by Experts.
The Ananias Club had pleasant meet
ing at the Police Station last night.
at was on the blood-stained field of
Gettysburg" said Sergeant Wheatley,
that | saw most remarkable occurrence.
A member of my company had his right
leg taken off by cannon ball. He was
taken back to the hospital tents. The
shattered member was nicely trimmed,
and as an experiment the leg of another
man was pat on to that stump. Would you
believe it, gentlemen, but that leg grew to
the stump and that man to-day has two
sound legs, save that his feet are no:
mates.
During the famous strike of 1876,
when it was impossible to take train out
of indianapolis without police protection,
remarked Captain Colbert, :" and had a
wonderful experience on one of my trips.
We were going around the curves sixty
five miles an hour. Right ahead of us on
the track was big blue-racer snake. The
varmint would throw his head up every
few minutes and look back at me in such a
tantalizing way that | got mad, and |
made up my mind that would catch that
snake or make him leave the track. l
told the fireman to throw in the coke. and
then pulled her wide open.' Gee-sortt..
how we did run. could hardly keep nv
seat, and the telegraph poles looked like a
fne-tooth comb The snake saw that
was bound to catch him, and near Fort
vile the snake jumped the track. He ran
into pool of water and blew into thou
sand pieces. He was SO hot that when he
struck the water it caused the explosion.
In the spring of 1850 shipped as an
ordinary seaman on board the New Bed
ford whaler None Such for three years
cruise" remarked Sergeant Andy Sewers.
"We had been out about four months,
meeting with poor success when one day a
storm came up. We had been expecting
it, and consequently were prepared, but
our preparations were all for naught, for it
was storm of the most terrific kind.
Billows mountain high dashed upon us,
and our craft was tossed into the trough of
the sea like cork in an eddy. The rud-
der was torn away, one of the masts fell,
| the water reared in torrents through the
scuppers, and then, all of sudden, the
ship settled on her beam ends, lunged for
ward, and settled in a hundred fathoms of
water, every soul on board going down
with her"
How did you escapeY breathlessly in
quired Sergeant Bruce.
Didn't escape. | was drowned with
the rest Of the crew." sighed Andy.
Then the club arose as one man and
presented Sergeant Sewers with wreath
of sour dock Indianapolis Ners.

Modern ROYAL Road to Fame.

Let 1t be remembered that there are
three component parts in dramatic ex-
hibition the author who writes, the actors
who represent, and the public that re-
ceiyes and appreciates. OF these three the
public is, in the estimation of the artists
the most important. And, indeed, it was
SO, when it exercised freely its powers Of
appreciation, and thus brought forward
the great dramatists and the great actors
whose lives were ended when the pres.
undertook to Judge for the masses. In fact
1t exercises no such universal sway, but the
players believe it does; the dramatists re.
luctantly are led to believe so, too. fol

arrived at the race track, Sacramento, on
Thursday, with his string which is to make
the Eastern campaign. The writer was
one of the first to inspect the stable, which
includes no less than three Derby candi-
dates. The string is made up of the fol-
lowing race horses:
Don Jose, Joe Hooker-Countess Zicka.
The Gar, 8, Norfolk-Marian.
Barham, 3, Norfolk, dam by Monday.
Haskell, 2, Norfolk-Addie O'Neil.
Barrett, 2, Joe Hooker-Countess Zicka.
Rascal, 2, Joe Hooker-Mattie Glen.
Joe Courtney, 8, Joe Hooker-Abbie w.
Ell Rio, 2, Norfolk-Marian.
This stable will leave for st. Louis on
the Sth of May, and from there they will
go to Chicago. Don Jose must be fully Is
hands high. He did not win his first race
as a two-year-old, but that was not because
he was not able. At the first day of the
spring meeting of the San Francisco Turf

Oakland with la pounds up in 1:16I.
The following day he won the Golden

was beaten by Almont in the Nevada
stakes, three-quarters of mile, in lis. A
week later, at Sacramento, he captured a

and a few days later was again defeated by
Almont in the California annual stake for
two ear-olds. The mile was run in the fast

not wintered as well as expected, but there
is plenty of time yet for the horse to pick

Joe Courtney, chestnut colt by Joe
Hooker, is candidate for the American
Derby. He is very compact, and is likely
to develop into speedy horse. Casey
Winchell will ride for this stable in the
East. Last year Winchell rode 179 races
and came under the wire first no less than
30 times. Young Atchison will be the
second jockey of the stable. Mr. Nc
Cormick told me that he never saw ter
| finer-looking yearlings than are now to bt
seen at Mr.. Winters ranch, There is ;
full brother to Emperor of Norfolk, Dor
Jose, and sister to Bonanza. They
are the finest Mr.. Winters has ever raised
without any doubt" said the trainer.

AUSTRALIAN HORSES.

j. X. Newtons Importatiens from the
antipodes are being trained by Joe Court
ney, the well-known California trainer.
They are q fne-looking string of race
horses, and no mistake As preliminary.
it might be well to state that horses in
Australia take their age on the LIST of
August, while in America it is January /:
consequently the Australian horse is
handicapped about half a year when he
races in America. The first one shown
the reporter was Hearst, grand-appear-
ing chestnut colt, While he is virtually a
two-year-old, he is three-year-old in this
country. He is by Fergus First, out of
Romping Girl. Romping Girl is the dam
of Masquerade and Faro, two noted per-
formers on the Australian turf. g The
more | work that horse the better he
looks" remarked Joe Courtney to Hollo-
way. If fine racy appearance goes for
anything, well, Hearst should be corker,
and he looks like he could pack weight,
too.
Silver Mine occupies the next stall. He
is halfbrother to Hearst, being by Fer
gus l., out of Alsacles. He is magnif-
cent specimen of race-horse. He stands
sixteen hands, and has an immense amount
of bone and muscle, and is wonderfully
well matured for three-year-old. Silver
Mine is race-horse, if there ever was one,
and no one would wish to see better
locker. If he can't get over the ground
with any amount Of weight in fast time,
then write me down duffer.
The Duke is also three year-old. His
sire is Maribynong, who is by the cele-
brated Fisherman. His dam is fair
Duchess, whose sire is Blair Athol The
Duke is well-rounded horse, and is quite
as racy-looking as any of his stable COM

W. NJ. MURRAY's ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

W. NJ. MURRAYS RECORD BREAKERS.
Just near the race-track at the Capital
city is located Mr.. Murrays stable of run
ners. Very few people not employed by
Mr.. Murray get inside of that stable, and
several reporters have fallen by the way
side in their attempt to get peep at this
stable, but mutual friend fixed every
thing for the representative OF this paper,
and Dagworth had nothing but smooth
sailing as usual. The first horse showed
was Robin Hood. He is half-brother to
Grover Cleveland, whom almost everybody
admired. His breeding is Flood-Robin
Girl. Robin Hood is entered for the Ken
lucky Derby. He only started twice as
two-year-old. Robin Hood has spread and
grown very much. His owner expects
great things from him, and says that he
looks very much like Emperor of Norfolk.
N. Y. NJ. is a three-year-old maiden who
is well entered at St. Louis and Chicago.
Shannon is the sire of n. Y. NJ.
Ackart is a nice appearing three-year-
old by Flood out of Fanny Lewis. Kyro
is fine-looking two-year-old by Joe
Hooker. Isabella, three-year-old By Nor
folk out of Maggie S. shows up well, and
Leland, a two-year-old by Flood out of
imported Camille, looks like fast gelding.
There is, in my estimation, the best in
bred Lexington in the country" remarked
Mr.. Murray, when the reporter was shown
a two-year-old by Norfolk, dam Irene
Harden, by Lexington. The colt in ques-
ton has plenty of substance, and looks all
over winner.
Peregrine has developed into fne-
looking race horse. If am not mistaken,
Peregrine performed very well as a three
year-old. He beat Ida Ferguson in a
match race at Sacramento, five-eighths of
mile, in 1:0la, with 113 pounds up, and
also won several three-quarter-mile dashes
in good company. Evelyn is racy bay
mare by Flood, dam Lady Evangeline.

Mr.. Shippee, the Stockton banker, is t.
make his initial bow in the racing worlC
this season. He has gathered together
select string of fashionably- young
sters, and has placed them in charge of tn,
veteran A. j. Stemler. Here follows
list of the string, with their breeding:
Picnic, 3, imp. Pickwick-imp. Countess
Glencola, 8, imp. Glengary-Marcola.
Songstress, 3, Luke Blackburn = imp
Malaburn.
Major Ban, ?, King Ban-Heresay.
Fellow Charm, 2, Longfellow -Trinket
Take Notice, 2, imp. Prince Charlie
Nota Bena.
Whisp Ban, 2, King Ban Whispering
Elsie S., 2, Glenelg-Marida.
Falselero, 2. Falsetto-Salara.
Mabel, 2, Longfellow-Carrie Phillips
Bonny Brook, 2, Ten Brock Benny
Kate.
If this string shows up as well as Trainer
Stemler expects, it is Mr.. Shippee's inten-
ton to campaign them East, otherwise
they will perform in California Picnic is
well entered in the East. She has grown
quite good deal since Mr.. Shippee pur
chased her and is now very trim-appear
ing animal. Picnic is entered for the
American Derby. 1t is said that she is
fast developing into a speedy race mare
Elsie s. is half sister to Firenzi and Los
Angeles. She resembles the latter horse
somewhat and is very fair sized for a two
year-old. The boys at the track say that
she is lightning on her feet. Whisp Ban
is another two-year-old that looks like she
might develop in speedy race. She Ger.
tainly has the appearance of being one Of
the best two-yearolds that have seen this
season.
Bonny Brook is very shapely and it is tc
be hoped that Mr.. Shippee will send the
Ten Brock youngster to Los Angeles in
April to battle for the Rodman scramble
If looks and breeding amount to anything
then Songstress should certainly show up
| well. Major Ban looks superb, and is a
big, muscular two-year-old. Mr.. Stemler
thinks that Fellow-Charm resembles The
Bard. The Shippee horses will make q
repord for thamSal,,ae
