ROOT AND GARDNER READY.
Both Men in Shape for Their Fight
SATURDAY..

Buffalo, July Root and Gardner,
who will fight for the lightweight cham
pionship next Saturday. began their
Sunday by going to church. Gardner
and his trainers afterward climbed into
a touring car. with the boxer at the
steering wheel and went to Niagara
Falls and back on the Canadian roads.
Root chose the water for his recreation
and spent the day fishing from a yacht
on Lake Erie. Root brought a perch
back to camp and laughingly said that
he would land Gardner just as easily.
Neither man did any training, but
both weighed late in the afternoon.
Gardner weighed 1854, so he needs to
take off only eight ounces during the
week. Root weighed pound more than
Gardner.
Tomorrow morning Gardner will go
out on the roads for the last time before
the fight, and thereafter will do no work
except boxing and punching the bag.
Roots ideas are practically the same,
for he says gymnasium work will be
enough until Friday morning, when he
Will quit work altogether
Billy Pierce, who arrived from Bos-
ton on Saturday night, will be with
Gardner until after the contest. He is
pleased with his mans condition.

THE RELIANCE TOO LARGE
Flaunts the Largest Topsail Ever Set
on Yacht.


New York July Though the official
measurements OF the Reliance have not
been made public. a reliable independent
estimate of her proportions was made by a
noted expert while she was in drydock in
ERIE Basin According to his figures the
new cup defender is much larger than
elther OF her older sisters, and Will have to
allow them more time than has heretofore
been suspected by the majority of yachts
men. With 1000 feet more sail spread than
columbia and Loo more than Constitution,
the defender under cup race rules, will
have TO allow Columbia minutes and
81 80 seconds over a thirty knot course
ana the Constitution 2 minutes and 10 4-5
seconds.
Reliance is Jas feet over all and very
line Her. sail area is 1918 square feet,
which is by far the greatest sail spread
ever carried by a defender.
The length of her boom is 1851 feet and
of the gait 70 feet The height Of the mast
from deck to truck is $50 Seet of which the
mainmast measures 40 and the topmast 80
length only so per cent of the top mast is
included, apd thus the perpendicular is
brought down to 155 feet The hoist of the
mainsail is "a feet the huff and 146 feet
on the leach. From the forward side of the
mast to the tip of the bowsprit measures
IS feet, and the length of the jibtopsail stay
sail is therefore 1901 feet long on the luff
100 feet on the leach and So feet on the
foot. The largest spinnaker is exactly the
same size The spinnaker boom is So feet
long.
Unless the new Shamrock can rival DER,
the Reliance faunts the largest clubtop-
ures rs feet in length and the club 81 feet.
When set the spirit towers IS feet above
the tip Of the topmast, or 1E5 feet above
the deck The clubtopsan and spars To-
gether weigh about two tons. which is also
the weight of the mainsail and gait COM
bined.
It is reported that more ballast was put
into the Reliance after the Sound race, in
which she so narrowly defeated the Con-

Racing at Detroit.

Detroit, July Twelve horses in a
steeplechase race is what drew out all
the enthusiasm of a big crowd at High
land Park, and the contest through the
infield was filled with exciting situa-
tons. Hieaway led all the way and
won by a close margin from Lord
Farondale, with Maple Sugar in third
place. At the second last jump Pres
grave stumbled over the obstacle and
threw Jockey Lahey. The latter arose
only to be knocked down by the horses
in the rear. The lad escaped without
serious injury. Lahey lost his stirrup
early in the race and rode under a ham
dicap. Sweeney pulled up Sol when his
saddle broke. Ten of the twelve horses

Fort Scott again took two games from
LeaVenworth. Both were well played,
considering a heavy gale which pre-

PLAYING PIG AND PUP.

Space is given the above for com
ment only. Bob Lincoln, son of the
famous emancipation, said, Damn a
mugwump," and amens to it are still
in order. The middle ground" occu-
pied by the P~I is nothing more nor
less than a mugwump's position, which
and, in the eyes of the truly manly
man, is most damnably despicable. Dr..
Crum would be just as thoroughly OBJ
jectionable in Seattle, or in any other
city north of the Mason and Dixon
line, as he is in Charleston, and even
more so. In Charleston half of the
population is of the same race and
color, theoretically speaking, as DR..
Crum, and one of the cardinal prin-
ciples of this country being the sub
mission to the will of the majority.
then why is it not meet and proper
for the president to some extent Off
cially recognize a majority of the
voters of South Carolina. Had the i'm
mortal Lincoln took a similar view of
the great controversy between the
North and the South as does the P.-I.
on the DR.. Crum controversy the ac-
cursed institution of slavery would TO-
day be flourishing in the United
States. No official position that might
be sought by either DR.. Crum or any
one else of his race, unless it was
minister to Dahomany, would be any
more fayorably looked upon by the
Anglo-Saxons than the collectorship of
Charleston now filled by DR.. Crum,
though against bitter protest from the
AnglO-SaXons of that locality, and
even by some, for example the P.-l,
in other sections. 1t should not be
forgotten that the P.-I. refused to
make mention of the fact that the late
Republican King county convention had
secretary, and it did so for no other
reason than because the secretary of
that convention was of the same race

Too Much Editorial.

No newspaper in the northwest is
so noted for heavyweight editorials
as the Post Intelligencer, but no one
would have thought that they were
heavy enough to break down the side
walk in front of a contemplated struc-
ture in which it is to soon be quar-
tered That seems to be a fact, as the
sidewalk in front of the excavation on
First avenue and University street,
where an edifice is to be erected which
is to be the home of the P.I., has
completely given away and will entail
a loss of a couple of thousand dollars
to the constructors. All of this might
have been completely obviated had the
P.-I. management exercised a bit of
precaution during the time the eX-
cavation for the foundation of its new
home was going on and given it's
heavyweight editorial writer a few
weeks vacation. Even mountain of
granite. much less some inferior press
ed brick, would give way if you con
tinue to pile great loads of Weighty
matter on it. In future let the P.-l.
beware and tighten its editorial loads,
if not permanently at least until the
foundation of it's building is finished.

DICK SMITH soUEALED.

This paper is of the opinion that all
forms of gambling and gambling
houses should be closed up by either
the police or the sheriff, both from
statutory as we'll as from a moral
standpoint. but when men, supposedly
of sound Judgment, seek gambling
holes for the purpose of skinning some
one else. but themselves get skinned,
as Richard Smith claims he did at the
Colored Porters Club, as a moralist
he is deserving of very little sympathy
from the general public, and if the
prosecuting attorney would kick such
men out of his Office when they come
there to sneer to complaints against
the proprietors of such places he
would get more whole soul approval
from the moral element of the com
munity than for him TO issue way
rants for their arrests, though they
are convicted. Men like Smith are too
mean and despicable to even be ac-
corded a respectable hearing when
they appeal to the law under the con-
ditions which he did, and had he lost
his head instead of his money in the
club, the world, perhaps, would have
been better of. God speed the day
when gambling will be a thing of the
past in this city, and likewise God
speed the day when such sour doughs
as Smith are also driven from the
city. The resort, so long as he was
winning, was "all the world to him, y
but no sooner than he lost few cents
