From pre? est appearances this city will be strongly represented In the national regat ta to he held next month at Lake Quln sigamond. near Worcester, In Massachu retts. At least four clubs from the local harbor will be on hand, and the prospects are that even a stronger entry will be made. The SL Louis, Century. Mour.d City and Western four-oared crev3 are cxtrcm!y likely to so Hast for this trip. Barge races do not seem to be carded In the East, and the local oarsmen will therefore be unable to appear In what Is more or less a special ty on the river. Trcsldeat Schaab has Issued an appeal in all the clubs to send strong representation to the meet He polnt3 out that the national regatta of next year is to be held in this city, and that the St. Louis oarsmen should show the Easterners what port of material we have In this part of the country. A strcng crowd of oarsmen from St. Louis, representing the sport in thebest way this reason, will undoubtedly boost the national meet of next ear. Any display of luke waimr.ess in the matter may hurt the na tional regatta. Hence, he points out the ad visability of the crews turning out ctronsly. Even cartmen who have up intention of rarticiintinc should take a trip to the re gatta, if possible, he believes. Arrange ments are being made for a special train to take St. Louis men to the lake, and a pleasant journey is thereby assured. The spectacle of the national regatta will be well worth sceinsr.

"Clifton. Forge is the best 2-ycni-old de veloped here this season," declared Jamts Jackson, the well-known bookmaker, the other ntght. "The Sire colt ran Forehand to a head the first time they met. which was alsx) Clifton Forge's first race over the Dclmar track. Up to that time Forehand reemrtl to hold all our 3-year-old.s .safe, hav ing Jut beaten Orient, winner of the Debu tante Stakes, and Major Pclham, winner of the Kindergarten Stakes, In the most de cisive fashion. "After running second to Forehand, Clif ton Forge eame out and galloped over a lair Held. Then he met Forehand for the second time. This time the Sire eolt gal loped over Bennett's crack, winning In the most impressive manner over six furlongs. Thls victory clearly stamped Clifton Forge as a iirst-class 3-year-old. in my humb'e estimation. He looks the part and is bred to lie a real runner. "His sire. Handsome, was one of the very best sxms of the great Hanover, the great est race horse of his day. Besides being by n great horse. Handsome. Clifton Forge's sire, is equally as well bred on his dam's s-ide, being a s0n of the peerless producing mare.

Ed Corrigan paid S10.OM for Hand some when th col' w.i- a i-veai-old. Handsome broke down while In Corrigan's etab.. and was sold for a song sevtral years ago to an Oiegon breeder. Shortiv afterwaids the sons of Hanover commenced to distinguish themselves. "Clifton Fcrge Is one of the first of hh get to race.

Nearly every first-class selling plater in training at St. Louis and Chicago Is eligible to the August Selling Stakes, which will be run at the Delmar track next Satur day. The Chicago contingent is destined to cut an important figure in this contest. Jim Artnir has a strong pair In Lord Touchwood nnd Rankin, either ot which will take considerable beating at one mile and twenty yards.

He walks Ills horse's from the Florissant Valley track whenever lie t irt them at Delmar. Gold-lil-itt says that the tllstiince Is no longer than the walk from the Fair Grounds to Delmar. Mose says his horses have always fared well at KInlcch. ivtu Nolan's S-ycar-old, Orpheum. is ore of the most consistent performers at the Dclmar race track. Orpheum lias to Ms credit four stra ght victories, including the Midsummer Handicap. Forehand is another iwample ot how consistent Nolan's horse perform. This colt had won three straight racts prior to ills defeat by Clifton i'orgo last week. Vnichaud belongs to Gccre C. Bennett, bat Is trained by Nolan, jvneke. which was the medium ot one of tne Sire, killings last week, is out of Frank vvtirs famous old sprinter, Harlem. Weir Is now training for Frank Farrell, who owns Blues and other metropolitan turf stars. Weir had Harlem in his stable when ho came to tho Fair Grounds to race ten ears ago She had been a good maro iu the Last, but broke down here. Sporting Xotc. Jockey Willie Buchanan, who rode Mc Chesney in nearly all of his races last year, picks Waterboy as the winner. "I do not think McChesney is at his ls.-st now," said Buchanan: "ho itnos nnl Innlr ns tcoII nu 1,q j did thij time last year. He Is not big enough, and the trip here seems to me to nave oone mm a world of hatm. If he had time to get over thit before the race I would think he could win. but not now. The Eastern horsemen will partly get even now for ul! the unsuccesslul attempts to win the Derby." Delchanty's widow is left In destitute cir cumstances'. Delehanty was a member of Erie Lodge. No. . Fraternal Order of Eagles, of Philadelphia, hut it Is said he wis In arrears with hisjlues, and his widow wid derive no beneht tiom that source un less the individual members contribute some thing, 'the drowned player had about &.,0 in his pockets when he left Detroit and also had about Kt.OUO worth of diamonds which belonged to a Philadelphia dealer, which Delehanty was to try to sell among ball plajers on the trip West.

Southern horse owners have not f.nesl so well during the present Chicago lacing season as In former e.irs, i.

A serlouj det-iment tn the stable was the loss nr the servl"s of Jockey I'oburn. Till clever and popular rider re 1 s0 completely a victim to the drink h-iblt that the stable had to dis pense Willi his services. ELLISON'S L(T HAS GONE OFF. C It. Elilon has met with a fair share of luck through his winning ef the ICen- tuek Derby and the Hawthorne National Ilandlc-lll with Jotlirn lllmes. flip tunr;ww being worth net about 14.00O. Skillful also was a cood bread-winner for the stabh ranler in the saon, nnd J. I. Mayberrv 'showed blni-'elf a joungMcr of qualitj- when tit and ready. Hut Ellison's entire lot I has trained off In such bad shape wero , his horses that he had decides! not to send S"J., . era lo Saratoga, lie concluded finally, however, to ship them out there in the hope that the rejuvenating air and water of Horso Haven might bring them around Into racing shape again. Ellison let considerable money betting on his hordes, and particulailr Harry New. so that he Is very probably a considerable loser on the season so far as his own sta ble Is concerned. John F. Schorr, who camo here from San Francisco at the beginning of the Washington Park meeting, won -two or three races with Gold Bell and Eyherln. the best ones of his lot. But Eshcrin failed to run up to her California form, ami Schorr's campaign here was not a. success ful one. He alo ishlppcil his horses to Sar atoga, where the string may tie combined with that of his father. John W. Schorr. Hlldreth's stable has been amiss most of REQUITAL IS MAKING HIS MARK AS SUCCESSFUL SIRE. Among all the interesting and important deductions which may reasonably be made from liut. week's racing, not the least note worthy is based upon tho very creditable chowing made by Juvenile representatives of Ilcqultal. It would bo Idle to dispute thnt the Futurity-Hcallzation hero of 1S03 lidd has claimed but a disappointing repre Eentation in any ar.d all of the seasons in which his progeny have been sporting silk: It Is hardly going beyond the bounds of truth to declare. Indeed, that almost all of our turfmen and breeders have long since formed the conviction that Bequltal was destined to prove nothing short of an abso lute failure as a sire. BOUND TO BE GOOD SIKE. While it i-i beyond question that Re quital's detractors have been vastly in the majority among American racing folk, it Is nevertheless true that a select few- have never despaired of seeing the horso repre sented by some thoroughly creditable prog eny, if not a son of hU own distinctive clas-2. Requital's pedigree was naturaily construcd a3 being greatly In his favor, even if for no other reason than the fact thnt his dam was so regular a producer ot winners. The remainder of this group wcic eaflly outshone by Requital, it is true, but It is equally significant that such a quartet of creditable winners as Arab, Sir William, Contribution and Nick were no mediocre preludo to Retribution's great est stud triumph In Requital, and those who lave "stuck to him through thick and thin" have ample cause for congratulating themselves over tho outcomo of last week'u Hjde Park Stakes at Chicago and Distaff Stakes at Brighton, with an over-night win by the 4-year-old Firing Lino "thrown In for good measure." English Lad. whose Hyde Park succesres furnished lteiiuitul s winning total with the very sut'stauiial addition of 9,1-0. is out of English Lady, who Will be remembered as a successful performer upon our metro politan nice courses something more than a car ago. Probably iV.r greatest rictory was In Gravesend's Oriental Handicap of lSsl. and ns Vorkvlllo Belie, had won the Pi aspect Slakes only halt nn hour earlier in the afternoon, the occasion was certainly a "red-letter dav" for their sire. Miser. ENGLISH LAD HIS BE5T. The Requital-Lugilsh Lao union, which produced English Lad, lias soma thoroughly interesting features which are only partial ly revealed by the accompaning tabula tion The alliance is characterized by ut least two powerful atllmtles, placed with a symmetry which was especially for'.unate in view of English Lady's descent from a fe male line which doe. not trace to the Eng lish Stud Book. Perhaps it will be advisa ble for mo to promptly note that the fam ily finds its American Stud Book tap rout in the celebrated Barb mare which was pre sented to President Jefferson by the Bey of Tunis. ENGLISH LAD'S AFFINITIES. English Lad's greatest ahinllles are thoso ot Touchstone, Lexington and Xlclbournc. Requital's male lino luns directly to Touch stone throuch the Eothcn-Humpton-Lord Citilen-Nevvminster sequence Imp. Eclipse (vide tabulation) was by Orlando, son of Touchstone, while Imp. Australian was by West Australian, whose dam was a Touch stone mure. English Ludj's dam. Bonny Ias.v. was a daughter of Imp. Buckden. whose parentage by I.ord Clifden obviously rcturm the direct male line which pro duced Requital. Then, to crown It all. Re form's dam, imp. Stolen Kisses, traced di rectly in the female line (through only three removes) to a full sister to Touchstone. English Lad's Lexington affinities nre pro vl'ied by Echo, Aerolite and Harry of tho W-st. all of which trio were sired by the "Blind Hero of 'Voodburn." The Melbourne affinities are also triple. Two are provided bv the double strain of Lord Clifden. who was out of a Melbourne mare, will!? the third is especially potent by re-ason of the fact that West Australian was a son of Melbourne. THE LINE OF LEXINGTON. Possesion, the Distaff heroine, is out of Retained II. who Is by Hanover out of Re- i dare, she by Reform, wno niso siicu Re quital's dam. Hero is an obvious Intensifi cation of some strong lines of Family Four teen, to which Imp. Leamington. Imp. Sto len Kisses and Touchstone alike trace. In deed, as I have already shown. Stolon Kisses is closely descended from Touch stone's full sister. Requital's line of Lexington (through Echo) is directly returned in Retained II. by Lexington's daughter. Florence. It is to be noted, however, that Hanover was close ly inbred to Vandal, who sired both Virgil anu Ella D. vanuai ana lcxiukioi: noin ttaced directly to Lady Grey, who was the third dam of Lexington nnd the fourth dam of Vandal, and all this obviously adds to Possession's intensification of Family Twelve, which Is prominently represented 1...

GEI'.ST DISAPPOINTED. William Gerst was mucli disappointed with the showing made by his stable at Washington Park. H bet heavily on sev eial occasions on Fore and Aft. and on Talhouet nnd one or two of his othi r tvvo ear olds. He believed that he had been the victim of bad ildes and shipped his let hack to St. Loins in the spring at Nash ville the stable looked like n nromlsimr on-. Anothei Nashville stable that In earlv l.pring training was considered to b n formidable one is that of German and Iiauer. They have done fairly well here hut Jack Itntlln and Hanlolph have been their chief reliances. Sinner Simon and n couple of two-year-olds that reiently recovered from pneumonia have been sent to Ken tucky to be turnevl out. FRED COOK HAS GOOD ONES. Fred Cook, the St. Louis turfman, has the strongest stable here in two-year-old material. English Lad and Fred I-eppert are as good as the bet youngsters that have shown heie. while Frank Cnrr and two or three of the other juveniles are useful sorts, cook's two-year-olds are in charge of mown i.mck. one or me best developers of young horses In the country, while Bill Phillips has charge of the older horses. Lendln and Linguist havu both added to tlie winnings of the stable. Linguist, like Au Revoir. fell short of calculations. He js. however, a good colt, a-d is more than likely to run back to his best two-year-old form at the fall meetings. There have rialiy been no first-class two-year-olds, that is, none that could stand out bv- themselves as McCheaney and Runnels did. or ns Abe Frank did. But a number of high-class ones have performed In the stakes, such as English Lad, Flo Bob, Peter Paul. Dick Bernard. Fred Leppert, Proceeds and -Lonsdale. These are all so evenly matched that a trifling variation in condition or a slight shifting of the weights has been sufficient to bring them together. They are all good colts. The best of the lot as promising three-year-old development aro probably Flo Boh ana English Lad. Batts. Soldier of Fortune and Prince Silver wings are others of class that may lmprovo later on. in reminiscent thoughts of her granddam. Hectare, whose many brilliant performances will nover lose the prominence which was originally awarded them among America's most notable turf achievements, posses sions Distaff victory was, therefore, not only a welcome contribution to Requital's long-deferred boom, but also furnished a new tribute to the sterling worth of that """!" u ui-iuine m inj-jv, tne reaoubt 1 able "switchman's filly."

Corner Sixth nnd JOCKEY WILLIE HIGGINS Jockey Willie Higgins. or "Terry" Hig gins, as John Nixon, his manager, calls him, or that "hinfcrnal bloody "Iggins" as Tommy Sayers puts it when he gives him a bad ride for his money, is a St. Louis con tribution to the rldng talent of the Ameri can turf. Higgins was born about Easton and Mar cus avenues, and now- lives at Easton and Belt avenues. Two years ago he was ap prenticed to Zack Mulhnll as a stable boy. The first horse Mulhall put him on was a bucker. After he had bucked a bit Higgins became frightened and wanted to quit. "Hold on! Hold on!" the boy said. "I have the cramps awful bad in my stum mlck." "Tou have the cramps, eh?" asked Mul hall, who saw what wa3 up. "Well, dis covered from his race in the Great Western Handicap when he was shipped to New York. In that race, which, ov the way. lie certainly should have won. he carried 134 pounds, and he was beaten only a length in 2:314 for the mile nnd a Tiair. Such a bruising race would bo enough to take Homfthing out of any horse, and I do not see how the trip, half way across the con tinent, could help him to recover from it. WATERBOY MUST BE RIGHT. "I repeat that I think Waterboy will win. but he will have to be a very good race horse to do so. whether McChesney is real fit or not. for 'Big Mac.' as he is called, if anything like himeif. will beat any but a vtry kuuu iiyi.; mi ; u tf "'v" pay any attention to the claims that ni uus noi jei uuuni a i-vi tu. . ..... .1,.

I know- the diseases and weaknesses of men like an open book, and while I do not claim to have been a specialist for a quarter of a century, and hence with rpothods necessarily antiquated and out of date, jet I havo been treating and curing special diseases of men for fifteen rars. and my methods are decidedly those of tho present day adding the benefits and experiences of the past to the superior knowl edge and perfected methods ot the present. I have devoted the; best part of my life to this subject, nnd tho thousands on thousands of men whom I have restored and brought back to HEALTH AXD VIGOROUS MAMIOOD are to-day proud, living monuments to the skill, kr.owleeise and suc cess of OR.

Mul hall took a riding whip and gave him. a scund lacing. Higgins never had cramps again. In 1W2 Higg'ns was the worst rider In tha world. He could not find h!s way around a track while exercising horses. One davr he rode Lofter in a two-horse race, and got him cut off four times by Found, the only other horse in the event. Tills season sees him a fair Jockey. Ha rides Malster to the taste of the Queen. Ho is careless, however, and pays little atten tion at times when he should be alert. Ho gets left at the post every now and then be cause he is looking at some one In the grand stand instead of paying attention to the starter. But he is a smart boy. and when he gets over his foolishness will be a good rider. HIggilns always does Just what Gabe Gay tells him. to being shipped. There never was a a tereres that was noted for gameness. anel I do not consider Waterboy an exception to the rule. McChesney. on the contrary. Is a bulldog, and the gamest horse you ever saw. "I will tell you the reason I pick McChes ney to win. Waterboy will go to the fron fighting for his head. He may even bo verv rank if kept under restraint. If Waterb0T' jockev- holds him for a sprint through the! stretch he will find McChesney at hist throatlatch all the way. and he will be choked to death, while .McChesney will ba just ready for business when they are let Sow n. SOME GOOD LOGIC. "On the other hand, if Waterboy goe cut to set a fast pace. McChesney will be lapped nn him all the way Just the same, and when Waterboy Is done McChesney will be fresh enough to go on. and he will win by him self. No matter how the race Is run. Mc Chesney will outgame his rival, and In that way he will win. Waterboy cannot out run him in an early sprint, nor he cannot outgame him in a final brash, so there you. arc." of TVlen.
