A bill to provide for the construction of a building for the Patent Office of the United States, including a hall of inventions, has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Daniel. The bill provides that a fireproof building for the use and accommoda- tion of the Patent Office of the United States, including a hall of inventions, and for such other purposes as Con- gress may direct, shall be erected east between East Capitol and B streets north and First and Sec- ond streets, on the nlats, of ground numbered 726, 727.and 728. So much of A street and Marviand ivenue and of all such alleys as are now embraced in such area shall be comprehended in the NEW | site of said builiding. "The acquisition and preparaticn of the site and the construction of said buildings shall be in charge of a commission composed of the Secretary of the Interior, the Com- mijssioner of Patents, the First ‘Assist- ant Secretary of the Interior, the su- perintendent of the library of Congress and the superintendent of the Capitol, to be known.as the Commissioners of the Patent Office. The Secretary of the Interior shall be president of the com- mission. a The Commiesioners shall $ay for the site proposed not more than $600,000, and if they.eannot purchass all parcels composing the site for prices not ex- ceeding a bproper proportion-“of the $600,000 they shall enter condemnation proceedings in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for acquiring the balance of the land.

Y _—é‘_———— .__._—_._._—_— 7 SPORTS OF THE RACE TRACK, THE POLO FIELD AND THE RING 'TOMMY BURNS DONS THE SILK AND WINS FIRST TIME OUT Pilots Royal Rogue in the Handicap at Ingleside and in a Hair-Raising Finish Defeats Bullman on Beau Or- ‘monde by a Nose—Epicure Too Speedy fo o L As a curtain raiser, marking his first appearance this season, Tommy Burns rode a finish on James Nealon's horse Royal Rogue in the six and a half fur- long handicap at Ingleside yesterday that caused numerous spectators to be seized with attacks of heart failure, vertigo, spinal meningitis, lambitis and sundry other diseases. Originally Otto Wonderly was card- | ed to ride the Nealon entry, but that rider could not do 105 pounds, so the services of Burns were engaged. When the betting began there was a terrific plunge on Rogue, sending him to the post equal favorite with the top weight, Beau Ormonde, with Bull-| man up. At the start Royal Rogue was slow to get in motion, but Burns slipped along on the rail into third position, just behind the dacemakers, Muresca and Beau Ormonde. BURNS IS POCKETED. Burns waited patiently for an open- ing on the rail, but it did not come, and at the head of the stretch he found himself pocketed. Taking his mount back, he intended to g0 @round the leaders, but just then BooKer, on Muresca, lay over from the rall, when quick as a gopher dives into his hole Burns was there with Rogue. Then ensued a terrific drive to the wire, Royal Rogue getting the decision by a nose from Beau Ormonde. Mu- resca dropped back beaten and Arabo took the show. When Burns came out from the paddock the crowd gave him a hearty welcome and after his superb finish it swelled to the proportions of an ovation. No better card could be desired for an ordinary day than the cne fur- nished, and as four favorites won the talent got the money. The weather was cloudy and threatening. The track was good. but not fast. Four to five against Constellator in the betting on the opening sprint looked a liberal price. Hildebrand had the mount and the Brutus gelding won all the way. Evander, afier being thc runner up for quite a way, fell back and Dora I downed Bee Rosewater for the place. LORD WADSWORTH IS CLEVER. Garnet Ferguson's colt Lord Wads- | worth took” the maiden two-year-o purse. The youngster closed favorite over Ebony and outbreaking his fied at the start was never in difficulty. Ebony came from behind under Hild, brand’s urging, beating out Andrew B. Cook for place honors. Dupont, the Green the mile and a furlong selling run, proved a bitter disappointment. Bet- tors accepted 4 to 5 about him and the best Jack Martin coulé do was to drep the big fellow in third. Cougar, a2 12 to 1 shot, r'Gden by Charley Kelly, made all the running and scored clev- erly at th= wire from Veterano. The crack Eastern mudiark, Ahuma- da, made his California debut in the seven-furlong purse run. Dr. Kyle's horse ran an excelient race under J. Jones' piloting, but was held safs throughout by the favorite, Epicure, losing in a miid drive by a neck. Lead- er, a well-played one from the Jennings stable, finishad third. Because of the presence in the saddie of Tommy Burns, Forest King went to the post favorite for the concluding mile seiling affair. Tofamy’'s mount was prominent from the jump, but it was not in the cards, and he ran into the show. Caronal, with Hiidebrand in the saddle, came from behind in the stretch, running home an easy winner over TIllowano. ‘.\'OTL£ OF, THE TRACK. Hildebrand piloted two winners. Cheeny, one of the starters in the maiden two-vear-old event, fell at the three and a half furlong pole with Iva Powell. The latter was taken to the track hospital and eattended by Dr. Dunn, who found the clever light- weight had suffered a fracture of a £mall bone in one.of his ankles. The $1000 handicap at one and a six- teenth miles is the feature event of to-day's card. Among the starters are the good Eastern performers Oarsman and Paulconbridge. Fossil, another starter, and winner of the Crocker sell- ing stake, meets” his old rival, Ho- ratiug, on equal terms. In the last event Jane Holly, holder of the world's record of 1:183-5 for six and a half furlongs, (he. entry “Plunger” Joe Yeager, makes her Cali- fornia_debut. 4 Nearly all of the books quit loser on the day.

PORTLAND. Or., Dec, 15.—As the lights of the car from which she had Just stepped to-night, homeward bound, passed on and left Miss Maggie Funk standing in the darkress she was con- fronted by a bearded highwayman, who demanded her money. “I don’t know how it happened,” said Miss Funk in describing the next twe minutes, “but I hit him blows on the head with the porcelain handle of my umbrella and he was awfully surprised and drooped his revolver. Then, I screamed and threw the umbrelia at him.

The cost of a commission in the Brit- ish army is well illustrated in the case of Lieutenant and Riding Master Em- mery of the Roval Irish Lancers, who has' just gone into bankruptcy, with -liabilities amounting to $3670. Twenty- five vears ago he enlisted in the regi- ment as a private. He gained an hon- orary commissibn in 1894, with an al- Jlowance of $750 to cover his expenses. He was called on to spend for new clothes, $470; for two horses, $250; for transit of family to India, $75; for fur- nishing quarters, $600, and for saddlery, $100, a total of $1495, or $745 more than the Government allowed him.

While Tommy was being counted out by George Har- ding, the timekeeper, Reilly’s seconds threw up the sponge and Referee Zd- die Graney gave the fight to the dark- ekinned pugilist. At no time-did Reilly have a chanca. That he was not knocked out in the second and again in the fifth round was due to the timely sounding of the bell. Despite the manifest superiority of Woods, the pair put up five and a half rounds of as furious fighting as any patron of the sport could hope to wilness In years. Wpods did the trick with his terrific stomach and body smashes. They would have downed better men than Reilly and the wonder was how he lasted a second after tak- ing some of Woods' punches. Billy Jordan's warning that bets would be called off if there should be any sign of “fake” was unnecessary <o far as the result showed. The veteran announcer said there had been rumors about that the fight did not look right. There was not anything left of the gossip after the contest ended. Old- timers set the bout as a mark for swift work. Tommy did not show up phys- ically as strong appearing as Woods. While the colored man was in fine fet- tle, Reilly seemed a bit fat and his skin did not have a healthy glow. The white fighter was extremely nervous from the first. He forced the game from the start of nearly every round. His opponert took things more coolly and waited for his chance to send in those stomach jolts that finished Tom- my. Woods covered better and Reilly's drives at the head were too often smothered to be effective. WOODS IS KNOCKED DOWN. Reilly opened up round one with live- ly leading and a cheer from the short- enders went up when Woods went to the floor before the gong had barsly ceased its din. Then Reilly went to the floor, but they were together in a few seconds, driving their heavy rights and lefts to head and body, hammering without a second's let up. ® One stiff left to the’ body sent Reilly to the ropes. Up he came at the colored man and floored Woods in a. mixup of punching. Tommy was a bit llred{ when_the bell rang for corners. Barely was the second round on be- fore Woods sent Reilly to the ropes with a stomach smash. They got to- gether and it was fast work. Near the end of the round Woods put in his right to the stomach and Rellly was | all but gone when the gong sounded. Tommy forced matters upon the opening of the third round. There was | a het exchange and Woods tried but missed several stiff gmes at Reilly's head. In a rally Woods landed his left | on Reilly's stomach and the white man went down. A second time he was joited to the floor, but was up again a six seconds and fighting hard. In the battling Reilly was damaged badly and we=t to his corner tired. Woods fought Tommy into the Reilly | ccrner in the opening of the founh“ rournd, but Tommy got out and gave the colored man a bunch of stingers to the face that drew biood freely. Billy sent Reilly to the floor with a left to. the jaw and Tommy took nine seconds. The white man was flocred again. but pulled himself together and Woods was missing body punches at the end of the round. REILLY'S BLOWS LACK FORCE. The fifth round found Tommy forc- ing matters again, but the end was in sight, ay Woods put in a left to the head that made Reilly reel, while an- other to the body put Tom to the mat for eight seconds. Tommy went to the floor again and it looked all off- for the white man, when he suddenly rallted and gave Woods a stiff left sging that caught the colored man on %he head. A gpcend later, though, another stom- ach punch sent Tommy down for nine sgeconds. Woods waited and a third one all but settled it, the bell saving Tom. Reilly was weak when the sixth and last began. He tried to force matters, but his blows lacked force. Woods went in and floored the white man four times, and up went the sponge. Spike Foley gct the decision in four rounds over Paul Crum. Jack Madden was given the decision over Jack Duffy in the second round, after the referee refused to allow Duffy’s claim of foul. ————— Coursing at Dixon. T. C.

The trouble is all over terms. Man- ager Ezra Decoto sent a representative to Denver to meet Barnard, manager for Minnesota, to arrange terms if pos- sible. The California + representative notifiled Decoto yesterday that an agreement had been made and it seemed nothing further stood in the way of a game. Briefly, the terms were that California would pay the traveling expenses of twenty Mimnesotans to the coast and maintain them in San Fran- cisco for ten days, California to assume all the financial burden. Manager Decoto received a telegram. to-day from Dr. H. L. Willlams, chair- man of the Minnesota athletic commit- tee, Insisting that all the terms agreed to by Manager Barnard be strictly lived up to and enumerating some of the articles he supposed were contained in the contract. These articles called for bringing the visitors out over the Burlington route as far as Omabha, thence over the Denver and Rio Grande road to Oregon, with stopover privi- leges, and return by way of Los An- geles; incidental expenses amounting to $250, telegraph expenses $30 and ex- penses for representative to Denver $40. Manager Decoto at once piaced him- self in communication with California’s representative, who had by this time reached Naw Mexico. He discovered the agreement called for none of the luxuries mentioned by Dr. Willlams. He then wired Dr. Willlams, demand- ing that he either accept the agree- ment as it stands or quit altogether. Manager Decoto is awaiting a reply to his last dispatch and upen it depends whether there will be a game on New Year's day or not. The hesitating conduct of the Minne- sota representatives is thought to be due to the failure of their Denver agent to get more liberal terms, though he was clothed with full power to act when he set out to meet the California representat. —————————— Four Coast Players for Brooklyn.
