New York SuR.l
Trainers and owners were very
anxious to pick out the best horses
from the stables, and the speed and
bottom of many were tested, with
the intention of selecting the most
worthy of the races this week. But
tho owners and trainers were not
the only persons on the ground who
watched the movements of the
racers with a critical eye. That pest
Of all tracks and courses, the sharp
er, was also watching. Behind
some tree, or rock, or shed, he who
gives the knowing ones" points
stood, timepiece in hand, watch
ing intently while some selected
horse prepared to take a dash of a
quarter or a half mile. Then
he became more interested
than if q dozen horses were about
to start; for on the time that the
horse made for the dash, and the
calculations made afterward, de-
pended his chance Of investing
knowingly in the pools. Many
turfmen dislike to have their horses
timed while exercising; but Others
are willing that it should be done.
The sharper is generally regarded
as a mean, contemplate spy, and
the underhanded methods that he
uses show that he knows the opin-
ion that others entertain Of him
The fellow carries a stop watch in
his pocket. When a selected horse
starts, the movement of the watch
is started, and when the horse
passes the quarter or half-milC
pole the movement is stopped.
Then, walking to some place
where he is unseen, the sharpe.
takes the watch out, notes th,
record on the dial and enters i
on his notebook. From that record
other records for mile or two mill
races are calculated. Anothe.
means is to bride a stable.boy K
give Information concerning thI
condition Of a layorite, and to brib,
the exercising jockey to make tn,
horse show his speed at a certain
+, stretch Of the course. Many 0
these pests were driven away from
the stables yesterday. OF course
many persons freely and openl
/ time a horse, and there is no obiec
ton made TO it. 1t is only th
: sneaking, spying, bribing, fawninI
sharper who is detested. Tn

COLONEL JOHN NJ, FLEMING,
one of the ablest and most polished
editors Tennessee ever produced,
has resumed editorial control of
the Knoxville Tribune and Age,
which drops the double name and
will hereafter be known as the
Tribune. We knew that a Journal
list of his high merit could not long
remain out of the harness. He
was educated for a lawyer, but born
to be an editor, and as such has
welded a powerful influence upon
the politics and policies of the State.
We congratulate him, as well as
the proprietors and readers of the
Tribune, upon his return to his
post. Colonel Charlton, who has
edited the paper meanwhile, will
still occupy a useful and more con-
genial sphere as agricultural editor
and correspondent,

EDITORS CLARI0N-I have Just
returned from an extensive hunt
for stolen mules. During the trip
l have learned a great many things
about the operations of mule and
horse thieves which may be of in
terest to the public. ifv nfl
First-There is Mr.. H.. A. Land
reaux, ESQ calling himself), Who'll has
been prowling around visiting those
who have lost mules and orse and
to them and to Others, he claims to
be a detective, and that he will get
(Tecoveg) the stolen property for
335 per cent. Of the value, but if
he should fail he must have his
necessary travelling expenses. This
must be in advance; then, in order
to accomplish his purpose, he will
tell who stole the stock, where it
was. taken, and everything about it,
except necessary evidence to convict
the thief. By this means he OBJ
tains all the proof and evidence the
owner of the stolen property may
have. then whether EMPLOYED or
unemployed, he goes to work and
blocks the game against the loser
Of the property.
Now, l unheatatingly say that
this man, I'll. A. Landreaux, belongs
to the clan of horsethieves, and that
| can furnish evidence enough to
convict him of one or more GRIMM
al offenses, and will do it if any one
will deliver him to the sheriff Of De
Soto county. l therefore notify
the public against this man, for he
is not a detective, and there is no
such association as he claims to be-
long to in Atlanta, Ga, and he is
not known in Memphis by the po-
lice.
Second-There is an extensive
clan Of horsethieyes, reaching from
the north tothe south, and from east
to west, in Mississippi, and perhaps
a great deal further. They have
headquarters somewhere in the
northwest corner of the State, and
somewhere in Pontotoo county; and
they also have stopping and places
Of exchange within twenty miles Of
Oxford, Miss, and thirty miles of
Oakland /; also, Calhoun and some
where west OF Sardis, Miss, and
Helena, Ark. Now, | call upon all
good citizens to keep watch out in
those directions for strange mules
and horses, and notice the descrip-
ton OF stolen stock, and perhaps
they may get Che reward. In CON
clusiOn, | would like to know what
the citizens of North Mississippi
viii do if the thieves are allowed to
go on. There have been ten mules
and horses stolen within seven miles
Of fernando since the first Deem
Der up to the first of April last.
Yours, COSMOPOLITAN.
This same individual, claiming to
be a detective, spent several weeks
around Austin. During his stay
here Calvin Perkins lost a valuable
horse, supposed to have been stolen,
and few days afterward Landreaux
appeared in a new and fine suit of
clothes. One fine morning he came
up missing, leaving his board bill
unpaid, and several other little
legacies to parties who trusted him.
We will know him if he comes
along this way again, and snatch
him, sure.
