After a short sleep in athletics, the

The trustees have reScinded the action

Terre Haute Races

Terre Haute. Ind, Sept 14-Wednes-
days races consisted of three events
and a large crowd filled the amphitheea-
ter when the starters bell called the
horses out for the 2:30 pace. The book
makers lost heavily, owing to the fact
that in both the 2:30 pace and the 2:2O
trot the favorites were simply out of
the running, Hetty G., in the 2:30 pace.
and Bertha Lee, in the 2:20 trot taking
their races easily in straight heats.
The 2:18 pace was as pretty an exhi-
bition as has ever been seen on the
Terre Haute track. In no heat was the
winner a leader of the field by a full
head, and in the second heat had it not
been for Ruby Mack's bad stumble at
the wire, the heat would have been a
dead one. with Silver Prince. After the
fourth heat had been paced, q the race
was postponed on account of darkness.
This afternoon Bumps will go against
the wagon record held by Sunland
Belle. The big sidewheeler will be
driven by his owner and as the horse
is in the pink of condition it is conced-
ed that the record viii be lowered. The
track is several seconds faster than on
the opening day and the weather is all
that could be desired.

LONG DISTANCE SWIM.
Trip of Twelve Miles Made In Three
Hours by g. E. RosenthaL
LFrom the New York JournaLl

IFrom the New York JournaL1
George E. Rosenthal performed a feat
last week that entities him TO the honor
of the champion long distance swim
mer of America.
NJ. Rosenthal swan from La Grange,
Mo, to Quincy, III, a distance of twelve
miles, in three hours and ten minutes.
The actual distance covered by Mr..
Rosenthal is considerably more, be-
cause on account of the low stage of
the river he was forced to swim from
shore to shore at least four times. Other
conditions make the feat remarka BILE
He swan the entire distance with a
side stroke. which is much more IA
tiguing than the breast stroke, al
though it has the advantage of being
faster. The common resting device of
swimmers rs-hOating-was not used once
by the new champion.
He swan the first ten miles without
perceptible weakening. It seemed from
the even stroke he maintained that he
would finish the distance in a fraction
under three hours. AS he entered upon
his tenth mile the strain began to tell.
His legs weakened a little, especially
the extensOr and adductOr muscles.

Will Probably Meet In the Ring In
New York This Fall

New York, Sept 14.-Joe Walcott, the
Barbados demon, has returned to New
York and is prepared to fight any mid
die weight in the country. Tommy
Ryan and Kid Mccoy are the two box
ers that fistic fanciers are anxious to
see Walcott tried out against. Tom
O'Rourke declared when he was in St
Louis recently that Walcott was the
coming champion of the world. Ac-
cording to O'ROurke, Tom Sharkey can
lick all the big fellows in the ring and
by the time he gets through doing it
the clever manager said that Walcott
would be prepared to take Sharkey's
measure.
Mysterious Billy Smith and Kid
Lavigne are the only boxers that ever
lowered WalcOtt's colOrs. Lavigne
gave the Barbados demon a terrible
clouting the night they fought at Jim
Kennedy's Maspeth club and Smith
whipped the black demon last fall
Tommy Ryan and WaIcott have never
met. Heretofore Tommy has drawn the
color line on O'Rourlxe's protege, but
he announced some weeks ago that he
had about decided to take on Walcott
this fall. The fur viii surely fly when
this pair meet, and if Walcott wins
lot of wise people will be prepared to
bet that he can come mighty near tax
ing McCoy'S measure.

RUSKIN COLONY WILL LIVE
Members Have Reorganizsd and Will
Ru7 Back Land.

Beaver Falls, Sept 14.-Some four
years ago a number of families of this
place, together with families from some
of the towns in the close vicinity of
Pittsburg, imbued with the ideas ad-
vanced by Bellamy, formed a colony
on the cooperative plan and obtained
a large tract of land at Ruskin, Tenn.
The name adopted was the Ruskin Co
operative Colony.
The colony, which consisted of some
$50 souls, emigrated to RuSkin, settled
down and got to work. AS has already
been told, diSSenSiOnS arose and it all
ended by the land and effects of the
colony being sold by the sheriff.
Among those from this place who
Joined the colony was J. A. Kemp,
whose wife, with her four children, are
here on a visit to her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel Morgan, at No. 625 Sec
ond avenue. Mrs. Kemp is loud in the
ports of its failure. She said today:
1.-The trouble in the colony was
brought about in this manner: When
first organized the women that were
charter members were given a vote
and those who Joined later were not.
1t took a two-thirds majority to change
a law and it was some time before the
colony was large enough to secure a
majority and give all women a voice
in the management of affairs. When
this occurred some of the charter mem
bers became dissatisfied and asked the
court to grant an injunction restrain
ing the officers from prosecuting their
business A receiver was appointed and
the land and effects Of the colony were
sold by the sheriff. This was about
the only way out of the dilemma. but
the decision of the court was cons tdered
unjust and created much feeling among
the farmers living in that vicinity, who
found the colony a good market for
many of their products.
1.-The colony has reorganized with $50
members and it may decide to repur-
chase the land and buildings and re-
main at the same old stand, but ow-
ing to the fact that we are six miles
from a railroad and have no good mar
ket for our farm products the colony
may decide to go to Waycross, Ga,
where it has an option on a site through
which a railroad passes and where
there are splendid markets
''At present I am here on a visit and
if the colony decides to remain at Rus
kin I will return to it, as I would rath-
er live there than here

James FOULS was champion three years
ago. His play seemed to fall away al
ter that win, but this year he has been
coming again. Lawrence Auchterlonie

amateur at old St. Andrews. Peter

Matthews 10 Rox pobba.

Matty Matthews. one of the best
light weights in this country, is sche-
duled to box Bobby Dobbs 25 rounds at
the Coney Island club Thursday night
Dobbs is a negro and halls from ST
Paul or Minneapolis. He went to Eng
land a year or so ago and established
a great reputation on the other side of
the big pond by defeating Dick Burge
and other fast English light weights.
Billy Brady persuaded Dobbs to return
to this country, and the black light
weight is expected to give Matthews a
warm argument. Matthews recent vic
tories over Eddie Connolly, Otto Seilof
and George Kirwan have given him a
lot of prestige with fstic fanciers.

Fog Florida Agriculturist:
The Florida Melon Fair.

" In0 EIOr1Qa M01On e. Ea1I.
Oftimes a thing of the past is we'll
worth calling attention to in an ag-
ricultural and horticultural publica-
ton like the excellent enc you are
now reading.
We, the agriculturists of Middle
Florida have held a watermelon fair,
and being a patriotic class, selected
July 4th, ais the day for it to come off.
1t is the first thing of the kind that
ever came off in this portion of the
State, simply because melons, herelo-
fore. have been like the angels visits:
few and far between, but this year
things have changed and changed for
the better.
At Granu Ridge on the line Of the
Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad, tue
fair was held, because there was the
central place where the melons grew,
and it is in jackson county, the rich
est of rich counties in the State, not
only producing every variety of mel
ons, but every other crop save wheat
and the CITRUS family.
Another reason: Judge John Thom-
as Porter lives at Grand Ridge, and he
is a ''Warm member" in the family
agricultural, he has made that fair
portion of Jackson county blossom as
the rose. Besides being a farmer in
the true sense of the word, he is a
bona fide newspaper man, and pub
fishes the Echo, that is felt wherever
fit is read Ait first his advanced ideas
of farming were hOoted at and sound
ly abused. The native pronounced his
IDEAS no good and said they would
go right along and farm as dad did,
but today nine-tenths of them are out
of the old rut and are fast becoming
intensive farmers of a No. character
and at this melon fair they joined
hands and circled to the lefst," with
the Judge, hence the occasion for this
article. Remember that it was fair
No. of this character.
When the lamented Chipley was
