"Prtc; JhV n2 STILL UHTAKEN Sullivan Thinks Money for Private Match, Will Be Raised Tonight. Is SHOO hard to raise amonar the flnl Ilvan wrestling contingent! or are the Dacxers or tne Montana near profession al fearful of losing their coin on his chances for a private bout with Eddie u :onneii7 . O'Connell's slmoleons to the number of half a thousand are still uncovered at Schiller's cigar store. This morning Sullivan sauntered into the smokestand and announced that he had been training for the bout and that the money .would probably, be laid to night. Strangler Smith, who was also in cluded in the O'Connell bet of $500. has been silent for several days. The strang ling (Trappier thinks he has a chance with O'Connell, but in order to get into the going with the local champion ho will nave to show the color of his coin. Heretofore the wrestling colony has thought O'Connell's talk was of stage money. Several of the old guard thought it was stage money that Riley of Ta coma, who lasted but six minutes, had Kut up. But it wasn't. It was good ard cash. Riley thought he had a chance and put up $260 In real money. He lost It like a good sport, even If he proved a wrestler inferior to the Multnomah Instructor. It takes more than the few dollars taken in at the gate to tempt 0;Con nell Into a match. He knows what he ran do. Sullivan's only claim to recog nition 4s the fact that he won the na tional championship. He did not win an Olympic championship in Athenv, having lost the decision. O'Connell's pupils have won this same national championship that Sullivan boasts so much about. 1 HOLT STEALS ONE LAP Oil SIX-DAT SKATERS . Slipping, away from the field ' in the six day roller' skating racs at th Ex position rink last night. Eddie Holt stole a lap. on the nearest, competitors before any one was aware of the" in tentions of the game little racer. Holt is now one lap . to tbe good over all others, and Is In grand form. If he has ny luck during the . remaining four nights he should win" the race with a good handicap. Holt covered two -mors laps than were negotiated last night. Both he and Harold Card who won the race last year, went Into tne second Installment one lap to the good over Kruse. 'Kruse also was ' in fine shape last night and he hung onto Holt like a leech, both boys finishing with the same number of laps, 1S. Card was unintentionally Interfered with and drorDed behind one of the slower skaters., but he could not make up the ground fast enough and was soon passed again dv moh sjii Kruse. Both Holt and Card finished a lap ahead of Kruse Monday night, which places Kruse and Card on equal footing. Ross Copeland Is the unlucky one or the octette. Lost night he fell again, hurtlna himself seriously. However. his pluck kept htm In the race and he finished II isds Bern na tne leaders. Rlckard is still suffering from "a touch of pleurisy and is unable to keep up ith the first section. Tne Dig pro fessional has a great stride and in a larger' hall and with better health -he might surprise the local talent. The racing last night was even more exciting than on the previous evening and the big crowd roared itself hoarse In the last 10 minutes of sprinting.

The one-hundredth anniversary of Mendelssohn's birth was celebrated today by music lovers and omers tnrougnoui tne oivuiiea world. The musical, organisations in nearly every city in Germany, had arranged more or less elaborate celebrations in honor of the composer of "A Midsummer Night's Pream" and of the -( ''Songs Without Words." Here and in several other larsa muslo centers the oelebra' tions were on a rather pretentious scale and assumed a popuiar character, seldom equalled by the anniversary oi a -composer's birthday. Practically- all' the rjrominent musical societies and edu cational institutions, including the Uni versity of Berlin, Mendelssohn's alma mater. Joined In the effort to honor the memory or the composer. i.. - Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy was born on February 3. 1808. the son of wealthy and hlirhlv educated banker. No. mors appropriate name could have been given him than Felix, which means luckv. hannv or fortunate. - He was born in the lap of wealth and throughout his lire nao everytnmg mat teven a ponea favorite of fortune could, wish . for. Wealth, a happy and refined home, first with his parents, later in his own do mestic olrclA. a resnected rjosltlon In so ciety and the fullest recognition and admiration of his genius by his coun trymen all were his. " A. Family of rxo&itTtes. Felix' Mendelssohn was the second of four children.. All were talented and it is said that his elder sister, Fanny Men delaaonn. was aven a more talented mu sician than he. His musical talent be came apparent In his earlM youth. When he had reached his eleveVtb year, he had comnosed 60 or 60 more or less meritorious compositions and It was de rided that he should be allowed to fol low his inclination and devote himself to a musical career. At the ags of 16 he had eomnleted his fourth opera. which the critics praised as highly orig inal and Individual. At the same time his general education was not neglected and Felix In due time entered the Uni versity of Berlin, where he distinguished himself by his brilliant literary attain ments.' It was generally admitted that Mendelssohn, had he chosen literature for his vocation, instead of music, would have become quite as famous as a writer as he did become as a composer, rheaomenal Versatility. ' In 184S Mendelssohn, together -with Schumann, David, . the violinist, and Becker, the organist,, founded the great Ielpslc. conservatory, which In . the course of time became the most Influential and prominent musical school in Germany. As a composer Mendelssohn ranks witn tne greatest creators of music of the nineteenth cen tury. As a pianist he was brilliant, re fined and noetlcal m his interpreta tion. As an organist. Mendelssohn gave a new impetus to enurcn music, partic ularly -tn England, a country which he visited 10 times and where he was al ways received with admiring enthusi asm. Literature Is Indebted to him for two volumes of the most exquisitely written letters and a translation. Into German verse of the "Andria' of the Latin poet Terenca. - Even the graphic art was not neglected by thatxversatile genius of his. During his sojourn In Switzerland Mendelssohn painted a number of water colors which, in the opinion of competent critics, showed a remarkable talent.- In music he left about 150 composi tions, among them several dratorlos. of which "Elijah" and "St. Paul" are un doubtedly the most popular," several operas, chief Of which "A Midsummer Night's Dream," containing the beautiful "Wedding March," and a large number of minor compositions, of which his "Songs Without Words" sre probsbly the most universally known. His or chestral compositions included sevefal beautiful and brilliant symphonic works, which rank among the musical classics. result; or any- parson who keeps, man ages, conducts, . maintains or ocsitles any nouse, room, snop, shed, tenement, tent, booth, building, - float or- vessel, or any part thereof, or who keeps,- man ages, conducts, maintains or occupies anyplace or stand, of any kind, upon any public or private ground, street, park, garden, enclosure or place, for the purpose of receiving, ' recording, regis tering, forwarding or transmitting any bets, . stakes op wagers, or of selling pools, ' or of book-making, upon any such race or result; or any person who. being the owner, lessee or occuDant of any house, room, shop, shed, tenement, tent, booth or bulldlnar., float or vessel. or part thereof, or of any ground., park, garden, enclosure or place, knowingly permits the same to be used or occupied for, y of the purposes herein pro hibited, or who knowingly permits to be keDt. exhibited or . iiimwI therein mv book, paper, board, device, apparatus or tmi Kpneraaiia, ror tne - purpose of rec ording or registering such bets, stakes or wagers, or for the purpose of such pooi-seiaing or - book-making; : or any ijcibuu, wiieiuer ii principal employer, owner, proprietor, agent, employe. ; or assistant, or as . orricer,.- agent or em ploye of a eorooratlon, whn U . sists, or abets, In any manner, any of the said acts or things which are hereby forbidden, is guilty.: of a felony J "u. upon-conviction tnereor, snall-.be imprisoned in the penitentiary for . a period of not less than one, nor more iiio.ii wires years.- ..- , - P0, J- An emergency , exists and this act shall take effect immediately.- AURIFEROUS SANDS ) : !NEARULSA;;,0lCliA.
