A Host of Careys.
New Orleans Tines-pemocrat.

Ill
The killing of Carey, the Irish in
former, ut Cape Colony, probably
saved the lives of half dozen or more
men. The day of Carey's departure
from London seems to have been gen
orally known by his enemies, although
there appears to have been some uncer-
tainty about his destination. Dis
patches announcing the departure
We're sent out in all directions, and
friends and sympathizers of the In
vincibles were warned TO watch for
Carey's arrival, and to give him a
warm reception.
On the day before his death, man
who gave his name AS O'Neil arrived
in Montreal, and was thoroughly iden-
titled as Carey. In face, figure, size
and appearance he was the informer.
and he betrayed himself by his look OF
fear when the word ''iAformerp was
mentioned. All the newspapers, all
the correspondents and reporters
were sure of his identity, and the fact
being published he soon enjoyed an
unenviabie notorety. Strange men
hung around him night and day, and
such threats We're uttered against him
and such violence attempted that
O'Neil had to call for police guard
to protect him, and retired into the
privacy of his room in the boarding
house, where he concealed himself TO
escape the mob.
On the same day of his arrival in
Montreal, another man arrived at
New York on the steamer Gallia, who
was clearly identified as Carey, the IN
former. He also found his condition
so intolerable and dangerous, that he
cndeavored to escape popular observa-
ton ry doubling on his track and went
To Balstan, Spa. thence TO Flushing,
and from one place to another, so as TO
put his pursuers off the track, but all
in vain.
Both of the supposed Careys were
watched and followed, and II would
not have been surprising If both OF
them had fallen victims to the fury
and vengeance Of the friends and rela-
tives of Carey's victims. The murder
at Port Elizabeth undoubtedly saved
their lives. The two American Careys

Special Contests at State Fairs.

The board of managers of the Illinois
state fair have adopted the stake plan for
this special event, with classes for age as
a rule, rather than previous performance,
as follows: 2 and under 3-years, $500;
and under 4, $500; and under 8, $500; 8
and under 6, $500; free for all, any age,
$780, stations that have made season of
1883, $500. In addition to these stake
events offered by the society, it is under
stood number of prominent gentlemen
of Chicago-where the fair is to be held
propose to raise from $4,000 10 $4,000
for what are generally known as turf per-
formances, these races to form part of the
state fair programme. The regular fair
purses will be divided so per cent. to first
horse, 80 per cent. to second and 10 per
cent to third. Entrance 10 per cent. The
fair will be held the week commencing
Monday, Sept. "a. The attention of the
managers of the Minnesota state fair is
invited to the Illinois plan of dividing a
portion of their classes upon age, and en-
tries to animals bred in the sts6e, adding,
say a free for all Minnesota stations, free
for all stations, pacing races, and one, two
or three trotting classes divided as far as
possible to suit state horses.

The Chicago Colt Stakes.

The 3-year-old and 4-year-old stakes an
nounced for this and next season, by the
Chicago Driving park, have filed. as Sec
rotary Hull telegraphs, with 'two hundred
entries to date. Nominations from New
England to California, and from Minnesota
to Texas" This is an average of fifty
to each event. With the added
money, the sums to be trotted for this
year will probably be between $500 and
$4,000, and next year fully $4,000, making
the prize one we'll worth striving for, to
say nothing of winning such an event.
AS yet only the names of few of the most
noted youngsters entered have been made
public, 30 we are unable to give the name
of the Minnesota representative or
representatives. There ought to
be several, however, and we shall
be disappointed if at least three have not
been named for next years events. Among
the names of entries made public are found
for three year-old stakes this year (the
Ashland), Orphia, Fugue, Kinda Rose,
Ruby, Elvira, Strathem, Early Dawn, Vic
torla Sprague and Lexington Wilkes, and
for four-year- old stakes (the Chicago, Con-
naught, Marlette, Butterfly, Algath, Eva,

The large circle of acquaintan ces of Mr..
Dan W. Woodmansee, travelling manager
of Com. N. W. Kittson's famous Midway
stock farm, scattered through most of the
states of the Union, will regret to learn
that he is being greatly afflicted with
alarming sickness in his family,
his wife, two young daughters and
a married sister visiting him, all
being sick. Mrs. Wood mansee and
the sister, are neither seriously i'll, but the
two daughters, one suffering from typhoid
fever and the other scarlet fever, have
been very sick for some ten days past, 80
sick the latter part of the week that grave
doubts were felt as to their recovery. We
are pleased to hear, however, that the
symptoms were more favorable Saturday,
Mr.. Woodmansee was in Kentucky when his
daughters we're taken sick, but returned in
answer to telegram some eight days ago,
since which time he has been in constant
attendance upon the bedside of one of the
sufferers, the different character of the dis
ease with which the two are afflicted max
ing it absolutely necessary that the attend
ants of one shall not be brought in contact
with the other, thus greatly adding to their
care and lntensifying the anxiety and
doubt. That the improvement noted Sat
ur6ay may be continued is seriously to be
hoped.

Louisville Wins the Prize.

The champion stallion stakes, offered in
1880 by Pierre Lorrillard, has been secured
by the Louisville Jockey club, which bid
the handsome sum of $1O,575, the only
other bidder being the Coney Island Jockey
club, with $4,000. The race is to be dash
of one mile and a half, for 3-year
olds, colts and FLIES, to be
run in the coming September.
In commenting upon the value of the
stake, "Albion" writing from Erdenheim,
under date of March says: There are
eighteen stations in nomination, at $500
each, making $4,000, and the Louisville
Jockey club adds $10,575. If there are as
many as twelve starters-it is two to one
that there will be greater number-the
starters will contribute $1,000, making the
event worth $22,325, exclusive of the win
ner's entrance fee. This sum will be
divided as follows, to-wit: To the owner
of the winner, 81, 537.50; to the owner of
the sire of the winner, $8,787.5O; to the
owner of the second horse, $1,000; to the
owner of the sire of the second horse.
$1,000; total, $22,425.
Thus it will be seen that this is q most
important event. 1t will give a promi
nence to the autumn meeting of the Louis
vile Jockey club that could not have been
secured for ii by unlocking its treasury
and expanding $4,000 in added money to
improvised and temporary stakes and
purses. 1t is the best investment the
Louisville Jockey club has ever made. The
actual profits to the club from this event
will be greater than the profits of the
whole meeting would have been had this
event fallen to the Coney Island Jockey
club. This is the plainest of all business
propositions, for it is palpable that every
three-year- in the country of the slight
est prominence, except Pizarro and George
Kinney, are eligible to start for this race.
1t is in the nature of post stake, and any
of the get of the eighteen stations in nom
ination can start. These eighteen stall
lions are certainly the most prominent in
the country, and their get, now three years
old, embrace all the cracks in the country,
with the exceptions named above, and
every man who has even a moderately
good one, will take his chances to win this
race. This is a reasonable conclusion, for
the terms to starters are unusually liberal,
being very little more than two per centum
of the money to go to the owner of the
winning horse"
The stations whose get are eligible to
this race are the Ill-used, Cont DOrsay,
Wanderer, Billet, Great Tom, Saxon,
Glenlyon, Moccasin, Tom Bowling,
Battle Axe, Highlander, Whisper, War
Dance, Glen9lg, Monarchist, Virsil King

see that Drs. Price and Lyford gave any
orders or directions to in regard to admin
ister1ng their medicines to the sick horses
at Midway, beg that you will allow me to
make the following statement: DR.. Price
says the first animal to die under his treat
ment was the brood mare Lady Fairfield.
He says the mare had been suffering for
over three weeks. Where the doctor got
his information l cannot imagine. Lady
Fairfield was one of the healthiest mares
ever saw, never having been sick day
In her life at Midway until the day she was
placed under DR.. Prices care. As soon as
the mare was taken sick Mr.. Woodmansee
sent me Immediately for the doctor and
when the doctor came he pronounced it a
case of collie, and so treated it until the
mare died. As for the doctor being called
only four times, heard Mr.. Woodmansee
request him to come every day, and if nee
essary twice per day, as We were anxious
the mare should live The doctor made
an examination of Lady Fairfield after her
death. He then made tho startling dis
covery that she never had the collie, but
worm had killed her. If the doctor had
diagnosed her case properly, perhaps
little worm medicine would have saved her
life. But when Mr.. Woodmansee asked
to see tie worm, he did not think it was
necessary to save it, although he acknowl-
edged it to be very rare species. As for
Fleming Girl having had any homeopathy
treatment, the Doctor makes a statement
that is positively incorrect when he says
shs was dosed with the homeopathy spe-
Cities (the quack's remediss) az the doctor
styles them. She never had any medicine
given her but such as was ordered by DR..
Price himself. Now in regard to the other
horses: One morning 1 asked hin the
prospects of the horses getting well. He
replied gloomy enough. He said, most
decidedly, that pleurisy had set in, and there
was already four fully developed cases,
and he wondered and could not account
for it. The above is a true statements of
facts, and l am willing to take my oath to
that effect. III. BALFoUR.
