JEFFRIES GOT
NEARLY $4,000.
A Big Two Hours Wages for Pummeling
Sharkey-The Sailor Received
$162,141 as His Share.

James ]. Jeffries and Thomas
Sharkey were rewarded yesterday for
their labors on Friday night. They re-
ceived their share of the gate receipts.
At a meeting at the Delemar Hotel,
New York, the officials Of the Coney
Island club turned over the money to
the principals.
1t was said last night that the total
receipts of the fight were $66,S4S. Ac-
cording to the articles the fighters re
ceived two-thirds of the amount, or
$44, 564 As the winner Jeffries will re-
ceive rs per cent, amounting to $33,423,
Sharkey's share will be the remaining
20 per cent, or $11,1
Jeffries' share of the receipts is the
largest ever received by a prize fighter
for winning a battle.
These receipts are not the only win
nings of the successful pugilist. For
showing at Roster & Balls this week
he will receive $500, while 'Sharkey
gets $1,000
BIG MONEY IN THE PICTURES.
The largest financial income to the
principals will be in the reproduction
of the big fight. Both fighters have a
third interest in the pictures, and it is
estimated that at least 100000 will be
derived from this source. This would
give Jeffries and Sharkey little over
$3.50 900 each in addition to the purse.
The biograph company is not worried
over the taking of pictures by rivals
who succeeded in reproducing the
rounds of the fight. The biograph peo-
pie are going right ahead developing
their fourteen miles of film. which was
necessary to take the entire twenty
five rounds, and when completed it will

VIEWS ARE DIFFERENT.

William Grossman, of the firm Of
House, Grossman Sc Vorhaus, counsel
for Joe Howard, of the Howard e En-
erson Vaudeville company who Sc
cured the fight pictures, said yesterday
that the pictures taken by his client
were copyrighted at Washington and
would be produced very shortly. Mr.
GrOssman said that there would be no
injunction asked for to restrain the
biograph' people from using its pictures
Of the fight.
The pictures taken by Mr.. Howard,
said Mr.. Grossman, "are not the same
as those taken by the biograph people.
Both machines have different views of
the men in action, and in such a case
both are entitled to have their pictures
copyrighted. I have seen the pictures
and they are the finest l ever saw of
any moving object"
There is more trouble in store for
those who have an interest in the pic
ture machine. 1t is said that the Edi-
son company, whose machine was used
by Mr.. Howard's representative, in
tends to begin proceedings at once to
prevent the fight from being repro
duced by its machine.

holds a large interest in the biograph
company, says there is only one set Of
pictures of the fight in existence, and
it is in possession of his company. Any
other reproductions, Brady says, are
fakes.
MI. White or his friends who claim
to have taken the pictures of the fight
may have a few rounds" said Brady
but that is all. The machine was car
ried into the clubhouse under a mack
intosh, and, from what l understand
only ten rounds were taken. This whole
thing looks like a Matchmaking scheme,
but it will have no effect on our pic

A Jockey for 80 Years.

Charles Taylor of White River juno
ton, who drove Robert B., 22l1, at the
Rutland races last week, is 90 years old
and has probably been driving race
horses longer than any other man now in
the business. In the course Of CONVEX
sation with a Herald reporter he said :
III have been racing horses for over so
years. | was born in Canada and my
father taught me to ride running horses
when I was about 10 years old. That
was before they began to have races In
harness. About so years ago | started
in to drive a horse in harness, and
remember being the first man to drive a
horse a mile in three minutes In Mon
treal. 1t was at kind of fair there and
the people cleared the track to see me try
to do mile IN three minutes. The track
was not much like your track here. 1t
was turf track, with the grass shaved
close. 1t was awfully slippery and the
race horses had heavy shoes on with
winter corks. | drove in what we called
cart. 1t weighed 300 or 400 pounds
and would hold four people. The har-
ness weighed about IS pounds, | should
think, and had a collar and names. We
didn't think a breastplate was safe.
Well, l made the mile in three minutes
and the crowd went wild. 1t was con-
fdently asserted that the record l made
there would never be beaten. We bought
that horse for about S35. She had no
regular name like your driving horses
now, but we used to call her Black Moll
around the barn. We began using
sulkies about 20 or IS years ago. The
first sulky l had weighed about l75
pounds. 1t had wheels over six feet high
and the seat was made on strips of wood
nailed to the thills at one end. This
brought me way up above the horses back
and the strips of wood acted as springs.
There was comparatively little change in
sulkies from that time until these modern
sulkies came into use. The wheels were
made little lower every year and the
whole thing got lighter. remember
when thought GO pound sulky wasn't
safe. Now 1 ride one that weighs under
80 pounds. Yes, have seen good deal
of horse racing and they say I'm getting
old, but I'm only boy yet and DOM
hardly feel as though l ought to be ou
of our yard"

Lake Champlain Sea Serpent.

The Lake Champlan "sea serpent
has been seen by an entirely credible
and trustworthy witness, whose name,
were we permitted to give it, says the
Burlington News, would carry conviction
to the most incredulous of doubtiCg
Thomases. The monster was seen swim
ming southwark, about midway of the
channel between the Vermont shore and
Split Rock. The lake at this place is
only about a mile wide. Here, too, it
reaches its greatest depth-abOUt five
hundred feet. The monsters distance
from the observer was only about half a
mile, and consequently comparatively
good view of 1t was obtained. The "ser.
pent's' head appeared to be rather broad
and flat-sOmething the shape of ones
hand as laid fiat on table. The water
washed over its neck, which 1t was there
fore impossible to make out. The body,
as far as visible, had the shape of low
arch. Part of the tail could not be
deserted, but tip-broad and flat-pro-
truded from the water at right angles tC
the body. The length of the strange
visitor was about 80 feet. Suddenly il
sank, and the waters around seethed and
bubbled, as when large and heavy
body sinks beneath the waves. A nom.
ent later large house-boat appeared in
sight, end the supposition is that its
coming frightened the monster and il
sought the depths of the lake.

Here is fish story" without any
fish to it, which has also the unusual
quality of veracity. The other day
Arthur Giddings of Ludlow killed a
common striped snake on his father S
farm on East Hull. The snake was
three feet and six inches long and as
large around as a mans wrist, and in
side the snake were found 60 little
snakes about five inches long. 1t is the
habit of the mother snake to protect her
young from danger by allowing them
to run down her throat, and this one had
an unusually large. family, which, I'M
less there were some naughty ones who
ran away from home, was all destroyed
at one fell swoop. The killing of 1.-TWO
birds with one stone" isn't in it with CT
snakes with one club. The Tribune re-
porter was assured of the truth of the
story by one who saw the snakes; If he
had seen them himself he would doubt
less have thought he needed the Kelley

When such catastrophes as those
which took place at Bar Harbor, Me-,
and Stratford, Conn, last Sunday are
possible, it is certainly time that dlsinter-
ested inspectors of transportation equip
ment be employed. such as guard the
travelling public of Europe. 1t is alleged
that the Stratford trolly line was not
completed in detail when the cars were
started on Sunday, and that the COM
pany's desire to catch all the summer
business possible Induced it to open the
road for traffic before the line was safe.
The high bridge had no guard rails at
the time, and evidently either the motor
man was incompetent to manage the car
or the brakes refused to dependencies
which proper inspection could have pre-
vented. The gangplank, the breaking
of which precIpitated the Bar Harbor
excursionists to their death, has been
shown to have been worn out, two
brace-bolts having their heads pulled
