Exploration of Lake Tansanyika.

An interesting exploration of Lake Tanganyika and the country north of it, finished recently, revealed the fact that while certain sea mol lusks are found in this lake, it is the only one of all the large African lakes in which such phe- nomena are observed. This lake is only a short distance, some SC miles, from the great Congo basin, much of which, without doubt. was once covered by the sea. The halo Jimmie fauna apepared to extend into the Congo valley, and it is believed that the lake at one time, extended considerably to the west. Lake Nyassa, on the other. hand. has every characteristic of fresh-water lake and the geological fauna does not in. dicate that this lake is of any great age.-N. Y. Post.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Maher and Sharkey are Finally
 Matched to Fight.

so N~>N~~
 Things-McGovern and Sullivan
 Match Still Hanging Fire-All Con-
 tests May Be Off in Louisville.
 The match between Thomas Shar- key and Peter Maher may be clinched to-day, when the men meet to sign articles. The preliminary arrange ments were made yesterday and all that is left to attend to to-day is the selection of q referee, date and the division of the purse. Sharkey said last night that he can get into condl- ton to fight six weeks after the arti- cles are signed.
 Sharkey when he heard that Pat rick T. Powers was in Cuba recently arranging for a fighting club, expressed q desire to have his bout with the Irish champion decided in Havana.
 II have been there Often,' he said. land a good fight would be big at traction
 Maher, however, is known to prefer San Francisco as the scene of the bat tie. He promised James c. Kennedy when the latter tried before to ar range a match for Maher with the sailor, that he would give him the preference if match was made. It is, therefore reasonable to believe that the men will meet in San Francisco about April 30.
 Sharkey is willing to fight in San Francisco if suitable purse is of fered. He seems to think that a purse of S20,OOO is not too much for the bout.
 T want to make a side bet of S10.- GOO if Maher can get the backing.' he Said- He told me several days ago that William Smith. a brother of Pitts burg Phil. was ready to back him for that amount. If this is so, why just let him trot out his man with the bankroll.
 T am ready to make a match for twenty rounds. or I will agree to fight to a finish. They would stand for a finish fight in Havana. At any rate, We are going to get together. I know that Peter wants to fight and that is the best evidence that there is going to be something doing in the fighting line before many weeks"
 Sharkey and Maher expected to fight in Louisville on Derby night and were very much disgruntled when they learned that the date had been given to McGovern and Dave Sullivan.

CHALLENGE BROOKLYN BOYS.

We, the Crescent polo team of the South End, hereby challenge the Fourth Ward polo team of Brooklyn to play a game any night next week. the sooner the better. The Fourth Ward team claims the championship of the city outside the shop league, having won twelve games and lost none. We also claim the championship, having yet to lose our first game. Games have been arranged on two or three different occasions with the Fourth Wards. but for some reason best known to themselves they have failed to make good and now as a last resort we insert this challenge in your paper. If the Fourth Ward team relishes the name of ''quitters' or "craWlers," why well and good. but if they don't let them come forward and q game can be arranged without delay. The line up is as follows: First rush, T. EitZ- maurice. captain: second rush. NJ. Fitz- maurice: center. T. O'Connor; halfback, E. Curley; goal. J. White.
 Yours respectfully.
 THE CRESCENT POLO CLUB.
 It is puzzling to many who regard Mercer as a fast player why he does not hold on with teams engaging him. He is a very good ruSher, being an exceptionally quick and accurate drive. Some say he is a diSOrganiZer, others that he is of disposition not calcu- lated to please most managers, but the young player has friends here who describe him as a genial fellow very easy to get along with.-Brockton Times And this is the chap they said was better than Griffin.
