TOD SLOAN A CHAUFFEUR.

After travelling across the country in

break the bank at Monte Carlo, James
Tod Sloan, one time champion jockey Of
the world, is in Paris, working as a
chauffeur.

that of any Beau Brummel in the world,
and which made him a pet in society,

He is in Paris, employed temporarily by
French automobile concern at paltry
salary-a salary that in month does
not reach the figures of one days ex-
penses two years ago.
When not employed as chauffeur he
is engaged in selling machines for diff
ferent concerns, who rely upon his repu-
tation as former jockey to bring trade
to their shops. His downfall since being
ruled off the English tracks has been
rapid.

SJ00.000 not long ago, but he gave none
to them. and they are not now in posi-

they are to do so. An effort will be made
to raise funds for him should he care to
return to his former home. but those
who know the disposition of the young
man declare he will never be seen in this
country again.

DEPARTMENTAL Bow1ERs,
Interiors Captured Three Games From
the War Rows

In the Departmental Bowling League last
night the Interior team took three games
from the War Department team. The
games were rolled on the Palace alleys be-
fore large attendance, which applauded
the fine work of both teams. The first
game was very exciting, as the score was
close. In the second the Interiors won out
by 23 pins. while in the third they won by
l43 pins The highest score for the evening
was 93s which was the total for the third
game, rolled by the Interiors. The highest
lndlvlduai score was made by Cooper in his
third game, he having total of 212 The

taken to the Canton police station where
Sullivan and Lackey were charged with
prize fighting and the others with aiding
and abetting. They were released on the
deposit OF 500 cash for each as collateral
for their appearance for trial today.
When Sullivan and Lackey appeared In
the ring it was announced that they would
box twenty rounds according to straight
Queensberry rules which permit hitting
with one arm free. This was a mistake on
the part of Lackey's advisers, as he was by
no means a match for Sullivan at that
style of boxing. Sullivan during the two
rounds was fast wearing Lackey down,
and it looked as if he would have won a
decision in four or possibly three rounds.
The police interference prevented any de-
cision being rendered. Several Washing
tonians were present, having gone over to
root for Sullivan. They were greatly dis
appointed at the stoppage. as their man
was winning in quick order
Kid Sullivan and "Dick the Kid of this
city have been matched to box twenty

the fighting name Of Sullvan's opponent

Contests Not Close.

Contests Not Close.
The races were Interesting chiefly on ac-
count of the time made, and not on account
of close contests. The track is half-mile
affair, and the machines had to be shut OH
in making the turns which barred out any
thing like sensational time: but the speed
under these bad conditions was remarkable
and the sport was har-raisng. Then, again.
the committee having the matches In charge
allowed the autos to race against each
other one with all the dressing off and the
other in road order rugged. The Cadillac
people had their machines out with nothing
but the machinery and the driver to catch
the wind while the others, fully dressed,
might as well have carried wind shields. AS
a result the Cadillac rushed away from the
others and made the events professions In
stead of races. AZ this was the first meet
ing of the association, all the shortcomings
can be overlooked, but 1t goes without say
ing there will be few handicaps in future
events.
There were several narrow escapes from
serious injury, resulting from the short
turns and sandy track. In trying the track
in the morning Mr.. Cook of Cook & Owes
ney had the misfortune to run into the
fence on the first turn and smash things up
generally In making the turn the rear
wheels swung around, and before Mr.. Cook
could straighten his machine out 1t was
into the fence. The timbers flew in every
direction. and Mr.. Cook went through the
d
his right shoulder in soft spot as he put
it. 1t was narrow escape and thrilling
sight to the OnlOOkers Shortly afterward
two other drivers, in making the turn with
larger machines. had narrow escapes. and
altogether the crowd was kept stirred up
until the chief events were pulled off
There were three match races of five miles
each. A match between Vincent Walshs
(Winton) gasoline motor carriage of twenty
horse power. driven by II. l.. Owesney, and
Howard w. Gilrs STANLEY steam carriage
of four horse power was the most closely
contested race. The two machines were on
even terms turning into the backstretch of
the first lap, and on the last turn Mr. Gill
passed his opponent and came down the

FOREIGN MISSIONS.

Boston, Dec. 30.--The 9Sd annual report
of the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Mission, which was made
public mere, today, is largely a review of
The work which missionaries in foreign
countries have accomplished.
The missionaries in European Turkey,
the. report says have maintained nell-
trail attitude, not taking in the political
agitaticns either in Macedonia or Bulga-
ria. The past year at Salonica. in Mace
donia,. has been the most trying period
in the history of that station. The success
of the missionary work was largely pre-
vented by the lawlessness and anarchy
prevailing throughout the region. The
conditions at Harpoot arising from the
fact that the government has become sus-
pcious of the Armenians and that many
young men have emigrated to America,
have deprived the station of many excel
lent workers who would gladly return
were it possible to do so with safety.
Massachusetts has been the banner state
for contributions to the American Board
during the year with it's s242,5 Con-
necticut ranks second contributing Si03,-

AL RECORDS BROKEN
BY Number Of Immigrants Arriving at
New York.

New York, Dec. 30.-Immigration at
this port in 1908, has passed all preyi-
Gus records. During the calendar year
now ending, 619,9S0 immigrants-steer-
age passengers-arrivedh here as against
SAT. ISL in 1902, an increase of 72,sS3. 1t
is estimated that some 1000 more for
eigners will land before Jan. l, so thar
the total increase will probably be close
to $4,000. This year. 1902, was a record
breaking one, the, increase of 1901 hay
ing been about 139, 900.
AS vas the case, last year, the heav-
lest immigration was during May,
when 9a,S15 steerage passengers We're
admitted at New York. Almost as
many came here in April. The immi-
grafton was larger every month of the
current year, compared with the
monthly figures in 1902, with the excep-
ton of the current month. Last De-
cenber, $4,000 immigrants. approXi-
mately, landed here. This month. the
number will probably not exceed 81
coo.
Southern Europe contributed by far
the largest proportion of the total.
There was, however, a marked in
crease in new Corners from northern
and western Europe, especially Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark. Italy, new
ertheless, leads all the rest. The exc
dus of italian laborerS. with whom the
outward bound steamers were loaded,
