Another ..Jockey who was barred is J. A."

That was a peculiar ruling the trotting tribunal made on the Maud S.-Lou Dillon high sulkey records. The "performance of the Billings mare In reducing the for mer queen's mark from 2:08 V to 2:05, over the same track, was1 ruled out be cause Lou Dillon ''had previously per formed In faster time, - which perfor mance was her record, -and precluded the slower performance from being' a rec ord" Maud S.'s record was realfirmed because It "was not only her. best time but the best time ever made up to that date and was a record." In plain En glish, the tribunal decided that Maud S.'s record must stand through eternity as a monument of sentiment, no doubt, to the memory of Robert Bonner. The tribunal would have been justified in-ruling Lou Dillon's high sulky record on the ground that the sulky she drew had ball bear ing hubs and other modern appliances, perhaps, while the one used by Maud S. had old fashioned plain hubs. - But the magnates went farther thhn that. Tfc-ey have made It Impossible for Lou Dillon, or any other horse, with a record lower than 2,:0894, to break the Bonner mare's record technically.. Even If Mr. Billings should secure the old sulky , used by Maud S. and drive Lou Dillon a mile In better time than 2:08 on the Cleveland track,, without .a dust guard or a pace maker within a thousand miles, Maud 8. wilt still hold the high sulky record" ac cording to tha ruling Just made, because the Billings mare already has a lower record. Not unless she could beat 1:58 with the old sulky used by Maud 8. could she claim the high sulky record accord ing ,to that decision. Ot course,; that lis nonsense so far as the general public is concerned. The object in going after the Bonner mare's record at all was simply to settle, the long standing- dispute whether there was a trotter of today as good as Maud 8. under the conditions in vogue when 1 the latter , was queen. Lou Dillon settled that when she trotted in 2:05 to a high sulky which weighed enou gh mere- than Maud S. 's to- offset any ad vantagehr- ball tfeartngs. It s likely that Mr. Billings will send his mare after that record . with the Maud 8. sulky. If he can obtain the loan of , it, or one as near, like it. as possible, and without a pacemaker In front, to demon strate his point to .the. publlo beyond question. - It Is likely he wilt be able to do so, but under the ruling made he will never be able to supplant Maud S.'s rec ord on the books of the Trotting Regis ter association. In which case the horse loving public will side with Lou DIII014 and leavethr mustyTecorda to the Bon ner heirs. If they can derive any satis faction from them. Chicago Tribune. STOCKMEN TREATED . TO BOXING EXHIBITION ;. ,, ... r -. ,.. .-. t . The delegates to the livestock conven tion were entertained at- a smoker given In their honor at the armory last even ing, during which they were amused, by a specially arranged program under the direction of Tommy Tracey, ' the well known local bonlface, who acted as mas ter 'of - ceremonies. ;: ": - The main event of the evening was a six-round bout between Jimmy Reilly and Jimmy Barry. Barry - outweighed Relriy In the neighborhood ot 20 pounds, but the ' latter had decidedly the best of the argument, although Referee Bob Day called It a draw. .' Reilly showed considerable of his old time ability and displayed much better form than his opponent, - who appeared to be considerably . over . weight and lacked training. The bout was fairly Interesting and the stockmen seemed to enjoy, the affair heartily. - Another feature on tho "card was two four-round 'bouts between Brogan - and TJhlman and Dunne and Larson, young lads who are pupils at Tracey's boxing school. , The lads displayed considera ble science and the bouts were well -received by the audience. . - - ; 8everal colored people amused tha visitors with buck and -wing and cake walk dancing, and several - other -amusing features were given underTraceya direction. On the whole the evening's entertainment was a success and en Joyed by all who. wero present 1 SPOKANE ATHLETES ' ELECT OFFICERS Spokane; Jan. 1$. In view of the fael that the North Pacific Athletic associa tion will meet In Spokane this year, the Spokane Amateur Athletic association Is considering carefully the office of com mittee chairman. One of the most im portant positions on the board will be that ot the athletto committee. It is stated that C. C. Hoxel, - the present holder of the position, will again be ap pointed to the office, and that the ath letic work outlined last year by the pro fessor will be carried' out this year. Aside from this position, the makeup of 'the committees is not known, as the president hsa not given out his appoint ments. Beginning last year the club adopted the plan of making the chair man of the athletic committee captain of athletics, and It will most likely follow that Professor Hoxel will be captain. The following are the new directors that have been elected for the ensuing year: Jack Foster, Sol Mayer, C. C Hoxel, W. 8. McCrea, I. M. Cornthwalt, and George Dreher of the old board, were re-elected, with J. 1L Yates as a new member. , ATS KB IS JACK 2C AITtrrTB.

HOLD MEETING - (Journal Special Service.) ; - Spokane, Jan. 16. President Lucas ex pects to see Seattle-In' the .Pacific Na tional league,1 but' is now making .his plans, without j considering Dugdale. Lucas will at once, move his headquar ters, from Tacoma to." Spokane, i There la but little question of his being. re elected ' president 'of 'the P. fN. L. . for another year.:: JJpth President Lucas and John McCloskey, " manager 'of the Salt Lake baseball team, are in the city ready for the meeting of the baseball magnates today. ', Lucas ' today " denied th,at Dugdale had sold out and said he would not believe it' until he he&rd from Dugdale himself. McCloskey, however, says that there Is , 110 question' about Dugdale's position, and that he has been dickering with the' Pacific Coast league for 'some time, "and that. Seattle la un questionably With the other league. 1 " , The plans now being considered by McCloskey Lucas and William are for a four-club league, including Ogden, Salt Lake, Butte and Spokane. ' Lucas said today that he would rather have a four club league located In four good towns than six when one "of the latter was a poor town. ' He believes the P. N. L. will be 'composed of four clubs, and says that the fans will have a good article of base ball. As some- of the1 games' will have to be played, east of the mountains, the season will commence later than-It did last year. In all probability the first game will be played about April 29, and the- season will last for either 16 or 18 weeks. President Lucas is -In favor of five day per week instead of six as played last year.- It' seems certain -that this number will be played, giving each team between 80 and 90 games. A-HUNTER'S YARN IN THE USUAL VEIN iv "Speaking of fall hunting reminds ms of a freak shot I. made some -years sgo while hunting squirrels- up 'In -Arkansas," said the story teller, "and I want to Jt ell you at the -very beginning . that this Is no Lamar Fontaine tale. It -Is the; story of a real happening.- -1 had gone out early one morning Into. an ex tremely low dip in the Bt Francis basin to (hunt squirrels. -.They were plentiful In that section and. I had to go -only, a short -distance -f rom the- house-to -find alt the : gamTl wanted, i The under growth, made up of cane and trees, was very, thick, and it- was Impossible.- to see any very great distance. , I was soon surrounded -by barking , squirrels,, and was making every effort to get in sight so I could ? begin., to; pluck - them w(th my rifle. , Directly'-1 , got within range of one large, fellow , who had perched himself out on a limb, where be was barking to beat the band. , He was not more . than 20 feet .from- the ground, and was probably 50 yards from me.. -1 could lust .get a glimpse of him through an opening In the leaves, rwhlch fell' In between the squirrel and myself.

But tho squirrel was not of so . much importance on -that' morning. The freak shot spoiled the sport of that day.'-1 had-to go home,-for 'the -turkey was really too much 'of a load for' one man. I had no - room for squirrela" "AGRICS" DEFEAT LOCAL ALL' STARS 'In one of the cleanest' games ever played on a Portland floor the All-Stars were defeated last night by the Oregon Agricultural college' five by a score of 26 to 18. -The game was well played and reflects- credit -on 'both, teams -and officials. ; Portland succeeded In throw ing' seven field- baskets,: while the Agri cultural threw- six. but the difference of score was due to , the farmer boys' superiority In tossing baskets from. the foul line. Swan . distinguished himself by basketing 14 out of 16 fouls, that were called on the Portland team. He was certainly the wlsard.of the gam and It Is undoubtedly, due to his excel lent playing that Corvallla owes her vic tory. . . '. . One star feature of the game was a baaket thrown. by Mackle, -who caught the. ball Just as it was about to go out of bounds and, with three Corvallla men guarding, him, - succeeded In netting a basket. Mackle was considerably strengthened, by the lightning plays of Thornton, and for the first time this year showed his old-time cleverness.

Tommy Ryan and Jack-O'Brien finally agreed to contest six' rounds-" at Philadelphia, where .the decision a to which rs the 'better man. Is left to the Judgment of the spectators.' In all argu ments which led up to the present match Ryan positively stated, -times wjthout number, that he. would, not engage in a six-round contest, with -O'Brien, as he considered him too-speedy In a-contest over so short . a distance.

By FREDERIC J. IIASKINS, Special Panama, Dee. 24, 1903. -We sat around a little table In a cafe in old -Panama, and as the slippered waiter brought us wine of old vintage, and placed beside us a box of black, evil looking cigars, the old resident told me stories of the days when French blood flowed so freely on the Isthmus, and French gold ran so nimbly through the fingers of profligate promoters. -. :.' -'--;'. "Upon my soul, senor, - w of Panama will never see such days s gain such liv ing and such dying. Think of It! The pay jroll every 16 days took a million dol lars. Wagon loads of gold, taken from the stockings ot the. peasantry of far away France,, were scattered here like chaff. In the trenches 80,000 men tolled in the steaming heat, and none of them, from director-general to South African laborer, tried to save a cent : j- ; , "In tho gambling houses the play ran high. ; It was not unusual to see men oomlng and going with bags of gold be neath their arms. And when they won? Ah, senor!" Believe me when I tell you that tftose French men were high rollers! There was Jean, who cabled to his sweetheart- In Paris, a- thousand kisses ' for you, my sweet one. and a franc for every kiss.' The charges were very high In those old times, but he counted out the money on the shelf at the cable office, and went away laughing at the thought of how surprised his sweetheart would be when she got his - message arid the money,'' for he actually; cabled her a thousand franca. ' DlYfler and His Horses. . "And there was Dlvgler, the director of the works. Such a team of horses as he brought here we shall not see again. What I the word you Americans have for ltT Teg, that is it they were high steppers. "Well, as I was going to say, the director and his family, they did have such splendid drives behind that fine team, until one day the dreadful news came that the mother and daughter and son - were all dead of the fever. It made all Panama sad to hear It and Dlvgler -poor Dlvgler he shot 'the horses and went back to France a home less, broken-hearted man. It would have been a mercy if the fever had taken him with the others,' ).:-.) '-.: ';-.-'-t.. "Money was so easy to get, senor, that no one put the proper value on it You had but to ask your price and It would be given. A dollar for a pink to wear in your buttonhole. Another ' dollar for a pineapple. Do you see that house by the palm tree, -where the ltttl girl Is play IngT In the -old daya I let-tt-for 300 ths month. When Madame Sarah Bern hardt came to Panama to give five per formances, I gave 8260 for a season ticket I thought I could afford It but I guess I was a foot for now I get but 860 the, month for my house. Pinks and pineapples can now be had for a dime. Do you think, senor, that the Americana will pay as much rent as the French?- "1 know now that ws were all very extravagant hut of course, none ot jis realised , it then. We acted like gold was going to run through the canal in stead of water. High living was a sort of contagion that spread Ilka the fever. The directors used so much champagne that it seemed they must be washing their faces In It, and the African laborers got - so fastidious that they wanted ohlcken at every meal. Those poor Afri cans, i whom averybody thought , would make such good laborers on the canal, turned out to be one grand disappoint ment They were not good workers, and they were always complaining about their food.,: They suffered terribly from , the berl-beri, which, if you do not ' know, makes tha blood very thin, and causes the limbs to swell. There were several ship loads of them sent here, but only a few lived to return. I speak tha truth when I say that I hope their like will not pass this way again. '.",.. Praod and Speculation. "Fraud, did-you say? Tea, young sir. It was dreadful. In those times there were no agents at tha stations on the railroad, and no tlcketa were sold to pas sengers. The conductors collected the money, and as they took It in they put part In one pocket for the company and part In aonther pocket for themselves; They took - great sums, because there were tour trains each way every day, and many people traveled upon them all. When the company finally became suspi cious and began to investigate. It - de veloped that the conductors had - been going to the banks each day with two bags of 'money to deposit one for the company and one for themselves. The contractors would draw money every 16 days, and their pay rolls would be padded with the names of many men who were not employed at all. Tha system of measurement was very corrupt also. The company engineers and the engineer; of the contractors would combine to swin dle, They would turn in approved reports for much more work than had really been accomplished, and then divide the sums derived from their cheating between themselvea Do you not agree that It was all very shameful? "Private speculators grew rich over night I remember well the firm of Isaacs A Ash, In Colon, who. It was said and I believe it was tha truth cleared 825 an hour for a whole, year. Before the boom began they leased about 100 choice lots from the Panama Railroad company, for prices ranging from 375 to 1360 per lot Many of these they afterward sub let for as much as 86,000 the year. Wasn't that a glorious profit to realise from a business venture? And. mind you, that was not all, those fellows had everything to sell from a carpet tack to a linen col lar, and always at prices that were splendid believe me, sir. at prices that were simply splendid. And yet this firm lost In the end. I assure you that we of old Panama will never again have the gold rain hi our laps aa it did then." As he finished this prophetic speech the old man took up .his glass and drank a silent teast tq the glory of departed daya For some time he sat communing with the thoughts of lost opportunities. A mendicant stopped to hold out his be seeching hands; pigeons fluttered In the narrow street; the heavy, two-wheeled carta of the tropics trundled noisily over the crumbling cobble stones; parrots screamed from their perches on the bal conies, and I sat in silence, waiting for my venerable friend to connect the threads of his thought and weave them Into words for m. Finally he Jit an other black cigar, and with the inevitable gesture, said: . 1 .,;..? A Journey to Death. "May I never know of another case so sad aa that of the girl. Mathilda, who came all the way from Paris to surprise her sweetheart He was an employe on the works. The very day she landed they took his shrunken, fever-eaten body to the burying ground on Monkey hilt. No one had. the heart to tell her. For a day she went about her bright eyes shining with if oppressed .Joy... and her plump, little arms just aching to get around hi neck. In the evening the band waa playing in the plasa, and the patios were crowded with roystering, gesticulat ing Frenchmen, sipping . absinthe and amoklng perfumed cigarettes. I well re member. It was the evening of the day when the grand drawing In. the lottery oc curred, consequently, there was the Jingrle of much coin In the pockets of the spend- Correspondent of The Journal thrifts. .Finally. Father Amatulo, a kind old priest took her gently by the arm and lea her to the house of prayer, where, as you know, it is good to be when your heart Is heavy.;. He told her as gently aa he could. May the saints preserve mo, what did she do? She slipped away from him, sank to her knees for a moment before the shrine, muttered one pitiful little prayer, then rati away Into tho night They aearched for her' through many weary days and when they found her she waa prone upon her face, with a little crucifix clasped tightly in her dead hands, and the green fingers of the Jungia clutching at her throat. ; tittle Stories of Da tesseps. . "Very well. Indeed, do I remember Monsieur de Lesseps, the great promotor. He waa a grand man. and you have- myv solemn word for It that he was In no way responsible Tor the wretched failure of the great canal. Not ono franc of the squandered millions found Its way to his pocket Ha was pilfered by those In whom he put his trust. While he was . in Panama he went among the poor, and gave aims to all who ask of htm. He was a plain man. - Every morning ha would be off to rldo his horse by six o'clock. I recall the fact1 that I once desired to speak with him, and I' was told that I must call ; very early at tho house ot the bishop, where he was staying at ths time, or he would be away on his horse. I called too early. The good man was not out of bed. lie was so polite that rather than keep mj waiting he received me neglige, and I make the statement In all truth, that he was just as aftabl and engaging as if he were speaking to ; me across a banquet table, attired in full dress, with the red ribbon of tho Legion of Honor across his breast, Instead of standing there before me In his night shirt--. - -.V,'-. , - "I never shall forget this day Mon- . sleur De Lesseps dedicated tha canal As you may well believe, ha waa a great man In Panama at that time, and ' It was an honor to be near him and so many people wera taken In the launch, that -was - to convey him to tha cere-, raony ; that H waa very much over crowded..: Great delay was experienced in getting under way, but I am sorry,, to say it sir, w were soon stuck In tha mud. - Rowboats came to tha , rescue and 'the distinguished personage was finally conveyed to tha scene of tha festivity. - A bottle of water had been brought- from-, the Atlantlo ocean, and at tho conclusion of : a graceful little speech, In which ' he referred to his other-BTeat-antairprlse." the Sue canal, """ as a 'shining ribbon stretching across ' the desert . sands,- he broke tha bottle and mingled the waters of tha two oceans. Then he went away, and we ot old Panama were . not permitted - to look upon his face again. "I am told that when ha arrived in your wonderful city, New York, he waa amased at the unusual sights. . When ha saw the atreet cars and tho Brooklyn bridge he shook his head In profound thought and then - ex clealmed' The audacity of these Amer icans, to do things like this.' Is it not strange, sir, that after all these years, the 'audacious Americans,' as he very properly called them, are com ing here to tear down our mountain, and let the ships of all seaa sail across our isthmus? ' How much rent do you think I will be able to get for my, house T' - , ' Yankees Will Hot Tan. : -' X could not have the heart to tell him - that the . sanitary committee might ' tear his house down In tho search for tha breeding places of mos quitos. This - garrulous old man, who talka so : smoothly and eloquently as only a Spanlord can, has little idea of what the near future has In store for him and his rotting, crumbling city. If the American government under takes the task ot completing tha giant ditch ' that Da Lesseps began. It Will do things that will make him' open wide his eyes in wonderment It will not scatter gold- for him to : gather, but it will start a crusade of renova tion that will make his homo seem Ilka a strange place to him. 'In a little while it will have him, and all his neighbors, so clean that they will feel uncomfortable.- They have neglected their surroundings 'so long that they do not appreciate how bad they really; are. , They are : sanitary . backsliders of tho worst sort But they don't think so. Tha people of Colon will tell you that. Panama is where all tha fever comes from, while residents ot Panama will say: "Isn't Colon Jus dreadful? Did you ever see tha Ilka tho way those people live?" It la another case of the mote In tha eye, except that in each Instance tha said mote Is about as.blg as a brick. It la very true that Panama will see no, mora such days as when tha adventurers " of France ; wera here. More millions will be spent and mora men will die, but there will ba no fail ure this time. The -"audacious Ameri cans" will surely complete their task, enca they start, upon It . When I made this last statement to t tha old man sitting with ma In the cafe, ha brisk ly? rubbed his ' withered hands, and said; rthat ; is good, upon my word It : Is. and when you. write about Panama do me the favor to say that I have a house, to let" ' - , , Arcade Sunday 3 to 10 p. m.
