1.-THE railway system Of Argentina"
says correspondent of the London
Post, sis second to none in the world.
Trains run at frequent intervals and
punctually. especially the long distance
trains. The rolling stock is excellent
and long distance journey by rail is a
luxury. The sleeping cars are sumptu
ously appointed, the permanent ways
are well laid, and there is consequently
very little jolting. 1t is possible to
breakfast or dine in the trains as COM
fortably as in hotel. The dining cars
are well fitted up and beautifully deco
rated with flowers and pot plants. The
food Is properly cooked and tastefully
served at any hour Of the day or night,
and, above all. the charges are ex-
traordinarily low. Fares, too, are very
low, so that travelling is an easy and a
cheap matter"

Finger rings made of horseshoe nails!
They are certainly not pretty or grace
full, but they are said to bring good
luck to the wearer on certain condi-
lions.
To be genuine charm the ring must
be made from nail taken from a
horseshoe found by the owner herself
and nobody else. This is taken to u
jeweler, who bends 1t to fit her little
finger and cuts off the superfuous
length.
The ring is not welded together, and
the head of the nail stands for the set
ting. There's no way Of proving 1t, but
those who have adopted these orna-
ments say that they bring just as much
luck as horseshoe itself hung over the
door with ends up.-New York Herald.

Tonight's Contest With
Kid Carter.
FITZ WANTS ANOTHER BATTLE

feat the Cornishman.

Tommy Ryan and Kid Carter are TO
fight twenty rounds tonight for the mid
dleweight championship at Fort Erie,
which is across the border in Canada
from Buffalo. y. Y. Judging from The
first meeting between the two men Ryar
should have all the best of the fighting
as long as he is in the ring. for he IS
much the more scientific boxer of the
two. But Carter has terrible puncn,
which means trouble for anyone on
whom it lands, as was demonstrated
when he nearly stopped kid" Mccoy in
Philadelphia, and it is or this punch that
his friends are banking. However, Ryan
is pretty good puncheT himself, and
as he will be at his very best al the
weight-i5S pounds-while Carter Will
be bit too fine, the Syracuse man
would seem TO have the best chance of
collecting the long end of the purse.
Ryan Won the decision from Carter at
Tattersall's, Chicago. on November 81,
1900. in n six-round bout. But Carter
has improved much since that time The
tWO men VIII NtlSD III at 4 q clDck lHiS

required weight. Ryan is said to be
about 154 pounds. The men meet before

and 25 per cent TO the loser. George

the title he holds. Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien Joe Walcott, the colored pugi-
list; George Gardner and Jack Root AZ,
all ready to challenge the winner. Sew
eral clubs have already offered a $1,000
purse for battle between the winner OF
this fight and o'Brien.
Carter's record OF fights won does not
compare with Ryan's. but 1t is on his
performances this year that Carter's fol-
lowers base their hopes of his success.
As an instance. il is remembered how,
on May - of this year, Carter sur
prised the pugilistic world by almost
putting kid" Mccoy out of business.
Two months before that, at Chicago he
knocked out Joe Choynski in one round.
He won from Al Weinig in six rounds
at Chicago on April Z, and on July
knocked the cyclist- -pugilist out in
twelve rounds at Fort Erie. His last
battle was with Jimmy Handler al Fort
Erie, July 2s, when he made the latter

quit in two rounds. His one defeat this
year was; administered by Marvin Hart,
at Louisville. KY, on 2iay 3, when he
was knocked out in nine rounds.
Ryan's most important fights this year
have been his eleyen-round battle with
Mysterious Billy Smith, whom he
knocked out al Kansas City on March
II; ten-round decision over Billy Stiff
on April 8, and the fCur-rourd contest
won from Jimmy Handler May 30. at

Johnny German in England. He put

The opposition to the Championship
fight between Young Corbett and Terry

at that it is not likely to prove strong
enough to prevent the battle from TAX

Both profess to be brim full of con-

trouble the second time than he hGd

Unless McGovern has learned to pay
more attention to what is coming a.
well as to what he is sending the re-
suit of the second meeting should re-

put up very different sort Of fight
this time. He has tasted the bitter

that it does not happen again. He

Home Team Disappointment.

The work of the Senators has been a
sore disappointment TO the followers of
the game in the Capital The manage
ment held out hopes that were of the
rosiest sort imaginable before the sea-
son was under way. but when the PACE
was struck by the other clubs we i'm
mediately slipped back to the position
that seems inevitably destined for the
local representatives on the diamond.
II is easy to account for the nom
success of the Senators.
The men have not played up to eX
pectations-that is, with few eXcep-
tions-and the stars have turned ott to
be gold bricks. The management has
been loose and careless, and opportuni-
ties to get players have been tossed
aside. This is especially true il the
ease of Lajoie, whose services might
have beer secured by Washington just
us well as Cleveland, had the people at
the head of the local team seen flt to
dig as deep in their pocket az did
Cleveland. That Lsjoie is directly re-
sponsible for the high standing OF The
Ohio players there is little doubt I'm
