the doubles, should be
the challenger for the champion round
this year, judging from present form. HIS
stroke is fast, accurate and exceedingly
we'll placed, he passing player at the
net with remarkable speed and ease. His
net play, moreover is a strong factor
in the game as he plays it. When Free
man and Pitcher meet in the champion
ship round, as they should do, unless all
signs fail, a battle royal should result.
These two players should exhibit such
tennis as has not been seen here since
the great Carter-Burton match
Bumiller, the now emancipated Gin
FAINT phenomenon" is in some respects
the most brilliant player of the southern
contingent. Physically, however, he is
in no condition to meet such trained ath-
letes as Pitcher, Freeman or Jas. Cra-
ven. For this reason, despite the fact
that he is playing in very fine form,
Bumiller is hardly likely to reach the
championship round. This will be a
great disappointment to those fair de-
voices of the game who at tennis tourn-

THE RING

Danny Lynch thinks he has two world
heaters in Eddie Connolly and Tom Lans-
ing, whom he brought out here along
with Tim McGrath, Sharkey's trainer. He
is looking for matches for both men, and
is willing to make big concessions in
weight to get on some fights. Both of
the men are between 20 and 81 years of
age.
Tom Lansing Is practically new man,
but he did well in his short career in the
east before boxing was stopped. He fights
at 154 to 1853 pounds, and Lynch says he
will match him against Jeffries if the Los
Angelese wants another fight right away.
Lansing put out Dick Baker before the
Arena Athletic club in New York in four
seconds. He also put to sleep Pat Dag
gett, the alleged champion of Ireland, in
two minutes and thirtyfive seconds be-
fore the Palace Athletic club of New
York. He was matched to meet Henry
Peppers, we'll known locally, before the
same club on June 16, but Brady saw
trouble was brewing and paid forfeit.
Lynch says he is not afraid to put Lans-
ing against Kid Mccoy.
Eddie Connolly is here to meet any one
from 1928 and 1888 pounds, though he cam
not get higher than 1872 or 1873 himself.
Connolly is a very clever man and has
beaten every one he has gone against ex-
cept Kid Lavigne, and he battered the
Kid up pretty we'll before he got the de-
cision in a twenty-round go against
him.
Connolly is willing to meet Hawkins at
1928 or $780, Lynch says he will try to
10, hi
Keever. Kid McPortland, Jack Ever
hart, Spider Kelly or Lon Agnew at any
weight not over 1873 pounds.
There is plenty of discussion over the
Hawkins-Dixon draw and opinions are
given freely. The idea held by a ma
jority seems to be that Dixon was merely
playing his old game of measuring MS
opponent, as he used to do in all limited
round contests, and that in finish hight
he would show up his hitting powers
with all their former speed and accu-
racy. Hawkins objection against
Hiram Cook as referee will not add
greatly to his popularity among large
number of ring patrons. Cooks repu-
tation for fairness is far above that OF
the bruiser that an objection comes with
very poor grace from the latter.
| A. Livingston, the agent in carson
City for Dan Stuart, is in San Francisco
for the avowed purpose of attending TO
preliminary details for pugilistic car
nival to be held during the Nevada state
fair in the capital of that state in the
latter part of September. He Will not
discuss the proposition as he says noun
ing has taken definite shape. AS LlV-
Of ba
ricultural association, under whose
auspices the State fair is held, and as
he is Stuart's representative, his pres
ence here gives color to some of the talk
made by Brady in New York. Livings-
ton says that the differences between
Stuart and Brady may be patched up

veriscope Brady may take the manage
ment of the carnival and purchase the
$40, 900 arena at Carson.

CURIOUS LANDS IN FLORIDA
A Tract of $4,000 Acres Which Is Al
ternately Land and Water

Payne's Prairie, three miles south of
this city, covers an area of $4,000 acres
A large proportion of the prairie is now
covered with water, but there are thous-
ands of acres around the borders of the
lake which has been formed on which
horses and cattle Craze. There is no way
of estimating the number of cattle, but
there are many thousands, and they are
in fine condition. The prairie, or sa-
wanna, which it really is, occasionally
goes dry, the water passing out through
a subterranean passage called the sink.
Where the water goes to has never been
determined. When the sink is open the
lake goes dry, and when the outlet be-
comes gorged or choked, lake from five
to seven miles wide and about eighteen
miles long is formed. When the waters
Of the lake suddenly leave it, thousands
of alligators, snakes, fish and turtles are
left with nothing but mud for their place
Of abode. The fish and turtles perish,
but the saurians and reptiles seek and
find other quarters. For miles along the
northern border of the lake there is a
succession of sinks, averaging in depth
all the way from twenty-five to one hun
dred feet. Subterranean passages run
in every direction, leaving the ground in
the shape of honeycomb. The ground
is liable to give way at any time, Great
ing a new sink. The scenery around the
lake, especially on the north side, is
unique and grand, and is an attractive
feature to strangers who visit this city.
The sink has for many years been pop
ular resort for citizens of Gainesville,
who go there to fish, boat ride, and in
other ways enjoy themselves. 1t is said
that this vast area of land could be
drained at trifing expense, and were it
drained it would be the largest as well
as the richest tract Of productive land
in Florida. 1t is for the most part q

Sight of a Balloon Made Him Sane

The announcement that Flint, Eddy &
Co. of this city and Beeche & Co. of
New York and Valparaiso, Chile, had en-
tered into an arrangement to carry on
business jointly in this country and in
Chile recalls an interesting incident in
connection with both firms, which are
among the largest in their line in the
United States and in Chile.
The founder of the house of Beeche &
Co. was Augustus Hemenway of Boston,
who went to Chile in 1929 and with his
brother, Charles P. Hemenway, estab-
lished the first American business house
in that country While the firm was at
the height of it's success he suddenly
went insane He was brought back to
the United States and placed in an asy-
lum. He remained there for eleven
years, during which time his interests
were looked after by a trustee. His
mind was apparently entirely gone, and
it is said that during his isolation he was
furnished with piles of gold in the form
of American eagles with which to amuse
himself.
While walking about the grounds of
the asylum one day ne suddenly per-
ceived a balloon floating far overhead.
The sight of the balloon served to restore
| his reason. In a moment the realization
of his mental condition came to him.
The fact was at once brought to the at
| tention of the medical superintendent of
the institution, with the result that Mr..
Hemenway was soon afterward declared
to have recovered the full possession of
his mental faculties.

The Hawkins-Dixon match was a dis
appointment to many followers of the
ring, in that a decision one way or the
other was not reached. Hawkins excel
lent showing was a surprise to the fol-
lowers of the little brown man; but the
wise ones are saying that the draw was
only one of Dixon's games for getting on
finish match.
Jeffries, the big Los Angeles fighter,
was distinct disappoin tfnent to his
friends in his recent match with Rubin
of Ohio. The recent claims of coming
championship form made for him by his
supporters seem to be entirely unfound-
ed, and his ability to win from the husky
Ohio lad has sent his stock down. There
