'1 ii, r m v 14 ft REVIEW OF SPORTS, Local Enthusiasm Begarding the National Game. HOME CLUB'S PBOSPEUTS. Opinions About Dempsey's Alleged Eefasal to Fiht Ellingsworth. SULLltAN AND KILRAffi BATTLE, Something About the Uncertainties of the Banners. GEKERiLSPOBTIXGUEWS OF THE MI Those of us who are not entirely absorbed in the coming fight of "drink or no drink" may have been interested in the various baseball straggles during the week. The national came has not by any means lost its charm, even though our representatives may have been in that imaginary liquid known as soup now and then. Busy as he is in curtailing, or trying to curtail, indi viduality, Mr. Ed Murphy was a prominent figure in a party yesterday whose only theme seemed to be baseball. Mr. Mur phy's enthusiasm regarding the national game only represents the feeling among what we may term tbe vigorous and young portion of the business community. He certainly voiced the sentiments of the busi ness class he represents when he said that if Pittsburg had a champion team the latter wonld be carried round in tally-hos at the public expense. I mention this fact to show that Pittsburg's love for the national sport cannot be beaten. Probably no other city has been tested more; there has undoubtedly been, metaphorically, all the fiery furnace tests possible, and still we are not only in the ring, but we are demonstrating the fact every djy. Of course, I'm not referring to the glorious or inglorious work of tbe teams. I'm referring to the enthusiasm of the Pittsburg lovers of base ball That enthusiasm is stronger to-day than it ever was So strong is it that tbe shortcom ings of the team are generously excused, and, in the language of Lew Dockstaders minstrels, "With all her faults we love bar still;" that is, our ball team. Before I shall have another op portunity to say a few more Sunday morning words the team will be borne, and I venture to say that all of ns will be glad to see tbe boys and certainly will have hope sufficient to think that they'll beat anybody who comes here. There is at present an interesting prob lem et unsolved in the team. We are all wait ing to see whether or not the youngsters re cently signed wil' turn out good, bad or indif ferent. Much depends on tbe resnlt, ana it is not unreasonable to say that if we can produce about two first-class, or anvtbing near tbatde gree, pitch ers, we will mate anybody and every body we tackle movo about at a very lively rate. Tbe Weak Point. Of course "we all know that the weak point of the team at present is in the pitcher's boxv The games during the week have added to the already large amount of proof that tbe Fittsburgs would have been at tbe top if our mtcbers had been in condition. This is a very important fact, be cause it is a tact, and it shows that there are cluhs now among tbe leaders that are only there because of the temporary shortcomings of other people. Tbe plaving of the Bostons proves that they are not champions, and just as sure as we live that aggregation wiU not remain in the van if the other teams can get into their best condition. Cleveland continues to sustain tbe gait that has surprised people from thestart of tbe rare, and it may saiely be stated that tbe "baby" will command attention until the finish of the race. New York, like Pittsburg, is sadly out olsbpe, and the Phillies continue to show that while tbey are not pennant winners tbey will be a factor in causing some of the aspirants to lose tbe prize. Chicago is also out of condi tion, particularly in tbe pitcher's box. Alto ?ether the week's games go to show that New ork is the great team when m condition. If Keefe and Welch once fairly get in line, depend upon it, there is no team in the country that will beat tbe Giants. It may not be ont of place to say that If the young men recent signed by Pittsburg are failures ef forts should be made to sign others. Jewels and prizes are not gotten without effort and sacrifice. If by trying a dozen youngsters one or two good men are secured, tbe result will be worth tbe trouble. The County Ieaeue. In talking about or commenting on tbe affairs of the "big" baseball people, we ought not to forget tbe lesser folks. Among the latter is the Allegheny County Iieacue, and it is undoubt edly a useful and interesting little organization. I don't wish to offend tbe dignity of its' mem bers by saying "little;" I know that it has ten clubs, but I mean that it is small in a financial and influential sense. However, the League in question has been almost the only organization to keep baseball alive In this vicinity for some time past. The most ridiculous of schedules has bad the Fittsburgs scouring the country for nearly four weeks, and tbe only cames that we could witness here have been those of the County Lieague. It will, I'm sure, be a pleasure to all lovers of the national game to know that the Connty League games, at least many of them, have been well contested and exciting This tact has contributed largely toward attracting larce audiences at tbe various games, which means that the financial returrs, generally speaking, are encouraging. There is a rivalry among, some of the clubs in tbe organization that seems to be even more intense than that of the National League or American Association clubs. Nobody would want to see more deter mined opponents than tbe McKeesports and the East End Athletics. Without doubt tbey are two good clubs and I anticipate a most in teresting struggle between them for the County League pennant. Altogether the League in question deserves all tbe patronage that can be bestowed upon it. After all. it is almost entirely from such organizations that players of national repute are recruited. .Dur ing tbe season there will be plenty of opportu nities to give the County League a helping band and I think it will get it it tbe clubs can only maintain harmony among themselves. Has Dempsex Weakcnedf Several letters bave reached me during the last few days asking if it is true that Dempsey has refused to fight Joe Ellingsworth. One writer, evidently an enthu-iastic admirer of the Nonpareil, offers to bet 100 or $300 that Demp sey will refuse to fight nobedy. However, the report that Dempsey has weakened in his pro posed battle with Ellingsworth bas been ex tensively circulated. Whether it is true or not Is another matter. I don't think it is true, and I also imagtoe-tKtClt has been circulated by ' 3empseyS"enemies. Tbcre aro many reasons, and some very good ones, why Dempsey ought not and would not refuse to meet Ellingsworth. From a business point of view it would be tbe ver worst thing he could do. At present Dempsey is engaged in a variety show, and tbe leading feature. I might say the only feature, of his engagement is to box against all comers. He is the recognized middle weight champion of America and he nightly appears as such. But were be to definitely refuse to meet a man in tbe ring on fair terms and for tbe champion ship down would go his reputation and tbe public would care as little about seeing him as It would about seeing a man like Jack Fogarty. Demosey is too shrewd a man to court a con dition of things like that. Like many others before him and like others to-day be would certainly continue making what is. called a "bluff" rather than ruin bis money-making prospects in tbe way indicated. But aside from tbe business or monetary considerations of the questions, why should Dempsey refuse to fight Ellintrswnrth? I don't know why. Allow ing that Dempsey is what many people claim be Is an over-rated man bis record will show that he has not much to fear from the ex-amateur who is now wanting to fight him. Ellingsworth may be a wonder and be may be a miserable ex cuse for a boxer. We cannot tell yet, because be bas done nothing to show tbat he is in tbe same class as Dempsey. If I remember right he bad a four-round set-to with Fogarty on one oc casion, and both principals were round! v hissed for the burlesque tbey treated tbe audience to. Elllcgswortb is a tolerably fair boxer, and has a style which may be called Anglo-American. He reaches well out, but not so unattractively as such exponents of tbe American style as HcCaffrey and Dempsey. While he does not reach so far out, he, like most Englishmen, keeps his stomach well znarded. Bnt whilo these may oe very good qualities, it does not I necessarily loUow that be is a ring fighter, and I these mar be very good Dualities, it does not be must have a little more than tbe average know ledge of ring tactics to defeat Dempsey. Those Aliased PiwllUt. Speaking of Ellingsworth reminds ns of the time and conditions when he first made his ap pearance before the public as a boxer. When Ellingsworth was first beard of tbe country from Maine to California was full of all sorts and conditions of pugilists, or more correctly speaking, alleged pugilists. Within a period of about IS months scores of champions were in troduced to the world, and the only requisite to be needed to make a champion seemed to be a world-scouring challenge to box four or six rounds with tremendous gloves for as much money as the public would pay at $1 per head to see tbe contest. This system was so extensive tbat it is difficult to find among the long list of so-called leading pugilists four or five who have really earned the name of pugilist at alL I do not wish to mention names just now.bnt if any body interested in this question will just briefly look over the records of almost all our leading pugilists in America it will be found that the claims to bona tide pugilism are very slim indeed. As soon as the Doling mania, as far as the public was concerned, disappeaied so did almost all of these fistic terrors. As a re sult there are comparatively few of these artists before the public now. The latter will lose nothing by this change of affairs, because it is better to have no exponents of tbe "manly art" at all than to have Impostors and frauds. Kllrnln and Snlllvnn. The date of the Sullivan-Kilrain battle is rapidly approaching, and as it gets nearer in terest in the affair is increasing. There will be more interest in tbe proposed fight, too, when Kilraln returns to bis native land. He, accom panied by Mitchell, sailed from Liverpool on Wednesday, and if all goes well he will be in New York within a few days. In a letter to his backer be intimates that there is to be an organized gang at the proposed battle to pre vent his winning. In the same letter he points ont that tbe people of the South are too fair minded to permit any such unfair treatment As far as the "organized gang" is concerned I think it only exists in Kilrain's mind. If the Sullivan party even, had any intention of re sorting to such contemptible actions I feel cer tain tbat their plans would be kept devoutly secret. But whatever Sullivan's faults may be, unfairness is not one of them. It is safe to say tbat be would sooner fight until he drew his last breath than resort to dastardly means to avoid defeat. It seems, therefore, that Kil rain's alleged "organized gang" is tbe latest method of courting sympathy and notoriety. According to tbe latest reports from Kilrain's party he is to fight at 1S2 pounds. So it is evi dent that tbe modern notion of fighting as heavy as possible is still in vogue. It has also been arranged tbat Mitchell and Jim Moure are to second bim. Sullivan's party are not behindhand in arrangements. Tbey have re quested Dempsey and McCaffrey to look after the big man. So that altogether there is a good sizea extort at wore to give tne puoiic to un derstand tbat both parties mean business. Time will tell whether or not everything is being done with honesty of purpose. t Wnllace Rons' Offer. One of the events of the week that will afford considerable interest to admirers of what may be termed old time boat rowing is the chal lenge of Wallace Ross to row E. a Laycock, the Australian. Boss wants to row on the Thames for 2,000 a side. Those of ns who saw boat-rowing 10 or 12 years ago would, I'm cer tain, find much pleasure in seeing a race be tween La cock and Boss, but I fear they will never row. There was a time when, in my es timation, Laycock was a better rower than ever Boss was, but tbe former must have been on the wane for a long time. He earned great fame during tbe famous Hop Bitters regatta on tbe Thames, and really was the bread winner of the Australian party, although Trlckett bad been backed to beat the world. Still later Laycock defeated the late B. W. Boyd on the latter's own water, and that was Laycock's last effort outside, bis native country. Boss, of course, must bave also '-gone back" a little, and if they could each get into good condition they would make a good race. Boss' challenge may mean tbat tbe Australians now in England are talk mg of getting the two together. At any rate, we may be prepared to heir of more interna tional races this year than the proposed contest between O'Connor and feearle. TurfUncertnlntles. Backers'of public form among the runners have certainly gotten a few hard blows so far this season. If ever there was a time for re joicing among the bookmakers it ouht to be now. Certainly their proverbial luck cannot last; if it does tbe list of millionaires will be considerably increased this year. It is singular that a similar state of affairs is existing on the English turf, and the London Referee describes it in a way tbat is exactly appropri ate here. Speaking of a man who went to tbe Newmarket races, tbe paper tajs: "And he lost nearly all his money on the first day, and went home and got all be could for bis estates from bis lawj er, who presumal ly carried a few thousand loose in bis pockets for such emergencies. Next day bis lady went down on ber bended knees, and tbe children hung round his neck and rumpled his snowy collar with their pudgy little arms, and moist ened his beautiful shirt-front with their tears, and besought the gentleman not to go to tbe races again. But go be would, and be backed tbe favorite and lost and backed and backed and lost and lost till all tbe money the lawyer gave him for his estates was gone. And then his lady took off her beautiful diamonds, and tbe gentleman put these on tbe favorite, and tbat lost: and when tbe big race came the Two Thousand Qulneas, of course, it must be, because there were no big races, onl v very little races, on that day except the Two Thou. all the money and all the dia monds were gone ("done in" is the correct racing expression, but my informant does not use such language). And ten the gentleman could not leave off.but went to tbe betting men and backed tbe iavonte Donovan, no doubl for bis carriage and pair, and lost again: and there he was with all his money and his lady's diamonds and tbe carriage and pair gone, and the betting men came over to take the carriage and pair. But one of them ups and says: 'No, Squire, we won't take the carriage and pair now, because you have lost enough, and it would be disgrace for you and your lady to walk where you are accustomed to drive in your own carnage. You shall drive home, and I will come and fetch it in the middle of tho night, and then nobody will know what's become of it-' At that the other betting men cheered, and the 'Squire drove off looking quite calm. But when the betting man came by appointment in the middle of the night to fetch the carriage and pair be found tbe gentleman banging by the neck and a ropo in the coachhouse, he Having adopted this sensible means of providing for his wife and family; and the betting man was S3 frightened that be went rizbt off and swore that be would never make another bet again. Personally I bedeve every word of this, which no doubt was busbed up, as such occurrences can be so easily, and tbat is the reason why I am aBle to give as exclusive what might have been public news paper property." Whether or not the storv is true, it serves well to illustrate how the public bas been victimized latelv. Pklkqle. WORLD'S EXHIBITION. Paris Gold Medal 1S78.

Cleveland Again Beats the Quaker Citj Young Hen. GE5EEAL BASEBALL SEWS OP THE DAI fSFXCTAL TEUCQEJUC TO THE DISPATCH. 1 "Washington, May 25-. Beam pitched for the visitors to-day, and that almost tells the story. There were many conjectures as to the ability of the young man as a base ball pitcher. Manager Phillips really thought that nothing earthly could touch him. Horace, by the way, had been told by Mr. Nimick, who was here, that Beam was what the street corner people call a corker. However, Mr. Beam was in the box to-day for the pilgrims from Pittsburg, and to tell the truth he was in reality a corker. Of course he was wild, but he got tbe ball across the plate often enough to puzzle the Senator aggregation and surprise the onlookers. Beam won the game and that is the story of the contest To tell how the runs were made would only be telling an oft repeated tale. Pittsburg has evidently gotten bold of a good young fellow in Beam.

AnElcctricnl Itlnchlno That Will Fell the Tall Pines of Oregon. Portland Oregoman.l A great many machines have been in vented lor cutting down trees, saws runny hand and by steam, etc, but nothing has as yet been brought into general use to take the place of the State of Maine man or Michigander with his springboard and keen ax. The saw driven by steam could do the work very well, but it is impracticable to get a steam engine around in tbe woo'ds. A machine bas lately been invented for cutting down trees which bids fair to be a success. It is run by electricity and can easily be moved about in the woods, as tbe motor is placed on a high cart and runs a tutting drill, which sweeps from side to side and is advanced as the work progresses. The electricity can be supplied from a sta tionary steam engine or a water power and conducted by insulated wire to any reason able distance or over anv kind of ground. There is but little timber land in this coun try but what can be reached in this way, and it is possible that in a short time the chopper will be a thing of tbe pa-it in log ging camps, and the tall pines of Oregon will be laid low by electricity. LORD TENNYSON'S CHALK PITS. Tbe Sign He Put on Tbem Is Not Foetlo In the Least. Wide Awake. Lord Tennyson's home, as every one knows, is for a portion of the year at least at Farringford, in the west of the Isle of Wight. He is the owner of a ''noble do main," wherein are chalk pits bearing each a notice board with the following inscrip tion : "NO CHALK TO BE TAKEN FROM THIS PIT. BY ORDER.

StfNDAY, " MAT 26, ABOUT THE HOOSIERS. An. InterestingAccount of Indianap olis Baseball Affairs. FALSE EDMOES POIHTED OUT. Hot the Babies Are Getting- Along and Their Prospects. MAKING BEAD! FOE PITTSBDEG COBBESPOXDEJtCX Or TBE DISPATCH. Indianapolis, May 25. The local baseball public bas about recovered from the shock received when the Indianapolfc team sustained three defeats in Cleveland and failed to get but one game in Washing ton, and by winning a fair percentage of the contests yet to be played before they re tarn, the Hoosiers will be welcomed home in the most cordial manner. It is true the club has not accomplished what was really expected of it, but at the same time the fact is very generally recognized and admitted that the team has played good ball, having lost several games through that mysterious agency HARD LUCK, rather than poor work. The men are all in good physical condition, and tbe management calculates tbat both Whitney and Getzeln will improve in their pitching from now on. Boyle has done splendid service, and with the other two doing as well, the Hoosiers will be about as strong in tbe box as any team in the League, It is claimed that Whitney will do better as tbe season advances and the weather grows warmer, and the old man himself asserts that he will stand up among the leaders at no dis tant day. Getzein, ton, sbows signs of getting back to bis form of 1887, when he practically won tbe championship for Detroit. If these things come to pass and the Hoosiers continue their present batting and fielding standard tbey ought to pull well to the front during their next series of games at borne. Af ter tbe contests with tbe Eastern clubs, the team will not bave such a bard fight ahead. The Cbicaeo atrzrecation is not as formidable as in days gone by and Pittsburg is not in shape just now to make much trouble. Theso games finished, the Hoosiers will come home for a three weeks' stay, and with the advantage of home grounds and home crowds the team will, no doubt, make it pleasant for all comers. It is tbeintention to head Cleveland off and Chicago is not out of reach. Tbe former started off at a pace beyond its real strength and will hardly be able to bold the place now occupied. Chica go, like nearly every other club in the League, is weak in the box and will bave to struggle to keep up with the procession. SOME FALSE BUM0ES. Tbe story, first published by the Philadelphia Inquirer, that Glasscock bad been released to the club of tbat city and that Denny would soon be found in New York was too absurd and unreasonable to attract serious attention. The publication was a fake, pure and simple, and immediately fell of its own weight. The local management never thought of such a thing and Beacb claims that the first be knew of tbe matter was when he read it in the papers. It has not been long since the Philadelphia club President tried to make a deal for Denny, but abandoned it wben Manager Bancroft tele graphed back that he would not trade Denny for the whole Philadelphia team. There is one thing certain in connection with tbe Indian apolis club, and that is, that Glasscock and Dennv will be members of the team as long as it remains in tbe League and is owned by the present proprietors. President Brush regards these men as tbe greatest ball plajers in the proiesMon, anu as ne is looting lor gooa men, U is not likely that he will sell any. President Brush is at Hot Springs, having gone there to boil out a bad attack ot rheuma tism, but will return home within a. week or ten days. He bas been on crutches for a month or more. Bcboeneck, first baseman, and Rusie and Burdlck, pitchers, members of the local team, are at home. What the management expects to do with tbe former is not known. Hines was put on first as an experiment and seems to be playing tbe base in a creditable manner. As he is Schoeneck's superior with the stick, It is quite probable that he will be kept in that po sition. In tbat case the latter is not needed, anil, tbough tbe management bas not said so, it is quite likely that lie will be released. Bur dick is for sale, but Rusie will be retained and developed. It is not probable that any further changes will be made in tbe team. A. G. O. THE BABIES HEARD FROM. Preparations to Welcome tbe Pittsburg Tenm Next Week. COKBESPONDXSCI OP Till DISPATCH. 1 Cleveland, O., May 25. When the Pitts burg club comes here on the 6th of June we ex pect to welcome it with such a big crowd that additional seating capacity has beeu contracted for and wijl be erected at once. The total seat ing capacity of the grounds will then be be tween 6,000 and 8,500. In all Cleveland's expe rience in the Association the club never had continued attendance tbat warranted enlarging tbe stands. Columbus dallied and wavered so long over the deal for Tom Nicholson that Toledo stepped in and bore away tbe prize. I think Nicholson would prefer to go to Toledo of the two places. He is a capital player, and at the nrlce Toledo got him for, 5500, his release Is dirt cheap Sprague is working dally, and has reported to Secretary Ha .vley tbat bis arm is now in good condition. The stiffness has all gone, and his command of the ball is good. He will be given a thorough trial wben the club gets back, and it may be we bave drawn anoth- er prize in tbe pitching line. Young Lohbeck is still here, and though the inquiries about him are numerous, the man agement is in no hurry to let bim go, and it will be impossible to buy him for tbe song tbat other players bave been di-posed of. The Detroit deal is about all closed up. Sec retary Hawley went up to see Stearns on Thursday's boat and help him squander a share of that 531,000 dividend tbat was recently de clared to tho Detroit stockholders. All that Detroit lost during its existence in the League could be put in a man's eye and it wouldn't im pair the sight then. Cleveland gave Chicago more money by sev eral shekels for tbe four games played here thin Cleveland got from New York for the four games played at Staten Island. I notice Pittsburggotadose of equally as bad medi cine This is what plays the mischief with the smaller cities. A losing season on Staten Island, however, may take some of tbe conceit and big salary notions out of the head of the New York management, and lit will be disposed to play fewer stars. Day and llutrie may as certain by actual experience bow valuable a salary limit is to the weaker cities. J. B. F. TKI-STATE PRODUCTS.

Dr. Benjamin Lea Will Explain to Fltts bnrgers All Abont It Tbe Sanitary Con tention A Notable Weelu , A sanitary convention will beheld in Pittsburg next Friday and Saturday, under the auspices of the State Board of Health. Subjects of vital interest will be presented and discussed by practical sanitarians. The sessions and discussions will be freely open to all, and will be of special interest to the public. The place of meeting will be the Pittsburg Club Theater. Dr. Benjamin Lea, Secretary of the State Board, will be present, and will tell about the new quarantine station at the entrance to Delaware Bay. It will be remembered that Congress, at its last session, appropri ated a considerable amount of money tor the equipment of seven quarantine stations, five for the Atlantic coast and two for the Pacific. i Of this appropriation about $75,000 was assigned for the establishment of a thoroughly equipped station for tbe protec tion of Delaware Bay and river. 'Heretofore the only safeguard against the introduction of contagion below the Lazaretto has been the little hospital ot tbe United States Marine Hospital Service, near Lewes, simply designed for the treatment of sick or wounded seamen, with no adequate pro vision for the isolation of those suffering from infectious diseases. So well has this service been administered, however, tbat it has on several occasions de tained and disinfected pest-laden vessels and their crews, and thus stayed at the threshold causes which might have resulted in dis astrous epidemics had they gained admis sion. At or near this point the Legislature of Delaware has offered to f ede to the United States the land necessary for the proposed buildings and appurtenances. The Secretary of the State Board of Health of Pennsylvania, Dr. Benjamin Le3, has been designated a commissioner on the part of the United States to meet commissioners appointed by the State of Delaware, and, in conjunction with them to locate and fix tbe boundaries of this reservation. This pre liminary will be speedily settled, and work will be begun at an early date. The fumi gating steamer for the station is now in pro cess of construction. Among the many papers that will be read are one on "Meat," by Dr. Dunn; one on "Food Adulteration," by Percy F. Smith, and one on1 "Bread as an Article of Food," by 8. S. Marvin. Dr. W. T. English will also read a paper. On the evening of one of the days of the meeting a reception will be tendered to the board by the State Medi cal Society. It will beheld attheJBIjoa Theater, and will be followed by a banquet at the Monongahela House. BEES IN THE HEART OP THE CITI. Tbe Bnsy Honey Sinkers Found on the' Flowers In New York Sqnares. From the New York Sun.l It is not often that a New Yorker may see bees extracting honey from flowers in tbis town of brick and stone; bnt if anyone curions to look upon such a sight will wander through Union square or Madison square, and watch the beds of flowers which here and there beantlfy those lovely spots of green, it is not altogether improbable tbat that sight may be seen. The other day, when the sun's rays came down straight and hot, there was a group of men and children at the upper end of Union square intently looking at the spot where two or three bees were bumming about amid tbe blossoms of some plants that grew up in a very small bed. The interesting little insects buzzed about and hovered above the petals. The bees, so far as any city man could see, were genuine and healthy, and if any one of the curious observers had dared to interfere with them in their industrious undertaking, it was altogether likely tbat he would bave been punished with a smart sting for his pains. After what seemed a very little while the busy insects finished their labor, and, circling some what experimentally above tbe bed of flowers for a moment or two, suddenly decided upon their course, and flew straight away over to waid the Jersey shore. A BULLDOG PIGHTS A HORSE. A Desperate Slrnggle In Which a Trotter Was Nearly Killed. Saratoga, May 25. John J. Scannel is a lover of horses. Tbe pet of bis stable is a road mare which he values at thousands ot dollars. She was recently sent here from New York for Mr. Scanners pleasure driving this summer. Tbe groom who bas charge of the animal owns a fierce bulldog, and at night the two animaN were shut np together in tbe box stall of the pet mare. During tbe nlgbt an unpleasantness arose between tbem which developed into alife and 'death fight. Tbe noise of tbe contest aroused tne neighbors and tbe stablemen, and on going to tbe stall the dog and the horse were found to be fighting furiously. Tbe dog evidently bad tbe best of tbe mare, having fastened his teeth firmly in ber neck, and was holding on in such a death grip as only a bulldog can, while tbe mare was crying and helplessly kicking in all directions. It was only by running a stick under tbe heavy leather col lar worn by tbe dog and twisting it until he was nearly choked to death tbat be could be make to relax his grip npon the mare's neck. She was also badly bitten on the nose and legs. It is feared tbat the mare is fatally injured. Mr. Scannel paid 82,300 for her. She bas a rec ord of 235. COFFIN AND GBAYE EEADI.
