In the central district court yester-

when he neared where she was stand

THE SECRET is OUT
Holt and Irwin Have Gone to
ENGLAND to Back Williams

John p Irwin and John Holt are now
in Europe, a cablegram received yes
terday announcing their arrival The
real purpose of their visit has never
been known, but one of their intimate
friends told the reason to The Spy man
yesterday. They have gone 10 Eng
land for the express purpose of back
ing Mace Williams, the sprinter, who
is to compete in the Sheffield handicap
on Christmas day. This is the most
famous sprinting event in the world,
and is worth barrels of money to the
winner, The prize is in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. but the money comes
from the betting ring.
Williams is out to win the race He
has been following the custom of En-
glish runners, and which has been sue
cessfully followed by several Ameri
cans in the big handicap. For months
before the race, they take part in va
rious sprints, and manage to come I'M
placed in order that they may get a
good handicap at the famous Sheffield
event. Williams wrote to friends in
this city several weeks ago, that he is
going fast, and is in good condition,
and intends to try in the event. There
is always good odds against every COM
petitor, as the chances of one man win
ming are worth big odds.
If the Worcester men win out, they
will have enough to keep them sight
seeing for several months, if they
choose to remain that long. If they
don't they won't have to walk home,
anyway.

UNEXCELLED FISHING
Sportsmen viii Make the Lake
One of the Best Stocked Ponds

Worcester sportsmen are unceasing
in their efforts to make the lake one
of the best fishing ponds in the coun-
try. Thousands of trout and land
locked salmon have been placed in its
waters this year. and thousands more
are coming. The trout which have
been placed in the lake this fall have
come from the Wilkinsonville hatch
cry, with the exception of a big con-
signment which Henry A. Mower, dep
uty game warden, secured from the
United States fish commission
Osgood Plummer of this city has
made requisition on the United States
commission, and when the requisition
is filled, the stocking of the lake will
be exceptionally good. Mr. Plummer
has received answer from the commits
sion informing him that his request will
be granted. He will receive $1,000 fin
gerling trout, to be liberated in. the
lake next spring, and will shortly re-
ceive 100000 trout eggs for Matching.
The fish that are obtained from the
300 900 eggs will be placed in the lake
AS about 95 per cent of trout eggs
are Matched according to the improved
methods, the prospects for wonder
full increase of trout in the lake are
excellent. The eggs will be Matched
at the private hatchery of a Worces-
ter gentleman whose consent has al
ready been obtained The fry will not
be placed in the lake, but will be kept
until the young trout attain such
growth as will warrant their ability to
care for themselves

definite can be given out.
