GOVERNORS RAP GAMBLING.

Hughes and Folk Inveish Against
 Race Track Betting In New YoR.
 New York, Feb. 26.~Governor Charles D. Hughes, who is battling to destroy race track gambling in New York, and Governor w. Folk, who suppressed race track gambling in Missouri three years ago, speaking befote the City club, united in stirring appeal to pub He sentiment to crush the betting ring ! on the race courses.
 Governor Hughes urged the people to assert themselves and force the legls- lature to pass the antirace track gam bling law, which, the governor de clared, every member of the legislature knows is right.
 Governor Folk said in part:
 If gambling on horse races is an evil thing, it should not be permitted at all, Stripped of all verbiage, a law licensing race track gambling levies tribute on this vice and is indefensible from any moral standpoint.
 If it be insisted that men will gam ble anyway. and the state may as well profit sby their lust for the game, it could with equal force be argued that some men will steal, and therefore the state should license larceny in certain forms and certain places so as to profit by this weakness of mankind.
 If 1t be said that the licensing of gambling is justlfable when the pro- ceeds go to maintain a worthy institu- tion, the answer is the state is wealthy enough to support its institutions with out compelling them to rely for suste- nance upon the licensing of a practice that degrades the youth and pollutes the morals of man."

GoTCH CALLS ROGERS.

In behalf of Joe Rogers, the wrestI- CT. ORourke yesterday deposited Sl,UU to clinch match with Tom Jenkins, then hurried to newspaper office, where he deposited $1O0 for felt, as demanded by Frank Gotch, to !cinch match with him. Gotch had deposited $1OO and dared Rogers to meet him on the mat, agreeing to throw him five times within an hour or give Rogers $500. This looked like pie" to O'Rourke and he went after 1t. Issuing his challenge Gotch said:
 Rogers is talking so loud and foolishly that to shut him up I will agree to meet him. To give him a chance, I will undertake to throw him five times in an hour, failing to do so Rogers can have all the money that the bout draws. If I make good I want all the money. If Rogers doesn't care to accept these terms they're mighty liberal, thlnk--he can take up this offer: I will meet him in private and throw him five times in on hour for fun. .
 "These offers may not strike Rogers as liberal enough, so I will make them more tempting, for I really want to try this world beater' out. Here is some sugarcoating for the pill: I will give him $500 If he is able to keep from being thrown five times in the sixty minutes. This goes whether we meet in public or private. It he manages to stay on his feet in the public contest the $500 will be nice addition to the total gate receipts. The match must take place March s, 6 or ' as those are the only dates have open"

THE PUGrLISTS
SPECIAL TRAIN
 FROM WATERBURY
Many Sports Going to Bridgeport to See Kid Shea in
 Action.

Much interest is manifested in the appearance of Jeff Doherty and Billy DOherty, who are matched to go ten rounds at 13S pounds before the Colo rado club in Bridgeport Thursday night. Each of the two is an exper- fenced boxer and they can be depend- cd upon to put up first class exhi- bition. Glover comes from Boston, where he has met and bested some of the best men in his class. Doherty is native of New Haven and he has been seen in many performances. He is known as careful and scientific boxer who can at all times be de- pended upon to up up the best that is in him.
 Not little interest is being taken in the eight round bout which will introduce Young Bessie and Bunnie Ford. These two boys are generally conceded to be the best match in their class and they have met before but without the palm being awarded to either. New Haven devotees cf the strenuous pastime pin their faith in Ford, who is native of that city. Some of the wise ones look to Bessie to outpint the Elm City lad when they come together Thursday evening.
 The other two bouts on the card will introduce Young Shea of Wa terbury and Kid Murphy of New Ha- ven, and from all accounts these two 116 pound boys will put up an ex- hibition that alone will be worth more than the price of admission Then there is Kid Hassett and Young Spada of Bridgeport, who al- ways can be depended upon to show their best, and they are no mean per formers at the game. Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll, whose fame as ref cree is international, will be the third man in the ring. Everything will be carried out in a first-class manner. Seats are now selling at leading Bridgeport cafes and should be secured early as there is big demand for choice sittings from all parts of the state. A special train will leave this city for the battle. George Mulligan has reserved seats for the battle.

WRESTLING
THE BIG FELLOWS
 IN THE CITY
Gotch and Parr are Ready for the Call of Time - Rogers
 is Called.

Jim Parr arrived in Waterbury yesterday afternoon looking fit as a fiddle for his match tonight with Frank Gotch, the champion of Amer ica. Parr says Waterbury has grown like a mushroom since he WIS here before and is now one of the big cities of the east. He feels cor fident of giving Gotch the best run for his money that the big westerner has ever received. Parr has been going down the line throwing them all one after the other, and it would be the biggest feather in his hat to add the scalp of Gotch to his collec- tion. He is going to return to Eng land in April and he would be given all the honors that could be be- slowed upon any athlete if he car ried back the title of champion of England and America. He, will make Gotch go some, he says, and with that frightful toe hold barred, he stands good chance. Gotch ar rived here this afternoon and is the picture of health. It is no wonder the people who have seen him rave over him as marvel of an athlete. He is a marvel and no mistake He says he fears no man in the world and he will prove that when he tackles Hackenschmidt. He be- lieves aside from himself that Jim Parr is the best man in this cour- try. He does not hold him lightly by any means, but he has no fear of the outcome of the contest to- night.
 Large delegations from New Ha- ven, New Britain and Bridgeport have engaged blocks of seats for tEe contest. The 25 and 35 cent seats are down stairs. The balcony seats are 50 cents, the first two rows in the gallery 75 cents and 50 cents for the other rows. There are a few ringside seats for 70 cents.
