Pass Book at Jamaica Won About
 O,0OO For His Owner.
 NEW YORK, Nov. .13-Probably the largest coup made on an eastern track this year occurred in the last race at Jamaica, when Pass Book, owned by W. c. Fessenden. in aeld~of thirteen horses, won at 30 to.1.
 By placing his money in small amounts Fessenden was able to get most of it down at 100 to l, after which the price gradually dropped to 30 to l.
 Fessenden took about $3o.0O0 from the bookmakers. Pass Book lay in a good position to the head of the stretch, when Cochran sent him to the front and won by length from Sir Shep, with the favorite, Mart Mullen, third.
 The Boulevard stakes went to Sou rire, and Sweet Alice won the Union handicap.

 Tn the preliminary game the North End, 4. c. defeated the Mattatucks by the score of 12-10.
 Reeves showed some of his old time form last night. He is one of the cas- fest and most graceful players on the floor.
 Warning is given to the other teams in the league that Waterbury has it's eye on first place. Mertden will have to look out.
 Terry Rogers of Bridgeport. the well known ball player. was the referee. He understands the game thoroughly and oficiates impartially.
 Much enthusiasm was manifested by the spectators. When the first three goals were scored by the home team inside three minutes there was a rousipg cheer which recalled the old days of polo.
 Waterbury goes to Hartford tonight to meet for the first time the Hartford team on that floor. The local players say they will return with victory and they will if they play as they have the last two games,
 Waterbury will have to trim Meri- den's sails the next time they meet, and then for a run for the pennant. Meriden has a good bunch of players. but Waterbury is getting into great form and should be able to hold any of the teams in this league.

Many persons in this city are inter- ested In the outcome of the wrestling match between Nicholas Plunkitt of this city and Harry Pierce of New Haven. The match will be held in the Gem opera house, Naugatuck, on Sat urday night, November 21. There will be a good preliminary match. Plunkitt is confident that he will defeat Pierce and his friends are anxious to back him. The New Haven boy may give them a big surprise.

 My poor mule was making frantic eff forts to break away, and would hayei done so but for the great strength of the rawhide lariat; but on hearing myI voice, purposely modulated to calm anal soothing tones, he ceased to pull, and| although trembling with deadly terrorsl stood quite still.

The Mo.uuito Destroyer.

The recent announcement of a mos- quito destroyer is commented upon in Popular Science Monthly in no very un- certain terms. 1t is pointed out that the original paper published in bulletin 13 of the public health and marine hospital service hardly justifies the newspaper claims which were made for it. Dr. Stiles, the author of the investigation, simply discovered new parasite of the mos quito, several of which were already known, and pointed out that these or- ganisrns might be of value in hold in check the mosquito plague. There are many technical difficulties in the way of 8 practical utilization of these destroy CTS" and there was in the original article no intimation that the public health service is breeding the germs in order to infect mosquitoes.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-13

however, temporarily stunned the an1- mal. He staggered back a pace or two and sank upon his launches; and then again I ran as a man can run only when his life depends upon his speed.
 "I had some hope that the jaguar was now too thoroughly eowed to renew the pursuit, but before came within 50 yards of my mule hewas close to me once more; and this time, furious with rage and the pain of his wound, he was doubly dangerous.
 Escape seemed hopeless. My arms might as well have been 50 miles away for ali the good they could do me unless could reach them, which now appeared impossible. I would have given, just then, all possessed in the world for a good hunting knife and the chance, des- perate as it was, of making fair stand up fight for my life.
 Upon how slight trife momentous events sometimes depend! I had turned about to face my enemy. not daring long CT to keep my back to him, and as thought of knife, I instinct ively thrust a hand into my pocket, and felt a match-one solitary match! A little thing indeed to save mans life. but realized that if 'it>did not; miss fire 1t might save mine.
 My motions had now to be quick as lightning. the iaguar being barely 12 feet distant, and again crouching for spring. According to my usual habit, I had, on starting out in the morning. placed in the crown of my sombrero two or three copies of the last received New York papers, partly as an additional protection from the sun, and partly to while away the time in reading as rode along.
 ''I now ierked these papers from nay hat-the unexpected motion serving to delay the jaguars spring rolled one of them into long, loose tube, and struck the lone match on my leg.
 eFortunabely at the first stroke it burst into flame. touched it to the end of the paper tube. which instantly fiared up in a bright blaze, and then be- gan to walk steadily backward.
 My hloodthirsty pursuer was utterly astounded by these tactics, and at the flash of the fire sprang off to one side; but seeing that he was not hurt, and that I still retreated, he picked up courage and sneaked after me, all the time snarl- ing and splitting exactly as cat does when attacked by a<dog, but never com
