OVER TWO MILLIONS.
The Amount of Money Raced For
Last Year.

From the advance sheets of Goodwin's
'Official Turf Guide" for 1889, it ap-
pears that the total amount of money
raced for last year, inclusive of en-
frances to purse races, and, including
only the money added by clubs, was
S2.379,192, as compared with S1,SS7, 275
in 1883. This shows, therefore, an in
crease of above S500,000 for the year,
and there were 500 more races run.
West Side Park, Chicago, contributed
S2l9, 100 in 112 days racing, and 614
races run. and Clifton comes next with
sol, $50 for 102 days racing, and $50
races. But these clubs have not really
any thing like such averages as
the summer tracks. Of these Mon
mouth had an average of S9,212.50
for twenty days; Sheepshead of S., 1927. 80
Tor twenty days; Morris Park, So, 237. so
for twenty-five days, and Gravesend of
S7,Sl7 for twenty-five days, while the
West side average is under 50, 200. New
York and its immediate vicinity con-
tributed 81, 412,9 $50, which is more than
the total amount won by American
: horses at home and abroad i'm 1883 by
100000. There were 4, S4S races on the
fiat, of which 3,1l9 were at distances of
under mile, including heats, IT'S at a
mile, LOOP over mile and under two
miles, s under three miles, and l at
three miles and under four. There were
1,090 races run at six furlongs. The de-
cadence in jumping races may be as
certained from the fact that there were
only 81 such races, as compared with
130 in 1883, and only ID Steeple chaSes,
as against 96 in 1855

She was as gentle OF eye as soft ga

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-The equity
suit of the Philadelphia league club
against William Mailman and Henry M
Love is not likely to be heard of again
until March, since the filing of demur-
rer by the defendants to-day will make
1t impossible under court rules to have
the matter disposed of before that date.
J. |. Rogers expressed himself yesterday
rs greatly disappointed at the action Of
the brotherhood people in delaying the
ase. Said he: Had Mr.. Vanderslice
fl led his demurrer at once instead of
waiting tWenty-nine days it might
have been possible for us to have done
something before March, but now
there is no alternative for us but to
wait. When our bills in equity were
filed Mi. Vanderslice said that he would
push things so as to bring the case to
trial as soon as possible, and | wrote
him that | should join with him in en-
deavOrlng to expedite matters. Wait
ing twenty-nine days to Go what might
have been done the first day does not
look much like hurrying. | suppose,
now. when the case is called in March,
the Players club will endeavor to have
it carried over until June by then dis
putting the facts set forth in our bills.

SPANKED Her HUSBAND.
Before the Honeymoon Was Over

Before the Honeymoon Was Over
She Had Him Locked Up in the
Attic.
New York Mercury.
Because his wife sent him to school,
spanked him when he was bad and
locked him in the attic when she wanted
to go out, William Beeler, of East Provi-
dence, appeared in court in Providence
yesterday as petitioner for divorce. His
story was singular one, and his wife,
Mrs. Mary Beeler, founced out of the
court room before it was half done. He
is now but nineteen, and was led to the
altar when sixteen, his wife being
twenty-eight.
FROM HIS TESTIMONY
it appears that she possessed the master
mind of the two, and at once undertook
the direction of the household. After
they had been married three months
she insisted upon sending him to school
that he might become more of a scholar
than he was. He refused to go, and
was severely whipped for his disobedi-
ence. She was much the stronger of
the two, and he had to do as she said.
A FEW MONTHS AGO
he became rebelliOuS and unruly, and
Mrs. Beeler had recourse to imprison-
ment, and frequently locked him in the
attic chamber, to the solitary occupancy
of which she condemned him before the
honeymoon was over. One day he let
himself down with ropes made from
the bed clothing, and when he sought
his wife he found she had gone off to
Providence to enjoy life. Wrought up
to the point of desperation, he followed
her and found her at questionable
place, sitting on the lap of strange
man, smoking cigarette and drinking
champagne.
His wife, who had exacted the most
correct conduct on his part, even to the
extent of selecting what books he should
read, ordered him home and threatened
to spank him as soon as he got home.
But she did not thrash him as he sup
posed she would. Instead she told him
that henceforth she intended to follow
her own course of living, and that he
might do the same.
Since that time they bad not lived to-
gether. The divorce was granted.

Features of Observation-Disclosures
Without Odor-No Shade.
Boston Journal.
Australia is a country in which nature
has established conditions unknown
elsewhere, and where civilization must
adapt itself to surroundings which it
finds novel and strange. 1t is a country
full of absurdities in animal, vegetable
and human life. Its native race, in
point of intelligence and development
of resources, is far below even the cave
jewellers and the people of the stone
age of Europe. Its animals perpetuate
types which disappeared from every
other part of the globe some millions of
years ago. Its trees and plants are
representative of species found else
where only In chalk and coal measures.
Hardly anything here has the charac-
ter and quality of its relations in other
lands. Although the trees aid flowers
are chiefly those of the temperate zone,
the birds are, for the most part, of the
tropics, and flash the gorgeous colors of
the parrot and the cockatOO through
the dull foliage of the sad-toned euca-
lyptuf. The birds have no song, and
such notes as they possess seem like
weird echoes from a period when rep
TILES were assuming wings and filling
the tree tops with a strange jargon,
before heard only in the swamps and
fens. The flowers have no scent. while
the leaves on every tree are full of
odor. The trees cast no shade, since
every leaf is set at edge against the
sun. aud shed, not their leaves,
but their bark, which. stripping off
in long scales, exposes the
naked wood beneath, and adds to
the CHASTITY effect which the forest al
ready holds in the pallid hues of its
foliage. The contour of the country is
of one that is but newly risen from the
waves. Its thousands and thousands of
square miles. level as a table and set
with no other growth than the gray
eucalyptus, look like the uplifted bed

The Struggle Between the

1t is morally certain that both the

Ward until April. At that time it is eX-
pected it will again be put over till
June. The great struggle is therefore
certain to come, and those who expect
1t will be decided on the basis of senti-
ment will be badly disappointed. There
are many of the Old players who will
for a time attract attention, but the
whole matter will finally revolve about
individual club success. Be player

with q winning aggregation. Ii the
Boston league club, with Clarkson in
the box, stands seventh or eighth i'll the
list after two months play, and the Bos-
ton brotherhood club stands from first
to third at the same time, the patronage
will go the brotherhood club, regardless
Of its players. The same state of things
will hold equally true in every one of
the eighteen clubs. The result will be
that the teams that stand near the top
will make money, and those that are
well to the rear will lose, and
there will be plenty of men
In both organizations that will
wish long before the seasons close that
they had never seen base ball. After
it is all over there will be pretty gen.
eral agreement that several people nave
made fools of themselves. there will be
a conference, and before the beginning
of the season of 1891 either the league
or the brotherhood will cease to be,
Fights for principle and sentiment and

man: II would like very much to have
both of these men, and would be glad to
sign them. 1 had only one conversation
with keenan, in regard to signing. He
has shown no disposition to meet me
since. l have made Duryea a
liberal offer. 1t is as much as l
can afford to give. 1t is not the few
hundred dollars that prevents me from
signing him, but if l gave him more
than have offered him it would be an
Injustice to other players in my employ.
/ suppose keenan, and Duryea will go
to the brotherhood. l would like to
have them both, but if they think they
will secure better treatment than have
accorded them all along, why, well and
