who broke the intercollegiate broad
jump record at Syracuse on MAY z,
in the dual meet of the Syracuse Uni
versity and Cornell, bids fair to be-
come one of the leading athletes OF the

Cornell beat Columbia Saturday in

tween these universities.

as mike Murphy's marvel" did some
splendid work on Saturday. In the

which is better than the intercollegiate
record. In the l2O-yard hurdle he came
in first in l6 40 seconds, starting eight

For those who have ridden year or SO,
the S4-inch gear is deemed nearer the
proper one than the rest, although there
are many comparative novices who insist
on using higher one. A nine-tooth rear
sprocket is about the smallest that is be-
ing made this year. This with 27-tooth
front sprocket gives an 81 gear. Eight
tooth rear sprockets are seldom made ex-
cept by special order. When they are
used with 24-tooth front sprocket, an 81
gear is obtained, as is also the case with
a 10 and 30 tooth sprockets. or in all
cases where the number of teeth in the
rear sprocket is exceeded three times by
those in the front.

Records of Goddard and Maher.

Joe Goddard was born at Pyramid
New South Wales, on November 25,
1861. He is feet tall. He has been
fighting since 1889 and has engaged in
over fifty battles.
He has defeated such good men as Joe
Choynski (twice), Joe McAuliffe, the
Mission Boy, Denver Ed Smith, and has
fought draw with Peter Jackson. God
dard sustained his first defeat at the
hands of Denver Ed Smith at New Or
leans on March 3, 1898. The rair boxed
before the Olympic A. G. OF that city,
and Goddard was knocked out in
eighteen rounds.
The latter's last battle was with Tom
Sharkey, who defeated him quite hand
lily. Goddard and Maher came together
on December s, 1892, at the old
Coney Island A. c. They were to have
met to a finish for purse of $500.
Maher was put to sleep in three
rounds.
Peter Maher first saw the light of day
at Galway Ireland, on March IS, 1869.
He is 5 feet III inches tall. Peter has
been in the ring since 1883.
He made quite st in Dublin by
knocking out Martin OHara in two
rounds. In 1889 he boxed two friendly
rounds with Peter Jackson. On October
7, 1891, Maher came to America. After
beating several minor scrappers he was
matched to box Bob Fitzsimmons at
New Orleans before the Olympic A. G.
for a purse of $4,000. The battle was
decided on March 2, 1892 Fitz made
Peter quit in twelve rounds.
In that contest Maher came near blast
ing Bob's reputation in the first round,
but he was too inexperienced to follow
up his advantage. He was whipped
again by Fitzsimmons at Langley, Texas,
on February q, 1896, in one round.
After this Peter figured in many nota-
BILE contests, his last battle being with
Tom Sharkey on June 8, 1897, which
ended in draw after seven rounds.
Maher was signed to box Jim Jeffries,
for a purse of $4,000, some time next

A GOOD DICTIONARY FOR TWO
CENTS.

A dictionary containing the defini-
tions Of 10000 Of the most useful and
important words in the English langu-
age, is published by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. While
it contains some advertising, it is COM
plete dictionary, concise and correct.
In compiling this book care has been
taken to omit none of those common
words whose spelling or exact use occa-
sions at times q momentary difficulty,
even to we'll ducated people. The main
aim has been to give as much useful In
formation as possible in limited space.
With this in view, where noun, adjec-
tive and verb are all obviously con-
nected in meaning, usually only one has
been inserted. The volume will thus be
found to contain the meaning of very
many more words than 1t processes to
explain.
To those who already have dlction-
ary, this book will commend itself be-
cause it is compact, light and conven-
lent; to those who have no dictionary
whatever, it will be Invaluable. One
may be secured by writing to the above
concern, mentioning this paper, and en-
closing a 2-cent stamp.

by an appeal to violence and by denun-
