NY MORTALITY.

And yet feel that air and earth and NY
Are ever mine, even iofeyermore
That l and mine can never, never die,
And yet know, how we'll, how we'll know,
That In tho future somewhere hidden lies
A day, the day of days. which has for mo
moment supreme, whan shall close my eyes

when friends win fold my hands upon my brsass
And sadly aayi "Dear soul, her work Ia done.

The busy world will stili ruah madiy oni
Tho earth and air and sky will be for those
Who will not know that have come and gone.

Interesting Gossip for the

old. The Merchants and Manufactur- ers' stake at Detroit was the one in which he made his equine bow to the public that some time afterward paid homage to him as q champion.
 Horsemen would not call this bay with white on his left hind foot a "handsome horse,'' yet they would say that he had all of the distinguishing characteristics of wonderful speed maintaining animal. The protruding chest and apparent wealth of breath ing space, the wide-fiaring nostrils and powerful hindquarters, all indi- cate the stamina the animal possesses to maintain those bursts of speed The Abbot came by his speed honestly, as the followers of the sprinters on the running turf would say. He gets it by inheritance, for Chimes, his sire, was bred at Palo Alto farm, in Cali fornia, by the late Senator Leland Stanford with view of producing 8 reliable speed animal.

WITH THE wREsTLERS.

In agreeing to throw Roeber three times in an hour Nououlah has under taken task that was never before at tempted in the history of wrestling in this country. Roeber has long been considered the Graeco- Roman cham pion of America, and judging from past events 1t looks as though the Turk will have his hands full at the Academy of Music next Friday night. In speaking of the match Roeber said yesterday: Julian says he imported Nouroulah for my especial benefit, and that have shown no inclination to make a match with the big foreigner. I don't see where he has any grounds for such an assertion. 1 have met every one of these giant wrestlers both in this coun- try and Europe, and merely because Nouroulah weighs $40 pounds is no reason why should avoid a match with him. I have wrestled Yousouf, Olsen, Pons, Carl, Apt, Bauer, Ajax, Niemann, Robinet, Herr Schultz, Alp pollon and Pitlezinski, all giants, and Nouroulah does not seen any more ter rible to me than the others. He is a catch-as-catch-can wrestler, while am a follower of the Graeco- Roman code. He is going out of his style ill meeting me, and how he expects to score three pin falls over me in sixty minutes is a mystery I cannot solve. 1t was never done before, and unless am badly mistaken the Turk will find out that he has mapped out a diffi- cult piece of work for himself. 1 do not believe he can throw me once in an hour Graeco- Roman style, large as he iSn

 About His Battle with Gus Ruhlin-

 Jim Jeffries said yesterday that he had postponed his departure for San Francisco until next Saturday. In q talk the champion said: My fight with Gus Ruhlin will not come off until next August or possibly later. Then it may take place in the East. We have received several enticing offers from clubs not hundred miles from New York. Just where the fight will be held am not at liberty to say. But the public will know in due time. I will only stay in California, unless my plans fail, for about two weeks. 1 am merely going to sec my mother and to look up property which have been told will probably yield plenty of oil After this is attended to will return to New York. Jeffries since he left the road has visited the racetracks most every day. On Saturday, accord ing to his own words. he won $1,200s Billy Madden and Gus Ruhlin have al so returned to New York. Madden Is doing much hustling for the big match. He thinks that the combat will be held at Frisco, but prefers the East Ac- cording to a letter which he received from the Twentieth Century A. O., the articles of agreement will be forward cd to Al Smith in a, few days. Thus far the club has not put up any money, but Madden thinks 1t will come before long The battle between Childs and Denver Ed Martin, which was pre- vented from taking place at Grand Rapids, may also be decided at Frisco.

It looked to me as if he was game enough to stand 8 hard drive, and I sent him out to do his best in the second heat. This he won in 2:11h and, unable to get around that mark again, he finished back in the ruck and fourth money was his por- tion for his endeavors. He started in nine other races that season, in six of which he triumphed. He was un- placed twice and distanced in the re- mainder of the events, When he re- tired that year his markwas 2:11
 Strictly speaking The Abbot is not a horse but a gelding, and that fact gave him the record in 1898 as i've year-old gelding with a mark of 2:os. This was good year for the bay, he having won six races out of ten. It was in 1899 that The Abbot compelled the attention of the harness world by starting ten times, winning every time, and showing a record of 29 heats

When Thomas w. Lawson, the Bos- ton millionaire owner of Boralma (2:o6), got to talking about $5o,0oo match races and hastened to get out certified checks for thousands of dol lars to bind match with The Abbot, it looked as if the greatest harness event in the history of the turf was about to be assured. Then when these negotiations fell through and the grand circuit September meet at Hartford seemed likely to have 8 s2o,ooo added race with Boralma, Cresceus (2:o4%), Charley Herr (2:o7) and The Abbot as contenders, with $1o,ooo g side, it looked more like a race than ever. However anxious MT. Scannell, the new owner of The Ab- bot, may be to race this wonder, it maybe late in September before The Abbot is given a real hard test in a race. If contract is binding, The Abbot and Cresceus are matched to race this fall.
 The Abbot is much in the public eye. Last year at Terre Haute this speed wonder made mile in 2:03H, and thousands of people who had become admirers of that pretty mare Alix,

FISHING FOR DINNER.
Was True to It's Natural In- stincts In Captivity.

Looking over my neighbours fence one day" says a lover of animals, T was surprised to see on his doorstep these queer companions: A beautiful white sea gull and my neighbor's pet cat sitting quietly together.
 Becoming interested, jumped the fence and asked Jones about his feath- cred pet. He told me that some boys had shot the gull few days before and broken it's wing and as they were passing his house he noticed the poor, suffering thing and bought it. He bandaged the broken wing and the gull, seeming to understand his kind intentions, became quite tame and nestled it's pretty head against his hand. Js
 Jones entertained, me by showing how the gull usually took it's meals quotes the Christian Advocate. Bringing a plate of oysters and . fork, he called: .Goosey, goosey, goosey!' and the bird came running to him. Then he held out an oyster on the fork and the gull seized it quickly with its yellow bill and ate it as de- murely as if oysters had been served to 1t in this way all ofits days.
 mThe oldest thing occurred one day when my neighbor gave the gull some small pieces of meat for dinner. He placed the meat On the ground near the gull. but the gull, espying pan of water near by, took the meat piece by piece, and, walking over, dropped it into the wafer Then trlla to its na. t,ire, it began fishing for it's dinner"

TT matters little to followers of the

TT matters little to followers of the \ harness horse world whether the
 champion trotter, The Abbot (2:o3H), races this season or merely shows" at the big tracks of the country. The animal that displaced Sweet Little Mare Alix" as champion by half second holds such high place in the hearts of horse lovers that they would feel very bad were The Abbot to meet Boralma, Cresceus or Charley Herr and be defeated. Silent Ed'' Geers, the driver, who knows more about trotters than all most any other turfman, recently was reported as saying that he would reach the coveted ''twominute" mark with The Abbot, but he speedily "called down" the interviewer who put the words in his mouth. Geers will rate an animal along without looking at timer as accurately as a machinist could guide the cutting op- erations of lathe, but he is not pre- pared to make predictions about two minute trotters.

forgot the mark, b.. second slower, set by Alix ii g sew eral years ago, and l.. ne Alb bot. One peculiarity Abbot's champion performance is that his third quarter was the fastest, while the last quarter was done in slightly better time than his first. When Alix made her worlds record she stepped the first quarter in 30R, whereas The Abbot consumed 31A seconds in traversing the two furlongs. Alix did the second quarter in 31A to The Alp bots 3oh, and while Alix's third quar- ter was S1 flat, the new champions time was 2o1s. Alix took 31 for the last quarter, while The Abbot used a half second more.
 That wonderful veteran, c. J. Ham lin, of the Village farm, who bred The Abbot, who is a son of Chimes, that famous marvel of speed that was once the apple of the eye of the sage of the Village farm, says that like his sire, The Abbot might have de- veloped much speed had he been raced when younger. No follower of the turf doubts that MT. Hamlin let up on Chimes every time he thought he was demanding too much of the son of Electioneer. MT. Hamlin's great animal did not begin his turf career until 1897, when he was four years

ARE QUICK TO LEARN.
EsIkimo Children Are Intelligent and Make Very Little Trouble

This picturesque little Eskimo pos. sesses natural interest from the fact that he is one of Uncle Sam's most northern schoolboys. His schoolhouse is located at Pt. Barrow, Alaska, and stands on the most northern portion of land on the American continent and marks the end of civilization in the arctic regions. The site was recently selected by the United States bureau of education for school. The govern ment has also established a refuge sta ton here for the wintering of ship wrecked sailors of the whaling fleets. The school next to Uppernavak, Green land, is the most northern mission in the world. It.is securely built of huge
 logs, having double walls to secure

Lamps are required in the schoolhouse during the long, dark, arctic night, which extends from No- vember to February. The weather ranges from 27 degrees to AZ degrees below zero. The teachers at Pt.

YALE FRESHMEN WIN.
Three Victories Perched on the Banner
 of the Yale Crew.


 of the Yale Crew.
 New Haven, May 20.-Yale freshmen won a triple victory Saturday after noon in the university spring regatta. They smashed the record for the his toric Yale course by six seconds, de feated the fleet Columbia 1904 crew by more than a length, and finally won the Yale class championship by beat ing the seniors and sophomores in the closing race of the day.
 In the Yale-C Columbia freshman race the Yale men took the lead at the quar- ter mile, and graudally increased it till the finish. Columbia had the poorer course. Coach Hanlan of Columbia says this cost his men more than a length. Although defeated, Columbia broke the Yale record at Lake Whit ney by one second.
 A sensational incident marked the race between the freshmen, seniors and sophomores. Before the senior class eight had gone a quarter of a mile Stroke w. D. Howe broke his oar. To save the crew from rowing his dead weight to the finish he Ieaped over board and swan to the shore. His plucky act was wildly applauded by the crowd present, but his fellow oars men, with only seven men in the boat, dropped behind and finished last.
 Howe was obliged to run a mile in dripping clothes before he could reach the Yale boathouse and be rubbed down. He said last night that he had experienced DO i'll effects from his icy bath.
 All the races were rowed in a drenching rain, so that Howe's condi- tion did not differ much from that of the spectators.
 The Yale varsity had trouble to beat the second crew and did 1t only by lowering the record from 6:24 to Gil over the one and half mile course.

 Small wonder than after this season which, it is said by old timers, stands without parallel, the harness horse followers began to wonder what Mir. Hamlin would do with the gelding in 1900 unless he resorted to the plan of starting this animal against the watch. In July the faithful animal was sent against time at Detroit, but failed to lower his own record. The following month he made the reading 2:o5A. Then, as the followers of the performances of this great unsexed horse will recall, came his 2:O4 at the Empire City track near New York This was followed by his Terre Haute exhibition, when he made his grand record.

FENN STARTS WELL.
He Wins His First Professional Race
 at the Yailsburg Track.


 Sheriff George Virtue of Essex coun- ty did not try to stop the bicycle races at the Vailsburg track yesterday. The sheriff was present with party of of ficials representing Chief Justice David A. Depue, to whom report will be made to-day.
 There is no doubt that the opinion of the representatives of the law and the committee of citizens accompany ing them will be favorable to con tinuance of the sport. Five thousand people watched the races in a drizzling rain. The track was slippery from the rain, and nineteen of the twenty-two starters in the flve-mile amateur handi- sap fell, thirteen of them at once time, but no one was injured.
 ". s. Fenn, the amateur champion of last season, made his first appear ance in the professional ranks, and his riding was feature of the day. He displayed ability to cope with the fast est of the professionals, winning the half mile open race, his first contest. In the deciding heat Kramer ran over the bank just after the start and car rled Fisher with him.
 They all met again in the two-mile handicap, Kramer and Walthour from the scratch and Fenn and Jacobson from thirty yards. Kramer led the sprint, followed closely by Walthour, who took his second defeat of the day, Kramer winning by two feet. Tenn had the outside throughout the sprint and stopped on the last lap.
 In the amateur races Fl. P. Jewell of New York took the quarter mile novice race and won the five-mile handicap, being one of the three men of the twenty-two starting who did not fall. Sullivan outrode Schreiber in the quarter mile, which was in the nature of a gift, 1t being the general opinion that Schrieber won the race. The fip- ish was very close.
