ZOE zee &c HANDICAP.
Nominations for the $4,000 Worlds
Fair Race Have Closed.

St Louis. April Nominations for
the $4,000 Worlds fair handicap, which
is scheduled to be run at the fair
grounds in 1904 have closed. All the
New York and San Francisco entries
have not yet been received Mr.. Hach-
meister says that the Derbies of 1904
and 1906 filled we'll
So far eighty-two entries have been
received to the Worlds fair handicap
The number viii scarce be sent to 100
by the San Francisco and late New
Y Ork lot. So President TILES falls 800
horses short of his looked-for 400 en-
tries. Of course. there is another full
year as the stakes will be reopened
twice. IT is not likely that the total
entry will run over $50. Good judges
felt that 200 would be a big entry. Mr.
TITLES was sanguine that it would run
as high as 400.
AS viii be noted by the names of the
nominatOrs. it will be a good deal of a
milhonaires' stake. Half of the thirty
six nOminatOrs are very rich men and
the other half are known as turfmen
very well off. In no sense is there one

TEXAS FEVER QUARANTINE.
Southern Kansas Farmers Will Not
Allow Infected HERDS in Pastures.

Davidson. April 6.-Kansas farmers
who have farms along the state line
east of Davidson, have been making a
fight to have the stock yards at David
son closed The matter has been taken
up with the government sanitary com
mission but no decision has been made
and it is very likely the case Will be
dropped because the Missouri Pacific
live stock agent has made arrange
ments that will safely guard the prop
erty of the Kansas farmers.
1t viii be remembered that last year,
the farmers along the state line were
greatly troubled with Texas fever
among their cattle and many head
were lost. The arrangement in force
last year allowed the southern cattle
to be driven along the state line with
only narrow lane between them and
the Kansas pastures. Many, ticks drop
over into the native pastures, there
picked up by the Kansas cattle and
the disease developed.
Poor fences were also the cause of
much trouble. the southern cattle
breaking through and getting into the
native pastures
A L. Price, travelling live stock
agent for the Missouri Pacific. has
made the statement that arrangements
had been made whereby this trouble
would be eliminated. He has arranged
to drive the cattle south from the state
line to the south side of the leases in
the territory along that line. They will
then be trailed around to the Usage
pastures.
BY this arrangement there will be a
mile between the southern cattle and
the native pastures and all possibility
of the ticks being transferred will be
removed. It is understood the farmers
along the lire will consent to this ar
rangement and the matter Of closing
the Davidson yards will be ended The
lane from the yards TO the state line is
in good shape and the farmers along

The Feetherweight Affair.

Milwaukee Wisconsin,
The discussion with fists at San
Francisco, to settle the featherweight
championship of the prize ring, ended
with a decision in favor of the de-
PENDANT, based upon the demoralizing
effect of two successive left and right
hand blows delivered upon the point
of the jaw The battle seemed to prove
that Corbett and McGovern were even
" matched as to strength and endur-
ance, although the former had sIght
advantage in weight The pug1llsts d1-
vided the hOnOrs, SO-called, quite even
" up TO the eleventh round, in which
McCOvern went down and out for the
regulation length OF time; but never
theless Corbett exhibited qualities as
a fighter that made the result accept
able as fair ending OF a fierce hstlc
battle.

trolled his temper, and carried on a
cautious and thoughtful fight, instead
of practicing tie blind dashing that in
his previous fighting won for him the
soubriauet of Terrible Teddy" the re
suit of the contest might have been
different.
However. the loser may console him
self with the reflection that the victory
does not amount to much anyway. The
public did not stay awake with breath
less anxiety and the world swings
along as steadily as it did while the
men were simply boasting of their
prowess, and of what they would do TO
the other fellow. Most people are Won

there should have been interest enough
