READY TO! FIGHT
McFarland and Britton Trained
to Top Notch.
Exciting Contest in "ew York
Tonight.
New York, March 7. Packpy Mc
Farland and Jack Britton, both of
O-iicaco. both at the ton rune of the
ladder of lightweight boxing honors,
both of Irish blood, both of the same
height, both trained to the minute
and both confident of victory, declared
themselves ready today for the ten
round contest in Madison .Square gar
den tonight. Kach man has an en
thusiastic following. including many
admirers from their home city who
expect to witness the bout. Arrange
ments were completed today for ac
commodating ten thousand spectators.
McFarland expressed himself as cer
tain of making the 137 pounds re
quired at 3 o'clock this afternoon and
Tiritton believed that when he weigh
ed he would be found to be conceding
at least two or three pounds to his
rival Rrittrin bs smitrht this rnntPKt
since his meeting with McFarland last !
In Memphis two years ago when the
referee decided that their eight round
bout was a draw.
Both men then, however, claimed
victory. McFarland has never suf
fered a defeat of any kind in a glove
contest. This record has made him
a favorite in tonight's bout, but Brit
ton's skill has been developed since
the Memphis meeting and his follow
ers declare that McFarland's confi
dence may receive a setback. McFar
land is acknowledged in both camps
as one of the most scientific boxers
in the world, passessing dazzling speed
with both hands and feet, coupled
with quick thinking. He is 24 years
old and is said to have made a for
tune of $200,000 in his eight years'
career in the ring.
Britton appeared as a boxer at
about the same time as McFarland,
lnit has taken much longer to show
llis ability. He is in his twentv-eighth
year ami is exactly McFarland's
Bright. fie feet eiht inches. His
ring record shows five defeats, most
nf them in his early years as a boxer

BENEFITS OATS CROP.
Vincent Ator Turns Attention to
Agricultural Matters.
Poughkcepsie, X. Y.. March 7. The
recent decision of Vincent Astor to de
vote some of his wealth, youth and en
ergy to the agricultural regeneration of
New York state, took the form of ac
tion todav In the offer to provide farm
ers of Dutchess county, the seat of his
ancestral estate, with white tartar seed
oats at $1.25 a bushel. Although young
Astor himself is on the way to Panama
in his yacht, the announcement is made
from Ferncliff tarm at Knmeoreni
which he has decided to turn into an
aerieultural experiment station.
Old farmers say that young Astor
has shown good judgment in the se
lection of the first neighborhood crop
to be improved. Oats in Dutchess county
rarely grow more than three feet in
heiaht and the heads are scanty ana
th kernels thin. The Astor farm
guarantees that its seed oats will im
prove the crop in the county, producing
five feet of straw, with long heads and
thick plump heavy kernels.

000. The deficit of $14,000 will be
made up from the guarantee fund of
$88,000 which was subscribed in
Washington." The joint congressional
inaugural committee fipent about $25,
000 appropriated by congress.

tions for February amounting to $4,
299,435 are more than a million dollars
than February a year ago and the
