Last Sunday the Lafayette
Juniors went to Crowley and
played a game of ball with the
Juniors of that town. The Lafa-
yette team arrived in Crowley at
about 2 80 and was received and
well treated by the Crowleyites.
One hour later the game was
called with Guidry in the box for
Crowley, striking out three men
in succession. r. Meaux, OF La
fayette, then took the box, pitch
ing good game, having struck
out eighteen men without hit

suited in a score of 10 to - in
favor of Crowley. The same
teams will play IN Lafayette to-
morrow afternoon at $50. All
turn out and show an in
terest in, and encourage our

Hon. w. F. Bryan, at the Good Roads
Convention held in St. Louis, said:
The Improvement Of the country roads
can be justified also the ground that the
farmer, the first and most important of the
producers of wealth, ought to be in a nosi
ton t" hold his crop and market it at the
most favorable opportunity, whereas at
present he is virtually under compulsion to
sell 1t as soon as it is matured, because the
ROADS may become impossible at any time
during the fall, winter spring. Instead of
beng his own warehouseman, the farmer is
compelled to employ middemen and share
with them the profit upon his labor. The
that will enable him to go to town, to
church, to the schoolhouse and to the
homes of his neighbors, as occasion NAV re-
quire and with the extension of rural de-
livery he has additional need for rood
roads, in order that he may be kept in Com
munity with the outside world
1t is important for the welfare of our
government and for the Improvement of our
that we make life unon the farm
as attractive as possible.
No man ever spoke truer words There
is nothing that will contribute SO much to
the happiness, wealth and prosperity of a
as good roads. The farmers and
land owners receive about nine. tenths of the
profits accruing from the benefits of having
good roads. Why shouldn't they turn out
and help build them when their crops are !

For several reasons; in the first place the

port, co. 900 gallons, and it is proposed to
hire pump, capable of giving six streams
from IN-inch nozzles, throwing $50 gal
ons eac h per minute.
But as the quantity of water cannot be
driven through an eight-inch pipe, the en-
sneers suggest that the nozzle be reduced to |
Is inch, which would give superior verti-
;al throw. The cost of this new work is |
estimated at about $4,000.

THE kAIsER'S CUP.

Emperor's Offer Was Eot Satasfac-
 tory to the New York Club.
 BERLIN, Nov. 30. = Although the seasons of Emperor William for with drawing his offer of cup for a trans atlantic yacht race are regarded by his yachting advisers as sufficient, there were other considerations that made withdrawal of the trophy for next season the easiest way out of the tan. gle caused by the inability of the New York Yacht club and the Atlantic Yacht club to agree on the subject.
 The original purpose of Emperor William was to have the race for the ctS managed jointly by the New York Yacht club and the Atlantic Yacht club, of both of which clubs he is a member, and the royal yacht squad ron of Cowes and the Imperial Yacht club of kiel. Previously Sir Thomas Upton had offered a cup to the At lantic Yacht club for an ocean race in 1904; but, learning that Emperor Will liam desired to give a trophy, Commo- dore Tod of the Atlantic Yacht club sent cablegram to Sir Thomas asking if he would withdraw and permit the emperor to offer a cup. Commodore Tod's cablegram was marked ''pri- Yates" Sir Thomas, however, on Oct. 27 telegraphed Emperor William his withdrawal. and the emperor, suppos- ing from Sir Thomas telegram that everything had been arranged in the United States, replied to Sir Thomas on Oct. 2S, thanking him for his mag nanimity, saying that he would have his ambassador offer cup.
 The inability of the New York Yacht club. and the Atlantic Yacht club to agree with regard ito the matter was met by a proposal made by Emperor William that he would give cup in 1904 to the Atlantic Yacht club, pro- vided the New York Yacht club would enter its yachts in the race, and one to the New York Yacht club in 1905 for race, in which the Atlantic Yacht club would enter, thus avoiding joint management of the cups. This was not satisfactory to the New York Yacht club, and the emperor therefore with drew his. offer, as the time is now too short to get new boats ready for race next year.

 Are Matched.

Will Meet in a Six Round Bout in

 proved and is on His Way East
 Tuthtll Will Train Young Corbett
 Again--Other Fight News.
 Tommy Ryan and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien have signed articles to meet in six-ronnd bout before one of the Philadelphia clubs.
 This bout has hung fire for & long time. and now that the men have come to an agreement. the lovers of boxing have in store a fstic treat of the first water.
 The men have agreed upon George Siler, who refereed the Corbett-Fitz- simmons fight at Carson City, to do the honors for them. but it is hardly likely that he will be called upon to toll off the fatal ten seconds, as the men have worldwide regulations as being the cleyerest boxers in the busi- ness.
 Ryan's fame as a hitter is well known, and his wonderful cleverness has placed him at the head of his class.
 O'Brien. besides being a clever box CT, has all the earn1arks of the fighter, and the patrons of the sport in Phila> delphia say that he is the most aggres- sive fighter of his weight in the world. Both Ryan and O'Brien are claimants for the nniddleweight championship, and battle between the pair has been looked forward to with consider able interest by the critics. ".
 The agreement entered into between the fighters is that if both men are on their feet at the end of the final round a proposition for a twenty-round bout will be entertained from one of the big clubs of the west. where long fights are permitted

Wonderful Record at Road Walking
 From London to Brighton.

IOu LOAUSu lO DElguGOD. H
 Road walking still continues to hold popular attention in and around Lon- don, and the interest has been fntensi- fled tenfold since the advent of the au- tun1n weather. Events given by the Surrey Walking club are always pro- ,ductive Of something rare, but the one recently "from London to Brighton and back revealed the most astounu- ing bit of road trampfng ever seen in England, and incidentally lowered the record by big margin.
 A little more than year ago this same club had a walk over the same ground, and J. Butler. the present Eng fish walking champion, covered the 104 miles of highway in 21 hours, 36 minutes. 27 seconds, making a new record. He was not among the start CTS in this last race. but the most nota- ble competitors were H. W. Horton, F. J. Wakefield, H. E. Lang, E. c. Wray. E. H. Neville and Fl. Tan Pool, all well known enthusiasts of the sport. The start occurred at the Swan and Sugar Loaf, South Croydon, at 9:22 o'clock on a Friday evening, and Wakefield cut out the pace at noder- ate speed and ree1ed off the first 2OA miles in hours, 52 minutes, and the same time was returned for Wray. Morton's time was 3 hours, 57 minutes, and the others were not far behind At the Southam Bottom they ran into a fog. but at the Temperance hotel Coulsden, Wakefield and Horton had some tea and forged ahead for the climb across Merstham Hill. When they reached Mutton's hotel, Wake field, who felt bit fagged, decided to have some soup. and Horton pressed forward in the lead.
 All through the nighr the pair reg~ ged away over the lonely roads and at Crawley in the moruing Horton had a four minute lead on Wake field. who was moving well. At tbe Brighton Aquarium, which was designated as the turning point, the Usu;. crowd had collected. and Horton struck it at 9:30 o'clock. just fifteen seconds ahead of Wakefield, The leaders, time for the G2A miles was 12 hours s minutes. Feeling confident that hA could over- haul Horton at any time, Wakefield had q light breakfast wh;;e Horton kept going. Pool Wcay and Neville were twenty-five, minutes behind the leaders at Brighton. At this point Horton put on full steam and reached the Queens Head at Bolney, 7s1s miles, in IA hours. 50 minutes, and passed through Redhill, 94 miles, in 1s hours, 23 minutes well ahead Of Rut- ler's record at this point, and had lead of two and half miles on Wake field. Nearing Windsor Castle ard just mile from home, Horton showed signs Of weakness. but glass of champagne revived him and he step ped by the finish post in 20 hours, 31 minutes. 63 seconds. beating all pre- vious records. The previous best was q hours, 36 minutes, 27 seconds. Wakefield came strong at the end, his time being 20 hours, 55s minutes, and Neville q hours. B minutes, 50 sec onds, these two being inside the rec ord figures as well. Five of the start CTS got the gold medal for doing the Journey inside of A hours. Horton and Wakefield belong to the Herne Hill Harriers.

San Francisco, Nov 3o.---The John son-F Ferguson match at Colina has been postponed until December Il, the rea- son given being that repairs must be made to Mechanics Pavilion, but the real reason is said to be that so much disgust was expressed over the Fitz- Gardner fight that it was thought. best to give the public a little time to for get that encounter. Sandy Ferguson was introduced last Wednesday, but he did not make a good impression in his street clothes. He has pleased those who have seen, him box, as he is not only very strong but is light on his feet and a clever boxer. .s
