Boxing and Wrestling Notes.

Having seen Young Corbett perform twice
against inferior antagonists, the Philadel-
phia sports are predicting that Terry Nc
Govern will regain his lost laurels when he
next meets the Denver boy.
At the Lenox Athletic Club, Boston, Mon
day night Jimmy Stone of New York
ceived the decision over Peter Brooks of
Lawrence. The bout was one of six rounds,
and exceedingly fast. Stone was by far the
cleverer, and easily outpointed his oppo-
nent.
Dial Hawkins of California, who is now
east, says that he would like to meet Kid
Mcfarland in a six-round bout at Phila-
delphia before he sails for England
Eddie Hanlon, the conqueror of Kid Nc
Fadden. and Harry Forbes of Chicago have
signed articles to box twenty rounds at
San Francisco the latter part of next
month.
Eddie Cain, sparring partner for Terry
McGovern and lightweight fighter of Brook
Ign, was arrested early yesterday morning
at Clinton street and Atlantic avenue,
Brooklyn, for trying to punch a street car
conductor and offering to knock out a po-
liceman. In the Butler street court yester-
day morning sentence was suspended.
Another foreign wrestler has arrived in
this country in search of laurels on the
mat The newcomer is Tom McInerney, the
Irish champion. McInerney reached New
York from Dublin a few days ago and went
direct to Buffalo. Walter Kelly will have
charge of McInerney's affairs. Asked as to
his plans, McInerney said: "Of course, the
object of my trip here is to meet your best

Francisco, and after three hours and TWEEN
ty-five minutes of wrestling the referee

pared to meet Mcleod again, or l will
tackle Tom Jenkins.
Frank Richheimer, manager of Leo Par
dello, who is at Kernans this week, has re-
ceived an offer from a western promoter
to take the italian champion to the Pacific
coast next spring and match him against
some of the clever middle-weight catch-as-
catch-can wrestlers now at San Francisco.
Richheimer has accepted. Pardello has
enough engagements on hand to keep him
busy for several weeks.
Hart is the one light heavy weight who
has not been tried out for championship
honors. He was touted as wonder about
a year ago, and has long record of knock
outs. He has fought men like Joe Choyn-
ski. Kid Carter, Tommy West and others.
and has shown himself to be hard hitter
and full of grit. Up to the present time he
has met neither Gardner nor Root, and the
bout with Root should show pretty near
where Hart stands in the fighting ranks.
Any number of efforts have been made be-
fore to bring Root and Hart together, but
they have always failed.
Jim Corbett has declined a chance to
fight George Gardner for large purse. l
am not surprised that he has done So,
says Malachi Hogan, but am sure that he
cast no reflections on Gardeners fighting

AN ACTOR-JOCKEY.
Meade Gave Up Stage for the Ponies
and Will Get Big Salary.

1t is a long leap from being an actor at
a small salary to being jockey with a good
chance of earning s12. 900 a year; but Tom
my Meade has taken 1t. The clever light
weight rider will sign with John A. Drake,
the wealthy Chicago horseman, for next
season at, it is said, $1,000 for first call on
his services.
Meade had scarcely reached the long
trousers age before he was earning his liv-
ing singer in Primrose & Vests min
strels. He had a sweet child's voice and
soon became very popular. One-night
stands and a poor salary speedily satisfied
his appetite for stage fame, so he tried
being Jockey.
After various vicissitudes as a stable boy
he became successful rider at New Or
leans last winter, and won a large number
of races.
Meade is now under contract % Sam
Hildreth. When his term of service is end
ed, at the close of the year, he will sign
contract to ride for Mr.. Drake. lie will go
to Nashville in a few days to try out some
of Hildreths yearlings. He can ride at lGO
pounds.

A date has been named for the special
meeting of the United States Golf Associa-
ton, made obligatory by the appointment of
committee at the last annual meeting to
consider certain changes in the constitution
and to report al time and place to be
named by the executive committee. The
meeting will be held on the evening of No
vember Is. The business to be done as
far as the future of the U. s. G. A. is con-
cerned, hinges on the consideration of but
one clause in the constitution. 1t is wheth-
er all the clubs in membership should be
placed on a voting and equal basis. with
similar annual dues, or whether the present
distinction should be preserved between as
sociate clubs that vote and pay 800 year
and allied clubs that do not vote and that
pay SO year dues.

The Free Field.

new. feature of the fall meeting will be
the free field" 1t has been decided to
throw open the old 50-cent Enclosure, and
anybody can go in there and view the races
from that distance free of charge. Last
spring there was no return worth speaking
of from the J0-cent field, and President
Rowland has decided to get in line with the
metropolitan tracks and throw it open as
free field. The idea is a good one. as it
takes away the crowd of loungers who gen.
orally collect around the entrance or break
down the fences trying to get a view of
the ponies.
These track followers are determined to
see the races. and when they haven't the
money it narrows down to a case of crawl
ing under or over the fences to crafty their
desires. This fall these gentry will be ac
commodated with a good stand and as
phalt walks. and the crowd on the opening
day will undoubtedly be given a treat in
the way of a unique picture in looking over
the free field.

Ter arrived and on Tuesday PA" Bradleys
string was led into the Enclosure. Ii is eX-
pected that almost deluge of horses will
reach the track tomorrow, as the Belmont,
Featherstone. Healey, Shields. Walden, Lo-
tus. Arkell and Huston stables are due TO
arrive.
This morning ten horses of the Seagram
stable arrived at the track and were as
signed quarters Mr.. Seagram is a prom
inent Canadian turfman, and he should lend
additional interest TO the fall meeting, as he
has never had his string at Benning before.
There are several good runners In his
bunch, and the work out OF his horses for
the rest of the week Will be watched with
interest.
To the spectators at the track yesterday
Grey Friar was the center of attraction
among the horses. This speedy one has
doubtless been brought here for the win
ter and it is doubtful whether he will
start at the fall meeting at all. on account
of the penalties he has picked up through
his victories the metropolitan tracks.
The star of the summer season, cid Adj
vance Guard, will assuredly be here. as the

MANYHORSES ARRIVING

A continuation of the recent fine weather
for the next three weeks will undoubtedly
afford the Washington Jockey Club a
chance to give one of the most successful
fan meetings since it's Incorporation. Every
thing is in the best order for the opening
day next Monday, and Superintendent
Strahan and his energetic assistants are
now going over the grounds looking after
the details that need attention on all large
tracks. Owners and trainers are coming
into the city daily, and thei" wonder is
great after viewing the improvements made
at Benning during the summer. After COM
pleting the grand stand last fall the Ben
ming track had an imposing appearance,
but in comparison with the course of today
it would be comparing a kitchen to par
Tor. Every little detail has been attended
to, and through the lavish expenditure of
money and the most energetic worn the
Benning track stands today an equal
footing with the best in the country.
President Rowland and Seer atar? Dan
gerfield paid a visit of inspection to the
track yesterday morning and wen. over all
the improvements. Superint tend ant Stra-
han acted guide. and there was not
spot overlooked. After the Inspection Pres
ident Rowland was enthusiastic over the
excellent condition of the Benning course,
and the veteran superintendent came in for
a great amount of praise.

The Renovated Track.

During the afternoon the crowd of Wis
itors was large, and the new buildings and
particularly the new track came in for a
great deal of praise. No more will the pa
pers tell of Benning's sandy track and thus
account for in-and-out racing. All the old
ground has been torn out. and for the first
week many surprises should be forthcom-
ing account of the new conditions. 1t
seems strange to hear horse owners COM
plain of Benning track being too hard, but
that is exactly what several have said al
ready. 1t is hardly eXaggeraton to say
that it might rain hard for week. and at
the end of that time the new track would
not be in bad condition the old one
after a days rainfall. AS a subStantiation
of this assertion it can be stated that last
week, four hours after the hard downpour
of rain, Superintendent Strahan had the
harrows on the track, and it was put in
strictly first-class condition inside of half
an hour.
The new track will be a disappointment
to some horse owners, and one in particular
has already shaken the dust of Washington
from his feet and returned home. This was
the owner of Braflim, a fairly good horse,
whose liking for a soft track has become
part of the racing history of the country.
Brahms owner has been keeping his horse
out of the running all summer saving him
for the fall meeting at Benning, but after
an inspection of the new course he shook
his head mournfully and said this place
would see him no more.
Several of the horse owners talked to
predict that PA" Daily will be another
man to suffer as a result of the hard track.
Days horses have always been a feature
of the Benning meetings and their success
has been attributed to a better acquaint
ance with the going than the other con-
tenders. Be that as it may. the veteran
DAILY will be on hand with his string. and
it will take many defeats to drive away
the stable following, who will never forget
the many long shots he has put across the
board during past meetings.

II you wish to transplant trees this

such packages as his customers like if
he expects to make fruit growing a
financial success.
The freight, carriage and package on
poorly packed fruit, or that which is
OF poor quality, cost as much as in
the case of well packed fruit and that
of good Quality. The proceeds are
more on the latter, hence the profit is
greater.
