RhPLOYMRyr-0PFIcE FRAUD.
There we're from twenty TO thirty girls
waiting and / interviewed all whom the
proprietor thought likely to fill the place.
Only one was willing TO go.
Have you reference q l asked.
"bhe has Just landed, madam, aud so
hasn't city reference" put in the pro-
prietor's wife.
l was not sure that the girl would suit
and said I would consider her. Next
day | talked with her again and she
said ~ think I don't want to go L
don't want to go so far dDdy."
Why, Sarah" said the proprietor,
encouagingly, you've been so long in
New York l should think you'd be glad
OF change" / pricked up my ears.
How long have you been here "
1.-TWO or three years." she replied,
taken off her guard.
Any place outside of New York. AS
q rule the house laborers OF New York
are foreign born and know no more Of
America than the ancients did, beyond
the city limits being TO them bowling
wilderness.
The housemaids OF New York are not
looking for country situations, and will
not take them under persuasion. Their
objections are practically uniform, and
show that they regard being away from
New York as being in Punishment. 1t
seems short sighted for girl to refuse
good home in the country for precs-
rious hand-to-mouth life in the metropo-
lis. and doubtless theorists will be 10th
to believe it possible.
THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
Before two weeks have passed the
Brooklyn handicap, the first Of the great
future events to be decided in the vicini-
ty of New York, will be run and won
over tho Brooklyn Jockey Clubs track
at Gravesend. and the public will know
all about the event and how it was run
from the start 10 finish. The race WAS
never more open since its inception
than this year, and spectators have
any number OF good horses to choose
from, and a fair chance to land their
bets at long odds. The Bsrd's victory
last year was anticipated IN a measure,
and to was the very best figure that
could be obtained against him when the
horses went to the post for the race. He
had the race won after three quarters OF
a mile had been traversed, and 1t is
doubtful whether any horse this country
has ever seen could have lowered the
colors OF the son OF Longiellow on that
occasion.
THE BARD IN TRIM.
The Bard, with the rest Of Mr.. Cas-
salts string, is now at the Chesterbrook
quarters at the Sheepshead-Bay course,
where he will be given the finishing
touches for the big race. Heis all right !;
his injured leg, which was responsible
for his defeat in the Freehold stake last
year by Firenzi at Monmouth Park,
having been entirely cured by the judi
cious treatment OF Trainer Higgins. 1t IS
more than broadly limited that Mr.. Cassatt
has strong hope of winning the Brook
lyn again, and it may be the battle
of last year over again between Hanover
and The Bard. Hanover is moving miles
in AT st Gravesend and all doubts as
to his leg standing training have disap-
peared. Mr.. Phil. Dryer eontended
last spring that Hanover could always
down The Bard at even weights when
both we're fit. He is in receipt OF Six
pounds in the Brooklyn and time will
tell the tale. Prince Royal, MIR August
Pelmont's nailing-good four-year old,
IS said to be doing great work, q
mile in 1:46 being credited to him.
When the weights for the Brooklyn were
made public in February snapper ."
Garrison, who rode the Prince in nearly
all his winning races last TALL and who IS
under contract to ride for Mr.. Belmont
during the coming season, anxiously in
quired what impost Secretary Mcintyre
had allotted him, and upon being told
100 pounds he became quite jubilant,
announcing he viii win it beyond a
doubt.
