ERDENHEIM's OFFERING.
Nine Colts and Fillies to be Sold
at Auction.

at Auction.
The Erdenheim yearlings, bred on the
historical farm at Chestnut Hill, will
pass under the hammer ON the grounds
of the Brooklyn Jockey Club on Satur-
day May II. There are but nine colts
and fillies, and, owing to the high con-
nections and deep-rooted associations
with which many of them are con-
nected, some very sensational bidding
may be expected. The youngSter COM
manding most attention will, of course,
be the late Maggie B. BIS last colt, for
probably no mare is so stamped in
the hearts of Americans as she, having
produced, as she did, the English Derby
and st. Ledger winner, lroQuois, besides
Harold, Panique. Pera, Francesca, ETC..
this last son of so great mare is
chestnut by imported Woodlands, and
we can safely say is one of the hand
soonest yearlings we have had the pleas
ure of seeing; for he is good size, with
plenty of bone and substance, and is
beautifully topped one, covering a lot
of ground; he is, in fact. real gem.
Another colt that will attract bid
dee. he is very holloW-backed
but this in no way interferes with his
beautiful, hard. clean bone and grand
substance; he is also of good size and
has grand, powerful hindquarters. Per-
haps the best looking FLY is the one by
Reform, out of Megara (Spinaway's
dam, by imported Eclipse. She is an
Immense filly, with a beautiful top,
grand back ribs and powerful loin and
hindquarters, and with all her size is a
thoroughbred and full Of quality. The
rest are we'll worthy of their blue
blooded ancestors, and we quite expect
phenomenal prices to be the rule and
not the execution.

the position of ante-post favorite. and
his performances have been of no mean
order. Making his first bow at Mem
phis, he captured the Tennessee Derby
from good field in easy style, and fol-
lowed UP the victory by defeat
ing Prince Fonso and other first
class colts for the $1,000 Sweep
stake at Nashville. In the Memphis
race he performed on dry track, and
at Nashville he won in the mud. 1t is
therefore plain that he is equally at
home in either kind of going, and to
show that he is game and will stand a
drive one has only to look at his race
for the Duncan Hotel stake at Nash
vile, in which he was punished out In
order to defeat that fast mare Maori, to
which he was conceding weight. Robes
pierre was shipped from Nashville di.
rect to Louisville, and is now Quartered
at Churchill Downs, taking his final
preparation for the great event. Prince
FOnsO, which ran second to Robespierre
III the Two Thousand SWeepstake at
Nashville, is also pretty sure starter
in the Kentucky Derby, and on public
form he is Robespierre's most
formidable competitor. In that
event he ran a remarkably good race,
anu Hdu ilC IlOb SlEuCh llluSOll WOulA
probably have forced Robespierre to
run faster than he did. Prince Fonso
was also undoubtedly little short OF
the necessary keying up to go and stay
in firSt-class company over mile and
furlong, and that run will do much to
put him on edge should he not face the
starter again before May IA. Of the di-
vision that have at the time of writing
not faced the starter this season, Riley
is receiving the most public attention.
His work before leaving Memphis was
of the most satisfactory character. and
the reports of his progress have
been very favorable ever since.
He Is bred to go and stay the
distance, and his people are confident
that he will make good showing if he
is fit to go to the post on the day OF the
race. Favorable reports are also heard
of Prodigal Son, Grayson and Goodbye,
so the result is no sure thing at the
present writing. As Protection has
been sent East he will not start, and
the field will probably be composed OF
Robespierre, Prince Fonso. Prodlgai
Son, Grayson, Goodbye and Riley. with
possibly one or two from the dark di-
vision. Although the race will prob
ably not be as fast or sensational as the
contest between Spokane and Proctor
Knott of last season, yet it is sure 10 be
a great race, and one that will take
firSt-claSS colt to win.

OPEN.AIR JAILS.
How They Treat Prisoners on the
Islands of Italy.

Islands of Italy.
A correspondent writing from It ally
gives some interesting details OF the
treatment of prisoners on various Italian
islands he visited while on trip in the
Mediterranean. Each of these islands
contains several hundred prisoners, who
are locked up every night at sunset, re-
leased at daybreak and locked up again
from midday until o'clock. During
the night no prisoner is allowed to be
absent under any circumstances, but at
midday those who work on farms at a
distance from The prison are allowed to
remain out by special permission from
the director. During these free hours
the prisoners can go anywhere they like
ON the island, and can engage in any
work offered them by the townspeople
OF farmers. Any infractlon of the rules
of ordinary life around them or OF their
prison is punished by seclusion in
special cells.
The government furnishes physician
and medicines, summer and winter
suit of clothes to each prisoner each year,
and allows each 10 cents daily in money
for his food and other necessities OF
life. Danger of escape is prevent
ed by squad of soldiers, one
to every ten criminals, and a
swift-sailing felucca, manned by
marines. On account of the cheapness
of labor the islands are so highly
cultivated as to resemble gardens.
The correspondent adds: "As for
the prisoners. the open air makes
them the healthiest Of any criminals /
have ever seen. There is no sign
in their faces and bodies OF that
prison blight which strikes every
visitor to ordinary jaiIs or penltentia-
ries. Fresh, open, country air. sea
bathing and contact with honest men,
women and children. among whom
these criminals must live and behave
themselves properly, remind them that
they are not simply jailbirds, but that.
guided by feeling of humanity, socl-
ETY. allows them to hang On to its skirts
without utterly casting them out.

of the horses nominated probably will

rant their rOwners keeping them in. there
will be no lack of horses. Indeed, pres
ent indications point to the fact that
some of the fields will be so large that
the races will nave to be divided. The
Jockey club has gone to great expense
in preparing for the meeting, and as
Secretary Shaw tersely puts it, "We
expect to be $4,000 in pocket at the

The young son of Boston police Of
ficer is all attendant at one of the South
End schools. His father has always
told him to excel in something, and If
he could not be the smartest boy in
school he should make every effort to be
the dullest. One night his father asked
him how he stood in his class.
"Only one from the end, and I'll soon
beat him." was the reply,
ssAnd how many are there In the

"Twenty six"

after dinner, when we should be all to-
gether in the drawing room, and he
would have an audience sufficiently
large and appreciative.
The proper moment arrived-a pen
knife was produced, and the plaster
carefully and tremendously scraped
off. But instead of the crossed swords
appeared the following inscription:
A PRESENT FROM NEWPORT, 1883,
The year previous to the bargain!
When new, these groups might have
been worth Is pence each. In their
present condition they would have been
dear at shilling the pair.

with the purchaser, but l was distressed
to think that Mrs. Rawlins. whose char
acter for honesty had been irreproach-
able, should have seemed to vouch for
the antiquity Of the china and also to
have hidden the tell-tale inscription.
Her answer was simple. The Orna-
mentS had been given her as birthday
present by her grandmother, who had
died only few weeks before the bar
gain, at the ripe age of ninety-eight, and
the cement had been added with the OBJ
ject OF making them stand steadily on

But there was twinkle in Mrs.
Rawlins' eye when she offered me this
explanation, and even now l hardly
know how far innocent was her share in
Lord Johns bargain.
