Racing at New Orleans

New Orleans, Feb. 27.-Tommy Grit
fin, once a jockey, worked a trick on
the ring and made what he himself
styled 1.-THE coup" of his turf career.
Griffin had the FLY Sweet Pepper in
the second race for maiden 2-year-old
FLIES. When the horses entered the
paddock a sorry looking chestnut filly
was passed through, supposed to be
Sweet Pepper and the ring immediate
ly posted to against her chances.
Griffin lost no time in backing her
down to to and then the real Sweet
Pepper also a chestnut was sent into
the paddock. She went to the post and
simply breezed the half mile. After the
race Griffin was called up and as his
explanation of the matter was unsatis-
factory to the stewards it was ordered
that the further entry of all horses
owned in whole or in part by him be
refused. Little Jack Horner and The
Regent We're the other winning favor
ties The latter was run up $500. The
weather was clear and track fast.

Root and Gardner Went Six
Rounds to q Draw.
Fight Was Fast and Furious
from the Start.
BATTLE NEAR EVEN.
Root Did Most of His Landing
on Opponents Jaw.
Both Men Were Bleeding Freely
at Close of the Bout.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Jack Root, of this
city and George Gardner, of Lowell,
Mass. fought six-round draw here
last night. The fight was fast through
out, and with the exception of the third
round, when Root had the better, and
the fifth, when Gardner evened up the
advantage Root had gained, the fight
was eyen- Root played for the jaw and
Gardner for the body all through. Root
landed frequently on the Jaw in the
third round, and at the close Gardner
was hanging on. In the fifth round
Gardner gave Root a severe pounding
on the body and sent him to his corner
badly weakened. Both men fought
desperately in the last round, and Root
landed a hard right on the jaw that
forced Gardner to clinch. He quickly
recovered, however, and evened matters
by series of heavy body blows. Both
men were bleeding badly at the finish.

about all this to me is why they should
want to turn Governor Bailey down.
who stands as high or higher at home
with his neighbors as any other mem
Der of the administration and leave
the rest of the gang-for instance, T. T.
Kelly and others.
Now l think the best thing for the
Populists, Democrats and good Republi-
cans to do is to get together and ORA IF
not one man for governor, but draft
the whole state ticket of such men as
Senator Harris, Senator Taylor, John
II. Atwood, Judge Doster, Major Har-
Vey and Hugh p. Farrelly and a hun
dred and one others l might name. And
II such ticket as this is drafted and
put into the field, it will wipe off of
the face of the earth this gang of tax
ra1sers, tax collectors, and tax eaters.
Il have always been a fusionist, and
am now more a fuSiOnist than ever.
1 am not only in favor of fusion with
the Democrats, but also with the good
Republicans and all good citizens who
are in favor of reform and good gov
eminent and who are tired Of the boss
rule and corruption at the state cap
itol. And my advice to the Populists
everywhere is for them TO get together
hold conventions, and send large dele
cations to the state convention at To-
pelSa, April II, and come with the fixed
purpose in their minds to bring about
such fusion as will consolidate all the
opposition to the present state house
ring, and wipe them off the face of
the earth
Asked as to the probable action of
| the negro vote under the present con-
ditions the colonel gave the following
rather unique answer:
The negro voters of the state of
Kansas, to a large degree, are among
the best and most loyal element of the
Republican party, and when the Re
publican party in this state or any
other, is divided against itself, you will
always find the negro lined up with the
/ better element; and if we present such
a ticket as viii attract the white Re
publicans, you can rest assured that
1.-The negro will do his part"

NO CHALLENGES ACCEPTED.
Auto Boatmen Are Still Making Con-
ditions and Deposits.

New York, Feb. 27.-Nothing definite
has yet came out of the challenges and
counter challenges of rival power boat
owners at the sportsmans show in
Madison Square Garden, but the public
continued to inspect and watch the
operation of these crack launches on
the big lake with undiminished inter
est.
The offer of Charles Tangeman to
race his boat against any other for
$1,000 has not been seriously considered
by other makers, for the reason that
he proposes that the hulls of the con-
testing boats be built upon the same
design, each propelled by her owners
individual motor.
AS this would be a test of motors
alone other power boat men at the
show are not enthusiastic about it,
maintaining that the build of boat
plays as considerable a role in her
speed as the motive power, and that
a test on the lines proposed by Mr..
Tangeman would be unsatisfactory and
indeciSive.

Seven years ago the State of Illinois granted
90 the Physicians Institute of Chicago charter.
There was need of something above the ordi-
nary method OF treatment for chronic diseases,
something more than any one specialist or any
number OF specialists acting independently
could do, so the State itself, under the powers
granted 1t Dy Its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since Its establishment this Institute has
endeavored in every possible way to carry out
the original purposes of its establishment under
the benefcieDt laws Of the State.
