SCULPTURE BY MACHINERY.
An Invention Acquired by Sir Conan
DOYLE for Making Statues.

From the London Post.
There have been attempts from time to
time in various quarters to provide ma
chine which will perform the task now car
ried out by the sculptor's workmen, but
hitherto they have met with little or no
success. It has been reserved for Sir Ar
thur Conan Doyle, the well-known and pop
ular novelist. and Mr.. w. G. Jones, sculp-
tor who is better known In the United
States than in this country. to bring before
the public an invention which will do all
the work now done by the pointer" and
in a twentieth of the time. The inventor is
signor Auguste Contempt Of Naples. Sir A.
Conan Doyle and Mr.. Jones have acquired
all the British rights in the invention, as
well as the only machine carrying out Sig
nor Bontempis ideas at present in exist
ence.
A representative Of the Morning Post had
the opportunity of seeing the sculpturing
machine at work yesterday. 1t has been
temporarily set up at Battersea in fac
tory recently occupied by one of those linn
tied companies that have fallen on evil
days, and its domicile Is approached through
a grass-grown private road and a number
Of dust-covered, deserted rooms. But these
depressing surroundings are forgotten as
soon as the machine Is seen at work. It Is
really a wonderful continuance. and one
that Is probably destined to have great
effect on the art of sculpture in the imme-
date future. When our representative in
spected the machine 1t was engaged In pro-
ducing two marble copies Of a bust of
Homer. The italian workman in charge
was seated at one side Of the machine. In
front of him was plaster cast With one
hand he guided rod backward and for
ward over the plaster. A revolving steel
drill protruded from the machine couple
Of feet away, and another further on. In
front OF each Of these drills was fixed
block of marble. A jet OF water played on
the point Of each drill. Every movement
of the rod In the workmans hand was fol-
lowed by a similar movement on the part
of the drills. which rapidly cut away the
surface OF the MARBLE until It correspondent
with the surface Of the plaster. The ma
chine had already cut the face OF the poet
out Of the marble, and was at work on the
side of the head. Some of the superabun-
dant stone having been rapidly cleared
away, the rod was applied to the f1ifet bind
ing the poets hair. and in a few minutes
the ribbon was reproduced In the marble.
The rough outline Of the hair then made
its appearance, every lock being hewn out
of the hard stone with astonishing celebrity
and marvellous fidelity.
The present machine cost only about ECO,
and the expense OF worlkine 10 almost In

Africander Quits Racing.

Africander, according to the statement
made by c. F. DwyeS at Sheepshead Bay
yesterday, will not race again this year 1t
seems that the great three year-old In his
race with The Picket on Tuesday struck
himself and severely bruised one of his
forelegs. Yesterday morning he was so
lame that at first 1t was feared that he had
bowed tendon. but a careful examination
by veterinary revealed the fact that he
was not seriously injured.
1t was the intention of his owners, Deimel
& Dwyer. to start Africander in the $25 900
annual champion stakes next Saturday, but
the accident makes this impossible. Afri-
cander has won more than $4,000 in stakes
this year and is the best three-year-old in
the east.

RACES AT SHEEPsHEAD.
Driver Kerr of This City Got Bad Fall
in Gentlemen's Jockey Event.

A series of accidents married the racing
at the Sheepshead Bay track yesterday.
Jockey McCafferty had his leg broken the
race horse Jim Kelly ruptured the liga-
ments and tendons of leg, and two gen
tlemen Jockeys were thrown and badly
bruised &C.
The mishaps to McCafferty and Jim Kelly
occurred in the first race. In the rush for
positions soon after the barrier went up
Vagary. ridden by McCafferty was jammed
against the rail. McCaffertys left leg near
the thigh, was caught against the fence
and badly fractured. The lad pitched from
the Coney Island Emergency Hospital.
Jim Kelly will never race again. He
was high-class two-year-old colt, by DR..
observation-disclosures. and was valued by his
owner, F. A. Jones' at $4,000. He was en-
tered In the opening race, ive-and-one
half-furlong dash. not to be sold, while the
remainder Of the field. thirteen colts and
hllies, were offered for sale at 81 500 each
After Jim Kelly had won by four lengths
Redfern, his jockey. pulled him up to gal
iop back to the stand Trainer Tom WEIGH
who was standing near the club house in
closure when Jim Kelly galloped past
heard something snap and Immediately the
colt stumbled and nearly fell. DR.. Fred. W.
Ashe examined him and pronounced him
worthless as a race horse. The sesamoid
bone In the near foreleg was fractured and
tured.
Trainers believe that the accident was
due to Redferns hurry in stopping the colt
after the race-simlar tactics to those that
resulted in the injury to Flying Ship last
week.
The steeplechase was In many respects
the most nsational cross-country event
this season. Eight horses started, all rid

millionaire F. Ambrose Clark in the saddle,

by Mr.. Hayes. Woodpigeon was third

carried Mr.. Page. Daryl Mr.. Marshall and
Manillian Mr.. Marmee.
At the third obstacle Woodpigeon pecked
badly at the fence and sent Mr.. Kerr flying
out Of the saddle The bungle caused Row

horses head up so quickly that he re-
gained his feet. AT the Liverpool Manil-
lion went cropper, and Mr.. Marmee dug
up the sod with his shoulder

finishing touches in the case Of delicate
work. 1t promises entirely to abolish the
present long and costly process Of point
ing" So far as architectural decoration is
concerned the effects of its introduction
should be remarkable. In the opinion of
one architect Of experience 1t will reduce
the price of architectural carving from
pounds to shillings." The same Corinthian
capital. for instance. Is reproduced in in
finite number, and so Is much Of the floral
work that enters largely into the adorn-
ment of Gothic buildings. The cost of such
reproduction can now be greatly reduced
without in any way depreciating the artis-
tic excellence Of the work. There is no
reason why. when such machine comes
into common use, really good sculpture
should not take the place OF the inferior
carvings In stone which now dishgure the
portals. the windows and the mantels OF
many of our suburban houses. The tnyen-
ton Is undoubtedly a notable one. and II
has vast possibilities of development.
