winding trail which is traversed by
burros from bottom to top. Cf
course the real dwellings have no
trails and the original dwellers had no
burros. but this is an unimportant
deviation which adds picturesquesness
to the scene. Indians are shown as.
cending and descending ladders, which
was the only mode of reaching their

Sharkey and Jack Munroe will meet for q
six-round arsument-tns the prize ring
For the past two iof three days the re-
ports that have come from the training
quarters Of both men, say that they were
never in better condition; than they are at
the present time. They win need to be. for
1t will be a rapid-fre. smash-bang affair
for all the eighteen minutes Of real action
that the two heavyweishts are scheduled to
go. AS IL the wont-of all ring gladiators
each man says he VIII win until the other
lands the smash that will clinch the fistic
argument.
the Sharkey-Munroe battle will be worth GO
ing the distance to see. gSharkey wants to
re-establish himself among the heavy
weights and Munroe is on the anxious seat.
for he wants to get a chance at big Jim
Jeffries for the championship. .Jeff' has as
sured both men that he will give the winner
chance. but the winner Of Saturdays
battle must meet him not later than June 1.
Neither Sharkey nor Munroe was ever ac-
cused Of being a skillfui boxer. and when
they come together in the ring the fight will
be one Of the rnix-up order from start to
finish.
Munroe has improved wonderfully since
he first came into notice by his bout with
Jeff" He is by nature as strong as a bull
and has some natural ability a fighter.
He has shown this in one or two of his re-
d
ment, and, not unlike JEFF himself, will
take hard punches just awaiting a good
chance to land one swing. That is all he
needs.
Sharkey has the benefit of going through
many hard battle, and has taken both
ends of a decision. He has met all the big
fellows. That he can stand terrific punish
ment no one will deny. He is as strong as
Munroe, and probably has a shade the bet
ter in the matter of hard hitting Sharkey
has been in training for this bout for sew
eral weeks. He has gotten down to con-
dition gradually, and his friends say that
he is better today than any other time in
his life.
Sharkey wants to win Saturday night
battle, and he wants to win badly Jeff
has promised to meet the winner, and that
is the chance Sharkey has been waiting for
for many months. The sailor believes he
can put JEFF" out If he manages to get on
another bout with him.
Just now Sharkey has shade the better
of the betting end of the fight. The fact
that it is limited-round bout and there
will be no official decision, has to some ex-
tent halted the betting. There are many
sporting men who argue that neither man
will be defeated by knockout inside of the
limit set for the battle.

HORSES FOR BENNING.
Rosetint and Masterman Arrived To-
day.

From the New York Telegraph.
The first shipment of horses from Morris
Park for Benning was made yesterday when
two cars pulled out from the siding. One
contained seven that were shipped by James
Boden. including Rosetint and Masterman
both of which are eligibles for the Benning
specials The other was filed with horses
belonging to s. 8. Jackson and other own
ers. They. pulled out at 6 o'clock and are
due at the Washington track early in the
morning. Jimmy McLaughlin's lot will
leave not Later than Thursday next
Like all other courses within the metro
politan district, Westminster was frozen too
hard to take chances on yesterday, and
nothing was left for horses with engage
ments at Benning to do but to ship to there
direct. and at the earliest moment Natu-
rally. the weather is milder there and the
frost has not sunk so deeply into the
ground as 1t has about here. There is
scarce day there that open galloping has
not been possible. while here 1t is very ex-
cepuonal.
Frank r. Hitchcock. q steward of the
Jockey Club, who has recently been south
and who called at Benning on the way
north. gives very encouraging reports about
Benning. He says that the horses In his
end other stables look well and that the
track Is In excellent shape for gailoping
over. Even If 1t freezes a bit at night. the
sun In the morning thaws 1t out and makes
work over 1t possible. Here, the sun In the
few hours of warmth Is not sufficiently
strong to overcome the freezing of the night
before, which makes safe work Something
exceedingly problematical
In speaking of Benning 1t may not be un-
important to horsemen to say that already
practically every bit of stable room has
been engaged. and that. In writing to SUI
pertntendent Strahan for accommodation,
the proper form will be not to say how
many stalls are wanted, but how many
horses 1t Is intended shall be raced at the
Benning spring meeting. This course has
grown beyond being preparatory grounds
Its stakes and purses make of IT a meeting
. OF Importance, and only such horses as II is
designed shall race there may legitimateIy
lay claim to Its track and stall priyileges
There was time In the years asone when
Mr.. Rowland. its president. and his assoc
ciates were glad to have an abundance Of
horses. accepting a reasonable proportion Of
them for entries. but the WASHINGTON lock
ey Club has outgrown all this and It can
not reasonably be expected to afford stable
room and training grounds except for
horses that mean to participate in its meet
ing. It has been very liberal in its ofrer-
fngs. and there will be enough horses an
gagged at Its meeting to I'LL all the stalls at
the track.

JENNINGS AWFUL PLUNGE.
CornelPs Base Ball Coach Owed Into
Empty Swimming Tank.

Hughey Jennings, coach of the Cornell
base ball team and manager of the Balti-
more Eastern League club, narrowly es-
capped fatal INJURY in the Cornell gynlna-
SUM Wednesday night, when he dove into
the deep swimming tank, not knowing
that it was empty. He struck the cement
bottom with terrific force, and 1t was two
hours before the doctors were able to re-
store him to consciousness.
1t was feared that he had sustained con-
cussion of the brain, but the doctors are
hopeful of his recovery.
In trying to protect his head Jennings
threw out his right arm and injured that
member so badly that he will not be able
to use it in practice for many weeks.
Jennings Is still confined to his bed and
has not yet fully recovered from the
shock. He says that the steam in the room
made 1t impossible for him to see that the
tank was empty, and that no notice was
posted that the water had been drawn Off
