Hart and schreck Bout at New YorI

NEW YORK, May 1.-Two heavy
weight pugilists of prominence met
here last night in a four round contest.
The principals We're Marvin Hart Of
Louisville and Mike Schreck of Chica-
go. The men were slow in the opening
round, but fought each other almost to
a standstill in the other three rounds.
Neither seemed to have trained for the
contest. and they simply slugged Wild
ly without any show of science or judg-
ment. No decisions are rendered under
the existing legal restrictions. Two
fighters in one of the preliminary bout
were arrested after leaving the ring in
order that Il test case may be made.

NEW YORK. May A. Excellent
weather prevailed at Jamaica, and as
a result the attendance was up to its
normal state. About 1000 people were
on hand. The programme was Il good
one, with the Columbus stakes for
three-year-olds the feature.
Baird and Clements proved to be the
winning combination in the opening
race. 1t was a dash of five furlongs,
and he went to the front from the
start.
Calabash proved to be a false favor
tie in the Columbus stakes. He was at
II to 10 in the betting, but the best he
could do was to Ill second to Yazd all
the way. The former won by a length
in handy fashion, while Calabash was
ten lengths in front of Caprice.
Acrobat made all the running in the
maiden tw~o-year-old event. He opened
home turn increased it half a dozen
lengths. He won by that margin, with
Ida Jones second, a length and a half
in front of Kernochan. The latter
showed a lot OF speed, but tired and at
the end was all out to beat Diebold.

FAIRGROUNDS OPEN

All Depends on Bill Now
Before Congress.
$4,000 SUM ASKED FOR
Committee Points to Other Cities and
Says This Amount Is Very
Modest.

Every possible effort Is now being
made by the public Fairgrounds commit
tee to secure the passage of the Com
nissioners' bill for Fairgrounds IN the
District. which is now before the House.
The bill calls for a total appropriation
of $4,000. OF this $4,000 is for the
maintenance and supervision of the va
rlous reservations, and $4,000 for the
purchase of a site upon which to erect
building at a cost Of $4,000.
Benefits of Fairgrounds.
There was meeting OF the press com.
mittee In the Board Of Trade rooms yes
terdaS afternoon, at which it was de-
cided TO give the playground movement
wide publicity. DR.. Henry s. Curtis
supervisor OF Fairgrounds, spoke of the
werk that Is being done in other cities,
and maintained that the Fairgrounds
are a ynorai, social. and physical bene.
Mt to the community.
The bill which is now before the House
was drafted by the Fairgrounds commit
tee. and was indorsed by the District
Commissioners. Last year Congress
voted $500 for the maintenance of the
Fairgrounds, and 1t was necessary for
the committee TO raise s. 600 more by
popular subscriptions to maintain the
grounds for eleven weeks. Nineteen
Fairgrounds were in operation during
this period. OF which twelve were fo-
white children, and seven for colored.
This year IL is the desire OF the com
mittee 10 maintain the outdoor play
grounds during the entire year, and in
asking for $4,000 it feels 1t is making a

FAMED FOR ASTROPHYSICS

By a peculiar irony of fate it often
happens that man is known to the
public at the time of his death by that
particular line of work in which he was
at that time occupied rather than by
his greatest contributions to science. -
says William Hallock, Ph. D., of CoIum-
bia University. in discussing the work
OF Prof Langley. late secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution. Dr. HalIock
was a former associate Of Prof. Lang
ley.
During the last ten or twelve years
of his llfe," continues DIR. Hallock,
''his chief energies were devoted toward
solving the problem of mechanical fight.
and not a few of his scientific asso-
clates felt that he was wasting his time
and lending the weight OF his name to
encourage large number OF flying
machine cranks and the like. Never
theless. his Investigations on the in
ternaf work of the winds opened up an
entirely new field, and form an impor-
tant addition to our knowledge of aero
dynamics-
Famed for Astrophy sizes.
In spite of the considerable contribu-
lions, above referred to. with reference

machines made by Secretary Langley in
the last dozen years Of his life, tt viii
be admitted by all that the work by
which he is best known TO science. and
for which he will be ranked high among
his contemporaries, is surely mis- work

domain OF solar radiation. II is for his
success in these lines OF work that he
is so favorably known abroad, and Tor
