HARRIMAN'S BEARS
ARRIVE AT THE RR0NX
Two Rare and Valuable Specimens of
Alaskan Cubs, Gift of FInaneIer,
Housed In Geological
Gardens

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-TWO Alaskan
brown bear cubs, dubbed the Iceberg
Twins till formally christened, the gift
of Mr. Edward H. Hartman, arrived at
the geological garden in Bronx park
early yesterday morning and proceeded
at once to start a trough house."
Mr.. Hartman, while on visit in the
northwest, offered a reward for Alaskan
brown bear cubs. and three months ago
native hunters at Kadiac Island caught
the cubs that arrived here yesterday
after the mother bears killed one of the
hunters and was herself killed.
On the way eastward from Seattle
change of diet from snowballs and
trapped fish to dining car delicacies made
the Iceberg Twins i'll, and 1t was neces-
sary to make halt at Denver for treat
ment Preparation had been made at the
Bronx for their arrival at o'clock
Monday evening, but it was after mid
night, and all the zoo attendants except
Messrs. Ferguson and Howard, keepers,
and DR.. w. Reed Blair, had left when the
Hartman cubs arrived.
When the first bear was dragged from
his crate by a chain he kicked the crate
over, struck at Ferguson, and, catching
him at the collar line, made shoestrings
of his clothing. DIR. Blair threw a net
over him, and with twenty-foot pole
hooked to his collar the cub was showed
into his cage in the Hospital building.
The other cub, fighting viciously, was
transferred with less difficulty.
According to DR.. Blair the Hartman
cubs are the rarest and most valuable
specimens OF any kind received at the
Bronx in years Both are suffering from
gastritis and they are being fed pep
tonized milk and lime water.

RACERS
HAVE HARD TEST
STRUGGLE OVER MOUNTAINS AND
STREAM
Shower Bath Certain for Drivers Of
EImore and White Steamer
When They Race
Sunday

A hundred-mile struggle over mountain,
plain and valley, from an elevation of
$50 feet to an altitude of over 1900, is the
task before A. j. Smith of the Gilmore
automobile agency and Captain Harmon
D. Ryus in F. G. Fenner's White steam
er next Sunday morning In the race to
the Big Horn mine on Mount Badly. A
could not be selected to test the strength
of the machines and the grit and en-
durance of the rival drivers.
Besides the rough mountain trails and
dusty valley roads the course lies over
a route that necessitates the fording of
streams about fifty or sixty times.
In places the stream is followed for
a considerable distance, the water being
over knee deep. This would not be so
trying for machine going at an or
binary speed, but when the racers, going
at rate of thirty or more miles per
hour, strike ford they will be soaking
wet after the first crossing.
The two machines will start at day.
light from Los Angeles and will be half
an hour apart at the start. They should
reach the mine early Sunday morning.
There is $1,000 on both sides to go to
the winner of the race. Fenner was
winner in last years race against Leon
T. Shelters REQ, which broke down on
the road. Smith was not content 10 see
the laurels rest for all time with the
steam machine, and sent in his challenge
to Fenner for another test this year.
Smith has been in a number of races,
knows the course of the present race
perfectly and has every confidence in his
car. Captain Ryus has also been over
the road a number of times in Fenner' 8
car and claims to be making better time
than did the steamer in last years con-
test.
Today and tomorrow will be spent put
ting the finishing touches on the ma
chimes before the contest of Sunday.
They will be strengthened in every place
that has shown any weakness and every
thing done that can possibly insure them
against breakdown. After the race a
big celebration will take place at the
mine for the contestants and their friends.

AUTOMOBILE MUST MAKE
A MILE IN A MINUTE
1908 Peerless Sold on Condition II
Develops notwithstanding Speed,
Which Dealer Believes
Can Be Done

H. o. Harrison of the II. o. Harrison
Automobile company evidently has great
confidence in his 1908 Peerless.
One of these machines NHas received
two days ago at the Harrison company's
garage.
1t is a beautiful piece of mechanism
and the engine is Almost noiseless.
1t took the fancy of viii Hook, who
Immediately entered into contract for
the purchase of the machine upon cordi-
ton it would make a mile in one minute.
Mr.. Harrison accepted the contract on
that condition and this afternoon will
go to the Palisades TO fill the condition
Of the contract.
II Mr. Harrison's machine can make
the mile in a minute on an oiled road 1t
will certainly be the most remarkable
speed record made in this part of the
country for a similar distance.
The big machine develops about 10
horsepower and the owner appears to
have no doubt of its accomplishing the
feat today.

SECRETARY CASTS DOUBT,
ON "OLD lR0NSIDES"
Official of the Naval Committee Says
the FrIgate Constitution Is
of Little Historical
Value

BOSTON, Mass Sept. 12t-Benjamin H
Miller, secretary of the house naval COM
mittee which is inspecting the Boston
navy yard, made some pointed comments
today regarding the historic frigate Con-
stitution against the removal of which TO
Annapolis strong protest has been made
here. He says:
mot a piece of wood the size of q tooth
pick in the present vessel is from the OLD
Ironsides of 1872, in which was put very
little of the wood of the Old Ironsides. AS
for the claim that Boston should keep the
Constitution 1t is all rot. What Boston
needs to do IL she wants to keep the boat
is to pay back to congress the s12OOoO
which that body paid out for the fixing
up of the boat.
1.-The vessel should be taken away from
Charlestown, as the people of this section
of the country have no more right 10 the
boat than the people of Oklahoma DIT
Dakota. When the Constitution was last
fixed over congress appropriated $4,000
for the work That money came from the
people of this country at large, and not
from Massachusetts, alone, as people OF
the Bay State have always maintained
This ship is taking too much room az
the navy yard already. What should DO
done with the Constitution is to tow her
to the various naval points in the country
so that all people of all sections could ne
given a chance to see the ship.
MANY, persons labor under the delusion
also that the Ironsides of today Is the
Ironsides that rendered such service In
the war of 1872. Nothing could be further
from the truth The old Ironsides was
destroyed many years ago and the vessel
that today bears the name of the Consti-
tuition is another vessel"

NEW PORT, r. L, Sept. IA wire
less message states that the Lusitania
was 100 miles from the Nantucket
lightship at Q o'clock tonight. She
was expected to pass the lightship
about IL a. m. If the weather Is clear
The Lusitania passed during the day,
the White Star steamer Celtic and the
French line steamer La Province, both
bound in the same direction. All three
of these vessels were in communlca-
ton with Sable Island about noon to-
day.
The Lusitania will be the first ocean
liner to enter this port through AM
brose channel, the new waterway The
Lusitania has negotiated the rough
seas which she encountered on her
voyage with no difficulty and only
score of the 1000 on board have suffered
any indisposition.
It is thought she has been delayed by
fogs.
with clear weather she will pick
up some of the lost time.
One of the remarkable features OF the
Lusitanias voyage according to Wire
less dispatches Is the extraordinary
immunity from sea- sickness enjoyed by
the passengers. The sea has been
quite rough the past day or two, Abut
according to the ships doctor there
were only twenty mild cases of sea
sickness among the 1000 persons on the
great vessel. :,
The almost smoothness of sailing, 1t
is stated astonished every one and IL
would almost be possible to play bill
liards on board The interest in the
advent of the Lusitania is indicated In
the great number of messages that are
being sent to and from the big steamer.
Ovation Expected
At the offices OF the Marconi Wire
less Telegraph company here 1t was
said that the amount of business OF
fered surpassed all previous figures for
single ship. If fair weather prevans
Friday the incoming of the Lusitania
will be the occasion of the greatest
marine ovation ever given to any
steamship
There will be fleet of boats of all
sizes off Sandy Hook, which, with the
steam pilot boats will be the first to
give the liner a welcome. Of the mar
rows large crowd of excursionists on
the iron steamboat Sirius will see the
steamship come up the new Ambrose
channel and follow her to the pier.
They are friends and relatives of the
thousand or more cabin passengers on
the ship and will be out to cheer the
ship and the returning voyagers.
BY arrangement ,set in motion by
Frederick B. Dalzell. president of the
Association for the Protection of Com
merce, an immense peace flag will be
displayed from the tower of the Singer
building as the Lusitania passes the
statue of liberty and simultaneously
with the welcome from the hundreds of
whistles great flags from staff on
the tower will signal in the interna-
tional code welcome"

MAGNATES
TO ARRIVE TODA Y
BALDWIN AND GEORGE ROSE ON
THE WAY
Little Doubt Exists Now That Track
viii Be Built at BaIdwin's
Ranch In Time for
Season

| The three men who will determine
the fate of racing in Southern Califor-
MIA will be in the city today. Mr..
Schneider is already here and Lucky
Baldwin and George Rose will arrive
here some time today.
Mr.. Rose is coming from New YORK
to investigate the possibilities OF build
ing a race track at Baldwins ranch.
Just how far negotiations nave peen
carried is secret which the principals
in the affair have not given out.
The desire of the race magnates is to
secure some place outside the city
limits where enthusiasts of the track
may enjoy races without the POSSIBLE
ity of tickle regulations and imposi-
lions by the municipal authorities.
The only thing that will prevent the
building of the proposed race course at
Baldwin's ranch will be failure to
agree with Baldwin on the price per
acre of land and conditions of control
of the grounds
. 1t has long been Mr.. Baldwin's amDl-
ton to have a fine race course on his
ranch Rose and Schrieber represent
enough capital to make the project
success if they reach satisfactory terms
with the owner of the land The re-
cent visit of A. M. Allen, the well
known race track builder, to the Bald
win ranch to make estimates for build
ing the proposed track indicates nego-
tiations hace gone further than the
promoters of the scheme have given out
to the public.
Before leaving New York Mr.. Rose
gave out the following statement to
the press:
while nothing has been closed alb
solutely, 1 look forward to no obsta-
cles 1 hope that the interests con-
cerned in Mr.. Baldwin's track and
those that conducted Ascot will act in
unison, or, in other words, be one.
This is not yet certainty, but I an
ticipate no intervening obstacles.
Sunday, I leave for Chicago, where
1 have an appointment with gentlemen
representing the Arcadia track. Thai
terms fair to them and to us will be
agreed upon I have no doubt. One
thing is certain, there will be no racing
at Ascot, as we do not seek clashes II
is about certain that we will have rae
ing at Arcadia, which. though easy OF
access, is beyond the possible limits OF
the city of Los Angeles for many years
People in Southern California have
shown that they want racing and the
horsemen have shown SO positively
their desire to race there that the man.
| agement of Ascot takes considerable
pride in advocating the change to Ar
cadia under existing conditions. OF
| course we might not come to fair an6
! amicable terms, but judging from the
overtures made on both sides, a failure
| to agree is so remote a contingency
| that it is scarcely to be considered as
a possibility"

ATHLETIC CLUB TO
BOX IN OCTOBER
VAN COURTS PUPILS ARE IN
GOOD FORM
Good Card Promised for Annual Box
ing ExhIbition-Ten Bouts Of
Three Rounds Each
Scheduled

The annual boxing exhibition Of the
Los Angeles Athletic club will take place
the last week in October.
The exact date has not yet been set
Van Courts pupils have been training
several weeks for the coming contest
and are beginning now to round into
form. Many OF the men who are to
take part in the exhibition are the same
that took part last year. Every one who
saw last years bouts were highly de-
lighted with the showing made.
Van Court is the most clever trainer
and instructor In this part Of the coun.
try. His boys always make good
showing. His generalehip is always zap
parent In every contest in which any
of his pupils take part
Young Lauder made a fine showing In
the recent contests of the Pacific Ath.
.etic club, largely because Of the head
work imbibed from Van Court. The
boys who are to take part in the com
ing exhibition have already been paired
off and are working daily with the gloves
Ten bouts are scheduled for the COM
ing event. These will be three rounds
of three minutes each. Originally 1t wac
intended to make each fight four rounds
but time will not permit The following
couples will be lined up agairst each
other:
How They Line Up
Ike Levy, 120 pounds, will take on Billy
Graham at 122 pounds; Valley Wheeler
and Gus Fratello will, mix 1t at about liz
pounds Jacoby and Montgomery will pail
off at about 135 pounds; BROKER will
meet Fourtney, the two weighing in at
about 140; George Cameron, las pounds
will meet E. Wicker, who will. weigh
about $50 pounds; Cliff Reuman. at 154
will fight Dick Donegan at 1907 Hineman
and Billy Mcclellan will both weigh about
1856; Sam Coulter and Josh Marks will
meet at about 1870 pounds ringside weight;
Harry Barlow will probably have a bout
with Lowe. The tenth couple has moi
yet been selected but there are num-
Der of candidates for places on the pro-
gram from which 1t car be supplied.
The exhibition will be held In the cub
gymnasium and is for club members and
their friends. 1t Is for the purpose OF
showing the improvement made by the
boys during the year and is an annual
feature of the club events. The boys
will not try for knockout blows and the
contest will be friendly one In every
respect. At the same time there will be
no love taps and the boys already know
how to take an occasional wallop and
are not backward about giving one when
the opportunity affords.
