(Sham) would want to meet
DR.. Diamond was for years physician at tho
state prison in Auburn, and has been for the
past two years In charge of the state hospital
for the insane at Auburn. at both institutions
he had abundant opportunity for observing
not only lunatcs of the ordinary kinds, but also
and especially those accused and those convict
ed Of crime. He had seen while at Auburn
many men, criminals chiefly, who feigned in
sanity, and it has been his business to puncture
in each case the pretense. He testified to-day
that he had always been able to tell the true
from the false in these examinations. He
was therefore peculiarly vel! fitted to pro-
nounce as an expert respecting the present
case. He unhesiEat:ngly said to-day that from
a careful personal examination in the Jail and
he had reached the conclusion that the assas-
ain is. and was on the I'd day Of last July. per-

him very kindly. He interrupted him very in
frequently. and as he himself said, s'let Scovle
DO most of the talking" However he said
few things which gave opportunities for laugh

Once, during the tedious cross examina ton. he
lost patience with Scoville, called him stupid
fool" and congratulated himself and the court
on the probable accession Of Charley Reed to
the case on the morrow.
While the court waited for Corkhilrs witness
who was to confirm all that Shaw said,
Guiteau held forth on Whist he termed ''ths
biggest lie Of the century, the story of his
Wilkes Booth remark. That was q good lie
for you, Corkhill. Thai was worth $4,000.
Did you get that much, shaH? You ought to
have at least that. That is the most outrageous
lie ever heard" In the midst of his vitupera-

Fancy Value OF Fast Horses.
N Y. Corr. Troy Times.
The advance in the luxury and extrava-
gance Of the age is shown by the purchase
Of $50, 600 pictures, SIS, 900 set of diamonds
as we'll as in houses that cost $25, 900.
Why should not the same overweening
wealth be displayed ia $4,000 horse?
These luxuries are all Of class, and their
cost, in each instance, is mere trife to
man who can, at any moment, issue his
check for 100000 IF the reader inquire
how large number is included in this
class, reply enough to keep up the mar
ket to its present fanciful quotation. Con-
versing with leading man in this specially.
asked him the highest value set upon any
horse in this country. Fifty thousand
dollars, was the reply. My informant then
added hat he referred to St. Julien, which
at prese mt is the property of Hickok &
Morrow. Santa Claus, owned by William
Cole, is valued at 900, Foster Dewey,
who was at one time private secretary of
the notorious ring, values his Richard at
$4,000. Maud S. the property of Will
lam IA. vandeabilt, is valued by its owner at
$4,000, and reader, should you tender
your checks for that amount you might be
disappointed by refusal. Maud S. is at
present kept at Cincinnati, being still
under training. Her time is 2:l01-4,
which may be mentioned as the best made
on the American turf. The enormous value
of such animals is found on the race course,
where immense sums are won by some and
lost by others. Daniel Mace, who has a
training stable in Twenty ninth street, is
very successful trainer. and has also driven
in some very important trials Of speed. To
drive successfully on race course requires
great nerve, and at least three years pr ac-
tice. Tho fee is sometimes $500, to which
is occasionally added 10 per cent. on the
winnings. Such are some facts in con-
nection with racing-a custom which has
been on the increase for several years, not
withstanding it's demoralizing tendency.
