more since like affair had occurred. At
that time n galyanic device was attached to
some of the saddles used on certain Now
Jersey tracks, with II view 10 waking up
unwontod enthusiasm In the frames of
wornout hacks.
In the original contrivance the battery
connection was Nado rather awkwardly by
means of a hook which had TO DO pulled
out. In the improved mechanism discov-
cred at New Orleans the same result is re
complishod by means OF rcmovablo but
ton which the jockey carries TO tho post I'm
his mouth, and which, when it is neccs.
sary TO administer the ahock, is inserted in
IA pinhole in tho rommol
when tho pin is not in its place. close
examination docs not reveal the presence
OF anything but the materials which enter
into the construction of an ordinary saddle
as the pinhOle Is no larger nor more CON
spicuous than n pore In the pigslsin. Even
when the connecting plug is in place, il ia
hardly noticeable, as the head is covered
with leather and is countersunk into tho
surface of the pommet
The dry cells and tho induction coil arc
concealed bctwccn the leather and the rcd
flannel lining, and the connecting wires
are so arranged that the current can either
be run down the stirrup straps 10 the stir
rups and from the 6tirrlps TO the spurs,
or can be brought in contact with the
horses sides through fine tinsel thread
running through iho girth.
The ingenuity displayed in the construo-
ton and use of tho fraudulent device has
awakened grave suspicious in the minds of
turfmen and excited the fear that such
frauds are far more widely practiced than
could have been heretofore believed. The
effect Of the find will be an increase of
watchfulncss on the part OF race officials
and a close scrutiny of such old selling
platers as are suspiciously speedy.

LEONARD AND AHEARN DRAW.

Over 1000 persons attended the stag at
the Manhattan Athletic Club, Troy. last
night. The event on which the interest
of the sports centred was the 20-round
bout between Nike Leonard of Brooklyn
and "Billy" Ahearn of New York. Both
weighed in at l3S pounds light.
The bout throug hout was characterized
BY fierce fighting. Leonard doing most
of the leading. For the first two rounds
1t was even up. In the third Leonard
nearly knocked Ahearn through the ropes
with q terrific leftswing. lie followed II
up by repeated blows in the face.
From this time on Leonard forced the
fighting, and in the 18th round landed
with his wicked left on Ahearn's face re-
peatedly, drawing the claret and sendin
the New York boy to the ropes decidedly
groggy. The.soupding of the gong saved
Ahearn from being put out.
In the 18th he came up smiling and the
crowd cheered.
His ability to stand punishment was
wonderful, and In the Goth round, despite
the terrific pounding he had recsivea, he
was still very much in the fight. The
bout was declared q draw.
