BRISTOL WON HER FIRST.

Bristol, July 9-The Bristol Lodge of Elks' baseball team made theIr first appearance of the season on the Center street grounds this afternoon, and defeated the Hartford brethren by an overwhelming score, 25 to s. Although the score was one-sided the game was enjoyed by everyone present because of the jokes that passed between the players and the fans. Charlss U. Cunning, who held down first base to perfection for the visitors, received the honorable name of Bill Taft" which surely suited his size.
 Dan Coughlin, who pitches for the regular team, was the slab artist for the locals and after Bristol had scored eleven runs Dan decided tot let up little and the boys from the Capitol City held batting bee in the third inning and scored seven times before he speeded them over again.
 Spike" Dutton did the twirling for the visitors and after the first inning he became discouraged, but nevertheless he stuck 1t out to the end. even if he didn't receive good support from his teammates. The lineup:

 Fight,


 New York, July 9.-There were no fights at the Whirlwind A. c. last night. Joe Walcott, formerly wei terweight champion, was scheduled to meet Jack Robinson of Chicago in a six round bout. but before, the en- tertainment could begin and even be- fore any of the preliminaries began, Inspector Thompson notified the club officials that he. would not allow the contests to be held. He declared that If any attempts were made to hold the fights he would interfere and arrest the principals and the club officials. % A crowd of about thousand per sons had assembled at the club house to see the former welterweight cham pion and giant killer" in the rins, and they filed out disappointedly when the. announcer told them that there would be no fights, while the inspector. with Detecuvees Keenan. Conlin, lO'Conneli and Johnson and Captain Carson of the tnirty-sixth precinct and four of his men stood on guard.

 Steamer Flanagan has moved up to .265 in his batting average with Rochester.
 Foxen, the old Hartford pitcher, is doing good work with the Phila- delphia Nationals.
 In New Britain. 1t is claimed that Almeida, the Cuban third base man. Is worth s200,000, and that he plays baseball simply for his health.
 Mullaney has gone and in his place comes Maggert, who has been under suspension by the Wheeling club. Doc Cote, late of Meriden. has also been signed.
 With Bronkie's arm lame. Bill Rogers and Eddie Farley not in pitching form sand Sillery about the only one in real good shape, the pitching department is in a pretty state just now.
 An odd feature occurred In baseball game in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. the other day during the play be- tween the Wilkes-Barre team and the Utica club. Doyle of the lat ter organization knocked out three three-baggers and on each occasion tried to stretch the hits into hom- CTS. Consequently he was caught at the plate three times.

FEEDING HORSES ON MILK.
The Experiment With a Racer and
 the Result.

It is established beyond question that horse can be brought up and wcrked more than ordinary horses on milk. Furthermore. Azote reached his maxium weight and de- velopment, 1,012 pounds. in the un- precedented time of eighteen months and ten days, or an average gain during the 533 days of feeding of over one and one-half pounds per days. ,.,..u.
 Ordinary horses take two and one half years to reach their fuli weight development and their average gain per day is less than one pound. An other astonishing fact, and one of which he is the only living example, Is that he had all his 3-year-old teeth when he was years and 2 months. It would seem that the day when the wise ones could tell the age of a horse by looking in his mouth was past. Now the ordinary horse does not reach his full power. that is. the maximum of what he can do upon the track, until he is 1 or years old. All the best prizes are offered for and Swear olds and as soon as a horse begins carrying weight for age his chances for a grand killing" are pretty we'll over. But suppose by a new method of feeding colt could be made to gain a year and while in reality only three years old have the growth and strength of four? With this idea of rapid de- velopment in view, the colt Azote was bought.
 He was taken from his mother when he was twenty-six days old and started upon dry milk. lie received one-half a pound of powder mixed with two quarts of waUef. every two hours and half. or eight times a day. just like baby. He drank it from a pail in about a minute. and that was all there was to his feeding. He was weighed every morning at $ o'clock. and as he grew the quantity of food was Increased fin proportion to his increase in weight. After a, time 1t was found advisable to give him a certain amount of nay, not for any NuA HAar OA HuAAAtAOn buA Au NlANA to give bulk to the highly cOneentrat- ed food upon which he subsisted. He was given about one-half as much hay as other horses receive. This is all he has ever eaten. a little hay and the milk powder mixed with water never any oats or corn. and in this lies the novelty of the ,xperiment. Yet when we consider that one pound of dry. separated milk con- talns as much muscle-making ms- terial as i've pounds of hay or corn and as twelve pounds of hay. 1t was not SO daring after all. And besides. dry milk Is digested to the extent of sS per cent. oats and corn to S per cent. and hay only s5 per eeI.t The advantages of this last fact are obvious. for besides receiving more nourishment in proportion to the bulk it requires only twenty-six hours for dry milk to pass throuEk the fntestines. whereas ordinary food takes three 10 four days. % thss there is much iess waste material and a horse during a race carries oyer the. course much less dead weight. It is just ss if his hsndicsp had been cut doNn.-OUtIng

BICYCLING.
Root and Fogler Were Too Speedy for
 the Others.

Lne Utu6Is.
 Eddie Root and Joe Fogler outrode three fast pairs of professionals in the mile invitation race for tandems at the Grand circuit races at Madison Square garden last night. The Bos- on-Brooklyn combination proved too much for Bardgett-Butler, Moran Rupprecht and Vanoni-Anderson and won the race handily. The last three pairs finished behind the winners in the order named. Fogler rode the distance in l minute and 57 2-5 sec onds.
 Four heats were raced and in the final Root and FogIer were pitted against Bardgett and Butler. on to good start, Nat Butler and his partner jumped to the front. The@pair raced along at a fast clip, with Root and Fogler close up and playing for thee inside position. In the fourth lap the latter team was successful in securing the coveted place and forged ahead. They fairly flew around the saucer track and outdistanced Bardgett and Butler to the tape. winning by sev- eral yards.
 In tue heat for third and fourth money young Moran and Ed Rup- precht easily defeated the foreign pair, Vansoni and Anderson. The Americans managed to lap the Itai- ian-Danish combination and were another half lap in front at the hn- fish. Some hissing greeted the starter because the foreigners lost a few yards at the start.
 Charles H. Stein, youngster from the Empire City Wheslmen club, proved his ability in two of the amateur events. Stein captured the five mile miss and out" race, and also won first place in the 500 meter race. In the distance contest he rode in heady style and saved him. self for a final effort He won from Adam Byerman by three parts of wheel. In the meter race he also showed plenty of headwork and won on his merits.
 Frank Kramer won the five mile lap race for professionals in. the most sensational finish of the even- ing. The champion barely managed 10 get his iron. wheel rim over the tape before Noe Fogler. Bardeeff and Rupprecht were close up with the former half wheel in front as the finish.
 Several accidents occurred iu the miss and out" race. Fred Hill. the Newark cyclist, received nassv looking spill in colliding with fhe track rail. but he was unlnjured be- yond a few scratches. He carried several other riders with him vher be went down.
