IT now begins to look as if the at

with other matters to give further at
tention to the dispensary grafters. AS
to how the whole thing will now come
out it is up to the people of the state,
and especially to the general assem-
bly,, which body should not fail to pro-
vide the $4,000 that is being asked for.

THERE is a strong probability that
the lien law will be repealed. AS to
whether or not repeal is wise, we are
doubtful There are good men on both
sides of the question, and there are
many members of the general assem-
bly,, who though themselves believing
that the repeal is unwise, will vote for
repeal. because they think this is the
desire of majority of the white people
of the state. 1t is fact that the mat
ter has not been generally discussed
among the people. The discussion out
side of the general assembly has been
confined to q few newspapers, most OF
them in favor of repeal. However, the
repeal of the law will no doubt make
the issue quite a live one in short or
der. and if it shall develop then that
the people are not ready for repeal
there will be something in the next sew
eral campaigns to make the voters sit
up and take notice. And as matter OF
fact, it may as we'll be admitted that
South Carolina is in need of something
like this.

FAITH IN RAODORA
IS STILL UNSHAKEN
Match Race Proposed Be-
tween Croker's Filly and
Derby Winner.

LONDON, June 16-"Rhodora is a bet
terhorse than sigaorinetta. / am will
ing to enter into a matrh race between
the two Tor any amount and under any
reasonable conditions" This statement
was made by Richard Croker after the
oaks had been run by the Derby win
ner and his great little hlly had fallen.
IL is great pity the accident hap
pened which put RhodOra out of the
running, Not only was Mr.. Croker con-
ident she would win, but many experts
who SAW the flly IN action before she
was thrown shared his opinion
It is not impossible that a match race
viii be arranged between RhodOra and
SignOrinetta. Chevalier Ginistrell Is a
game sportsman, and has an abiding
faith in the capacity Of the winner Of
the double event.
1t Is understood. by the way. that this
FLY was practically the last shot in the
locker Of her owner. His racing esab-
lishment was for sale before the Derby.
and now. with these two rich stakes 10
his credit, he IS on his feet again.
II may be said the winning Of the
Derby WAS no fiUke. SignOrinetta's race
for the oaks demonstrates she ran ID
form, and it is the best opinion now
that She Is the greatest mare seen on
the English turf since the days OF Blind
Benny. That she viii win the Grand

saddened at some of his recent snooen
snooZes in the squared circle,
Burns was fundly tOuted byy his Bdlu-
more admirers as the real thing. They
used I'D much of the limited supply Of
oxygen in the Monumental Theater,
where the encounter occurred, telling
all who would listen, that Burns was
destined to besa great winner some day.
II he has no more than ne had last night
when ha was hghting a man ne was
confident he could beat. drs him forHhe
preiims for many long days.
Burns Still Lacks Class.
He does not nit like a fighter, has not
freedom IN his shoulder punches, and
apparently never heard OF hooking from
the elbows or any other short leverage.
His straight jab Is fair. hut hardly dan
gerOus TO a hardy rival. and his straight
right from the shoulder lacks couvic-
ton. On the slightest pEoRocatiou the
Soldier curls himself up IN a double
twisted bTw-l1not ana huuries around
the Ting-swith the enemy in hot pursuit.
II is this excessive Cautiousness. not TO
say timidity. which prevents him from
delivering more goods per bout. for
whenever rs starts q blow he seems TO
check himself as fl he regretted ne had
not covered instead and climbed
lightning rod.
At that, Burns is muck better than he
was the frst time he fought Sullivan
and got the advantage OF a thoroughly
punk decision when Jack McGuigan
called IL draw, but he Is no< yet I'm the

Showing Good Form
Just as luck would have IL, Sullivan
fought better last night than Tor a long
tirue. It was the hTst bout in two years
IN which he has shown his old knack
Of coming back and battling stronger
under severe punishment than when
going easy. Almost anybody can out
box Sullivan after a couple or lessons
and the only hope OF the Juggling style
of nonboxer is to keep after his op-
.x,er.ent so rapidly that no does not have
s. chance TO get set. When he has this
tsnacity and endurance, combined with
q punch and a fair eye for distance.
the sIugger always has a chance until
long succession OF victories won by tax
ing hard beatings wears him down, as
was the case with Terry McGOvern.
Tom Sharkey, Battling Nelson, and a
host Of others.
Sullivan last night went along finely
was always aggressive, and displayed
flashes OF his pristine punch, wherefore
we had great hopes no would get the
decision if not land a knockout Also,
Sullivan was boxing b. cher than has
been his wont, and with eminenuy sat
isfactory results. Instead OF wading IN

as bare Of protection es the Allies OF

While Richard Croker failed 10 win

which Is unique. though IL may be
doubted II Mr.. Croker relishes the dis
tinction 60 any great extent.
It is thus set forth by the Illustrated
Sporting News: These are the days
Of records, and Mr.. Richard Croker
holds one as the only man who ever

OF three Jubiless. No more than TWEEN
ty-two races have taken place for tnis
prize and 90 have thrown away three
OF them is rather an achievement for
one owner Having Imported YpsilanI.
Mr.. Croker put him IN a selling race az
Hurst Park. and let him go for 40
gulneas, Mr.. CunIne discovering pos
siHlities in him which had not been
obvious 20 AIr Croker. and The horse
won the Jubilee Al Kempt0n In 1903 with
Sst. ! To-, and 1904 with 9st. ID.
1T is believed that Mr. Cuniihe has a
little money on a horse sometimes when
ne fanCies it. and as these were BY no
means the only races which Ypsilanti
won AT KemptOn and elsewhere. it seems
Hk2ly that his investment OF the 80
