BIG HAY CROP.

The biggest single crop of hay ever
grown and cut in Dougherty county is
that which has just been gathered by
Mr.. n. ]. Cruger on his plantation a
few miles northeast of Albany. The
lot contains 500 tons, that is absolutely
free of all foreign weeds. and is con-
sidered to be superior to anything in
the hay line yet produced in that Sec
ton. The selling quality of the hay
is enhanced by a liberal sprinkling of
peavines and beggarweeds. The most
improved methods of curing will be
adopted, and it is safe to say that a
ready market will be found for this
immense crop right at home, which
up to eleven years ago, was supplied
with its hay from the West

M'PARTLANp,s NOSE FIXED.

Buffalo, Jan 29.-Kid Mcfarland of New York underwent a painful opera ton on the nose at the Emergency hos pital in this city Monday. He stood the operation we'll and, according to the physicians, the New York pugilist will be out in few days as good as ever. The Kids nose had always bothered him more or less. but when he finished his bout with Buddy King in Denver several months ago he discovered it was in bad shape. The doctors exhibited q small piece of bone which they cut from the center of Me, Partland's nose. It was fully a quar- ter of an inch long and very thick. McPartland is matched to meet Otto selloH in Detroit on the night of Feb ruary 4. He says he will fulfil his en- gagement with the Windy City boxer and win. His friends in this city think McPartland is doing an unwise thing in lighting so soon after such an op- eration. He says he win fight under any condition.

WITH THE POLOISTS.

 "Spot'' Hadley got through with the Clinton team for keeps Saturday night. Charley Farrell captains the team and Fred Lincoln besides being made ex- captain will play as sixth man in the future Curtis taking his place along with Cunningham on the rush line Lowell Mail.
 John Roberts will play in Plymouth or he won't play at all. For nearly two weeks the veteran second rusher has been lost to all that pertains to polo. and nobody seems to know where he located himself. He was dickering with Doe of Lewiston according to all accounts, and the latter has told Jake
 Morse that the. deal between them IS of. Brockton Enterprise.
 Malachi Kittredge applied to the Springfield city council Monday night for the use of City hall for polo games. Kittredge in his request expresses a willingness to accept any terms the city council may make, and to abide by any conditions they may impose. The petition is believed to signify q wish on the part of Kittredge to trans fer to Springfield the Worcester polo team, of which he is manager. The request was referred to the city prop erty committee.
 The Worcester Telegram comments thus upon the playing of the Lowell team in that city Saturday night: Lowell plays the game on rather diff ferent lines than any other team that has come to Worcester. There is a finish and life to it's playing, such as usually characterizes a championship combination Fox's work at goal was in striking contrast to that of the oth- CT goal tends. Fox hasn't the slight est hesitancy in leaving the goal un- guarded and going to meet the ball when he sees straight drive is under way. By that method he blocked many a drive that otherwise would probably have landed In the cage"
 X change in the management of the Lewiston polo team was announced Saturday in the sale of the team by Manager Doe to Nick McGilvray, cap tain of the team. Doe returned Satur- day from Dover, N. H., where he had been at work on the base ball manage ment of the team which he is to put into that city and he found that begin ming with February so much of his time will be occupied in that work un- der the term of his contract with the Dover people that he will be obliged to give up the management of polo in Lewiston. Arrangements have been made for McGilvray to hold all the contracts made by Doe for the Lewis ton polo team and McGilvrav will as- sume management at once.

"A Full Flooded Indian VIII Have 2
 Running Mate.

William Davis, full blooded Mo hawk Indian of Hamilton, Ont, has en- tered the international six-day go-as- vou-p1ease race to be decided in Madi- son Square Garden next month. Da- wis is the champion of the Six Nations reservation in Canada. His team mate will be Dennis Carroll, the long dis fance runner of Canada. Carroll for merly was the trainer of John Gallery, and has won many long distance events. Davis's most noteworthy race was when he finished second to Jerry Pierce for the twenty-five mile cham pionship at the Pan-American exhibi- fion. A full-blooded Indian in the race will add unusual interest to the event, and his showing against the Hurst brothers, Cavanaugh, Negleman, Tracy, Noremac, Hart and the other forty teams who are entered will be anx- dously looked for by the public.
 John Smith, a baker of Mattewan, N. Y. has shut up his shop to train for the x-daywalulsing match in New York next month. 1t is said that Smith discovered that he was a long distance walker by pacing the floor all night with a baby.

FIGHTS IND FIGHTERS.
Sharkey Dictates q Letter to
 Jeffries For a Match.

He Says There Are Many Places
 Where They Could Meet-Jeffries Is
 Willing, But Would Prefer Fitzsim-
 mons-Jack O'Brien's Great Record
 in England-Kid McPartland's Nose
 Fixed-Kid Mccoy Fires Benton.
 Although the Yosemite A. c. of San Francisco has rejected the matcn made between Jim Jehries ana 1on Sharkey, the latter is not at all satls- fled that the contest will not eVenluai- ly be held. Sharkey says that there are plenty of other places besides san Francisco where battle of this lln- portance can be brought off. 10 tnis effect Sharkey's manager has opensu correspondence with Champion Jlm Jeffries, who is now appearing at Bos- ton nightly in a sparring contest Wltn his brother Jack. Reich's letter 10 Jeffries. which was mailed yesterday is a follows:
 .James J. Jeffries, Boston Theater,
 Boston, Bass:
 Dear Sir: Although I have not re- ceived an official notification of the same, understand that your battle with Sharkey is an impossibility as far as San Francisco is concerned. HOW ever, there are other places where the fight can be held and you will oblige me if you will kindly name another date for the opening of bids for the contest. Awaiting your reply l am sincerely yours, BARNEY REICH"
 Reich states that he knows of a spot where Sharkey and Jeffries can have it out without fear of molestation. He will make it known when Jeffries con- sents to renew negotiations. If lief fries's remarks, which he made the other night at Boston, are any criterion this is not at all likely. The boiler maker said that he did not care to face any other man outside of Bob Fitzsim- mons. 'I am getting tried of the ring and the stage" Jeffries said. land the public will not be surprised to hear some day that I have retired. I have ! defeated Sharkey twice, but agreed to take him on once again because he is the only one I failed to knock out for the title. With him out of the way rather prefer Fitzslmmons, and if l can't get him I might as well quit That's all there is to it.''

M'CoY BUSINESSES BENTON.

Charles Mccoy has become tried of the pyrotechnic individual, Benjamin H. Benton, who while in America wrote sporting news over the nom de plume of Rob Roy" Benton has been act ing as McCoy's manager since the lat ter has been in England, and the re- suits have apparently not been satis- factory. In letter to George Hauger, who conducts the Mccoy cafe at Broadway and Fortieth street, the Hoosier boxer says many of his friends strongly advised him to drop Benton. However, he stuck to the latter till he saw many things of which he could not approve, whereupon he cut loose. Mccoy says he will take a trip to the Madiera Islands, Marseilles and Monte Carlo, after which he will return to England and go into business with Mitchell. s
