lapsed last year on account of holding the

under Its auspices a regatta will take place
here early in September. AS is well known.
in this regatta the prizes are the celebrated

in themselves rich enough to bring the best
oarsmen Of America here to compete. The
club also agreed to enter an eight-oared
crew at the national regatta at st. Louis
if the senior crew trained faithfully and
strong for the event. The club took new
departure by entering a track team in the
Georgetown meet next month, relay team
against the Ariels and Arundels of Balti-

boating organizations. and Will no doubt
create considerable excitement. The club
will also give a theater party in April, on q

NOTED HORSE DEAD.
Colonel Bill Died Yesterday of Spinal
Meningitis.


Colonel Bill, the race horse that was the
direct cause of the verbal assault made by
L. v. Bell. the millionaire turfman and
broker, on w. s. Vosburgh, the official
Handicapped of the Jockey Club. at the
Aqueduct track last fall is dead The noted
race horse, valued at $4,000, died from the
effects of spinal meningitis yesterday In his
stall at the Sheepshead Bay race track.
When Colonel Bill hobbled home after a
race at Aqueduct last fall 1t was found that
the ligaments and tendons Of his Off foreleg
had been ruptured and torn. At this sight
L. v. Bell could not control his anger
against Vosburgh, whom he held directly
assigning him great weights in all the han
dicaps. 1t was then that he made the at
tack on the handicappers treatment of his
horses in the matter of allotments of
weight, charging unfair treatment in that
respect. For this verbal assault the Jockey
Club subsequently fined Mr.. Bell $500.
Colonel Bill was entered in all the import
ant handicaps this season. He was consid-
cred by Trainer James Mccormack horse
of very high class, and when In perfect ply
steal condition only a few pounds inferior
to his one-time stablemate, Hermis 1t was
this belief Of Mccormack that caused him
to advise Bell to sell Hermis to E. r.
Thomas for $4,000. Colonel Bill never re-
covered from his injury, and 1t was this
which shocked his whole nervous system
and brought on the attack of spinal menin-
gifts, which paralyzed his body. Colonel
Bill was q five-year-old brown horse by
Wagner-Mattie T., and bred by William l..
Simmons of Kentucky.

WAITING FOR BIDS.
Sporting Clubs Not laundering for
Sharkey- Monroe Fight.

A battle-ground for tfief contest between
Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe, which was
arranged few weeks ago, was not selected
yesterday. Although when the papers were
signed 1t was decided to leave the opening
of the bids for the encounter until January
15, no proposals were received. Conse-
quently the representatives of both men are
to meet again next Wednesday to choose a
rendezvous, provided proposals are at hand
by that time. Sporting men thought many
clubs may have been scared of by the
stipulation that certified check calling for
1900 must accompany each bid. This Is
large amount Of money, even as forfeit,
for a heavyweight fight. Then, again, San
Francisco has been barred by the ex-Sallor,
who objects to facing Munroe in that city.
Sharkey, however, seems determined TO
fight Munroe. He said last night that he
would be prepared to meet the miner to a
finish for from 81 eco to s., 600 a side. Wheth-
er Munroe can secure such large backing
is question, but his manager says ne can
and that Munroe will take on Sharkey IN
private If they cannot fight in public
Sharkey Is now satisfied to fight Munroe for
six rounds, although the articles stipulate
that the battle must not be less than fifteen
rounds. Mayor Harrison of Chicago has
repeatedly said that he will not allow
heavy-weights to fight in that city. No ban
has been placed on the big men in Philadel-
phia: So after all. they may agree to meet
there, provided the necessary inducement
is forthcoming.

ercise than bowling. 1t Is as harmless as
horseback riding, and is certainly as bene-
fetal. Saving wood or shoveling coal is

In form physically the exercise is a producer
of muscle, just as is the throwing and wind
ing of an oyster dredge. OF course, a man
who creates an appetite by the strenuous
ness of his muscular body must, to keep the
less and gain of tissue intact, be properly
fed
The only drawback to bowling from the
standpoint of muscular development is the
fact that a bowler Is either ght-handed
man or is left-handed. Consequently he de-
velopes muscles, but does not develop so
many as he would in a game of tennis or
in boxing
Wrestling is much like bowling. in the
fact that 1t only develops certain muscles.
In wrestling the muscles are trained to
contract, just the same as In heavyweight
lifting. Boxing Is different In boxing the
man must have his muscles very flexible,
having them equally balanced to contract or
expand. The difference Is comparably just

DR.. William Grant, chairman of the regis
tratiOn committee Of the South Atlantic
Association of the American Athletic Union,
is well posted on physical development. He
has made a careful study of development,
seeking to ward out the deleterious exer-
eises and to advance those of merit. After
reading the story about the death of Law
yer BuSsey, he said:
II don't think the hemorrhage was direct
ly caused by his having played tenpins.
Hemorrhages are liable to occur from
slight causes If the conditions are ripe
hearty meal is often given as a cause. So
far as tenpin playing is concerned don't
know of a less harmful sport.
There is game called croquet, also
known in fun as Presbyterian Billiards.
This game sometimes brings about harsh
controversies. Tenpins seldom does. The
only pity about bowling Is that 1t does not
put more muscles in play, as does handball
and many other exercises It Is q healthful
game. and one that should be fostered by

Views Of Athletic Physicians ON the
Death Of Player Bussey.

From the Baltimore Sun.
A New York paper publishes story Of
the death OF Mr.. William G. Bussey. resi-
dent Of Mount Vernon. who died suddenly
from hemorrhage after the exerion of play
ing winning tenpin game. He was
member Of the Chester Hill Bowling Club
and was In club match, making the high
est score of the evening.
3 He had reached his home and spent an
hour there before the fatal attack. He was
fifty-eight years old. When the attack
came on physician was called, but he
could not determine upon possible cause
for the bursting of blood vessel.
DIR. n. d. Barnes, a physician of Balti-
more, who has paid great attention to the
physical development of men, was asked
yesterday his opinion of the matter. He
said, after reading he story:
Mr.. Bussey may have died from over
