THE PACING STANDARD.
Good Rules Will Avail Nothing
Unless RigidIy Enforced.

The widespread interest which is
being manifested, not alone among
owners of PAGERS, but owners of trotters
as well. warrants the presumption that
a strong organization in the interest of
the PAGER will result from the meeting
to occur at Cincinnati. o.. June 26. 1t
will be an easy matter to effect an Or
ganization, but very different and
difficult matter will be a proper selec-
ton for register" Good rules for
standard" will avail nothing unless
administered by a firm. intelligent,
active and thoroughly honest hand.
The man who~handleS the register,
if it succeeds, must also possess
qualities of order and organization;
he must have honest convictions, and
firmness which will enable him to adj
here to them. The register in the
hands of such a man will become a
thing of real value, and will lift up such
PAGERS as are of real merit in perform
ance or breeding. In the hands of any
other than the right man it will be a
failure. Location of the register is an
other matter of importance. 1t should
be in some city of central Importance,
and if located North, say at Cleveland
or Chicago, its influence will be greatly
felt in helping to build up an interest in
and consequent market for the TenneS-
see and Indiana PAGERS.

She Made a Wrong Inference,

Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
Mrs. Snaggs-Why, | thought Mr..
Plankington was perfectly honest
man.
Mr.. Snaggs-Your thoughts generally
do you credit, my love, and in this in
stance no less than others.
Mrs. Snaggs-But you said awhile
ago that he had just made big haul.
Snaggs-Well, is there anything in
consistent with honesty in that?
Mrs. Snaggs-But isn't the term
usually used in reference to stealing
something or other?
Snaggs-Not necessarily. Do you
happen to know what Mr.. Plankinton's
business is?
Mrs. Snaggs-No.
Snaggs-He is an architect, and
think an architect may be said to have
made large hall without any imputa-
tions on his honesty.

trustworthy, however. could be learned
in regard to the house until about a
week ago. B. w. Frazier met with a
strange experience there, the substance
of which is given as follows:
While standing in front of the house
late one night, trying to light his cigar,
he was startledby hearing an unearthly
shrek issue from an upper window. AT
first he thought it was the work OF some
joker, but the shrek was repeated, and
pended in such dismal wall of agony
shat he was appalled,. He stepped to
the door and tried the latch, but found
it fastened. AS he was about to turn
away the door slowly opened, and, to
sight. Then the door slowly shut, only
to open and close as before. this being
repeated several times; at first slowly,
then gradually increasing in rapidly,
until it slammed back and forth with III
credible quickness. AS it closed for
the last time a moan of unutterable
agony seemed to come from the hall in
front, followed by the awful shrek
sheard before. This was sufficient for
Fraser, and he left the place in be-
wildered state of mind.
Z The next night, accompanied by
Miles Wellington and another gentle
man, he again visited the house. After
gaining access through side door, the
party at once proceeded to the room
where the tragedy above mentioned
took place. The moment they entered
the room they noticed a sudden change
in the temperature. 1twas like entering
an ice house on summer day. AS they
moon poured flood of light through
the window and lit up the room as light
as day. Then a strange, oppressive
silence filled the air, followed by Sc
ries of choking, gasping sobs. Then
came the sounds of an unseen Strug-
gle, seeming to take place between two
Invisible persons in the room where
they stood. Around and around went
the struggling, painting pair.
Choking gaSpS. grOanS OF pain, means
of despair and shouts of defiance
mingled together until the air was
filled with horror. At one time itseemed
that the victim had escaped from the
grasp of his foe, for an unseen form
seemed to be flying before a pursuer.
Around the room they fled, the pur-
Suer gaining every moment upon his
victim, until at last he held him in his
grasp again. Finally there was a fall,
and then came the sound of knife blows
CuGlll1S tuGlI way blIOuSh AOoiA oho
tendons, accompanied by series OF
heart-rending means, which grew
fainter and fainter, until they ended in
that CHASTITY sound, the death-rattle.
The party now attempted to leave the
house, but at every step it met with
some unseen obstruction. First an i'm
penetrable darkness settled about it,
and. as it CROPPED its way toward the
place of exit, one or the other would
stumble over some phantom obstacle.
Balls of different colOred fire danced in
the air, it was pulled and jerked about
by ghostly forms, and during
all this time shrieks and means seemed
to come from every part of the building.
The party at last escaped from the
house, and it is safe to wager that it
will never make another visit to that
room. An attempt will be made to in
vestigate the cause of these strange
phenomena, and. if the mystery is solv-
able, it Will be solved.

THE AMERICAN DERBY.
About Dozen Cracks Will Face
the Starter.


Next Saturday will see the opening of
the summer meeting of the Washington
Park club, says the Chicago Horseman,
and the feature of the day will. OF
course, be the American Derby, the
richest stake run for west of the Allie
ghanies. The Derby this year will be
worth about $4,000 to the winner. and
the club has decided to hereafter add
$4,000 to the stake. What the Suburb
an is to New York the Derby is to Chi
cago-the racing holiday of the year, the
race to which everybody goes who
can by any possible means arrange to
abandon for an afternoon the cares of
the work-day world for the sport of
kings. The material in the Derby this
year is possibly not up to the standard
of former contests. There may be no
Emperor of Norfolk, Spokane, Trouba
dour or Modesty now engaged, but of
the seventy-two eligible to start. field
of about a dozen will face the starter,
and it is safe to say that the winner will
have to be racehorse that day. Every
true turfman regrets to hear the re-
newed report that Ell Rio Rey is a roar
er, and this report lives so perSistently
that it is generally believed. The great
est of last years two-year-oldS will
therefore undoubtedly be an absentee.
Riley, despite his defeats the best
three-year- old in the West, is not en-
gagged, nor is his rival, RObespierre. Of
those named as probable starters
the chances of Sam Bryant'S
Uncle Rob, R. Campbell's Pro
lection, winner of the Junior Champion
stake, 1889; W. r. Letchel's Bill
II D..
and u Co.'s Eberlee and W. G. Morris;
Clio, and the Fleetwood stables From
tino are most frequently spoken of.
Though Protection won the Junior
Champion. the race was something on
the ''fuke order, and his form was
never high. Bill Letcher's race in the
st. Louis Derby was too easy to take
line from: but on that race, Grayson,
who finished behind him, may be ig-
nored in the Derby. Penn p came
nearer being high-class two-year-old
than any named above, and Eberlee
ran a very creditable race in his second
to Ell Rio Rey in the Great Eclipse stake
last summer. On their running this
year 'Sinaloa, Blarneystone Jr.,
Rosemont and Mount Lebanon,
Queer Toy and Swifter, prob
able starters, seem hardly class enough
for Derby material. Penn P, Protec-
ton, Eberlee, W. G. Morris, Frontino
and Santiago have not started as three
year-olds, and there may be a Tenny
among them to furnish another proof
that sometimes colt may be positively
bad as a tWo-year-old and come out a
champion three-year-old. On form Bill
Letcher and Uncle Bob are probably
entitled to the most respect at this
writing, though affairs may have very
different aspect when the call to the
post is sounded. The outlook TOR sue
cessful summer meeting at Washington
Park was never brighter, and all the
stables, sufficient to shelter 800 horses,
will be filled when the gates are thrown
open Oh Derby day.
