PAUCITY OF RIDERS.
Jockeys Reported Very Scarce in
the East

OOShCyS lcDOftcu cry SCAFCO in
the East.
On account of the scarcity of jockeys
at the present time several owners who
now quartered at the winter tracks have
signified their intention to retire their
steedS until riders become more MINER
Gus, says the Sporting World. With a
few exceptions, the boys who figure as
star jockeys at the Jersey courses are
not Oh par in ability with the aveage
exercise rider of few years ago.
AS the owners are forced to employ
such material as can be obtained. OF
keep their horses III the stable, they
ride the jockeys of the present day.
They are becoming dreadfully tired,
however, of starting horses with inca
pable boys on their backs, and will
more than likely retire their stables,
unless change for the better is brought
about in the near future.
Many of these jockeys make ae en-
| gagement TO ride without the slightest
intention of keeping them, and cOnSe-
| Quently they force owners and trainers
! to sklrmlsh about at the eleventh hour
| to secure q rider or withdraw their
| horses. When many OF these young
men consent to carry silk they evidently

with the best of reasons.
The officers of the association should

lowed to do so if he posts notice
twenty-four hours beforehand.
Every effort should be made to en-
courage new jockeys to enter the field.

should be given at stated periods. Train
ers should make it their business to re-
| port to the officers of the clubs jockeys
who fail to keep engagements. and also
those who refuse to accept mounts but
afterward make engagements to ride
other horses for owners who have no
call upon them.

HUMAN SACRIFICE.
Southern Indians Go Through the
Form OF Burning q Girl.

Form OF Burning Girl.
San Diego Union.
The life 0fthe Mission Indian maiden
is not altogether happy one. especially
If she lisp retty. judging from the fate
which befell comely daughter of the
tribe at Mesa Grande recently. A letter
received here from one of the most re-
liable residents of that district relates
a thrilling and barbarous incident. The
correspondent says:
"In the autumn, after harvest is over,
the Indians hold their fearful Orgie-
human sacrifice. Each clan by itself, at
the burial place of its own tribe, gathers
Ill from all the country round and pro-
ceeds to brighten away the evil spirit
by offerlng human sacrifice to the
gods, the sacrifice always consisting of
the most comely young maiden belong
ing to the clan. This was practiced
here recently. In this case it was a
young girl about thirteen years of age,
whose face was nearly as white as my
own, and whose long treSSeS would have
graced the head of a queen. She has
been attending school at one of the
white schools Of the neighborhood for
several years, and is as we'll educated
as the average country maiden of that
age as far as school books go.
0"But, alas, when at home she is in
that hotbed of vice, the Indian
rancherie, and all the outside influence
counts for naught in cOunteracting the
pernicious influences which surround
her there. A huge fire was built and
the usual preliminaries of grooming,
chanting, fiat-fOoted stamping, and all
that sort of iugglery that is common on
such occasions, were gone through with
in extra fervOr OH this occasion, and
while this was in progress the fire had
burned down somewhat and lost its
fierceSt heat.
when 1t reached this stage huge
pie OF very green brush is brought and
thrown upon the fire, making the most
binding smoke you can we'll imagine,
and while this is tits height the maiden
is bound, blanket is thrown over the
smOldering green brush. and amid the
most demoniacal cries and shouts she is
thrown thereon, and the whole mad
crowd vie with each other in pillng
brush over her until, in this case, it was
as nigh and broad as a squatter's cabin.
Of course all this brush is green. and is
not calculated really to cremate the girl,
but only to come as near to it as they
dare. The smoke is enough to kill any
one but an Indian, and il the pile should
blaze up, as green brush sometimes
does, nothing can save her from instant
DEATH 1t was terrible scene, and all
this In the midst of civilized commu-
nifty that is constantly contributing to
foreign missions"

IF Your Tickets East Read Over
the Lake Shore Route,

IF Your Tickets East Read Over
the Lake Shore Route,
You have the choice of six splendid
trains over the only double-track line
between Chicago and Buffalo, the only
unbrOken all-rail line between Chi
cago and New York, passengers being
landed in the latter city at the Grand
Central Station, Forty-second street
without the annoyance of a change or
transfer of any kind.
The selection of this line by the gov
eminent as the route of the Fast Mail
trains between Chicago and New York
speaks very highly for the efficiency of
the train service and motive equipment;
promptness and reliability being the
essential features in the transportation
of the mails. The schedule time of the
Chicago and New York Limited {Wag-
ner vestibuIe) via this route is some
what shorter than that of the fast mail
trains, and the accommodations afforded
are not surpassed by any train i'll this
country. The Private Compartment

being the first real innovation in
sleeping car construction for many
years. For full information concerning
the train service apply to j. Ii. VILE

A colored cyprian named Lizzie Hos

sic last night, after she had been ar
rested for drunk and disorderly conduct
on Minnesota street, near Fifth. The
officer succeeded in taking the woman to

wagon arrived she refused to get
into it and fought the officers with the
fury of tigress, biting Officer Gerber
III the leg. She was eventually over
powered and cOnveyeyed topolice head
quarters, where she was found to have a
loaded revolver in her possession. She
was booked on two charges of being
drunk and disorderly and carrying con-
ceaed weapons. and will no doubt. be

AN ITCHING FOR FLYERS
Said to Have Struck One of
GOuId's Sons.

The rumor that Jay Gould's youngest
son is anxious to become the head OF a
great racing stable will no doubt cause
a flutter in turf circles. says the Sport
ing World, and especially among ex-
pectant bidders at the forthcoming sale
of the Belmont racing properties. Mr..
Gould has ample means to crafty his
tastes, and should he contemplate
career on the turf he would naturally
desire to be at the head of a powerful
stable. A better opportunity to secure
a stable ready made, so to speak, has
not occurred in years than will be af-
forded at the Belmont sale. In addi-
ton to famous racers in training, valua-
bic stations and brood mares are to be
disposed of. If Mr.. Gould should be
represented among the bidders there is
no doubt that he will secure such ami
mails as his advisors recommend, nor
that his stable would prove a powerful
factor In the decision of turf events.
Parties selling in the near future will
look for bids from MIR. Gould or repre-
sentative.

two keys large and the other small.
The old negro carried the cane during

claimed that the small key would open
his way into the better world. and that
the large key, should he not 20 to that

the greatest meetings of the year, his
horses Rimini and Polemus being en-
tered in most of the stake races for the
season Of 1891. Mr.. Foster may we'll be
proud of his short career Oh the turf.
Starting in less than a year ago with
one horse, and practically unknown, he
has sprung into the front rank of horse
men. and st. Paul should feel honored
for the reputation that has come to 1t
through the performances of his horses.
He won more races and took more
purses at Nashville than any other
