Tenny never looked better in his life than
ne does this year. He has had excellent
care during the winter, and plainly shows
its benefit. His owner, Mr.. David T. Pull
sifer, knows that his horse is today in bet
ter shape than ever before, and has conse-
quently backed him heavily, with the re-
suit of making him favCrite, with odds
of to l against him. Some Of the veteran
TURTLES Ike him better for the Toboggan
handicap than for the Suburban, however.
Tenny had hard season of it during 1889,
and the desperate effort he made in that
great race for the first special at Gravesend
last autumn would have ended the turf ca
reer of many another horse.
Salvador did not run many races during
1889, probably because he was a difficult
colt to train. As 2-year-old he won ST.
800 of which 81, 725 was won by being sec
ond in the Futurity. If he had won that
great prize, for which he was beaten only a
neck, his victories for '8S would have yield
ed his owner $4,000 more, or over S55, 600
for the year. As 2-year-old Salvador was
undoubtedly the best out.
There are more race horses in training
now than there ever were before at this
time of the year. There is more money of
fered for them to win this season than
there ever has been in a single season in
the United States The Elizabeth assCcia-
ton Egives away say $4,000; the Linden,
$4,000; the Brooklyn Jockey club at its
first meet, &90, 900; the Coney Island Jockey
club, $50, 600; the New York Jockey club at
its first meet, $104, 800, and the Monmouth
Park, 1925, 600. Later on the same clubs
offer: The Coney Island Jockey club, S93,-
0CQ; the Brooklyn, $85, 900; the New York,
sos, 900; the Elizabeth, S65, 600, and the Lin
den, SOS, 000 The aggregate Of these sums
is over million and quarter Of money.
Many of the richest men in the United

John D. Mcpherson, the Cham
pion of the World.
HOW HE DOES HIS FINE WORK.

Malcolm W. Ford Describes His Manner
of PerfOrming-Not Large Man, but
Full of Muscle and Very ouick-A Chal-
leEge Out for CuFrie.
The illustration shows John ,. McPher-
son, the great shot pUtteT, as he stands
ready to perform his favorite game. He is
not an unusually muscled man, but he is
very strong. His height is 5 feet IL inches,
and his weight as the picture shows him is
175 pounds He has just issued challenge
to put with any man in the world different
weight shots There is little probability
that any one outside of Cu1rie will take up
the challenge, and it is generally under
stood that Mcpherson intends his bold def
especially for his big rival.
Mcpherson is without doubt the most
wonderful man in the world at putting the
shot for his weight. George z. Gray, the
amateur, is considered a phenomenon, but
he weighs little more than Mcpherson
and is not SO good. Mcpherson mas been
attracting a great deal OF attention lately
on account of his great ability 4 nd his
comparatively small size. He is nothing
but sinew from head TO foot, and his mo-
tons when delivering the shot are very
quick. Mcpherson, being both quick and
strong, combines qualities that many can
never hope to have, and his style at the
game Is perfection.

TITLE OF THE ZNASuA.

The entire circulation of this paper is
1900, of which 500 are subscribed for by
the Russian refugees in America and the
remainder are distributed among the Nj
hiists resident in Russia and among their
exiled brethren in the different cities of
Europe, the true intention of the pub
fishers being to provide a secret CORE
spending medium for the members of the
party (Narednaya Wolia) which we know
as NihiIists. And many of the articles
which appear weekly are from men-even
now residing in the dominions of the
czar-who, in some cases, permit their
names to be published at the risk of trans
portation TO Siberia
When l saw the editor of the paper this
morning he informed me that certain
B. NJ, a corresponding Nihilist, whose let
ter appeared in the issue of March 9, has
been seized and exiled to the mines in ST.
IBERIA for his contribution to this modest
little paper.
If the cars officials happened to find in
the mails copy of The Znamia addressed
to any individual in ST. Petersburg or else
where in Russia that discovery, of itself,
would render the addressee liable TO
never ending espionage if not arrest.
How do the publishers manage to insure
the distribution Of the sheet in Russia? 1
asked the editor this question and he in
formed me that no copies are sent from
New York direct. They are mailed to
Paris, London and other cities where the
refugees have established themselves; and
from there, by various secret methods,
which he declined to explain, they are car
ried into Russia.
Before the Zurich explosion last fall,
after which the members OF the Naradnaya
VOLTA were expelled from Switzerland, the
greater part of the issue of The Znamia
was transferred to Russian correspondents
through the Nihilists of Geneva. Now the
transmission is not so easy. A weekly dis
tributiOn being almost an impossibility, it
has been decided to reorganize the publica-
ton and issue it monthly in magazine
form, but under the same title.
The courteous editor assured me that,
Notwithstanding the almost superhuman
endeavOrs of the cars officials to suppress
correspondence between the members of
the Naradnaya VIOLA, he is in constant
communication with Nihilists both in
Russia and Siberia ROB z. WALSH.

It is hardly known outside Of the imme-

Golden Days, that in SOnoma county, Cali
fornia, there is a railroad unique in con-
struction. In the upper part Of the county
named, near the coast, may be seen an ac-
tual roadbed in the tree tops.
Between the Clipper mills and Stuart
Point, where the road crosses q deep ravine,
the trees are sawed off on level with the
surrounding hills and the timbers and ties
laid on the stumps. In the center Of the
ravine mentioned two huge redwood trees,
standing side by side, form substantial
support These giants have been Topped
off seventy-1iye feet above the bed of the
creek.
This natural tree bridge is considered
one Of the wonders Of the Golden State, and
for safety and security lar exceeds a bridge
