BURGLARS REMOVE STOVE.
Considerable Action to Prevent Setting
Postoffice on Fire.

NEW YORK, March "A band of safe
blowers visited Pelham Manor early yes
terday and blew open the safe of the
postoffice with dynamite. The safe con-
tanned $4,000 in money and stamps, repre-
senting the receipts for the month, but
the thieves did not get anything.
The explosion blew off only the outside
door and made such noise that the men
fed without waiting TO drill holes for a
second charge. The thieves were more
considerable than the average burglars. In
order to avoid setting fire to the building
they picked up redhot stove, which was
near the safe, and carried il out. 1t was
found with the fire still In IL in the mid
die of the road this morning by Post
master George II. Kerr when le came TO
open the Office.
The explosion blew out the glass IN the
windows and doors and Wicked the build

THE BOXERS.

Bob Fitzsimmons, who refereed the Me
Govern Sullivan bout at Louisville, de-
MED that the chief of police of that city
had anything to do with stopping the
fight and that he counted Sullivan out
fairly. Fitz is bit ratified because his
decision is being questioned, and it is
hardly likely that the lanky boxer will
act as referee at any more fights.
Reports are already coming from the
Fitzsimmons training camp of accidents
happening to the lanky boxer. The latest
is that Bob has been bitten through the
hand by big setter dog. When Fitz was
training for Jeffries and Rubin there
were all kinds of reports about his being
hurt, but he always came into the ring
in good shape. Red Robin" has evident
ly thought the sore-arm story played out,
and his press agents are digging for new
sensations.
What fools the New York sports were
to kill boxing they now perceive when
they compare the forty. fifty and even
sixty thousand dollar houses their big
boxing bouts used to draw there and at
Coney Island with the less than $4,000
McGovern and Sullivan attracted in Louis
vile. This was divided-S4,S0 800 to the
Southern Athletic Club. s4.0S0 to Mccoy
ern. $3.50 to Sullivan and $500 to Bob
Fitzsimmons for refereeing. Still these
figures are very attractive, and Tom Shar-
key. who has a clouded reputation, is
anxious to meet the winner Of the Joe
Choynski-Wild Bill Hanrahan bout. which
will take place at the Buckingham The
atre in Louisville a week from tomorrow

partment and Major Taylor. in whose

set of dynamos will be supplied The in
side OF the statue is also to be illuminat-
cd by electricity
1t was on February Is that Major Gen.
eral Brooke. commanding the Department
of the East. appointed a board of officers
to meet at Fort Wood examine into the
condition of the statue and recommend
the improvements and repairs necessary
The board consisted of Major Asher c.
Taylor, Capt. Leroy S. Lyons, and Second
Lieutenant S. B. West.
The committee met day before yester-
day and at once asked that an electrician
be appointed to care for the light till they
could make their report. But the SUPERB
;ntendent of the Lighthouse Department
Informed Major Taylor that he had been
ordered to remove all the electric light
apparatus and was going to do it. Major
Taylor refused to allow him to do so. aud
asked General Brooke to communicate
with Washington. He wanted the plant
left till the War Department could get
the new light in shape. Major Taylor said
he hoped 1t would be done. as it would
take the War Department some time to
get its dynamos in working order and
there would be no light in the meantime.

AMONG THE ATHLETES

"Bill" Brown. the University of Penn
sylvania third baseman for the last three
years. was out for the first time yester-
day afternoon. Dale. half-back on the
Varsity eleven, also reported. Dale was
an infielder on the Gettysburg team two
years.
Now that Jimmy Michael has quit the
board track for the horse end of it, the
followers of the silent steed seem to be
at a loss to find some one to succeed the
Midget Tom Eek, who has handled
nearly every cycliSt of prominence under
the sun, asserts that while Michael was
wonder in his day, there is another
''phenom' coming to the front in Benny
Munroe. who. while he is not much heay-
Ter than Michael. will soon make the So
called champions ride like the wind to re-
tain their titles. This is very natural in
any line of sport, inasmuch as there never
was a champion who did not some day
meet his master.
1t was the original intention of the man
agement of the six-day go-as-yo u-please
race which begins March 10 at PhiladeI-
phia to conduct the affair upon the team
or relay style. but. after going over the
ground carefully and watching the effect
of the contest just closed in New York, IL
has been decided to change back 20 the
old style of race. which has been SO sue
cessful. The great dissatisfaction among
the peds in the Madison Square contest
arose from one walker accusing his mate
of not doing his share of the work, and
many bitter quarrels resulted. A careful
of all the leading pedestrians
plainly shows that the men prefer to
work alone. as the strain is not h.lf as
severe. as all athletes find it impossible
to get back on the track after a short
rest when their muscles start to stifen

EVENTS IN THE WORLD or SPORT
GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

Since The Commoner. by Hanover Mar
garine. was purchased last season, for
$4,000. by Gen. ". II. Jackson. proprie
lures have been made for the horse. but
the latest offer OF $50. eco is the best re-
ceived The name of the man could not
be learned, but it Is presumed he is A. q.
Spreckles, CT San Francisco. General
Jackson has declined to part with the
sire of such wo-year-olds OF last season
as DOyle's COmmoner Bellies Commoner,
Talpa. Attelle, and many others.
According to Trainer Wishard, the Ger
man Government each year buys certain
number of brood mares and stalIicns in
England or France and ships them to
Germany. The Imperial Government will
pay any price for them, often as high as
$4,000. but will sell them to the German
breeders at the highest bidders figures.
Il know of one brood mare for which the
German Government paid so. 600, and sold
at auction to German breeder for $500.
One stipulation is made-that the horse
and the get therefrom must remain in
Germany for a certain number Of years.
Work like that is doing whole lot for
the thoroughbred in Germany"
There is again rumor that William
K. Vanderbilt will make his appearance
on the American turf this year. This
tine 1t Is said that he will enter horses
at the coming spring meeting of the New
Memphis Jockey Club. 1t was generally
believed that Mr.. Vanderbilt would walt
for the spring meeting of the Coney Is
land Jockey Club. of which he is presi-
dent. before beginning the campaign. but
his decision to race at Memphis Is said
to have been prompted by a desire to
have his horses tried out early. T. C.
Mcdowell 1t is generally believed. will
train for him. II so. there will be much
interest manifested, for he Is one Of the
best trainers in the country. The advent
of Mr.. Vanderbilt to the turf will prob
ably increase the rivalry that already
exists among other rich owners. when
candidates for the rich prizes of the East
ern racing world.
The great exodus of American jockeys
to Europe this season leaves dearth OF
first-class riders in this country. Twenty
four of our best knights Of the pgskin
have found employment on the turf
abroad. This leaves all the American
turfmen, with one or two exceptions, at
the mercy of second-class and inexperi-
enced riders. This is rather bold state
ment in the face of the many stories |
from England's shores that neither Ameri-
can jockeys nor their methods were want |
ed by the English stewards. 1t seems, |
however, that something must be doing on |
the other side, as our Yankee riders are !
Rocking there IN vast numbers and with /
positive assurances of good mounts.
