Nelson's Only Defeat.

Nelson, like all the greatest COM
manders OH sea or land, made his mis-
takes and his failures, but there is only
one instance on record of his having
been actually defeated in direct at
tack. This occurred at Santa Cruz, in
the Canary islands, on July "a, 1897.
The place was very strongly fortified,
and Nelson, in the face of fire of fifty
guns from the batteries, attempted to
storm the town by boats. The attempt
was frustrated by the strength of the
mole and the nonappearance Of land
force which should have co-operated.
A hundred and fifty men were killed
and a hundred wounded on the British
side and Nelson lost his right arm.
Two flags were also captured, and
these are still kept in the cathedral of
Santa Cruz

SPEAR WELL KNOWN HERE
VETERAN HORSEMAN IS FINED
Man Derricked From Behind Lord
Derby Has Been Prominent
Figure in Northwest.

Driver George w. Spear, who won noto-
riety for himself on the harness turf few
days ago, when he was "derricked' from
behind the famous gelding, Lord Derby
(2:06h) at Cleveland, and fined $3.50 by
the Judges for not driving to win in the
first heat of the 2:07 trot, is one of the
most prominent reinsmen now on the
grand circuit, and drives for E. e. smath-
ers, the New York broker. Smathers is
at present the heaviest better on the "big
ring"
Spear came into prominence in 1891, at
Cleveland, when he was ruled off the turf
for not driving to win in the race from
which grew the celebrated Temple Bar
scandal. His offense was minimized by the
investigation of the case, and a season
or two later he was reinstated. Since
then Spear has become one of the most
successful reinsmen in the country. He
holds the dist ainction Of twice having won
the $4,000 Merchants and Manufacturers
stake at Detroit. He won the blue ribbon
race in 1891 with Temple Bar, and in 1895
with Royal Baron. He has trained and
driven many horses to fast records.
Since 1891 he has never been in trouble

MOOSE In ADIR0NDACKS
RESTOCKING THE MOUNTAINS
First Insta1lment of Imported AMI
mails Is Turned Loose Near
Saranac Lake.

The first installment OF moose imported
into the Adirondacks for the purpose OF
restocking the north woods arrived at
Saranac lake recently and the animals
were liberated in one of the densest parts
Of the mountains about Uncas Pond, near
the Fulton chain. There were two bulls
and four cows.
It Is expected that by fall there will be
fifty moose liberated in the woods and 1t
is hoped that with proper protection they
will suffice to restock the Adirondacks
with q variety Of game long extinct here.
The arrival OF the moose marks the suc-
cessful outcome of efforts begun nearly
two years ago. AN appropriation of
$4,000 was made by the legislature for
transporting them to the Adirondacks.
1t was with some difficulty that the
moose were caught. They were captured
in the woods in Ontario.
Two years ago this fall fine moose,
weighing 1,4O0 pounds, was shot by an
Adirondack guide few miles from Sar-
anac lake. The animal had escaped, from
the private reservation of DR.. w. Sew
ard Webb. The guide who did the shoot
ing was arrested and fined $3.50.
Some weeks ago q herd Of elk, an ami
NAL that had also become extinct in the
Adirondacks, were liberated near Fulton
chain. The elk were procured and given
to the Forest, Fish and Game association
by William C. Whitney. Chief Game
Commissioner Pond said this week that
the elk so far were doing we'll, and he be-
l,eved in few years they would multiply
to an appreciable extent. &s

ing one at a time, but 1t is better to buy
them both II the outing is to be of any
length. One of them is enough for
reel, as man will never need more than
$50 feet in handling bass, and the other
one may be kept unused In the box ready
or the emergency of a broken line or one
that has rotted. ....
The reel spindle should first be wound
with about 100 feet of linen line and the
elk wrapped above that. This will make
a full reel and full reels cast better.
The line, OF course, should be stretched
and dried on each return to camp. The
best Of silk lines will rot and snap under
slight strain If allowed to remain wet over
night for week.
There are fancy silk lines which run In
price from 81 to 81. These are intended
for persons with strong purses and weak
heads. For bait-casting a line at 81 a
spool Is good enough for king.
They are of all colors, red and white.

on, but the nearer line approaches to a
gray or light brown tone the better, since
it Is less conspicuous In the water. One
maker turns out beautiful smooth No.
In light brown and green, and In most
lake waters it cannot be seen.
For reel man may pay any amount
| which his bank account-or lack of bank
account-directs. In the days when all
skill were expended upon them as upon
| watch, and they cost large prices.
| Now they are manufactured in thou
sands by exact machinery. The various
Kentucky reels, so-called, are still high
priced, running from SO for q small, sim
pie affair to $3.50 for full jeweled ma
chine intended for tarpon or tuna. The
plain fisherman, however, can get a reel
for 81 which will last for years and will
permit bait to be cast as far as can be
done with any expensive machine.

POLO ON AUTOMOBILES
WILL BE A VERY HOT PAsTIME
Interesting Exhibition Is Given by
Joshua Crane, Jr., at Dedham
Club in Boston.

In the future the fast and furious game
of polo may be played with the speed
OF racing automobiles. To-day polo is
generally conceded the fastest, most ex-
citing and doubtless most dangerous game
in the world. Every element Of It's ex-
citement will be intensified by substitut-
ing the racing automobile for the polo
pony. The special polo automobile races
over the field at the speed of lightning
express train; the player has greater
facility in making shots and his steed Is
under more instant control. while an ac-
newest twentieth century game is called
automobile polo.
An interesting exhibition of auto polo
was given recently on the field of the
fashionable Dedham Polo club Of Bos-
ton. Joshua Crane, Jr., member Of the
club and an expert polo player. made a
series Of polo strokes from his automo-
bile to the amazement Of polo enthusiasts.
Mr.. Crane is a clever all-around athlete
and an adept at handling an automobile
as we'll as polo mallet. He was consid-
erably handicapped by his machine.
heavy French racer; yet. notwithstand-
ing this, his success in handling the ball
was considered remarkable. While going
at breathless speed he was able to hit
the ball with great accuracy, whether he
found it in front, on the side or in the
rear Of his machine.
The feature of Mr.. Cranes play from
his machine was his dazzling turns at
speed. 1t was remarked that never be-
fore had polo player kept SO near the
ball or followed it over so great stretch
of field at such speed At all times Mr..
Crane seemed to have his machine under
absolute control. stopping it, forcing it
backward, or turning its head from side
to side as nimbly as he could control a
trained polo pony,
The auto -poloist also aroused enthu-
siasm by making many difficult polo shots
between the wheel of his machine. The
only strokes, in fact, which he could not
make from an automobile as we'll as from
his polo pony were the rear side strokes.
The wide guards over the wheels of his
machine blocked his mallet when the ball
was near or under his wheels. This diff
Guilty could readily be removed by con-
structing machines especially for polo
playing.
