IN MEMORIAM.

1t becomes our sad duty to an
nounce the decease, at late hour on
Saturday evening, of Horace H.
Boyers, late Alderman Of the third
ward, and citizen honofed and re-
spected by all who knew him. Al
derman Boyets had been in failing
health fer some months, but was able
to be out almost every day until with
in less than two weeks of his death.
On the 10Th he officiated as a men,
Der of the Election Board at the
special election, and this proved to
be his last days work on earth.
AS a citizen, Alderman Boyers
was honored and respected for his
devotion to duty; as a soldier, ne
was one of the truest and bravest of
the gallanr band who saved The Ma
tion in the dark hours of treason and
rebellion; as a public officer. he
was competent, honest and fearless in
the discharge of every duty as q
fraternal brother in the order ofO6d
Fellows, and United Workmen, ne
was efficient, sincere and ready si all
times to answer every call That de-
mande6 aid or sympathy, FOR suffer
ing Humanity; as a husband, kind
indulgent and loving; as a christian
he did under all circumstances as he
would be done by, and as duty di
rected as he saw his duty, is it tc
be wondered that when such a man
passed to the unknown beyond tht

Spirit Of the Times: II is nov fixed fact
that racing will be held at New Orleans
during the coming winter months. The
abandonment of the scheme by Mr.. Enge-
man last season was a source of general
regret to owners Of racing stables, and no
less SO to the public, for the Crescent City
has, from the earliest days of its history, q
leading turf centre. 1t was there where
Sallie Waters, Lecompte, Arrow and Pryor
won their greatest laurels, and Lexington
his imperlshable renown. Up to the period
of the late civil war New Orleans was quite
the Newmarket of America, and was the
first of the southern cities to return to the
sports of the turf upon the close of the
conflict. When Mr.. Engeman abandoned
the idea last winter, a number of bold
spirits came to the rescue, and held
meeting which is said to have been
marked success. Col. Simmons, president
of the Louisiana Jockey club, now an
nounces a winter meeting, beginning
Christmas Day. The programme includes
five stakes, the Christmas, for two-year-

Tonight the Margaret Mather company
will open weeks engagement at the
Opera house in ronnd of Shakespearean
characters and most successful and artis-
tie engagement is predicted. As it has
been some time siEce the talented young
acur--- appeared before the st. Paul public
the following extract from the Rochester
Democrat may bs read with interest:
The thoughtful observer can hardly fail
to be impressed each time with the re-
markable intelligence of Miss Mather's
acting, and the betrayal of scholarly at
tainments in her Interpretation of Shake
spearean parts. Very few, if any, of the
innovations are of a revolutionary nature,
but it is in lire here, aud bit of stage
hrsintss there. the expression
of the fa,, OR the
delicate emphasis OF a word which over
throws all preconceived ideas of the mean
ing OF the text, and unveils beauty and sig
nIficance which before had been unrecog-
nized. To the student her reading is a
charming revelation, and to the lover of
fine action she is satisfying to an extraor-
binary degree. Magnetic and self-uncon-
scious, she invests her characters with a
realism which is intensely fascinating, and
no doubt the better Judgment is often
blinded by rush OF sympathetic feeling
irresistably strong. This may sound like
exaggeration, rhapsody-indeed it does
sound like it-but those who have seen
Miss Mather the past week will require
considerable argument to convince them
that it is more tnan a plain statement of
facts, and the great majority would proba-
bly, express themselves II favor of even
more extravagant language, for her popu-
lar success has be9n unequivocal. In
mense audiences for seven consecutive
performances have cheered her as an
actress is rarely cheered in Roohester,while
the more discriminating minority have
shown their appreciation in more delicate
but scarcely less enthusiastic manner.
Since the opening night her engagement
haa been al unprecedented triumph, and
the week has been only a repetition OF
many that have passed, aid as We believe,
a promise which the coming months and
years will glorious faidll.
The engagement will open with "Romeo
and Jaliet," and no doubt, the charming
actress will meet with an ovation.

To the Editor of the Globe:
this day presented the following letter
to the managing editor and editor in chief
of the Pioneer Fress and requested them to
publish it, inasmuch as they had on a
former occasion, when they de-
ciinad to publish communion
ton from me, on the subject
of tina pine-land cases, assured me, that
whenever had any facts to present to the
public they would be exceedingly glad to
publish them. nevertheless, on present
ing and reading this letter to the
managing editor I was asked for''bonds'
to hold them harmless from prosecution
for libel. Immediately offered to furnish
s1ch bonds, in any sum they might require,
and with ample sureties. I was thereupon
informed that my letter must first receive
the approval of the editor in chief. To
bin submitted it. He informed me that
he could not in any case publish the letter
without first submitting it to the parties
named and implicated in il; that the Iron
compnny's enterprise was an important
one, etc, ETC., and that Marshall and Others
implicated ought, at least, to be given
an opportunity OF inspecting the charges
before they we're published and OF reply
ing to them simultaneously if published
and tLat Mr. Stone Of the Iron Company
(who is now absent in the Esst) should
also be consulted, etc. Even with these
concessions the editor-in- CHIEF would not
promise to publish the letter.
In plain English this means" I'VE will not
publish it, but we don't want to fatty re-
fuse"
Will you, therefore, be kind enough to
give my letter to the light in the columns
of Your fearless and Independent journal.
Respectfully, Il. L. GORDON.

Some days ago charge was made that
Minneapolis ticket agent of the Chicago,
st. Paul & Omaha road had sold ticket
for less price than was settled upon in
written agreement made by the Albert
Lea, the Milwaukee & st. Paul and. the
Chicago, ST. Paul & Omaha roads. An
affidavit YVES presented purporLing to have
been made by the purchaser OF the ticket,
saying that he bought it for less than the
price agreed upon. Mr., Teasdale. OF the
Omaha, presented counter affidavit made
by the agent who sold the ticket, fatty
contradicting the first affidavit above
named, and saying that he got full price
for the ticket. MIR. Teasdale, of the
Omaha road, OF this statement Of the case,
took the position that the affidavit pur-
porting to be made by tho purchaser was a
forgery, and demanded that the man be
produced SO that he could face the agent
of whom he said he bought it. As this was
not done, and as man is to be regarded
as innocent until he is proved guilty, Mr.
Teasdale argued that the case was not
made out against the agent, and that the
agents affidavit was just as good as that
of stranger who does not make his ap-
pearance. At the first meeting the matter
was not settled, but was referred to Mr..
Barnes, of the Northern Pacific, Davis, of
the st. Paul & Manitoba, and Mr.. Dodge,
of the 81. Paul & Duluth roads. Saturday
another meeting was held, and again no
conclusion was reached.

The cores pendent OF the Spirit Of the
Times had little conversation with the
drivers of Jay Eye SEQ and St. Julien,
from which the following extract IS taken
in regard ID the late race at Nav York:
Strolling down to the stables, between
the heats, We dropped into the pool rooms,
and were surprised TO see st. Julien bring
$50 to $40 for Jay Eye See. At the
stable we met Ocrin Hickok, and he looked
crestfallen.
"Weu," We remarked, chow is it?"
Il don'5 like it, said he. ''My horse is
not suited with the track. and he mads Il
bad slip on the hill"
Didn't you think you were entitled to
the HEATH"
"Yes;I certainly beat him out. and my
horse only made that ona short break, and
lost by it. But there is no use in making
any fuss, for 1 DO not think now l could
win anyway"
Bat your horse is the favorite in the
betting, still. just saw him bring $3.50
TO $40 foc Jay"
You don't say so," he exclaimed in
establishment, aud turned at once to con-
suit another party.
We found Bither with his horse, tbs lat
LSE as lreSu 6S q udlSJ.
"He does not mind it all you see," said
FL. Il feel quite easy, nov, as he doesn't
mind The breeching chafng him going
down that grade the FIST half. He fills the
sulky SO full with his powerful hind action
that his work on this track last spring got
the skin on his stifes very tender-that is
what caused him to break then--but he
has not made break since his race az
Buffalo, and you can't make him leave his
feet with any kind CT fair play"
"Many are Offering TO bet that st. Julien
viii lead him to the quarter every heat,
and that you VIII drive him of his feet
around the first turn in some of them" we
remarked
'Weu, they'll lose both bets. as he can
go that quarter just as fast and steady as
st. Julien. think I've shown in his ex-
hibitions that he can trot about as fast as
he likes the first quarter, and he didn't
mind st. Julien rushing by him on the
turn. You saw was with him at the quar-
ter, aud also at the half, but l let him get
away from me going up the hill, as felt
sure l would cook his bacon down the
home stretch. think there is not trot-
ter or PAGER on the face OF the earth can
live with Jay down the home stretch if
they start out to go a mile with him."
I'VE heardSa number exclaim, He's not
trying to wiR,' as you had the horse in
hand at the finish, aud some thought St.
yulien's head vas first under the wires"
We inquiringly said.
''It's always good fun to hear people

Dexter; or has ne ever tro5ted in a public
race since Bonner owned him? If SO how
long has it been sicce he has been in q
public race?
Answer-On the 14th Of August, 1867,
Dexter trotted, in harness, at Buffalo, N
Y, in 2:174. Immediately after this heat
Mr.. Bonner bought him. S nee he went
into the possession of 21r. Bonner he has
not been in any public race. When Mr.
Bonner bought him he made the purchase
subject to two or three engagements that
the horse was entered for. These were
trotted, but since these he has not been il
any public race.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1883-10-08

I could have beaten him farther, but he
swerved in tbs stretch and was sure judges
like Mr. Bonner and Mr.Alley wouldn't give
him the heat even if he beat me out. :"
SITS easy to start false report" he con-
tinued "Some days ago Mrs. Case was
told it was not meant for Jay to win. He
was always great pot with her and she
seemed to feel very badly at the thought
of his losing. I said: 4 never told you a
lie in my life, and when you see the race
I'm sure you'll be satisfied Jay and l are
doing our best to WIN She borrowed nc
more trouble but confidently told her lady
friends here that Jay would surely win"
Our conversation was now interrupted by
a stranger of the hypercriticai class, who
asked: "Are you not trotting him too
muchT'
"There it is again." SAID Ed, and, turn
ing to his questioner with you don't
know-what-y ou're -talking-about look, ne
added: my friend, there is probably nc
trotter of any account in the Circuit that
has received as little hard work. It isn't
hard work for him to rattle off heat III
II or rs, when the weather and track are
good. Then, only score him Up couple
of times before taking the word, with nc
fast work between his trots against time
Take this week, for instance, that such {
hullabulloo is raised about; he got mile
in 2:1715 one day and 2:1515 the next, jus
about as he liked to 60. Now, it looks to-
day as if he would haYe only three heat
not as fast as he can go. Is that as trying
work as Director, Phyllis, or other gooI
horses Rave been doing, pumped and driver
from end to end in races of broken heats
long scoring, and so On? and there is nj
cry about their being overworked"' $

Green operators and sleepy telegraph
editor make sad work of the news. Our
esteemed contemporary, the st. Paul
Globe, printed Sept. % the following dis
patch from New York:
''Ihe steamship Noting, from London, has on
board the famous race-horse Prince Charles,
recently purchased by Donnie Swigert, owner Of
Eludorf, late North Elkhorn Farm, Hughton,
Ky. Prince was foaled in France in $50, and
is by Blair and Eastern Princess. BY Surplier
out OF Tomyris by Seeostric."
The intention was TO say that the steam
er Noting Hill had on board Prince Char
lie, recently purchased by Daniel Swigert,
of Eimendorf, near Lexington, KY, and
that the sire of the horse was Blair Athol,
and his dam was Eastern Princess, by Sur
plice; I'd dam Tomyris, by Sesostris. The
night editor of the Globe should step into
convenient alley and kick himself until
the police command him to stop.

Some light on this subject, as Mr. Case
