SPOETIXG XEWS OF THE DAT Kew- Oeleass, Dec lfl. Three oi the six great pugilistic events that were to make tip the spring sporting carnivals here are virtually off, and both the Crescent City and Olympic clubs are on the lookout lor figuterg.stilL There will be no conflict In dates between the clubs or Alardi Gras festivities. The Olympic tournament match 1, 2 and 3 lacks an event for the opening night unless the wobbling match between John and Billy Murphy is patched up. A better attraction, however, is needed, and if Gallagher and Dempsev are coupled it is secured. But Dempsey's refusal to fight ia Blanche makes it certain that he will also decline to meet Gallagher. Goddard and Slavin cannot be got to gether, and the Murphys only are in sight. The Crescent City Club has postponed its carnival to the first week in April. Its Burge-Myer match has gone and Dixon and Griffin are not agreed yet, and lean toward the Coney Island outfit anyway. So the club has just one event made Fitzsimmons and Hall The Crescent City hopes to get Burge and IMcAulifle together by April, and may suc ceed. Outside its international aspect the match is not likely to be as good a one as that of Myer and Burge, and will cost lour times as much. The chances are that JIo Aulifie has signed to fight Burge, though the club officials are silent. The club is seeking to persuade Corbett to meet Mitchell in April. The champion is busy making 2ns 100,090 pile belore he fijrhts again. 3? Uzsiramons will soon be here and will train at his old quarters in Bay St. Louis.

Bonner Contends That Horses Are 3fow Ho Better Than ITormerly. Chicago, Dec 19. Frederic Bonner, of Kew York, son ot the sase or the trottine; tur., is in Chicago on Ms nay home rrom an extended tour In the West. He has some original Tiews on training and tho possible bpeed or the trotting horse. "Xo one can tell, however, the limit or speed or a hor.-e in these days or mechanical improvement," he (aid, in commenting on the last time made by trotters the past season. "lhe last time made by a hundred horses tbl"? year shows that It is the pneumatic tire ilfcy that has made the difference. When it i considered that the nnmber of horses that have entered the 2:15 list this yea. ex ceed the number of those that had tto ted within that limit lor all time belore. It is Bay to Kee that something causes this great advance other than the Improvement made in breeding and training. Of course, no one can calculate wnat the improvements of the future will do for trotting horses, hut I stick to my original statement that the home n ill never look through a bridle and beat two minutes on the old-iasnioned track latched to the ordinary sulky. Kite tracks and pneumatic tires havo dune great things for the trotters, but tho horses making this last time by these Improvements aro not greater than their piedecessors by tho dil lcrence indicated by the records. Tne dir leience in tho speed or the kite track and iC old-fashioned track lias been variously -miniated irom half a second to twoeec- 4 sismlam tib iTftm ,KmmmmmtmmmasMfisjM otitis; a gieat deal depends upon tlie horse's training "Tiic difference in the speed a horse can make when hitched to a pneumatic tire sulky and to an ordinary , sulky Is still greater, so that when tho-e phenomlnally fast records are made the ne,w Improve ments should bo taken into consideration so as to corroctly estimate the speed capac ity or the animal. Sunol's reoord is Z$S$i on a kite-shaped track, hut until she is driven over the Cleveland track to an ordi nary sulky in 2:C8JX, or less, I must consider Jlaud S the greater periormer of tho two." Want the Algeria Farm. Ems, Pa., Dec. 13. Special. A party of Erie men who are Intel ested in tnrf matters are making an effort to secure a leaso of the Algeria stud farm, owned by the late Will am L. Scott, with a view to establishing a mile trotting track and getting Erie into the Die race circuit. The stables on the Alseria iarm are larso enough to accommodate 300 horses, and there aro exercising sheds, etc, that would make the equipment complete for ;i fl at-clas racing; track. The proposed new track will bo built on the same ground now occupied by the track used by the Al geria (arm luniirri, within oasv aistance of tho city bv electric street car lines. The old track iied there for the trottinjr meetings is onlvabalf mile, and it has bean difficult to make the race meetings prominent. Buylnj: Horses In New York. Ilenry Schmulbach and F. J. Park, of Wheeling, went to Xcw Tork last evening to attend the Ilobart sale of horses. They own the Eliiislmrst stable, a few miles from Lex ington, and out of TO trotters have nino stal lion of Electioneer stock.

Hewitt Slay Buy Again. Waehii-otox, Dec. 19. ISieeialO That the baseball situation is satisfactory to lovers or the national game cannot be claimed by any one. The owner of the local club does not appear to be particularly anxious to retain his property, and, so far as can be learned, is not doing anything to win the approval and support of the Washington public. That he is willing and anxious todisposo of the club is an undisputed fact. Ills figure is not a piohibitlve one, and if a nnmber of local gentlemen could be prevailed upon to bny the club, its lnturc would be assuied. ilr. Walter lien itt, who has had consider able experience in local baseball matters, w ould be a llist-class man to form a company lor the put cuase of the club. While he has not said so in so many words, it is under stood by those well posted that be is willing to put up halt oi tue money, piovided two other gentlemen can be found who will sup ply the balance. Mr. Wagner's price is $M, 00j. ol which $S,C0O must be cash, bnt it is likely that somo i eduction in those figures could lie obtained. They are not exorbitant figures by any means, and it is more than likely that beforo a great while some decided change will he made in the ownership of the ciuu. BTJBGE SIGNS AETICLES.

I LACKED BORGIA NERVE. Sensational Testimony in the Ebensbnrg Poisoning' Case. Ebensbuug, Pa., Dec 19. Mrs. Kate Painter, charged with poisoning her hus band, was siren a preliminary bearing here this evening. The theory of the prosecu tion is that she .killed the man in order to realize on his insurance, that being indicat ed by so much of the evidence as the State saw fit to offer at the hearing. The Com monwealth has a strong case, admittedly, and although counsel for the defense asked for a continuance or conclusion of the hear ing to-morrow, she will be held without bail to answer a charge of murder. One of the Commonwealth's witnesses, young Carter, testified that he entered the room where the dead man lay,, and as he opened the donr he heard Mrs. Painter cry, as she threw herself upon the body lying on bed, "O God, forgive me for what I have done." And again she ex claimed, "What will his children think of me." There was a most dramatic scene in the little court when this testimony was civen, and it created a tremendous sensa tion. At the continuauce of the hearing to morrow it is expected that the chemist Irom Pittsburg will be present and tell what he discovered by his expert examination of the dead man's stomach. The woman; whose life mav be at stake in these proceedings, h a delicate looking creature, her appearance indicating any thing but the disposition to attempt or the force to carry into execution such a crime for purely mercenary motives. Tne exami nation ot the State's witnesses was bad for the defense, as tar as counsel on that side of, the case carried it, and wliem the hearing adjourned for the time Mrs. Painter had to be almost carried on the arm ot her son back to the jail. A STOCKMAN SKIPS. He Leaves Lots of Creditors and Some Forged Paper. Isdianapolis, Dec 19. The locality about Crawfordsville is greatly excited over the flight of MiloTomlinson, the well known breeder of fine stock. Tomlinson has for several years done a large business in all kinds of stock. His running horses carried away many honors last season. Both himself and wife are of prominent and influential families. He was supposed to be doing a splendid busi ness, and nothing irregular was noticed until about a month ago, when one of his large stables burned, together with several blooded horses. The entire outfit was heavily insured. Since then Tomlinson has converted all he had into cash, and sev eral daysago fled the country. Since Tom linson's flight no news has 'been received from him, but his creditors have been springing up on all sides. The young man proves to have been not only a debtor, but a lorger, and he had put his father's name to numerous notes and papers without his consent or knowledge The elder Tomlinson is involved to the extent of thousands of dollars, but states that he will meet his son's paper as though it were genuine. The fleeing one is known to have taken a large sum with him. BAD FIRE IN ST. LOUIS. Over 8450,000 Worth of Property De- strojed and n Life Lost. St. Louis, Dec 19.
