which Mr.. COLUMBUS SMITH, sangulnc
Yankee who made a business Of organizing
American heirs Of English estates hunting
for somebody to take them, long exercised
himself strenuously. Ho printed q report
about it in 1854, but though the preamble OF
that document" Whereas, Lord GEoRGE
WILLouGIBY and certain other WIL1OUGn-
BYs died In England, leaving real and
personal property to the amount OF some
millions of dollars reads handsomely
none Of our citizens Of the name have grown
richer for the WILLoUGHBy lands and bonds.
The entcrprising COLUMBUS SMITH also en-
ginccrcd the GIBSON, GRovE, and WILSON
claims, but though tho prospects Of getting
something out Of them were allurinR, the
money Is still all In England, and the clients
OF Mr. SMITH are out Of pocket. There was
the estate Of Sir JOHN Holt, who died in
1909, which the proprietor Of Hollis Hotel in
this city spent good money in the vain
effort to get. Ten years ago the BROWNS, OF
all others, held a meeting in Boston TO bring
over the principal and Increase Of seven mil
lions left 10y an English BRowN, which now
amount by careful estimate, to S2i5, 100000
BROWN scrip was issued and taken up to
pay the expenses OF getting this handsome
fortune. but SO far none Of it has swellcd the
bank accounts OF the BROwNs. The CHURCH
claim now amounts to about $4,000, 900. in
the Bank ~ England and S25 1000 In real
estate on tho Thames, hut it Is all in Eng
land still, though an effort TO get II was
started nearly quarter Of a century ago in
Boston-thc head centre OF the unclaimed
English estate business and has lately been
revived. 1t would be- hardly safe, however, to
lend the CHURCHES any money on the
strength of their expectations from the
Bark Of England and the river Thames.
One Of the earliest Of these claims Is at
this writing again exciting a great deal OF
interest among the JENNISosEs. who have
resolved to raise $4,000 to fetch it over from
England. The heirs, numbered by hun
drcds, hail from New England and from Nir-
gnia, and the estate il put at Sl10,OO0. 900.
The property. So the story goes, was left in
London by Virginia JENNINGS century
ago. and has swollen So enormously from
his original estate Of sl5O0O000 lawyer
is now packing his trunk for Liverpool to
lay hold Of the nice plum, and besides his
travelling expenses, which the $4,000 Will
pay. is TO get two per cent. commission on
the millions. At any rate, he will have his
European trip free OF cost to himself and
thus will enjoy the same good fortune
which has attended the other lawyers who
have sailed after the JENNINGS pot Of gold.
The summer. 1t will be seen, has been a
very remarkable and interesting one, but II
yet remains for most Of US to see n son ser
pcnt, to encounter boa constructor in our
rural walks. or to pocket the proceeds of a
vast English estate. Still, the wise man
bears the fate that comes to him without
repining, and struggles on for the goal OF
happiness, nothing daunted by reverses, and
unmindful Of his limited opportunities and
prosaic surroundings.

About Polo.

Our esteemed contemporary OF the Hcrdld
expresses his establishment that The Sun
should speak Of the game OF polo as having
come from England 1t did come horc from
England. Our contemporary does not ap-
pear to be able to ride his polo pony quite
straight. lie first leans over to one conti-
nent and at the very next step to another
continent II is on Indian game" lac says
and in the following sentence, with equal
positivcness, declares. II *, in fact. tie
American game OF shiny played on horse
back
The Herdh recommends the game Of polo
on account Of its cheapncss ponies used
costing but mere trnc.
II the ponies are so cheap why would it
not be n good way to get rid OF tramps; put
every tramp on polo pony, give the pony
a cut with a whip-with the permission Of
Nlr. BERGH, who approved Of whipping in
the navy and thus send the tramp out of
the neighborhood
Again, the labor rcformers protest against
convict labor being employed in the pro-
duction OF any article Of utility. Al the
same time IL would be cruel to keep prs-
oners in enforced idlcnoss. Why not build "A
large enclosure and set them to riding polo
ponies This would produce nothing to
come in competition with the products Of
outside honest labor.
