Scoggan's Colt Won the Tennessee
Derby Worth $1,000.

Memphis, Tenn, April 17.-Under
threatening skies and on a muddy track
H. Scoggan's colt Florizar, by Imp.
F'lorist-Charina II, won the rich Ten
nessee Derby at mile and an eighth
in a gallOp from Jonn f. SchOrT'S F. w.
Brode, which beat P. Tomlinson & Co.'S
The Conqueror for the place by a length.
The race, which was worth $1,000 to the
winner, was run in two minutes fiat,
good time on a track SO heavy as that
of today. More than 10000 people visit
ed Montgomery park to see the Derby
and five other races well contested.
The Derby was the fourth race on the
card. In the ring j. Q. Gains Top Gal
liant colt Thrive was held slight fav-
orite over +. w. Brode, their prices be-
ing to 5 and to l, respectively. The
COnquerOr was next in demand at threeS,
while Florizar was held at to l. The
race was called at 4 o'clock and a little
time was lost at the start Upon the
second break Starter Fitzgerald sent the
field away in splendid order with Thrive
in the lead, a neck in front of Florizar,
with Brode, The COnquerOr and Arthur
Behan close up. Thrive Immediately
increased his lead, while Van Dusen took
Florizar back to last position. Passing
the stand Thrive led The ConquerOr by
a length with Brode Tapped in third
place. Thrive made the running around
the first turn until well Strengthened out
in the back stretch, where The Con-
queror passed him and led the field to
the far turn, closely followed by Thrive
and Brode. At this point Van Dusen
was seen to make his ride and upon
turning into the stretch F'lorizar was a
length before the COnquerOr, which in
turn led Brode by a neck. The race from
this point was only a gallop so far as

Eetroit Twirler Elected From a Train
For Fighting and Swearing.

Cincinnati, April 17.-Pitcher Jack Cron-
in of the Detroit club was forcibly elected
from a train Friday.
Cronin's conduct after seating himself
in the Pullman sleeper was such that
several other passengers demanded that
he be put off the car, and, as both the
conductor and porter had been grossly in
suited by the player, a policeman was
promptly summoned and CrOnin was put
off the train. 1t seems that the big fellow
took his return to the Detroit club very
much to heart. After a final conference
with Manager Allen yesterday afternoon
Cronin started out to celebrate his depar-
ture from the Queen City. The train
which was to have carried him to Detroit
left at 10 o'clock, and some time before
that hour CrOnin, in company of Harry
Steinteldt, and several friends, arrived at
the depot much the worse for his exper-
fence with the amber fluid.
CrOnin IS big man, weighing 200
pounds, and as he stepped into the Sleep
er he remarked to a friend: ct guess I'll
have to kill a niger tonight" The por-
ter of the ear overheard the remark and
reported to the conductor, who came to
look after Cronin. 1t is said that Cronin
made some remark about being able to
shoot, If necessary, and he followed this
by heaping volley of abuse on the train
men. Several passengers complained, and
insisted on having Cronin removed from
the car. A policeman was summoned and
after little struggle. Cronin was stand
ing on the platform of the depot, with his
neckwear slightly disarrahged, and the
train proceeded on its way.

and losing once on a doubtful decision.
White has for a long time claimed the
championship of the 126 pound class,
and no one has been able as yet to
wrest that title from him.
W h1te has been in the ring for eleven
years, and in that time has fought 107
fights, making in all l 232 rounds. and in
that long record the figures show no
knock-outs, that he was knocked down
but six times, and but five fights lost,
two on doubtful decisions. He will
scale when he enters the ring with Ter
~ about 127 pounds, and as McGovern
is now about 124 there will be but little
disparity in the weights of the two
boxers. He is taller than Terry and a
more experienced ring general. but
whether his generalship will enable him
to stand off the rushes of the little
Brooklyn Terror is a matter to be de-
cided.f
Here. are the measurements of these
two mighty little mon, from which stu
dents may draw their own conclusion:

M,cARTHY,s LUCK.
One of His Old "Rubbers" Presented
Him With $4,000.

San Francisco, April 17-''White Hat
Dan Mccarthy, the horseman, is almost
as well known in Chicago as in San
Francisco. He has made several fortunes
on the turf and lost them, but nothing
seems to disturb his nerve or the f1t'of his
shaggy hat Until recently Mccarthy was
in sore financial straits. 1t was somewhat
of a surprise last week to find Dan han
ding a check book and wearing all the
outward signs of opulence. When asked
what caused the change, he told a re-
markable story. He said;
Last week I was riding the cars
near Martinez, when a stranger addressed
me and asked if I didn't know him I
gave it up. when he said that twenty
years ago he rubbed Allan Roy, a horse
I once owned. He asked me how I was
getting on, and said had lost all the
money I ever had.
Well he said, ''I have to get off here
at Martinez, and will deposit $40, 900 to
your credit in the bank of Martinez. I'll
send you a check book at once. I have
made a pile of money in the Klondike,
and you might as wen enjoy some of it,
THE fellow left before I could say any
thing. Next day came the bank book with
a note from the president, and I have
been drawing checks ever since"
Mccarthy refused to give the name of
his generous friend. but there is no ques-
ton that he is once more in funds. He
has bought a string of horses, and is once
more hopeful of retrieving his fortunes.

Field For Kentucky Derby.

Louisville. April 1.-THE field for the
Kentucky Derby. now less than three
weeks off is rapidly narrowing down. Al
though there are still fifteen eligibles, it is
practically certain that at least eight or
nine will not start. The most probable
starters are:
Lieutenant Gibson. by C. w. Johnson
Sophia Hardy: c. H. Smith, owner.
Kentucky Farmer. by Leonatus-Plan-
tress, Woodford & Buckner
Star Bright, by imp. Aintree; Spandi-
more. John E. Madden.

Admiral Schley, by Candelmas-For-
mosa, G. c. Bennett.
Thrive, by imp. Top Gallant-Elmira, J.
B. Calm, Schorr may enter his F. w.
Brode.
1t is certain that Boland will have the
mount on Lieutenant Gibson, and Van
Dusen and Crowhurst are expected to
pilot Highland Lad and Admiral Schley.

wGovERN AND WHITE
Famous Fighters to Meet at latter
SAILS in Chicago Tonight.

Chicago. April 17.-Terry McGovern,
the unbeaten featherweight boxer will
appear here tonight at Tattersalls IN a
six round contest with Tommy White,
the best 126 pound boxer in America,
and one of the gameSt men who ever
drew on a padded glove. The articles
of agreement call for the men to be in
side 100 pounds at 3 o'clock today.
McGovern is rightly looked upon as
wonder in his class. He has moved
down all of the bantam and feather
weights in Jig time, and is now obliged
to 90 out of his class and meet men OF
heavier weight and greater cal1ber He Is
looked upon today very much as John
L. Sullivan was in his palmy days-in-
vincible. And there is much in his rec
ord to make a comparison between him
and his great heavyweight prototype
a pat one. McGovern has been in the
ring but a short time, and yet in that
time he has been defeated but once, his
loss then being on q foul committed in
a fight with Tim Callahan. He has since
then been improving steadily, and to-
day stands head and shoulders over the
feather-weights of the world. He whip
ped all of the bantams in short order,
and then made his way into the feath-
er-weight ranks, where he was equally
successful. His last feat. in this line
was his defeat of Eddie Santry at Tat
tersall's two months ago. Santry was
considered an opponent worthy of Ter
rvs game, owing to his defeat of Ben
Jordan, the then English champion
feather-Weight. Five rounds sufficed to
show the public that he was able TO
give any weight to the best of the class.
He had previously, however, polished
off George Dixon, who had also been
fighting men out of his class, owing to
his inability to find men of his weight
who were willing to go on with him,
and in the defeat of Little Chocolate
Terry established himself as an IN
doubted champion in the feather-Weight
ranks.
TOMMY WHITES GREAT RECORD
In the contest to take place at Tat
tersall's Tuesday night he steps still a
point higher, and takes on a man who
for years met and defeated most of The
feather-Weights Of the world, but WHO
has grown somewhat heavier. He, like
MeGovern, has met Dixon-met him
three times, drawing with him twice

Governor Stanley expects to go into
the campaign for reelection soon after
the Republican state convention but
he will not be solely under the control
of the Republican state committee.
The governor has already made a
number of appointments for commence

nizations for the summer season. These
are partisan but when the campaign
opens this fall and when he gets into
the harness making political speeches.
no other invitations will be accepted or
considered.
The governor recently told some of his
friends that he desires to refrain from
mixing the non-partisan and partisan
meetings and he will therefore do one
of those things at a time

Some of the politicians in the Second
congressional district wanted Charles
H. Ridgway, assistant superintendent
of insurance, to make the race for the
nomination for superintendent, but Mr..
Ridgway declined absolutely to consider
such a suggestion and said that he was
for the nomination of the present super

Mr. Church will be nominated. This
is a question upon which all the poll

for which they think Mr.. Church will

Eyler caught the crowd when he entered

to get much of a lead on him on the
