Both in the Hlmnlayas and in the
Andes butterflies have been found at
heights ranging up to 10000 feet, and
in the Alps they are quite common at
5000 feet. The very highest elevation
so far observed is 1929 feet, where
they were found by n. Bonpland on
the slopes Of Chimborazo. Sir ]. d.

Of the HimalayHs at about the same

SULLIVEN-ZEIGLER NEXT.
Both Promise To Make The Bout
Friday Night Warm One.

Both Promise To Make The Bout
Friday Night n Warm One.
Now that the Feltz-Daley bout is a
thing of the past, the patrons of box
ing are looking forward with interest
and pleasant anticipations to the 'go"
between Owen H. Zeigler, who calls
himself a Savannahian, and Twin Sui
livan of Boston. These men are
matched to go twenty-five rounds,
barring accidents in the shape of a
Knockout, Friday night.
They will start training tomorrow,
but as both are in good shape, be-
cause of previous work and contests,
it will take but little work and a
short tine to put them in condition
for the mill. Sullivan probably will
train in Savannah, with the assist
ance of Feltz as a sparring partner,
while Zeigler will work at Thunder
bolt and be helped to get in shape by
Andy Daley.
Zeigler's record is we'll known to
Savannahians and when it is said that
Owen has been improved wonderfully
while on his recent trip, that he is in
pretty good trim, as he is, and is de-
termined to get in better, the followers
of the game will understand that he
is out to win, and whether he does or
rot, will make it decidedly interesting
for his opponent,
Sullivan is less known here, but new
ertheless has an excellent record.
Among the men he has met are Jim
Judge, whom he beat in Is rounds;
Patsey Sweeney whom he defeated
twice in 10 rounds each time; Eddie
Connolly, with whom he has one draw,
though he lost to him on foul in a
second fight, and Charlie O'Rourke to
whom he also lost one fight on a foul
and with whom he afterward fought a
15-rolthd draw. With the exception Of
these draws and the two bouts lost
because of fouls, he has won every
bout he has taken part in. He expects
to add Zeigler's scalp to his belt.
The work of training with Sullivan
and Zeigler will help get Feltz and
Daley in shape for their Lext bout,
which will take place July 4. Tommy
will get down to his fighting weight FOR
this bout, and is confident that he il
turn the cards on his late victor. Daley
thinks otherwise. He stated yesterday
that he had been suffering with rheu-
matism in his right shoulder, which
prevented his using the right arm as
freely in the last bout as he is accus-
toned to. Had this not been the case
he thinks that he would have scored
a Knockout instead Of merely getting
tho decision.

When half the distance of the race had
been completed Heno and Otis still held
commanding lead and showed no
signs of firing. pullman seemed to
think the time had come for him to
make his run with Heno. 1t was a
poor piece of jockeyship. Heno, when
let down, drew away from Otis and
went round the far turn. increasing his
lead until fully three lengths in ad-
vance. AS they rushed round the last
turn into the straight run for home,
Eeno still had first place, but it was
costing him an effort. With a fur
long still to run, Lyme made his move
on Wyeth. He set the colt down and
the son of Wadsworth and Fonsie came
away past the leaders with little effort,
passing under the wire a comfortable
winner by two lengths. Summary:

Yet From Candidates.
Columbia. s. c, June 21.-The first
week of the campaign for the United
States Senate, congressman and state
officers. has not been specially inter-
esting. The senatorial candidates par
ticularly, seem to find it difficult to
strike the old time stump speaking
gait, and the audiences which have
been accustomed so long to be enter
tanned with n lively show, do not APP
preciate these quiet performances.
With the state candidates Col. Till
man has added a little spice by his
attack upon Congressman Talbert, who
is running for Governor. Talbert so far
has made no rejoinder, but he will be
obliged to respond in time. Tillman is
rubbing It in that for % years Tai
bert has held remunerative public Of
fees and is giving up a seat in Con-
gress to run for Governor. Talbert,
who used to. be an alliance lecturer, is
attempting to stir up the old feeling
among the farmers, but without much
evidence OF success. So far as the de-
monstrations of the small audiences
go, d. C. Hayward is having the best
of the arguments for Governor.
