Sale Of Directum still Affords Plenty

The sale OF an untried stock horse for
$50, 900 would have caused a genuine sensa-
ton ten or fifteen years ago, yet the trans
fer Of Directum. 2:O5A. to William Il. Spier
for that amount Of money has created hardly
a ripple Of enthusiasm among horsemen, who

being commonplace In appearance and he
has yet to get his first high winner on the
turf. Six Of his y~earling colts, however,
sold for $500 under the auctloneer's ham,
mer at Lexington last month. 1t was
largely on the strength Of their showing that
his new owner bought the horse. Speaking
of Directum's racing capacity, a we'll known
circuit follower said the other day: HE
could beat any other trotter that ever lived.
Monroe Salisbury used to say SO, even
when Alix and Azote were at their best.
Start the three in a race, all on edge, and
Directum would sell ~favorite over the field
UP to this time Directum's opportunities In
the stud have been none OF the best. He got
only a few foals in California while he was

Prof. Kaarlus. known in New York as the
BLACKSMITH billiardist," has Invented a new
crop OF billiard games that would turn an
ordinary mans hair gray to learn. He takes
half Of a broken billiard ball and stands a
big die, with the usual numbers on It, right
over one OF the spots on the table, aud
then freezes the object ball into one Of the
corners near 1t. The object is to carom
from the frozen object ball on the half ball,
and the shot counts the number shown by
the die when it falls to the cloth. Then he
marks the lower end of the table of into
squares, with numbers. like a bagatelle
board, and spots the object ball in front OF
the squares. The cue ball must make three
cushions before hitting the object ball. and
the shot counts the number marked on the
space where the latter finally rests, provid-
ing II finally does rest, in any Of the squares,
which is very doubtful.

HALL Adali, Terrible Turk II, better
known as the "Sultan's Lion" Is having as
much trouble in catching his wouli-be wrest-
ling competitors as his illustrious predecessor,
who is now feeding the fishes at the bottom
Of the ocean. A week ago he was slated to
w'restle with Tom jenkins, a 175-pound citi-
zen from Cincinnati, for 1000, rs per cent
Of the gate receipts and the worlds cham
pionship. 1t was to be a catch-as-catch-can
strangle hold barred, best two out Of three
falls, but It developed into a first-class
sprinting match. For a long while the Turk
rushed around and tried to catch jenkins,
but the Cincinnati lad was too swift for
him. Then the Lion went to his chair to
have the perspiration wiped from his body
and for this fault jenkins was given a fall.
Another sprinting match ensued and at the
end of fifty-seven minutes the Turk finally
captured the American, got him dow and
squeezed him until he beloved. The fall
was awarded to the Sultan's Lion and the
match ended in a draw for lack Of time to
pull off the remaining bout. Such is wrest-
ling in New York.

with his master, and for his masters pleas
ure. The dog at the end Of a days hunt Is
often far more tired than his master, and
needs a good meal just as badly as does
the two-legged hunter. What a different
feeling there is between the way a mar feels
after a hard day in the woods and before
eating dinner, to the way he feels after that
meal. 1t is just the same with the dog. He
wants a good meal after his hunt, and "a
few scraps won't do. With the patent
dog cakes now manufactured at so low q
price, there is no excuse for any man going
on a hum, whether into the woods or to a
hunting resort, and running the risk OF
being able to secure "a few scraps" subject

eat dog cakes when broken up and without
being stepped, soak them for a while, and
then get a little pot-liquor from the cool
and make them into a tasty dish. Any dog
will soon learn to eat and relish them. and
they make excellent material on which t.
