 I'm through with racing in this country. The six day affair in New lori, marked my retirement from the American path is the statement made by Charlgs W. Miller. the interuation- al long distance cycliSt. It has been my experience of late that six-day races are not always run on the square, and that the best man does ont always win. This custom of giv- ing back lost laps because the rider meets with an accident leaves too big q loop hole for frauds, and so I am through with the game. The last six day race in Madison Square Garden was not decided on it's merits. Me Farland and Bikes We're given back lost laps. while poor Gougoltz and Si- mar. the Erenchmen, were forced to lose lap because of q punctured tire. There was one time in particular when the NcFurland-E Bikes team met With an accident. and both men stayed off the track for fully fifteen minutes, laughing and chatting. while the other fellows had to keep on grinding. Me Eachern and Pierce were the real win ners of that race. My present plan is to go on the stage for the rest of the winter

Columbia Foot Ball Coach Arrived in
 New York Yesterday.
 .. George Foster Sanford, Columbia's S noted loot ball coach, arrived in New York yesterday on the Garmanic, after a long tour of Great Britain and Ire land. When seen last night Sanford said: II wish you would say for me that l did not go abroad to take part ill any of the foot race handicaps. but merely for a pleasure trip. X friend entered my name i'll a number of the shandicapS just to see what mark would receive. But I had no idea of competing and never did have. While abroad l saw all of the big foot races. also the foot ball games and tue ath- letic meets. The foot ball, both un- der association and Rugby rules. was so different from the American college game that comparison is impossible. Rugby foot ball as played i'll England impressed me with the idea that the nlf4i do not get out of it all there is m II. If had received q chance to play III the Rugby gaines | don't know what might have happened. Give me the American game for scientific play. It as the best by long odds.

 The Staten Island hackmen knew Kennedy well. They saw d different Sloc of his character from the one pre- |tAted to the church members and his family at New Dorp. To the drivers ne was a jovial fellow. who drank with the boys and who wandered nom" at all hours. To his neichbOrs Il" was the essence of propriety-tem- p9rate. religious and quiet.

 New York, Feb ?.-Nery lilic prog Tess was ili;It!4 Ill the nluiuer trlal ol 'f 'oulIuel .:. henIctiy yesterday. one "4tHesS N;lS c;tiIcu ueiole Judge E'urS- lh;jti ana the Juiy lil the <.rnuula! part or the SuDrGlnc court. d feNy peffunc- tory uUenuUnS were asked ana then an adJoui hlncllt Was taken uuui M0nuuy 1lOI ilinG.
 ihiS witness was Mrs Bessie, Clark. the widow Of Robert Clark, who tpSti- Heh during the last trial that he had Sold 10 Kennedy :, straw hat and a b- cycle cap on 1Ae afternoon of the day tlal DoilN Reynolds was murdered in the Grand hotel, on August l5. l%9S. Mrs Clark was questioned Yesterday only about her husbands death. and It was assumed that the testimony he gave at the last trial would be read instead an application was made for an adjournment on the ground that. through mistake. certain witnesses required in the order of proof were not present.
 l, Mrs Kennedy. who had been seated by tho side of her husband, seemed SIHtcr%iy sorry that the case did not pForeet She is convinced that each cay $ delay robS Dr Kennedy of that much liberty, as she firmly believes that the only result of this trial must be his acuuittal. Her confidence has the effect of sustaining the n,isonpr'r, courage. IIe knows that she. has a,.- coitDilShed wonders since lie H,:tS, first tried and found guilty of murder in the first degree.
 Mrs Kennedy has acted as q detec- tive and she has found many new wifi neSscS to subStantiato the weak alibi presented to the first jury There was then only one logical outcomc-conyic- ti0n.
 Persons who could then have assist ed him hesit:.teG about coming forward not believing that their testimony would hf material. They were sur priscd when he was found guilty and talked to friends When Ms IIpnuc- dy approached them they did not hes itate to tell her all they knew and to agree to come forward.
 Among those when Shc found We're Alfred White and Thomas EcnneiIv hari- trlNcrS, Who remain in the neigh ho:hood of the St George (S. | landing. Both are of the impression that they saw Kennedy after the arrival of the feriyboat which left the New York slip at midnight on August l5. 1898 If Kennedy took that boat for his home in New Dorp he certainly did not kill Dolly Reynolds, as the murderer left the Grand hotel, at Broadway and Ihllty-nrst street, after i o'clock the

 A ALIKE M

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women old and young,r rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages 1t was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- Peared that would relieve the 1tchlness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Deans Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

 He was not in Cleveland more than half an hour before he had opened communication with the Royal Arch league, the saloonkeepers' organiza- tlon. and ill the afternoon he addressed the members.
 "Gentlemen,'' he said, ''Mr Hanna IS for Sargent. The enforcement of laws against your business has been too rigid. Cleveland, under Mayor Sargent, will be wide open town. I dcn t mean that faro will be played on the streets, but you know what 1 mean.''
 As Harrison hadn't been seen in Cleveland since he came with Sulli- van, some of his hearers asked what authority he had to assure them that LIS ,r, "Si eeAieHtS Noulu De IlNeu up to.

I was for a long time bothered with persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and olntments 1 used did me any good until l procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied 1t. It was so soothing and healing, and acted SO promptly that l felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. 1t IS the best remedy for ir- ritatlon of the skin there Is on the market

The interest in bowling at the Y. NJ. C. 4. is steadily increasing and bowling is becoming one of the favor ite paStimes of the members. So in teresting it is becoming that several of the members have purchased their own individual balls. Two games were played last evening and both were very interesting. The Stars and the Defenders were the contestants, the latter winning by a score of .3l9- 1,2G3. The second game was one of the most interesting and closely con tested of the season. The Nutmegs and the Lobsters were the opponents. The game meant much for each of them. Neither side had yet lost game. So a victory meant a clear claim to leadership. After hard con test

DIXON AND LYONS DRAW.

Baltimore. Feb 9.-Tom ORourke'S $ prophecy that George Dixon was ill no condition to enter into Il boxing bout went into the air last night. Tuc tWcnty-round bout between the former feathcTWeight champion and Harry Lyons of Chicago ended ill q draw. Lyons was at least ten pounds heav- fer than Dixon. Dixon held his own well. Lyons was taller by five inches and he had the longer reach, but Dix on showed hiSi old-time cleverness. Dix on weighed about 11S pounds. while Lyons tipped the beam at least at 12S pounds. For eight rounds Dixon had by far the better of the bout. But after that l4yOnsS $ superior weight be- gan to tell, and had it not been fOr the former champions cleyerncss mat terS may hove gone hard with him. Georges eEe was the only part that showed any ill effect of the battle. Ly- onS played for the head throughout. with the exception of the third and fourth rounds, when he shot for the stomach. The bout, while very pretty from 8 scientific standpoint, was rather tame. Dixon. however, de served the most credit of the two on account of the handicap of meeting a larger and stronger adversary.

COMING HARTFORD ROTTS.

That much interest is taken in the coming bout for the lightweight cham pionship of the world between Joe Cans and Jack Downey is indicated by the many inquiries received from New York and other cities regarding the date of the contest. The match will be pulled off before the Crescent Athletic club of Hartford next Friday evening February 11. Al Hereford. manager for Cans, posted the money for his mans appearance early in the week and Downey's mana gers yester- day placed his forfeit in the hands of sam Austin of New York. The go will be for twenty rounds at 133 pounds. The bout between Iiu@hay McPadden of Brooklyn and Billy Ryan of New York looks as if it might be q ra1tlng good one. Ryan appeared q few months ago before a local club and won many friends. The way i'll which he handled himself indicated that he is a conner and will be able to give McPadden first class argument.

Connecticut Birds Wins from Nfossa
 ChuSettS Birds.

Cnionvillo, Feb 9.-Th{,zlargest cock Ing main ever pulled off in this yi,.iu- ity was that about two miles north Of here, at a well known resort, Nctlues- day night. The contest was between MaSSachusetts and CuunHcticut birds and of the six battles fought five J-rre won by Connecticut fowls Tha place was very lively and exciting dur.ng the Tray, nearly 900 sports being pres cnt, many coming frolp as far as New Ao ork and Boston. The Connecticut birds were looked after by q New York man. and were of the Indian red breed, while Black Hawks were backed by the Massachusetts men. About $3,0OO changed hands on the re- suit. there having been $1 O0O on the main alone, while $50 was put on each battle. So quietly was the atfal. ar ranged that only few favored local sports knew of it until afterwards. The men came from Hartford by way of Collinsyille and tnionyille, diviG- ing their party so as to divert slIs- plcIon. At the end of the last battle an excited Boston man jumped into the pit and waved $200O before the crowd, declaring that he would post it as a forfeit that the Connecticut men could not repeat their battle with a like re- suit
