TAKEN
ON THE REPORT
Horsemen Will Present PROPOSE.
ton to Fair People.
To BUILD TRACK
WILL THEN LEASE IT FROM D. A.
& M. SOCIETY.

A number of the leading horsemen
cOngregated last evening to hear and
discuss the report of the committee
appointed the previous week to find out
from the fair association just what
they intended to do regarding the con-
structiOn of a mile race course. This
committee stated that the fair people
seemed inclined to act fairly toward
the horsemen and requested the latter
to make them some proposition looking
toward the construction of the track
by the hOrSemen and the managing of
the same after it was built. a
With this idea in view, a PROPOSE
ton was drawn up as outlined in yes
terday's Herald, to be submitted to the
directors of the d. A & NJ. society
The only provision added to those al
ready published was that the hOrsemen
be allowed to construct a club house
for their use within the fair grounds
Those at the meeting were of the opin-
ion that such place would tend to
increase interest in the racing by
making the club house a central place
Of attraction to all lovers Of good
horses.
The idea of forming an association
also met with the approval of all those
present. This is the only way the
racing can be successfully managed
and enough interested parties have al
ready agreed to put up the necessary
funds to form such an association if the
fair people make the horsemen the
concessions they ask for.
The hOrsemen also want all the i'm
provements asked for to be made by
the 1st of June, and in turn the horse
men will agree to have the track built
and carry out their end of the agree
ment by that time. This matter is
deemed of the utmost Importance, as
Decoration day is one of the best days
of the year for a successful race meet.
The committee, which consists of H
w. Brown, J. c. Leary, w. E. Stone,
DR.. Shores, DR.. Stewart and James
Devine. was requested to report at once
to another meeting of hOrsemen what
ever action the directors of the D. A.
& NJ. society might take. If the So
ciety acts favOrably on the PROPOSE
ton, action will at once be taken by
horsemen towards the formation of an
association to conduct the racing.

Daily Was a Ringer.

Stories Of pugilistic ringers come to
hand occasionally, and the latest is
from Baltimore. Last Monday night
Joe Tipman, the man who jumped into
prominence by knocking Terry Meow
ern down in a stage bout, and later
proved to be of more account than
expected by defeating Tommy Feltz.
was the ringers victim. Tipman was
matched to fight Alexander Dunsheath
Of New York. The alleged Dunsheath
proved to be a hummer in Tipman's
class. He disposed of the Baltimore
wonder in short order much to the sur
prise Of the pugilist and all of his
friends. When he had received the
winners end Of the purse and was pre-
pairing to hurry back to New York.
'Dunsheath" sent the following tele-
gram: won my fight. Will be home

FITz CAN HAVE CHANCE.
Malachy Hogan Says Jeffries viii
Side-track Sharlzev If Necessary.

Malachy Hogan Says Jefries Will
Side-track Sharkey if Necessary.
Malachy Hogan says Fitzsimmons
can have the match with Jeff1ies If he
so desires. Here is what he says:
1t has been agreed that, should FitZ-
simmons decide TO fight. Sharkey is 20
step aside in favor Of the Cornishman.
All Of this would seem to be a conces-
sion in favor of FitZsimmons. Natur-
urally, Fitz is holding out for the best
Inducements that he can get, and sew
eral personal kilograms received BY
Chicago people point toward Fitzsim-
mons determination to re-enter the
ring if he can get what he wants. OF
course Fitz is looking out for the finan-
cial end and if a match is made it
probably viii be on much more liberal
terms than F'itzsimmOns gave Jeffries
when the latter won the championship.
up to date Jeffries has the better of
the argument. Usually a champion is
content to hold his title without run
ming after other men for fights. If
FitzsimmOns is really anxious to regain
lost laurels he probably would not hes
itate TO hunt JeffrieS and would even
make a match in a saloon If neces-
sary. That Fitz is more anxious about
the splitting of the purse and his par
ticular end of the affair from a money
point has already been shown by his
replies.
'JeffTies is not under obligations to
seek a fight with Fitzsimmons. He has
more to lose, pugilistically. than he has
to gain. The champion is entitled to
credit because Of his Willingness to
fight, a willingness that has been char
acteristic of Jeffries ever since ne won
the championship.
Personally, 1 have not thought that
Fitzsimmons would again consent to
enter the ring. He is really too old to
fight. At the same time his perform
ance of defeating Sharkey and Rubin
in SO short order before the Horton law
expired is always before the follower
of the game. Jeffries and FitZsimmons
undoubtedly would be the biggest
drawing card that could be arranged
in the country.
For Fitz continually to refer to the
fact that he offered to fight Jeffries a
few days before the boxing game was
closed in New York is nothing to his
credit Jeffries could not be expected
TO fight on ten hours notice. That part
of the championship discussion is a
matter of history. If Fitz is ready to
re-enter the ring he should fight as he
has always done, for what seems to be
a reasonable purse. and let it go at
that. In my opinion Jeffries is not un-
der obligation TO do what no other
champion has ever done"

gunboat Machias, which was at Colon

ing in this city of the landing of the
marines to protect the American inter

Our blue jackets went ashore on

American property from the rabble
which swarmed into the city after its
capture by the rebels. At no time were
our men fired upon, and all they did
was to make a few arrests

WAS A PROFESSIONAL.
x-Rays Thrown Upon the EIigi-
biIity of Tackle Cults of Cham
piOn Harvard Team.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. n.-Oliver F.
Cults, right tackle Of the Harvard foot
ball team of 1901, whose athletic stand
ing was the subject of exhaustive in
quiry before the game at Yale last No
vember, is declared to be a professional
in a statement made public today by
Professor Ira Hollis of the Harvard
athletic committee. Evidence was pro-
duced that while teaching at Haver-
ford, Cults gave private boxing lessons
for pay.
The matter was thoroughly discussed
by the committee. Cuts admitted the
facts, and the committee decided they
much change their decision made be-
fore the Yale game that, Cuts was a
pure amateur, and it was also decided
to explain the case to the college and
to send copies of the explanation to
all the colleges and universities which
Harvard played, as the best means of
PREPARATION. 1t is thought that, com
ms at this time. the matter Will serve
tC further the idea, already popular at
Harvard, Of having an intercollegiate
board of arbitration which shall settle
ali such cases in the. future
In his statement Professor Hollis re-
views the whole investigation of Cults
standing, and says
ne was 9SCiaE6Q eligible upon I0G
assurance of the principal of the school
and his own statement that he had
never received any payment whatever
for instruction in physical exercise, or
for coaching a school boy team. Mr..
Cults, having been paid for giving
boxing, was clearly ineligible.
1T is to be regretted that this infor-
nation did not reach Harvard earlier.
Whether a change in the football team
would have affected the result or not
makes no difference, the playing Of a
man not properly eligible must neces-
sarily detract from the satisfaction Of
our victories"
Cults, in his statement, says:
While teaching in a prepare tory
school I gave lessons in boxing and
fencing to boy students. and received
pay. When my eligibility was chal-
lenged 1 never once thought of these
private lessons, and did not recall them
until they were brought to my atten-
ton, as I had not considered them Of
any Importance"

CLOSE THIS WEEK.
Duck Season Has Been a Successful
One

Duck Season Has Been a Successful
One.
State Game Warden Sharp stated
yesterday that the duck season would
close next Wednesday. Many of the
hunters will take their last trip to the
various hunting grounds today for
farewell shot at the feathered game.
The past season has been one of the
most successful in this state for
number of years. Ducks have been
very plentiful and did not seem 10 di-
minish near the end of the season as
they have in past years. A great vail
was set up by the hunters at the be-
ginning of the season on account Of ali
the good shooting grounds being con-
trOlled by the numerous. duck clubs
that sprang into existence. These we're
parOlled for a few days and had the
effect of keeping a few hunters from
tTespassing. but as a rule the average
shooter paid no attention to the no
tees that no shooting was allowed. IS
the season progressed the unattached
hunters went where they pleased, and
in all probability will do so again next
year.

Lincoln, Neb.. Jan. 1.-THE supreme
court has handed down an opinion up
holding the will of William c. Bissel,
who died four years ago, aged so, Ieav-
ing the bulk of his estate of SOS, 900 as

ICE ACE TO COME AGAIN.
It Will Not Happen For a Number Of
Years.

New York, Jan.11.-Sir Robert Ball,
professor of astronomy and geometry
at the University of Cambridge, Eng
land. delivered a lecture at Columbia
university yesterday on "The Cause Of
an Ice Age"
He explained that the ice age was due
to the influence of the planets Venus
and Jupiter on the course of the earth's
revolution around the sun, and the
change Of orbit from a circle to an
elHpse. He said also that there would
be another ice age when Venus, Jupiter
and the earth were in a certain posi-
tion regarding one another.
This would not happen for several
thousands years.
Sir Robert said that it was his last
ad lreSS in America.

Young COrbett" is acquiring that
feature known in pUgilism as a tin

fin with two good ears is counted ex-
tremeiy lucky. 1t is IN affection to
which wrestlers and all other athletes
are liable, as it is caused BY the burst
ing Of a blood vessel IN the ear. A
smart blow on that member, or the
rubbing of it roughly against mat
may do the work. After the Hood YES
