 New Haven. Conn, Dec 1.-James J. Jeffries, the champion pugilist of the world. made quick dash for a train to take him back to the Man from the West company yesterday after noon an engaged man. it was said.
 His fiancee watched him as he sped from the Elkdene hotel for the sta nized as Miss Dorothy Drew, now ap- bearing at the Polls theater in vaudeville sketch with Milton Aborn.
 The wedding. it is said. will take place next week in. New York. Mr .etfries had neither the time nor the breath to deny or confirm the story at the station. for he just caught the last car. and Miss Drew refuses to talk definitely. but their friends assert positively that il is true.
 Jeffries arrived in New Haven last night on q late train. He was met at the station by StinSon. the male mem Der of the vaudeville team of Stinson and Merton. and the two men jumped in a waiting cab, which took them to the Elkdene.
 Miss Drew and Miss Merton were waiting in the hotel parlor, and after an affectionate greeting the pugillst escorted her to the hotel dining room. where an elaborate supper had been prepared. The supper was prolonged for a number of hours. and was very jolly
 Jeffries appeared to be in q parti- cularly happy frame of mind when It was over He and Miss Drew spent yesterday in taking d drive, and long walk around the Yale campus They were apparently little interested in anything or anybody but themselves. but Were much pleased when some students recognized them and saluteu yociferously.
 JetfrieS had intended to take the 1T train yesterday afternoon, but he was twenty minutes late in leaving the hotel He immediately returned. with out seeming to be much disappointed. and reappeared again when he had just time to run to the station to catch a train an hour later. The train was just pulling out wien he got there.
 Miss Drew blusheh very much when asked last night if. the report of the engagement was trne.
 ''Oh. l cannot say anything" she said. There really is nothing deti- mite yet-truly. there is not. I can say nothing now. Wait little while"
 Later i'll the evening. Mr AbOrn. who seemed to take il for granted that everything had been announced. said:
 II am sorry to lose my partner. but if Mir Jetfr:es wants her for his life partner do not think il will be wise for me to nut up fight"
 Mir JeffrieS could not be found after he left the Metropolis theater. in Har- lem. last night. His brother said he had heard nothing of the reported en- pape,ccput

FAMOUS HORSE soLD.
The TrotteE Abbot Knocked Down Tor
 So6 BOO


 as NEW YORK. I)a@ I.-xThe great trot. .-ting horse ThesA bhot wasssela yesterday afternoon at the Madison Square Gardsn for S2i,5C0. The purchaser was John j Scannell. fire commissioner of this city. There was d crowd of 5000 persons in the Garden to watch the holder of the worlds trotting record go under the hammer. The Abbot was taken into the ring at I o'clock by Mir. Geers., who ha. driven him in his record beating trots. , When the sale began, r. Tipton of the Fasig-Tipton company, bidding for an other person. bid 5000. This was fol lowed by Mir. Scannell's bid of S26.500. No other bids being made, the horse went to the fire commissioner.
 The price paid for The Abbot was not il record breaker. Maud $, Sunol and several other great trotters have brought higher prices under the hammer.
 The Abbot was bred at the Village farm by Mir. Hamln in 1893. His sire was Chimes. 2:30$4. by Electioneer, sire of The Monk Fantasy, Merry Chimes and Ed Easton. His dam was Nettie King 2:20A, by Mambrino King. He is q bay gelding of good size and beautiful proportions His legs are clean and mus cular. and they support a finely shaped barrel, on which his neck and delicate head are gracefully set. He is the finest specimen of the straight line trOtter ever seen on an American track. He does not waste any of his energy in throwing Ii, feet out or too high. IL is all directed in d straight ahead movement that has won The Abbot the highest praise from the veteran breeders of trotters. In ap- pearauct and action The Abbot is vast improvement over Dexter. 2:l "A, ani Rarus, 2:13k. earlier champions. They were coarse and plain. He is more like the beautifully formed AliX. 2:034 whose record he lowered at Terre Haute.
 His career since then has been one of brilliant successes. Out of nine starts in 1897 he won six times, earning S5.15J and finishing the. season with a record of 2:1l1. In the year following he started ten times, winning seven, earning S6,300 and reducing his record to 2:0Sh. In only one of these races was he uEplaced. 1 Last year he swept the grand circuit with ten straight victories. He only sui fered defeat ill one heat, and Bingen beat him by stepping tEe mile in 2:06A, the best time of the year for q trotting stall lion. Twenty-Five of the twenty seven : heats he won were trotted i'll better than 2:1O. His winnings aggregated SlO,2oO. Since 1899 The Abbot has been attack ing records. He stepped mile in 2:oI ill public at Detroit iii the season just ended and worked the distance in 2:Qol4 at Cleveland.
 He created sensation at Hartford on Sept 21 by cutting Lucille's wagon rec ord from 2:OJA 10 2:Ool.. He did some remarkably fast moving at the local trot- ting track and took away the breath of the trotting world by stepping a mile in 2:O3l4 at Tel4.e Haute.

RYAN AND AI'KEEVER.

There is q possible chance that Tommy Ryan of Syracuse and Charley Atckeeper of Philadelphia may come together in England next year Yes terday the National Sporting club of London offered through Dr Ordway q purse of S1.5Qo for a 2o=round fight be- tween Ryan and McKeever, to be, de cided on Derby night of next year While the incentive may seem to be small. the offer is strengthened by the fact that if the mill is arranged q side wager of S2,5Q0 will hinge on the re- suit. OrdMay has mailed letter to George Silef, who is now at Chicago. regarding the proposed mill. and if Ryan agrees to fight McKeever and can secure the necessary backing, the encounter will be clincled at once.

Then the Frenchman pushed and hauled till both, the. Butchers legs went through the ropes. The referee tried to get them apart. but Pons hung Ion like grim death. Piening's seconds at tempted to climb up to his assistance, but sthe police threw them out.
 Again the Frenchman got waist hold and in a moment lifted him from the floor and hurled him down again, but without success. Fleming always was undermost. crouching tight to the mat with his legs drawn under him. Once more the French champion tossed the New York boy into the air, but again Pefning managed to come up on his hands and knees. He was fast tiring, however. and within q mo- ment or two the Frenchman had the butcher on his shoulders in the dust. Time. 20 minutes 9 seconds.
 After a rest they came out again. and this time it simply was case of getting a hold. Pons shifted from the neck to the waist hold, and put the Butcher down and almost out in minutes 24. seconds.

He threw Hauck in minutes and 3S seconds. Hauck. got the sec Ond fall in minutes after Gyssell got tried and let him take a good hold. Gyssell went over easy enough to make most of the onlookers think that that part of the performance had been arranged.

THE BRIDE AND GROOM.
No More Kssns the Ring; the Bride on Her
Fateful Dav.


Fateful Day.
"Thc wedding ring completes the
circle, typical as is the ring itself OF
the perpetuity OF the compact, writes
Mrs. Burton Kingsland, in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Inside the ring-al-
ways a plain gold one-are engraved
the initials of bride and bridegroom,
and the date OF the marriage. 1t is
placed on the third finger of the left
hand because OF the fanciful conceit
that from that finger nerve goes
straight to the heart.
"Some say that the word obey in
the marriage service is an anachron-
ism and holds only those who choose
TO be bound, but American women do
not often feel their chains. In some
provinces OF Russia the brides father
gives her little cut with whip,
which instrument of correction he
then presents to the groom for future
emergencies.
1.-THE kiss, formerly given by the
young husband to his bride after the
words, Il pronounce you man and
wife'-for which SO many rehearsals
we're necessary-has gone out of
fashion.
at is a time-honored observance OF
wedding etiquette that the bride shall
not be seen by the bridegroom on the
fateful day until she appears coming
up the aisle to meet him. Hence the
custom of the bridegroom's waiting at
the altar. The bridal procession is
for him-not a pageant for the
guests"
