The Weld crew, which won thu inter

recently, will, if present plans are car

of the fine showing that the crew made
a number of prominent Harvard grad

funds sufficient to enable the crew to
make the trip to Philadelphia. The re-

crew will compete for the national
championship. The members of the
crew will continue in light training
during July and will about Aug. ! as

Proposed International Handicap IL At

1t is reported that next winter or

track an international handicap in
which horses representing the United

There can be no doubt that as n

all records for attendance at one after
moons racing in the United States will
be broken. 1t is useless to speculate on
the size of that crowd, for the race rs
contemplated will surely never take
place.
To begin with, there is not in Canada
a native bred horse good enough to cope
with the American cracks, such as they
are this year, and experience has shown
that English and Australian horses ale

horses brought to the United States

proved by Ogden last year, but if a
horse is imported at that tender age and
is reared under American conditions
until he natures he ceases altogether to
be English in anything but pedigree.

relative merits of the various methods
of breeding, rearing, training and rid

where the thoroughbred has attained
his greatest stage of perfectiOn-to wit,
America, Australia and Great Britain
but the change of climate, or, rather,
its results, would be so great handi-
cap to the imported animals that III all
probability they would not have one
chance in 10000 to do themselves jus
tice and i'll consequence the very object
of the race would be defeated before
the start was effected. -Horseman.

Effect of Bad Batting.

to have them pop up fly or drive the
ball straight at fielder makes them

TWO or the Men Hanged Were I'M
pOrtant Witnesses for the State.
BISMARCK, N D., Nov. 15-An inter-
esting legal question is presented by yes
terday's lynching of three of the Spicer
murderers. Two of the men, Holytrack and
Ireland, were the states witnesses, and
without their testimony the state has no
case against the two surviving suspects,
Black Hawk and Defender. There is, there
FORE now no possibility of convicting them
before any tribunal, for the reason that the
states witnesses, self confessed accompices
of the murderers, are dead At the COM
ing term of court when the two men are
arraigned for trial they must be dismissed.
The feeling against Black Hawk has been
intensified by the report that Coudot con-
feSSed before his hanging that Black Hawk
and Defender We're concerned in the crime.
1t has been the opinion of a large number
of people in Emmons county that Black
Hawk was the instigator of the deed. If
he is discharged it is predicted that,
unless he has an escort out of the country.
he will share the fate of his comrades in
crime. Defender, the other survivor has

BOSTON, Nov. 15.-Frank Mclaughlin
and his wife, Mary, were found in an UNI
conscious condition in their home, in South
Boston, this morning. Both had been shot
and both, it is thought, will die. The man
was revived by the physicians, who were
summoned, and in a short time able to
talk. He informed the police that his wife
had shot him while he was asleep and that
she afterwards attempted to kill herself.
Mclaughlin, who is in the advanced stage
of consumption, had been ordered to the
hospital to-day. The police believe that his
wife, driven to desperation, decided to end
both of their lives. They had lived in alb
ject restitution and there was only single
piece of bread in their rooms. Two months

TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 15.-Ex-Senator
William d. Edwards, of Hudson county
late this afternoon, made application to
Justices Van Syokel, Dixon and Collins, of
the Supreme Court for recount of the bal
lots cast for and against the anti-gambling
amendment to the Constitution at special
election on Sept. %. Mr.. Edwards asked for
a rule to show cause why mandamus
should not be issued directing the election
officers of about three hundred election pre-
cincts in the, State to recount the ballots
and to count those which were rejected.
Mr.. Edwards stated that the anti-gambling
amendment had been carried by SOP votes
and that he had reason to believe that near
ly if not all of the 961 rejected ballots were
against the amendment and if counted
would change the result. The ballots had
been thrown out because they came under
the definition of marked ballots in the gen.
eral election law. The law providing for the
special election had nothing in it about
marked ballots and nothing preventing the
use of pencil or ink of other color than
black in marking the tickets The hearing
was continued until tomorrow
