Two Arabs Who Are Up Tn the
 Wrestling Game.
 Harvey Parker says his ssunknownn whom he wishes to match against John Fleming at 165 pounds is Ed Atherton of Batavia, N. r., the middleweight cafch-as-catch-can champion of Ameii ca T am willing to wager $1OO," adds Parker. that when Fleming learns who my man is he will not make match.''
 Jack Carkeelz of America who has been in England for several years, en- ga aged in an interesting wrestling bout in London the other day, his opponent being an unknown" of French ex- traction The contest was to a finish at mixed style. Although Carkeekss s rival overtopped the latter by inches and i'll weight by over twenty height pounds, the American was the victor Carkeek's opponent appeared to be very powerful, but Carkeek, by clever work, gained the first fall in Il min utes and 47 seconds at catch-as-catch- can style. The next bout under Graeco- Roman rules, was taken by Carkeek, with half Nelson in II min utes and 45 seconds. The match was attended by very large crowd.
 Negotiations are still under way for a wrestling match between Hacken- schmidt and Jack Carkeek. Some time ago Hackenschmidt offered to make a match in winch he agreed to throw Car keek ten times in an hour or forfeit the entire purse and gate receipts. In ans wer to this Carkeek writes to the Lon don Sporting Life: ''In reference to Hackenschmidt's challenge I must again remind him that he issued q challenge to me a year ago which I ac- cepted. We met and I agreed to make the match and posted forfeit Hack enschmidt had no more to say. But if he will not ratify a match under the conditions he specified last year I will offer the following: will make a match if he will stick to his assertion of last Tuesday in which he says lie will bet 5000 to $500 that he defeats me in Graeco- Roman and catch as catch-can style ten times in one hour. It is now up to him to talk business. If he does not answer at once I will ig- nore him in the future.'
 There nave Just arrived 1n England two Arabs, Murad and Cajoli, who have great regulations in their own country. They were discovered by Antonio Pierri, the Terrible Creek who introduced Youssof over here. Murad and Cajoh are about , feet ! inches tall, but their girth is somewhat out of proportion to their altitude. Mnrad weighs 2O9 pounds, while Ca- joli tips the beam at 22O pounds. Pierri has great confidence in his men and of fers to match them against any wresi- Ter in the world, the puissant George Hackenschmidt included. Cajoli is said to be a very strong man. If Pierri cannot find any one to meet his charges in England he says he will vist the United States next fall, ready to match Cajoli and Murad against Jenkins, Nc Leod or any of the big men. Pierri is willing to bet on their chances. Pierri has posted forfeit with the London Sporting Life to match CajoI against Hali Adali, Turk, and is willing to give $23O to charity if Ad- ali gains even one fall

ter conditions this year were perfect for the big regatta and the largest crowd that has ever witnessed the event looked on The varsity crew of Cornell evidently outclassed all the others, as they finished the course of four miles six lengths ahead of the next boat, covering the distance in 18:57. The Georgetown crew nosed out the men from Wisconsin and finished second by a short margin, with Pennsylvania, syracuse and Go iumbia trailing behind the latter. In the freshman race Cornell broke the record of 9:19A for the two miles, made by Yale in 1897, going the route in SIS. Syracuse and Wisconsin finished second and third respectively, with Columbia fourth and Pennsyl- vania fifth. In the varsity four-oared race of two miles the Cornell team won in 10:34. Pennsylvania finished sec on in this, with Wisconsin third and Columbia fourth.
 The oarsman from Yale university also demonstrated their superiority over those of Harvard by winning all three events in the annual regatta be- tween the two colleges on the Thames river at New London, Conn Yale four took the first race by three com fortable lengths in 10:59 2-5. The New Haven freshmen. in a closer race, finished a length and three-quarters ahead of the Harvard youngsters in 9:43 Is. In the big race Harvard, aft CT leading for a mile. rowed pluckily to defeat at the hands of Yale's men, who in the last half of the contest con- trolled the situation in unmistable style. It was the first time that Yale has won all three events since the re gatta reached it's present programme. Yale's time in the big race was 20:19 4-5, within 94-5 second of the record of the course. The freshmen's record was broken by Yale's time of 9:43 1-5.

It is a very funny thing that Thom- as would desert the Springfield team if he, was offered an increase ill sal ary. That increase must have been like some other increases that were of fered in this city. It would have paid the management of the Springfield team to have doubled the salary of Thomas just now when there is so much need for players on the Spring field team.
 Red Waller will make a valuable pitcher for Jim O'Rourke, but there is just one thing that the genial Jim must remember. Waller will not stand for a call down. He is too prone to having a fit of the sulks and if he does get into one of those dreams it will be all off with any game he is pitching in. He can pitch, lie can bat and he can field his position, but that one bad failing will crop out
 A sharp trick of Joe Connor's has just come to light and it is told by some of Joe's closest friends in this city. It appears that on Memorial day the crowd was so immense that was trying to force an entrance into the grounds at Springfield that Joe or someone else conceived the idea that it would be a good thing to create q new entrance. That entrance was created for Joe ripped 8 board off the fence out in the field and proceeded to take the quarters of the crowd de- manding admission. It is said that something over $7O had been taken in at this improvised gate of admission.

Bridgeport, July 6.-Corcoran won his own game yesterday by two-bag- ger in the eighth. No runs were made up to that time and it looked. like an extra inning. Hartford failed to make a hit or run, but the fielding was perfect. Neither of the errors by Bridgeport affected the score.

where the latter lost the match. three down and one to play. The victory and the form shown by Miss Anthony are of especial interest because they indicate that the west will have a formidable candidate this year for the national woman's championship, held in the fall. Western players have in the past annexed their fair share of the championship honors, as the sue cesses of the professionals Foulis, Herd w. Smith and Auchterlonie in the open event, and of amateurs Mac Donald, Whigham and James in the amateur event testify. So far as the scroll of honor in the women's cham pionship is, concerned, however, there has been distressing vacancy as far as western names are concerned. If there is any one player west of the AL legheny mountains capable of upset ting the line of successes of the east ern players it is Miss Anthony, and on her the hopes of the west will to a large extent center when the women experts meet on the links of the Chi cago Golf club at Wheaton. The play at the recent tournament showed good form and Improvement in at least two other players, Miss Carpenter and Mrs w A. Alexander. This year the eastern representatives will be playing on unfamiliar links, handicap the westerners have had to face for sever al seasons. Taken all together the chances are very bright for western journey for the next women's open championship in the game of golf.

Old Time Whaling.

The Emiiy's cruise produced not far
from S43. 900 in oil, not counting what
she sold ON the coast of South America.
The green hands, who sailed on a two
hundredth lay, should have received from
this oil $215 each for the cruise that
was fOrty-two months long, or S5.371b n
month. From this, of course, they had TO
pay for the clothes they bought from the
captain. or what is called the slop bill.
Mr.. Hale's slop bill amounted to about
$50 year, and, judging from the list,
1t is likely that the foreeastle men did
not buy much less.
Capt. Luce. with his lay of 9 per cent.
should have Aad due ordinarily $3.50 for
the three years and six months, or. saw.
$64 a month. Mr.. Hale does not tell
what his lay was, but if he averaged SIG
a month for the voyage he was doing as
well IS third mates usually did. Ia con-
sidering these figures we remember, Of
course, that good mechanics used to work
for $3.50 a day on shore previous to the
Civil war, that the crew received their
board in addition 20 their wages and
that even now hrst-class farm hands
work for $50 a month and board. and
even less.
The owners share of the oil was two.
thirds, or, say, $2S, 900, but he paid all
expenses of the outfit. It is a fair sur-
mise to say that he cleared $4,000 wear
for the use of the ship, a profit by no
means excessive, even though the vessel
herself was probably worth no more than
half a years income, for the owner had
to take the risk of a ship making a los
ing yoyage.-Harper's Magazine.

GIVING UP FORT M'HENRY.
1t Will No Longer Be the Army Head
quarters in Maryland.

Historic Fort McIIenry is to be aban-
doned as headquarters of United States
troops in this state. Lieut. Col. Thorpe
is appointed district commander of the
'defenses to Baltimore, and the headquar-
tiers are changed to the new Fort How
ard, at North Point, another site that
figured in the Revolution. Fort Howard
is situated where the Patapsco river emp
ties into Chesapeake bay. The quarters
there are more modern and superior to
those at Fort McHenry. Only one com
pany of artillery will be continued at the
latter fort, which will be preserved be-
cause of its historic interest. 1t is now
so close in the harbor that it is OF no
value for defense. Fort Howard is ten
miles below. The section of Fort Nc
Henry where the fighting was done in the
Revolution has been occupied by only the
'quartermaster' department for some
years. The suns that defended the fort
at the time ''The Star Spangled Banner
was written are all gone. Most Of them
were borrowed from the French govern
ment at the breaking out of the Revolu-
tionary war. The large smooth-bore
guns that are now mounted at the fort
were put In place in the Civil war.
