MUTUALs THAT PAID HANDSOMELY.
The great attraction of the Brighton
Beach races Monday, WAS the renewal
Of the Twin City Handicap, and such a
betting race it proved that while the
average number of tickets sold in the
mutual boxes in one race is 1900, the
number in the race under notice was
1890 straight" and 1864 for place"
The result Of the race, too, proved the
greatest surprise that has been wit
messed at Brighton during the past
four seasons. or the ten that started
there were several well liked, notably
Ferg Kyle and Checkmate. But the
lowest weighted and least thought of
horse, Roy S. Cluke, proved the winner.
Only eighteen tickets were sold on him
to win, Of which it was said his owner
held five, while twenty-four tickets
were on him for place. Mutual
tickets therefore paid 1862 IS and
$15l S.

But" wc answered our machine serves
us nicely and suits Is wei, and We. do not

The agent, however. begged the privilege
of leaving one of his machines with us, for

The request was not unreasonable so We
granted it-but more to ohligc tho agent
than anything else; for really we did not
want the machine, and had not the remotest
idea OF buying 1t.
The machine once in the house, it was nat
ural that the ladies should look il over; they
did so, an! rs consequence fell in love
with it. They say that without the slight
IS, wish to dccry or disparace any other
machine, this, all things considered, is, in
their opinion, the most desirable one to be
had.
The rpshot Of the whole matter was that

Political.

An election was held in Maine for
State officers on Monday. The result
was decisive victory for the republi-
cans, having carried every county in
the State, save possibly one, elected all
four of their congressman and the gov,
ernor by between $1,000 and $4,000
majority.
1t is Blaine's state and state pride
certainly asserted itself and the result
should crafty Mr.. Blaine; it is certain
that the democrats will have difficulty
in extracting anything favorable by the
most ingenious comparisons.
In October, Ohio and West Virginia
vote for State officers and if they fol-
low the lead Of Maine, the influence on
the National canvass in November will
be immense, while a contrary result,
especially in Ohio, would more than
offset the good done Blaine's cause by
the victory of Monday.
