The Year for FiIlies.

Tho victory OF Dutch oven In Wednesday, 8
ST. Leger cannot strictly be called a surprise,
even though the great odds of 40 to had boon
laid against her. Last year she was appar-
emily the best illly In England, and was con-
sidcrod to have tho Oaks ana other events OF
this year almost at her mercy. But she broke
down somewhat In carly training, and could
not win In any Of the races for which shc
her steadily Increased, until yesterday there
was plenty OF money 10 win for those who still
had faith I'm her. The question was never
anything more than simply whether sho could
uInphs betokened, and this was clearly posi-.
Bile. The favorite, Geheimniss, being second,
and the second fayorlte, Shotoyer, being third,
the singular spectacle Is Afforded OF all the
places In the ST. Leger being won by tlllles.
Taking this with the lesson OF the Derby, It IL
clear that 1889 will long DO remembered on
the English turf as tho year for Niles.

walked about like mad man, begging for tho
stun that had caused his trouble. large
drink was secured for him and he swallowed
1t eagerly. This only Increased his appetite
for alcohol, and did him, apparently, no good.
This young man, OF good family, presented
the whole story OF intemperance In manner
that the most eloquent orator could not hope
TO do. He Will probably be sent 10 jail to keep
him away from whisky In the cell next TO the
