ENGLISH DERBY.-Run June 3, 1902. Won by J. Gubbins' brown colt Ard Patrick, 100 to 14, by St. Florian-Morganette. Col. H. McCalmont's bay colt Rising Glass, 40 to 1, by Isinglass-Hautesse, was second, and the Duke of Portland's brown colt, Friar Tuck, 100 to 7, by Friar's Balsam, dam by Galopin-Substitute, third. Eighteen horses ran. Sceptre, the strong favorite, finished fourth. The race was run at Epsom Downs. "Skeets" Martin, an American Jockey, rode the winner. McCall rode the place horse and Cannon the third. The time was 2:42 1-5. Distance, mile and 4 furlongs. "Skeets" Martin is the second American Jockey to win the classic in 122 years. Only twice have foreign bred horses carried off the honors, one of which was Iroquois, Pierre Lorillard's American bred colt. In 1865 a French horse, Gladiateur, won the Derby, the two thousand guineas and the St. Ledger. Before the race Owner Siever was offered $210,000 for Sceptre, who seemed to have the event cinched. He held a ticket calling for $300,000 and was offered $200,000 for it one day before the race was run off. Ard Patrick was bred in Ireland at Limerick. His owner M. Gubbins won the Derby, the two thousand guineas and the St. Ledger with Galtee More. Mr. Calmont, who won place with Rising Glass, won the Derby, the two thousand and the St. Ledger with Isinglass, sire of Rising Glass. 30 to 1 40 to 1 12 to 1 6 to 1 20 to 1 12 to 1 15 to 1 Carbuncle, 108 (J. Woods). The classic Suburban handicap run at Sheepshead Bay, Saturday, June 14, was won by C. H. McLewel's 4-year-old brown colt, Gold Heels, 3 to 1, the favorite. Wonderly rode the winner. There were eleven starters. The distance was a mile and a quarter and the race was run in 2:05 1-5, a new Suburban record. The chart of the big race follows: Fourth race, The Suburban, a handicap for 3-year-olds and upward. St. Pl. St. Pl. Horses and jockeys.

The St. Louis Derby was won by Barney Schreiber's Foul Shot or Sain-Laura Agnes, brown colt, Otis. The race was worth $13,000 to the winner. It was run as follows: Fourth race the St. Louis Derby, a sweepstakes for 3year-olds, 11⁄2 miles-Otis, 119 pounds [Singleton], 15 to 1, won first by one length; Little Scout, 119 (Coburn], 5 to 1, second by a nose; Terra Firma, 119 [Dominick], even, third by a neck.

PRIZE RING RECORDS OF CHAMPIONS.May 21st James Jeffries, champion of the world, a heavyweight, was matched with Robert Fitzsimmons to fight 20 rounds, Marquis of Queensberry rules. The principals agreed upon Edward M. Graney as referee. Soft bandages were allowed. The men split their share of the gate 60 and 40. Each man put up a forfeit of $2,500 to the San Francisco Athletic club's $5,000. The fight will take place in Mechanic's pavilion, July 25th, in San Francisco. Jeffries trains at Harbin Springs, Cal.; Fitzsimmons at Skaggs Springs, Cal. James J. Jeffries was born in Carroll, Ohio, 1875. He stands 6 feet one and a half inches in height; weight, round 230 to 240 pounds. In condition, 220. Color, white. II Robert Fitzsimmons was born in Elston, Cornwall, Eng., June 4th, 1862. Celebrated his 40th birthday on June 4th last. Height, 5 feet 1134 inches. Weight, 170. Color, white. Jim Jeffries won the championship from Bob Fitzsimmons, knockout, rounds, Coney Island, N. Y., June 9th, 1899. Fitzsimmons had previously won the title from James J. Corbett in Carson City, in 14 rounds, knockout, solar plexus punch, on March 17th, 1897. The attitude of the National league leaders is, that while they are willing to compromise with the American league they insist that the deal be made not with Ban Johnson but with leaders among the magnates of the American league. It is regarded as a move to shelve Ban Johnson and lessen his power in the American league, and is viewed now as a fight between Johnson personally and the National league. BASEBALL.-During the past month affairs in baseball have quieted down on the surface at least. Napoleon Lajoie, second baseman, was prepared to obey the dictates of the Pennsylvania supreme court and return to play under the management of the Philadelphia National league club. No agreement could be arrived at over salary with Col. Rogers, part owner of that club. Lajoie then rejoined the American league, going to Cleveland, where 10,000 people are reported to have witnessed his first game with that team, which game Cleveland won from Boston 4 to 3. It is said his salary will be $10,000 a year for five years. Magnates of the National league met in New York. The meeting was presumably to discuss the present situation in the baseball war. There were rumors of attempts to steal back certain stars which the American league had engaged out of National league ranks, which included Isbell of the White Stockings for Selee's Chicago National league club. Jumpers settled down and there were few desertions during the past month. Louisville In the war between the two big leagues, American and National leagues, President Ban Johnson of the former organization has announced that he stands and has stood in friendly attitude toward a compromise. He has formally announced, also, that unless the National league is willing to take this step the American league will deal them a blow more severe than any they have experienced from this quarter.

Mrs. A. W. Goodrich had next best TELEGRAPH, THE NEW RAPID AUTOMATIC. In the past few years many efforts have been made to increase the speed of operation of land and ocean telegraphy in order that economy of transmission might be improved. The field of telegraphy may be roughly divided into two classes. The first includes those systems which employ overhead conductors of small electrostatic capacity and unlimited possibilities in the way of speed, while the second comprises a large proportion of underground and submarine cable in which the capacity is large and the speed correspondingly small on account of the time needed to charge the cable. Among the most brilliant of recent inventions was that of Professor Pupin who has succeeded in greatly reducing the effect of capacity in cables. In the development of rapid telegraphy in this country and abroad a prominent and interesting figure is Mr. P. B. Delaney, who has recently achieved remarkable success in this direction. He has succeeded in transmitting over a short experimental line as many as eight thousand words per minute, while speeds of from six hundred to eight hundre l words per minute are easily maintained over lines hundreds of miles in length. Mr. Delaney was born in Ireland in 1845. He came to this country at an early age and soon became interested in telegraph matters as a practical operator. His attention was attracted in a more or less accidental manner to a scheme of multiplex telegraphy which its inventor had practically abandoned. By means of persistence and originality this multiplex system was brought to a successful commercial state and it was put upon the market. Its merits were appreciated by the British government which adopted it and it is now working practically on a large scale in Great Britain, as well as in Germany. This multiplex system has nothing in common with the later high-speed work, but it is so simple and effective that it fitly introduces the later developments. In the multiplex system, the instruments of several pairs of operators are successively connected to the line for a fraction of a second at a time. In this way the various pairs of operators really use the line in turn, but the intervals are so short and the impulses come to each instrument so rapidly that the inertia of the instruments absorbs the impulses and produces per fectly smooth operation. Several pairs of operators can thus use a single wire independently, the limit at the present time being six, or a total of twelve operators. Three messages may be going in each direction or all six in one direction. In fact, any combination of directions of the six messages is possible. The regular Morse system of signals may be employed, the letters being formed by combinations of short, long and extra long contacts of a key in each circuit. Connection is made between the line and the various operating circuits by means of rotating contact strips which bear on metallic segments carried on a disc made of insulating material. The essential feature of operation is that the contact brushes at the two ends of the line must rotate at exactly the same speed in order that the same operators may be connected together continuously. When running in this manner the rotating parts are said to be "synchronized." Each is driven by an ingenious mechanism and synchronism is maintained by means of regulating tuning forks, these devices being the subjects of numerous patents. After bringing this system to a commercial status Mr. Delaney turned his attention to another field, that of sending messages at a high rate of speed from a single machine. Among the earliest successful devices was one which was used to operate the familiar siphon recorder at the highest rate of speed at which that instrument will respond to impulses sent through the circuit. This recorder, which has been long used in cable work, consists of a capillary glass pen, which is oscillated in either direction from a normal position by a simple electromagnetic mechanism. The pen traces a wavy line on a strip of paper which is drawn continuously under it. The sending apparatus consists of two essential parts. 1. A perforator or punch which is used to prepare a strip of paper as shown in Fig. 1. A hole on one side of the center Each man put up a forfeit of $2,500 to the San Francisco Athletic club's $5,000.
