AVERAGE $lO,OOO A DAY IN PRIZES AT NARRACANSETT
Especial to The Democrat)

Providence, R. T., May Two eight-day condition books will cover the sixteen days racing off, fered at the first summer meeting of Narragansett park, commence ing June 18th and closing J u l y 9th. The first of these books, pub lished for the information of horsemen and defining conditions that govern each race scheduled. as well as the track rules and reg ulations, is now at hand.
 Seven races are scheduled for each day, except Wednesdays, Sat- urdays, and holidays, W h eight events will make up the card. Racing Secretary Pat Horgan has written a race in the book for every type of the better gra e horse. and one outstanding feature that will m e a hit with New England fans is the fact that each days program will include at least three, and some days four, races over a distance of one mile or up- ward.
 Longer Races
 During the hot-stove months Walter O'Hara, anxious to find out the type of race his patrons pre- ferred, mailed questionnaires on this point to one thousand persons and of the replies received, more than ninety per cent voted in favor of races run over a distance of ground.
 An analysis of the purses hung up for Narragansett's opener shows the following figures: 57 races of $1,000 each; 33 of $1,200 each; 15 of $1,3O0 each; of $1,400 each; 4 of $1 1900 each; 3 of $2,50o each; of $5,OOO each. and one stake of $10,000. A grand total of $162,400 for sixteen days only, or the still more informative figure of $10,150 as the daily aver age. One of the reasons Nara gansett will attract plenty of horses this summer.
 F. A. Carreaud, whose string is now located at Belmont Park only waits the readiness of the racing strip at Narragansett to ship his string there for the summer. The Texan met with outstanding suc- cess in Rhode Island last summer. winning the Special with Time Supply in addition to numerous other races; made host of friends in New England and is anxious to get back to resume operations.

Boston Wrestler Scores Decision Over Jack Dempsey

Boston, May 1-UP)-Floored
 and pummelled was Jack Dempsey. And by wrestler.
 The spectacle occurred at a wrestling show at Mechanics build ing here last night, and the wrest- Ter was Ted Germaine of South Boston, not a particularly good one,
 Dempsey, refereeing a battle
 royal in which Germaine was a participant, disqualified the South Boston grappler for foul tactics. Nursing a grudge from a previous
 encounter with the former heavy weight boxing champion, Germaine applied crotch and body hold on Dempsey, and before 1000 amazed spectators, crashed him to the mat with thud. Following up his coup, Germaine shunted Dempsey out of the ring onto press tables and fol- lowed out to maui him on the ta- bles and the floor around the ring. Flopped Again Still mauling, the two worked their way back into the ring where Dempsey was ripped and again fioored by the wrestler. Here, pro- motors, police, ushers and seconds intervened, but not before the pair had exchanged several blows. Germaine later declared that he demonstrated that a wrestler, can
 whip fighter anytime, and that he
 showed Dempsey that this trade of refereeing mat bouts and punching wrestlers Is about played out. If l encounter him again, will again toss him on his nose.
 'I will come here again for nothing if Germaine will be in the ring as one of the contestants, v was Dempsey's reaction just before
 he left for New York.

 for June Classic
By JosEPH D. RAvoTTo

ASI OOeDA4AA AA A$e ANAA - 4 sA-~ United Press StafE Correspondent.
 Paris (UP)-Greatiy encour- aged by the success of the Irish and Luxembourg sweepstakes and it's own national lottery, the French have decided to conduct g sweep on the Grand Prix de Paris, which is held on the Longchamp track in June.
 Tickets worth s2O, ,O00,0 will be issued. Eight per cent of the pro- ceeds will be devoted to the Paris fetes, press organizations and charities such as the Gueules Cas- cees and the Allies Brisees. Twelve per cent will be allotted to thei Paris racing. authorities, while 2 per cent will be set aside for pu5- lie utilities dependent on tho Paris-mutuel.
 When the sweepstake first was suggested, it was thought that it would seriously compete with the national lottery. After careful study, however, 1t finally was ac- cepted with the object of giving additional interest to the principle sporting event of the season. The French hope that it will take in the same manner that the Irish sweepstakes has gripped Europe, America and the Far East.
 If it is successful, another sweepstakes may be held on the Prix de rArc-de-Triomphe, Octo- Der classic also run on the Long, champ track.

New York. Training reports from Aqueduct are that Gallant Prince will be a much improved horse this spring. It appears likely that he will be a mainstay in the Belair Studs bid for the Kentucky Derby on May 4.
 Gallant Prince is one of, seven which William Woodward nomi- mated for the Churchill Downs event. Along with the good Ally, Vicaress, he seems a powerful running mate for the highly re- garded Omaha. Many predict that Gallant Prince will outshine Omaha.
 Like Omaha, Gallant Prince is a son of Gallant Fox. His dam was Merry Princess, by Spanish Prince 1T.
 Gallant Prince started 10 times last season. He won one number. and was third in two, earning $2635, This is not record to be proud of, even though his one tri- umph was achieved in a stakes event. However, Gallant Prince had no more early foot than a duck, and usually had to come from last place.

FUNERAL SERVICES HELD
 TUESDAY FOR TOM K0NATSI

Funeral services were held in Redmen's hall Tuesday afternoon for Yajuro Konatsu who lost his life Sunday morning, April IA, in the fire that partially destroyed the Rainier Grill of which he was pro- prietor.
 The services both at the hall and cemetery were conducted by the Rev. Russell F. Pederson, pas tor of the Presbyterian church. Hymns were sung by a community choir.
 The deceased was born in Japan about 51 years ago in the province of Kumamato. He came to the United States around 1901 and not long after came to Alaska where he has lived ever since with but two or three brief visits to the states.
 He became a resident of Wran- gell in 1923 and had been in busi- ness the greater part of that time. Konatsu was a very likable man and had many friends here. He was honest and upright in all his business dealings, and was known for his generosity and charity to all who came to him for help.
 He is survived only by a brother in Japan.

Bert Mckay RecOverS
 Halibut Drift Bottles

Bert McCay, who has a fox farm on East island, recently found two drift bottles thrown out from Inter national Fisheries Commission yes sels, near his island. He returned the cards enclosed in the bottles to the commission and was informed that one bottle was thrown over board 100 miles SW s 14 s of Cape Flattery and the other at a point 91 miles SSW of Estevan Pt.. Van couyer island, Both were thrown out on December 8, 1884, and tra- yeled a little over three months to get to East island.
 On receipt of the bottle enclosure from Mir McCay. the commission sent him the following letter from its Seattle headquarters:
 The International Ftsherie e $ Commission, established by treaty between Canada and the United States is empowered to make such investigations into the life history of the halibut as are necessary to preserve the fishery from depletion
 As a part of the commissions program of conservation, a study of the eggs and larvae of the halibut has been made. These eggs and lar vac float in the water at all depths from the surface to the bottom Since currents carry these eggs and larvae the commission must know where the current goes to know where the spawn from any eOne halibut bank drifts. It has been found that the best way of follow ing these currents at the surface is by means of drift bottles.
 Drift bottles have been thrown out from commission vessels in various places along the coasts of Alaska, British c ol I'm bia, and Washington. These bottles are painted red to be readily visible in the water or on the beach and are weighted with sand so they will float low. A drag made of sheet copper is attached to the bottle by length of wire and acts as a sea anchor so that the bottle moves with the water rather than with the wind.
 "In order to correctly interpret the drift of these bottles it is very important that we know whether or not the drag was still attached to the bottle when found. When the drag is lost, the bottle, blown by the winds, may travel longer dis tances before it is found
 When the cards contained in the bottles are returned, with infor- nation as to where and when the bottles were found, and whether or not the drag was attached, it is possible for us to determine the re- sultant direction, and sometimes | the approximate speed, of the cur rents. We have shown by means of these bottles that there is a large eddy running north along the coast of southeastern Alaska to the Gulf of Alaska, and further experiments have been begun to determine the starting point of this northward bound current at different seasons.
