READY FOR CUE MATCH.
Morningstar and Demarest to Begin
Event in Chicago This Week.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Ora Morningstar,
who is TO play George Sutton, holder of
the worlds championship title in eigh-
teen-two billiards, at the Orchestra hall,
has arrived in the city and will appear
tonight in the first evenings play of
his six-night match with Calvin De-
marest, which he is to contest in pre-
paration for his big bout with Sutton.
The match this week will take place
at Mussey's hall and Morningstar will
play 5000 points to Demarest'S 1900
The local followers of Demarest are
confident that the local man will be
able to defeat the easterner with such
a handicap and the belief is quite gen.
eral that he would give the aspirant for
championship honors a hard tussle at
even terms.
Sutton is practicing at his own place
on Adams street The champion always
puts in his practice work by himself,
preferring that method to having any
opponent. The only other prominent
billiardist that practices in that way is
Slosson. Five and six hours of this kind
of work every day has made Sutton
the champion of the world, according to
Thomas Foley, the veteran billiard
man.

New York, Jan. 15.-At the next

that under the present playing rules
the game is not long enough to be
satisfactory. Under the new rules
there were more mo score games be-

years.

short last year, and this fault should
be corrected before we start another

PRAISE FOR ENGLISH HORSES.
Danny Maher Asserts That They Are
the Best in the World.

the Best In the WORLD.
New York, JAN 16.-Repudiating
statements attributed to him, which
made him appear ridiculous because of
some alleged comparisons between Eng
land and America from a racing stand
point. Danny Maher the most pop
ular and successful American jockey
who ever rode in great Britain, said
England's horses over those bred in any
other part of the world.
Asked why he had this opinion.
Maher said:
why do all the breeders of the world
come to England for stock horses I'M
less they are the best? Wh.- did Mr..
Belmont pay $1250O0 for Rock Sand?
Why did Mr. Blanc pay $1S7, 800 for
Flying Fox Why did the South Amer
leans pay S150,00O for Diamond Jubilee?
Why did the Russians pay 100000 for
Galtee More, and for Ard Patrick, why
did they pay the same money? Look at
the December sales at Newmarket,
growing more important each season,
with purchasers from every part of the
world.
1T is true" Maher continued, that
the Derby has been won by an Ameri-
can horse, Iroquois, and that the Grand
Prix has been won by Foxhall, also an
American horse. But it seems to me
that it was a combination of a poor
year for English and French horses,
and that the two named may have
been above the average. certainly do
believe that the English horse is SUI
perior to the French or American-how
much SO I would not venture an opin-
ion, but would be willing to match
Spearmint against Maintenon If any
one thinks the best colt did not win
the French Grand Prix. I have a very
high opinion of Spearmfnt, whom rode
when he won the Derby. 1 have rid
den the Derby winners in 1903, 1905 and
1906-on Rock Sand. Cicero and Spear
mint. I also won the Oaks this year.
1t was on keystone II. The last time
the same rider won the Derby and
Loates won on Sir Visto and La
Sagesse in 1895. 1t was a great many
years before that the same rider won
the Derby and Oaks the same year.

On old gentleman in the north Of
London has been making a series of
interesting experiments with a view
to finding solution to the question
often asked: What becomes of the
countless myriads of pins, ETC., that
are annually lost?"
As he expected, he finds that it is
the dtsinegrating effects of the air
which resolve even these intractable
little instruments into their ele-
ments. He put some hundreds of
brass and steel pins, needles. hair
pins, etc, in a quiet corner of his
garden, where they would be subject
to all the destructive agencies of
dampness, earth, wind, etc, secure
from the predatory hands and dis
turbing feet of inquisitive intruders.
The results are curious. Ordinary
hairpins were the first (taxing 154
days, on an ayerage) to oxidize into
brownish MYSTERIOUS oxide
which was scattered by the wind as
it was formed and not trace of a
single one could be detected at the
er.J of seven months. Common bright
pins took as long as eighteen months
before their combustion was COM
plete, but brass ones had been en-.
tirely turned into green verdigrls
long before that
At the end of fifteen months an or
binary penholder had had It's nib en-.
tirely. rusted away, but the wooden
