Seventeen minutes clipped clean as a whistle off the amateur running rec- ord from New London to Norwich was the sterling performance of E. Clifford Hilton of this city on Chrisimas af- ternoon. Hilton finished the 14 miles in 1 hour 44 minutes without turning a hair, beating out the best previous imateur record of 2 hours 1 minute, made eight or nine years ago by lehurst, and also pre hours flat cred- ited to Sergeant Walsh last April. Hilton’s performance stamps him'as the amateur champion for this part of he state apd sets a mark that is a standing challenge to all the runners hereabouts, and looks good enough to break any but the best of them that g0 after it. After the race Hilton said B. CLIFFORb HILTON, Who Hung up New Running Record, New London to Norwich, I Hour 44 Minutes. he thought it was one of the stiffest courses he ever bucked, for the hills were killers, but he believed he could better the time by several minutes. He finished in splendid form with a sprint like a_guarter miler as he came down along Main street ang Broadway to the Y. M. C. A. association building here. William R. Frisbie, with his automo- bile that made the pace, was right after him, enabling the officials in the machine fo catch the time as he cross- ed the finish line at 3.50. More than a couple of hundred people lined up along the sidewalk showed their in- terest in the sport and cheered the game runner on for his final spurt. To keep his promise with the home orowd to finish at 4 o'clock, the start from the New London Y. M. C. A. was made at 2.06, which was nine minutes ahea@ of the time previously an- nounced. Steve Coffey gave the word and was referee and timer, while Clar- ence Maynard and Sporting Editor Whitney of The Bulletin were the judges. The route out of New London was down State street to Main and out Main to Allyn place, where the turnpike to Norwich was taken. Hil- ton swung along at a beautiful easy gait without any waste motion, as his feet wefe raised only just enough to clear the ground. The few people who were passed at this stage turned around in wonder to look at the bare- legged runner etriding along through the nipping air. He wore regular run- ning pants, shoes without spikes, a , and carried mofst sponges in his hands, with which he occasion- ally moistened his Nps. Hills made little difference to Phe runner and all were taken at the same easy lope, which carried him along at the rate of about 140 to 160 steps per minwte. The miles were reeled off at a pretty regular rate, and Montville was reached in 48 minutes, covering the first 7 1-2 miles at the average rate of 6 2-F minutes to the mile. In the next streteh to the finish, a dis- tance of 6 1-2 miles, the long hills told against speed and this was covered in minutes, an average of a mile iy about 8 $-13 minutes. As the Montville car station was passed Thomas Tuckle, a Montville distance runner, swung into view from the place where he had been keeping | yarm while waiting for the Norwich funner to arrive. Tom was in run- ning togs and tailed in after the Nor- wich man, soon catehing him'and trav- eling along with the Norwich man, Tom’s style was duite @ contrast to the man he was trotting with. Tom had a lot of shoulder and leg swing that was absent from the finished style of the man who was to hang up the champlonship figures. Tuckie kept along with Hilton in good shape up the long grind of hills after Montville was left, but Jim De Wolfe's hill killed him off. Jim shout ed ah encouraging word from his porch as the Tunners swept way up from Moentv had someone out to see the runners. Coming_into Thames square Tuckie was out of sight, but Hilton got a great hand as he swept around the bend and began to reach out for the home port.

Dur- ing the match both men were on the 2o all the time, each trying to get a fall. Several times Murphy broke away from some of Collins’ holds.

The Indfan went right at McGrath and his first hold was the strangle hold but McGrath’s strength proved to be too much. McGrath brought the crowd to their feet when he had the Indian nearly on his back, but the Indian was o ey Y ‘minute go with Bill ” .thTm.!B‘iv see his old record smashed and an in- terested crowd of the local sports thronged into the Y. M. C. A. after the runner. Among tuese was M. B. Ring, who put on the race last Memorial day which was_the first in which Hilton ran here. Mr, Ring put his ear to.the heart and lungs of the runner and de- clared he was sound as a dollar and didn't seem as if he had been doing anything more than a fast walk. In some spots the roads were soft and made traveling bad. A light snow began to fall as Fitch’s Corner was reached, but not enough to Itefle‘re a cold with the footing. “I can tell anyone how to eu: in the head,” said Hilten after he had inished. “Go out and run 14 miles to- away. Both were trying hard for a fall; finally McGrath got a_scissors combination and put the Indian down in just 30 minutes, After the usual rest the men were at it again with the Indian working his famous strangle hold, but to no advantage, Finally McGrath secured his famous combination head scissors and elbow-hold and had the Indian down in 28 minutes, much to the de- light of the crowd. Tuckie finished about 10 minutes af- ter the Norwich man. He ran to Franklin square and went to the hotel to dress. Summary of Time Made.

The fight was evenly contested up to the last round, when Lang forced Fitz to the rope ocked him down with a right hand blow to the jaw, and when he arese sent him to the floor senseless from a right hand uppercut. Fitz had not appeared in the ring in Australia since he left here for the United States many years ago, and when he climbed through the ropes to- day he was given an enthusiastic re- ception. The veteran looked to be in splendid condition after his lang period of preparation for today's fight. The fight opened rather tamely,Lang showing_extreme nervousness. He was freely hooted for holding in the clinches and frequently butting his op- ponent and refusing to break. Fitz, on the contrary. fought cleanly and be came the favorite with the crowd. As the fight progressed Lang regain- ed confidence and forced teh pace, but Fitz cleverly evaded his rushes and frequently landed good blows on the tace and body. In a hot rally in the eleventh round Fitz cut Lang's right eye severely with a left hand punch. When_the twelfth and last round opened Lang rushed Fitz through the ' ropes and floored hi mwith a right hand swing. Fitz took the count of scorer, STURTEVANT HITS THE DUCKS.

Money—Controller of Many Monopolies—No End to His Revenues. b o a al a hi Managua, Nicaragua, Wednesday, Dec. 15.—The magnitude of the per- sonal sacrifice involved in the aver- throw of Zelaya from actual power and possible flight from Nicaragua is shown in the statement that he derives from various monopolies and financial ventures a revenue of $400,000 silver (340,000 United States money) per month. In the buildng in the Champ De Mars, which houses the ministry of war, Ze- laya conducts the monopolies of alco- hol, tobacco, cattle, petroleum, hides, gambling, soap, candles, ice and drugs and lumber for railroad fuel and ties. From these quarters he has also con- trolled the local monopelies existing long the Atlantic coast and covering traffic in aguardiente leaf and manufac- tured tobacco, cocoanut groves, abat- toirs and turtie fisheries. In addition to these he controls the dock privileges at the plers of Corinto, Granada, San Jorge, Monkey Point,San | Miguelisto and EIl Bluff, and the lease of the Natlonal railway and of the Na. tional steamship lines. Through some peculfar framing of the customs laws he also benefits from premiums on the exportation of coffee, lumber, gold, hides and rubber, and from duties of from 10 te 50 per cent. on the importations of all sorts of manufactured articles. Among his.other known Interests are the street cleaning of Managua, done by contract; the sugar refinery of San Antonio; the planing mills and the sale of property to or by the government.

The system is so perfected that no land owner can de- vote his property to raising sugar cane | or tobacco without the authorization of the trusts created and controlled by Zelaya. | On the Atlantic side Zelaya has op- erated through the business house of Lopez & Martinez. Lopez is a cousin of his and is now jafled by the revo- lutionists. Through this house alone he has received profits of five or six thousand dollars American money. The railways and steamers of the country are managed for him by his partner, a Julio Wiest, a Swiss. The contract for the construction of the | railway from San Miguelist to Monkey | Point, which he controls through Wiest, costs the government $20,000 United States money per month. The country has already disbursed $600,000 in the 1ast three years on this line, and but _four miles of rallroad have been built. . The national finances have also been used for his enrichment. The system here has been for Zelaya to underwrite the government bonds at a large dis- count and then to dspise of them to bankers at 50 per cent. profit. It is conservatively estimated that he appropriates 55 per cent, of all cus- toms dues by the simple process of compelling payment of customs dues through compulsory purchase of gov- ernment bonds, of which he only is supplied, and which he sells at 50 per cent. appreciation over par, after hav- 1|ing bought tgem at 40 per cent. dis- count from par.

Zelaya maintains a special office for the discounting of salaries of state em- plog paying them 70 per cent. of their claims and retaining 30 per cent. commissions. To render this effective, the treasury is maintained always in an_empty condition. Each governor of department (prov- ince) has the exclusive privilefe of traffic in aguardiente and the licensing of games of chance, and are compell- ed to turn into Zelaya 50 per cent. of the proceeds.
