IErFR1Es AND RuHLlN.

Billy Madden seems to be of the
mind that Jeffries does not care to
fight Gus Rubin, and intimates that
he is tired of waiting on the champion
any longer. His argument is that it
is now over year since Jeffries de-
feated Corbett and that the champion
should expect fight soon IL he is a
defender of his title. Madden pretends
to feel hurt that Jeffries has not ar
ranged match with San Francisco
club, and says that the champion has
practically ignored all of Ruhlin's
challenges and letters. In the absence
of anything better to do Rubin has
dealt out wrestling challenge and
has named Bob Fitzsimmons as the
man he would like to maui on the
mat. July was the day set for the
bout. Ruhlin's proposition to Fitz
is said to be part of plan for big
wrestling carnival, in which all the
leading heavy weight fighters, except
Jeffries, are to take part Rubin, Fitz-
simmons and Sharkey are named as
prospective wrestlers at a carnival to
be given soon in Madison Square Gar
den, New York.

The registration of trade marks has

by such means or by letters patent it

ulous person. 1t is only within a few
years, however, that the question OF
protecting trade marks has assumed
grave importance This is due to the
enormous increase in advertising OF
health foods, cereals, patent medicines
and athletic novelties. The tariff of
charges for registering trade marks in
the various countries seems in some
instances to be based upon the idea
that authorized labels and the like are
as much luxury as a coach and four.
In Zululand Peru, Uruguay, Hong

country trade marks are filled with the
patent office and the price for register
ing one is $55, which is the lowest rate
charged anywhere. Canada charges $50
for general or special trade mark.
There are some countries of Europe
that demand 500 for registering a
trade mark, but in Great Britain, Ger
many, Austria, France and Spain the
fee in each case is SIS. This is the
rate asked in the majority of the Eng

Wales and New Zealand, but in Cape

A SUSPICIOUS CASE.

Jack Roots victory over Kid" Car
ter at San Francisco was unsatisfac-
tory, because it came about through
foul. Root would probably have won
anyway He had the better of Carter
up to the termination of the fight, and
it was a piece of bad luck that he did
not win a clear decision, which he had
fairly earned, if the reports of the
contest are accurate Afoul is always
an unsatisfactory ending to big bout.
The spectators at the ring saw Root
gradually wearing his man down. and
in the fierceness of the battle could see
a knockout in sight almost any time.
Suddenly Root goes to the floor with
ing in pain, and the supposition is that
Carter has caught him and laid him
out. Then the referee walks over and
declares Root the victor on a foul. I'm
doubtedly the referee knew his bust
ness, but the crowd failed to see the
blow Some think the decision is I'M
Just. and a few doubt whether Root
was really fouled.

In former days herring were so
abundant in Newfoundland waters
that the most wanton slaughter OF
them was permitted without any re-
striction whatever. Seines were al
lowed to retain 1000 or 1000 barrels of
the fish until they persisted, and then
the net was freed and the whole con-
tents fell to the bottom to pollute the
ocean for miles around When
poaching smack was captured the
herring II had on board were all
thrown into the sea, and frequently
boats when chased resorted to the
same means to get rid of discriminating
evidence. The fish then fetched only
fifty cents a barrel of 500 herring, or
10 for a cent; they sell now in Ameri-
can cities sometimes for five cents tho
single fish. Such wanton waste gradu-
ally had its effect, and now the colo
NAL fishing laws safeguard the indus
try more vigilantly, and fishermen of
all classes know better how to hus-
band their resources in this connec-
ton. Today herring bait usually
brings SIS a barrel, and sometimes
twice that, and the smuggler who
plans to land cargo at st. Pierre con-
tracts for $40 a barrel before he

BINGEN's EARLY SPEED.

Bingen was campaigned right along

of the trio old enough to have shown
anything of his capacity as a speed

lions are still short of 2;20 perform
er. The best 3-year-old trotter out
this season is expected to be the colt
by Bingen, dam Nancy Hanks, 2:04.
Peter the Great has no foals old
enough to determine whether or not he
is to be sire of speed. but as to the
other two stations owned by Mr..
Forbes there is no argument.
Thus far this season at the Forbes
