LONDON, Dec. H. Sir Christopher Furness, the English shipowner and steelmaster, who has just returned from an extended tour of the United States, said in an interview published this morning that during this visit he had been forcihly struck by the great improvement in American railroads. He said that since his last visit to the United States in 1892 there had been wonderful development there. Ameri- can trade was busy and improving in all directions. British masters must get their backs to the wall in order to meet this serious competition He said he was disappointed at finding that the younger generation of Canadians was crossing the border into the United States and said he thought Canada de- served better support from the mother country,

He Defeated Student Slosson Last
 Night in Deciding Game.
 Wizard Jacob Schaefer of Chi cago is the champion eighteen inch ballz line billiardist. He met George |. Slosson of New York last night ill the deciding game of the international tournament ill Madison Square Garden concert hall and defeated him by q score of 400 to 355. The hall was un- comfortably crowded with one of the most representative gatherings of bill Hard lovers ever seen in the city.
 Schaefer began poorly, missing some easy shots. until the sixth inning, when he scored 2S. Slosson in his eighth inning made g. which placed him slightly ahead of his opponent. Schae- fer led at the end of the tenth inning by sixteen points, but four consecutive ciphers in his score altered this ar engagement, and Slosson. playing an improved game, kept in the lead until he had turned his second century.
 In his thirtieth inning Schaefer got the balls in the center of the table and treated the spectators to a pretty run of billiards. His nursing was perfect and it looked as if he would overtake and pass iSlosson in this run, but he slipped up on bank shot, from which he failed to get either ball out. His score then was 199 to Blossoms 21o
 Slosson made a pretty bunch of 43 ill his forty-second inning by splendid all-around play He avoided the cen 4.N,, .ls T | care for the nursing tactics displayed by the Chicago man. At the end of the forty-fifth inning the score stood 309 to 267 in favor of Slosson.
 Schaefer for the second time in the game electrified the spectators by the prettiest and longest run of the tour nament in his half of the forty inning with well-earned 6S, made up of q series of strokes which showed that he undoubtedly was the better player and decidedly deserving of the worlds championships which he won q few minutes later with success sive runs of 322, 13 and 20, the latter run being unfinished
 In the afternoon Schaefer defeated Morningstar by 114 points. The game was long drawn out
 Tonight Slosson and Barutel, the Frenchman. each having lost two games out of the series of five, will play off for second honors, and this game will end the tournament. Sutton of Chicago got fourth place. and How ison and MoIningstar divided fifth and sixth honors. each of them having lost four games.

WITH THE WRESTLERS.
Parker's Manager Wants to Get Dwy-
 CT Under His Wing.


 Up to the time of writing this ar ticle Manager George B. Harrington had received no word from George Bothner of New York relative to the offer made by Professor Dwyer that he would throw him twice in one hour. As was said yesterday it is not prob able that Bothner will come fo this city to make such a match. He has been heard from by [; friend and while the report is not confirmed it is said that Bothner does not wish to come here for the contest but he might be induced to take DWyer on in New York. That would please Dwyer just as much as anything else, for it makes no difference to him where he meets Bothner so long as he does meet him.
 The professor was very much sur prised yesterday when he received letter from Johnny Dunn manager Of Harvey Parker in which letter he tried to get Dwyer to go under his management Dunn evidently recog- nizes that Dwyer is q pretty fast man, in fact faster than his former protege, and he sees much money ahead of him ii he could get Dwyer to sign q con- tract with him. This the professor will not do, for he considers that he is capable of managing his own af- fairs. The only way in. which he would have any relations or business with Manager Dunn would be when Dunn arranged q match with himself and Parker. When that time comes. if 1t ever does, and the hope is now remote one, Dwyer will be on hand to talk business and make arrangements for a match for any part of S1 ,000. | Parker has jumped to the west with 1 the show he is travelling with and it looks as though Dunn had lost him. Dwyer is not to be caught by any of fer of management and if he cannot | get match with Parker he prefers to | let his affairs stay as they are.
 Dwyer also received two other let | ters, one from the manager of the | Turk. Nechad, who was recently de- | feated by Roeber. and another from the manager of Bothner in New York. | The Turk, who weighs in the neigh | borhood of POO pounds, will be side tracked for the present. but the offer or Bothners manager will be consid- | cred Unless Manager Harrington SC E cures him for Waterbury Dwyer may [ take chance at Bothner in New York. II he does take that chance he will | bet any part Of $1 ,0OO that he defeats the New York lad
 Professor Atlas, who made a great shout the other night about taking on DWyer and Perrie, his wrestling part her, may have q chance to get q Whack at Perrie when the latter returns from New York. Atlas has deposit of S2o up and just as soon as Perrie gets 10 Waterbury that money will be coy cred. Dwyer will back Perrie against nm in a mixed wrestling contest and perhaps that 1000 that Atlas was talking about so fiippantly the other evening may be called on. There are very many people in this city who do not know Perrie or his ability. but he has q record that would open your eyes. and this record will be published Just as soon as the match is made, if it is made

The British Farmer's. Hard Lines

LONDON, Dec. 11.-Robert William HanbuFy, president of the board of az riculture, bewailed the misfortunes Of the British farmer in q speech before the Farmers club in London last night He contrasted the position of the Brit ish farmer to that of the farmer i'll the United States, where, he said, the gov ernment assisted agricultural interests, realizing that the greatness of the na- tion depended upon the material pros. perity of the country. MT. Hanbury said he considered that agriculture in Great Britain had been deliberately sacrificed fifty years ago to build up manufacturing industries.

 When New Haven: Will Be Here.
 That clever New Haven bunch of polo players will be on hand tonight TO try to take a fall out of the local players. and it vii be a red-hot contest from start to finish. The Waterbury players are putting up a pretty stiff article of polo and wherever they go the papers all herald them as q team to be feared. Tonight they are pre- Eared to do business, and when they get through with the New Haven bunch there win not be much left cf them.
 New Haven defeated Waterbury last night at the Chapel Street rink by the score of II to 1. says The New Haven Palladium. For two periods the game was very closely played. but in the last fifteen minutes of play New Haven fairly walked away with Waterbury. and won handily. Both clubs played a strong game for two periods. and if sutton. the Waterbury goal tend, I;.d done we'll all during the game the score would have been different. Waterbury had .Dumpy'' Williams in the game, and he did much to strength the visit ing club. New Haven started out Well in the opening of the game and made three goals before Waterbury hardly had a chance to speak. Waterbury spruced up in the second period and tied the score, giving New Haven suine- thing to play for. With the score tie. Bone did some great work in he latter part of the second period. and dissolved the score i'll favor of New Haven. The crowd was greatly eN~ cited and thought Waterbury was going to give New Haven very close rub. The Blues played a great game in the third period. making six goals to Waterbury's one. The game was lot ly contested to the end, and the sports saw a good evenings sport The score:
