BREED HORSES WITH RECORDS

]. Malcolm Forbes of Boston, who in
Bingen, 2:06A, Peter the Great 2:07A
and Arion, 2:01A, has three of the best
trotting stations in the world evidently
has not much faith in the arguments Of
those who decry the use of stations and
mares With fast records for breeding pur-
poses.
The contention of these theorists is that
it is unwise to breed to stations that
have been campaigned until they took
fast records, or that We're severely train
ed as colts. or to use as matrons mares
| whose speed was fully developed by rae
| ing. Such animals, they claim, have
| lost much of the vitality that is neces-
| sary for the production of strong. healthy
| foals and they also hold that there is no
| great advantage in the way Of possible
| speed production to be gained by using
| for breeding purposes trotters and PAGERS
| that have shown. their ability to win
| races. Mr.. Forbes is adopting just the
| opposite view, is following in the foot
| steps of Lord Falmouth, the most sue
cessful breeder of thoroughbreds England
ever knew.
| Breed to the Derby winner" was the
| dictum of Admiral Rous, a great au-
thority on all things pertaining to the
| turf. All three of Mr. Forbes stations
were trained in colthood. Aron holds
the record for that age, 210A, to high
wheel sulky. Bingen trotted a public
mile in 2:121a when years old, making
| him only a little inferior to Arion in
| speed at a tender age. Peter the Great
was second to the winner in the Ken
| lucky Futurity for 2-year-olds when the
record for fllies Of that age was set at
2:14 by jamie T. He won the 3-year-old
! di ision of the same stake in 2:12la
and, as a 4-year- old trotted in o:07A, and
showed himself one of the greatest race
| horse trotters ever foaled. He is in train
| ing again this seasan, and reported going
| better than ever.

at the opera house. Barry looks fit and
as he is always in good condition will re-
quire little work, other than that nee
essary to become acclimated. He should
have little difficulty in disposing Of La
Fontise although the latter is expected to
give a good account of himself. Ac-
cording to agreement the fighters are to
weigh in at 142 pounds at 3 o'clock the
day of the fight.
Barry scarcely needs Introduction as
his record as clever and game light
weight is we'll known. In his many fights
throughout the country he has gained the
decision over some good ones, notable
among them being Rufe Turner, the clev-
err colored lightweight, from California.
That was a ten round bout, fought in
Denver about six months ago. Recently
Barry drew a ten round bout with Kid
Parker in Denver. He is the holder of
the lightweight championships of the
west and Of Canada. The latter was won
from Jim Popp at Toronto last Septem-
Der.

Chapman After Riders.
John Chapman whose performance at

in time for the races Wednesday night.
Chapman is now in Salt Lake where he
went on business for Manager King Of
the Butte Athletoic association. He will
probably bring some fast riders from the
Salt Lake saucer when he returns.
A feature Of the races Wednesday night
at the saucer will be the contest between
two motor cycles. The race will probably
be five miles and as 1t will be something
entirely new to Butte will certainly prove
a drawing card. The tandems will be
ridden by liver Lawson and John Chap
man and the Turville brothers who are
coming from Salt Lake.

PUGILISM.

but Judging from the number of scraps"
that were pulled off in various sections
Of the country, it appears it cannot come
too hot for the fighters. especially when
the game is grasping at straws like
drowning man, and fight money Is hard
to get.
Pugilists must live and those that
neglect to prepare for the warm spell are
now compelled to don gloves instead OF
shedding them. Boxing, when the
mercury is bubbling near the top OF the
thermometer, is as much out Of place as
swimming is in the lake in January. still,
what is the poor pug" going to do!
Driven from pillar to post by the au-
thorities in seasonable fight weather
they are forced to scrap whenever the
opportunity presents itself.

Makes Nine Circuits of the Saucer il
1:36-Fails to Lower Five Mile
Record Because Motor Tandem
Breaks Down - Holman
Beaten by a Local
Amateur.

John Green. champion of England.
Went after the five mile record of liver
Lawson at the saucer last night and
failed to lower it simply because the
motor. pacing him, broke down. 1t waA
great disappointment to the large
crowd. which had been awakened to the
greatest excitement and enthusiasm as
the speedy rider kept to the fearful pace,
which certainly indicated that a new
record would be established. The fail
IRE of the motor was due to the fact that
the speed valve became loosened and
could not be opera ted.
Green went after the motor on a flying
start and it was at once apparent that
ht was in good condition to make fast
time. He did the first mile in ISL 1-5.
the second in 40 2-5 and entered on the
third mile with the crowd cheering wild
ly. AS the motor sped around the track
closely followed by Green. who rode well
in the vacuum. it was apparent that the
seconds We're being clipped off in great
shape and when the mile was concluded
and the time, 1856 Announced the crowd
went wild.
That time equaled the best mile made
by Lawson Friday night and the spec
tators settled down to see the five mile
record broken. Inc nrSt four laps OF
the fourth mile We're done in even faster
time than any of those of the previous
miles and Green was still fresh when
the motor failed. The Englishman was
not phazed by the mishap and won the
admiration of the crowd by pluckily go
ing ahead of the motor and finishing the
remainder of the distance unpaced.
His total time for the five miles was
Gal 2-5, which was very creditable con-
sidering the circumstances.
The motor was ridden by John Nelson
and Arite Bell. The surprise of the night
was the defeat Of Holman, the speedy
young amateur, by Barnett. The defeat
came in the final Of the one-third mile
amateur handicap. Hoffman was on
scratch with Barnett 70 yards in front
Of him at the start. From the crack Of
the pistol Barnett rode a great race and

Newport, r. l.. July So a. m.-Sun-
day was day of satisfaction on board
the new yacht champion, Constitution
of resignation on the Columbia and OF
contemplation but still hopefulness on
the Boston yacht Independence, so badly
defeated in Saturdays race. On shore
however, everyone discussed the race
from all sides, but principally with ref
erence to the unexpected showing Of the
Independence. 1t seemed to be the gen.
eral opinion among those yachtsmen
who watched the race closely that the
sluggishness Of the Crownnshield boat
was cue, to an extent, to the uncertainty
of the wind some little time after the
start. and that the true worth of the
yacht was not brought out.
On board the Boston boat not man

being attributed solely to hard luck
Said one Of those who was on board
during the race:
I'VE know that the independence can
sail and sail fast, for we have seen her
do 1t, and we believe that Saturdays ill
luck attended her from the very start"
Captain Half is quoted as expressing
similar views to Mr.. Lawson when the
latter came aboard Saturday night after
the race, and last night all hands on the
Boston boat were looking forward
eagerly and confidently to today's con-
test. when over a triangular course the
Independence is expected to show her
great reaching qualities, providing. OF
course. there is any kind of breeze.

sive action of the New York Yacht club
will find few supporters in London, nor
will there be any disappointment at the
