certainly would hear fewer absurd stories
about this man and that man running the dis
tance in and something. OF late we have had
story after story about 10 seconds being easily
heaten in 100 yards. don't believe 1t.
Wherever these alleged quick times have been
made it is safe to say that something unduly
favorable to the runner existed. And so 1t is
with these extraordinary milers. Like the
sprinters, they are literally flying until they
then something goes wrong with their ankles,
shoes or something else. However, if the
track is in good condition for the McClelland-
Priddy race, expect to see very good time
made.
Turf Affairs.
Practically speaking, the running season of
1850 has ended. There are still some meetings
to be held yet, but pro badly with the exception
of the Kentucky Centennial races, these are of
little or no importance. According to reliable
authorities the racing season IN the East has
been remarkable for heavy betting and the pub
lie have been losers One authority states that
the bookmakers have also been losers, and this
may sound paradoxically. However, think it
is true and such things have often occurred. 1t
is possible and often probable for certain
stables to get almost all the money, leaving lit
tie for either the public or bookmakers. One
important feature has been noticeable during
the season on the Eastern tracks and that is the
competition among the various tracks. Each
track has been catering so expensively Tor pub
lie patronage that almost all are heavy losers.
We cannot expect competition OF this kind TO
continue. The weakest lust 60 to the wall. or
else an amicable arrangement among the entire
lot must be made. PRINGLE.

ers and at prices suitable to the parties directly
interested. President Day, who certainly must
be acknowledged as an authority on the matter,
has made statement to the effect that class
ifcation may be all right if it was lived up to.
But be adds that it is not lived up to by clubs.
Now, this proves exactly what l predicted
when the League meeting was held last year.
Logic and common sense inspired the opinion
that no rule for Limitation of salaries was worth
the paper on which it was written if the mag
mates did not desire to act up to that rule.
There was sound reason for such prediction, and
according to the opinion of Mr. Day it has been
proven true to the letter. Well, then, if moth
ing more is gained by the real or imaginary
Brotherhood scheme the fact that the reduc-
tion of salary notions is put to one side is a
great victory for the players.

Abont Foot Runners.

The proposed one-mile foot race between E.
c. McClelland and Peter Priddy has brought
pedessrianism before the local public again.
The race is for good-sized stake, and between
two well-known runners. McClelland is well
known, but his abilities as a mile runner are
not although have heard that he is running
extraordinarily fast; indeed, rumors-those O.
T. rumors-are current to the effect that he can
run mile in As or 4:26 OF course it is not
impossible by any means for this to be done by
human being; in fact much better time has
been made. But McClelland has never run a
mile race in public, and make the prediction
that the first time he does he will be consider
ably short of AS; and so will Priddy. 1 have
often watched mile runners, and champions at
that going a mile when the public thought
them flying" -Four minutes and 80 seconds,
or thereabouts, brought them up. Depend upon
it that man is putting of very little time
when he goes mile on am average track in 4:3O.
About three weeks ago Cummings won
the mile champion challenge cup
and 100 pounds defeating a man like Cannon in
4:2S and a fraction. The truth is that very
many people talk about time in foot racing
who have very little idea of it. If, for in
stance more was known about how speedy a
man has to be to run 100 yards in 10 seconds, we

The brotherhood Scheme.

Doubtless the public is somewhat weary of
reading and talking about the schemes and
rumors of schemes that the Ball Players Broth
erhood is alleged to be Matching. However the
question seems to be one of the leading ones in
the baseball world, and it is remarkable the
great amount of interest that is day after day
centered in it. After all am inclined to think
an opinion which have oft expressed in these
reviews is likely to be correct, viz that If there
is anything done at all it will not be until after
the League meeting. Some very intelligent
players. aud very prominent in the League,
assure me that there is nothing at all in the
alleged scheme OF schemes, and tnat the threat
of organizing league to rival the one now in
existence is entirely bluff. However
that may be, 1t is certain that
the bluff, II it is only a bluff is
having some effect on the minds of the mag
mates OF the League. We don't hear anything
now about reducing the salaries of the players
and last year at this season nothing else was
the topic. There is really no intention on the
part of the magnates to even introduce the
question Of lower salaries but on the contrary

.THE REFORM SCHOOL.
Why Ohio County Didn't Get the Lo-
cation,
SUPERIOR INDUCEMENTS OFFERED
By Prutytown Furnishes a Satisfactory
Answer.
4 FEW OF THE INSIDE POINTS.

The telegraph has chronicled the fact
that Wheeling did not get the location for
the proposed Reform School, and that
PruntytOWn did.
The why and wherefore has not been
explained, and it is the purpose of this
article to explain the deficit Ohio county
in common with about fifth other counties
sustained.
The reasonwo did not get the persimmons
is the same old story of the short pole.
In other words, superior inducements on
the part of PruntytOwn was the rock upon
which we split
Wheeling, as is well-knowD, offered 100
acres Of choice Ohio county land, or in
lieu of that, $4,000 in cash.
PruntytOwn, our chief competitor,
offered a good deal mora. Her offer in
cluded the free gift OF the Taylor county
court house, Jail and jailOr's residence,
with two and one-half acres Of land, and
in addition $1,000 in cash. Adjoining
the two and oae-half acres options were
obtained on 139 acres more, at q net cost
of $9,779 So, making total OF
1929 acres. DeductiDg the $1,000
cash offered from the value of the
land, the Commissioners got 1414
acres of lard, with buildings costing $780,
600 or $40 600, and estimated at a present
valuation of $4,000 or $4,000, for $4,-
779 50 net, which considerably oveloppsd
Ohio county's offer of 100 acres Of bare
land, or land containing at most dwelling
house and a barn. 1t was the belief of the
Commission that the buildings on the
PruntytOwn land could be adapted to the
purposes of the school at slight expense,
and made ready for occupancy in sixty OF
ninety days, and when this was taken into
consideration that in Ohio county the selec-
ton of the best trsct-the Kimberly farm
would inevitably involve the county and
the Commission in legal complications, it
may he easily seen how little chance Ohio
county really stood.
Still, with these odds against Us, Col.
FnDzheim, the Ohio county member of
the Commission, made great fight, and
only when it was plain we stood
no show, did he cast a deciding vote
in favor of PruntytOwu, rightfully
esteeming the selection of that point
would be of greater benefit to Wheeling
than some remote county in the interior.
PruntytOwn is only three and half miles
from Grafton, cOncededly the greatest rail
road centre in the State, aud as almost the
whole of Grafton 8 trade is with Wheeling,
we will get the commercial benefi. in the
end, or at least more of it than would
come cur way had any other of the vari-
Gus locations been chosen by the Com
mission.
The report Of the Commission will be
made up and cent 10 Charleston at once,
and the work of putting the buildings,
etc, in shape, will soon begin.

BOGUS CIGAR SEAL.

a swindIing X of L. Blne Seal Makes its
Appearance Here.
For some time past the members Of Gar
field Assembly, X. OF L have been aware
of the existence of bogus blue seal,
which is used by Don-union cigar manu-
facturers SIS a means of palming off their
worthless cigars. A number of merchants
of this city having been induced to pur
chase these cigars as the product of union
shops, the officers of Garfield Assembly,
desiring to protect their employers and
the public against imposition, obtained
one OF the bogus eeals, of which the fol-
lowing is description:
THE BOGUS SEAL.
This bogus seal is two and half inches
in diameter, and is printed with dull
dark blue ink on white paper. A circle
surrounds the main seal from which it is
separated by white liue), on which ap-
pears the words "Issued BY Order Of the
Executive Board, " and the initials &c. S
T." The seal bears in its center in large
letters *. Of L e" between which in a
triangle surrounded by light circle IS the
word "of and below this is the Mono
gram &C A." on the line of the circle.
Above the large letters appear the words
Cigar Understands Mark Reg
1880, and below the monogram are the
words, in written characters, Frederick
Turner" and ''of America The letters
all appear in white. This seal Is wei
printed and admirably calculated to de-
ceiye the unwsry.
THE GENUINE SEAL.
In order that everybody may be on their
guard against this fraud, the following de-
sc1iption of the genuine seal is given: This
seal is smaller than the other, being two
and one.eighth inches in diameter. 1t is
printed in bright blue ink on white paper,
and bears on,its outer edge, blue letters,
the words "Cigsrs herein contained are
made by Union Northumberland L. A.
No 1721.u In the centre are large letters
TX. L. with the word ''Of' in small let
ters between them. Above these letters
are five stars, and below the words Trade
Mark" Around this central sesl, in large
letters, are the words Wheeling, West
Va. Cigars" All the lettering except that
on the outer circle is white.
A glance ia sufficient to discover the diff
ference between the two seals, and nobody
except the most ignorant need be deceived.
The COlOrs are decidedly different, and the
customer should see that he gets his cigars
from a box bearing decided blue Seal. "
