the match race between Joe Patchen

the pole for the first and third heats
Notwithstanding this advantage the
race demonstrated that Star Pointer
was too fast for him, for latter won all
three heats handily. First heat they
went away well together, and at the

Paris, Aug. 23.-General Lopez Domir-
guez. who was Spanish minister of war
in the last cabinet of Senior Sagasta, is
now in Paris In the course of an inter-
veleW he deeply deplored the death of
Senor Canovas del Castillo, particularly
because of the war in Cuba and the gen.
eral disorganization of politics in Spain.
He regards General de Azcarra ga, the
new premier, as a clever and tactful
man, but does not believe he will be
able to replace Senor Canovas. as the
dual task of being head of the govern
ment and also the head of the Conserva-
tive party is heavy one. In the opin-
ion Of General Dominguez, circum-
stances will necessitate the return of
Senor Sagasta to power, as the Con-
servative party is crumbling, largely
through the fault. he said, Of Senior Sill
vela. leader of the dissentient Conserva-
tives, and of Senor Robledo.
Thinks Uncle Sam Will Not Interfere.
He says Senior CASTELAR, has decided
not to re-enter politics, but that his ad-
vice will always be sought by both Lib
eral and Conservative governments IN
concluding the interview General DOM
inguez said: Il do not believe that either
Europe or the United States will inter-
fere in the Cuban difficulty. Spain has
incalculable resources at her command
and the only thing to be feared is tha,
political disputes may prevent the sup
preston of rebellion which has row

MORE TIME TO EAT.

The city school board has made a
good thing in changing the noon recess
of the schools from 30 minutes to one
hour and a half. This has been lone
for the benefit of the children. 1t will
require the teachers to put in one eX-
ira hour to rest an extra hour at noon.
This won't be a very great hardship
to the teachers; while it will be a
great benefit to the children and a
great relief to their parents. 1t takes
a long pull and a strong pull to get
the machine out of the old rut, but the
present administration is doing 1t.
During the late Mayor Paschal's term
the noon recess question was voted on
by the parents, in order to ascertain
how they regarded it. The result of
this vote was never definitely known;
it is certain hat a large majority ia
vored a long noon recess, but the
school authorities voted it.

MAHER-SHARKEY
Their Fight Tonight Attracting At
tiOn

ton.
New York, June 9.-Much money has
been wagered on the Maher-Sharkey
battle tonight-more than on any pug
ilistic contest decided here in recent
years. Maher is a pronounced favor
lite. The prevailing odds are ten to
eight in the Irishman's favor, though
several enthusiastic admirers of the
Irish champion have laid two to one
against Sharkey's chances.
"Pittsburg Phil" the turfman, who
is a very warm admirer of Maher, says
he will bet as much money as he can
get on at odds of 10 to s. He has seen
both men spar and believes that Shar-
keys aggressive rushing style OF fight
ing will suit the. Irishman nicely. He
has told several friends tina he thinks
Maher should win inside OF ten rounds.
"Pittsburg PHIL certainly has had a
very good line on Makers work, as
he has been doing all his training for
the battle at "Phil's" stable at Morris
park.
Dan" Lynch, the hacker Of Sharkey,
says that he will be at the Gravesend
race track. today prepared to bet $4,000
to $1,000, or $4,000 to $4,000, that ,Shar-
key will win.
The sale Of seats for the ontes is
unprecedented and the largest crowd
V seen at a ringside may witness

CITY TOPICS.
THE MAYOR GIVES HIS PERSON
AL ATTENTION.

Mayor Callaghan is evidently striv-
ing to ingratiate himself into the good
graces of the people by giving his per-
sonal attention to every matter requir-
ing attention. He is up early and
drives Overcome street after another to
see what can be done to improve their
condition. If a complaint is made Of
any particular nuisance or street need
ing repairs, Mayor Callaghan goes in
person before he sends his sub to work.
He spends as little time as possible in
his office, because there is plenty of
matters to receive his attntion outside.
The aldermen find themselves caught
out every time they hit a ball by the
mayor. He can tell them more about
their wards than they know them
selves. This is we'll enough and shows
that the mayor is wide awake.
