her field. Cannon kept on the extreme out
side all the way. She wore her field down
on the back stretch, and at the three-quar-
tiers went to the front without an effort
and was eased up all through the last fur
long, finishing strong. Birchbroom and
dates for popular favor, were used up maxi
ing pace. Rain poured down during the
day and the track was a veritable lake.
Farmer Jim was the only beaten favorite.
Upon complaint of Ed Corrigan and after
investigation the stewards have ruled Z. L..
Bohlman off the track for violation of the
rule regarding attempts to prevent bidding
up in selling races. The particular race In
question is that won by Lefiare, then Bohl-
mans property, recently After due con-
sideration of Jockey Buchanan's appeal the

and ordered a few cheap trifies. AS the
salesman waited on her she wandered from
counter TO counter, eating ravenously ex-
pensfve candies, expensive biscuit and ex-
pensive cheeses. II guess she'd have taken
a cigar IL she smoked" the salesman said
on her departure, and then he went on:
ITS sin the way people turn our place
into a free lunch joint. In a shameless
manner they eat anything that they can
lay their hands on. In fact. among grocers
it's an axiom that anything left open is
customers prey. What they seem TO like
best is cheese-the 30 and 40-cent cheese.
They are partial to prunes, too. You see
that keg of olives in the corner? L saw a
woman eat twelve olives out of IL yester-
day. Sweet cakes and biscuit please them
leave plenty OF cakes and biscuit out If
you want to do a good trade. Here in this
store there is fully 81 worth of food de-
voured a day by customers. The thing is
expected. If We put our goods under cover
our patronage would forsake us. Hence
say. why not establish a free lunch-a
lunch, say, of cheese olives, pickles, pie,
cake and prunes? Advertise it, too, with a
big sign out front: Free Lunch! Lunch
with Every Purchase That, L think, would
be a drawing card"

AUTO SHOW PREPARATION
LOCAL DEALERS GETTING READY
FOR APRIL DISPLAY.
First Week in Next Month VIII BE
"AutOmObile Week"-Many Fine
Cars Will BE Exhibited.

indianapolis automobile dealers are maxi
ing great preparations for Automobile
Week." the first week in April. All the
dealers interested in the coming show are
engaging in friendly rivalry, and the pub
lie will secure the benefit of seeing the big
displays of autos which will be brought to
this city by the dealers. The lack OF a
suitable building in which to hold this
years show made II necessary for the deal
ers to devise another plan. and several
weeks ago it was agreed that all the deal
ers should have their "spring openings
the first week Of April.
Instead of one show, there will be four
big ones, and each one will be worth a visit
to see. The local dealers have been pre-
pairing for Automobile Week. for two
months. Carl Fisher, of the C.. G. Fisher
York show to secure attractions for his spe-
cial show. and Frank Staley, of the III. T.
Hearsey Vehicle Company. made trip to
the Chicago show to engage attractions and
secure the latest ideas for the display to be
given by his firm. Conrad Mueller has also
secured many special features which he will
display during the week, and 8. w. Elston
will convert his place on Ohio street into
Carl Fisher will give his show in his new
building on North Illinois street, just north
of New York street. The building Is now
in course of construction, but it will be
ready for occupancy the latter part of this
month, and he will open it to the public
during automobile week. Fisher has pre-
pared for a handsome display of big tour
ing machines, both American and French
styles, and I'm addition Will show many
other machines used for road and city use.
His building will be occupied with an i'm
mense display of fine machines.
The entire lower floor Of the III. T. Hear
sey Company, on Monument place, will be
used that week for the display of automo-
biles of the latest design and also some
unique styles. The carriages and other
turnouts will be stored in another part of
the building, and the lower floor will be
handsomely decorated for the week. Mr..
Staley says the firms he represents will
send their latest styles and finest machines
to Indianapolis for display during the
week.
Conrad Mueller and Mr. Elston also prom
ise many novel features, and will have on
exhibition many fine cars, both for touring
purposes and for general use. Manufacture
ers not represented in this city will be given
space in the various stores in the city.
The Indianapolis dealers expect to sell
many machines during the week to local
people, and also to prospective buyers from
other cities in the State. 1t is expected a
larger number of machines will be sold in
Indianapolis this year than I'm any previous
year. The week will open with a grand au-
tomobile parade.

mee- I'm San Francisco to again battle for
the honor, and. of course. big percentage

McGovern. Immediately accepted IL and the
met lost no time in signing articles to fight
at San Francisco.
Both McGovern and Corbett are training
hard for the coming battle. the former at
Crolls gardens, Alameda, and the latter
Francisco. Both are well pleased with their
quarters. McGovern says that In his for
mer fights his training never exceeded two
weeks. but that for Corbett he will have
had the benefit OF nearly three weeks OF
systematic preparation. 1t was Meow
to confine himself to outdoor exercise, but
he has changed his mind and Is now boxing
every day. He will turn his attention TO
such exercises as will increase his speed.
Corbett believes that he Is now as good
as he ever has been and Is confident OF
able indoor work and is boxing daily with
Billy Otis.
There has been a turn I'm the betting dur
ing the past week. The first odds were In
favor OF McGovern, but the betting Is now
even. Even money has been wagered In

BOXING AT CYCLORAMA
FOUR BOUTS ON THE PROGRAMME
FOR WEDNESDAYS SHOW.
Eddie santry and Adam Ryan I'm Main
Contesf-Even Money Bet on Cor
bett-McGOvern Fight.

The programme arranged by the Indian
apolis Athletic Club for its first spring
sparrfng carnival, TO be held at the Cyclic
rama rink next Wednesday evening. is by
far the best that has ever been prepared
for one evenings entertainment in the box
ing line in this city. Careful attention has
been given by the matchmaker in selecting
the contestants for all four bouts-the two
four-round preiiminaries. six-round semi
wind-up and the ten-round main contest,
and all OF the bouts promise to be interest
ing. The two principal bouts will bring
out-of-town fighters together, while the two
preliminaries will bring four of the clever
est local tig-mitt colony into the squared
circle.
The main bout will be between Eddie
Santry. OF Chicago, and Adam Ryan, OF
Philadelphia Santry is well known to the
Indianapolis boxing fraternity, as he ap-
peared here last summer in two contests.
and was considered one OF the cleverest
boxers that ever appeared before an In
dianapolis crowd. Followers Of ring events
know Adam Ryan by reputation. He was
introduced at the Empire late last summer.
when he seconded Billy Rockford In the
latter's contest with George Monroe. Ryan
DeSted all the best men IN the leather
weight division in the East before he came
West. During the past year he mas met
many OF the top-notchers in his class III
the West and has won many battles. Ryan
and Santry have met twice before, the
bouts resulting in draws, so evenly were
they matched. They fight about the same
style and both are aggressive and clever
at mitigating, and as they will box under
straight rules hit in clincheS and protect
themselves in the breaks lively contest is
expected. Before the sport was stopped In
Chicago efforts were made to match the
two men again to settle the question or
supremacy, but they never got together
since they fought their last draw. Botn
men have trained hard for the coming con-
best OF condition and about evenly matched
as 10 weight.
The semi-wind-up will bring together
George Quinn and Johnny Ruse, or chi
cage, who are classed as the top-notchers
in the lightweight class in that city. They
will enter the ring at l05 pounds and VIII
60 six rounds for decision.
The first preliminary of four rounds
will be between Lawrence Clark and Al
O'Bannon, both Of Indianapolis, and the
second preliminary, also or four ROUNDS,
will be between Tommy Carroll and Willie
koerner. of Indianapolis.
The four bouts Will furnish twenty-four
rounds Of clever boxing. The rink will be
arranged so that every seat I'm the build

be elevated four feet and will be placed
In the center of the polo flour. Seats Will
