and inches long, and six inches in
diameter at the top. His evidence
further tended to show that the tim
Der was not cut in a good and work
manlike manner, and that some of it
was still left standing upon the farm,
not having been cut and delivered at
all, for which he claimed damages to
the amount of from $50 to $50.

PENDANT tended to show that all the

Rlind Mnn,s Long Journey.

An astounding railway journey from Constantinople to Berlin has just been performed by blind man. This ad- venturous person secreted himself in the bogey of carriage between the axle and spring, and rode the whole Journey of B hours in that position. He arrived in Berlin half-dead with hunger and thirst and trembling like leaf, and as black as negro with dirt and coal dust. He describes the journey as one long agony.

boned, ungainly animal and a sleepy looking one until he is called upon to exert himself. Just then, however, he wakes up, and anything more sug- gestive of the power of an irresistible machine than Cresceus in action is difficult to imagine.
 Old-timers who saw the record breaking race were calculating as to what chance such a splendid mare as the late Robert Bonner's Maud s. would have had with Cresceus had she been of the 1atter's generation. Maud s. made a record of 2:O8A to a high-wheeleda sulky, that stood for six years before Sunol cut it down half a second. There is no doubt that the low-wheeled, pneumatic tired sulky is several seconds faster than the old-style racing vehicle, and many horsemen believe that Mir. Bonner's famous mare was capable of even faster trotting than she actually did, although that was fast enough to keep her the undisputed queen of the track for six years. While she was in her prime Maud s. was SUI preme, and it is a thousand pities that her exceptional qualities could not be yperpetuated 4 7 No trotting horse ever held so .1nany speed records as Cresceus, and he eminently deserves the royal title b won at Brighton.

NEW TROTTING KING
cresceus Reduces the Mile Record
 to Exactly 2:o2 IA.
He Is an Ungain1y Animal. Big and RawbOned, and Looks Sleepy Until Called Upon to
 Exert Himself.

A new trotting king was crowned at the Brighton Beach racetrack, August IS, in the presence of 25,ooo lovers of that distinctively American product, the trotting horse. The fate of the former king EAd been fore shadowed three weeks before at Cleveland, when Cresceus lowered The Abbot's mark of 2:03A to 2:02A and a week later to 2:O2A; but The Abbot was not formally deposed un- til August 15, when he and Cresceus met at Brighton, to the discomfiture of the former. It is true that an un- fortunate break by The Abbot early In the second heat prematurely de- prived him of an opportunity to re- verse the apparently decisive verdict of the first heat, but it was the opin- ion of horsemen generally that as The Abbot had not had hard race before this year he could not win at all if he did not win at first, and to win at all he would have been forced to lower his own record, for Cresceus equaled it when he beat him.
 It appears to be true that in Cres- ceus Mir. Ketcham towns the most re- markable as well as the fastest trot- ting horse ever bred. The list of this stallion's achievements are unparal- leled. Not only does he hold the world record against time, 2:O2A, but at Brighton he made the best time for a mile ever trotted in competl- tion, at the same time establishing a new record for the fastest two heats ever trotted in one race. He had al- ready trotted the fastest mile ever trotted on half-mile track, the time being 2:oesz.
 Cresceus lacks the fine lines of the typical trotter. He is a big, raw

him. Late Sunday afternoon half a dozen of the fair ones met Foss on the public square, bounced upon him and overwhelmed him with kisses. The music teacher protested and threat ened to have them arrested, but his threats were laughed at and the girls did not stop their amusement until they had kissed Foss plentifully. He says he will get his revenge through the law, but the general sentiment is that he will get little in the way of re- dress and much in the way of ridicule if he courts further publicity.

George Tuohey, on behalf of Tom Jenkins. has issued another challenge ito the heavyweight boxers who have taken up wrestling as a source of reve- nue. Tuohey especially aims his def at Tom Sharkey. who he thinks would give Jenkins good struggle. Jenkins and Sharkey have already met and Jenkins won. Tuohey says: "Jen- kins will tackle Ruhlin or Jeffries. If these two men want any exercise pre- paratory to going into training for their coming contest they can have it. Jenkins does not bar anybody. Of course he is not at all anxious to meet elephants, but is prepared to give av-v little weight in pinch.'

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Dixon and Attel Fight Poor Twenty
 Rounds.

Cripple Creek, Col. Sept 14.-George Dixon and Abe Attel of California fought twenty rounds to draw before the Olympic Athletic club Thursday night The bout was absolutely de void of interest and many of the spec tators left the hall before it's close. Neither man received a scratch and the whole affair savored strongly of fraud. The spectators were thoroughly dis gusted with the exhibition and express ed their disapproval in unmeasured terms. It is quite possible that last nights exhibition may cause the au- thorities to suppress prize fighting here in the future.

Mcleod the wrestler matched with Jenkins. is not inclined to believe the story of the CleveIander's injuries, which caused the declaring off of their match.
 II don't want to make any un- just accusations" said Mcleod, ''but it does seem queer to me that Jenkins should get hurt at this time. He has had dozens of other matches since 1 first say him in Cleveland and he never got injured until he went into train ing for q match with me. He may have been injured as set forth, but there are a great many persons who doubt it. I wouldn't have had this match postponed for a good deal of money. l had grown tired of reading about Jenkins as the champion, and expected to have had the question set tied next Monday night. I am in per feet condition and would like to wres- tie tonight. This talk about Jenkins being champion is all bosh, and is nation
 based on nothing more than the inn agination of Jenkins press agent. noticed a statement one day that Jen- kins won the championship by beat ing Farmer Burns. That was incor- rect. I beat Farmer Burns twice be- fore Jenkins beat him. Wittmer beat Evan Lewis when that leg breaker held the championship, and I beat Wittmer shortly afterward. This was six or seven years ago. when the Cincinnati fellow was at his best. This talk about Jenkins being champion makes me weary. will bet $1.000 that I can take the three best men ever beaten by Tom Jenkins and beat them all in the same night. This is how much think of his championship claims. This is no idle boast. I have beaten all the men that Jenkins beat and many more, and I know can beat the three gbest he has won from, in the same night. This Lundine. who won a mixed handi- cap match from Jenkins, beat with ease, throwing him three times in forty minutes"
