HUNDREDS VIEW HANLON'S
TRAINING PREPARATIONS
Little Californian Is In Splendid Trim
for His Bout With Cham
piOn COrbett


Eddie Hanlon showed his many ad-
mirers who visited his training camp
at CrolPs Gardens yesterday afternoon
that he is in condition to put up a fast
fight, hand out all brands OF money
winning punches and take his share OF
the punishment without feeling bad or
dizzy about It, Six hundred persons
crowded into the little fighters gym
nasium to see him go four fierce rounds
with Fred Landers and Jack Burke.
He took on each opponent alternately.
and the fast pace they set for Eddie did
not appear to affect his breathing ma
chinery.
Landers used a straight left on Han
len, and the latter retanated with
some uppercuts that made the recipient
long for a soft spot on his chair. In his
second round with Burke. HanIon
worked his famous guard on the other
man, who, try as he would. could not
penetrate the pile Of gloves that seemed
to cover Eddie's head and jaw. Toward
the close of the round Hanlon came
out like a turtle and scored a swing on
Burke's chin that rocked the latter. who
would have gone to the floor had not
Harry Foley. who was near by. held him
up. Hanlon's appearance pleased his
friends. 1t was the general opinion that
he has improved in his hitting powers
He does not swing as frequently as he
was wont to do. and his blows now
have the sting in them that begets re-
suits.
Young Corbett did some road work
yesterday, and in the afternoon did
some light exercising in the gymna-
SUM.

WHITES DEFEAT
RED POLOISTS
Superior Team Work Of the Vic
Eors Carries the Day for Them
on the Burlingame Field
R. NJ. TOBIN'S CLEVER PLAY
Veteran Scores Several Goals
and Is in the Thick of
the Scrimmages Throughout

The poloists in white administered a
crushing defeat TO the reds yesterday
on the Geld Of the Burlingame Country
Club. The score was eight goals TO
two. A large gallery watched the ex-
citing play throughout, evidencing the
marked interest taken in the game this
season.
The comedy Of the game was fur
nished by Charley Dunphy. who played
number one for the whites. To him
was delegated the task Of riding off,
Lawrence McCreery, one Of the strong
est Of the opposing players. Dunphy
did his work well. No matter in which
direction the ball was driven and de-
spite the most desperate riding on the
part Of AIcCreery, he could not reach
it, Several times Dunphy allowed him
the pleasure Of a stroke at the bail, but
at the proper moment he would give
McCreery's arm a slight touch and he
would miss the shot by a wide margin.
McCreery was angry and showed il, but
that did not help matters. It only tend
ed TO increase the hilarity Of the spec
tators.
II is claimed by experts that Dunphy
has hardly an equal at this game in
any country, especially when he is as
well mounted as he is at present
The veteran r. n. Tobin played the
star game Of the day. He scored five
of the eight goals made by his team
and was in the thickest Of every scrim-
mage. He showed 10 particular ad-
vantage on his gray pony Rosina,
which has a great turn Of speed.
The teams were made UP as follows:
Whites Reds
R. d. Iobin, T. a. DriscolI.
=. 45s~s31- Ps'i.f-7,,.,..r T j ,5o.s Caroian'
The game was the first Of the season
in which six periods Of ten minutes
each were played. Il was also one Of
the fastest games, although a number
or new ponies were used, and the field
being soft was badly cut up. The reds
scored their first goal soon after play
commenced. Lawrence McCreery send
ing the ball between the posts. Tom
Dllscou scored the second and last
goal for his team in the third period.
a pony blocked his first try for goal,
but at the second attempt he scored.
Lawrence 8fcCreery's fighting spirit
vas aroused by Dunphy's riding off
tactics and he played a desperate game
in the fourth period. He ran the ball
across the field once, but Lawson
drove outside and prevented him from
scoring.
In addition 10 the FIVE goals contrib
uted 10 the whites by R. ". Tobin
Ch1.ley Dunphy scored one and c.
RaOUl-Duval two.
The play at Burlingame suffers from
lack q team work, each man playing
on his own account. Instead Of driv-
ing tie ball 10 the center there is a
tendency 70 get possession and then
try TO handle IL alone.
There will be no game on Christmas

self a great piece of engineering. There
will be one loop in the line and 1t will
be more than twenty miles long. The
tunnel, of course, will go thr rough the
continental divide in much shorter
distance. but 1t is considered import
ant by the officers of the road to get
the line into running order SO that
trains may cross the range with sup
plies and traffic begun pending the
completion OF the tunnel.
This switchback will begin about
twelve miles beyond Rollinsville and
will wind around over the divide in
some what circuitous route.
This is another step" said General
Manager Ridgway of the Construction
company yesterday. ''in the advance of
the line to Salt Lake City. This will
bring the line over into Grand county
and the Middle Park district. and will
be one of the difficult pieces of work.
We have to use this expedient of the
temporary track in order to get the
road completed early and to get trains
running into Salt Lake City. The prob
able cost will be in the neighborhood
of $275 900 though 1t may be more or
trifle less than that amount. Work
will begin Immediately and some time
next year early we will have trains
running on the line. Work on the rest

Anti-Merser Case Decision.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Aug. Judge Lo-
chern yesterday in the United States
Circuit Court handed down his decision
in the case of the state OF Minnesota
against the Northern Securities Com
pany, the Great Northern Railway
Company. the Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company, and James ]. Hill, as
president of the Northern Securities
Company. and individually, in which
he sustained the contentious of the
defendants and dismissed the bill of
complaint of the state. The judge re-
fused the injunctions asked by the
state of Minnesota, to restrain the Sc
curities company from voting the stock
of the two railroad companies, or eth
er of them.
This decision affects the results OF
the federal governments victory in
the Circuit court in no way whatever.
The federal suit involved the same de-
PENDANTS and the same general state
of facts. but was based on totally
different contention of law. The fed
eral suit. in which the Securities COM
pany was beaten, was prosecution for
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law passed by the federal congress.
The state suit, in which the Securi-
ties company wins. was based on an
allegation that the defendants violat-
ed acts of the Minnesota Legislature,
forbidding the consolidation of paral-
lei and competing lines of railway.

Denver. Aug. 2.-Yesterday q marked
another epoch in the history of the
new Moffat road when the Colorado
Utah Construction Company. which is
building the road. let the contract for
the construction of the temporary
track over the continental divide to
Streeter & Lusk of Chicago.
The consideration for the construc-
tion of the road bed is announced at
S275. 900. Streeter & Lusk will sublet
portions of the work and pay premiums
for rapid work. The work of the
switchback, as 1t is called, is to begin
Immediately and the contract states
that dirt must actually fly by the 18th
of August. There were six other firms
which bid for the work.
The work on this branch of the line
will be largely in rock and the cost per
mile will be high. The switchback will
begin near the mouth of the tunnel on
this side of the range and will extend
over into Fraser canon on the other
side of the range near the west side
opening of the tunnel. There will be
about 1900 men employed, and the
work is to be completed by May 1st OF
next year.
The road is to be temporary, to
take the place of the tunnel. which
cannot be completed inside of two
years. The switchback will be in it.

Pie and Puritanism.

The decadence of Puritanism is
chiefly due to various preparations of
saw dust being eaten for breakfast
throughout New England, instead of
the cold pie which was formerly the
piece de resistance of the matutinal
meal there.
Cold pie eaten for breakfast gets
in its work while yet the nervous
force, recruited by sleep, is largely
unspent. The result is the fierce, ag-
gressive, hatefulness that is the very
life of Puritanism.
But cold pie for lunch or dinner
merely brings on gloomy and profit
less apath. 1t might as well never
be eaten. from the religious point of
view.
1t is worth any mans while to eat
cold pie for breakfast n time or two,
if only in order to appreciate the fine
irony of Baxter's Saints Rest.-Life.

DRUGGISTS Fatal Error.

Colorado Springs, Aug. 2.-The mis-
take of a druggist in substituting
strychnine for calomel in prescrip-

Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan Chisholm. one
of the wealthiest and most prominent

Mr.. Gutmann admits that by mis-
take he took the drug from the wrong

DENVER CHARTER
is COMPLETED

Denver. August AT five minutes
before midnight last night the pro-
posed charter for Greater Denver,
signed and attested, was given to the
clerk of city and county. and the ques-
tion of its adoption is now before the
voters.
Amendments to the document were
completed at 3 o'clock in the afternoon
and the rest of the time was taken In
having 1t printed, revised and bound.
and the race with time was so close
and exciting at periods that 1t might
have been prearranged as dramatic
close to the proceedings OF delibera-
tive body strangely free from excite
,ment.
The charter is remarkable in several
ways; 1t is the only one for munich
.pality that was ever left to the direct
vote of the people to determine Its ac-
.ceptance or rejection without 1nterfer-
ence of a state Legislature.
1t makes provision for the appoint
ment of a sheriff by the mayor and
places that office under civil service
rules.
The convention that prepared it had
three women members on. perfect
equality with the men and they lett
their impress on the document In
manner most characteristic OF woman
kind-humane provisions for the care
of the unfortunate and distressed.
In brief. the charter gives almost un-
limited authority to the mayor In the
conduct of city and county affairs, and
contains names for two boards OF i'm
portance-an electoral and civil ser
Woo commission within itself,
The long tension, since December l.
1902. with city and county under pro-
visional government since the procla-
nation of Article 20, will do great
deal to cause the adoption of the pro-
posed charter and end the uncertainty.

The government has gone in for
sponge culture. The supply of sponges
has never equaled the demand, and
we have been importing most of those
required for the domestic trade.
Successful experiments have been
conducted and the actual work OF
planting sponges off the coast of Flor

propagation are of the sheeps.head va

Quireme MT Er. II. f. Moore, assistant
commissioner of fish and fisheries. de-
vised the method of planting.
The sponges are cut in small pieces,
from one to two inches in diameter.
These small fragme of the living
sponge. which are dark in color. the
pores filled with fieshy matter, are
firmly fastened to pieces of coral, rock
or terra Gotta brick and dropped over
board. Thin aluminium wire is used
for fastening them to the objects. The
use of the aluminium wire is the solu-
tion of the difficulty which confronted
the experimenters. The pieces of
sponge have one outer skin intact,
with the outer edges raw. The latter,
however, quickly heal. The aluminium
wire will, of course, pierce the sponge
and form small bore, or hole, through
them. The wire corrodes; but this is
an advantage. for 1t gradually wears
away, leaving the sponge free of any
foreign substance.
Most of the difficulties attending the
culture have been met with in attempt
ing to find something to bind the
sponges to the rocks which would last
long enough for the growth to attach
itself naturally to the new bed. The
aluminium wire does this. Wood, string.
copper and iron wire and other sub
stances were attacked by the salt
water and animal life and rendered
useless.
Sponges are being planted at Bis

States will be raised in the waters oJ
