Deterioration of the Mastln.

Deterioration of the Mastlff.
Some breeds there are that have
been driven into obscurity by the un-
bridled craving of breeders for par
tcular properties. Most lamentable of
these is the case of the mastiff who,
15 or 20 years ago, was the king of
the heavy brigade. Size and massive
heads became the alpha and omega of
the breeders. Increase in size result
ed In numbering, overfed apathetics,
that could not get out of their own
way, and only by an effort could sup
port their catfish carcasses on sprawl
Ing legs and splay feet, says r. F.
Mayhem, in Everybody's Magazine.
And In the intensity of desire to pro-
duce massive heads, the hither end of
the wretched animal was forgotten,
and paralyZed or semiparalyzed hind
quarters were the result. Hence, the
downfall Of the mastiff and, in a meas
ure, Of the st. Bernard Their former
position in the dog world is now occu-
pied by the Great Dane, the deerhound
and the Russian wolfhound.

Mexico is prosperous under the gold
standard. The republics fiscal re-
ceipts ($50,29S,O0O United States cur
rency) for the year ended June 30,
1906. were far in excess of other years
and much beyond what was expected
even by the most optimistic economists.
El Imparcial, local newspaper, says
the income II years ago was only $685.
100000 United States currency, and
concludes that the decided advance to
$50. 100000 is due to careful financing.
The gradual growth in the fiscal re-
ceipts during the last II years is the
outcome Of increased business pros
,perity and not of increased taxation.

FOR $500 A SIDE.
South Hadley Falls Runner May
 Meet Worcester Man.

A professional foot race is likely in Worcester shortly for $500 side, possibly two. says the Worcester Tel egram. Fred L. Britton, of South Hadley, Falls was in Worster short time ago, during his visit expressing a desire to race Eddie O'Connor a quarter-mile run for side bet. He authorized friend to put up for felt to bind the match, if any O'Connor money made its appearance.
 The O'Connor money came out, but Britton's friends didn't post forfeit. He will probably communicate with Britton and give the latter chance to post his money and make the match.
 Not only was an offer made to back O'Connor against Britton for quar- ter-mile run for $500 side, but an- other offer was made to match Tom Holland against the South Hadley Falls runner at half-mile for the same amount of money.
 Britton was in Worcester during the winter and has since been mixed up in running matches in Southern countries. Although he has been on the cinder path for many years, he keeps up wonderfully we'll, and Is credited with being always ready to make a match when he thinks he has an even break.

BASEBALL NOTES.

I Sheckard has been weak against left handlers this season. He clonts the starboard fingers as well as ever, but has done little against the south paws. In tWenty-two games he struck out nine times.
 l Speaking of Keeler, Lajoie and others who seldom strike out, Kid l Elberfeld is right in that class. It is a long time between whiffs with the Kid. His bat seldom fails to get at least a piece of the ball.
 McGraw has not been on the coaching lines in a championship game this season--not at home at any rate. But the position of the team shows the effects of his able direction.
 Tt is ridiculous to say that the players of to-day are not far in ad- vance of those of twenty-five years ago." says Fielder Jones. "The game has improved in every department. In the old days there were about fifteen or twenty good players, and, those few showed the others up. Nowadays every man must be star, or he does not play"
 Criger and Unglaub of the Boston Americans disposed of seventeeni dishes of ice cream in less than an hour in Cleveland the other day. according to the best information obtainable on the subject. The his-t toric astronomical feat of eating a l quail day for thirty days would be cinch for anybody that could do, that.
 Tad Jones of Yale must have big, average. He has been punishing thei ball in every game, and against lift of Brown made a triple and a single. There's big league timber in this col-i lege backstop. but 1t is very doubtful whether he would play professional ball.
 Sam Kennedy of New London is looking longingly at Cy Miller and is trying to persuade Dan O'Neil that Springfield has pitchers enough without Miller. For answer Dan points to the fact that 1t cost him an even $1,000 to get Mclaughlin, Cur tiss and Rising from New London.
 
 It's looking pretty black for the new outlaw organization, the Att lantic league. In Newark on We'd nesday the attendance for the game with Chester was only 200 and it has been much the same way in some of the other places.
 Providence figures on using Jack Hannifin again in short time. Jack was slightly injured recently, but Manager Hugh Duffy claims he will be with the Grays and that there will not be any forfeited games, despite protests against his playing.
 The mayor of Marion, Ind, is a fan of royal blood. When the Marion players were arrested and taken be- fore him on charge of Sunday ball playing he put the case over until next Tuesday. released the bunch without bail and presented to them a box of fine cigars.

Fifteen Starters For Brooklyn Hand-
 fcnp Purse of s20,0Vo.
 NEW YORK, May 20.-Thousands of New Workers went down to the little mile oval at Gravesend to witness the running of the Brooklyn handicap, the blue ribbon event of the American turf.
 Fifteen horses are in the great race for the S20,0O0 purse, and the handi- cappers were at loss to choose a fa- vorite from among a half dozen of these, so evenly were they matched.
 Accountant, the big money winner of last year: Tokalon, the southern mare which won the event last season; Go Between, Dandelion, Superman, Salvl- dere, Nealon and Arctic are among these. Superman, James R. Keene's Commando colt, last Thursday stepped over a mile and sixteenth at Belmont park in 1:44 3-5, equaling the worlds record for that distance.
 Accountant. Go Between, Salvidere and Dandellon are looked upon as the ones which will likely force Superman to extend himself if he is to bring the rich prize to the Keene stable for the fourth time. salvldere was wonder ful performer last year.
 Tomorrow the Chicago National league team will make Its first appear ance in New York this year to cross bats with the Giants. Both teams are playing wonderful ball, and the series of three games will no doubt be the hardest fought contests of the season.

WARM WEATHER COMING.
"If You Don't Back Me Up Will
 Jump," Says Red Waller.

It is now up to the members of the Bridgeport baseball team to retain fRed" Waller on the team. If they play the game as it should be played. batting and fielding as they are able to and supporting their pitchers as they should be supported, Waller will probably remain with the team.
 He was so disgusted with the work of the team when they let Springfield beat them that he said before the contest had been over an hour:
 If they do not look out I shall jump and leave the team. No one can blame me, as with such support as I have been given in the past two games it is enough to discourage any pitcher. I shall most certainly jump unless the team does better work"

A Correction.

The manager of the St Anne's base ball team wishes to correct the item that was in the Republican this morning which stated that the St Anne's substituted the Sunshines yes terday, which was not the case. The St Anne's only helped the Sunshines by placing three of their players in the game. In the eighth and ninth innings our pitcher took Quinn's place in the box and struck out five men, and only one hit was made.

WORLDS SWIMMING RECORD.
Figures for Three-quarters of Mile
 Broken Twice fin Australia.

Broken Twice fin Australia.
 The three-quarters of a mile swim
 ming championship of New South
 Wales took place at the Drummoyne
 Baths. Sydney, on March 23 and the
 result was a new worlds record for Reg Realy. brother of Cecil Healy, who 1t will be remembered gave Daniels such hard chase last year both at Athens and England. Healy swam the distance In the grand time of IS minutes 2-5 seconds, and this wipes away all former worlds records, the top notch mark hereto fore being IS minutes 24 2-5 seconds by Ellington of England before he was made professional. Healy him self had mark of IS minutes 43' 2-5 seconds, which was the Australi- an record. Two other swimmers took part in the contest, O. Dickman and H. Hardwick. and they were close up at the finish. Nothing very noteworthy occurred till about 800 yards had been covered and then Healy crawled up on Hardwick, who had been leading from the start They swam stroke for stroke for a while and after about 500 yards Healy drew out and led to the finish, wining by twenty-eight yards from Dickman and forty-five yards from Hardwick.
 But this mark of Healy's, good as it was, did not hold the pride of place very long, for four days afterward, on March 27. 1t was lowered by q swimmer named Springfield. His time was IS minutes seconds, thereby knocking 2-5 of a second of Healy's mark. But this performance of Springfeld's was much better than it looked on paper. as 1t was tho first three-quarters of a one mile contest, the time for which was 2s minutes s seconds.
 According 10 the current gossip of the Australian sporting papers to hand there will not be team of Australian swimmers for the 0lYm- pic games at England next year, so that the Englishmen and other yislt- tors will have all the glory to them selves The reason of this is that the Australians expected an English team to the Antipodes this year, and as they failed to go the Australians will act in like manner next year.
