The triumph was short-lived, how
ever, as in the next race between Lord
Derby and Louise Jefferson it was cut
down to 2:05A. Lord Derby was driven
by her owner, G X c.. Billings As
soon as the word was given Lord Derby
went to the front and got to the quar-
ter in :321z, which gave no promise Of
a notwithstanding performance, but the
next quarter was faster and he shot by
the half in 1:031a and came home like
a steam engine in 2:052, which beat his
own professional record of 2:G61z.

the sporting world and could. without
effort, easily dispose of all the pugs
that have been around Salt Lake in the
past year in one ring
There are some complaints on the
part of the local ring followers of the
scale of prices charged to see the bout.
The general admission tickets, which
give a seat at the bicycle races, are no
higher than the prices charged to see
the affairs pulled off in Ogden under
the name of fights and but little higher
than the price paid by the local sports
to see the raw fakes, with few eXcep-
tons. pulled off in this city the past
year under the guise of square contests
In any other town in the country the
admission price to see these two men
would be considerably higher than it is
here, and it will probably be long
time before such a match is pulled off
in this city again,

the bicycle track has been converted

the seats usually occupied by people

more than 1000. The men will fight

Of the battle. The arrangements are

The selection of Harry Hynds of
Cheyenne as referee has met with
universal approval. There is not a
sporting man in this country who is
more popular than Hynds. He is not
ed for his squareness, and his pres

the battle will be on the level.
Hynds has a thorough knowledge Of
the game of fisticuffs. He has ap-
peared in the ring on many occasions

AS he is a promoter of the contest and
has hopes of giving a heavyweight

contest for the championship of the
world at the saucer track. They are
George Gardner of Lowell, Mass, and
Jack Root of Chicago. Root has heI1

and Gardner will make a supreme at
tempt to wrest his laurels from him
They will box twenty rounds for a
decision. This will be their second
meeting. Last January Root won from
Gardner on a foul. The battle was
held in Mechanics pavilion. San Fran
cisco, and was witnessed by 10 600 peo-
pie. While it lasted it was one of the
best of its kind ever brought off in
the western city. Root suffered from
a broken hand and did not do him
self full justice. The same might be
said for Gardner. a few days before
the big battle he was butted in the eye
by his sparring partner, Dave Barry
1t was accidental. but the impact cut
a deep cash over Gardeners eye. The
cut did not heal, and in the very first
round Root opened the cash and the
blood flowed profusely. It blinded
NTdEuHeF anu fIhDts Seeing MS aGNant-
age, played for the cash and kept the
blood flowing continually Gardner
fought on and took his punishment like
a Trojan. He returned Roots blows,
but could not land effectively by reason
of his poor Judgment of distance. Root
rould not land a decisive blow with
his right hand, as IL was out of shape,
and he was compelled to use the left
throughout the contest. In the
seventh round Gardner accidentally
struck Root low and the latter was
awarded the fight on a foul.
Since the memorable battle Gardner
has clamored for a return match.
After many months of waiting he Sc
cured Il, and Immediately began prep
arations for the contest. Root was not
idle. He went into training three
weeks ago. and today is in perfect con-
dition. His hands are in splendid
shape and his speed is even better than
before. He trained in Salt Lake City
in order to be accustomed to the high
altitude. He spared daily with his
training mate. Jack Steiner. and local

The field numbered sixteen. Athel,
on the strength of a very fast trial,
was favorite for the race, with White
chapel second choice. The western filly,
Judith Campbell, Aceful and Maxnice,
an added starter, were all well played.
Judith Campbell, followed by SkilIfuI
and AtheI, cut out the running, with
the others two lengths away This
was the order to the stretch, where
Judith Campbell fell back beaten, and

Unlimited Gold in searsburg.

A special despatch to the state press
from Wilmington, Monday, said: For
the last year there has been much talk
of gold in the Deerfeld valley in
Southern Vermont and some gold has
been found causing considerable ex-
citement for the last two months. j.
X. Batchelder of Arlington, acting on
the judgment of an old miner has been
opening mine at Searsburg, six miles
north of this place and during the last
two days has found free gold. 1t is a
quartz mine carrying great quantities
of pyrites, arsenic and iron with free
gold and silver. There are seven head
ings and the one being worked has
been opened for 60 feet. In making
the cut free gold was struck and dur
ing the last three days in unlimited
quantities, An old miner at the mine
today said it by far surpasses anything
found East and rivals the Comstock
Lode, There is much excitement in
this section and there is no mistake
about the find as gold can be seen in
the rock in large quantities with the
naked eye. A mill will be erected soon
to treat the ore.
