BECK WAS EXCITED,
How He Internationally Threw a
Great Race,

GfeaC race
Just previous to the final race at the
Ivy City track the last day of the meet
ing last week, Senators Blackburn,
Eustis and Hampton entered the pri-
vate room of the jockey club at the
track to partake of the liquid and solid
hospitality provided by the manage
ment. The talk was naturally about
horses and racing, subject with which
Blackburn, with his Kentucky training,
is more familiar than the tariff.
''They've got Beck in the Judges
stand for the next race, | see," said
Senator Blackburn, as he deftly mixed
whisky sour for Senator EustiS. 81
remember once when there was great
race on the Lexington course. 1t was
mile heats, in which AleXander's great
filly and promising colt from LeXing-
ton were in the race, together with half
a dozen other horses. | was in the
judges stand and Beck was appointed
distance judge. 1t was terrifically ex-
citing race. AleXander's filly and the
Lexington colt made the running, and
it was death struggle down the stretch.
Everybody was wildly excited. The
horses came down the stretch neck and
neck. The vast crowd stood up and yelled
iIhC 4AC ClOSCuCSS VI UllC lii
ish was marvelously exciting. Every
body was yelling and throwing their
hats in the air. The crowd danced like
tendS and Shrieked like derviSheS. Beck
was carried away with the excitement.
He threw the distance flag into the turf
and joined in the general yell for the
Lexington horse.
when the heat was finished the
jockeys on the two leaders and their
owners came to the judges stand and
asked how many horses had been dis
tanced. They said they supposed none
had been shut out, as the flag had not
dropped, Then there was big protest
know that four of the horses had not
got inside the flag, and one of them had
been diStanced by 800 yards. After con-
siderable wrangling, it was decided to
send for the distance judge. So Beck
was sent for and asked about it.

may cashier me, or hang me, OF rule me

and threw it away when l saw the mag
nificent finish.

burn, that all the horses were allowed
a start in the next heat.
''Beck swore that he would never go
in the judges stand again, but I see he
must have forgotten his Lexington ex-
perience."

TWO ROYAL BREAKFASTS.
What Man May Eat in Differ.

" nat MAN May Eat in Differ
ent Chimes on Rising.
For breakfast man eats Sally Lunns
IN England, orange marmalade in Ed
thorough, sleeps head and oat meal
pOrridge everywhere in Scotland, roast
potatoes in ireland, frogs in France,
picked herring in Holland, sauer-
kraut in Germany, pepper dishes

Britain the natives consume heartier
food than under our sunny armament.
But it greatly depends on habit and
mental conditions. An ordinary break
fast set before Queen Victoria consists
of oatmeal porridge served in blue
bowls, of which dish she is very
fond and of which every one
present is expected to taste; steak, cold
rump steak pie, cold CANNON of
bacon, boiled eggs, Scotch scenes,
brown bread, honey, coffee and kind
OF cocoa specially prepared for her
majesty. Who can doubt that the heavy,
stolid, sorrowful mental condition of
the queen affects her appetite? 1t is

dishes at the same meal, but her tastes
are sufficiently indicated. A lighter,
brighter, more cheerful and versatile
temperament would revolt from such
proponderance of solid food.
Ne such amount or kind of nutrition
can be needed by one who takes little
exercise and uses little mental eXertion.
1t does not differ greatly in quality
from that of Queen Elizabeth, who par
took of fine wheaton loaves, ale, beer,
pottage of beef and mutton, rabbits and
butter in great quantities. In one of
her Journeys through England it re-
quired three oxen and 40 geese to fur
nish Sunday morning repast for the
brilliant queen and her retinue.
Yet there was then much excuse for
hearty food. There were neither stoves
nor modern conveniences for diffusing
heat, and greater stores of carbon were
required. Many of our vegetables were
undevelOped roots or tubers, and a crude
civilization demands and enjoys food
both coarse and hearty.
How different this from the coffee and
roll of the mercurial Frenchman, whose

Gen. Grants Memoirs.

New York Tribune.
l had a chat the other day with Col.
Frederick d. Grant in an uptown place
of resort concerning the result of the
publication of Gen. Grants memoirs.
The total amount received by
Mrs. Grant up to the present
time as her share of the profits
has heen S411,0 200, and 10000 sets of
the work have been sold. But for the
rascaiity of a few agents and large pur-
chasers, Mrs. Grants share of the pro-
fits would have been about $3.50, 900. One
man who bought $4,000 worth of the
books failed in business and effected
settlement with his creditors at 10 cents
on the dollar. Another purchaser of
10000 sets has been dilatory in
his payments and great difficulty
is experienced in bringing him
to settlement The sale of the
memoirs" continues steadily, but only
a small income is derived from that
source at present, as most of the sales
accrue to the agents who took large
numbers of the work, and still have
copies on hand from which to supply
purchasers. 1t will be a year or two
before the sales again become large
enough to make considerable income to
Mrs. Grant.

Epigrammatic Ingersoll.


Col. Ingersoll has become famous for
coming popular phrases and framing
epigrammatic sentences. His reference
to Mr.. Blaine as ''the Plumed Knight -
when he presented the name of
the Maine statesman to the Re
publican national convention in 1876
was at once taken up by the
party, and became rallying cry for
them when their favorite was nominated
eight years later. Col. IngersolPs
eulOgy upon Roscoe Conkling shows
that he lost none of his originality. One
of the gems of that address is the SEN
tence: HE had the pride of prince and
the fortune of peasant" Another is
the distinction between pride and
vanity. The orator admitted that
Conkling was proud, but declared
that he was not vain. He con-
tinued, VANITY rests upon the
opinion of others-pride ON our own.
The source of vanity is from without
of pride, from within. Vanity is a
vane that turns, willow that bends
with every breeze-pride is the oak that
defies the storm. One is cIoud-the
other rock. One is weakness-the
other strength" This is worthy a
place among the utterances of the phil
OSopherS. The distinction is logically,
clearly and picturesquely drawn.
