JEFFRIES TO REFEREE
THE ROOT-HART FIGHT
Contest Which Will Be De-
cided at Reno Is to a
Finish.
Special Dispatch to Tie Call.

RENO. New, June 22.-All plans for the
Root-Hart fight to a finish have been
completed. Harry Corbett of San Fran
cisco has been selected official stake
holder. The arena, with seating capac-
ity of 800, is almost completed. Hart is
getting into great form. Root is expected
here the first of the week from Salt Lake.
James j. Jeffries has been agreed upon
by both Louis M. Houseman manager
for Jack Root, and John Mccormick,
manager for Marvin Hart, as referee for
the heavyweight championship battle
which is to take place here on July 8.
Late last evening Kid Egan wired JEFF
fries that his offer to referee the fight
had been accepted by the club and all
concerned. Jeffries reply is expected to-
morrow.
Harry Corbett has been agreed upon
as final stakeholder and certified check
for the amount of the purse of $4,000 was
sent him at San Francisco last night, as
well as Marvin Hart's forfeit, which has
been on deposit in Reno bank. Roots
forfeit was placed on deposit with Cor
bett when the match was made. Under
the articles of agreement final stake
holder was to be selected by all con-
cerned not later than ten days before the
fight Harry Corbett now has the $4,000
stake money and the $1,000 forfeit money
put up by the principals.
The battle is to be of the finish sort, so
that there can be no draw, the end COM
ing only when one of the men wins and
the other loses. In the matter of weight
Hart will have considerably the best of
it, but since the battle is to be contested
under the clean break rules Root figures
that his stiffness and his left hand will
more than Offset the disparity in weights
A number of sporting men will go from
this city to witness the fight. Colonel
Martin Brady will head one party which
leaves here for the scene of the fight to-

BEARCATCHER BREAKS DOWN
AFTER SENSATIONAL WORKOUT
Garnet Fcrguson's Great St. George
Horse May Never Face the Starter
Again, Owing to Bad Legs

NEW YORK. June 22.-Bearcatcher,
the four-year- -old son of ST. George
Sallte McAllister. owned by Garnet Fer
guson and believed to be the fastest
horse on the American turf, is said to
have horelessly broken down at
Gravescnd, and may never race again.
The trouble is rupture in the left fore
leg, and his 'underpinning" generally
is bad.
Bearcatcher had been keyed ub for n.
killing. On Sunday morning he was
sent over to Sheepshead Bay at day
light, heavily blanketed and wearing
blinkers. Few persons knew the horse.
and no one saw Garnet Ferguson sud-
denly appear at tho starting pole lust
as the big brown horse was set down
for six-furlong sprint. Only a few
persons timed the workout, but those
who did were startled when their
watches registered 1:12 l-5, said to be
the fastest workout ever made over the
-COney Island track.

VALUABLE MACHINE
Milan j. Demorest Invents n Con.
crete Mixer That Does the
Business.

Ex-Alderman Milan j. Demorest
has invented a machine for mixing
concrete that is without doubt far
ahead of ANYTHING in that line that
has yet been produced. Mr.. Demorest
has been having the thing in mind for
the past year or two and whenever he
has been around where cement blocks
were being made and the material
put together of which they are con-
structed, he has kept his eyes open
and his brain a working to invent
something that would simplify the
process.
The machine he has invented and
which is now in running order is won
derful in its simplicity and results, it
is so constructed that cement blocks
may be manufactured with half the
la Dor and time that is required in the
ola way. The sand and gravel is
thrown into a hopper which quickly
separates it, the sand passing into a
revolving cylinder along with a
stream of cement from another hop
per which is thoroughly mixed in the
right proportions and as ii passes out
a spray of water from another hopper
or tank dampens the mixture to the
right consistency for the block ma
chine. There is no question whatever
but that Mr.. Demorest has the clear
thing in that line, he has made appli-
cation for a a patent and named il

about $40 was cleared as a result OF
the venture.
Each number on the program was
well rendered. the singing bv Mrs. M

schooled herself along the line of elo
cution to good advantage. Mrs

cores.
The piano solo by Mrs. Morehouse
was fine and called forth much ap
plause, both for the beauty of the
piece and excellence of execution.

Miss Mary Fish, as usual had a
strong hold on her audience from her
first opening words and won the
warmest of applause, responding to
several encores.
The Sunday school orchestra, un-
der the leadership of Verne Snyder,
received many compliments for their
part in the program at this their
first public playing since organiza-

merit of the entertainment.
