THE OMAHA DAILY IVElflsiPSVNBAV. JANUARY 2-1. 1897. A FLURRY \VINTRY \ SPORT Chatty Gosjip at tbo Whist Tabo ! and the Chess Board. WITH THE DEVOTEES OF ROD AND GUN Sonic Ili r r > - Tnllf ( 'n lliirilln'N While Miillunl .Vow * I ( If I III- III * I'lBllI MIHl ii f All ItlndH. The Omaha Whist club la enjoying a most flotirU-hlni ? condition Just now , In fact Is In better shape than ever before , the member ship Is larger and more Interest la manifest In the bi-weekly scttos , and n numbcY of expert playrrn arc being developed out of raw material. Their suite of apartments on the third floor In The IJco bulldlns arc admirably adapted to the purpose and ex ceedingly attractive , with their sumptuous riiRs , charming pictures and neat furniture. On Saturday last the club cent a team of four over to DCS Molnca to contest with a team from the local club for the Central Whist League trophy , and the ludicrous routing our rcprcwutatlvcs sustained has been the one theme of discussion since. The Omaha men were Shea , Alice , Jones and Scrlbncr , while those from the Iowa capital were Uarbach , Hunter , Matthews and Conrad. Thirty boarda wcro played In the afternoon and thirty more In the evening , the total score standing to 11 In favor of the Prohibitionists. To one understanding the process of duplicate whist this over whelming defeat Is hard to appreciate and Impossible to explain. It seems that four of the veriest tyros pitted against a quartet of pronounced cracks should make a bettor Bhowlng , depending on luck alone , but when It Is asserted that the four Omaha gentle men nro nil much more than fair players , this problem Is a knotty one Indeed. It must have simply been a cato of hoodoo. Speaking of whist remind ? me that I had a llttla talk with Prank II. Johnson' , the other evening. He Is unequivocally bne of the strongest and headiest players In Omaha , ana whatever ho advances upon the game can bo relied upon as being about as nrar the bull s- cyo as It Is possible to get. Said Johnson : "I am greatly Interested In the whist dis cussion you arc carrying on In The Dec. and I have to coincide thoroughly with what both Morrison and Kentetoa have said , still there are a lot of dUaenlers , especially on the long suit lead. This , however. Is to bo expected , and any man who takes Issue with the proposition , you can bet long odds that le , Is a man who plays by the focok. The theory of the old-time authorities that 11 Is on advantage to adopt the Invariable open ing of a long suit , arc theories based upon logic and not facts. The Invariable long null theory wcs as much a fallacy years ago as It Is today. As Kenlston averred , there are many hands held In the course of a series the long suit of game ? from which lead Is bad whist. Juet how many such hnmU arc dealt can alone bo deter mined by the Judgment of the p * { wlio holds them. To be successful at this highly Intellectual game of cards you must reason on the solid principles of the game nnd not on the effectiveness of machinery. These who play by machinery are sure to bo on the defeated eldo In the long run. The man who can sec by the texture of his hand that It would be disadvantageous to lead from a long suit when ho has a abort suit perfectly adapted for opening purposes Is the man who plays whist os If should bo played. The fact that most all , In fact I might nay all. the famous whlat players of the day recommend at times leads from two-card eults as trlck-tnklng .devices. . . renders u lengthy discussion of the subject unneces sary. If there Is today a. wujsjt player In Omaha who Invariably Insists on a lead from the longest suit ho ehouM b'o stuffed and fluid as a curio. The fundamental propo sition that there arc hands from which nhort suit openings are better than long suit leads bclntf agreed to , It remains only for student whist players to determine what these hands are and what are their limitations , and my ndvlco to all aspirants In this line la to en deavor to study out the systems based on facts and not on the fancies of soaio alleged authority who lisa managed to get a book published. " The chcfa match between Lasker and Stclnltz , which has been In progress at Moscow for a month past , came to a close on Saturday last , Laaker winning by a score of ten games to two , five being drawn. This was the second time these two great uxponcnts of the "deep game" met , Laaker demoiutratlng his miperlorlty over the old champion the first time , as ho did the lant. I saw Laskcr play at the Boston club In Now Orleans , twenty names simultaneously , nnd ho won them all. Ho Is a young Ger man Jew , not yet 28 years old. Ho comes of a good family and was educated In inatho- mallei ) and philosophy In the universities of Dcrlln and Gocttlngcn. Ho had been In tended by his parents for the learned profes sions. HLi extraordinary talents at chess , however , and hla defeat of older masters de termined him to glvo up his university Etudlrs. Laskcr Is about five feet eoven Inches In height , broad-shouldered , dark and BOinowhac heavy. Ho has a long head and high , broad forehead. Like most players , he la said to have an extraordinary talent for mathematics. Ho Is described as Edmowhat lacking In geniality. Is extremely nervous In playing , has a quick , keen eye and never hesitates at a move. No matter how many games ho Is carrying on at the same tlmo he niakca up his mind the moment his op ponent's move Is explained to him. Ilia strong points are his accumulation of force for end positions and his strong attacks. After hU llrst defeat of Stelnltz. Lasker won II rat prize In tourneys at Nuremberg and St. Petersburg. At the Hastings tourney bo took third place. Ho Is as strong In theory as In practice. iHU adaptation of the work "Common Sense In Chess" Is eoon to bo followed by a treatise of his own. The 'Brooklyn club Is getting Its repre sentatives Into shape for the coming cable chess match with Kngland. which Is ar ranged to take place on February 12 and 13. A great amount nf practlco play has boon Indulged In by IMIItrbury , Showalter , Harry , Hodgls , Hymes , Dolman and Helms , as these players hare every reason to suppose that they will bo Included In the ten who are to do battle for the honor of their club and country. A tournament Is being played In London under the auspices of the British Chess club for the purpose of giving prac tice to the English team. The rules to gov ern the match have all been arranged and are practically the same as thowo of last year , with the exception that the teams are to consist of ten playora a side Instead of eight. Only natlvw of the United States and of the United Kingdom of Great Dtltaln and Ireland are eligible to play. Inasmuch as It Is quite certain that a goodly nuirber of sportively Inclined Indi viduals In this part of the country will at tend the approaching big championship mill between Kltzslmmona and Corbctt , the fol lowing loiter may servo as advlco where Information with reference to the de tails of the trip may bo had. In this con- ncctlon I will add that all letters addressed to mo In connection with this matter will bo duly filed and attended to when the proper tliui1 arrives. "OHIOAdO. Jan. 18. Sandy Orlswold , SportliiR JJdltor of the Omaha lice : I am Just In receipt of Instructions from Dan A. Stuart requesting mo to make the following proposition to you : Ho would like to have you net as his agent In thn territory contiguous to Omaha , Sioux CMty , St. Joseph and as far vest as Denver. This meant , In a word , that you arc to represent him In matters per- tatnliig to the fight between Corbctt and irltzalninions. nchmlulcd to take pla'co on March 17 , The locution of llio battle Kround , Da yet not mndo public , ivlll ho sent to you In cypher , ft code for which will be sent you under separate cover , about a week In ad vance of It * publication ; thla U to enable you to make all transportation arrangements without hindrance ur opposition. You arc , too , to look after the pr < * work In your territory. 'JClmlly advhio wo If you can and will ecu til no this work. I.ouli M , Houseman. Sporting UdliT Chicago Inter Ocean. " Tlmo fuglts. There are uaw Just flfty-tbrco days Intervening between now and ( lie day at for the bis battle , and yet the public In Ju t M much In the < 1.irk a to the site of the combat an they were a month ago , and It will bo nothing but a RUPM until the day arrives , which linn been fixed for the I7th day of February , when Stuart proposed to fmnounco his plans. Already the wise guys have located the wcno of action at four dif ferent points , Mexico , Lower California , Ne vada and Wyoming , and notwithstanding thcro has boon no little evidence advanced In favor of each of thcso places , 1 stilt cling tenaciously to my drat belief , and that Is that the aunny land of the greaser will got the nlum. Corbett himself must have bean Mtiiowhat favorably Impressed with Mi ? Ne vada Idea , for ho remarked to a reporter over In St. Louis the other day that ho nxpcctcd to finish Ms training in California at a point as near as possible to the battle ground. Hut right on top of this comes the alleged as sertion from Dan Stuart himself that the ad vocates of the sago brush state are Qft their nut. and that the sporting fraternity coum prepare Itself for a pilgrimage to the peppery kingdom across the yellow Ilia Grande. And then again , comes the report that the "uluff Is off , " RD far as Juarez Is concerned , as the lawmakers of Chihuahua are about to Inter dict all such unsavory spcrt In that territory as bull fighting , cock fighting and prize flKhtlnc. But I do not believe this , as Gov ernor Ahumada la somewhat of a sport him self , nnd would Just as noon think of making his chlllconcarny out of sawdust as ho would to Blpn his name to a bill denying his sub jects the privilege of peeing a light between his trained matadors and a maddened bovine gentleman nnd turning the cockpit Into n hennery. But If this contemplated prohibi tive legislation Is true , Juarez \a \ not the whole of Mexico , by a long shot , and the state adjoining Chihuahua , where Fltz thumped Mahcr to sleep , offers a favorable haven for thn distressed bruiser , and It maybe bo that the Lone Star Imprci'sarlo has his optics on some secluded yet accessible spot hero. But , bo the ease as It may , wo are evidently going to have a fight. Fit and Corbett are undoubtedly In earnest , Dan Stuart Is as self-satisfied and complacent an a summer dream , nnd all the big calibre sports In the country express thcmselvru as oatlsficd that the mill U to bo dumped some where within the rim of the earth that will net be Impossible to reach. So what's the UHS of repining ? There Is only a short Mme to wait , and wo will all soon know what wo shall know. Fully as big a conundrum as the where abouts of the site of the coming mill la Jim Corbett's condition. In one city whom the ox-champion ban recently been , the veracious reportorlal Interviewer has him In oven better fettle than he ever was In hlu life , In another he la depicted at a. man who has been advancing backward ; one sayn ho will cat Fitz up without salt or vinegar , another that Fltz will bo all over him be fore he has tlmo to know that ho Is alive. But I have Just run across an analysis of the subject which smaclra ICES of unprejudiced criticism than anything I have yet seen. It Is the work of one of the St. Louis Republic's erudite scholars , and hero It Is : "Mr. Corbett Is at present In St. Louis. Like the girl In the song who told the fol low to tell them that ho saw her he la looking well. Of course , he Is aging a lit tle , more through the cares of business and of growing wealth than from the Increase of years. He Is no longer the boy he wco when he whipped Sullivan. He Is 30 and very sober. At 26 he was a kid fond of rompj and larks. Now ho Is a man who docs not want to talk to you unless It be about money or the way to make It. "Physically ho Is still Corbett. He Is ro bust and apparently stronger than ever. Perhaps ho docs lack" the least bit of the supple grace which characterized him after hl9 light with Sullivan and before his bat tle with Mitchell. But he la very much the same Corbclt , fast , swift and eager to work. He has thickened a trifle about the body and the limbs , and , although ho has not a particle of fat on him , ho Is apparently stouter. Compared with the grand young athlete who conquered Sullivan he Is a llt- tlo , Just a little , stumpy. Of course , this may bo only Imagination. Thcro is no doubt that he Is as tall. If not taller , 'than ho was at that time , and he says that ho docs not weigh any more. But dressed for the ring ho appears a full ten pounils heavier and at least two Inches shorter. But Corbctt was young and ambitious In those days and he was after the applauro and gooJi will of the people , things that are primarily necessary to the acquirement of their dollars. Now that ho has n share of all three It may be that ho does not care to work so hard. Be that as It may , 'there Is not the least doubt that Corbctt docs not give bis cpcctators as fine a go for their money as ho did some four years ago. U may ba that Mr. McVoy , his present sparring part ner , Is not ns competent a foil as Johm Dan- nldaou and Steve O'Donnoll , who were clever boxers , and could elcvato their hands with some skill. Maybe Corbett Is net so fast as ho was , nor eo dashing. Ho certainly did appear a trlllc cnnulcd and Jaded yesterday. Five years ago ho .Impressed you ns a man the texture of whcie flesh and musclcr : was finer than that of any man you had ever seen. The difference was something like that between fine hardwood and rough , soft , pine. You Imagined that his muscles were the finest kind of spring steel cov ered with silk , and that there cf the averagn fighter wcro as a chunk of railroad Iron sewed up In a piece of bear skin. "That Impression of Corbett doca not conic to you now with such force. He has , to a certain extent , coarsened. His gain In phy sical robustness may have a compensating effect on hlo nervous system which It was said was so highly strung that It hurt him. All this may be so , but somehow or other I would rather have the slender , nervous , loycus.boyish Corbett , with the eloquent tnccs. the thirty head and the flashing flsts .ban tbo big , strong man with the powerful olnn and tired eyes and mouth Inclined to tide behind his hand In a yawn. Corbett's speed has ibccu the wonder of the ring. Noth ing like It has ever been si-en In n heavy weight and It Is doubtful If his equal In this point has ever been.at any weight. Then the perfect condition In which ho always turned up for his fights enabled him to carry this ihcnomenal speed over a long distance. Corbett cannot carry his ppeed tinlcss ho s In perfect condition. At leapt tbo distance ho carries It will bo In ratio -with the condl- : loit ho may bo In. It .Is .pretty . certain that 10 has ( ho speed. Now he has got to have .he condition .to carry It If ho has.to go a ourncy with Fltzslmmons and wants to win. The greater a man s speed the finer condi tion ho should bo In , as great speed requires a great effort to sustain It. You can take a locomotive built to go rlxty imlles an hour and If there Is a defect In her you will shako her to pieces. A poor boiler will not stand the pressure ; neither will an unsound wheel. Everything must bo sound to carry grtat speed. Corbett Is far faster than Fltz- iltnmono ; hence he must , If he wants to use Ms fercnt gift , bo In much better condi tion than his dull , phlegmatic opponent , who can flounder comfortably along In his own ungainly , lazy and deadly effective way. And If Mr. Corbett wants to get Into this kind'of condition , he will at once quit tllo road and go Into training , which , lu his case , should mean reat. " The hope for a patch-up between Yale and Harvard seems to have gone glimmering. The announcement Is now made that Yale will go ahead and make what athletic ar rangements she can regardless of her old rival , and this means that the big boat race at Poughkeepale this year will again be confined to Pennsylvania , Harvard , Colum bia and Cornell , with the po-alblc addition of the Wisconsin crew , which would be a wel come accession , at least In Cornell , whose spirit 1ms alwayn been to row anyone , any where and at any time , regardless of the prospects for victory or defeat. As to Yale , the students at Cornell are Indifferent and they care little whether he ro\va any one or not , yet would doubtless bo the first to grant the Now Havcultcs permission to cu ter It sbo should ask to Uko part In the quadrangular race. Until last year Yule held the record for the four-mile course , and claimed the championship la rowing. Yet she refused to have anything to do with Cor- ncll , on the ground that she was an Inferior Institution. Now that Cornell holds all the records In rowing Yale claims that she does .not want to cuter Ihe big race because net past relations with Cornell have not been pleasant. Then Yalqj'.tfaccs the feellug back to a foot ball Ramo thnt took place In Ith aca la 1S91 or 1592. Thu gamu referred to was a rough name , but us long as Yale won by the score of 72 to 0 , Cornell men fall to see why Yale elioulil feel HO bad about It. The fact has just now been disclosed- that only two yrani ago Yale challenged Cornell to a game of hojo ball , which OorneU could not accept , ns I am crqdlfably Informed by Charlie S , Young of this paper , who was tkuu manager of ( be Cornell team. TliU leads Cornell men to believe that thcro la another reason , aside from hard feeling , why Yale does not want to enter the big race at Poughkccpsle. The local trotting circuit has finally been agreed upon and Is undoubtedly a good one , Including as It docs the cltlrs of Omaha , Denver , Lincoln , Sioux City , St. Joseph , Dei Molncs and Ottumwn , The Omaha dates will bo In Juno and It Is the Intention of the man agement to maku the week's session the best ever held here. The card will bo a good one from the opening to the closing day , nnd as the purees nra to be moro at- tractlvo than over , a lot of the best homes In the country may bo confidently expected here. Scott McCoy , the manager of the track , has not been Idl ? this winter by any means , and ho says that by Juno next he will bo ublo to show the horsemen the finest truck In the couniry. By the way , talking of harness racing romlndu mo that there were more horses of 2.15 capacity last season than ever be fore , nnd still there were no stars of the first magnitude among them , nur wcro there many world's reeorda of Importance made. Fantasy , of the free-for-all division , trotted the fastest mile of the season , -'lOO'/a. but tills was so far below the standard of the three or four preceding campaigns that It only served to make the absence of such as Allx. Dlrectuni , Azoto nnd Nancy Ilnnkc more marked. The 2-year-old New York colt , .lupe , scored the fastest time over made in a race by a youngster of his age , 2:13 : % , but the performance was not within gunshot of Arlon's marvelous 2-year-old record of 2:10 : ? ! to nn old style sulky. The fastest 3- ycar-old record was 2:12' : , , made by Mal colm Forbes' Blngcn , nnd of the 4-year-olds the big Nebraska colt , Pat L , was the bright particular ytar. He opened the campaign by lowering hla 3-ycnr-old mark of 2:11 : % to 2:09V4 : > and then placed to his credit the fastest record over made on a half mile track 2:10V : . and finally wound up an arduo'ua season's work by defeating Fantasy , Bcu zctta , Wlllam Pcnn and the other stars o the free-for-all brigade at Lexington.In . the fastest seven heat race ever trotted. Tin. Nebraska horse would bo looked upon as a veritable phenomenon If there had never been a Dlrectum , and as It Is he Is an ani mal of which every western honrjman can bo Inordinately proud. The Western Interstate Football league held Its meeting some time ago , and on account of the absence of Iowa's representa tive no game was scheduled for Omaha. At first sight this would seem to be a less to the local football loving public , but after n little consideration ) ono will sco that It was really a good thing , for several reasons. Omaha has Just as many nnd Just as good ex-college players as any western town that can bo mentioned , and Just as long as all the Interest In football Is centered In two foreign learns , which come here once a year for their annual game , Just so long will Omaha bo without n good team of her own. Now that It Is understood that Iowa and Nebraska have passed us by , we must look to our own players to get up n team of which wo will all bo proud , and which can ably cope with any of the western college teams. Buttc , which had the boat football team In the west this fall , starter out with two players and plenty of spirit. \Vo have the players , but lack the spirit. Tom Howln. whn waa ono of tbo nrleln.il Butte players , stopped off here , his home , on his way to Mexico a few days ago , and M a conversation he said that this talk of the Butte players being paid anything for their services Is all bosh. Charles Clark , who was president and backer of the club , de clared that the lliyt consideration of the makeup of the team should be that no player should receive a cent for his services. Most of the members of the team are Butte ncn , but others have gone to Butte , tried for the team , and on account of their skill and prominence In that line have re ceived very remunerative positions at the hands of the backers of the team. "Yes , the team has Improved , " says Mr. Bowie , "until the two old original players wcro finally frozen out. " And so with Omaha. If the players who are hero would get to gether , there Is plenty of material to make a team that would be will nigh Invincible , and with a good team I am certain that the Omaha enthusiasts would give plenty of support to football. The members of last year's University of Nebraska foot ball team met last week and elected George Shedd as captain for the next year. The selection Is certainly a very geol one , as Mr. Shedd has not only been the most brilliant and reliable player on the team for the past two years , but Its very soul and life. During this tlmo ho played right half. Ho Is a bright , 'cooj- hcaded player , and holds the confidence of the entire team. Mr. Shedd Is only 18 years old. and learned Ills first foot ball on the Ashland High school team , so that ho Is truly a slmon pure Nebraska product , In whom wo can all take a Httlo extra Interest. The easy thing George Dlxon had In ad ministering an anaesthetic to Australian Billy Murphy In Now York Friday night should certainly prove something akin to a black eye to the know-alls , who have all but rele gated the Httlo saddle-colored featherweight king to the "has been" stakes. Murphy was expected to stack up a great light , and the Cincinnati enthusiasts predicted a vic tory for him. but ho proved Httlo better than a lobster. Dlxon put him out In six rounds. This means the lost of Murphy ; but I well recall the tlmo when ho was the best of all of them. In 1890 Billy and Austin Gibbons stopped off here enrouto from 'Frisco to Now York. Ho was a crackcrjack then and no mistake. Ho met his pal. Gibbons , In a six-round setto at thePeople's theater and gave a wonderful exhibition of Iris prowess. Danny Daly and Billy O'Donnoll were both there with the Intention of going on with lilm , but when they saw this little tornado glvo Gibbons smash for smash , they balked , and Jack Murray , a strapping big heavyweight , was cent In to fill the bill. Murphy not only brated , but licked the big bartender In three rounds , punching him off the stage and Into the wings until ho cried peccavl. Prior to this time , out on the coast , shortly after his arrival , ho knocked out such hard game as Iko Wler , Tommy Warren , Johnny Griffon and Frank Murphy. From hero ho went to Chicago , whore ho easily bested Tommy White In four rounds. Ho returned to Auckland , Now Zealand , the following Juno and came back hero In ' 92 , and since then ho has met with anything but remarkable success. All his old victims succeeded in turning tuo tablrn on him. Weir knocked him out In six rounds , while Griffon required but ono more. Then he was bested In limited round affairs by Dlxon , Griffo and Solly Smith. Rvor since Dlxon dressed him down so beautifully In Boston In three rounds Murphy has labored under the hallucination that ho could whip the champion and his overtures and Importuni ties for a fight have been Incessant over since. Ho has been hanging out down In Cincinnati for a year or eo , and , by knockIng - Ing out a small army of haw-eaters , ho In duced some of the Queen City suckers to believe that he was the Murphy ho was In ' 90. So they backed him for 1,000 slmoleons to go twenty rounds with Dlxon the other night. They'll never do It again. Ta ta , MurphI FOniSST , KIiil AMI STJtKAM.

Regarding Omaha's shooting' prospects for the present year , U Is only necessary testate state ono of the biggest trap-shooting meets over attempted In the west will be hold eonio time In May under the management of the Omaha Gun club , and In Juno the Dupont club will glvo Its first big free-for-all tourna ment. By that tlmo this younger body ex pects to be on grounds of Its own. Thcso will bo enclosed with a high board fence , supplied with a commodious club house and all the modern appointments of a first-clam shooting park. These tournaments , together with the regular weekly competitions of the various organizations , nnd the varied sport afforded In tbo field and on the water , will make up such a glorious season as HportD- mon hero have not enjoyed for many a year. While on the aubjcct of trap-shooting the following letter may not coino ainlw : LINCOLN , Neb. . Jan. 13.-S , a. V. Grls- wohl. Sporting Udltor of The Bco : Please note In the columns of your valued sporting department that the Nebraska State Sports man's RFsoclatlon Is fioliiK to have the larg- cat , bent and moat thorough tournament 'In this city next spring cver , given by this honored old Institution. We Intend to add f 1,000 to the regular events , and a faw bun- quoin tossed at u by you through the pop ular old 11 co will bo morn than appreciated. Yours very truly. n. M. Welch , Secretary. A telegram from Cheyenne announces an almost overwhelming Incieaso of gnuo of all kinds , with the rxenptlnn of the buffalo , In thn Yellowstone park. During the spring months the elk range throufthUhc park by thousands. Deer wander through the military post In great numbers , often pacing A few feet from the sentries atit ) men about the garri son. Herds of mountain ! thccp hnd antelope are wintering on Mount Everett nnd show a great Increase In numbers over last year. Coyotes have become * so numerous that the scouts employed nt the pest have been au thorized to kill same of them. A big corral was built lest fall In which It was In tended to enclose n 'portion of the buffalo herd. Only eliht of the herd entered the corral and these -wore allowed to escape , In the hope that a larger number would return. The main herd did'not ' winter In Its usual place nnd has scattered In small bunches over a largo portion of the park. Altogether thcro nro not more than fifty buffaloes left In the park and It Is a doubtful problem whether these can be saved. The forces of nature and the hand of man seem to bo against them nnd their total extinction sccir.s but n question of n short time. Dr. Carver , the great pigeon shot , expects to RO to Now York In April next , nnd will bo willing to shoot three matches against auy- ono for $1,000 a match. During the pnst year thcro was $2,100 paid Into the treasury for the privilege of keep ing dogs within the city limits , Just $ S7,700 short of the receipts nt tbo city treasury In Chicago for the same privilege. The third annual Sportsmen's exposition , under the auspices of the Sportsmen's as sociation , will bo held nt Madison Square Garden , Now York , March 13 to 20. This exhibition "vlll bo Improved over the two pn.'vlous ones held , and will contain much that will be new to the sportsmen. Every manufacturer of goods Intended for the use In field nnd stream will have the very latest product , and all Improvements of goods now In use will bo shown. Many new features will bo added to Interest and amuse the vis itors , and the loan exhibit of prizes , cups , heads , antlers and mounted specimens will bo the most extensive ever exhibited. The exhibition will consist of sportsmen's equip ments nnd appliances , shooting and fly cast ing competition , live specimens of big game animals nnd American gnmo birds. The lira ml American handicap will be held the week following the sportsmen's exposition nnd will be one of the largest pigeon shooting events over attempted In this country. As Is well known , for two or three yearn The Bco has advised a cessation on the part of the State FUh commission In the propa gation of the German carp , and It Is grati fying to note that this advlco has not been wholly unheeded. My calecmed friend , Mr. May , chairman of the commission , disagrees with me on several material points as to carp , but as yet he has never furnished mo with any proof or evidence even that I amen on the wrong side of the argument. On sev eral occasions he has Informed ie that he was going to get up n carp dinner especially for me , at which thla berated flab was to bo wrvcd In a manner that would defy my efforts to detect It from trout or other delicate species of the finny tribe. But Mr. May certainly knows that he cannot do this , and hence the dinner Is still forthcoming. Tin It no ntcn rtrntrtlanil mn or\rti iittinrn t ts\tt o from one or two eminent fish culturlsts who arc faithful bcllovers In the theories ho has advanced nnd firm advocates of the extension and spreading of'this clumsy , coatue , Ichthy- ologlcal hog ; but like-'that dinner these , too , nro yet to show-up. In conclusion , let mp state here , and It Is this alone which has Instigated this brief .screed . , that a bill Is about to be Introduced ! In the Ohio legislature with every assurance .of becoming a law for the absolute extermination of German carp In all the streams nnd lakes of that state. I lived In Ohio some twelve or thirteen yearn ago and advocated then , as I do now , the discontinuance of carp planting , and I am pleased to learn , even at thla late date , that my efforts la this line certainly made an Impression. A Twenty-second Infantryman at Fort Crook writes to know whether raocse ever In habited the.state of Nebraska , also fora de scription of.that animal osriwcll as that of the mUHk-ox. Moose , . I bcllbVe , wcro never found within the confines of this slate , being almost exclusively a timber animal. They nro of very ungainly form and the largest of the deer , family. The head Is long nnd narrow , with eyes small and sunken ; nnse long and flexible and covered with hair , with the exception of a spot between the nos trils ; cars very long and coarse ; antlcn large and spreading , broadly palmated with numerous sharp polnU : neck short and stout and nearly horizontal , higher at the withers than at the lilpy. The meat of the moose Is fine at any season of the year , and es pecially the hump on Ita nose , which part of tlio animal Is highly prized by epicures. They nro to bo found today In the remote wilds of Montana , In Maine , Nova Scotia and the Canadaa. Dr. Galbralth was one of a hunting party who killed a huge bull moose In the Teton Basin , near the hea.l of Snake river , a year ngo , nnd he rate.- ? this above all his numerous experiences in the woods and mountains. . I know little about tbo musk-ox , save that knowledge gleaned from history. I know they are not nearly as large ns the buffalo , ? .nd are a sort of a connecting link between the bovine nnd the ehcep families , having many of the characteristics of both. Under his heavy coat of hair the musk-ox | g covered with a thick sheeting of soft wool of the finest texture and of a light brown color. The horna. which are largo and broad , ore formed somewhat like snow shovels , and nrj used In removing the snow In order to reach their scanty food during * the winter months. The meat of the animal , although coarse-grained , Is generally lulcy and tender , and the peculiar musky llavor Is destroyed to a great extent by Iresslng the ox mi soon as It l killed. The animals' range Is very extensive. They ibound on the northern shores of Greenland , east and west , and on both sides of Smith sound and In Arctic America from latitude CO leg. to S3 deg. north , longitude 07 deg. 30 mln. west to near the Pacific coast. The recent match between Charlie Grimm of Clear Lake , la. , and Dr. Carver of Chicago cage has been much talked of In shooting circles , as It unequivocally made the lowan the champion of America , In spite of all ntllpr pl.lltllR Thnrn nrn nt Innof n .In n .11 * ferent trophies being shot for , off nnd on , > resumably emblematic of the championship , iut they are not. The Grimm-Carver race was a remarkable one , Grimm killing 08 to ho Doctor's 8C. Fred Gilbert , that other Hawkeye crack , seems to be going backward , Instead of ad vancing. His Into work has been but or- linary , and ho no longer ranks up with the Jlliotts , Grimms , Carvers , Parmeleca and Brewers. Ho Is still a good shot , however , and may simply be'hnvlng an off season. The next annual meeting of the American Game , Bird and 4-Tsh Protective association vlll bo held In Kalamazoo , Mich , , on Wednesday , February 10. The association Is doing a wonderful amount of good work , and will receive the 'hearty support of all gun clubs throughout Hie country. The Omaha Gun club may ceiiil on a representative , which would , Indeed , bo a commendable thing. William Lyman , , tie ) Inventor nnd manu facturer of the famous Lyman rifle nnd shot- sun sights , died at'hla homo , In Mlddlcfiold , Jonn. , on December SO. Deceased had been n poor health fen nearly a year , but death resulted from an attack of pneumonia. Mr. Lyman was born lit Juno , 18S1 , and had been nuking patent nights for the past twenty years. Reports from most all parts of this state : onvey the Information that the crop of quail oft over from the ( hooting season Is larger ban over before , and that the late sever * : olil and snow has as yet In nowlso affected h.em. This makes next fall's outlook fine ndecd , and If the Omaha club would sum marily take In hand a number of gunners vho still persist In going after the birds , lotwlthslandlng the close season began Jan uary 1 , the proap cts would bo better yet. A number of theno so-called sportsmen have icon spotted , and It will be well for them to mvo a care. J , H. Ball of I'lnttcfonl precinct , Sarpy county , two or three weeks ago , killed u flno fat U5-pound whltetall deer , a doe , In a patch of timber on the Plattc , The anl- nal was known to bo In the neighborhood all taut fall , and the farmers only waited or the fint snow when they sallied forth o kill It. Ball was the fortunate mane o bag the venison. U seems cruel to think of tbo extermination of thin , the laat of Its kind , but It Is useless to waste senti ment over a matter that was sooner or later Inevitable. Johnny Hnrdln writes me from out In the ftundhllls of a whlto mallard ho saw while shooting with a party of Omnlm hunters on Arkansas lake last October. The bird , In company with n hen , came within seventy- five yards of John's blind , nnd while he got n couple of cracks at It , ho missed , and the bird left the country.

TO Ml OUT OF COIJIIT. Singular AiIniliilNtrnlloii of I.IMV liy n .tllMMlNNltll \ < ! < > ' .Slfllln * . The best story at the last meeting of the Citizens of Bohemia was that of Lawyer S. H. King , late of Mississippi , relates the St. Louis Republic. He told It In n nnlvo nnd refreshingly unconventional manner. His dialect nnd his uniquely pleasant voice added greatly lo Ihe effect. "Over twenty years ago , " ho began , "In the days of reconstrucllon , I was the guest of Uhltcd States Senator Alcorn , better known as Governor Alcorn , at his plantation near Jonestown , Coahoina county , Miss. One morning the governor asked mo to accom pany him to witness a session of a Justice of the peace's court , and I cheerfully consented. We drove In a carriage to the far end of the plantation , where the cabin wns located that constituted the homo of the Justice and the oourt In which ho dispensed the law , ac cording to his notions. The justice wns known as Bob. He was as black as a plcco of broadcloth , had served Iwo terms In the penitentiary , where ho had learned to make Rhocs , nnd ho could neither rend nor write. He hnd only ono leg , but ho was about the proudest and most pompous darkey I ever saw. In character and Intelligence ho was also a fair representative of his kind nt that period. There was n big crowd of negroes at Bob's cabin when wo arrived , It being court day. " 'Bob , ' said Governor Aleorn , ns wo alighted , to the justice , "I have brought this gentleman to ECC you hold court. ' " 'Yes , snh , ' was the reply. TBO shuah glad ter see yo , guv'nor , sab. Wo'sq gwlno tcr Iry some cases drek'ly. ' * "After hobbling about for a few moments the Justice called out : " 'Oh , Mist' Con'sble. Mist' Con'sble ! Git dot dar Jury up fcr do court. ' "Then the colored constable called the Jury In a fearful and wonderful way , nnd the Httlo cabin was soon crowded with black humanity. About this time I remarked to the justice : " 'Gob , see you are calling twenty-four jurors. How Is this , when , under the cede of Mississippi , only six jurors are required In the trial of cases before a Justice of the peace ? ' " 'Well , sab , ' answered Bob , putting on n very wine , air , 'In do circus court dey has twelve , but In dls hcah co't I gln'ly has twenty-fob , sab. But , den , as you an' do guv-nor Is hcah tcrdny , sab , dls court'll Jes ax do cons'ble tcr git up twelve Jes like dey has In do circus court. Oh , Mist' Cons'ble , Mist' Cons'ble , as dcso gcn'lemcn has come hcah terday tcr hcah dls court , .yob cuin'n twelve jurors , like dey does In do circus court. ' "Bob and the constable then went out to gether nnd returned In a short while with the twelve jurymen. Bob took his seat on a dry goods box that did. duty for his rostrum , and In solemn , dignified tones cried : 'Mist' Cons'blo , open do court , ' Court was duly opened and the first case was called. "Tho case was an ordinary suit to recover a sum of fCO , claimed by a merchant to bo owing him by a planter for plows supplied by the merchant , The plaintiff was put on the stand. Ho swore to the correctness of the account , and was asked If ho had any other evidence. Ho said no , and rested his case. As soon as ho had left the stand the defendant stopped forward. Ho was , as I well remember , a flno looking old gentle man , a typical specimen of the old-time planter , with lialr as whlto as snow. Ho hud formerly owned 100 slaves and ho must have been at least 75 years old. Ho quietly asked to be allowed to testify In his own behalf. Judge of his amazement when the court replied : " 'Kurn'l , do court am pow'ful busy ter day , I'so mighty so'y , kurn'l , but yoh ECO do court kaln't help lil e'f. Do blzulz am dat hebby dat do court ain't got no tlmo to hoah yoh sldo of de care , Dls court 'd like mighty well ter 'bilge yoh , kurn'l , but do blznlz am tu on'rous 'amornlnV "And turning to Ills constable the justice cried : 'Cleah do court , gemmen oh du Jury , ' ab wordlck. ' rotlah an' consider yoh "Tho old planter was by this time livid with rage and Indignation. " 'Why , you Infernal black scoundrel , ' ho exclaimed , 'what do you mean ? Do you dare to tell me your court will net let mo testify In my owm case ? ' " 'Now , kuin'l , ' replied the court , In depre catory tones , 'yoh kin see how orful busy dls court am. We've got so many cages , Jen' look at all dem niggers. We Jes' ain't got no tlmo ter hcah yoh. ' "It wna with difficulty wo prevented the planter from drawing hU gun and thootlng the ono-i iifcd Justice. Pn | lly wo to get him away , but the court carried Its point. "When the Jury returned Hob nuked them : 'Gominen ob do Jury , Is yoh 'greed on yoh wcrdlck ? ' " ' No , gah , ' was the response. "Then the court took them In hand , 'All dose dat's In faber ob the plaln'rt stan' ober dah , ' pointing to the right. And eight of the men compiled. " 'Now , nil dose dnt fnbors do kurn'l stan' ober on do IcfV And the remaining four did as requested. "Justice Hob gazed sternly on these four for fully three minutes. Ills cyca scorm-d ready to start from his head. Ho positively shook with wrath. At length ho turned to his assistant : " 'Mist' CoiiB'nble. ' he roared , 'Mist' Con- s'blc , take down do names ob dcse hcah foil nlggnhs. Yoh am dlscharg'd , yoh poll trash. Does yoh hcah me ? Yoh nlggaha ain't neb- her gwlno ter sit as Jurors In dls hcah court ag'ln. ' "As the four men slunk nwny the court once more called on Us olllccr : " 'Mist' Cons'nble. Mist' Cons'blo. go out dnh nn' git me fob udder Jurors wet 'grces wld dis hcah eight men. ' " A pathetic lltllo drama was recently enacted - acted In a French court of Justice. A poor needlewoman was charge , ! with stealing two gold coins from her employer. Her defense was that , while waiting In her enmlnyor'a house , the child In her arms , unknown to her , wna attracted by the sUnt of the glit tering ; gold on the mantel shelf behind her , and , leaning forward over- her shoulder , clutched the coins In Its chubby list , and had so carried them nwny. This she persistently nnd solemnly stated on oath. The oourt , however , was Incraduloua , nnd reproved the mother for her attempt to de ceive him. But she assorted her Innocence with such pathetic power that the sagacious judge determined to test the truth of her statement. Ho bade her stand by his desk with her child facing over her shoulder In the way she had described. Then ho took several gold coins from his .pocket end plnced them on the desk within roa.in of the child. A breathless silence ciuucsl. Every ono awaited the touching sequel. Then uuddcnly the child s eyes caught slBhl of the gleaming gold , nnd , with on eager anille , the tiny baud wns oulslretchcd to the desk nnd the coins were clutched .In Its tenacious grasp. The mother was promptly acquitted. The late E. P. Whlpplo used to tell the story of nufus Choato that once while nd- dressinB n Jury ho several times repented a certnln part of his plea repeating In the same words nnd accent. Certnln that the great advocate hnd some reason for so strange n proceeding a reason not obvious to others Mr. Whlpplo took an opportunity to ask on explanation. Mr. Choate's answer In substance was : "Thero was n numskull on the jury who was paying no attention to what I wns saying ; I would have kept up the repetition until he listened If it had taken the entire day ! " In making a motion for the postpone ment of a case , the attorney suggested that a certain date .be fixed ; unless , ho added , "Your honor will bo full on that day. " "I shall not be , " answered the court In a dig nified tone ; "I'm never full ; you'll always find mo sober. " "What I meant to say , your honor , " interrupted the attorney , "wns ( bo rnlnmlnr will lin full Judge Are you aware of any mitigating circumstances In your case ? Criminal Yes , your honor ; this is the fiftieth tlmo I have been arrested for vag rancy , nnd I thought that pcihaps wo might get up a Httlo jubilee. StllllllN lit (11111 ( Mill. Aug. J.
