Plaisted wv raw
to Row ON
KERNS' MACHINES
In Principal Theatres of
Great Britain.

Fred Plaisted, the crack American
oarsman and holder of many cham
pionshiD titles, and Wray, the Austral-
ian champion, win appear shortly in
the principal theaters of Great Brit
ain, rowing exhibitions upon the Kerns
rowing machines.
Plaisted was in the city for a short
time yesterday afternoon, registering
at the Forrest house. While here he
stated that he had received cablegram
from Wray, who is now in England
saying that the arrangements were now
completed, and that the pair could be-
gin on their circuit as soon as Plaisled
and the machines arrived upon the 9TH
err sides
Plaisted's principal object in coming
to Worcester was to confer with Ed
ward j. Kerns, inventor and manufac-
turer of the rowing machines, concern
ing the taking of three to the other
side. 1t is likely that Mr. Kerns will
build some machines especially for
Plaisted and Wray although it is pos
sibe that some of the machines Mr.
Kerns has now ON hand will be utilized
A couple Of years ago, Plaisted, in
company with James A. Ten EyCk Of
this city, appeared in many American
playhouses, giving exhibition races up
on the machines The act was q decided
novelty, and made as decided a hit. AT
the time offers We're made for the ap-
Dearance of the oarsmen in England,
but circumstances made it seem unWise
to take the "trip at that time.
Plaisted is an enthusiastic believer in
the rowing machines, that become so
popular with oarsmen in this city, and
believes that the English followers of
aquatics win take to them as kindly
as have the people upon this side. 1t is
expected that the pair viii occupy
about a year making their tour after
which they may venture upon the con-
tinent, although rowing there does not
have SO strong a hold as in England.
Mr. Plaisted left on the boat train
last evening for New York to. attend
to matters pertaining to shipping the
machines to the other side. He was
accompanied by Mr.. Kerns, who starts
on a business trip through the south
and middle west.

HE LOST BUT ONE
Pillsbury Gave a Grand Ex-
hibition.

Harry F. Pillsbury, chess champion
of the United States, met "a local chess
and checker players at Association
Hail, Y. NJ. c. A. building, last evening.
Twenty chess and fourteen checker
players fought from 7.30 o'clock until
midnight, and after the games were
over, the champion said that he had
met much better players than he had
expected to meet in Worcester. The
summary shows that the Worcester
players held their own in excellent
shape.
The hall was fairly well filed with
interesting spectators, who were near
ly all either chess or checker players,
and they closely watched every move
or checker board and read a story that
was as plain to them as if it had been
printed.
Mr.. Pflsbury gave his exhibition I'M
der the auspices of the chess and
checker club Of the Y NJ, c. A. The
club spent several weeks preparing for
last evenings battle, and the plays
proved that their practice had been
decidedly beneficial.
A delegation of out-Of-tOWn players
made their appearance just before ths
games commenced, and several mem
bars Of the checker club gave up thei1
seats to the new corners.
John Weir won the only game OF
checkers lost by the champion Mr..
Weir was congratulated by all his
frien S. and he viii remember the Oc-
casi0n for several years to come.
The following players are today proud
Of the fact that they fought their
games to a draw:
Messrs. Walls, Kirby, DAILY, Deniston
Eidder and Lawson.
The other players not mentioned
above lost their games.
In chess, i. p. Perry and q. Il Mac
namara won after hard-fOught battles
J. f. SaWin fought his game to draw
The others lost their games, but are
happy in the thought that they made
a good showing.
Champion Pillsbury plays a brilliant
game which it is a pleasure TO W9tch
He is at all times calm and collected
He appears to be thoroughly familiar
with every board on the floor, and
his memory and brilliant plays excite
no end of comment from the spectator

ON THE AVENUE.
Plenty Of Speed There But
No Decisive Brushes.

There was speed on the avenue yester-
day afternoon. But it was of the sort
seen in the sales ring rather than upon
the race track.
At least a score of Worcester horses,
having records Of 2:9O or better, from DR..
Frosts gray pacing mare Refina, with
her mark of 2:0S, to the animals that are
within the charmed circle by a mere
fraction of a second, We're on the snow
path. In addition there were many fast
horses that have never been tracked, and
others that never were fast and probably
never will be possessed of more than the
average amount of speed
With the footing as fair as ii was yes
terday, and with the large number of
road-driVers on the course, it was pity
that there should have been so little de-
cisiye, racing. There was speeding
enough, but not of the kind that counts
or aids in the question of ward su-
premacy. Refna, Abbie v, Eddie Cur
nan Arthur Wilkes and a few others of
that class were all out, but at different
times, for the most part, and the brushes
between them We're of a deSultOrY nature.
1t was distinctively a day for the tTot-
found on the avenue the PAGER has a de-
Cided disadvantage. 1T is the StrOng-gatt-
