should be appreciated by them in the
future.
John Croker had a few five spots on
Gallatin as he thought he was q good
thing.
There were only seven books on the
line. 1t seems strange that there should
be less books on Saturday than any other
day during the week.
Fred Gay lost $50 on the day, but as
he found dog that was worth 500 he
claims he quit SO winner.
Hurry ran his race yesterday and won
from such horses ~ Jingle Bells and
Bardetta. This is quite a reversal Of
form. Wednesday he started in race
with Bardetta and was beaten at least a
half dozen lengths, but comes rihgt back
in three days on the same kind OF q track
and makes Bardetta look like she can't
walk.
Ben Brush il entered both in the
Brookly Handicap and the Suburban.
This does not necessarily mean that he
will remain in this country. The proba-
bilities are that he will race here this
spring, and when the sea weather gets
more settled be sent to Europe for the
fall races. Mr.. Kcene said that the
weather at sea is too unsettled at this
time of the year to trust such valuable
racing machine as Ben Brush to its mer-
cies. The horse is consequently entered
for the forthcoming big handicaps here,
and when the season is more advanced
and the weather milder he will be sent
to England if the situation at that time
jllstifics such an ambitious undertaking.
Before he closed the deal with M. +.
Dwyer and secured Ben Brush, Mr..
keene talked with friends about the
horse and expressed the belief that the
~ Suburban winner was a good enough
horse to win the Goodwood Cup and
similar races over a distance of ground.
Mr.. keene appears to have bought Ben
Brush for his staying qualities, and these
are to be utilized in racing for the big
events in England from ali indications.
Jacob Pincus has charge of the Keene
horses in England, and it is probable
that he will also train Ben Brush, though
Frank Brown is expected to take the
horse to England.

Cornell won't make another effort to
arrange a race with Yale this year. The
Ithacans consider their answer to Yalc's
challenge very fair and are now indiffer-

Athletic c 'uncil, in an interview on the
subject says: "We took Yale precedent
in our answer. Our terms were cquiva-

CYCLING.

'Ex-Champion Arthur A. Zimmerman
and Willie Windle have been frequen
visitors to the cycle show in Philadel
phia during the past week. Speaking 0
Zimmerman's chances in re-entering thu
racing field, Windle says he believes thu
"Skeeter' will win just as he has in thu
past from the fact that he will meet the
foreign riders at his own style of compe
tition, that without the assistance O
pacemaking.

A. d. Cooper of the Chicago Cycling
Club claims the honor OF being this
country's best long distance rider. Last
year he rode AIS miles, $500 on a
tandem. His daily mileage has been
checked by two persons, who Will make
affidavits that it is correct.
Jay Eaton will race Coburn at St.
Louis on Feb. %. Eaton is picked as
the winner by those who know what he
is capable of on an indoor track.
Michael and Shafer are having new
pacing machines built by Chicago firm.
A new evil confronts the foreigners
who propose to invade this country when
the cycle season opens. Foreign paco-
makers are considered far superior to
those in this country, and they perform
their work for much smaller sums. An
expert declares that a large party of
foreigners will be qllartered at one of the
big Eastern tracks and used as wanted.
Now it is claimed that the Contract
Labor law will interfere with the French
and English pacemakers, whom the pro-
moters are rushing to get under con-
tract.
Something new in the shape of bicycle
sundries was shown recently at the cycle
exhibition in Paris. 1t is a toot-warming
pedal, and the idea of its originator is to
keep the feet warm to comfort
able degree. The pedal is a sort of a box
in which are inserted two small cakes of
charcoal composition that burn slowly
and do not cause any smoke. They are
guaranteed to burn for four hours before

August Lehr, the German champion,

MISCELLANY.

Il. Il. Anderson, with record of /:
mile in l minute 3 seconds on a bicycle,
paced by locomotive, is to make a sim
liar time trial ON Memorial Day.
1t is estimated that fully twenty per
cent. of the manufacturers of bicycles in
the United States will market some sort
OF chainless model this year in addition
to their regular chain drivers.
The week OF August has been decided
upon for the 1898 L. A. w. meet at In
danapolis, and the racing circuit will be
arranged SO that the men will have
ample time at that city to become ac-
customcd to the track ON which the
championships will be ridden.

weight boxers are never tired talkina
fight, they will seldom consent to fight q
man whom they think will stand chance
with them, but are perfectly anxious to
try conclusions with some third-rate
boxer whom they can punch to sleep in
less than three rounds. Now, here is
Peter Maher, who is matched to meet
poor old Peter Jackson, who was re-
leased from the "Uncle Toms Cabin"
Company for being too old and slow.
They are to box in San Francisco in six
weeks, and Jackson will surely get his
quietus in few rounds. Maher knows
perfectly well that Jackson cannot fight
any more, and that is the reason why he
lost no time in accepting Jackson's chal-
lenge.
Parson Davies occasionally says some.
thing clever, and one OF his latest is to
this effect: II have noticed picture of
Fitzsimmons and Kid Mccoy standing
up at arms length, in which a phenom.
enal reach is shown in favor Of Mccoy.
Now, as matter of fact, If ] am not
greatly mistaken, Joe Choylski out
measures the Kid in length OF extended
arm, ,and as for Bob Armstrong, he would
pick fruit for market out of tree under
which the Kid would starve to death.
One might think from the tales of Nc
COy's reach that he would have to keep
his arms bent to avoid scraping his
knuckles on the ground, a la chin
panzee."
1t would be perfectly safe for Caspar
Leon to challenge Bob Fitzsimmons,
James J. Corbett and Kid Mccoy.
Mccoy is making bad name in the
West. Not only is he charged with fol-
lowing the lead of Fitzsimmons and Cor
bett and talking other peoples heads off,
but it is said that he is one of the most
and close-dealing of stars
in money matters. More than that, it
might be said that he is using the name
of the clever young California middle
weight, Charley Goff, as a poss ible op-
ponent, without the permission and to

Deafness Can Not be Cnled

by local applications as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an in1amed condition of
the mucous surfaces,
