HORSE TALK.
Predictions on the Results Of To-day
Races.

y
Races.
The fields at Jerome to-day, though not
as large as some days promise several
close finishes. The usual half-mile dash
for two-year-olds opens the programme.
I'm the race Thursday, which Buffalo won,
the Glendy-Peru colt broke away several
times and each time ran half the distance
before he could be stopped. fhc is well
ridden to-day the race should be between
him and Rock and Rye.
Sam Brown has shown such remarkable
form and speed lately that at the first
glance the mile and a-si fifteenth looks like
n good thing for him, but he has to carry
1l5 pounds, eight more than he has yet
carried. Punka is in at 80 pounds, and il
well ridden will prove pretty near the
winner, Richard l.. is also in light, which
Just suits him.
For the Belmont Stakes for three-year-
olds several Of the Withors rivals meet
again. The Dryers are evidently salts
fed that Richmond is not quite fit for the
company, 50 he viii probably be kept for
light handicap. The Dryers arc very
weak in three.year-olds this season. Ty-
rant will start favorite to-day. but as Me-
Laughlin will ride 1ecumseh, and the
latter has had full time to recover from
his hard work here and at Baltimore, and
Journey ON, il looks rs though Little
fields young badly would about win,
with a close finish between the two
named and ST. Augustine.
The mile and three-sixteenths looks a
good thing for Marklapd. If anything
can beat him, il is folu, at 80 pounds. 1t
probably lies between the two, though
GiTuilc is liable to run strong.
The fifth race will probably he won Ivy
Wandering despite the fact that frcegold
has won three races in succession. The
latter will probably finish second, though
old CIRCLE might SEE there, or the speedy
Judge Griffith.
In the stceplcchasc probably half OF the
horses Will be scratched. If Jim McGowan
is in ii he ought to win, with Charlemange
second. McGowan is in better trim than
any of the jumpers, and Daily says he is
as fast and can go rs far as the old jim.
He is not quite as good Il Jumper yet, but
that comes with practice.
At ST. Louis the first race should be won
by Modesty, with Loftin second, It's too
hard work picking the twO-year-uld race.
The Missouri Derby should fall to Bierson,
with Trollbadour or lizzie Dwyer second.
The last race should fall to one of the
light-weghts either Whizgig or HaZaras,
with Tom Martin well up.
Baseball.
The Nationals are fulfilling the predic-
ton made in THE CRITIC that they would
win at least four out of their five games
this week. There is hardly any doubt
but that they will win the one to-day
which will give them clean sheet for the
week. They are evidently getting down
to hard work. Two games without II
single fielding error in one week is thing
to be proud of.

Leroz, the gambler, who died here last week,

wealthy and beautiful woman. He treated
her badly, and she finally left him, running
away with man greatly her senior, by the
name of Mainwaring pronounced Manner
ing) who was self-made man, rich but IN
educated They are supposed to have gone
East. Leroz remained in possession of
his wife's fortune. But it seems that before
marrying her he had committed forgery for
q large amount and his wife had documents
in her possession proving this, and used
them to force him to pay her the income Of
her curate. 1t may be remembered that a
lady by the name of Man nering was mys-
teriously murdered in New York some years
ago. From certain evidence in the hands of
the authorities, there seems no reason to
suspect that Leroz may have been the muir
derer. 1t is certain that for long time after
the date he was in the enjoyment of ample
funds. At all events good story might be
written on the subject, and we make a
present of the idea to the Coming Novelist.

ARMY HONOR.

The Small SALARIES and Rapid Lives of Of
tcers Stationed at Washington.
Washington Cor. New York World.
So called army honor is myth. That is
to say, there is no higher sense of honor
among the army officers as class than there
is among people of equal education and po-
sition in other occupations of life. 1 doubt
if there is as much. Army officers are
placed in a false position through the atten-
ton paid them by society. A second lieu
tenant has 81, 400 year, first lieutenant
81, 900, that is if he is mounted. An I'M
mounted first lieutenant gets $1,000. A
captain not mounted is paid 81, 800. A cap
tain mounted has $4,000. A major is paid
50, 500, lieutenant colonel $4,000, colonel
So, 500. 1t is only when you reach the rank
of brigadier general that the pay of a senator
or member is reached. A brigadier general
is paid $500, major general $500 and a
lieutenant general 81, 900 per annum.
There is no one can live comfortably in
Washington and keep house and maintain
any sort of social footing on less than S.
900 a year, and in such a case as that the
most rigid economy would have to be prac-
ticed. 1t would not be possible to do any
entertaining. Ten thousand dollars year
would not do much more than give one a
modest position in the list of those who en-
terrain.
The rates at all of The hotels in Washing
ton are high, yet it will be found that officers
whose known pay is not large enough to pay
any regular board bills at the hotels always
live in such places, and it has never been
discovered that they deny themselves any of
the comforts or Injuries of life. 1t has al
ways been mystery how lieutenants with
salary of 1925 month or captains with $50
a month can live in Washington as they do,
even when they are single, but when many
of them support families into the bargain
and have no rich relatives back of them, the
marvel still increases. Nearly all Of the
army men belong to a number Of club.
There is not an officerin town that does not
belong to the Army and Navy German clubs,
This gives number Of entertainments dur
ing the season. The assessments must take
at least one months pay during short So
cial season. A number of the officers be-
long also to the Metropolitan club. The ini-
tation fee here is $50 aud the actual dues
are $50 more. Cards are played for stakes
at this club and those who regularly visit the
club would hardly expect to avoid spending
50 or So each day, at least in the way OF
refreshments or moderate amusement.

Another retired senator who would be willing
to serve his country farther is''Cerro Gordo"
to the scenes which gave him his title, to be
most of the Kentucky delegation, and of
senators with whom he has served for
six years. He is big-hearted. guile
less old fellow, easily imposed upon,
always giving to men who pretend to be ex-
soldiers or something of that sort, but hot
as must be the case with one who gives
freely. He had occasion, not long since, to
prosecute fellow in the police court here for
imposing upon him with story of war ex-
perlences which were entirely untrue. ''Cerro
Gordo'' will have pretty hard fight if he
gets there, for there is large number OF
candidates for the place.
Of course everybody knows that Phil
Thompson is a candidate for the internal
revenue commissionership, place which
pays $4,000 a year. Ex-Delegate Curry is
said to be candidate for the governorship
of Arizona. Ex-Congressman Talbot wants
to be assistant postmaster general, at a salary
of 50, 900, so does ex-Congressman Steven
son of Illinois. Ex-Congressman Sparks of
that state wants to be commissioner OF the
land office. Ex-Congressman Murray of
Ohio would be content, it is said, with a
$500 place in the treasury. In fact, it
appears that the average ex-congressman is
never happy unless he holds some office,
even if it pays no more than bare living.
