Gudgeon Fishermen and Bottles
Lovers of gudgeon fishing may this year find
their sport curtailed by the posting" of one
of the best shores near Baltimore. Mr.. H. A.
Hughes. managing owner of the land on each
side of Winters run, or Bush river, south of
Bibber, is seriously thinking of prohibiting
anglers from invading his territory. He said
II would not mind it so much if the fisher
men would stay by the banks of the stream,
but they wander all over the place, and some
times prove a great annoyance. Then they
throw bottles everywhere, and l came near
losing valuable mare last summer because of
q cut she received from broken glass while
pasturing. l do not wish to seem arbitrary
and disobliging, but at present my inclination
is to put up notices and keep off all trespassers."

The weights are announced for the three
spring handicaps which open the meetings
at Brooklyn, Sheepshead Bay and Brighton
Beach, respectively. All three are at
mile and quarter. the first two being
the last named having 5000 added, so that
it may be worth more than $4,000. There
are no penalties for the Brooklyn. but there
is sliding scale of penalties for each of
the last two.
Brooklyn handicap day will be Saturday,
May 2i; Suburban day, Saturday, June IA;
Brighton, Saturday, July 5.
AS generally expected c. H Mackay's
Banastar, winner of the Brooklyn handicap
of 1880 and the Metropolitan last year, is
top weight at 127 pounds in the Brooklyn,
and shares that honor with Watercolor in
the Suburban. Endurance by Right is
given the highest weight of the three-year-
olds and is required to carry Two pounds
more than weight for age, taking into ac-
count her sex allowance
Another three-year-old that is expected to
take prominent part in the Suburban is
Heno, who is in at 107 pounds, or four
pounds less than weight for age lie will
probably be trained especially for the Sub
urban. because his only three-yaar-old en-
gagement of value is the American Derby
at Chicago. Winning the Suburban would
not penaize him for the western classic
run about one week later than the Subur--
ban. If Heno should win the Suburban he
would succeed where so good colt OF the
same age as Henry of Navarro 1,,S pounds

How Cyclist Taylor Was Named
..MajOr."

Marshall Walter Taylor Is the real name
of the black cycier. but ever since he was
ten years old he has been called Major"
Since he has become famous as a bicycle
rider it has been Major Taylor, the name
sticking to him with such persistency that
the quotation marks were lost long ago.
1t was some fifteen years ago in Indian
apolis, the city of the coloreds boys birth.
that he earned his nickname. There was
to be school celebration, and to properly
head the procession there must be a band.
Enough Juveniles were got together to
make up fairly musical aggrega tion--all
but the drum major Then somebody re-
membered the little colored boy and that
he had exhibited utXterity in doing tricks
among his white companions. So Marshall
Taylor was brought out and practiced his
stunts with the band. On the day of the
parade the band came out to head the pro-
cession. and I'm front dressed in most fan
tastic livery. was little Marshall Taylor
Such feats of baton twirling probably have
never been ddplca ted before since. So
il was little Major Taylor that day, and
Major 1t has been ever since.

Another Victory for "YOuug Peter
Jackson

Young Peter Jackson the colored well
terweight, made Harry Fisher of Brooklyn
NJ Y, quit in the eighth round OF what
was scheduled to be twenty-round bout
in Baltimore last night The exhibition did
not attract a large attendance.
Fisher has peculiar style of fighting
which docs not create much enthusiasm
He leads. then steps in and. crossing one
arm over his neck and face and the other
over his body. he makes defense that
worries antagonist who wants to hit
him. Fisher keeps in close to his man and
is quick himself at short-arm hitting.
These tactics puzzled Jackson for a
couple of rounds. hut then he decided there
were other vulnerable parts OF the body to
hit besides the head. and he began hitting
Fisher in the body. These blows, COM
bined with the work Fisher was doing
wore the latter down.
Fisher was not apparently in good fight
ing form when he entered the ring He was
clever enough TO hit Jackson quite often
but his blows showed no effect on the col
ored man, who fought from the start as II
certain of victory. There was very little
variation in the style of fighting in any one
of the eight rounds.
