Successes of Haggin's Stable the Past

Successes of Haggin's Stable the Past |
Season.
NEW YORK, December 7th.-The World |
says Few owners in this country. or any
other country, have made their debut on |
the turf with the winning eclat Of B. A. |
Haggin. Mr.. Haggin, although a resident |
OF this city, was represented by stable of
horses bred in Kentucky, Tennessee and |
California, but which had wjntered on the
Pacific coast and which arrived East about
the middle of April. with a reputation that
at least one of the string was prepared to
do battle for the sWithers and Belmont
stakes against all corners. The stable had
for its trainer w. Claypool, whose quiet
and reserved way of talking was not alto
gether liked by the critics. who apparently
have monopoly of the secrets of Jerome
Park trainers. Claypool did but little with
his horses except giving them long walks
with an occasional slow gallop, and many
doubted If he really meant to start Tyrant
Tor the Wlthers. Just before the meeting
began Claypool gave his horses a few rat
| ting gallops. The result was that Tvrant
was sent to the post on the opening day of
the Jockey Clubs spring meeting in
! superb condition, being well ridden by the
California jockey, Duffy, who won with
| the greatest ease. Soon after Claypool
started home for California, he picked up
at Chicago the largest lot of yearlings ever
bought by one owner, many of which no
| doubt Will be seen next year both at the
Eastern and Western meetings.
A Disoreditable bubble.
PHILADELPHIA, December 18th. The Times
III its leader says: General Beauregard,
who, with General Early, barriers his name
ana few hours work each month to a
certain lottery company for a very large
| n laIr ~ H.
Times of November 26tL, reminding Gener-
ais Beauregard and Early that the grand
prize OF $4,000 of the drawing of Deem
Der Is, 1883, although published as drawn
by ticket No. 1907, part of which ticket was
sold in San Francisco, was not drawn at all,
and was never paid. Beaurcgard admits
that his name is used, with that of General
Early, TO certify to the drawings but he
dlsclaimed responsibility for the foot note
added by his employers, giving the location
OF the supposed drawer. The excuse of the
foot note is a discreditable bubble. If
Beauregard and Early were determined to
maintain their self-respect, they would
have ended the foot note fraud long ago
No information of the fraud would have
reached the public at all, but for the fact
that a suit in San Francisco compelled the
manager of the swindle to testify to the
truth in Court.
DisgracefuI Scene at an Execution.
LOUISVILLE (Ky.), December 7th.-Joe
Early, the murder of Leander Lawson. was
hanged this afternoon at Williamsburg
Ky, in the presence of 900 people He
was resigned to his fate, and said he be-
lleved the Lord would forgive him. He
assembled to the scatfold without tremor
Some of the crowd were very drunk, and
laughed and joked, and great many of
them tried to climb upon the scatfold. The
guards pushed them back, and then threats
to tear the scaffold down were made. In the
row two shots were fired. The second
struck Alice Sharp (colored) in the head
making bad scalp wound. The woman
screamed. and for a time there was great
excitement. When order was restored
Early was asked if he had anything to say,
and he replied: mo, l am ready when
you are" The trap fell and Early was
dead in 20 minutes from strangulation
The crime for which he was hanged was
committed some months ago. He went
into a school in which Lawson was teach
ing, was put out, and returned and shot
Lawson dead.
Saturdays Wind-Storm.
, New YORK, December 7th.-The wind
storm of Saturday night was severe in
Camp Grant. 1t was one of the heaviest
gales that has been experienced by the
guard since it was stationed at Riverside
Strong gusts penetrated the only tent which
is now standing in the camp and soon re-
duced the flies to ribbons. The barracks
and officers quarters stood the assault bet
ter, but the repeated attacks began to have
some effect. The buildings are frame made
IN sections and bolted together. By mid
night Leutenants Robinson and Ridgeway
discovered they were in danger of being
carried off the bluff into the river. when the
whole command turned out and ropes were
passed over the officers quarters and then
fastened to posts driven into the earth 1t
was found that the roof of the barracks had
also been sprung by the winds and it was
I with difficulty made secure.
