LAST BLACK BEAUTY"
GIVES Way TO MOTOR
Pardy Goes to Pasture, Marking
End Of Horse Delivery by Big
Stores in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.--Pardy, the last OF
the 2s7 Black Beauties that once
careered proudly about these cobbled
for ono of the biggest department
stores in the city. went away today
to that horses paradise, a forty-acre
meadow. ........
A gilded horseshoe nailed to his Of
fce wall is all that's left to remind
L. u. Timmons. one-tlme stable SUI
perlntendent for Mandel Brothers. that
the predecessors of the eighty dellv-
cry automobiles IN his charge were
these 297 Black Beauties. The shoe
hangs as a memento and a reminder
to sentimentalists that Black Beau
ties generally have gone and are go-
ing every day, from those marts
where the automobile truck chuE
chugs so merrily.
This announcement by one OF Chi
cago's largest department stores OF
the passing OF Pardy, was hailed by
automobile men as an important epoch
In transportation progress.
when our horse delivery service
was at its crest we were forced to
relay much of our goods by train ex-
press to the suburbs, where wagons
from branch stables completed the
everything within thirty miles of the
store. Motor cars give such service
that no sentimental argument can
stand against them" declared a de-
partment store deliery expert today
In explaining the movement.

1S75-James J. Jeffries was born in Carroll, O.. the son of an itinerant preacher. Jeff was a boi1ermaker in Los Angeles, without a thought of taking up fighting as a profession, when an accident changed the course of his career. He got into an argu- ment with another big fellow in Los Angeles one day, and the pair of 'em settled the matter with their fists Jeff polished off his opponent with neat ness and dispatch. Among the spec tators attracted by this impromptu bout was Billy Delaney, the old train CT who had developed Jim Corbett Billy liked Jeffs build and style, and had a confab with him. The upshot of it was that Delaney took the big koi1ermaker under his wing and be gan to instruct him in the art of Diff ing his fellow men. When Delaney took charge of the training Of Corbett for his fight with F'itz at Carson City he took Jeff along and made him Gentleman Jin's sparring partner Corbett could land on Jeff at will, and began rather lightly. When Jeff de- clared that the blows didn't hurt, Cor bett put more steam behind them, but still Jeff assimilated everything that came his way without a grunt.

Chick GandiRs Three Reasons Why He Did
 Not Like Cincinnati
(sportingl News. )

Chick Gandil was given quite a shock during one of the games of the CIeveland-C series at New Orleans. Reaching second on C1eve- land players hit, Chick was surprised to have Buck Herzog, manager of the Reds, say: t4Chick, just missed you by an eyeIash this spring.
 What do you mean, missed me % querfed Gandi1.
 ''As soon as found out you were on the market I tried to buy you, but Cleveland beat me to it, answered Herzog.
 Well, Pm mighty glad that eye1ash was in the way,'' said Gandil. For between you, that weather and those knockers in Cincinnati you'd have worn me down to frazzle.'' Which wasn't quite a compliment for Herzog, who has the reputation o1 riding his players.
