very heavy track. The stake event was

Castalian following closely and the rest
of the field punched, Counterpoise, en-
Albany horse, who had been backed
from 2 to / down to O to 5, was third
at the start. The positions were I'M
changed at the quarter pole, but Cas-
Italian took the lead at the three-eighths
mark and was never headed, Toscan
finishing second by two lengths in a
drive and Virgin Soil by three-quartars
of a length. Counterpoise finished
fourth. half length ahead of Foxy
Kane.

of Judge Brady what is believed to
have been an attempt at ringing" was

two-year-old of fa's' class. has been
running unplaced in poor fields of
horses for some time. Untrue opened
at 90 to / and was heavily played, go

scRAPPERs WE'RE ARRESTED.

Dave Sullivan, brother of Spike
Sullivan, and John Critic, the light
weight pugilists were in the Yorkville
police court yesterday for fighting In
Third avenue, near Fourteenth street,
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning Critic
had cut under the left eye and that
side of his face was pretty we'll bruis-
ed The other mans upper lip was cut
and swollen. The fight Vas without
gloves and was witnessed by small
crowd of men and women.
1t was said that the trouble was
caused hy the rivalry of the two over
q young woman, who seemed to prefer
Critic to the other man and had ac-
cepted his escort home. After the
two had spared for an opening Critic
landed on Sullivan's jaw and followed
it with swinging blow on his mouth,
Sullivan got back on his rival with a
singing right handler on thelefteye that
drew blood Another blow on the nose
made Critic see more stars than were
visible to the people who stood around
in the rain and staggered him, Before
he could recover Sullivan gave him
another blow that sent him to the
ground.
"He's out of business, remarked a
man in the crowd as Policeman Benja-
min came up, arrested the fighters and
took them to the Fifth street station,
when were you arrested before?"
asked Magistrate Barlow, as he look
ed at their battered faces.
Never" both answered.
Tell the truth, now. have a good
memory for faces. Were you not be-
fore me some time ago."
'No, SIR they replied.
'They have fought in public a num-
Der of times, your honor, hut always
in the ring and with gloves on,'' their
lawyer explained.

NO BETTING ON BIG FIGHT,

New York sporting men are surprls-
ed over the lack of betting IN the com
ing fight between Jim Jeffrles ana jun
Corbett. Although the date OF the con-
test is less than ten days off, no Wagefs
Of note have been made. The champion
is warm favorite at 27a to on. Inc
absence Of Corbett money is explained
only by the assumption that goou
Judges believe he has no chance OF
winning. and that 1t is a waste OF mon
ey to back him. Yet Corbett only
few wears ago met the boilermaker
and stood twenty-three rounds against
him. At the time he was thought 20
be- dead one too.
Reports from the training quarters
of both pugilists state that the rivals
are in the best of condition. Corbett,
who always is conscientious in his
training, has worked very hard for
this fight. The fact that Tommy Ryan
is to be in Corbett's corner has buoyed
his friends with renewed confidence,
and probably few days before the
mill they will back him. Ryan knows
all of Jeffries's weak points and Is a
past master when it comes to coaching
q man in the ring Ryan is more than
confident that Corbett will be the win
ner and his judgment always has been
good
Bob Fitzsimnons, who also knows
a thing or two about pugilists, says
Jeffries will n3 the conqueror in less
than ten rounds.

AN INTERNATIONAL MATCH

There is every indication that an in
ternational fight between Young Cor
bett and Ben Jordan will be arranged
within few weeks, Jordan, it Ii said,
Is coming here and will arrive the lat
ter part of this month or the first week
in October. When Jack O'Brien or
Philadelphia went to England recently
he was authorized by Harvey Pollok.
Young Corbett's manager to see if he
could induce the Englishman to meet
the Denver man. O'Brien saw Jor-
dan and it is understood that all ne
gotiations for the match have been
completed.
If the match is to be decided it will
take place before the Yosemite A G. in
October or November. Some time ago
this organization offered a purse of
$1,000 for the scrap and it may go as
high as $4,000. Corbett prefers to
meet Jordan on a percentage basis, as
in this way he believes he can make
more money if he is successful. Jor-
dan will receive liberal expenses to
come here, and the club may allow him
$1,000, which he has already asked for.
Jordan is one of the best pugilistic
products England has turned out in
years, but whether be will meet Cor
bett at 126 pounds, as the American
suggests is another matter. Jordan is
nominally 124-pounder, and has been
known to fight at less weight than this.
The alluring offer and expense money
may induce him to agree to any rea-
sonable terms. According to dis
patch from Chicago, Corbett's next
bout will be with Young Mowatt for
six rounds, before one of the Philadel-
phia clubs some time this month.

Somnambulist Had to Stay In tho
Lookup Just the Same.


One night not long since a watch
man at Kittanering, N. Y, found one
of the most respectable citizens of the
town roaming the streets in his night
robe. The officer very promptly
placed the man under arrest and
directed his steps toward the city
bastile. A rather rude jolt at a
street crossing woke the citizen up.
He at once became aware that he was
being piloted by the policeman and
few moments of observation convinc-
ed him he was not going toward home.
Then he spoke.
What are you doing with me,
1om?" inquired the man.
oh, I've got you for walking
around the streets in your chemise,"
said the officer. That's against the
law. you know"
You're not going to lock me up"
said the citizen in astonishment.
why, don't you know | am a SOM
nambulist?"
Il don't care what church you be-
long to-" retorted Tom, you're out on
the street in clothes not fit to be
seen. it's my duty to arrest you, and

And in he went until friends
brought street clothing and got him

GIANT MUSHROOMS.
In England They Grow Almost As
Laroe as Umbrellas.

The statement in yesterdays Ex-
press that great quantities OF mush.
rooms are being found in the rural
districts around Colchester mas
brought in several letters from other
parts of the country, says the London
Express. All our correspondents state
that they are enjoying the delights OF
mushroom picking, and one OF them
adds that this is the best tonic Tor
the season. Two correspondents have
found mushrooms which they consider
to be of unusual size. What is an un-
usual size for n mushroom is very
much discussed matter, but we give
our correspondents the credit of their
finds.
"Paterfamilias" writes from High
Wycombe to this effect:
~ ne day before yesterday was out
in the fields with my TWO children. II
was the sort of day to which we have
got accustomed to now-when rain Is
regarded as probable every other min-
ute. l mention this to explain what
follows. My children had gone on
ahead of me when l was struck by
their attitude. 1 could not see exactly
what they were doing, as l am short
sighted, but they were coming toward
me with something over their heads.
1t turned out to be very large mush-
room, and they were pretending that
1t was n fairy's umbrella. l had no
measure with me, and before we got
home the mushroom had been Clipped
a good deal, owing to the children let
ting it fall, but l feel sure that it was
at least ten or twelve inches In diam
eter. This surely constitutes a rec
ord.'
But the supposed record is soon
beaten. Our other correspondent has
found bigger mushroom. Writing
from North lent, he says:
II was looking for mushrooms yes
terday morning, when 1 came across a
patch of the biggest l have ever seen,
all together in field. They all
seemed to run from ten inches to n
foot across, anu after looking about
for some time l found one that
eclipsed all the others in size. l took
it home carefully and had it measured.
1t was just under thirteen inches
across, but was only three inches in
the stem. My wife and l made good
meal Off it."

THE season of catching cold is upon us.
The cough and the sneeze and the
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand The origin of chronic catarrh. the most
common and dreadful OF diseases, is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen
orally begins. A person catches cold. which
hangs on longer than usual. The cold gem
orally starts in the head and throat. Then
follows sensitiveness of the air passages
which incline one to catch cold very easily
AT last the person has cold all the while

nose. hawking. splitting. frequent clearing
of the throat. nostrils stopped up. full feel

A Flying Boat.

Gustav Koch of Berlin proposes to
construct a boat which will be able to
fly. The experiment. he says, will be
conducted on water, by means OF
which the danger of cross-country trial
trips would be avoided. He recently
showed to the German Society of
Aerial Navigation his invention. which
consists of low, fiat and light motor
boat floating on the surface of the
water. 1t has adjustable steering ap
paratus and horizontal sails.
