must know the rule, while very strict, is
abrogated with impunity by some of the
most honorable associations in the country,
especially where xacing meetingssxe held
in connection With fairs. A case thst comes
to mindnow,is the ST. Julien Trinket race
at the Gentlemen's driving park in New
York, last fall, when Gen. Grant and other
distinguished citizens were invited into
and didioccupy the judges stand during
the race. The fact that the Gen
tlemen's Driving Park association
of New York, and other as
sociations of like character have violated
the rule in the past prohibiting such occu-
pancy, does MT, of course, justify any
other association in doing the same thing
but it can be advanced as an excuse for
President Norrish and his associates of the
Hastings association. No one acquainted
with the gentlemen connected with the
management of the Hastings association
will entertain the idea for moment that
there was any thought of wronss doing on
their part when the gentlemen in question
were invited into the judges stand, on the
occasion complained of by Mr.. Grattan
The gentlemen were the guests OF
the association for the day-one of its big
attractions, as were the pair of big prize
steers from the Lake Elysian stock farm
of DeGraff & Hopkins-and the asso-
citation simply desired to show them off to
the best advantage possible. and
for that purpose, without thought
of wrong doing as the GLOBE
believes, invited them into the judges
stand where all visitors could get good
view of the exhibit. So much for point
one.
As to the other point made by Mr.. Graf
tan that job was made up and success
fully worksd out through the inability of
the judges to properly watch the race
owing to the distractions in their way by
the presence upon the stand, we think Mr.
Grattan is partially in error. That job
was put up is undispnted. The writer was
present and saw the race, and easily de-
tected the job. So did the judges, and
promptly thwarted it,andwere prepared had
it been necessary to have gone much
farther than they did, to have checkmated
the jobbers.
But the formal complaint of Mr.. Grat
tan, if taken up by the National associa
ton and Investigated as it should be, must
| result in good. There is too much
laxity by associations in enforcing
the rules. It has taken years to bring the
rules to their present perfection. They
| have been formulated for the protection
of associations and to secure honestly con
Quoted races, and any deviation from
them by associations but opens the way to
and inevitably leads to fraud. Stick t.
the rules.

When it is taken into consideration thai
passed in this climate, all being bred and
raised in the south, and had not become
acclimated, and also the fact that those
left for duty after the early spring circuit
in this state, had to meet the kings and
queens of the turf -Clingstone, Edwin
Thorne, jerome Eddy, Black Cloud, Santa
Claus, Rosa Wilkes, Aldine, Kate Sprague
etc.-with nothing to start in the slow
classes. with the most skillful drivers in
the country combined to beat the stable,
the showing may well be considered most
encouraging.
Then of the stable of which much was
expected early in the season, viz: Lady
Rolf, Silverton and Fleming Girl, won all
told only 5000, which will not pay the
entries for Lady Rolfe through the
the grand circuit. She showed up in fine
form at Chicago, and at herself had her
class through the circuit at her mercy, but
unfortunately struck her leg at Cleveland,
and in her first and only start after pulled
up dead lame. So SO also proved dis
appointment, only barely paying her way
and really trotting but one respectable race,
that at Minneapolis against Union Chief.
There were also other disappointments,
details of which it is not necessary to go
into.
AS said above the showing of all things
considered is fairly encouraging. The
campaigners have all been returned to Mid
way and let up for the season, and it is
gratifying to know that no permanent in
jury was sustained by an animal. Since
coming back the shoes have been re-
moved from their feet, and all are allowed
to move out to grass two or three hours
daily. In due time, however, the work of
preparation for another season will COM
mence. as the comodore's colors will be
seen upon the principal tracks next year.

The Texas CentiDede.

This interesting insect is not so much
celebrated for its amiability of disposi-
ton as for its good looks, but, at the
same time, we cannot recommend it
either as parlor ornament or as toy
for child to play with, unless it is a
secondhand child that nobody has any
particular use for. Centipedes are OF
different sizes, but they are all made
pretty much after the same pattern.
They are made up of about one-third
sting, one-third bite and one-third gen
eral cussedness. They are casemated
with q shell that is as hard as the bark
of clearinghouse cranberry pie. The
length of the centipede varies very
much, but if centipede wants to get a
mention in the local paper, he has to
stretch himself out to about nine inches
in length. We have never read of one
that measured less. His body, which is
= succession of fiat joints, is not as broad
as some of the jokes gotten off by circus
clowns, being not much broader than an
ordinary mans finger. The centipede is
built on the iron-clad system, although
it dose not make quite as much noise as
the Englishfeet bombardirg Alexandria.
In fact, the centipede is not musical at
all, but if it happens to crawl over a
man it will make him very musical i'm
mediately.
Its head or bow, comparing it to an
iron-clad, is armed with a pair of pin
GERS, which, beside being as venomous
~ the editor of party organ, can bite
the end off an iron safe. Each side il
armed with about forty short legs, and
each leg is armed with sting like that
1 . wasp. The centipede terminates
in . pair Of hooks, which, like it's pin
sers, arc red-hot, so we have been told
BY m innocent young man who under
took to pick it up by it's stem. When
centpede anchors his head in the
Aeshy anatomy Of human being, throws
out his two graphing irons from his
rear, and then draws its eighty odd,
very odd, claws. together, it will bring
tears to the heart of an Irish landlord to
SEQ how tho little pet holds.
Tho bite Of the centipede rarely causes
death, but it makes the bitten party
wish he wore dead, for short time at
least, and leaves an ugly sore. The
statement that the bite Of tho oentipede

son, as there is quite prejudice against
it. For this reason it is very much Sc
c2uded in it's habits. living in retirement
among the rocks Of old buildings. Its
diet is believed to be insects that are not
as heavily armed and iron-clad. Why
the centpede was created in the first
place, and what good purpose it serves,
are profound mysteries to the ordinary
intellect.
