AUTOMOBILING.

The route for the James Gordon Bennett
cup auto race in Germany has forty-seven.
turns and, according to the mayor of
Hamburg, is dangerous in many places.
One of these turns is of the 70 degree sort.
Not over twenty-five miles Of the eighty
two miles, which is the distance covered in
the circuit, is straight and level road. Of
this twenty-five miles, the longest stretch
is three miles,
When it is considered that some of the
cars being built for this race are of 120
horse power, the dangers of the race may
be realized. Approaches to the turns will
be very dangerous according to the
French drivers who have been over the
course.
Plans are being gradually perfected for
this summer UP Mount Washington in the
been to get permission to use the noun
tain road. Negotiations, however, have
practically been closed.
81 The present intention. is to hold the con-
test the latter part Of June or early in
July. The start will be made near the
foot Of the mountain and the contest,
which will virtually be an endurance test,
will last two days. The machines with
their operators will rendezvous at one Of
the hotels near the middle OF the noun
tSfn, and only those vehicles that have
come up to a required standard will be all
lowed to continue on the second and de-
Gliding day Of the ascent. The test will be
one Of the most ambitious yet attempted
by automobilists.

WITHDRAWS HIS FORFEIT
PRICE CHARGES THAT TITUS
WILL TRY TO EVADE A MATCH
WITH HIM.
To the Editor of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal
After reviewing the article signed by
Bert Titus, and published in yesterday s
Journal, I beg to state that it IS in
deed surprising to note the evasive way
that this man considers a counter match
challenge. That there may be three local
checker players, whom he could defeat
blindfo1ded, do not doubt, but I may also
say that there are at least three local
checker players whom he has yet to dem
onstrate he can defeat in a match.
My forfeit has certainly remained posted
with r h Ell ourna al a sufficient time to
enable him to acquire full information on
the match terms proposed, If he so de-
sired, and I herewith withdraw same.
He says all the terms of a match must
be agreed upon before he covers a forfeit,
which is to be arranged on these terms:
That we play with eleven men on a side
or ten hours a day. Such conditions
would place a match on scrub basis
which even a third-rate player would ig-
more.
Apparently this man Titus is striving
to gain notoriety at the expense Of local
checker talent. Very truly,
C. A. Pierce.

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS
CUBAN TO MEET MOTH
Match Takes Place Monday Evening at
TT11i0T, TJNoronIo

Interest in the big wrestling match
Monday night at Union Temple be-
tween Clarence Bouldin of Cleveland,
the Cuban WONDER and Charlie
Moth Of this city, is increasing. BOul-
din has defeated many Of the best
heavyw g1lts in the country, altho he
himself weighs only about 160 pounds
in wrestling trim. His weight and
strength lie almost entirely in his arms
and shoulders, just where it will do
him the most good in work on the
mat. He recently won handily from
McAuley, the crack st. Paul heavy
weight, in a catch as-catch-can match.
Moth is a, veteran of the mat, and
thru his long experience knows prac-
tically everything about wrestling that
is worth knowing. His favorite style is
Graeco-Roman, whereas BOuldin pre-
fers to wrestle catch-a -can. The
match Monday night will be best two
out of three, one fall catch-as-catch-
can, one Graeco-Roman, the man who
wins his fall in the shortest time to
choose the style Of the third.
Phillips and Cole, who furnish the
preliminary, will wrestle best two out
Of three, catch-as-catch-can, for a
purse Of 500. Both of the little men
are confident of victory, and an excit-
ing contest between the two is ex-
pected, as they are evenly matched.

FertiliZing Salt.

The Vermont Experiment Station at
Burlington weighed ten clusters of grass
from two plots of land lying side by side.
From the unsalted plot the ten plants
weighed Il grams, while from the plot
which had received 5000 pounds of salt
per acre, they weighed 26 grams or nearly
twice as much.
Speaking of it's effectiveness in killing
Hawk Weed, or Paint Brush. the expert
ment station bulletin says: ''Most of
the weed was killed by the application
of 1000 pounds per acre. Every plant
of it was killed by the application of
5000 pounds per acre and the weight of
the grass was nearly doubled
FERTnIzING SALT can be obtained of

than car load lots, put up in cheap 1OO-lb

NORTH WALDEN.
A Fatal Accident.

A sad accident occurred in this neigh
borhood Monday morning of last week,
about IL O'Clock, at the dangerous rail-
road crossing near Edward Fosters. AS
Joseph Gichrist, aged about 73 years,
was returning from East Hardwick via
South Walden, the rear of his lumber
wagon was hit by passing freight train,
overturning it and throwing him upon
pile of stones, killing him almost in
family. 1t is said he spoke and inquired
for his horsesprobably not realizing his
own condition. As the kingbolt came
out the horse ran with the forward
wheels, homeward, which was near. His
wife seeing it and knowing something
serious had occurred FASTENED to the
railroad track, arriving just as the train
men were preparing to carry his body
away as they could not identify him. He
was a veteran soldier, in poor health,
quite deaf, and leaves besides his elderly
wife.on son. who is married. The family
have the sympathy OF the entire commu-
nifty.

Make Poultry Pay.

The poultry keeper who keeps few
hens, as well as the one who keeps many,
is anxious to derive as much profit from
them as possible. Many things aid or
hinder in that desire. Sick fowls are un-
profitable fowls. Fowls should be warm
ly housed and should have as much
range as possible for exercise, but the
most important thing of all is the right
kind of feeding. For over 80 years sue
cessful poultry raisers have fed Sheridan's
Condition Powder at all times of year,
and realized handsome increase in their
profits thereby. Fed once a day, with
the regular feed it aids digestion, makes
healthy fowls. and furnishes just the
chemical elements needed to produce
eggs in the laying hen, and to develop
and mature the growing chick. One
cent per fowl pays the cost for 10 days.
It's cent well spent. Write for further
particulars to the makers, I. S. Johnson
& Co.. Boston, Mass.

A Curious Indian Custom.

The 1O1 ranch in Oklahoma is to be
the scene of a unique affair May 8. The
Ponca Indians have completed arrange
ments with the owners of the ranch for
buffalo hunt which probably will be
the last of it's kind in America. The
hunt is to be participated in only by
Indians, and the object of it is to test
the skill of the candidates in the tribe
for places on the advisory board of horse
chief, who was elected at the sun dance
held by the Poncos year ago. 1t has
been custom of the Ponce Indians for
centuries to hold sun dance to elect
their principal chief, and year later to
hold a buffalo hunt to elect the members
of his advisory board. The Indians did
not expect to be able to have the buffalo
hunt this year owing to the scarcity of
the animals. Tbirty-eight years ago,
when White Eagle, the retiring chief, was
elected, the plains were covered with
bufaloes and the hunt was easily ar
ranged. 1t had been decided to find
some other plan when the owners of the
1O1 ranch volunteered to purchase three
buffaloes for the hunt. The Indians will
not shoot the animals, but will divide
into bands and try to drive the animals
through a goal. The advisory board
will be composed of Indians from the
most successful band. A sixty. acre field
has been fenced with woven wire for the
hunt.

at Buffalo, Mo. In this he was joined
by his brother, G. w. Carter, and both
graduated as allopathic physicians from
the st. Louis Medical College. From
that time until four days before his
death, there was hardly break in his
medical practice, as although i'll for sever
al weeks before his death he continued
his work pluckily. In Arkansas, Kan
sas and Missouri his early days were
spent, and it was in Arkansas that he
met the Yankee school-ma am" Mary
Leavitt, Of Wheelock. who was persuaded
to give up her vocation and has been for
many years his true and faithful wife.
Six children were born to them, one who
died in infancy, DIR. o. E. Carter of Dam
vile, who died last winter, and four
surviving: DR.. G. A. Carter of Hard
wick, DIR. r. A. Carter of this place, Mrs.
Clara Morehouse of Lyndon Centre, and
Mrs. Anna Pearce of Littleton. During
the civil war DIR. Carter lost his property
and came to his wife's native state, YER
mont, to make his home. Here he has
won high reputation as an able physi-
clan, faithful, keen and progressive.
While spending the winter in Southern
Pines, N. c., two years ago for his health,
he desired to practice his profession but
in order to do so had to take a state ex-
animation. Out of 25 applicants he and
another were the only two that passed.
He has been pension examiner for some
time, also health officer for Lyndon Cen
ter. During the civil war he received an
appointment as U. S. surgeon under
Captain Andrews. He was drafted into
the army but paid for substitute, and
| did not go. He was in the west till after
the excitement of the John Brown raid.
DIR. Carter was a man well liked and
respected. He was kind, affectionate
and devoted to his family and patients.
His funeral services were held Friday at
his late home, conducted by Rev. E.
Newell and Rev. John Kimball. The
large attendance and quantities of beau
tiful flowers attested the sorrow of his
many friends. The bearers were Or. T.
R. Stiles of St. Johnsbury, DR.. Jones oil

and Dwinell of Lyndonville. Sincere
sympathy is extended to his surviving
family.
