A Little Afraid of Work.

ibid you advertise for a boy, sir?'
YES Have you come In answer to
the advertisement? 2"
"Yes, sir, but I'd like to know first
what you mean by saying you want
boy who is not afraid of work"
ITS plain enough, isn't it,"
''P'r'aps 1t is, sir, but should think
you'd rather have boy that was lit
tie afraid of work-just enough afraid
of it to catch hold Of it and wrestle
with it, and down it, and jump on it,
and get the best of it, and show it that
1t won't get a chance to prove too much
for him. That's the kind of boy
should think you'd like instead Of the
kind that isn't afraid Of work. Why,
knew boy once who wasn't the least
mite afraid of it, and he'd rub up
against it. and walk right into the cage
where they kept 1t, and let it eat off
his hand. and at the same time never
NEEDLE with it enough to soil his fin
ger tips"
That's enough, young fellow; the
Job is yours"

RACING AT NEW ORLEANS.
Preparing for the Coming Winter
Meeting.

NEW ORLEANS, La, November p
Harry White is busily signing up stables
for the winter racing here. He has both
City Park and the Fair Grounds to look
after this season, and has been particu-
larly successful in his labors. Among
recent additions to the list are J. J. Law
Ter, s; Brownleigh stable. 6; J. G.. Nc
Cafferty, L. Blue Book, King Cobalt.
Hands Off are among the good ones
while McCafferty has Big Ben, Flaxman
Grimaldi, Druid Frizett. Charley, Masks
and Faces. McQuiddy and others.
In speaking of the work that has been
done In remodeling the Fair Grounds. Mr.,
White said: Work on the FAR Grounds
course has been completed, and the con-
tractors who have charge of affairs within
a short time will turn the course over to
the Crescent City Jockey Club. Since
the racing season closed last spring a
large force of men has been at work on
the old course, and now it compares ia.
vorably with any in the country. Wher
1t was decided TO tear away the old
grand stand and old paddock and office:
the entire steel framework of the Union
Park racing plant at ST. Louis was pur-
chased at a cost of $50 600 and brought
to New Orleans. The grandstand is 1863
feet long and its tiers of seats may easily
be incre ased, although at present it vii
easily accommodate from 1900 to 1900
people.

TRAINING IN STUFFY ROOM.
Reasoning of Owen Moran, the Eng
Esh Pugilist.

NEW YORK, November 2-Owen
Moran, the little English fighter insists
on training In a hot, stuffy room. and
breathing fetid air, so that the foul at
mosphere swallowed at the ringside will
not be an unaccustomed visitor to his
lungs. The idea is rather English, but it
may have some sound reasoning for a
basis.
I've always trained in a hot, stuffy
room" explained the little Briton. 1--WE
do it that way in the old country, and 1
believe it jolly good plan"
In the meantime the room In Bohem's
roadhouse on Staten Island wherein he
and Johnny Sommers were pounding each
other all over the ring was reeking with
an atmosphere that one could have sawed
up and laid out in blocks. But they
went right ahead, with the seconds fan
ming it down their threats between
rounds.
Take any of your fight clubs, for In
stance" Moran argued land. You know
the air is jolly thick around the ringsida,
especially when the crowd begins to
smoke. We've got to breathe 1t there,
so why not get used to it here? If we
should box in the fresh air every day we
would find it deucedly ard to stand it
when they put us up in a crowded club
room, d'you see? The foul air would make
US dizzy, and the eat would knock us
out That's why I think it best to go
through our milling in place like this"
