SAVES HIS LIFE BY T.
MAIN STRENGTH

PUEBLO, Colo, Feb, 17.-John Kane
suffered a stroke of paralysis today but
It is believed that, because of his great
strength, he will survive. The stroke
was. due to an experience which few
men have encountered and lived.
Kane, who Is a powerful man, was at
work in the smelter Wednesday when
he was caught I'm a belt which was
travelling at terrific speed AS soon as
he realized that he was going toward
sure death he seized with one hand that
portion of the belt above, and with tho
other that portion beneath him. BY an
almost superhuman effort he stopped
the machinery which these belts ope-
rated. He then called for help, and 1t
was but a moments work to release
him. When he found he was safe he
had barely strength to walk. He
seemed we'll for day or two, but this
morning suffered the stroke of paraly-
sis, which the doctors say is due to the
shock.

ASCOT DERBY
COMES NEXT
CLASSIC EVENT WILL BE RUN
FRIDAY
Nominations Make Field the Choicest
Ever Prepared to Face the
Barrier at Local
Track

Eyes of the race going public are now
focused in anticipation of the Ascot
Derby, which Is to be run at the local
track Washington's birthday. Featured
as is the Ascot handicap the coming
Derby Is in reality Los Angeles classic
turf event of the year, bringing TO-
gether as 1t does the best three-year-
olds on the coast, and probably the
classlest field ever sent to the south
end barrier.
Among those entered is Colonel Jack,
which won a number of good races
here early in the season, recently cover
ing a mile in the likely time of 1:4O12;
Laughery, which headed good held
of handicap horses Saturday will also
be out.
Zethus has been nominated to start
and will probably be well supported,
having beaten the best three -year-olds
at the track Molesey should be there
or thereabouts at the finish, as he has
won q stake and flashed to the wire
we'll UP with the strongest handicap
runners on the course.
Greene is being given a special prep
for this race and In all probability the
crack jockey, Radtke, will be pilot.
Fit and ready, san Alviso is to en-
ter from the Elmwood farm. Follow
ers of the turf do not forget his grand
performance in finishing second to
Iivius after unseating his rider, and
then running away for half mile {.
T. Boots Is very desirouS of winning
the Derby and will have a royal chance
with the nerVy Alviso.
Kilter will be j. L. Holland entry
and there is no better man on the track
than Frank Regan when it comes TO
pointing horse for certain race Re-
gan sadded Masterston, last year
Derby winner. and trained both oars

opening handicaps of 1905 and 1906
John Brink is placing reliance on
Ampedo and as Johns heart is set on

go to the post primed to his best
Sam Hildreth will ship the good
three -year-old Tony Faust in an effort
to lift the rich purse, and may trot out
Jockey Williams to pilot the animal.
Rudolph Spreckels will have st. Elm
wood ready for the race of his life. and
Mr.. Boots, former owner of the horse,
thinks we'll of his chances.
Milshora will also start, but must
improve greatly over past perform
ances before being considered danger
Gus.
Walhauser will surely send Edwin T.
Fryer to the post and If able to secure
a good rider will place Livius with him.
Both of these horses like a route and
should be running when some of the
others are looking for a feather bed.
1t will be a great surprise If R. F.
Carman fails to send a representative
to the barrier, as he is a thorough
sportsman. Arimo and Allerion may
bear the New Workers. colOrs. The
former should be the most formidable
candidate as he has thus far held every
thing safe in the three-year-old divi-
sion and may go the post favorite.
Should Allerion enter he will act as
pacemaker.
Thomas H. Williams has nominated
six colts for the big event and may
send down one of the sextet to compete
for Derby honors.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Feb. ia
five-foot rattlesnake has become the
special pet of Mayor Stoy and occupies
luxurious quarters in his private office.
The snake has five rattles, which it
rattles joyously on the approach of Mr..
Stoy.
Since it's arrival here several days
ago the snake has had the run of the
mayors private room, with the result
that everyone, excepting the mayor,
has given the place a wide berth. The
janitor has refused to clean the room
and the mayors pretty typewriters
have been thrown into state border

The snake, which Mr.. Stoy secured
on a hunting trip in the south, has
learned to come to Mr.. Stoy at his call.
It's favorite haunt is on the top of the
mayors desk, where it will remain for
hours at a time. Mr.. Stoy says the

MUD HORSES

EXPECTED THAT TRACK WILL
BE SOFT
Selling Platers to Be Given a Chance
of Earning Their Oats, and Form
Cannot Be Strongly
Considered

Probabilities are that the track will
not be fast at Ascot this afternoon and
mudarks may have another inning.
The poorer class of selling platers VIII
be given a chance to show their ability
and picking the winners will be a hard
task unless the blue pencil gets in
some of its work and reduces the large
fields.
The first race is a very open affair,
In which -year-olds seem to have
a shade the best of II on the weight
proposition. Curriculum likes the soft
going and made such good impress
sion his only out here that he VIII be
the one the winner will have to beat
Red Garter also likes heavy track
and should be n contender all the way
Slickaway has a heavy package to
carry and should get the show, with an
outside chance to place. J. c. Clem
II he runs to his last race, will be a
dangerous factor all the way.
Maiden two-year- olds carded to start
in the second race are a poor lot and
form cannot very well be considered.
Banward looks best of the lot as he
ran a good race his only start and
should improve over that race. Macall
showed speed on occasions and is about
due to carry on his speed. Gigana may
be third as the others have not shown
anything to warrant them chance.
Young Davis, If he is anywhere near
the form he showed the earlier part
of the meeting, should win the third
race. Piquet looks next best and should
about be second. Chancellor Walworth
and Lucrece may fight it out for show
money. Joyner and Susie Christian
have outside chances to be in the trio.
Los Angeleno will take a lot of beat
ing in the fourth race as he outclasses
this bunch and should romp in an easy
winner. Stoessel and Jack Adams may
finish second and third in the order
named. and if anything splits them it
NAV be Freesias. She improves with
each race and is about due. lnvictus
has an outside chance only to finish
among the first three.
Confessor, If he runs one of his good
races, should beat the lot opposed to
i'm in the fifth race, but he is unre-
liable. The Roustabout can do better
than he did Saturday and this may
be his day. Geo. E. Miner should get
some part of the money as his last race
was a good one. Sir Caruthers has
an outside chance to win. Line OF Life
runs better on a fast track.
The sixth race is a hard one, as Fon-
casta. Prince Frederick, Bologna, Ru-
binon and Mountebank all have a good
chance. Riders and racing luck must
be considered. Foncasta, if Preston
rides, will be the one to beat as he likes
a soft track. Prince Frederick, If he
runs kindly and does not sulk, Will
have a good chance to beat Foncasta.
Rubinon and Mountebank will be
close up at the finish. If the track is
not muddy Bologna may beat them all
as she is fast and can go seven fur
longs. May finish in this order: FOn-
casta, Prince Frederick, Rubinon.

BURG0MASTER SAID TO BE
GREATEST FOUR-YEAR-OLD
Special to The Herald.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-In the opinion
of the Jockey clubs official handicap
per, w. S. Vosburgh, than whom there
is no better judge in the United States,
Burgomaster Harry Payne Whitney's
great 4-year-old colt, is the best race
horse in America.
This fact is shown in the allotment
of weights made by Mr.. Vosburgh for
the Suburban handicap, to be run at
the Sheepshead Bay course on June 20.
To Burgomaster is assigned 127
pounds. while Accountant, whom he
beat so decisively in the Belmont
stakes last year, is rated three pounds
behind him and one pound better than
Olseau, his stable companion.
If sex allowance is taken into con-
sideration, Artful, who also belongs to
Mr.. Whitney, is rated the equal of
Burgomaster, but in actual weight to
be carried she has five pounds less.
Mr.. Vosburgh has a high opinion of
John Madden's 3-year-old Salvidere
He has assigned 108 pounds to the son
OF BeIVldere, four pounds more than
any other horse of his age is asked to
carry, Electioneer, the winner of the
Futurity, getting in with 1O4 pounds.
Burgomaster is not in the Brooklyn,
ana IN the race Accountant holds the
post of honor, with 1875 pounds. Co
Between, who yet has to show a really
ftrst-class performance with weight up,
comes second on the list, with 12O
pounds, one pound more than Sir HUI
ron and DR.. Gardner, who are rated
equals at 119.
Nealon, whose entry John w. Gates
compels the Jockey club to receive,
gets in the Suburban with 113 pounds.
and one more in the Brooklyn, and if
there is horse in either event that
looks to have been weV treated he is
the one.
Taking the two handicaps as a whole
they reflect great credit on Mr.. Vos-
burgh and are sure TO live up to the
high regulations established by their
predecessors.
