Pedigrees Date Back -to Tradition Revival of Wonderful Breed Hoped For. ST. LOUIS, Mo., March Again the Arab horse the steed that carries the barbaric warriors of the African desert, the animal whose beautiful equine perfection has been chiseled in marble by the ancient Grecian sculptors and transferred to canvas by the genius of the old master of Rome; the horse of ancient mythology and the source of Inspiration for sons and story of poets of all ages; the horse that is enveloped In & veil of Oriental mystery and romance again. It can be said, the Arab horse tep proudly to the front In the horse world of America, and this time under auspices so favorable as to predict the long-defeired recognition due him in the Occident. The Arab horse Is to be prominently exploited In the Live Stock Department of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Already President Francis has In his private stable on the world's fair ground's the only pure-bred Barb upon the American continent a present sent fclm several months ago by the. Sultan of Morocco. There are now en route for display at the fair sfx Moorish stallions from that mysterious monarch of the African desert kingdom, and they are raid to be the finest types of Arabs and Barbs, whose pedigrees have been religiously kept by the old Sheiks of the Sahara tribes. One of these Is a pure milk whitestallion from the Sultan's private stable, sent as a present to President Roosevelt. But a well-organized movement is on foot to bring about a recrudescence of the Arab horse In America. - The" recent formation of the Arabian Horse Breeders' Association in New York Is for the purpose of reviving Interest In the horse of the desert by bringing him into prominence at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in so emphatic a manner that his standing and worth for breeding purposes will forever remain undisputed In this country. "Working in harmony with this association and fully recognizing the merit of the movement. Chief F. D. Coburn and Secretary Charles F. Mills, of the live stock department of the fair; have established a class for Arabian horses and AmericoArabs in the horse division anil prizes and diplomas will be awarded by the most competent Judges to be obtained. Besides the pure-bred Arabs from foreign lands there will be many tine animals of the AmerigoArab type, which is a product from native American mares by Arabs or Barbs. HIS ORIGIN LOST IN TRADITION The origin of the Arab horse is lost in the mists of tradition. Aftsr the most diligent research of expert scientists and horse fanciers, it is generally admitted that .the Arabian horse was bred by the wild tribe? of "Western Asia. Of these barbaric hordes the Anazeth tribe is known to have "the best horses. Pedigrees are traced and none Is considered pure except from a Kehelletj or pure mare, and a .Keheilan, or pure sire. The Keheilet Ajuz family is considered the choicest. Horses were brought to America by the Spaniards under De Soto, and those they left behind became wild on the prairies of Texas and Mexico and known a the mustang, which, through the mixture of such scrubs, is nov degenerated into the modern bronchol . One hundred years after this country was Krttled bv the English the neonlo. of Great

Britain were importing many ' Arabian horses to their island, some of the best descendants of which were brought to Virginia and New York. Also a few direct importations of Arab blood were made by the colonists. From these strains' have grown, the English and American moroughbred, trained for generations to run at a high rate of speed tor abhört distance. The thoroughbred has lost many of the qualities of his Arab progenitors and he now forms a class by himself. Similarly the trotting horse of America Is largely the outcome of the Arab blood. The present development of revival of the Arab horse in America began when' the Sultan of Turkey presented to General Grant the two stallions. Leopard antt Linden Tree. Randolph Huntingdon was the lirst to breed them and -later he imported the Arab mare. Naomi, and her daughter,. Nazll. and the stallion Nlmr. From these, by Judiefous breeding. .Jie has established "a family of pure Arab hordes that are svifproducing and uniform in type nhd from fifteen to sixteen hands high. During the Chicago world fair the Russian government sent several pure Aran horses for exhibition and some remained In this country. . Iure Arabs have al30 been imported by Xlden, Swan, of New York, and Mr. Heyl.. of Milwaukee. t . - ' . REVIVAL OF HIS KIND IN SIGHT. These efforts to exploit the Oriental blood and type In America have not always met with the greatest success, but now the organization of the Arabian-Horse. Breeders' Association and the, exploitation at the world's fair seem to assure splendid results. The officers of this new association are: President, Spencer Borden, Fall River, Mass.; vice president, Herman Hoopes, Philadelphia; secretary and treasurer. Col. C. A. Benton. New York; executive committee, Randolph Huntington, Oyster Bay, L. I.; Dr. John B. Hall, Toronto. Can.; J. A. I. Ramsdell. Newburgh. N. Y.; Alden S. Swan. Homer Davenport and II. K. Bush-Brown, ail of New York city. The. characteristics 'of the Arabian horse are-intelligence and gentleness .in disposi lion, ana compactness ana beauty of proportion. He has great endurance and can rear hardships with poor fare. He is suited for a' genera! purpose horse for saddle or harness, and is also a heavy weight carrier.. He matures at five years of age but should bf broken to light work as a yearling. He should always te treated with kindness, as he quickly resents ill treatment and harsh , ...1 1 0 . L . . .

March IX Persistent rumors emanating from sources calculated to oirry considerable weight have be?n heard here connecting Edward Corrigan, the wellknown turf magnate, with tho building of new race ' tracks in various parts of the country. Owing to the fact that Mr. Corrigan lias refused to discuss any phase of the subject when asked point blank alout statement connecting him with a proposed nw racing plant for San Francisco, the nJw Fnion Jockey Club's so-called outlaw course in St. Iuis, the proposed new track In New Orleans, several horsemen who take an intieat in turf. matters outide of their rtruggh for stakes and purnes, have talen the silence of the master of Hawthorne to mean that there must be some truth in the rumurs.

In the Eighth Round t Sullivan Knocked Flood Out with . Terrific Swing. NEW YORK. March ID. John Flood, who fought John L. Sullfvan twenty-five ears ago and gave the man who was then champion of the world one- of the hardest contests of his career, Is dead. Flood and Sullivan fought eight vicious rounds with bare knuckles on May" 16, 1&S1. before a large crowd of sports, on a barge which had been towed "up the Hudson river opposite Yonkers. ' In the eighth round Sujlivan gave Flood one of . his terrible right-hmd swings, for which he' afterward became famous, and

the latter was carried unconscious from the rlnsr. It was thought then that Flood would die, so terrible were his injuries, and after he recovered he declared he would never right again. He keDt his word. At the time of his death he was captain of the Twenty-first election district of the Twentieth Assembly district, and had many friends among Tammany politicians. The fight with Flood was the first one of Importance that John L. Sullivan engaged ia at the beginning of hl3 career. Flood was twenty-six years old at the time, and had been defeating all the local heavyweight boxers In New York" city. He was a very powerful man, and was considered a good match for Sullivan, who was then beginning to show championship form. "Bob" Smith was Flood's manager then and "Billy" Madden was training Sullivan. The two managers met in April, 1SS1, and arranged the fight to be pulled off on the barge, which was procured by William H. Borst, who' offered a purse of $1,000. Both men were in prime condition when they boarded the barge at New York and were pulled up the-river. A crowd of 5u0 men were on the barge, but the whole thing was conducted so quietly that the police did not get wind of the affair until it was over. Flood and Sullivan each weighed In the neighborhood of ISO pounds when they entered the ring. Flood was seconded by Barney Aaron and Door.ey Harris, and Sullivan by "Joe" Goss and "Billy" Madden. As soon as the first round had begun It was seen that the light was to be a fierce one. In the third round Flood was sent down for six seconds by the champion and his quick defeat was predicted by the. spectators. He surprised them, however, by making a grand rally in the fourth round and driving Sullivan aTound the ring by ery last lighting. Sullivan showed some distress at the end of the round and Flood's stock boomed considerably. In the sixth round, however. Flood was flpored again and he was very weak in the seventh. The eighth .and last round -was the fiercest of them all. The men swayed back and forth" while exchanging swings that would almost have felled an ox, and finally Flood fell on his face unconscious from one of Sullivan's swings on the jaw. Flood. was knocked put for more than five minutes. When he' regained his senses he attributed his defeat to having eaten too hearty a supper. He was in a pitiable condition and had put up such a game fight that the spectators" contributed a purse of $fS to him; Sullivan giving $10. Of the $1,01)0 purse Flood also received $250. Flood' left the ring forever. His ambition had been to be champion of the world, but after his right with Sullivan he realized he could never attain that prominence while the latter was in the ring. With the money he obtained-from the fight he opened a small hotel In East Twenty-third street and kept it for five years. Then he went into politics and was put on the general committee of Tammany Hall. At the time of his death he was employed by Fiss, Dorr &. Carroll, horse dealers, in East Twenty-fourth street, as a private eletectlve. He had many friends among the old-time pugilists, and was also sl friend of Charles F. Murphy, Tammany leader. Mrs. Margaret Flood, his widow, 'and his children, John, aged sixteen; Mary, fourteen; Margaret, eight, and William, one year old, survive. x COLLEGEr BOXING. - - . Cornell the Latest University to Talie Up the Manly Art. PHILADELPHIA, March ID. The managers of the University of Pennsylvania Sparring and Wrestling Club yesterday received a letter from J. B. Wilson, of Cornell, asking for the constitution of the Pennsylvania Club in order to form a club at Cornell on the same lines. Since the University of Pennsylvania took up these sports there seems to be a more general interest among college men In boxing and In wrestling, and nearly all of the larger Institutions have formed clubs or rejuvenated their old organizations. Letters have been sent out- by Pennsylvania to all of the universities, asking them to join in an intercollegiate league for the purpose of annually .holding a, tournament in these sports. There has not yet been time to receive replies, but the attitude of Columbia and Yale is known to be favorable for such a movement, and it is almost certain that the league will be;" formed In the near future, although .the holding of a tournament this Scar may not be possible. The University of Pennsylvania Club is in a very presperous condition, and the members are meeting twice a week for instruction, while there are numerous bouts out of the regular hours, though all are under regulation of the club, which insists that the contests must be of a practice nature and forbids the settling of differences in the clubroom. Dr. J. K. Shell is the instructor in wrestling and Robert Colbert in boxing, and their pupils, most of whom previously had no . knowledge, are making great progress. There are now several good men at every weight in boxing, but in wrestling, the best men are heavy-weights, though' there are one or , two clever lightweights. COLONIAL GIRL MAY DEFEAT M'CHESNEY MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 10. More -than onerfourth of the nominations for'the $ö0 World's Fair handicap to be run .at St. Louis are lrr training here, and all the owners are pleased with Handicapper Vosburg's assignments. C. E. Rowe the former jockey, who Is represented by Colonial Girl, said that -should McChesney start with his impost of 12S pounds he would wager any kind of reasonable money that Colonial Girl would beat Kim to the wire with her assignment of JO -pounds. C. R. Ellison, the plunger, who owns Judge Hirnes, and his trainer. J. p. Mayberry, were contented with the 1C pounds given to their candidate. Ellison said: "I paid $T! to enter Judge Himes and will pay more to start him in the race. It looks like a cheap investment for me, and I have no kick coming with. his weight." Jin'ge Ulmes was given his first gallop on the track on the day the weights were announced. The big colt th.it won the Kentucky Derby and Hawthorne handicap last year has been turned out all winter and was recejitly punch tired. Trainer Maybcrry will give him a careful preparation for the Si. Luis feature. S. C. Hildreth with Witful. J. Cahn with Terra Firma. John Fay with Ed Tierney. Ed Corrigan with McGeo. J. W. Schorr with. Injunction. C E. Mahone with IVinter. were others with candidates in the World's Fair handicap who expressed themselves pleased with Mn. Voshurg's figures and weights, and It is likely that the announcement w is accompanied by fewer kicks than greeted any handicap that has been announced here in maru- kcasou.

ODD STORIES OF PRIZE RING TOLD BY TWO GOOD FIGHTERS

Johnny Regan and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien Relate Adventives with Gloves O'Brien Studied Boxing

Fighters can relate many experiences well worth hearing. -Johnny Regan and Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien, who have both fought nearly a hundred fights, talked "shop" for awhile here, says a St. Louis exchange. "I suppose you never heard about the time I was to meet 'Young Corbett for the featherweight championship?" said Regan. "My home is in Brooklyn, and there Is not a place on the Bowery or in Chinatown or Coney Island where I am not perfectly at home and have plenty of friends. Well, I was not fighting any too often several years ago and was at my home In Brooklyn. It was soon after 'Young Corbetf had put Terry McGovern out in two rounds at Hartford, Conn., and won the featherweight championship. Jack McKenria floated into town about that time with Abe Attell, Sam Harris, McGovern's manager, was also in town and crazy to get a match for Attell. 'About that time McKenna and Harris began to knock each other and I got interested. Finally, Tim Sullivan, who is 'it.' called Harris up before him one day and asked what all the. trouble was about. Harris replied that McKenna was trying to get a loser's end by matching .Attell with McGovern and beat Terryk out of a return match. McGovern Is almost worshiped by his Eastern friends and Sullivan told Harris that he would attend to the matter all right. He then sent for McKenna, with the evident purpose of telling him to stop trving to interfere with McGovern or gef out of town. Sullivan asked McKenna what was the. trouble between Harris and himself. McKenna told him there .was no trouble. Sullivan asked him what he was knocking Hai'ris for. , " 'Because I need the money,' McKenna replied, 'lie has plenty of money and so has McGovern. AU I want Is to get on a fight and get a chance to make some.' Sullivan told him that was pretty good logic and he would not Interfere, and to go ahead and get a match If he could. Corbett promised McKenna that he Would give Attell the first chance at him. When I saw- how McKenna had bested Harris 1 instantly strung with McKenna. 'Attell Is no good,' I told him, 'and if Corbett meets him there will be murder. 1 wanted to put on the gloves with Attell just to show -him up before Jack. He would not allow us, however, and never willingly let us box together until the time we met at the West End Club several months ago before a $6,oX house. Well, tinally Corbett went out to Denver. McKenna managed to scrape together three tickets, and went right after him. When we reached Denver, Corbett told Jack that he did not like Attell and would not meet him, but was willing to take me on. Jack consented, as Corbett was not nearjy as heavy then as he h? now." I started training for the fight, and at that time, considering that most .everybody thought Corbett was not much of a fighter and had bested McGovern by a fluke. I thought I had a good chance to win. 1 don't know whether It was lucky or unlucky for me, but the police interfered and stopped the boxing game in Denver before the bout took place. Attell is right after Corbett all the time, now for a match, and when we were out In Denver thought he was the boy that was going to meet Corbett,- Init he wasn't. "When Attell was In New York some time ago; when he was matched to fight Terry McGovern. he went to a theater one day and tried to get passed through. 'Who are you?' said the ticket collector. 'Abe Attell.' he answeretl. I never ' heard of him," said the doorkeeper. 'I am going to fight Terry McGovern.' said Abe in a dignified tone. Well. If you are nervy enough to think you have any char.ee with McGovern. I suppose we will have to let. you through.' said the doorman, and the crowd tittered, but Abe did not mind. "Brooklyn is certainly a great place." said Regan. "I had some of tho funniest lights there and have to laugh w hen I think of them. I remember one night I was fighting a fellow with quite a renutation. and who was considerably heavier. During the first part of the fight I did -considerable mix In sr with him. but he could hit like a plledrlver. so I saw that plan would never lo when I was almost out. Then I started staying away from my opponent. JabMng him with my left continually. I kvpt shooting my left at him steadily and I saw he was getting madder each minute. I was all out. and I expected momentarily for him to get by my guard and put me down. He made a rush at me and I sent his head back, and what do you think the fellow did? He stops still for a second, looks at nie," and then turns to the referee and says: I can't hit that fellow.' and walked to his corner, pulls off the gloves and jumps out

of the rinsr. Well, if ever I felt happy and surprised I did then. "Stil!. I had hard lue.k previously to that. I waS only a 'kid at the time, but was ambitious. I found a boy of my own weight and we agreed to light. We had som" tickets "printed, and one Sunday pitched a ring in an Inclosed vacant lot and started at it. We had so'd enough tickets between us to brine the total purse to a considerable fiRure. Well, we started after each other in the dirt rirfg with skin-tight glove. My left hand was then, as well as now. my main reliance. This f How had a counter for my left down .to perfection, however. Every time I wo..M lead with my left he wonld slip the b.ow and nearly cave in my ribs with his right. He kept doing his until I did not know whether I was dead or alive. "The bout was to have been a ten-round affair. In the tenth round he slipped my left, but I whipped my right up to his chin und cauzht him coming in with his right 7

NEW YORK. March 19. Sam Harris, manager of Terry McGovern, believes he has another champion fighter under his care

and is now trying to arrange a match between Hughey MqGovern, brother of the "Terrible Terry," and Frankie. Nell. . the bantam champion, for a twenty-round battle for the title held by Neil. If the contest is arranged it will no doubt take place In San Francisco-. McGovern has been fighting for over two years, beginning at the bottom of the ladder and gradually working his way toward the top. He showed Improvement In every battle and .was quick to take advantage of the experience he got in the .ring. Harris and Terry McGovern have watched the rise of Hughey with great interest and when the latter fought with Love In Philadelphia recently Harris was at the - ringside. Hughey made such a wonderful showing against the clever Philadelphia lad that Harris decided to try and arrange a match for him with Frankie Neil. Harris contemplates taking a trip West with Jeffries and his party for recreation and while in California will offer to post a big side bet for a meeting between Hughey McGovern and Nell. He believes that Hughey Is now the equal of his brother in cleverness and within a few months will acquire great punching power. If Hughey should beat Neil he will then go after 'the little featherweights. counter with all his weight behind it. He went down and was out. The referee counted six, but just then. somebody yelled 'police,' and everybody made their getaway, and I was eleprived of one of my knock-out victories. I did not care for" that at that moment, however. A big policeman was coming at me across the ring. I was covered with mud as the result of falling In the slop made, by the water my seconds threw on me when going to my corner, and knew I would be a hard customer to handle. Well, anyway, I waited until he Just reached for me, and then worked the side step on him and was under the ropes before he recovered himself. I was not out of it j'ct, however, as another policeman was coming directly toward me and the first one was not many feet behind. I planned on running straight at the one in front of me and bowling him over, but just as I reached him he thought I was going to dodge and stepped to one side, and then slipped in the mud and fell. I was only a youngster and thought if thy caught me fighting they might hang me, so I ran like a jdeer down the main street, clad only in my fighting .tights and shoes and the gloves. 1 was covered with mud and blood and must certainly have presented an amusing sight as I sprinted down the crowded street that Sunday afternoon with two big policemen in hot pursuit about a block behind me. I shot through one house and threw the occupajits into a fit. I was tired as a result of the fight and finally turned Into a friend's house and did not stop until I crawled under a bed. Remember, I was a fighter who a few minutes before had commanded the admiration of several hundred people afid had just knocked my opponent out. The two policemen saw me enter the house and aftej- a few minutes' search found me. Nothing terrible resulted and I was released on bond as soon -as I reached the station house. "The next morning. I appeared in court. The judge asked me what I was fighting for -and creating a disturbance by running down a street without any clothes on. I told him that my opponent and myself had some differences and thought we would settle them In a scientific manner and not by an ungentlemanly street fight. The judge, who was a good -fellow, looked stern for a minute, and 1 expected a heavy fine. Finally he asked for a few details of the fight, and after he heard how I had put my opponent down said: 'You must be pretty "good" with your hands. You made one mistake, however. The next time you have any differences to settle with a friend go before some legitimate club, where you will be paid for the bout. You are discharged.' " "Philadelphia"' Jack O'Brien makes friends wherever he goes'. He has shown" that he Is a business man and is a practicing lawyer when the fighting business gets dull. He has made a study of pugilism just as he would for law. "When I started In the fighting game I decided to make a success of lt. I would have to give it the same study and go about it as systematically as I would to fit myself for any other business." said O'Brien. "I figured out my .weak points and set about remedying them. Then when I had what I thought to be an Important fight on I always studied out the best way to defeat my., man before L went into the ring. I regulated my training for the kind of a fight I wanted to put up. In trainim? for my fight with Shreck I knew strength or punching power would-not win for me, but speed would. Consequently all my work was aimed to produce quickness. I did a great lot of shadow boxing and when I punched the bag made it fly. .In tho gymnasium the boys I boxed with all came at me a-s fast as they could." It was what Iwanted, as it would quicken. my eye and my guard, and they knew I would not hurt them. Even in my road work I took sprints every short distance. "I got started right and hav never stopped' or met any serious reveree since. One of the first men I met was a boy name-d Isador Strauss. The first time we met I believe he gave me one of the hardest fights of my career. We drew it) six rounds, but he broke his hand on me, and we both took a terrible beating. My good condition is all that saved me from a defeat. I met him twice afterward, and got the decision over him both times in six-round bouts, but he certainly gave me a tussje the first time we met. I' don't think Bob Fitzsimmons. Jim Corbett or any of the old guard will fight any more, so I don't think I will be called upon to meet them in the rihg, although 1 have no doubt but I would win. Wait until I meet Tcnimy Ryan on the coast, however. 1 expect to ign articles with him for a twenty-round bout at 'Frisco bejore long, and then watch put. I will be in that perfect condition I was speaking about. 'Foxy' Tommy will need all his tricks to keep from going down and out then, and I have no. doubt in tho world but that I will beat him." O'Brien is a clever, scientific fighter, with brains. .Tommy Ryan is the same kind of a man. and as 0'Irien says, watch out for a great fight when the pair meet in a twenty-round bout. The six-round bout between the two was no criterion of either man's ability, but It was. long enough to make it -plain what kind .of a battle the men will put up when they meet in a twenty-round contest. There is a great -deal of luck in the prize ring, but O'Brien's ease shows that there is monvy for the man who has the physique necessary for a lighter, and who has any liking for the game, and who Is willing to apply himself and make a study of it as OTJrien has. O'Brien has a considerable fortune, owns property in Philadelphia and has traveled on the continent. "The flshting game is not a' bad business if you .make a success of it, but a very bad business If you fail." ald O'Brien, and he was risht. A third or fourth-rat-e pugilist does not make a living fighting half the time, and before long generally goes to the bad entirely. The odds, too. are tremendously against a man becoming a champion In his class, but "if he's a success he's a big success, and if a failure, u bad one," said Jack.

March 13 Scott Hudsprf expects Gail Hamilton, winner of the Hartford Futurity Kentucky Stakes and De Soto purse in I9"'2. when she made a three-year-old record of 2:U, to bo tfce. Hawthorne of his great stabM this year. The famous daughter of Oakland Baron was handled and driven slowly but steadily by her'noted trainer last year, who had no Intention of racing her. as he really laid her over for this season, so that she would be In the best condition for racing as a five-year-old. She Is eligible to ail the big 2:12 class races this season, and. having wintered in 'the best possible fettle, she looks like a prospect in races of her class fully as 'promising as her stable companion. Hajwthtrne, 2:'J0U. was in 1903. Gail Hamilton bids fair to ultimately far overshadow Nclla Jay, 2:141i. which filly defeated her In the three-year-o!d Kentucky Futurity, as it Is stated upon good authority that It Is questionable about tho latter appearing on the track again, she having developed a vicious temper In harness, which makes it risky to ever drive her. in training, to say nothing of attempting to start her In a race.
