The humble hen is doing much for Missouri The surplus poultry shipped by rail in Missouri last year exceeded in value the zinc ore, while the surplus eggs went the lead ore S250,000 better The figures are surprising indeed. The poultry product shipped and sold last year amounted to over 10000, ,O0O pounds. It realized the producers at first price $4,900,000. The eggs shipped were 33, 935, ,O00 dozen, and they brought to the people who gathered them from the nests $3,393,000. Poultry and eggs to- gether yielded to the farmers of Mis- souri, after their own tables had been supplied, $S,2sS, ,OOO The two great items of agricultural gain for Missouri last year, cattle and hogs, realized, respec- lively, $S4,OOO,OOO and $36O0O,OOO each, only about four times what the poultry did; and they consumed the corn crop of 19O.O00, ,O00 bushels.

Second Squad Will
Not Be Maintained
AT HIGH SCHOOL.
Expense Too Great and
Material Only Mediocre.

All thoughts of maintaining this sea-
has been abandoned.
1t was the intention of Coach Ten
Eyck to fill out a crew of eight fo1
another boat when the boys went on
the water. and he has given as much
thought to the boys of the second squad
who occupied the machine, as to the
candidates of the first crew. After a
consideration of the matter, however
both the boys Of the association and
Coach Ten Eyck came to the con-
clusion that adding another crew to
the first would incur too great an ex-
pense.
The boys who have been pulling an
oar in the second crew, when they
heard that the crew was to be done
away with, felt the blow keenly for
they think that in time they would be
able to present crew that would not
take back water from the boys of the
first Coach Ten Eyck does not think
the same. for he says it would have
been an impoSsibility to make a strong
crew out of the second one, as half of
the boys, at least, were too young and
not sufficiently developed to attempt
the task of pushing a boat along the
water at any great speed
The doing away with the second crew
does not mean that the boys who oc-
cupied it are not entitled to aspire for
the first crew. The number of candi-
dates, taking the boys of the second
crew who put up a good showing, and
those of the first, is at the present time
dozen, They are DAILY, johnson, Co.'S
grove, Taylor, Jackson. Hagberg.
Stone, Perry, Wheaton, Weyer, Carroll
and Harvey These boys will report
at the school day and night alternately,
but it will be some time before Ten
Eyck will attempt to pick for a certain
ty the crew that will do battle against
other crews on the water the coming
season.
That Daily, Johnson, Taylor and
Jackson will be four of the crew, there
is no doubt as they sat in the boat last
year, but the other eight will have to
work hard and contest for the other
four places to be filed. Taylor, who
was debarred from rowing for not be-
ing proficient in his studies, has been
allowed to practice again, as he has
been studying faithfully lately, and as
he is a very good man in aquatics, the
faculty decided he could go back and
try for the crew.
The boat the second crew of last year
used is still housed in Webb's boat
house, and all hope of ever repairing it
has been given UP by the boys. The
boat being built Of paper, did not hold
| out under the hard usage of the boys.
They will not try to have it repaired, as
the cost would be more than the boat
is actually worth, and more than the
school could stand. The cedar boat
is also at Webb's. and today it will be
brought to the Wachusett boat house,
where twill be rugged up, but any nee
| essary repairs viii not be made at
present.

Furnished Sport On
Lake Ice.
WARREN WON BOTH.
Old Whist Out-footed Cor
rect in the Free-for-all.

Despite the poor footing, the two
horse races on the ice at Lake Quinsig-
almond, yesterday afternoon, were pro-
ductive of some interesting sport.
The races were first arranged for Fri
day afternoon, but the snow and the
sleet Of that day caused postpone
ment for twenty hours, and at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, the hour
for calling out the horses, condition
were but little better. 1t was neither
showing nor sleeting, to be sure, but
the ice was covered with a combina-
ton of snow and crust that made the
footing poor.
Interest that the races created, how
| ever, was manifested by the large
crowd numbering fully 700 persons. 1t
was good natured crowd, too, and the
two hours wait while the course was
being cleared of snow did not appear to
annoy the crowd. The assembled horse
men talked about the horses chances,
whether Whist would be able to hold his
| clip for the full mile against Correct,
and occasionally openly expressed diff
1erences OF opinion resulted in small
sized friendly wagers being made.
There were two races upon the after
Moons card, free-for-all with two
starters Walter Warrens Whist
2:lSA, and the Henry brothers Correct,
2:2118; and the slow class for 70 BUSH
els OF oats, prize that attracted a
quarter of fairly good ones In neither
race was time taken, for not only was
the course slow, but strong, cold wind
blew square in the face of the horses as
they came down.
The free-for-all although the field
| was smaller, proved the better race
A. b. Brunell had entered his brown
mare, Sairey Camp, but a few days
ago she was injured in the stall. and
so she was drawn by her owner, leav-
ing Whist and Correct to fight it out
The old son of Motion. always a good
horse in winter, had a shade the more
speed and won out in two straight
heats Correct was fast and level and
each time nosed out Warren's charge
The black fellow however. could not
quite reach and had 20 take the mi
nor portion of the purse.
Walter Warren rode in front again
in the slow class. Tom II was the
horse he drove to the front each time
AS race horse, Tom H. took mark
around 2.25, three or four years ago.
and then an ailing leg prevented him
| from being of further value upon the
race track. Careful nursing has, how
ever, improved the weak member Won
derfully well, and old Tom H. did not
favor the leg bit in his work yes
terday.
The chestnut gelding, handicapped
by so unharmonious a name as Michael
Strogoff, and having a mark of 2:34A
was up a good second each time but
never showed ahead at the finish. Third

Says Outdoor Preparation
Superior.

Strong batting is one of the prin-
cipal requisites to- success upon the ball
field, and the player who is reasonably
sure of hitting the ball hard and often,
soon becomes a permanent fixture on
the team that is sufficiently fortunate
to own him.
Not sonly this, but the hard-hitting
player@issa general favorite with the
base ball public in the cities his team
visits during the course of the league
season. The public likes to witness a
sluggina contest, and the man that can
make the longest drives, and make
them safe drives as well, is the man
that will get the applause when
he steps up to- the bat
john Anderson of this city, who
played with the Washingtons, practi-
cally all last season, belongs to this
class of players. More than that John
Anderson7stands at the very top of the
list fory when the official figures for

HE WON THREE PRIZES.
J. Fred Powers Did Finely IN the Mil
waukee Games Last SATURDAY..

In personal letter to the sporting edi-
tor of The Spy, Capt. j. Fred Powers OF
the University track team refers incl
dentally to the fact that the newspapers
were somewhat twisted in their reports of
his performances in the A. A. U. district
games in Milwaukee a week ago last eve
ming.
The press dispatches gave Powers cred
1t of winning but one prige-second in the
shot put, with a throw of 3S feet Sia
inches. As a matter of fact, Powers won
the running high jump, clearing the bar
at feet 10h inches, and was third place
in the pole vault, with q performance of
10 feet inches. In addition, Powers did
an exhibition vault of 10 feet 10 inches at
the close of the event. Powers is rapidly
becoming one of the very best of the
many good athletes in the Western Inter-
collegiate Association.

ANOTHER FOR WoRcEsTERs
Regulation Pin Team Scores I66 Pins
Over the Gardner Men.

The bowling matinee on Whites
Pearl street alleys, yesterday after
noon, was a distinct success as far as
interest and attendance went
The attraction was the first match
in the series between the Worcester
regulation pin team and the Gardners
of that town.
AS in every other game in which the
Worcesters have participated this sea-
son, the Worcesters emerged Victor
ious. They added another to their
string Of victories and at the same
time succeeded in making a small team
total 1t was small enough to be laugh
able, yet, at the same time, large
enough to win.
The visiting bowlers had never
played on polished alleys and naturally
in the first box or two were somewhat
anxious as to their success. But after
few balls had been rolled, the Gard
ner boys began to take things easily
and before the game was over they
had concluded, Notwithstanding that
they had lost, that polished alleys and
regulation pins were not so bad after
all =
A glance at the score shows how re-
markably small the scores We're on
each side. 1t was largely due to the
wretched breaks in which the two
teams suffered about equally 1t was
the general opinion of the bowlers that
possibly the iron plates that Mr. White
uses upon his alleys were to some ex-
tent responsible for the small scores. 1t
is safe to say that the iron plates lack
the elasticity and give of the old -fash-
Toned wooden made, and may be the
cause of so many Wretched breaks.
This was many times evident yester-
day afternoon when a pin would top
pie and Vibrate back and forth and
finally come to rest without falling
over, whereas with a wooden plate the
pin surely would have gone over with
out the slightest hesitancy.
1t is an interesting fact that the
smallest total and the largest total was
each made by the 'Worcesters, while
the largest individual string and the
smallest individual string was each
made by the same Worcester man. The
Worcesters rolled SO6 pins down in the
second game, then fell off in the third
game and scored only 5SS. d. White in
his second string ran up 1872 total. but
he could not keep up the clip, and in
the following string actually dropped
below the 100 mark
After the game the visiting bowlers
We're entertained by the Worcester
team and Mr.. White at the private
dining room in the Creamerie restau-
rant. The following is the score in de-
tail of the first game:

MAY HEAD THE OUTLAWS.
Sterling Elliott Has Been Offered Pres
dercv of the cvcls s. Union.

Whatever may be ones feeling with re-
spect to the American Racing Cyclists
Union, all must admit that if Sterling
Elliott assumes the leadership of the or
ganization the outlaw body will at once
become very dangerous opponent to the
l.. A. w. in the event of the latter voting
to continue in control of the racing game
At the recent meeting of the outlaws in
New York several names were talked over
for the presidency, and that of Sterling
Elliott met with the most favor. The
outlaws evidently realize that some one
outside their own ranks of racing men
must be at the helm in order to give unity
to the organization SeIf-goyernment
among any class of athletes never proved
success, and it is believed that Elliott
can steer the Cyclists Union clear of the
mistakes that have so greatly injured the

Gold In Fowl Csaws Chestnut.

Mr.. Henry freese, OF this city, while
preparing his Thanksgiving turkey, dis.
covered In the eraw Of the fowl, two gold
nuggets Of quite a considerable size.
These nuggets were shown to a reporter
Of the Chronicle and are TO be seen by
any one who may doubt the uuthfulness
oi Mr.. freese's statement. These tur.
keys came from the farm Of Mr.. McDon.
aid, occupied by Mr.. Littleton, at the foot
oi Mount Emily. Furthermore, about
two years ago Mr.. Holmes, who resides In
that vicinity, took from the craws ot some
ducks he had killed several gold sped.
mems, as did also Mrs. Cochran, who
lives near there, about year ago take
quite number from the craws OF ducks
she had killed. There are several streams
that flow down from Mount Emily, and
from the waters Of these, the fowls must
have gathered these golden specimens,
which shows conclusiveiy the auriferous
metal came from that source.-La Grande
