has been in the history of any coun-
try.
"At present they do things around
here, and the think they are doing
here is to help us toward the develop
ment of the domestic animals of the
United States, as it is the greatest in
terest in America.
The meeting you have here now,
gentlemen, on this ground Is one of
the most magnificent examples OF
progress in the worlds history. What
long time we waited for all this!
Forty years ago congress endowed
agricultural stations, and experiment
al stations later, for the purpose OF
helping the farmer toward the estab-
lishment of the science of breeding
and feeding. among other things, and
what an illustration we have today
with regard to the latter! Our people
are beginning to learn something
about feeding. Take one of our crops

this year, which is to go to market
the greater part of it through our do
mestic animals. But our people are
learning how to feed economically ant
to prevent waste.
THE most interesting feature O
this exhibit to me, gentlemen. is thu
presence of those college boys. Chi

THE LITTLE RED SHOES.
There's hole in the toe
And they're battered and worn,
A button is missing,
The red is most gone,
Yet / know of few things
That hold half as dear
AS the little red shoes
On my high chandelier.
The hole in the toe
Was the special delight
OF the wee one who wore them
So bonnie and bright;
So | treasure them now
And hang them above
For the sake of that wee one,
Ny dear little love.
They talk to me often,
Those little red shoes,
And tell of high revels,
Gay laughter. soft COOS,
And many frolic
Joined in by us all
For the sake of the wee one
Who held us in thrall.
They mind me of walks
Through nursery and hall
To search for the moon
Or to play hide and call;
OF long, tender twilights
When sleepy dark eyes
Watched for the sandman
To low lullabys.
There's a hole in the toe
And they're battered and worn,
A button is missing,
The red is most gone,
Yet l know of few things
That hold half as dear
AS the little red shoes
On my high chandelier.

TALKS Of WELLS
Freddy Welsh Says Winner Is
a Good and Strong Boxer.
REGRETTED LOSING BELT
Leaves Cardiff for New York Today
He Writes-To Appear Before
Gotham Club in Short Bouts.

Freddy Welsh, who recently lost the
lightweight championship Of England to
Matt Wells, is scheduled to leave Cardiff,
Wales, for New York today. He writes of
Wells and of his plans as follows:
To the Sporting Editor:
Dear Sir-There is new lightweight
champion of England OF course. you
know that already. What is much worse
is that 1 know it. l had to give up my
beautiful gold belt to Matt Wells last Mon
day night. | confess / was surprised
when the decision was given against me.
but 1 suppose am not the first man who
thought himself winner when he was,
in fact, loser. / am not saying any
thing against the decision, however, for l
know that the referee. when he is as
honest and able as Mr.. Douglas, sees more
than anybody else, and is able to give
the fairest verdict. If | disagree with
him it is only so much the worse for me.
Wells Very Strong.
I'd like to say for Matt Wells that he is
q very strong. rugged fighter and much
cleverer than he has been supposed to be.
l didn't box my best, but that was my
lookout. He kept Ticking me with some
very pretty double-barreled straight lefts
till he finally walked me up. My view Of
the fight was that for the ninth and tenth
rounds we were about even, but that after
that is was all Freddie Welsh Anyhow
Wells did some of the most extraordinary
sprnting backward to get away from me
that. l have ever seen in the ring. Never
theless / could catch him once in awhile
and contrived to leave with him a few
mementos. | don't mind telling you that
when the final gong sounded l. turned to-
ward the referee with a cheerful smile
on my face, fully expecting to hear him
say those delightful words, Welsh wins. -
| had heard them so often.
Out Of seventy-three battles I have
fought this is the second time I have
heard my opponent pronounced the win
ner. Well, good luck to the winner and
may he keep the belt till a better man
takes it from him. When we met at the
National Sporting Club the next day to

BIG COLORED MEET.
Athletes to Compete From New York.
Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Tonight at Convention Hall the first
indoor games ever held for colored track
athletes on so large scale in the coun-
try will take place. Jointly arranged for
by the Interscholastic Athletic Associa-
ton, the newly. formed Public School
Athletic League and the Teachers Bene-
mt and Annuity Association, the plans
for the meet have been successfully
worked out. and with fair weather a
splendid affair Is looked for. The finance
committee. headed by G.. Smith Wormley.
and consisting of @. c. Wilkinson, w
liartgrove, r.. Clarke. r. Greene W.
Hamilton and W. ID. NiXor. have done
excellent work, and j. NJ. Saunders
chairman OF the publicity and printing
committee, and his committee are yet on
the Job.
This morning at Convention Hall the
tiers in readiness. Fortunately, the
marked floor, which saved quite a deal
of labor. The basket ball court has been
laid off. giving an available playing
space of $500 square feet, which is but
little within the limit of area suggested
by the rules
New York Philadelphia Brooklyn and
Baltimore athletes blew into town last
night about II 30. and jaunty Broadway
confidence beams from every one. They
expect a cleanup In track, with even
chances of coping the basket bail game

rooters accompanied the teams from New
York. with more to follow today.

adjust the financial end of the affair l
offered to back myself again for ESQ or
f1.OOO, but his hackers said they would
rather take advantage of the six months
allowed the holder of the belt to accept
a challenge, so that their man might get
a little more experience before meeting
me again. And, of course, they were
quite justified in doing SO. The only
thing is that in six months 1t may be
still harder. for Wells to make the weight
than it was this time, when he was a
little overweight. 1 waived my right to
refuse to go on with the match.
Wise Mr.. Driscoll.
/ had hoped for another fight with
Jimmy Driscoll. He had challenged me
to meet him at 100 pounds, So, 500 side
stake, winner take the whole purse.
had accepted and had put up my money
with the Sportsman. He had covered it.
and it looked like a good opportunity to
settle the question Of whether I could
beat him at $50 pounds as well as at
1872 pounds. But Jimmy at the meeting
at the office of the Sportsman frankly re-
fused to fight me. AS he put it he didn't
like to take the risk of fighting beaten
man. Well, Jimmy is a mighty good lit
tie fighter. and 1 am very proud of having
beaten him, if only once. I'm not likely
to meet a better fighter very soon.
shall soon have the privilege of box
ing before the New York fight fans. as l
leave here on the Lusitania the 18th to
meet some good men at the National
Sporting Club of New York i'm accord
ance with an agreement made by Tom
o Rourke with me. and as the contract
was made after the decision against me
last Monday night it looks as if it did
not carry any weight with man Of
ORourke's knowledge and experience
1 may say that I have been wanting for
year past to get back to America to
take part in some of those fast six and
ten round bouts for which your side Of
the Atlantic is SO famous. 1t was in
those fast bouts that / first acquired my
speed, and as I have been boxing twenty
round bouts with English fighters since
coming over here l have had no oppor-
tunity of using my speed. Sincerely
yours, FRED WELSH.
