BUCKLEY IS Al PIPpIN.

Dan Buckley. the redoubtable Dan, the boy with the foootball hair, the pride of old Villanova and the handy chap with the mitts. has been heard from. His many friends in this city were wondering if Dan had wandered of on the Peary expedition, or had quietly secreted himself in his aero plane workshop, getting his machine in readiness to fly back over the mills of his native city and drop bou- quets to his lady friends in the north end. Dan has, done neither. He Is down in a place called Tuckahoe, N. Y. It sounds like an Indian name,
 but why the mild hammered, gentle faced Dan should select an Indian
 village for stopping of place is a mystery. Perhaps Dams flow of eloquence would have been lost in any other village or hamlet. But he is there nevertheless, and what is more. he is a matchmaker, not a matrimonial one. but rival of Cof- froth. Delaney, Jeffries and others of that type. He is also promoter and a manager of the fisticuff artists and has under his wing several celebri- ties, among them being Jim Driscoll,
 whom he is training to fight any of the 122 pound chaps. He also has under his protecting wing a kid. whom be would like to match against Kid Shea of Waterbury. Dan Is run ning . a5as there tonight for the

Tao We'll Imitatsd.

It is no easy matter for violin nak- er to rival the famous Stradivarius in- struments, but this an American maker did, and did so effectively that experts pronounced his violin a genuine Stradi. varius.
 The successful man was the late George Gemunder, famous violin maker of New York. His remarkable ability as preparer of violins was known to many a distinguished player, such as Ole Bull, Remenyi and Will helmj. But he made, so runs the story, his greatest success at the Paris expo sition of Eiffel tower fame. To that ex- hibition he sent an imitation Stradiya- rius and to test its merits had it placed on exhibition as the genuine article.
 A committee of experts carefully ex- amined the instrument and pronounced 1t a Stradivarius. So far Mir. Gemun- der's triumph was complete. But now came difficulty. When he claimed that it was not an old violin. but new one made by himself, the committee would not believe him. They declared he never made the instrument and pro- nounced him an impostor. He had done his work too well.

ROBERT FULTON AS A LAD.

Incidents Illustrating the Young Man's
 Interest In Mechanics.
 There are several anecdotes which relate to Robert Fulton's early interest in mechanics first steps of progress toward his later skill. In 1773, when he was eight years old. bis mother. having previously taught him to read and write, sent him to school kept by Mr.. Caleb Johnson, Quaker gentle man of pronounced Tory principles-so pronounced, in fact. that he narrowly escaped with his life during the Revo- lution. But Robert Fulton did not care for books, and he began at very early age to search for problems never mas tered and bound in print. This greatly distressed the Quaker teacher, who spared not the rod, and it is said that in administering such discipline on the hand of Robert Fulton he one day tes- tlly exclaimed, "There, that will make you do somethingw to which Robert, with folded arms, replied, "Sir, l came to have something beaten into my brains and not into my knuckles." Without doubt he was trial to his teacher.
 He entered school one day very late. and when the master inquired the req son Robert, with frank interest, re- piled that he had been at Nicholas Mil lers shop pounding out lead for a pen ell. Tt is the very best I ever had. sir" he affirmed as he displayed his product. The master, after an exami. nation of the pencil, pronounced 1t ex- cellent. When Roberts mother, who had been distressed by his lack of ap- plication to his studies, expressed to his teacher her pleasure at signs of improvement the latter confded to her that Robert had said to him, My head is so full of original notions that there is no vacant chamber to stow away the contents of dusty books"
 These incidents to the contrary, it is nevertheless true that Robert Fulton did absorb a good knowledge of the rudiments of education.-Century Mag azine.

Can't TwiddIe Their Thumbs.

The gorilla and chimpanzee, which belong to the higher order of apes, have many points of resemblance to man, but there is one thing they can not do--that is. twiddle their thumbs. In the gorilla the thumb is short and does not reach much beyond the bot tom of the first joint of the forefnger. It is very much restricted in its move ments, and the animal can neither twiddle his thumbs nor. turn them round so that the tips describe circle. There are the same number of bones in the hand of a gorilla as In the hand of a man, but the thumbs of the monkey have no separate fiexor or bending muscle. This is why monkey always keeps the thumb on the same side as the fingers gnd never bends it round any object that may be grasped. In the gorilla the web between the fingers extends to the second joint. the fingers taper to the tips, and there is a callos- ity on the knuckies on which the ami nal rests when walking on all fours.

RIG COIN I'M NEW YORK.

Just at present there are twenty boxing clubs in operation in Greater New York, and the glovemen are get ting more money now than even in the palmy days of the Horton law True. theyido not get It in such large chunks, but 1t is coming often and with comparative ease. for the six round bouts are drawing almost as much as the twenty round contests of the days gone by. Leach Cross and Tommy Murphy had gate of over $9,000, so that each boxer was paid at the rate of $100 for every minute he was in the ring. Langford and Jeanette drew over $S,000. Their share when divided was at about the same rate as that paid for Murphy and Cross. Minor boxers are reaping a harvest through keeping busy, some of them taking part in two or three contests each week.

JOCKEY DEMANDS sioo, ,ooo.
Says Belmont Discharged Him for
 Failing to Lift. is Hat.

New York. Oct 10.--When John H.. Freft, the jockey, took the witt mess stand in his suit for $100.000 damages against August Belmont, the racing man and sfinancier, he said that his trouble with Mir Bel mont dated from his failure to lift his hat to- him on certain day. Freit charges libel because of the publication of. an alleged blacklist ing paragraph in. the Racing Calen- dar on his leaving the employ of MT Belmont. He claims he was dis charged. while the defense alleges that he left MT Belmont's services without consent or authority. s'I will accept your apology, If you can give me assurance of good conduct in the future, said afletter written by Mir Belmont to Freit, according to copy read in court yesterday The letter was said to be in reply to one that Freit had written, and he told MT Belmont's lawyer that the offense for which he. was thea apologizing was his failure to salute his employer.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
THE GRlDIRoN.
All-Watcrbury and Torrington Play fs's e2t To. Morrow.

There will be good football game out at Reidville tomorrow af- ternoon or rather there will be three good games for there will be two preiiminaries prior to the big contest of the day. The big affair will not have the All-New Hayens here, but a better team still will contest and.that will be no less than the Torringtons, one of the strongest semi-professiona football teams in the state. This team will also take the place of the New Ha- vens in the. four team league which was formed q short time ago. Ali Waterbufys were. out for practice last evening under Coach Bagley and Manager Lawlor feels now that he has lineup that can. talk to any of the eleyens throughout the state. There will be a meeting of the State league here tomorrow night in the Hotel Connecticut and the Acorns Of Bridgeport, Thomas ton, Torrington and the All-Water- burys will be represented.
