MINISTER Stewart L Woodford had
quite an experience with tho Spanish rep
Iesentatlves as he was taking his leave of
Spain on Friday. At Vallalold, on tho
Spanish frontier, quite demonstration
was made against the Minister, but his
train was under the protection of guards,
A private Spanish detective boarded tho
tram at Tolosa and demanded that Joa-
quin Morena, disembark from the cars. Tho
General protested against tho attempted
Interference with his suite, declaring that
Mr.. Moreno was his private secretary and
British subject, The Spaniards claimed
that he was Spanish subject. Tho GEN
sral refused to give him up to tho police,
aud placed himself in the doorway of the
compartment in which Mr.. Morena was
travelling, declaring that he would only
surrender the latter If forced to do so.
When the Spaniards were given to under
stand that any Interference with Morena.
who was British subject might lead to
complications with Great Britain the hot
headed Spaniards withdrew.

The Elkton Management gave the start
ing machine trial yesterday. The re-
suit was that all the starts were good and
prompt although few OF the crazy ac-
tors were left. But, as everyone wss
home in good time yesterday they will
more than likely continue to use the ma
chine which proved itself q winner.
The surprise Of the day came in the
fourth race when Glover Vendig easily
defeated A. B. Dade and Whippany at
the good odds Of 10 tol.
The talent and books quit the day
about even as the long shots that did
win were played to be in the money
quite heavily.
Following are the summary, entries
and selections for today.

ACUATICS.

1t was recently asserted that the Cor
nell crews were partly supported through
the earnings of the football team. A
prominent Cornell athlete denies this
statement. He says that every cent
used for the crews is raised by subscrip-
ton from the undergraduates and alumni,
who are enthusiastic in supporting the
college navy. Each student contributes
what he can afford. Some give 81 and
others $40. The balance is made up by
the alumni. As matter Of fact, Cornell
athletics are financed in very able
manner.
After the Pennsylvania crews returned
to the boat house from their daily spin
yesterday, Captain Howell informed the
following men to move into the training
house at once: Hall, Reugenburg, Busch,
Snoves, Folwell, Kevey, Buckwaltcr, and
Webster. The training table will be
started next Monday by Caterer VIM
ley.
Davy, the boat builder, has compiled q
new shell for the Harvard SO crew. 1t
is 63 feet over all and weighs 235 pounds.
1t is braced like the '99 boat, but is
built of lighter wood.
Armstrong OF Yale is coaching the
Naval Academy eight -oared shell crew.

CYCLING.

The members of the White Squadron
cycling team will be August Lehr, Ger
many's champion; Karl Kaiser, cham
pion Of Switzerland; Jaap Eden, the
Dutch sprinter; Earl X User, A. C. Mer.
tens, Gougsltz, of France, who has re-
peatedly lowered the colors of the Ameri-
cans during the last winter; John s.
johnson, the great former amateur, of
Worcester, with q probability Of Arthur
Gardiner.
Passini and Tomaselli, the crack
Italian tandem team, will sail for this
country the second week in April and
will form part OF Eck's stable Of riders
to be located at Woodside Park Track,
the better part of the season.
1t is very probable that Earl Kiser, the
half mile champion, and A. c. Mertens
will sign with the Spalding team as
mates Of Eddie" Bald, and also enter
into an agreement with the American
Cycle Racing Association. kiser held
long conference with President Pat
Powers yesterday which lends colorto
the report.
A. C. Nertens will race at Atlanta,
Ca, April 4th, after which he will go to
Hot Springs.
The Jallu brothers will sail this week
for this country. They will bring q
number Of electric pacing machines over
with them.
Miller, champion long distance rider
Of America, will ride against Cordang,
Huret, Rivierre, Stephane and two other
foreigners at Berlin on May % in 10O-
kilometer paced race. At least that is the
present outlook. Miller has been invited
to ride by the promoters Of the meet.
He has replied to the letter, stating that
he would 60 to Europe if the Germans
would pay his expenses, and is now
waiting for reply.
Lucien Lesna, who was in this country
last season met with severe accident
recently on the French track at Paris.
In 4 race of 100 kilometers, in which
there we're four contestants, Lesna's front
tire touched the rear tire on his pacing
and he was thrown heavily to the sur
face. He was 90 badly injured that he
had to bs assisted from the track. He
insists that he will return to this coun-
try this year.

Linton who is now in this country, will
unquestionably prove the peer Of Jimmy
Michael. when the two meet, Linton is
one Of the hardest working riders the
track has ever seen, in which he is very
like Michael who is himself ap indefati-
gable worker. The meeting between
the two men which will probaHy come
off late in the season, ought to he, and
unquestionably will be; the greatest race
ever seen in this country.
The speed which Arthur Gardiner is-
played in the South: is commented upNp
bv all. He won his races as he pleased
and could sprint eighths without effort
in l3 is and 2-5 seconds. This perform
ance could not be duplicated by any man
on the track today. Gardiner is five
lengths faster in the home streLch than
any other rider and will prove this the
coming season. Gardiner races for
pleasure and not for the money there is
in it. He never takes the chances Of
other riders, and in this way loses many
races.

Tommy White intends to quit pugilism
and go to Chicago, where be win engage
in business. White has promised to
retire number Of times, but has never
made his promise good.
Tom O'Rourke will give good purse or
q percentage Of the gate receipts for .
twenty-round contest between Peter
Maher and Bob Armstrong, to be decided
at Syracuse, N. Y, next month. In re-
gard to Sam Fitzpatrick's claim that
Joe Walcott is not in Jack Daly's class;
O'Rourke said: IF Daily will meet ice
at Syracuse l will give the pair purse
and wager $5 900 TO A 900 that Walcott
will win. Or will waive the side bet
if DAILY consents to fight my man."

has not signed his contract yet, but it is
said his failure to do 90 is caused by Lis
having some difficulty in getting of the
Philadelphia police force. 1t is hoped
that will be successful within few days.
Jimmy Donnelly, the former Giant, who
is with the Browns, has not yet reported
for practice and President Muckenfuss is
wrathy at the delay.
Nick Young's new list of umpirss con.
tains many new names. OF the old staff,
Lynch, Emslie and ODay are the best
that could be appointed, but Heydler,
Wood and Connolly are unknown guam
titles. Favoritism entered into President
Young's appointments, for Snyder,
Heydler and Wood are Washingtonians.
1t would have given more satisfaction it
the selection had been more national in
its character. New York is, az usual,
not represented on the umpire staff.
DeIahanty has not been hitting the
ball, but he covers the left garden in
pretty near the right way. He had nine
putouts and one assist yesterday without
an error, and not all easy ones ut that.
When the season opens in Philadelphia
something is liable to drop among the
old men. All the players cannot 60 on
the regular team, and it will be hard to
overlook such men as Flick, Elbertield,
DOUGLASS and one or two others.
President Reach will have something
to say about the makeup of the team.
He isn't spending his time at Cape May
for nothing.
shortstop Richie has come to terms
with Louisville. 80 has Infelder Dolan.
Charlie Dexter will be tried at third
base by Manager Clarke Of the Louis
villes. -,
1t is said that Arthur Irwin and
Charlie Dooley will take the Montreal
and Toronto teams to England next
fall. :.
James J. Corbett admits that he made
$l7, 600 out OF baseball last season. Pret-
ty fair salary for first baseman Of his
class.
Manager Selee OF Boston, has wagered
a $40 suit that Chicago will beat out Gin
cinnati. Mr. Selee must be desirous of
shortening his bank account.
st. Louis has signed Tom Smith, the
pitcher who made failure with Boston
two years ago, anu who was afterward
tried by Minneapolis and found want
ing.
Despite the tail-end position Of the St.
Louis Browns last year, eight OF them
we're strong enough to secure places on
other league teams. They are Hart
man, Grady, Hallman, Cross, Donahue,
Douglass, Murphy and Hart.
Two extra games are to be played by
the Yale team, Holy Cross and Wesley
an playing at New Haven, Conn, on
Wednesdayiand Saturday of this week.
There seems q be no let-up in Flick's
batting, and the hope is that he will be
able to continue lining 'em OUT dur
ing the playing season.
Now that McAleer is back in the game
Cleveland's right field lies between
Sockalexis, Blake and Pickering.
Pitcher Beck, secured from Toledo, is
not likely to be used at all, owing to bad
condition, and will remain at the Hot
Springs the better part of the season.
Esterouest is sizing up as a pretty good
third baseman.
