Letters.
WAsHINGToE, April 25.-John A. Walsh,
the Star-route witness, to- day sent Chair
man Springer, of the House Committee on
Expenditures OF the Department OF JUS
tioe, the following letter:
SIR: In letter written YOU bys me
some time ago | respectfully suggested
that the Hon. ". +. Chandler, Secretary
of the Navy, be summoned to produce be-
fore your committee that letter written
him by the Hon. Benjamin Harris Brews-
ter, Attorney General, in which appeared,
as alleged by the accused, friends of the
honorable Secretary of the Navy, certain
structures relating to me. In the interest
of Justice and good government again re-
Quest that YOU summon the gentleman TO

tiers. | have also to request YOU to examine
the gentleman as to how he came TO receive
that letter, and whether it was not written
in response to his repeated solicitations to
the Attorney-G eneral. 1t is, perhaps, use
less to assure YOU that J have no desire to
destroy the robust efficiency CT the honor
able Secretary as witness Tor the defense,
but feel that in justice to myself, in jus
tiee to another gentleman, and for the
proper enforcement OF the law, 1t would
be well to enlighten the government and
people of the country SIS TO how 1t came
to pass that the honorable Secretary OF the
Navy became the happy possessor OF a
certificate of character signed by the At
torney- General of the United States. Very
respectfully, J. A. WALSH.

For the Milburn Purse, $500, of which
$50 to second, the distance being one mile
There were eight entrie nearly every one
having achieved constable reputation.
Princess, however. was the fayorite,
though several large bets on Anent and
Beaconsfeld were made. Brunswick and
Ferg Kyle appeared to be in excellent con-
dition, and sold considerably better imme
diately before the race than on the night
before. The list included Ament, Ferg
Kyle, Brunswick, Princess, Joe Bailey,
John Sullivan, Manitoba and Earl Bea-
consfield. The start was easily made,
Princess getting away under the string
about length ahead, with Beaconsfield
and Kyle bringing up the rear. At the
turn these positions had remained almost
unchanged, but as they swung around and
bore down upon the first quarter-pole,
Beaconstield made a tremendous bound
and took his place in the mid
die of the field. Princess was
running very smoothly, with Manitoba
a length behind, neck and neck with
Brunswick, Ament upon his flank. Just
before reaching the half-mile Manitoba
crawled up, leaving Brunswick in the
bunch, and managed to keep up an even
rate OF speed going up the hin, passing
Princess at the half mile, and leading her
about head for several hundred yards.
At this moment Manitoba looked like a
winner, and when Manitoba appeared still
slightly in the lead at the last quarter the
hackers of Princess began to feel exceed
ingly blue. Ament's jockey was pushing
him hard, and Brunswick was so far be-
hind the leader that his name was not
once mentioned. The final test of speed
was made coming down the quarter stretch
when Princess, by a few bounds, gained
the lead, and came in under the string an
easy winner, with Manitoba second, and
Ament third.

won by length, Dick Brown second,
Sorrel Dan close third, and Torrid Zone
distanced.
Second Heai.-Queen Esther was now
sold against the field, and in the books
odds were asked. Twenty to one was
wagered that Sorrel Dan would not win,
but several of the book-makers considered
Dick Brown so doubtful that they declined
to put anything on him, one way or the
other. The scalpers freely offered to buy
72S Queen Esther, so certain did they
think it that she would win. When the
drum tapped Twilight got good start,
with Fisherman close behind, Queen Es-
ther third, and Brooklyn fourth The two
latter lost very little time in passing
Twilight, and the flyers then paired off,
presenting rare picture of gay riding
party on a country road, the whip being
little used. Queen Esther and Brooklyn
ran even until they bore down upon the
turn, when Brooklyn dashed up, pushing
the leader hard. As they turned into the
quarter-stretch Brooklyn was seen to be
still gaining. Brooklyn took the lead
until within fifty yards of the string, when
Esther, by magnificent burst, dashed a
winner by half head, Brooklyn second,
Annie G.. third.

Milt Harry's Selling Race was an attract
i've one, nine horses being entered, as fol-
lows. Twilight, Fisherman, Brooklyn,
Annie G., Torrid Zone, Little Joker, Sor-
rel Dan, Dick Brown and Queen Esther.
1t was heat race, three-quarters OF mile
each, and Morris & Patton's entry, Queen
Esther, was decided favorite, the bets
being even in the books. Dick Browns
stasing power secured him a number of
liberal backs, but the books stood three
to one against him. Brooklyn sold very
well, and the knowing ones declared the
Tace. to be between that horse and the
Queen.
fHirss Hecf-bick Brown got AWAY frst,
closely followed by Fisherman and Sorrel
Dan. That the horses in this race were
not very well matched became at once
apparent after they passed the quarter
pole, when they strung out half length
apart, with Dick Brown first, then Queen
Esther, Fisherman, Brooklyn and Annie
c., rnnnipg in the order named, Che others
strung out behind them. A kaleidoscope
movement took place on the rise OF the
hill, Dick Brown falling back to fourth and
Sorrel Dan springing to the fore, the
Queen pushing him so hard that he was
obliged to give way. Dick Brown, before
resching the turn. began rapidly 70 re-
cover, and when the turn wss reached
ran neck and neck with Queen Esther,
Brooklyn coming up handsomely. Queen
Esther took on new life, forged ahead and
