WRESTLING.
Jack Roach Out With a Challenge to
 Ixzy Winters.

Tn the near future the lovers Of wrestling in this city may have the chance to see match that will keep everybody guessing as to the out come. Jack Roach. than whom no squarer grappler ever stepped on a mat, had about retired from the wrestling game. but he has been en- ticed to get back in the game again because of certain stories he has heard relative to his ability as mat artist. The following letter from Roach will explain matters:
 Waterbury. April $, 1907. Sporting Editor Democrat:
 Dear Sir:-It has been my inten- ton for some time to retire from the wrestling game and devote my time to other pursuits. but of late I have heard that one NIT Douglas of this city has spoken III of my powers as a wrestler and has intimated that he could make some easy money by biting Izzy Winters of New Haven against me. Now if Mir Douglas is sincere in what he says. I will give him the chance to get all the easy make a match with Mfr Winters ai I2s pounds for $50 side. and will wrestle him inside of four weeks. If this is satisfactory to Mir Douglas all he will have to do is to post a for. felt and draw up articles of agree ment and I will be there with the goods. Respectfully yours.

RECORD RACE CROWD.
This Years National Attracted 127,
 770 Persons.

All previous attendance records at sporting events were beaten recently by the crowd that attended the Grand National stepplechase at Aintree. Liverpool. There passed through the turnstiles leading to the grand stand no less than 49,270 persons.
 On the county stand independent of this there were $500. and inside the course scattered about occupying the different vantage points were 75.00O. making in all the great concourse of .127,770 persons. The cause of the big gathering is attributed to the re- duced admission fee and the increase in the stake money.

One Source of News.

For many years 6 certain New York paper received society and club gossip from man whose identity was con cealed by a clever ruse. Even his checks were made out to his wife it her maiden name. He furnished in formation about 1he doings and wran- gles in various clubs--lttle stories in volving people whose names are known by reputation to practically all readers of newspaper columns. He is said thus to have averaged an income of about $1O week-not much, but enough to buy hats, gloves and canes. He was d most immaculate and aJ- parently prosperous person. It is needless to say that he has never been suspected of this small traffic X wealthy relative died and left him in- dependent. When some such man furnishes the clew 10 delectable scandal he has done a stroke of busi- ness that will keep him in small lux. uries for months to come-Whitman Bennett in Bohemian.

Queer Positions of Hearts.

There is one curious fact which not every body notices about the common.
 finger-long, green caterpillars of our larger moths. Their hearts. instead of
 being in front. are at the back of the body and extend along the entire length of the animal. One can see the heart distinctly through the thin skin
 and can watch it's slow beat, which starts at the tail and moves forward to the head. Hearts of this sort reaching from head to tail are not at all uncom- mon in the simpler creatures. The earthworm has one, and so have most worms, caterpillars and other crawling things. Hearts in the middle of the back also are quite as frequent as those in what seems to us to be the natural place. Many animals, the lob ster for example. and the crayfsh and lthe crab, w'2ich have short hearts like those of the beasts and birds, never theless have them placed just under the shell in what. in ourselves. would Ebe the small of the back.-St Nicholas.
