CUTLER CLASS B
BILLIARD CHAMPION

NEW YORK, December ALBERT Cutler
became the champion of the shortstops
last night by defeating Harry Cline in the
play off Of the tie for first place in the 1872
balk line billiard tournament for profess
SIGNALS. He defeated the Philadelphia ex-
pert by a score of 400 to go in Days
Academy, before a crowd of billiard lovers
which filled the place completely.
The game was easy for Cutler all the
way, for the reason that Cline played one
of the poorest games he ever put up and
never was able to get going effectively. His
stroke was out of gear, and what with
KISSES lineups and hitting the balls too
hard he added hard luck to bad shooting.
The Bostonian, on the other hand, was
fairly steady. though his best run was A.
He did not play the balls as closely as is his
wont, but his execution was admirable. and

LAWSON'S TROTTERS
UNDER THE HAMMER

NEW YORK December 4.-Dreamwold,
the faryland for horses which Thomas w.
Lawson of Boston, created a few years
ago at a cost of several million dollars,
Is not after all, to be abandoned as
breeding stud for trotters. This was made
plain by events which transpired yester-
day at Madison Square Garden, where
eighty-two trotting bred horses belonging
to Mr.. Lawson were sold under. the ham,
mer by the Fasig-Tipton company.
In consigning them to the sale it was
thought that Mr.. Lawson was selling all
the horses of Dreamwold, and that he in
tended to give up breeding and go out OF
business. But an analysis of the catalogue
revealed the fact that several of his best
brood mares. such as Emily, 2. IL, and Tosa.
219h. together with number OF their
filly foals had not been included, and that
it was not so much a dispersal sale as a
cutting down of his horse stock.
This was more apparent when, after the
sale. Mr.. Lawson repurchased Daredevil,
200, the trotting stallion at the head of his
stud, from w. H. Reid, to whom the hand
some black son of Mambrino King had
been struck off on a bid of $9.7OO. NO
sooner had the horse been sold than his
former owner telegraphed to Ed. A. Upton
to repurchasc him at any reasonable ad-
vance if the buyer would sell. Mr.. Reid.
who is wealthy real estate operator, con-
scented to accept a profit of $1,000, and
Daredevil will return to Dreamwold. 1t
was Mr.. Reds second successful specula-
ton since the Garden sale opened, he hay-
ing bought Lord Roberts. 2O7h, last week
fer 81 200 and resold him for 1850 to Judge
w G. Bennett, Of Parkersburg. W. Va
For eighty-one trOtters Mr.. Lawson re-
ceiyed $50, 4O5 an average of 5000. Thirty
eight brood mares brought $4,000. an aver
age of 1854. One three-year-old brought
si6OO. Seven two-year olds brought s., 175,
an average Of $453. Fourteen yearlings
brought S, go, an average of 1913. Twenty
weanlings brought $3.50. an average of
1919. The total for the twenty-seven young
things by Daredevil was $9765, an average
of 1862 AS Mr.. Lawson has said that it
cost him something like 81, 100 to raise each
colt, Independent of the original cost of his
not represent a profit apparently. But no
one who knows anything about trotters ex-
poets to make a profit In breeding them
or campaigning Them
At the evening sale after all the Lawson
trotters had been disposed of, the Dream
void stud of trotting bred carriage horses
and ponies was sold. One of the stations
in the collection was Glorious Red Cloud
winner of the Waldorf Astoria Cup for
gig horses at the New York Horse Show
in 1899. He is now in his seventeenth year
]. R. Mcgowan. of Mount Sterling, KY
obtained him for $1,000. Mr.. Lawson paid
10000 for the stallion. Glorious Whirling
Cloud, winner at the New York Horse
Show in 1901. was purchased for s. $50 by
the Tichenor-Grand company. Glorious
Lonnie, pony stallion, went to Thomas
F. Kelly, of Chicago, for $1,000. Thirty
nine carriage horses and ponies realized

HINT OF SCANDAL
AT THE FAIR GROUNDS

NEW ORLEANS, December 4.-The first
hint of scandal at the Fair Grounds came
to light yesterday when the judges decided
to make a thorough investigation of the
ride that Jockey Bedell put up on ]. w
O'Neil, a well-played choice in the second
race. 1t was said after the race that Bedel
made no effort to get away from the post
with his mount, hence the investigation
There was considerable talk about the Fair
Grounds after 1t became known that Bedell
would be called upon to explain. Just what
the outcome of the investigation will be re-
mains to be seen. Juggler, the good three
year-old, who was something of disap-
pointment about the eastern tracks last
summer. simply made a good field appear
like the cheapest bunch of selling platers
that could be gathered together. Juggler
was an even-money favorite and led from

a stout hold at all stages. Summary:

Came Near Dying
Abscess on the Hip = Dreadful Suffering -
Hospital Treatment Failed.
Another Great Cure by
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Charles Z. Hutchins is we'll known
and popular in s. Royalton, VT, being
driver of the stage to and from Chelsea.
He says Of his boy Arthur, now l5,
whose portrait appears below:
He fell on the mill dam and in
iured his hip. An abscess developed
and dreadful sickness followed. The
doctors lanced the abscess and later
performed an operation in the Mary
Fletcher Hospital in Burlington
Arthur came near dying after the
operation, but we got him home and
neighbors said he would certainly die.
In the spring I began taking Hood S
Sarsaparilla, as usual, and gave Arthur
little each day. After week or two
there was a great change in the boy.
He seemed hungry, and one day sur
prised us by exclaiming, How good
my food tastesI' We could soon. see
the color coming into his face, as day
by day he got better, seemed more
lively ana took more interest in things.
The sore is now entirely healed,
there is no pain in hip or limb.
Arthur goes to school every day and
his health could not be better. To our
friends his cure by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla seems miraculous.
