O'Brien had everything his own way He played havoc with Mckeevers ribs and wind, occasionally shooting his left into the face and drawing blood from Macs nose. McKeever rallied a little in the fifth round when he jolted O'Brien on the jaw and fol lowed it up with a stiff punch on the body. With the exception of the semi-wind-up between Sammy Smith and George Decker in which the for mer had a shade the better of it. the preliminaries did not amount to much.
 Middletown, April 2.--A large dele gation of sports was disappointed at the Middletown A. c. last night by the nonappearance of Andy Daly, who was to fight a 20 round bout with Austin Rice. Daly was in town, but refused to go without a $200 guaran- tee regardless of results. This the management refused Tn the prelim- mary Kid Maher of Hartford defeate0 Young Miller of Portland. The bout was twelve rounds at 12S pounds.
 Kid Mccoy returned from Paris yesterday after an absence of several months. He was at the place on Broadway, New York, still being con- ducted under his name, for few mo- ments only.
 McCoy's trip abroad seemed to have benefited him in a great many ways. He is looking better than he ever looked in his life, weighs more than ever before and ill contest with any one of the heavyweights, except lief fries, he would not be at a disadvan- tage as far as weight is concerned Stripped for action, Mccoy would probably weigh 18O pounds, which is about twelve pounds heavier than his previous fighting weight. Iii his street costume he weighs 190.
 Mccoy declared the prospects fol pugilists bettering themselves in if nancial way in England were never i better than at present. He said:
 Several matches have been made and I am told that Frank Erne, Terry McGovern, Joe Walcott and seyera others are to be seen in contests whicl seem to be especially framed for them l believe Fitzsimmons and Jeffrie. could get nice bit of money owe there, but not as much as they nigh get here.
 "Fitzsimmons and I. if we can com, to terms. can take down 8 purse O l S15OOO. Even Sharkey Is wanted over there, because the English peopl recognize in him a sturdy, homes fighter they have heard q great dea about.
 aOver there they don't want to talk a great deal of stock in Young Cor
 bett. notwithstanding that he is tn featherweight champion. They woul
 rather see McGoyern in a bout wit
 one of their own ,nen-Pedlar Palme
 preferred.
 Strange as it may seem. though
 the fight which would draw the mos
 money in England just now, would b
 one between two American fighter
 of recognized ability and about tn
 same status.
 "They imagine that James I. Corbe1
 could beat Jeffries in limited roun contest, or at least get the decisio over him, but they believe that Je fries is so much of a glutton for pun .1 ishment that he could beat any of | . in a fight to a finish. However, the
 would stand for him in fight wit ) any good man, and be glad to hay him at that"

BASE BALL.
The Two Factions in the National
 League Not United.

League N0L CulIGus
 Manager Harrington received a tele- gram at noon to-day accepting the terms offered for a game between the Boston Americans and the Waterbury, team. 1t will be played on Tuesday, April 15. This will be the first game of the season and should attract Dis crowd, as there will be several well known faces on the Bostons. First and foremost will be George Lachance of this city, who is playing first base for the American league team of bos- ton. Then there will be Parent and Ferris, two more Connecticut leaglers, and all the rest of the bunch of that fast aggregation of players. This will give the fans also a line on some of the local players. Luskey will be here on Saturday night, and so will the ma jority of the rest of the players, and the BoStons will find themselves up against a pretty warm lot of players.
 It is very possible that within two months the league games in this city will be played on new grounds. 1t IS understood that the old grounds are soon to be used for some other purpose and Manager Harrington is making ar- engagements for grounds in some other part of the city. The North End ha; been looked over and if everything is satisfactory there will be new ball field laid out near Forest park. It may be, however, that the season will find the old grounds still the only avail able place. Down on the Riverside | grounds would be a good place. and if everything can be fixed with the own i CTS those grounds may be fenced in, q suitable grand stand erected and the season played out there. It is pretty certain that the West End grounds will not be used for base ball park after this season, and Manager Harrington has been very busy for the past few days looking over various places in the city. The Traction Go has offered tC help him out in the matter. and wha' will be the outcome it is hard now l. say.

Grant Eby and Charles Weston last night took up the second installment of@ their 60O-point continuous pool match at the Montauk academy in Brooklyn. The score from Monday night was POI to 120 in Eby's favor, and the latter started out at the same swift pace last night as he had set in Monday night. His accuracy was ad- mirable and whether the angle was hard or easy he sent the balls scooting to the holes. He led off with a run of B, and at the end of the third frame had pocketed g balls to Weston's 13. He was just 100 ahead on the total for the two nights. Weston, who is unex- celled on combinations, made a brace of screaniers, one with one-cusnion bank of the cue ball and the other after the cue ball had hit two cushions before striking an object ball. But he was cratic and Eby, whose work was clean and artistic. continued to pocket majority of the balls. Eby completed his first hundred in the twelfth frame, his position play being fine and at the finish of the frame the score for two nights was: Eby, 311; Weston, 1S9. The latter's total for the night was 60 to Eby's no. Weston made still another of his inimitable. patent-applied-fo | back-action, two-cushion combinations in the fourteenth frame. Then he missed an easy one and Eby, in turn did likewise. This frame contained more misses than any preceding one Weston gained materially in the second | hundred. bracing up and out-playins Eby in six straight frames Eby wor l in the twenty seventh frame. hayins improved his lead by fourteen balls il the nfeht Ehv's total for two nights 4O8; Weston, 313.

Philadelphia, April 2.-With the ex- ception of the first round Jack O'Brien had great deal the better of Charley McKeever in all the rounds in their wind-up at Industrial hall last night. The first round was clearly McKeev- erss. O'Brien remembering his last experience with McKeever, who came within an ace of knocking him out with the first punch, was unusually cautions. McKeever went irA confi- denfly, landing with both left and right. and once rushed O'Brien to the ropes

BE this as it may, the game was won
for Yale. ! waited to see Barnard kick

told me that 1t was 50 dark he couldn't

won anyway for Yale. There was

At what time n day did he die2 No
one knows, at least no one will tell,
though it Is generally conceded that
when he was carried off the field at
the end Of the first half he never went
on it again. If SO, who was in his
place? One report said that he had q
twin brother-the black sheep of the
family, never spoken of-who returned
just before the game, and it was agreed
beforehand that If Archie Barnard
broke down this brother should take
his place. This is the explanation Of
some Harvard men. but ! have met

STABLING COWS.
A Clean, Comfortable and Safe Stall
For Dairy Cows.

A Clean, Comfortable and Safe Stall
For Dairy Cows.
To be efficient a COW stall must keep
the animal both comfortable and clean.
Experienced farmers and dairymen are
most Of them quite familiar with the
merits of the Hoard stall; yet, as it Is
simple Of construction and unpatented,
many others may be interested in it.
An Illustration and explanation OF It,
originally given in Hoard's Dairyman,
are therefore here reproduced.
The excellence Of this plan of tying
cows over the stanchion plan is found
as follows
First.-The COW has three and half
feet i'll width OF stall and perfect liber-
ty and comfort Of position.
Secondly virtue Of the bar across
the stall floor, which will be seen just
forward Of the hind feet Of the stand
ing COW, the animal has always dry,
clean bed to lie in, thus keeping her as
clean from manure In winter as though
she were in a June pasture.
Thirdly this system each COW Is
protected when lying down from hay
ing her toats and udder stepped on by
her standing neighbor. This is one Of
the most productive sources Of injury
that is known and Of itself should con
demn the rigid stanchion.
The cut represents one row Of cows
farinp another row A closely bOa rd
ed partition about four feet high forms
the front of the stall. Each COW has
three and half feet in width. The
floor is made tight, and there is no
drop IN rear Of cows except the thick
ness Of one plank, which is the double
floor of the stall The feeding rack is
constructed for two purposes first to

There may be a mountain in the path
OF cataract In the stream, a chasm in
the plain, or it may be that rain has
converted an earthen road into a
slough, that a cyclone has drifted sand
across d railway or blizzard has fill
ed a cut with snow.
Such are a few of the contingencies
which obstruct the highways of com
merce and which it is the work of the
engineer and roadmaker to remove
where practicable.
What better and more condensed
instructions can be found for this than
those which came from the prophet
Isaiah as the voice of him that crleth
from the wilderness of Asia, Prepare
ye the way; make straight in the des.
ert a highway for our Cod
To-day Russia is literally carrying
out these specifications in extending
her area of steel from the Baltic to the
Japan sea that civilization may ad-
vance by the peaceful revolutions Of
the wheel and not by the arbitrament
of the sword Roman roads sub
jugated and controlled the empire.
Truly the wheel is mightier than the
sword as a civilizing agent"
Following this preamble Mr.. Haupt
showed the relation Of the rate OF
transportation to the profit to the pro
ducer and the influence severally OF
the highway, the railway and the ar
tificial and national waterways in linn
iting or extending the market range
In conclusion he said:
VERY little Of the S000O0,0OO of tona
OF freight carried annually on the rail,
roads OF the United States has its
origin on the line Of the road, but
must first be moved from farm, mine
or forest over earth roads at an average
cost of - cents per ton mile. If the
average distance be but four miles
the expense Of transportation before
delivery to the railroad would be $780,
10000, while the charge for distri-
button may swell this TO over $1,000
100000 annually, most Of which goes
TO cover wear and tear
THE cost Of transportation on our
common roads may be greatly dimin-
ished by reducing the resistanccs and
improving the grades, alignment, sur
face and drainage. If reduced to even
onehalf the effect would be to double
the area Of the territory tributary to
the railroads and so increase their ton
mage as well as the margin available
for transportation.
''As it costs much less to improve
roads than to open branch railroads
as feeders, it would be good policy on
the part Of railroads TO unite with
counties townships and boroughs in
developing systems Of improved trunk
roads with laterals as feeders to their
own systems. Numerous precedents
for such q policy exist in foreign coun.
tries, where the results have prOyeS
irG wisdom and economy"

work For the Roadmaker.
One Of the most instructive papers Of
the good roads convention In Buffalo
in September was by Lewis NJ. Haupt
Philadelphia. member Of the isthmian
canal commission.
Every forward turn Of wheel" he
said, ''is a revolution and typities prog
ress. II is immaterial whether it be a
wagon wheel or II ear wheel. Il fly
wheel or a water wheel Il turbine OF a
propeller, pinion or pulley, bicycle
or mobile. It is always fascinating
to see the wheels 20 round.
Put behind the wheel to make it re
yolve there may be a crank; behind the
crank there must be q motor; behind
the motor an artisan; behind the arti-
san capitalist; behind the capitalist
all inventor; behind the inventor there
is the great Creator Of mind and mat
ter, the incomprehensible God, the
handspring Of all activities and posi-
bilities.
''Intuitively the mind is carried back
In the spirit of the days of old, when
the prophet Ezekiel stood on the banks
Of the river Chebar in the land of the
Chaldeans, and looking into the opened
heavens. beheld the four living crea-
lures which had the likeness of man

The appearance Of the wheels and
their work was like unto the color Of

and their appearance and their work
WAS, as it We're a wheel in the middle

ing creature was in the wheels. And
whithersoeyer the spirit was to go they
went, thither was their spirit to GO
From that day to this the earth has
trundled around her course in yearly
laps, bearing TO the children of the
present century the fruitiOn of this
prophecy of the spirit and the wheels.
Well may it be said today that every
thing goes upon wheels, but there are
wheels and wheels. Some turn more
easily than others and do more work
at less cost, and thus we are brought
directly into contact with the surface
or roadway which the wheel harnesses
as a practical question in economics,
mechanics and physics.
In addition TO the wheel and its
way there are obstacles of various
kinds which impede its progress.
