RICHBALL'S TRIAL TRIP.
The last attraction of the day was
the pace against the time of the cele-
brated horse Rjchbal, for d special
purse of $500, contributed by some of
the citizens ct Austin. Richballs
best recorded time is PIP, but some of
the best horsemen on the grounds
predicted, and bet. thai he would not
make the mile on this track in 2:20.
Their reasons for this were that the
track is for running purposes, entirely
too heavy for pacing, and that the
greater p rtion of it was in bad condi-
ton. 1t O claimed that the track Is
from six to eight seconds slower than
the eastern tracks. where Maud S.,
jay -Eye-See and other noted flyers are
recorded, and besides, yesterday, the
home stretch had to be travelled
in the face of a very
stiff wind. After jogging around
once, Frank Van Ness, who was driv-
ing, nodded for the word and away
the little PAGER went. The first quarter
was reached in quick time, but after
this his speed seemed to relax and
until the last stretch was gained it
was evident he was not fully down to
his work. He completed the mile in
2:25L. This was ii warming up mile
and knowing ones predicted that the
hest ii ne would be made On the next

first quarter in 81, the half mile in 1:IO,
ard without a skip and as smooth as
running stream went under the wire
in 2:2015. Turf experts pronounced
this performance, considering the
heavy track and other unfavorable
circumstances, as remarkably good
time. The third heat was failure, the
time being 2:311s. He broke twice

Third race-Trotting mile heats {;
three in five, free for all winning
horse to make one heat within 2:30.
Purse, $3.50; first. $500; second, $50.
Frank VanNess entered b. g. Harry
Wilkes.
Chas. Wagner entered b. m. Phyllis.
w. G. France entered b. b. Albert
France.
This race attracted a great deal OF
attention, from the fact that two of
the most noted trotterS IN the United
States were in it. Harry Wilkes has
a record, made on an eastern track, of
2:15. and being only seven years old,
this performance is considered SIM
ply phenomenal. His owner has re-
fused $4,000 for him, and says that
within year from now he will be the
fastest piece of horseflesh alive. The
mare Phyllis is owned by gentleman
living in Canada. She is a little less
noted than the horse Wilkes, having
record way down under 2:20.
Wilks is small bay, quick stopper,
and one of the prettiest movers ever
on any track Phyllis is large-frame
dark bay, with long stride and swift
movement. When Wilkes made his
bt ST time, 2:15. she was in the race
end came out just a5hind him, scarce
y a length. In the race yesterday
Wilkes won in three straight heats,
France being distanced on the first.
Phyllis behaved badly, broke several
times, and never did push the horse.
In the last heat Wilkes made the first
quarter in 80, the half mile in 1:7115,
and the mile in 2:20. This is regarded
as extraordinary fine work, some ex-
pert horsemen claiming that it is
equal to 2:14 on fast, trotting track.
Wilkes driver and owner says he con-
siders it equal to lowering of his
horses best record.

fact. The first heat Virgie Herne,

A hyHician's Revenge.

An old duchess on one occasi on re-.
auested DR.. Abernethy to pay profess
slonal visit az her house. Doctor went
az requested, and was introduced into
the drawing. room, where the duchess,
with tears in her eyes, showed him an
ugly little monkey, apparently In great
agony, lying on elegant cushions, and
almost buried in lovely laces. The doc
tor felt thoroughly disguised at being
called upon to act as monkeys doctor,
but ver6heless, through humanity, ,ac.
quilted himself conscientiously of the
duty imposed upon him. He felt the
monkeys pulse in silence, examined 1t
with attention, and soon recognized the
nature of its illness then, perceiving
the lady's grandson in a corner of the
dra wing. room rolling about on the car
pet, he advanced toward the child, ex-
arnined him also, felt his pulse, and, re-
turning to the duchess, said to her in a
grave manner, Madam, your two SONS
are suffering from Indigestion. BY drin
ing tea and living on a plain diet they
will soon recover" And, bowing pro-
foundly to the atnpetied duchess, the
doctor retired, avenged.

Closed Out Their Business.

During the past week or two business
failures have been coming in pretty
lively, some OF which have created
considerable excitement among busi-
ness men and fnanciers. In connec-
tion with these great financial failures
comes q novel assignment Of firm
who were engaged In business but .
few days, when they had to make
an assignment. The particulars Of the
affair are thus given by the Smyrna
Record Of Saturday last, and while the
account of the difficulty Is amusing .
good moral is contained therein
"a little over . week ago couple of
rather dudish looking town CANNES
formed a copartnership, and establish.
cd their headquarters at the Four Cor
ners. The avowed object Of the firm
was to tackle all strange dogs that
dared to venture within the sacred pre-
cincts Of the town. They had hardly
flung out their shingle before business
commenced, and for q few days they
found things decidedly lively and had
lots of fun.
"Their plan of action was something
like this
A carriage or wagon would come
down Main or Commerce street with a
well fed, contented. looking dog trotting
along under 1t, when all at once q sound
somt thing between the yell of a hyena
and the bray of maniac mule would
dissolve the quietness Of the surround
ings, and that dog from the country
would think that he'd been struck by a
cyclone.
"ln nine cases out of ten as soon as
he could recover from the first shock I,
he'd veer round and light out for home
az though he had received telegram
that there was o hog In the garden.
Then the firm would retire to the pave
ment and just hug themselves and haw.
haw But the other day an event oc-
Cured which sort o. cut all the haw
haw out the programme. The dudes
were anchored at their post as usual ,
looking for a job, when one of them
spied a Father sleepy looking yaller
dog trotting down Main street under a
dearborn.
They waited until he reached their
bouncing ground, when they suddenly
shot out in the centre of the street and
started the band. Their noise evidently
woke the old yaller up, and instantly
old yaller started in to wake the dudes
up. The dust hid the scene of opera
tions for few seconds. but when it
cleared away old yaller was discovered
standing serenely in the middle of the
street while the firm was crawling out
of the gutter on the other side, one OF
them minus half his right ear and the
other one trying to shove his LETT eye in
place. Old yaller turned out to be
"bull," and the firm has dissolved -
