BEATS THEM ALL.
Or. Frost Has Best Record Horse That
Ever Came to Worcester.

Dr.. Frost Has Best 'Record Horse That
Ever Came TO Worcester.
The best record horse that ever came
to Worcester was purchased last week
by DR.. f. e. Frost. She is Lelah W.,
a chestnut mare with a mark of 2:OSA.
DR.. Frosts Refna, which he sold to a
New Bedford man during the winter,
had a record of 2;O8A, and until the
purchase of Lelah w, was the best
record horse ever owned in this city.
Dr. Frost purchased Lelah w. at the
Hicks sale at Combination Park last
week. He also purchased two other
horses. one of which was Dickon. He
purchased the other animals because he
saw an opportunity to dispose Of them
at an advance. He sold them imme-
diately, and made money on the trans
action.
He purchased Lelah w. to use on the
road. Lelah w. is a good horse. She
was consigned to the sale from the Ma
plehurst farm of Lancaster, owned by
Col. John E. Thayer.
Lelah w. is PAGER, and was fOaled
in 1890. She is by Won Mark, whose
sire was Victor Bismarck. Her dam
is Jennie Ivers, by Old George. Won
Mark has another PAGER with a mark
of 2:1OA. Lelah w. has been the prop
erty of Col. Thayer for the last two
winters and has been used by him on
the road. She was a very fast snow
horse. She did her best work on the
track in 1896 She took her mark at
Windsor Ont, July of that year while
competing in the 2:15 pace. She won
second money, landing first place in the
second heat in 2:0SA, and won the sec
ond heat in 2:11%. On Aug. p of the
same year she vas beaten for first
place by Bonnie cGregor in the 2:15
pace at the Buffalo meet. Lelah w.
won the first and second heats, doing
each in 2:1O fiat.
Allie Trout surprised the denizens of
Readville one day last summer while
logging the mare on the track. A
question arose as to the speed of Lelah
w. She was hitched in a road wagon,
but Trout sent her a quarter in "a,
PIG clip, which was pretty fast to a
road wagon. He then drove her a mile
without boot or strap of any kind, and
still hitched to the road wagon, in
2131z. She turned the last half in 1903
and the last quarter in 80 fiat, 300
clip. Col. Thayer intends to use
horse of his own breeding on the
road henceforth, otherwise he would
not have offered Lelah w. for sale.

the Resolutes, Albons and other
strong teams of this city, but he will

THE SAD SEA WAVES"
They Lose Their Sadness in the Hands
of Mathews and BuIgar's Company.

by the sad sea waves" is the unique
title of the farce in which Mathews
and Bulger and a clever company dis
ported before a goodly sized audience
at the Worcester Theatre last evening.
A farce comedy doesn't need an appro-
pirate name any more than it needs a
plot, and so the absence of both last
night didn't affect the enjoyment a
Whit
by the sad sea waves" is neither
better nor worse than the average of
its class. 1t is built on the regular
lines-the first act filed with jokes and
brisk action, and the other two no ac-
ton, few jokes and lots of specialties.
But in this case the jesIs and quips
are new and literally supplied and the
company is strong in talent and in
numbers.
There is a whole comic opera chorus
instead of the conventional half dozen
soubrets, who generally do duty in
helping out the soloists in the ensem-
bles and there are lot of good fun
makers among the principals, besides
one player who has evolved q genuine
ly artistic creation. This is Rose Mel
vile, whose HoOsier maiden, Sis Hop
kins," is as clever a character discOV-
cry as was Ada, Lewis tough girl, and
is likely to have as many futile imita-
tors Miss Melville was the hit of the
performance last night, as evidenced
by the applause and laughter of the
audience, and by the studied indifter-
ence with which most of the other girls
gazed into space While her sketch was
in progress.
The stars themselves kept up their
past reputation as hilarity experts.
They unselfshly gave many of the good
points to their COnfTeres, and yet kept
everybody in constant chuckleS from
their first entrance to the all-too-brlef
assortment of songs and parodles Just
before the final curtain. That big 10
cal favorite, VIII West, appeared in
the juvenile role and his baritone
tenor showed up to advantage in a
number of selections. Gilbert Gregory
was funny as a German musician.
Among the best enjoyed Of the nu-
merous specialties was the rag time
piano playing of Ned Wayburn, who
gave Star spangled banner and Pro
mise me- and Mortified the spirit OF
the lamented Felix by rendering Men
delssohn's wedding march in the same
bizarre metre. Josie De Witt played
brilliantly Delibes' Pas de fieuTs' on
the violin, and responded to imperative
encores with two popular airs.
ne IHdI scene, floral arcn nuns
with chinese lanterns and with silVery
moon and ripping waves attachment
served as background for a very fetch
ing japanese song, composed and sung
by Nellie Hawthorne, and for a mika-
do medley by VIII West and the COM
pany. Miss Hawthorne Furthermore
sang My Honolulu lady" the jollies
kind of a coon song, with a swinging
catchy refrain that ought to achieve
wide popularity. BY the sad sea
waves" is a good show

Manager W. D. Lancaster and Capt
C. E. DAILY Of the high school boat crew
did not so to Boston yesteday to con-
fer with Manager Schweppe of the
Harvard freshman crew relative to a
date for a race at the lake. They in
tended to call on the Harvard man,
hut the appointment was subject to
the Iatter's convenience, and nothing
has been heard from Harvard concern
ing a meeting. The Worcester boys
will wait on the Harvard man as soon
as they hear from him. They will also
urge putting away the race as far as
D0ssible. The high school crew is GER
tainly under a tremendous handicap.
The season is unusually backward. a
wear ago this time the lads were row

a. week. The ice on the lake is over
a foot thick now, and Coach James A.

PiERCE'S BIG HORSE.

E. S. Pierce has had many a fast
horse, in which he naturally took col
siderable pride, but he was never more
pleased with any of his horsehesh than
with a draft animal, which he pur-
chased a few days ago. The horse
weighs exactly 1900 pounds, and for d
large horse is unquestionably one of
the handsomest that ever came into
Worcester. He is a golden chestnut ia
color. and his coat is as slick as can
be imagined, which is unusual mas
much as the horse never felt a curry
comb until he was placed in Mr.
Pierce's barn. He wears "A collar which
is IS inches the long way. He uses tAe
horse on a wagon which was always
drawn by a pair. The big fellow steps
lively. being an unusually fast walker,
and pulls the wagon as easily as the
pair could. The turnout attracts at
tention wherever it goes.

willing to make the match. The under
standing IS that % games VIII be rolled on
the Casino alleys and % on Whites alleys
A prize valued at 500 will be put up. To-
tai number of pins made on both alleys
will decide the winner Mr.. Hennessey is
confined to his house by illness at present,
but the match will be put off to suit his
Infant bowling team at Whites alleys.
He is one of the best bowlers in the city
at the small pins. Hennessey is also one
Of the best. His contest with Sheafe on
the Casino alleys proved that assertion
beyond the shadow of doubt.

is after TAYLOR.
Reported That Elkes
Wants to Race Wor-
cester's Crack.
THE MAJOR is READY
He VIII Accept Challenge
and Double the Stake
if Agreeable.

The little world beater. Major Taylor,
saw in a New York paper last evening
that Harry Elkes intends to challenge
him to a series of bicycle races for $4,000
a side. He Immediately called at The
Spy office to say he will accept the
challenge and will make the amount
$4,000 if that figure is more agreeable
to Elles than the former. Taylor does
not mean that he will back himself for
the racing.
He is acting under authority of the
Sager gear people who give him carte
blanche to match himself against any
body and they will furnish the backing.
Taylor said he will race Elkins in
sprints pursuit and paced races.
He returned yesterday from Waltham
where he ordered four Orient wheels
for his racing the coming season. Two
of the racers sce+for following pace and
two for sprint racing. All will be fitted
with the Sager gear on which he made
the records W to two miles last fall.
The wheels are of the model known as
the "1:30 Orient" The wheels built for
following pace are geared to ia and
have a 26-inch front wheel instead of
the regulation %.
The purpose of a smaller front wheel
is to allow the rider to get closer to the
pace. The wheels to be built for sprint
ing will be 81 gear The wheels will
each weigh 20 pounds to an ounce,
Negotiations for a series Of races be-
tween him and Eddie McDuffie have
fallen through. McDuffie wanted a 30
mile race for the middle distance race
while Taylor insisted on a 10-mile race.
The latter offered to ride McDuffie a
mile paced, mile pursuit and 10-mile
paced, but McDuffie wouldn't ride. In
cidentally it might be mentioned that
Taylor never rode an unpaced race in
his life.

Yale Ball Tossers No Match
for Joyce's Professionals.

New York April s. 49, The New Yorlls
fresh from the south, opened the exhibi-

noon with the Yale team, and won by a
score of Z to 8. The New Yorks presented
patched-up team, George Davis and
Doyle being out of the game.
J. I. Davis was placed at short but his
work there today was of an ordinary kind.
Doheny and Colcolough did the pitching
against the Yausians. The college pitch
ers, Cook and Robertson, did good work.
The former retired in favor of the latter
in the seventh inning. Camp, Yale's short
stop, carried off the fielding honors of the
day, playing his position in good shape.
