 On the 18th of the same month he made his last jump from the same spot, but from high platform, which made his total descent 116 feet. At the last min1to he brcarae t7ta1y TnneTved and overdosed himself with whisky; then took the leap in the presence of some 10000 spectators, turned in falling, struck broadside on the water with force esti- mated at 4.000 pounds, and was seen no more. The next spring his mangled body was found at tho mouth of the river and buried In the adjacent village of Char lotte, where a handsome monument now commentaries his virtues"
 A curious incident, well authenticated, Is related of the occasion. Among the spectators was MT. Gibbons, who had the bad habit of holding his thumb in his mouth when deeply interested. He was so excited by the leap and disappearance of Patch that he bit of the first joint of his thumb without feeling itl

BRIDGE JUMPERS.
They Have Existed Ever Since Bridges
 Have Been Built.

They Have ExlSteu EVer since DrluBcS
 Have Been Built.
 Ever since men began to build high bridges other men have occasionally jumped from them-sometimes in mad despair, as often for mere longing for no- toriety, and in many instances from a mere mad and morbid impulse which the jumper himself cannot explain. And, no doubt, this last motive explains many supposed suicides. Many man will freely admit that he is afraid to go on top of a very high structure, as he always feels an impulse to jump off, and fears that some day 1t will overpower him, and mountaineers often confess to a strange, wild longing to launch from the edge of lofty cliff. 1t would be so delightful" they say ito glide gently downward through the air like the birds, and they feel sort of confidence that they could do 1t. Perhaps this Is Darwinian "sur- vival" from the cosmic period. when our remote ancestors did fly; or perhaps it is a prophecy of the time when our de- scendants will. At any rate, most of US have had the feeling.
 Of bridge jumpers there have been many, and Sam Patch is the father of the tribe in the United States. He was an idle ne'er-do-weel about Paterson, N. J., when the first bridge was placed over the chRsm of the Passaic, and as there was much discussion among engineers as to whether the plan for sustaining the bridge would be a success, Sam backed his negative opinion with solemn oath "If they make that bridge stand there,

TROTTING AT DERBY.

AZ the Races-ProEramme For To.
Day.
A large audience was present at the Derby
Driving Park yesterday afternoon, when the
starting judge rang the bell for the appear
ance of the contestants for the prizes offered
for the $50 horses.
Many of the spectators were at the park
before the trotting commenced. Charles
Downs, the poolseller, and his assistants
were in the pool stand soon after dinner
ready to dispense the tickets to the betting
fraternity. Carryalls aud omnibuses arrived
with passengers. The one O'Clock train from
New Haven stopped at the park gate and was
relieved of almost its entire load of passen-
gers. The sandwich men and the man with
whips began shouting, and at two o'clock a
large and mixed audience was present. The
Phoenix band of Birmingham, which played
yesterday in place of the Ansonia band, rem
dered very acceptable and catchy music be-
fore the start and between the heats.
The races have attractions for the fair sex
as was evident from the large number of
ladies who were present yesterday. About
half of the number of spectators in the grand
stand were females and many ladies were oc-
cupants of the teams inside OF the half mile
track. Many of the ladies were attractive
looking and fashionably attired.
The horses who were to appear in the first
race were given little preparatory exercise
before the start.
Little Sam was the favorite in the pools
against the field. The six horses, whose
names appear in the summary, started in the
80 class, which was the first race called yes
terday. This heat proved that a horse does
not win unless he is first at the wire. Archie
c., who led the others soon after the start,
kept the lead without troting his fastest gait
to the homestretch, where he broke and fell
back to fifth position. Saratoga was first al
the wire.
Little Sam was the pool favorite, notwith.
standing he lost the first heat.
In the second heat Katie L., the New Ha
ven trotter, executed some fast trotting and
led at times, but finished fifth. Little Sam
won.
The horses made long procession in the
third heat with Katie L. a long distance il
the rear The pool favorite won.
The fourth heat was not close. Little Sam
won easily.

money, $62.5O, to Saratoga; third money,
