8 AMONG THE HORSES. Rose-Tinted Prospects for the Twin City Jockey Club •\\ '■__ Meeting. The Derby, Expected to Bring Out All the Western Cracks. Mammoth Prizes for Trotting and Running- Horses to .Struggle For. Entries fop St. Louis and Mor ris Park— Whips and Tips. "If our plans do not miscarry, the first renewal of the -Twin City Derby stake,to be run at Hamline on the open ing day of the summer meeting next month, will figure in turf history asone of the greatest racing events of 1890." That is Secretary Shaw's prediction, and he seldom makes a mistake. In the East racing, the most popular of all sports, is being overdone, but in the West the meetings generally up to date haac been disappointing to spectators and owners. Riley was the only, horse of any account in the Kentucky Derby; Bill Letcher had a walkover for the St. Louis blue ribbon, and there has been a lack of push on the part of the several associations. With the Twin City Jockey club it will be different. More money will be spent in announcing and preparing for the meet ing than many of the Western associa tions offer in purses and added money. Before the gates are opened July 23 530, --000 will have been spent in public com forts, and besides the rich purses hung up, none less than 5500, the added money amounts to §13,000. Small wonder then that Secretary Shaw takes a rose-tinted view of the situation. Horsemen are al ready arranging for the shipment of their strings from Chicago to St. Paul at the close of the Washington Park meeting, and are booking stable accom modations. There is every prospect of large fields in the several laces, es pecially the stake events, and the race meeting will demonstrate to the out siders who attend that any enterprise under the auspices of the Twin Cities Is a sure go.

The American Derby, to be run at Chicago on June 21, the opening day of the Washington Park meeting, is just now the leading topic of conversation among patrons and followers of the turf. Seventy-two colts and fillies are eligible to start for this rich three-year old event, and it is fair to presume that there will be a large field of starters. Early in the season the public conceded the race to El Rio Rev in consequence of his phenomenal two-year-old record, but since his sickness and the various conflicting -. reports as to his condition there has been a great change in the opinions of the wise heads who are wont to name the winners of big events a long way in advance. Under the cir cumstances it looks at present as though . it would be a very open race, with heavy betting, for the owners of such good horses as Bill Letcher. Rosemont, Perm P, Uncle Bob, Helter-Skelter, * Honduras, Santiago. Blarneystone, Jr., Jed, Frontiuo, Rascal, Protection, Eber lee, Extravagance and many others are not disposed to believe that their pets have not a good chance to gather in the rich plum, and thus' materially in crease the owner's bank account. RICH STAKES FOR COLTS. Mammoth Prizes Given the Young- sters to Struggle For. The tendency on : the running turf toward rich stakes for youngsters has set so strongly for years that now prac tically all the mammoth prizes are given the two-year-olds to struggle for. The Suburban and Brooklyn handicaps, the chief events of ' the year : for all ages, each worth §10,000, are dwarfed beside the Futurity, worth about $70,000 ; the Great American, worth over $20,000: the Great Eclipse, > worth- $25,000, and oilier stakes for two-year-olds, while for the three-year-olds the Realization, the Lorillard and the Omnibus stakes for exceed in value any event for the all aged classes. The same tendency is observable on the trotting turf, and The Chicago Horseman Guaranteed stake for foals of 1890, the entries ■: to which close July 1, marks an epoch in this progressive movement/*; This stake, of a guaranteed ..value of 112,500, is the richest event ever offered for trotting colts, and as will be seen by turning to the announcement, it is within the means of the poorest horse owner to enter v his best youngster, while those 1 who breed on an extensive* 1 scale can name a dozen colts and keep them in to the last payment.and still only have paid for the twelve nominations . about „ten per cent of the stake, the customary en trance fee for one horse in regular trot ting events. When a running or a trot ting colt goes into the sale ring the fact of his being nominated in a great futu rity stake adds materially to the price he will bring. In the first place, the fact of his being entered proves that his breeder recognizes his . merit, and, be- ; sides, the chance of winning a "little fortune will draw an extra bid, for the. element of chance is and always will be a fascinating and important factor in horse breeding and horse racing. No man can foresee where the 'champion - four-year-old of 1894 may spring .from, and a notable triumph and a snug little fortune await the winner of The Horse man stake. 38SHg TRIALS OF A STARTER. Neither Pulling Nor Helping Should Be Tolerated. Talking of the trials and tribulations of a starting judge, an expert tersely gave his views as follows: * '.'A good plan is to let the horses be scored two or three times, then select the " pole horse, if an average scorer and steady going, as the one to score by. When, this is done and a driver willfully spoils a score after fair warning he should be fined in earnest. If a horse is a bad actor and spoils two or three starts, his driver should be notified that he must take his chances hereafter in scoring for the heat, and it the others are iv line the word should be given regard less of the song and dance prolongers of scoring. The starter should be firm, but not dictatorial. Let him give the drivers to understand that neither pull ing nor helping will be tolerated; that no horse can be started for work only, but all must be driven for the money." It is too late in the day to preach on the moral evils attendant on gambling, and when not abused the facilities for bet ting on the horse one fancies add con siderably to the enjoyment of the sport. All this is so self-evident that it would scarcely need repeating but to point out that the public demand for .opportuni ties to bet on race tracks should be met by the best possible supply. Associa tions sell the betting privileges for large sums, and it is incumbent on them to see that the public gets a fair show. Of late complaints have been rife at many trotting and pacing meet ings that intending buyers of pools find it difficult and often impossible to in vest on an apparently good thing, ow ing to the fact that the poolseller him self has an agent on the outside buying for him. This certainly should be put a stop to. The poolseller, with sheet before him, and the knowledge of how owners and drivers are placing their money, has an undoubted advantage over the general public. He gets a commission of ? per cent on every bet made, and this should be enough to sat isfy him. There is need of a little more stringency in the conditions under which the poolseller acquires his priv ilege, and associations should look to it that he does not enter into such an unfair competition with owners of horses and the race-going public. A word of encouragement at the right time often has a marvelous effect, as shown by an incident recently related by W. H. Lockwood, about the late John Murphy, and recalling his good quali ties of head and Heart. "He showed me the greatest and most unexpected favor I ever received in a race," said Lock wood. "It was in the 2:28 classjat Fleet wood, three springs ago, when Murphy was behind Western Belle. , : She won the second heat in 2.25K, Dan took the third in 2:24}^. Well, as 1 was bringing Sir Walter Jr. up the hill and slowly gaining on the leaders. I found Western Belle directly in my way. Murphy hap pened to spy me and pulled aside to let me pass, shouting: 'I'm done; goon; you can beat Dan to the wire.' The act and the words gave me a lot of confi dence and courage, so I set sail for.Dan,. and after a driving finish beat him to the -wire, just as honest John pre dicted." ■■.'-'•. WHIPS AND TIPS. Gossip About Horses, Horsemen And Their Doings. The sense of smell is strongly de fined in a horse, and it depends more on this sense than on that of sight. A horse will leave musty hay in a", bin un touched, no matter how hungry. He will not drink of ..water objectionable to his questioning sniff, nor from a bucket which some other odor makes offensive, no matter how thirsty. His intelligent nostrils will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest bit offered by the fair est of hands. A mare is never satisfied by either sight or whinny that a foal is really her own until she has certified that fact by means of her. nose. Blind horses as a rule will gallop widly about a pasture without striking the surround ing fence. The sense of smell informs them ot its proximity. Others will, when loosened from the stable, go directly to the gate or : bars opening to their accustomed feeding ground, and when desiring to return after hours of ceaseless wandering will distinguish the one outlet and patiently await its opening. The odor of that particular part of the fence is their guide to it. The horse in browsing, or while gathering herbage with its lip, is guided in its choice of proper food en tirely by its nostrils. Blind horses do not make mistakes in their diet. Delia, Nutwood, foaled at Warren Park Farm, Terre Haute, Ind., a bay filly by Syndic.

Morris won one-quarter of all the money con tested for at the recent Brooklyn meet ing, their total winnings being $43,300 out of $172,312 paid out to winners. Of this amount their two-year-old colt Rus sell won $21,905; Chatham, $7,280; Cor rection, $6,255; Territier, $3,336; Am bulance, $2,385; their other starters smaller amounts. Of the other stables, Walbaum won $15,200; the Beverwyck stable (including Castaway's Suburban), $9,822. Mr. Withers won $9.350 ; Hough Bros., $8,105; Belmont, $8,070;: Green Morris, $6,995; Father Bill Daly, $6,620; Dwyer 8r05.,*5,515; W. L. Scott, $5,440; Lakeland (including Exile), $5,395. Probably the heaviest betting man on the American turf at present, outside M. F. Dwyer, is Pierre Lorillard, who thinks nothing of plumping . $10,000 on one of his , horses that he thinks has a good chance of victory. He hit the ring very heavily Friday last when his filly Paroline won, but some of it went back again Saturday on Pagan in the Fern cliff handicap. Mr. Dwyer turned the bookmakers over Saturday when Eon beat Prince Royal, Mr. Belmont's horse evidently being short of the work neces sary to meet so good a colt as Eon in a bruising race. . -:_. .1^ I Js -Ji- It is a pleasant duty to report that Electioneer is considered on the road to recovery.

It is pretty generally known that Capt. George N. Stone, of Cincinnati, was the original owner of the famous mare, Maud S. The following incident, showing that it was a' mere chance which made her his property, may not be so familiar, says Chatter. Capt. Stone and a fellow townsman, Mr. H — . de cided to go down into the Kentucky blue-grass region and see what they could pick up in the way* of yearling colts. They each * wanted one. Now Mr. II— — was a man noted for his shrewdness and ability to get the best of everything for the least money. After skirmishing around the stock farms two such animals as they were looking for were obtained and shiDped to the Ohio river to be sent to Cincinnati on the steamboat, lt was a.; curious coincidence that the .. two horses cost the same and, moreover, re-, sembled each other very closely. The two gentlemen went back; to Cincinnati .'by rail and were present on the arrival of; the boat which brought their pur chases. As the horses were brought down the gang-plank the first one ap peared with coat in good condition and spirits way up. The second was rather - rough-coated from rubbing against the stall and came meekly : along. Mr. H- — - sized up these appear ances and said he guessed he'd take his colt up himself, at the same time reach ing forward for the halter of the first horse. Capt. Stone said: "H , I think that one is mine." "Oh, no, it isn't, Stone," replied H — -. "I remember, mine had a smooth coat of hair." "Well, all right," remarked the ac commodating Stone, "I guess there's not much difference. The horses cost the same and are the same age. Trot her off." - ..** • ' •: Capt. Stone took, his colt home, and when his daughter saw the meek little animal she immediately took a fancy to it and made a pet of it. So her father called it after her name, "Maud S." It is needless to say that H — -'s colt has never been heard from. ' '.*+ — : — ■ OLE BULL'S INDEPENDENCE. An Instance of the Violin ist's Fearlessness and Self-Re spect. ChamDers* Journal. ___BB_| The late Ole Bull, the well-known violinist, was per .ectly fearless of con sequences when his self-respect was touched. As an example of this: The grand duchess of Mecklenburg gave the musician a letter of commendation to her father, then king of Prussia, aft erward the Emperor William. With this he went to Berlin, where, as di rected, he called first on the superin tendent ot the Royal opera house, to whom he stated his mission. That gen tlemen was : so patronizing that Bull could hardly stand it; but eventually an hour . was fixed on , the fol lowing day for another call at the opera' house. The violinist, with his usual punctuality, presented himself at the hour, determined to stand no non sense.: "Where is .your violin?" de manded the superintendent. "In the case," responded Ole Bull, coolly. "And where is the case?" "At the hotel." "But did not I tell you to play for me?" "Excuse me, sir," was the answer; "I did not think you were in earnest. I play either for money or honor, and in this case neither is in question." The manager was piqued, and he replied sharply: . "1 cannot present you to. his majesty : without having . heard you." "If the request of the grand duchess is not a sufticieht recommendation to his majesty, her father, I am content to leave the city," which he did that day. Miss Hattie Harvey and Patti. A great many Milwaukeeans remem ber Miss Hattie . Harvey, says Yeno wine's News. She first attracted local attention as the roller-skate artist, and was for several seasons the bright par ticular star at the exposition rink. Last fall she . returned to Milwaukee as an actress, playing at the academy in the "Little Tramp." That -was the last 1 heard of her until yesterday, when I saw in the New York World that she had just sailed on the Umbria for Europe. She goes on the invitation of Mme. Patti to visit her at her castle in .Wales. Mme. Patti, while in Chicago last December, witnessed the perform ance of Miss Harvey, and took such a fancy to her acting and became so fond of her personally that she, insisted that she become her guest for the summer. If I am not mistaken, the young woman was engaged to marry an East side dude at the time of her departure.

Mr. Field, through his connection with the Manhattan Railroad ■ company, is known to every employe on the four roads — especially the-' gatemen. The latter all admire him— from a distance but when' he happens to pass through' their station it is a different matter, and a heartfelt sigh of relief goes out when he boards a train and leaves the plat form. This anxiety on their part is due solely to his bitter hostility to tobacco smoke. The rules of the company in sist that no smoking shall, be tolerated on the platform, and he is credited with seeing that it is enforced as much as possible. l ' • ' "' 1 witnessed a most amusing hidden one day last week, in which Mr. Field played a prominent part,. He came un , expectedly on a down-town station at a* ' time when four or five gentlemen I were enjoyine the fragrance of good : cigars. Mr. Field actually glared at them; then turning to the unlucky • gateman, he poured on his head all the wrath at his command. ".Pointing out one individual who sat smoking : a cigarette, Mr. Field directed the gateman to have it stopped, and in the meantime . the millionaire promised to stand guard over "the box. The eateman promptly responded, but, bearing in mind the rule which said no violence should be used, simply re quested the gentleman to throw his cigarette away. The latter declined, and Mr. Field, on hearing it, went to the attack himself. At first lie requested, then demanded, that the smoking should stop. The cigarette fiend,- however, merely smiled and puffed the harder. The other smok ers recognized Mr. Field, and also sent out dense volumes of smoke. Finally the objector got disgusted, and, jump ing into a train which just then came into the station, he took his departure and speculated on human wickedness until he reached the end of- his journey. The most, gratified individual of the parties to the comedy was the gateman, "Now he sees," he muttered under his breath, "that it is not so easy to enforce the rules." _ ' '■'■'; MISTAKEN IDENTITY. Some Cases That Have Lately Happened in England. New York Ledger. j«Pi§ Accounts : have been recently pub lished in England of three cases of mis taken : identity. In two of these the error * has reference to - the bodies of dead persons, whilst in the third the mistake occurred in the identifying of a living subject. On Christmas day, a woman living in Liverpool, named Catherine Reed, who had been drinking, did not return home. On the following morning the body of a woman was discovered by the side of the river Mersey: This was identified by Catherine Reed's son as that of his mother. An inquest was held, and in due course ' the funeral took place. The . money for which Mrs. ; Reed's life, was insured was drawn by her son. On March 4 Catherine Reed . returned home, and, as if to add further proot of her confined existence.claimed her share of the insurance money. Dur ing the interval that .elapsed, between her supposed death and her restoration to her family,* she was twice admitted to the Liverpool workhouse infirmary. From there she wrote to her son, but the latter, thinking he was being hoaxed, took no noticffof the communi cation. .*- .^H__-_P-_-___-__BP' The second case happened at Paris in February. A Catholic named Dorlin was admitted into the Rothschild hos pital, where he died on Feb. 23. On the next day a Hebrew named Brunswick expired in * the same : institution. By a mistake of .the hospital attendant the bodies got : mixed. Although Mme. Dorlin had same doubts as to the body shown being that of her late hus band, these were dispelled by the assur ance of her relatives that post-mortem changes sufficiently explained the dis crepancy. On February 20 a requiem mass wsa celebrated and the body of the Jew interred with Catholic ritual in; Islay cemetery. On the following day- Brunswick's son found thai the 'corpse shown him was not that of his father, J and the . mistaken identity was mad., clear. ' • Some difficulties occurred _, with regard to the interment: of the actual; body of Dorliu, botiias regards expense and the procuring of clerical aid. to sep ulture. These were at last overcome, but the body of Brunswick remained in a Catholic . graye _ until*; an . order for an exhumation could be obtained.

Watts ; _. was charged on her own confession with obtaining wearing apparel from a Mrs. Priestley • under ■ false pretenses. A week previously a woman j named Law rence was committed for trial •; at the Middlesex sessions for the same offense. Mrs. Priestley and another woman then : swore :to the . identity of ; the woman Lawrence, who asserted her innocence. Mrs. Priestley now admitted she might I have been in; error, and circumstantial* evidence was [adduced, to snow that it* was Watts who had: really obtained the goods. :: Lawrence was at once let .". out on . bail, but ;an order £ from the home . secretary was ".■ necessary . before she could be released from the criminal in ' dictment. 7^__WES______M - mm. . ' A HISTORIC MANSION, .Restoring a Genuine Washington, j Headquarters in New York City. •New York Times. *>" Carpenters were busy yesterday on the upper, floors ; of the old building at the corner of Broad and Pearl streets, known as Faunce's tavern, and bearing j upon its wall-, the sign "Washington's ■Headquarter..." The old landmark Is in a very bad way, and there is a great deal of work to ' be • done before it can • be considered renovated. .' May 1 a new tenant, Ewald Hagan,. obtained a, lease of the property from i the .owner, the McCarthy estate. ■ As ■ soon as he took, possession fie made up his mind, he explained: yestereay, that • the colonial relic was not; a comfortable .•habitation as j* it :'• stood. Any lingering • doubts he : may hay entertained on the subject were ended with the first • storm ' '_• The rain came "*.. through . leaks in the roof and wet the new lessee. A look over the : premises yesterday showed that the ,", building which had sheltered Washington and the revolu tionary; leaders, and had been the early meeting place of the New York cham ber of commerce, ; had suffered sadly ' from wear and tear. There were heaps of broken plaster in the upper halls and the flooring there was broken in some places and unpleasantly, worn in others. The windows fitted their frames in the way. that the garments of the youngest son of a large family: are likely to lit. The old stairs, of course, shared in the general gone-to-seed air of the upper re gions of the house. On* these floors the workmen had made progress and had fitted some of the rooms with new floors and other needed improvements. ' The large room on the first floor, in which Washington had his headquar ters, is in far better condition than the stories above it. It has been kept : as nearly as possible in its old condition.; On the walls hang placards announcing the farewell "of Washington. * Another tells of the first meeting of the chamber of commerce, April 5, 1768. At that time Bolton & Steel kept the tavern; and another placard tells . how Samuel Faunce became the landlord and opened his doors to the public Thursday, Sept. 20. 1770. The old arrangements in this room will be maintained as far as possible, but Mr. Hagan says that he will have .the rest of the old house as bright as a new button in a mouth or so. --. ' -** — f**!*^ THE COLOSSUS. "SsflS-f One of the Notable Monsters of Ancient Art. Blackwood's Magazine. '.' '. The famous Colossus of Rhodes,: which was made of bronze and -was sev enty cubits (or 105 feet) in height, was twelve years in making, and is said to have cost only 300 talents, of about £75,000, if we reckon the Attic talent, or £102,000 if we reckon the . other tal ent, aad probably the other talent is to be reckoned in this case. At : all events, , the so-called :•*.■■ Colossus of Sua, in the capitol, which was a bronze figure of ' Ap ollo, only thirty cubits— or forty five feet English— brought by Mar cus Lucullus from Appollonia, in Pon tus. cost 500 talents, which, if reckoned , even as Attic talents, would be over £125,000, and it would hardly be proba ble that the -Colossus of Rhodes, which was twice its height,, could have been * executed for so much less. But this is a trifle compared to the price paid for a colossal statue of Mercury, made for the city of Averni, In Gaul, by Zeno'd orus. On this work he was engaged for ten years, and the cost of it was .£335,000. . pw%-iiM>iiwniiinw > What the gold and ivory Athena of Phidias, in the Parthenon, or his ' Zeus, at Olympia. cost is stated by .any. an-. cient author. The gold employed ion the movable drapery .. alone of . the ■Athena* was over forty talents in weight of unalloyed gold, according to Thucyd ides. wnose exactness in such matters is above suspicion. This would be equiv- : alent to some £115,000 in coin : while a single lock on the head of the Zeus, at Olympia, weighed six minse, or about the value of nearly £5,000. For the famous statue at Diadumenos, which was a bronze figure of life size, repre senting a youth tying a fillet . around his heei,Polycletius received 100 talents, or about £25,000.' '■■.:-'■■;; I «_>■ — - MILITARY MUSIC. It Is Governed by Strict Regula tions in Great Britain. Anthen_eunv|_9__P-_HHP The Royal College of Music for the British army is bound by the queen's regulations for the army to use the "philharmonic" orchestral pitch. Col. , Shaw-Hellier, the colonel commandant of that institution, has recently ob tained the aid of A. J. Hipkins, of Messrs. Broad wood & Sons, to adjust the Kneller Hall standard tuning fork to the pitch adopted by the London Philharmonic society, when Sir Michael Costa was the conductor of its orchestra (1846-54), . and still maintained, The correction is to B flat 479.2 double vibrations at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and is : equivalent at that temperature to A 452.4 and C' 538. Fol lowing the coefficient for rise of tem perature as determined for the smaller wind instruments by -D. J. Blaikley, viz: .25 per degree, the C will be 540 double vibrations for 68 > degrees, a pilch v which may be accepted as the mean for concert orchestras. : The larger wind instruments rise more rap idly. The desirability of a uniform pitch for military bands being observed when they are to be massed, as will be the case in the forthcoming military ex hibition at Chelsea, is evident.
