GRAPES FRESH ALL WINTER
French Device Preserves Them for the Palate of the Epicure
 in This Line.

A clever French process by which vine growers in France are able to market fresh outdoor grapes all through the winter is thus described. Bunches of the finest grapes when ripe in autumn are cut in such way that to each bunch piece of the vine five or six inches long remains attached. From this piece the stems of the bunch hang, an arrangement vitally necessary to the success of the opera tioD. A large number of wide-mouth bottles, filled with water, is ranged in cellar and in the open end of each is inserted the pieces of vine stem. the punches of grapes hanging outside. The grapes do nor touch the water, but are thus supplied with moisture through the vine stem, which is i'm mersed in water. By this process choice varieties of table grapes are kept in perfect condition for the whole winter. The temperature of the cellar is uniform and moderately low and care is taken daily to supply the bot ties with the water lost by evaporation. Fruit thus carefully tended is some what costly, but there are many pa irons who willingly pay two dollars a bunch for the delicacy of fresh grapes in midwinter.

BROAD WAS WHIPPED.

Pittsfield. Jan. 21.-The Knickcr- booker Athletic club carnival attract ed 600 enthusiasts, the largest crowd of the season, to the Academy of Mu- sic last night. The main bout between Johnny Burdick and Kid Broad was by far the best of the season. Broad weighed 13S pounds, while Burdick was strong at 126. The 10 rounds were the fastest yet seen here. From the gong in the first round to the gong in the last, under straight Queensbury rules. it was hit. clinch, break. block and hit again.
 Burdick had the best of rounds 1. I and 10, Broad the best of the Sth and honors were even in the others. Bur dick played repeatedly for Broad's stomach and kidneys and smashed them hard and often. but Broad is a glutton for taking punishment. Broad tried Burdicks jaw, swinging and driving straight out for it repeatedly. In the Sth vicious uppercut blacked Burdick's eye.

SPONGE WENT UP.

Matty Baldwin of Boston and Hugh Clancy of Pawtucket figured in the main bout at Woonsocket. k. l., last Thursday night. They were to have met for ten rounds. but Clancy lost in the fourth. his seconds throwing up the sponge. Baldwin outclassed his man from the start He used his left to great advantage and countered often on the jaw. At times Clancy held up his hands merely to protect himself. Iii the fourth round Baldwin jolted Clancy so hard that the latter went down on his knees and took the count When he came back Baldwin knocked him through the ropes and then fol lowed with several smashes on the head. Glancy's seconds then acknwol. edged defeat. The preliminaries were lively. Guy Ashley of Fall River de, feated Jack O'Neil of Woonsocket in eight rounds on points, and Monk the Newsboy of Providence and Bob Tickle of Fall River fought an eight. round draw.

THE DIAMOND.
GAMBLING AT
 BALL GAMES
Pittsbure Noted For That and a Gambler Said To Be lmpl .cated With Taylor Other News.

For years the gambling on the grounds of the Pittsburg National league club has been allowed to thrive owners of the National league club in that city. As there is no horse racing in the Smoky city and few pool rooms, the sporting element inclined to specu- late has turned in d body to the dia. mond. It has often been the case that thousands of dollars have changed hands on the result of some of the games in pittsburg and that the money has been wagered openly among the spectators before and during the con- tests. Not a game has taken place In sthe city of smoke in the last ten years that has not carried heavy speculation with it.
 On the general result. on the scoring of certain number of runs in nine innings: on the scoring of run or nothing in each inning, on base hits or outs. ill fact, on every point conducive fO speculation the money has been wagered. As result the professional gamblers have become prominent on the Pittsburg grounds, until one of them. Dick Mccormick, is now men- toned by Garry Hermann. chairman Of the National commission. as being in some way implicated in the charges lodged against Taylor. The Pittsbhrs club is controlled by Barney Dreyfuss, whose former secretary. II. c. Pulliam, is now the president of the Nationa. league. The constitution and bylaws >f hat tots gambling in any form on the grounds of any National league club. Dreyfuss knows that gambling is daily feature of the games on his grounds, and 50 does Pulliam. In sitting the Taylos case 10 the bottom the National con- mission, of which Pulliam is mem- Der, cannot avoid securing evidence of gambling on Dreyfuss's grounds.
