County Commissioner Gus Harte and
Sheriff Mcdonald were members of a party
that paid a visit to Lake Quinnebaugh last
week. They went cstensibly for ducks and
geese, but got within gunshot of nary a
bird. They made good use of their oppor-
tunity, however, by chopping holes in the
ice and angling for fish, returning to the
city with big mess. Chris Hanson yester-
day sent word to this city that the lake
has opened and in a couple of days good
duck shooting will be on tapis.

One OF the latest indications of returning
prosperity in harness racing is the an
nouncement OF another $4,000 race for the
Hartford trotting meeting. The big purse
is to be for 3-year-old trotters and may
become a fixed event like the Kentucky
Futurty. 1t is to be known as the Hart
ford Futurity and the inaugural race will
be for foals of 1899, to trot at the Grand
Curcuit meeting in 1902. The Hartford Fu-
turity is the fourth new 100000 trotting
race announced thus far this year.

An interesting event for lovers of amateur
sport will occur in the gymnasium OF the
Young Mems Christian association next
Saturday evening. 1t is to be an indoor
meet between teams representing the as
socation and the Nebraska university. This
will be first-class and interesting contest
and VIII prove of interest to spectators
The two teams have been practicing for
some time in anticipation of the event and
the winners will not succeed in carving
off the prizes until after they have become
fully aware that they have been in a
struggle.
The team that will represent the State
university will be composed of Benedict
Pillsbury, LIE Mar, Swallow and Pearse, some
of whom are the best athletic men in the
institution. The association team will be
picked in competition from the strongest
men. The two teams will compete in the
following events Pole vault, running high
jump, three broad jumps, shot put and
quarter of mile potato race. The team

The relative distances travelled by differ.
ent horses abreast on a half mile track
is an important factor in a horse race, bu
the horses farthest from the pole seldom
receive credit for that which they really ac
complish. A mathematician has gone tc
much pains to figure out the exact dis
tances travelled by different starters, pro-
vided they keep their positions, and here
are the figures: The horse that has the
pole and trots at a uniform distance o
three feet from the rail travels exactly
one-h half mile or 2,640 feet. A course ex
actly parallel to that taken by the pole
horse, and feet from the rail, measures
60 feet over the half mile; feet from
the rail, 1874 feet; feet from rail. 49,
feet; feet from rail, 20 feet; feet from
rail, 31.3 feet; feet from rail, 37.6 feet

August This stake was originally for $30 :
OOO but was divided so that $4,000 was
trotted for, by the two year olds at Fort
Wayne last year, leaving $4,000 to be cap
tured in August. Some sixty colts and
fllies are so far eligible. All of last years
winners are being especially prepared for
the stake and the field that will face the
starter will comprise all the crack three
year olds of the season. The next event
OF interest for the youngsters is the Ken
lucky futurty of $4,000 to he decided at
Lexington in September This stake was
for time the blue ribbon event of the year
for colts and tillies, but the division of the
purse between trotters and PAGERS and the
larger amount offered in the Horse Review
futurity has robbed it of much of its claim
to pre- eminence.

based upon the individual marks of the
players last season. The fan can get sort

the teams from this table, and it is there

likely to play a bigger part in the winning
and losing OF games than strong or weak
batting fielding averages. The table

81 see that Barnes Will not pitch this year
unless 1t becomes absolutely necessary" re-
marked Kid Speer recently. Now, l can
not understand what has gotten into Fred Of
late. There was time when you could not
keep him out of the pitchers box. When
we played with the Lincoln club in the
Western association Fred pitched every
other day and would fill in by playing the
outfield, We started on the trip with eleven
men and won the pennant at that. Barnes
had great speed that year and worked like r
clock. 1t seems that the more he wo ksd
the better he pitched. When he came TO
Milwaukee he had that tired feeling, but
am inclined to believe that the fever he had
here made him feel as though he would like
to rest all the while. believe he will make
a splendid infelder and II he will only
practice batting he will prove another Bobby
Wallace. AS an outielder he Is a star and It
Is only his batting that keeps him out OF a

This colt is the result of the mating of the
imported thoroughbred stallion, Meddler,
with the ex-queen of the trotting turf,
Nancy Hanks. Meddler has been a re-
markable performer on the running track
and has brought great prices during his
career. At his last sale he was disposed
Of to William @. Whitney for 1000.
Nancy Hanks has been even a more distin-
guished performer in her line than Meddler.
The best in the thoroughbred and trotting
blood is united in the youngster and
breeders all over the world will watch with
keenest interest the development of the
colt, to see which side of the family will
dominate his disposition and control his ac-
