VI0LINIST WANDERS
IN SEARCH OF GIRL
Russian Has Searched Five Years
for His Sweetheart

NEW YORK, Aug 6.-"Never till I
find my lost Sonnia will l be happy.
For five years have searched for her.
Everywhere l have Travelled, only to
be disappointed" sighed Winssant Rho
dessky, telling of his wide search for
hrs lost sweetheart.
The young Russian arrived here from
Cuba Ever since he began the search
for the young woman he has supported
himself by playing the violin in the
many foreign cities he has visited. He
gave concerts in practically every large
city on the continent, beginning with
Paris. From Europe he continued the
hunt for his fiancee to Morocco, and
from Morocco to Egypt. Then he went
to South America, and from there to
Cuba.
"If I could only forget her." said
Rhodessky dispairingly, 81 might be
happy. L try to fall in love with other
girls, but the beautiful face of Sonnia
and her exquisite piano playing always
shut out interest in any other human
being"
Rhodessky and Sonnia Howalssky
were childhood friends in Warsaw.
Five years ago Rhodessky's father,
commandant in the Russian army, was
compelled to flee his country because
of political troubles. Taking his son,
he went to Brussels, and here the
youth his HuSitdl SiudlCo dAo
waited impatiently the arrival of Son
mia, who, with her family. was serving
a prison term for their affiliation with
the revolutionary cause.
BRUSSELS, her parents objected to her
Brussels, her parents objected to her
marriage. She was then II. But the
two, happy in each others company,
worked hard at the conservatory in
Brussels, and later he, with his violin
and she accompanying him on the
piano, began to appear in concert work.
One day they found they were being
followed by the chief of the secret
police of Warsaw. The next day the
girl disappeared, leaving a note to
Rhodessky which read: 81 must escape
detection for the cause" On her photo
graph was written: "A souvenir for my
beloved" Then began his long search
for the girl.
Through an interpreter Rhodessky
told a reporter his hopes of finding the
elusive young woman in New York. Il
am sure she must be here" he said.
"Suppose she should be married?"
asked the reporter.
knowing she is found" he said, II
will go away, not happy but relieved of
this dreadful mystery which has made
my life for five years miserable"

NEW YORK TRACKS
FACE HEAVY Loss
Sheepshead Bay Goes Into Hole
$4,000 Through Meet
ing Recently Held

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Sometime next
week, it is said, an official statement
will be given out concerning the fu-
ture of racing in this state after Sep
tember l. Until then there can be no
announcement of a positive nature, but
there is every reason to believe that
after August 81 there will be no more
racing in this neighDorhood this year.
The question has been argued by all
concerned, and the best counsel has
Dondered the new laws, but not until
sometime in early August will decisive
action be taken. The case has been
| looked on from all sides.
In the first place, the racing associa-
tions have run their meetings at a
7 loss, and it is a question if Saratoga
will get a clean sheet after all expenses
ar, paid. The other tracks did not
make enough profit to pay taxes.
Sheepsheau Bay lost upward of $4,000.
In the case of Sheepshead Bay the
management faces a strong opposition
from the minority stockholders, some
of whom are under guardianship
OF trustees, and these trustees will not
q rec to continue racing at a loss. 1t
will be seen that the Sbeepshead peo-
pie are in 1, peculiar predicament. No
matter how the ma jority stockholders
may feel about the matter they can
be checked by the minority holders of
stock.
At present it looks as If the only re-
lief can come from the legislature next
year, and if there is nothing adopted
that will assist in reViving horse rae
ing it is almost safe to say that the
sport is ready for burial so long as
the present laws are on the statute
books. To try to run a race track with

OF course there are a score or more
ways to beat the devil around the bush
and continue racing, but those in
command don't care to have things
that way. They want to be ''up and
up" in the business or not be in ut at
all
There is one thing certain, old Sara
toga will be on the job every year or
else all signs fail. Saratoga wants
racing, and many a point will be
strained to have it, no matter what is
| done in this city.
P. j. Dwyer has been ordered to go
| abroad for his health. He has a
! throat affliction which his physicians
| say can be cured if he goes to a spec
| ialst. He will go very early in sep
! tember which is another indication
that the shutters will most likely be
! up at Gravesend. "If I can get good
health by going abroad" said Dwyer
II shall be in better shape to have a

erty. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars will be lost in horses and thous-
ands of persons will be thrown out of
employment to satisfy the wishes of a
handful of reformers. I hope to come

gram of the autumn meeting of the
Montreal Jockey club, which will be
held at the Blue Bonnets track Septem-
Der 10 to II inclusive, has been an
nounced. Four open events are pro-
vided, and two for which province
breeds only are eligible. One of the
latter is the Kings Plate, and tlfis will

fall of the year.
The four open stakes are the Hoche-
laga, the Earl Grey cup, the Champion
Selling and the Strathcona steeple-
chase.
The Hocheaga is handicap for q
year-olds, and has an added value of
$1,000. Last year this event was at
distance of seven furlongs, but this has
been reduced to six furlongs.
The Earl Grey cup, also handicap,
is for 3-year- and upward. The
added money value will be $780, besides
a piece of plate presented to the owner
of the winner by the Montreal Jockey
club. The distance will be one mile
and a quarter.
The Champion Selling is at one mile
and will have an added value of $1,000.
1t will be for 3-year- olds and upward.
The Strathcona steeplechase is a
handicap over the long route, about
two miles and a half. for 4-year-olds
and upward. 1t VIII nave an addeu
value of $1,000.
The club has already received many
applications for stabling for the autumn
session. Communication have been re-
ceived from Gwyn Tompklns and
Thomas Hitchcock, jr., from Saratoga
asking for accommodation fer ten and
twelve horses respectively. August
Belmont has also been heard from at
the Restigouche club, Matapedia, p. O.,
where he is having an outing. Mrs.
Livingston, who is also at Saratoga,
writes to say that she will be on hand
when the barrier is sprung in Septem-
Der, and will have twenty-nine horses
i'm her string.
The people will ship direct to Mon
treal from Saratoga, the jump being a
short one, and If there is no racing in
New York after September 1 the best
lot of horses yet seen at Blue Bonnets
will be on the ground.

AUSTRALIANS MAY SEE
NELSON TAKE BEATING
Looks Like Battered One End Ad
WoIgast viii Sign with
Hugh Mcintosh

According to New York advices, Tom
Jones, manager of Ad Wolgast, is
planning a trip to England with lit
tie Adolph. Jones is quoted as de-
claring gsthat there is no money in the
game in this country and declares that
he intends to bring his boy to London,
where the sovereigns grow on the
bushes.
1t is on the cards that Hugh McIn-
tosh, the promoter, has already ar
ranged a match between Wolgast and
Nelson. Nelson's recent refusals to
fight lends considerable color to this
theory.
The Battered one is still butting his
way into the limelight, just as though
he were of some interest to the public.
Some misguided sporting editor actual
ly ran picture of Nelson and Abdul
the Turk, and Bat went to some
length in telling how he wouldn't have
to come back because he hasn't been
away. Poor Battered. He doesn't
know when to let well enough alone.
Stanley Ketchel. Dick Hyland and
Matty Baldwin are working hard at
Boehm's New Dorp place, near New
York, for fights that they have on the
tapis Ketchel is getting ready for
the Lang fight, which takes place at
the Fairmont club in New York August
u, and reports are to the effect that
he is in grand shape. If this is so Bill
Lang is due for an awful humping.
Since his return to America things
have taken on a roseate tint for
Packey Mcfarland. All the managers
around New York are trying to sign
Packey, and they're willing to let him
name his own opponent,
That Berger is not getting along any
too lovely in the east is shown by what
some of the scribes in that section are
saying of Sammy. Here's what Jack
West says about Sammy in the Phila-
delphia Times:
"Sam Berger is in New York laying
the pipes for a return date between
Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson, and
the public ought to hand 1t to this
onion good and gorgeously. jeff can
never come back again, Berger knows
that better than any one in the world.
Johnson would beat him quickly this
time, and the Texan would not spare
the Californian. Jim Corbett is aware
of this fact and so is ever man who
saw the fight. Let Berger take the
licking"
ICY" Smith, the New jersey fighter,
nd Battling Hurley, who so decisively
defeated Leach Cross recently. Smith
and Hurley will box ten rounds at the
Knickerbocker Athletic club of AL
bany on the night of August 8. Af-
ter this bout Smith will become an ac-
tor. He will appear in vaudeville in a
sketch with his manager.
If Tommy Burns isn't a bit careful
in his dealings with promoters they'll
be calling him Honest Tommy" pretty
s son.
From Chicago comec word that Billy
Papke's heiress bride will allow Willie
to fgkt once more and that his OPP
ponent will have to be Stanley Ketchel.
"Otherwise," says Mrs. Papke, you
can't fight any more" Lots of per-
sons discovered the tail end of Mrs.
Papke's observation several months
ago.

ENGLISH IN FLY HUNT
WIN PRIZES FOR 10000

LONDON, Aug. GA great fly and
bluebottle hunt is in progress at Mid

1t was organized by Alfred Mattison,
chairman of the sanitary committee,
who has offered cents for every fifty
flies, and a similar sum for every
dozen specimens of the larger game,
namely. the bluebottle, brought dead
or alive to the committees office.
Mr., Mattison, unlike the flycatchers,
is not so much concerned with the
snorting side of the venture as the pre-
vention of the spreading of illness by
the elusive insect.
The announcement was greeted with
the widest enthusiasm by the juvenile

CALIFORNIA BOY SHOWS
SPEED As MARATHONER

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Uncle Sam Is
doing all that he can to promote ath-
letics along the Panama zone He has
even developed Marathon possibilities,
according to a letter received from
Capt Jack Braughal, late of the zone
police, but now a Panama reporter.
Jack says that no newspaper man ever
had the pleasure of looking on a better
distance runner than is Eddie Silvey
a young fellow who has been trampinS
along the ties between the two places
where the two oceans kiss the neck Of
the continent. Jack is a good judge Of
men as they stride along the cinder
path. He says that Silvey was the
very first man to walk from the Allan
tic to the Pacific in record time.
Silvey is in New York to work under
the Uatchful eyes of both Sparrow
Robertson and Harvey COhn. They're
going to put him into proper condition
to meet McKeoWn, the champion of all
the Panama runners, and they predict
that SilVey will be a greatly improved
runner when he again appears on the
isthmus.
'Of course I've heard a great deal
about your runners here in the far east"
said Silvey They're known all over
the world. And they're the best. That's
why I've come all the way from Pana-
ma to nave tnem nelp me WIFI my ltAI

bet it that | could walk across the
isthmus in a day-twelve hours-and
the dealer took me up.

ties for the Pacific. l made the journey
in ten hours and nineteen minutes, the
record for the distance in that hot
climate.
"Then I raced against Harry Nc
Keown for fifteen miles and beat him.
The employees along the canal thought

for my friends"
