NEW YORK, March 2S-E'rom present
belief that in the motor boat sport oil
the coming season the liVeliest OF inter
est will be shown and the entries lor
the several races will be more numerous
than ever before The sport last year
was not particularly attractive except,
perhaps, the contest for the challenge
race week" Of the, Motor Boat club OF
America on the Hudson river. 1ne
cause OF tho indifferent showing was In
part due TO the disincllnation or owners
OF all types of motor craft to engage III
the competitions because of the rules
then in force, but so many changes nave
recently been made in these that con
tlnued objection 10 them cannot De mace
with any sincerity. While nothing deli
mite has been learned as 10 the number
OF high speed boats built or buildihS
will he some new ones: while, ON the
other hand a large number OF cruising
boats will make their appearance. rang
ing all the way from forty to seventy
been impossible to get the cruising DontS
TO take part in racing events, but the
coming season will find difference IN
this respect. .
The Progressive Motor Boat club OF
America win this year have n fleet from
which boats sufficient TO make up
large entry OF either high speed OF pleas
ure cruisers VIII be found.
In all probability the club VIII go INTO
commission on Memorial day, when there
will be Il race from New York 10 PouSh-
keepsie and return, and races over
triangular courses. Then there VIII De
the ocean race New York TO Bermuda,
which will start on juno S; the cruise TO
jamestown. and the International motor
boat contests I'm connection with the eN-
position, in which the club is greatly IN
terested. and the national race meet
ned under the clubs auspices. All thesc
contests, other than those at James
town. will be held on the Hudson river,
and for one OF the race-week matches a
handsome trophy has been offered by
DR.. Louis Newman, q governor OF the
club. for a race from New York TO Al
bany and return. In addition to these
events there will he short cruises for
members which will make up n sched-
ue that will be creditable to the club.
as it Will bring into more deserved
prominence the motor boat industry oil
the country.
Commodore Schroeder will send his
motor boat, the Dixie. abroad. in order
that she may take part in the contest
for the Harmsworth cup. and there is a
possibility that the club VIII send a
second boat across the Atlantic for the
same purpose. This race is fixed Tor
August 3, over the Isle OF Wight course.
and there is the hope entertained that
an American representative will be sue
cossful in this famous match.

Gently the Mayor OF oxford, Councillor
T. j. Brooks, delivered long address on
THE Evils of Betting and Gambling"

and perversIons OF truth. Among other
things the Mayor said that tipsters and
bookmakers some years ago combined 10
give the undergraduates what the tip
sters said was good thing when they
knew at the time they gave ii that there
was not the slightest chance OF win
ming. and the fact OF the matter was
that the bookmakers and the tpsters
shared I'm the profits
Another gem from the Mayors colIec-
ton was the ''he for one would like 10
see all race meetings wiped off the face
of the earth. They brought the scum
OF the country together, and for no good
purpose"
The Sportsman denounces the Mayor.
and says: There are comparatively far

nouncement that there is absolutely no
foundation for the stories that ncgotia-
tiops are under way for such an attrac~

storm Philadelphia for n chance to see
the Cornishman in ring attire against
any kind of an opponent, and especially
against n strong youngster like the
Canadian. Fitz's fighting days, how
ever, seem TO be past.

Dnnyille. VIA Janunrv IA

Danyille. Va. January H. 1907.
During the holidays the seasons were good
for handling. ana, therefore when the sales
were resumed this week the receipts very
large. and have continued heavy each day. The
condition OF the offerings has been better than
usual but still too soft. The quality has been
about an average OF the crop. with perhaps
suinller proportion Of the lowest grades. The
market shows very decided activity, all classes
OF buyers eing eager bidders. and the larger
corporations taking their full proportion OF
the offerings and showing no quarter TO OUT
elders. From the start weather conditions have
been favorable for the farmers to market the
crop. and Mt time have prices showed any
declining tendency; on the contrary. prices have
showed gradual advance from week to week
The farmers have taken advantage Of the sit
ution. and have sold this crop perhaps more
rapidly than ever before. And the buyers. too
have chen eager and better prepared than ever
before to handle the crop expedItiousiy
The spectators have been able to realize
profits on their purchases almost as fast as
they have been able to put them on the mar
kct; md most OF them Eave been willing to
part with their holdings close margins.
Therefore, the Accommodations of stocks In deal
ers' hands have at no time been MS large as
usual. with the exception OF very few who
have been willing to take the risk of higher
prices still. which they seem TO await With
much confidence.

BUSINESS DULL
ON CARY STREET

The receipts of country produce were
very light on Cary Street yesterday. and
the demand was equally light. This
unreasonable weather Is dead against

mission merchants. "and we cannot look
for anything but dull business until we
can run up with something like January
weather.
The market was generally dull yester-
day. and prices were unchanged. Eggs
were somewhat more plentiful, but prices
remain at 20 to 81 cents In crate lots.

Growth of Outside Interest Not
Sufficient to Sustain Cam

NEW YORK January H-There was
