old. He arrived at Alto Paso, H., re-
Gently from Copenhagen to visit his
uncle, C. lessen, fruit package man

Leiche had been there only snort
time when his weird mental powers
began to "astonish the natives" He
first performed in drug store down

His uncle heard of it and secuted tho
idea of its reality A few evenings lat
er he repeated his SHOW" in his
uncles home and completely routed
that worthy mans skepticism regard

uncles home he used an iron poker
several feet long and quite heavy.
Standing it against the wall at an angle
of 40 degrees. he seated himself few
feet distant, focused his eyes on the
top of the poker and within few sec

Caution in Handling Fishes.

In handling fishes it requires a GER
tain amount of care to avoid being
cut by the fins, which in some species
are to some extent poisonous. The
Key West fisherman has an unbound
ed horror of being bitten by almost
any kind of fish, as he fears blood
poisoning will set in, although accord
ing to those who have studied the
question, there seems to be very little
foundation for this fear.

Silvardala A Good Colt.

Sflverdaie has been miErated colt all this spring. He has been pro- claimed a sprinter because he beat the best of the sprintcrs at the short game. That he was started in such events built up the impression that he could not go a route, and this impression was strengthened when, in his trial for the St. Louis Derby he showed great reluctance to extend himself after run ming a fast mile. Not a horseman who saw the trial expected the colt to be even a slight factor beyond the first mile except insofar as he might. in falling back beaten ,get in some other horse's way. The public did not agree with the horeemen. They had seen Sil- verdale win too Sood races to desert him, and they made him stanch fa- vorite. The horscn1en were wrong: the public were right. When it came to the actual race, Silverdale showed no reluctance, no hesitancy. He did all that was asked of him, passed through a series nr mlshaps sufficient to dishearten many horse, and then, when he looked hopeIesA!y pocketed in the stretch, suddenly found an opening, shot out and went after the leader, Sannazarro; made up his ground and beat him to the wire. What else q horse can do to gain for himself the title of stake horse it would be hard to imagine.

Gives Selma the Game in the Fourth
 Inning and Makes Straights
 Selma. June 1s.-(SpeciaD-With two men down in the fourth inning, and three men on bases, Freeland gave AL exander free pass to first forcing Va- dois to score. Bailey then followed hit- ting beautiful single which brought Dalrymple and Alexander home safely. This was the only inning in which the New Orleans pitcher weakened and 1t proved fatal to the Pelicans. On the other hand Bailey stood steady on the firing line for the locals, holding the tail-enderg down to six hits. which were well scattered. New Orleans ouly run was perhaps made possible by Aliens error at third, followed by Abbott's hit for three bases after two men went down before him. Allen is excusable as 1t was a difficult chance. Both teams retired with ease in the first two innings. while for Selma in the fourth. Longley went out from second to first, Valdois walked, Stouch hit to second safe on Dowie's error, Allen hit to sec- ond. Stouch died at second. Dalrymple walked. filling the sacks. Alexander al- so passed free forcing Valdois to sac- ond. Bailey hits safe scoring Allen and Dalrymple. The game stood until the seventh, when New Orleans made her only run.

The Tennis Tournament.

The coming Tennis Tournaments to be held in, Atlanta and New Orleans has aroused a great deal of enthusi- asm in local tennis circles. and num- bers of players are putting in some good hard practice on the courts at Cloverdale.
 The system of rating the players of the club has again been inaugurated, and at the close of the past week it stands as follows:
 Class "A"-No. 1, Tyson; No. 2, El- more, F. H.: No. 3. Stratford.
 Class "B"-No. 1. Graves; No. ?, Norton; No. 3, Jones. A. J.
 Class "C''-No. l, Joseph; No. 2. Kirk land: No. 8, Rambo.
 From present indications, Montgom- cry will be well represented in the coming tournaments, and the local men have strong hopes of landing some of the championship honors for Montgom- cry. At present, Tyson is playing the strongest game of any of the local players, showing marked improvement over last seasons form. which landed him high in both the Montgomery and Atlanta Tournaments, and is sure to be we'll up lin the bunch" with the lead CTS in the coming events. The new courts at Cloverdale are now in splen- did condition. and will doubtless be even better than the old courts.

Amateur Baseball Booming.

Amateur baseball is on big boom in Montgomery, and the interest taken in the game is greater than has ever been known.
 The Y. M. c. A. team that gave such a decisive defeat to the railroad team last Saturday has challenged the Fall cons. and while the challenge has not been officially accepted, the game will probably be played in the next few days. The Falcons have one of the hardest games of their career next Thursday, when they go up against the amateur team that played the Au- burn College team some time ago. Un- usual interest is taken in this game, and it bids fair to be even a faster game than the Louisville and Nash ville-Falcon game-and that was the fastest amateur game of ball ever played in Montgomery.

American perby starters.

Ev- cry one of the 1000 stalls Is occupied or engaged for horses to arrive tomor- row or Friday for the season of sport, which will terminate July 20, and the men who will care for these almost would outnumber a full regiment of soldiers. Several of the Derby candi- dates were worked today. Tomorrow all of them will be given their final prop" for the big race.

Field Also in Doubt.

To name the probable field is a diff c,ilt task. There are a number of known starters. there are several that are ex- pected to start, there are some dark horses. and there are still others that not even the owners have decided about. It all lends peculiar uncertain fy not only to the race, but to the meid
 An instance of the uncertainty of the race Is found in the case of the Keene horses. Mir. Keene has entered Com mando, Conroy and Omdurman. Up to date he has given no definite indica- flon of his actual intentions. There is pienty cs time for him to get his horses here, and if he; should light on Com mando as tn. candidate to carry his roIocs 1t would materially lessen the field, ss many owners would never consent to race against the great son Df Donno. He is too great thorough bred.

FaYorite Hard to Choose.

Although its result may be just as great a surprise, the Derby of 1901 is unlike the Derby of 1900. A, year ago today Leutenant Gibson was conced- ed the purse, not only by the wise men of the turf. but by the talent as we'll His remarkable work before the race and his general showing were the things responsible for the belief that he would win.
