AFTER MARTY LAWSON.
Letters From Dan Pickett and Joe
Clancy of Waterbury.

Sporting Editor Hartford Courant:
In recent issue of your paper you
published an article in which Marty
Lawson said he was ready for a
match with Jack Pickett for 500 a
side at 1873 pounds. but | will match
his sparring partner, Tommie Fitz-
gerald, with Lawson for 500 side
at 1875 pounds. If Mr. Lawson means
business, address answer to
Dan Pickett,
Waterbury, April IL, 1908.
Sporting Editor, Hartford Courant:
| read an articel in Friday morn
ing's issue of your paper, an inter-
view with Marty Lawson relating
to his go with Jack Pickett of Water
bury. Lawson makes the usual
squeal of defeated four-fusher of
being outweighed and then tells a
fairy story about his science and
cleverness emitting him to a draw
| have trained Pickett for number
of bouts and the story looked little
thin to me. l 'phoned Joe Lawlor,
matchmaker of the Waterbury Ath-
letic club, who answered that the
bout was stopped in the second round
to save Lawson from knockout. As
to the weight question, Lawson claims
he was outweighed by twenty-five
pounds. The most Pickett ever
weighed. stripped and out of condi-
ton was 1873 pounds. SO you can see
there is no occasion for Lawson to
make the out weighed squeal. As to
that 500 side bet, he Is making his
bets in the wrong town. II he
really wants to make noise like a
bet, the place to do 1t Is In Picketts
camp and not through the medium OF
an out of town newspaper. Pickett
can be found at the rooms of the
Good VIII club in Waterbury and
there is enough money there to back
him for the limit. 1t was Dan Pick
EFT who wrestled Issy Winters as a
preliminary to the Madden-O'Connell
match in Hartford. In closing ]
would say that II Lawson would con-
sent to a match at 1913 pounds, /
would like to take him on before any
Of the state clubs, but If he prefers
Pickett let him have first call,
Thanking you in advance for your
valuable space, am. yours for the
other side, Joe Clancy.

Washington, April 13. - Two more
days and the spring meeting at Ben

cording to all reports, this will be the
last meet ever held at this track. The
senate will bring the bill prohibiting

and it is said that 1t Will surely pass.
If legislation against this course goes
into effect, a test case will be brought

that efforts are being made to intro

a course will be constructed adjacent
to this city. which will replace Ben

HELIE PLEADS HIS CASE.
VI Loved Nine. Gould After She Was
Divorced Says Prince.

New York. April 13.-Another chap
ter was added to the story of the af-
fairs of Prince Helie de Sagan and
Nine. Anna Gould, who sailed on diff
ferent steamers for Europe, when @.
G. Meter of this city made public a
statement given 10 him, as he explain
ed, by the prince and intended for pub

De Sagan took passage, was well out at
sea.
Mr.. Meter is personal friend Of the
prince and was intrusted by the latter
with the statement that he and Nine.
Gould were betrothed.
The statement of De Sagan follows
in part:
when trouble developed between
Count Boni and the countess, sought
10 aid them as friend sincerely inter-
ested in their affairs. It was at that
time that her friendships were really
tested.
"She stated at that time that she ap-
preciated ny efforts very much.
"Our love for each other began to
dawn only after the divorce decree had
been entered. Long after the courts
had acted I CHANGED to call at her home
one day. and by one Of those intuitive
divinations-a meeting Of the eyes

gust that the first word about love or

MARVELLOUS" ACTS.
And Novel Advertising at Prof
Pierce's Show.

On Saturday evening. there was an
item in the Democrat concerning the
spelling on the show cards in a win
dow on Bank street where some pro-
fessor CD is doing marvellous acts
so says the barker" on the outside,
whose voice can be heard blocks
away. Mr. Pierce, or rather Pro-
fessor Pierce, for that is what he
calls himself, may be able to put a
small sized gun down his throat but
for all that he or his manager or
whoever was responsible for his
placards should have glanced over a
spelling book Zone used in the lower
grades would have done), before he
painted the show cards which the
Democrat commented upon Saturday
evening. Mr. Pierve himself when
he is not too busy swallowing swords
and .digesting spoons should lock
himself in a room and spend few
hours with an English rhetoric. 1t
would do him a world of good when
in the future he has occasion to ex-
press himself. Pierce may be good
in his way as many other exhibitors
of similar type but nevertheless they
come under the heading "fakir, as
used at the present day. His exhibi-
ton is nothing new as it was done
when Waterbury was yet a village.
The reporter did not go inside as he
did not care to witness an exhibition
the like Of which was done in the
time of Noah.
Moreover he realized that If IT
were anything like the spelling 1t
would be a good thing to keep away
from,
