To Cleanse Channels.

It is not generally known that to
cleanse a chamois leather for plate
cleaning or any other polishing pur-
pose "the best way" is to wash it in
lukewarm, soapy water, and to leave
plenty of soap in the last rinsing wa
ter. This makes the wash-leather as
soft and pliable as when new. TO
rinse all soap out will make it hard
and dry. Dry in open air if possible.

He was given the decis- ion, which he earned.
 At the last minute it was an nounced that Kid Goodman would be the Harlem boys opponent. and the pair got into the ring, with Murphy favorite at to and 10 to 2. Il was also announced that there would be decision and that both boys would be allowed to protect them selves at all times.

RACING
THE SULLVANS
 TOOK THE COIN
Big and Little Tim and Their Friends Hammered the
 Bookmakers.

The Sullivans, Big Tim and nearly all of his relatives and henchmen, cleaned up handsomely at Belmont park yesterday. They came to the track early with fat bankrolls pre- pared to unbelt on Paddy Sullivan's ] Slr Walter colt, Samuel H. Harris, who was starter in the first race Harris, with the gas house district jockey, Crimmins, in the saddle, had won several races unbacked by the clan, but this time, as the horse was fit and ready, the Sullivans soon backed him from s to 1 down to 5, playing him across the board ill al most every book in the ring. When Crimmins finally got the horse home in terrific drive the Sullivans and a regiment of Bowery celebrities shout ed themselves hoarse, realizing quick ly that they had won many good dol lars.
 The steeplechase, was passed up by the clan, but they were ready for an- other good thing in the third race, a colt named Royal Ben, by Royal Flush III. This youngster was sent to the post by Bob Smith, who is a friend of Big Tim, and when the price had scared to 9 to 1 the Sulli- vans got busy. They played Royal Ben three ways, until he was backed down to 8 at the last moment, the bulk of the wagers being to show. But Royal Ben seemed unable to travel in the sloppy going and finish ed just outside of the money, while Miss Spooner, bearing the colors of Maurice Kraus, one of the clan, sur prised everybody by running third at 20 to 1.
 Nothing daunted, the Sullivans bet heavily on Belle of Request and Baringo in the fourth and fifth races and then got ready for final plunge on Frank J. Farrell's Grapple. So eager were they to get their cheeks down on Grapple that they accepted to 5, the opening quotations. Then they went back at him again when the price had receded to II to 10, and when Grapple came home the Sulli- vans shook hands with one another and hurried in the direction of the BOwery to celebrate the remarkable success they had enjoyed.

BIG PURSES IN WEST.

According to Tom O'Rourke, who has been watching the prize fighting game out west pretty close, Nevada refuses to be counted out and an- other place suitable for a ring has been, discovered. Los Angeles fight promoters hsve' hopes of striking pay dirt in Searchlight, one of the boom towns in the Desert state. It is pro- posed to bring Jack O'Brien and Tommy Burns together there some time in December, or if this falls through, Joe Cans and Jimmy Britt. They are already talking of purses of $20,000 to s3O,000, and this should make Goldfleld and Manhat- tan sit up and take notice.

BOWLING BOOMING AT CASINO.

Bowling seems to be booming at the Casino and there are several match games arranged to be rolled there in the near future. On Thurs day evening the Litchfield bowling team will come here to oppose the Casino quintet and on Friday night there'll be two match games. One will be between the Meriden and Casino duck pin teams, while the other will be contested by the Coe Brass team of Torrington and the Benedict & Burnham five. Next week the New Britain rollers will come to this city and the Casino team will endeavor to give them a wal loping.
 Through the efforts of the bowlers who patronize the Casino alleys a league may be organized between Waterbury, Meriden, New Britain and Bristol. A meeting was to have been held in this city last evening. but because of the weather was post poned until next Friday night.
 Barney Bostwick and Frank Beardsley proved too much for Steele and Swift of New Haven at the Casino alleys last evening. and defeated the Elm city bowlers in four out of seven strings. Because of the weather the attendance was not large. but those present saw some fairly good bowling. Steele had high single with 2ss and the visitors had the high score for one frame. making i30 in the third. The score:

SETTING THE CLOCK AHEAD

1t IS a common thing to find the clocks in nine out of ten house holds either 15 minutes or half an hour fast, and should you happen to be in hurry or mention the fact that you have to be going, you are at once reassured by the fact that you have no cause to hurry, as the clock is so much ahead of the time, says the New York News.
 Has it ever occurred to you why clocks are usually put ahead. Some physicians have said that it IS due to laziness, for it is such d satisfaction to the lazy man to find when he has to get up at seven ln the morning and strains his half-closed eyes to look at the clock, that it is a little fast.
 Said matchmaker when asked about the subject:
 "Yes, it is peculiar thing with most people to put their clocks fast, and while there may be some satisfaction in it when it comes to dozing little longer, there is real ly no advantage in it, for when you wake up, say, at six and glance at the clock and it registers six the fact remains that it is a half hour fast. While this may make you feel easier, knowing that you still have 30 minutes to doze, confess l don't see much advan- tage in it.
 "Vhy net have the clock right? It is the same thing in the end.
 Suppose railroads were to put this into practice. how many trains do you think people would miss thereby? This putting clocks fast is really only pleasant form of deception which people like to practice on themselves, but it does more harm than good"
