Wonderful Racing Record.

At considerable expense Mr.. Whitney
had compiled shortly before his death a
stud book giving the racing history of
every one of the mares on the farm.
This showed that the eighty mares ran
in 2,465 races, an average of about thir-
ty-two for each mare. The extraordinary
part Of their racing careers was, how
ever. that they won an average of %
per cent of their starts and were placed
In so per cent Of the total number of
races.
Young Mr. Whitney's confidential adj

Temporary Retirement.

Young Mr.. Whitney's decision to sell
out does not mean that ne has retired
permanently from the turf Nor does Il
mean that his interest in the thorough
bred viii be less than II has always
been.
He intends to maintain and continue
on the same splendid scale the great
breeding farm near Lexington. Ky,
which has produced many Of the most
famous racers of recent years and which
has collection of eighty brood mares
which cost the elder Whitney nearly
three-quarters OF a million. On this
farm are five stations with almost UNI
beaten records for producing winners.
One of these is the great Hamburg. for
which Mr. Whitney paid 500 0o0 and an
other Is the almost equally famous
Meddler.
The collection OF brood mares. how
ever, is regarded OF greater v. Tue than
the stations Mr.. Whitney selected near
~ every one OF them personally and
was particular TO send to his farm only
those with splendid records as winners.

A Popular Victory.

A victory for Munroe would be the
more popular, notwithstanding the fact
that the sailor is 2-to-1 favorite in the
betting. Sharkey and Jeffries have met
before on two occasions, once in a TWEEN
ty-round draw, and once in a twenty
five-round bout. in which the big boiler
maker caved in a couple of the Jack
tars ribs. easily winning the decision.
Since that time Sharkey has not been
himself, and there are many who look
for the miner TO administer a sleeping
pellet.
Betting Is Light.
There is little betting on the fight. No
wagers of consequence have been re
corded. What betting there has been.

Dawson's story, briefly told. is that when
quite young he and his only sister, who

sister was adopted by friends, who took
her TO America, but Dawson decided to
shift for himself. He met Indifferent sue

he was compelled to earn a living as a
laborer. AT last he reached Liverpool,

porter, afterward leaving that for the

factory.
Meanwhile the sister, with whom he had

U. S. MAY ENTER PROTEST
AGAINST CANADA'S ACTION.
Government Officially Invites 1mmi-
grafton From Northwestern
States.

Washington, July 16-It is probable that
the attention of the British Government
will be directed to a movement conducted
officially by the Canadian Government to
induce immigration from the United
States to the Northwest Territory.
There can be no objection to such efforts
on the part of private emigration agencies,
but when. as in this case, the Government
itself seeks to attract citizens of other
countries. the matter is one which calls
for official remonstrance.
1t appears that the Dominion Depart
ment of the Interior. through one of its
assistant secretaries, has been sending
broadcast throughout the Northwestern
States circular letters. principally adj
dressed to ~clergymen. professional mel
and persons of influence. describing In
glowing terms the splendid resources of
the Canadian Northwest and inviting i'm
migrants by the offer of 100 acres of land
for each. free schools and sound laws.
Attention is especially invited to the ex-
cellent church facilities.

TEXAS CATTLE FARE WELL
ON SOUTH AFRICAN VELDTS.
Colonial authorities Pleased With
Animals Imported to stock the
Government Farms.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, July l6.-United States Con-
sui Profit at Pretoria. South Africa. has
rendered TO the Department of Commerce
and Labor an interesting report on the
subject of Texas cattle in the Transvaal.
In the year 1903 a large number of cattle
were imported by the Colonial Government
for the purpose of stocking the Govern
ment farms. Out Of a total of 81, 1875 fur
nished by five different countries, 1900
were credited to Texas. Since March, 1903.
there were shipped from the United States
mostly from Texas-l1, 200 head, includ-
ing a private consignment: 1t required
seven vessels to convey the cattle to
South Africa. and the mortality among
them was only 1I. due wholly TO accident.
The report of Consul Profit quotes the
TranSVaal Commissioner of Lands, VINO
says;
from the effects of the change OF climate
and the cold winter months. and are do
ing remarkably well.
The bulk of the casualties were deaths
immediately after calvinG, and were the
result of a long and tedious voyage and
the arrival OF the cattle In this country
during the cold winter months.
After passing through a much more
rigorous winter than is ever experienced
in the Transvaal, they were shipped from
America before they had time to pick
up condition, and were landed i'll this
country in the middle of another winter.
Nearly all were. therefore. in very poor
condition and weak. They We're turned
INTO the field Immediately. The veldt
was bare and they We're left to pick up
a living as they best could. and got no
supplementary food whatever.
"SiNty-seven of the poorest and weak
est of these died before the winter was
done. In but two instances have we
heard of any OF these cattle dying from
disease, and this occurred quite recently
in the Standerton district. the post-mor-
TENS showing the symptoms of anthrax.
Both OF these animals had been rejected
by the Government, and were very poor.
THE experience of the Land Depart
ment as regards the Texas cattle retained
by them is that these cattle have proved
themselves well fitted for this Country"

Paris. July 16.-(Copyright, 1sO4.)-Comte
Henry Delavaulx had an entirely sue
cessful trip on the first trial Of his new
balloon, Mediterranean.
The balloon left the shed in a light
breeze at 6 in the morning and followed
the torpedo-boat Pertuisane. 1t sailed in
the direction of Palavas for twenty-five
kilometers to sea. The steering device n
the means of ascent and descent were
tried without the use of ballast and the
balloon was brought back to the she'd by
taking it against the wind.
The second trip was a failure. The bal
loon went too near the sea, dipping the
carburation apparatus into the water. The
motor stopped and the balloon became

The First Entertainment

The first entertainment OF the Randolph
lecture course was given Monday evening,
and full house greeted the poet humor-
list. Fred Emerson Brooks.
The poet read his own poems which
he introduced with a humorous preface,
and between the poems he relieved the
strained attention Of the audience by
witty prose interludes after the manner
Of Moore's "Ialla Rookhn where Fadla-
deem is allowed to animadvert upon the
poet Feramorz and the poems which be
recited to the princess. These interludes
frequently excited the laughter and APP
plause OF the audience.
The poems ranged from grave to gay
humor and pathos being near together,
as the lecturer declared they always are,
A number Of the poems were OF a
patriotic character, as "Remember the
Maine "Dewey at Manila "Pickett's
Charge" and others. Humorous and "a.
thetic poems, smiles and tears, succeeded
each other, and none OF them were too
long. They were written by a master OF
English verse and ID was pleasant to hear
the author, like Homer OF old, recite his
own verses.
One thing occurred which was in
itself both humorous and pathetic, for
which Mr.. Brooks was not responsible
