Not Familiar With the Track.

About the Only person in Kentucky that
knows nothing about horse racing IS Judge
Orr1n H. Hosmer Of SbarEsDurg. says the chi
c@go Tribune. His arrival at Ehe Richelieu last
evening recalls an amusing incident. Last sum
mer there was a grand free-for-all tr0t at
SharpSourg, and every fast horse in the county
was entered. The fev0Tite was backed heavily
by all, and it was almost a certainty that the
horse would win. In order that greater har-
vest might be reaped, il was arranged by the
owners that the horse would be held back aud
might be success sful, two of tie three judges
were taken into camp. Then Judge HoSner
was invited to act as t3ird Judge.
While he would have nothing to say. his an
pearance would give the judges sta1d show
of responsibility. and would avert suspicion.
he reluctantly accepted the honor There was
more excitement at the fair grounds when that
race was ca led than ever at Washington park.

pulled and the second horse went to the front

not pass him, and, OF course the result was en-

Louisiana Lottery Rumors.


1t is quite generally believed that the
Louisiana Lottery Company is seeking
another charter. The effort to get a lottery
charter from the legislature of North
| Dakota failed, but it is not absolutely Ger
| tain that those who sought that charter
were in anyway connected with the Louisi-
| ana company. The impression is, however,
that they were acting for that company
/ 1t was even said that the republican leaders
| had assured the Louisiana company that If
it would make large contribution to the
republican campaign fund for 1888 it should
have a charter from one of the new states
There NAV have been no foundation for this
statement. however.
The charter of the Louisiana company
will expire Jan. l, 1895, and, the lottery
being such profitable institution, it is to
be expected that its owners will endeavor to
get a new charter for it In New Orleans
the impression is that it hopes to get new
| charter from Louisiana. 1t cannot do that
unless the constitution is changed, because
| the present constitution of that state for
bids the granting of lottery charters after
1895.
do, however. 1t can submit constitutional
amendment repeating the prohibitory lot
terry clause, and it is believed that it will be
asked to do that. II such an amendment
were submitted it is quite safe to say that
vast amount of money would be spent in
its behalf. The black voters would be out
in force, and they would be out for revenue.
The lottery company now pays to the
charity hospital of New Orleans $4,000
year for the privilege of doing business. 1t
is said that it would willingly under AXE to
pay the state debt Of $40, 900, 900 for another
charter running forty years. A statement
of that kind is extravsgsDt. M DOUBT it

The Louisiana Lottery Company is ore
Of those institutions that keep their own
counsels. The stockholders do1't talk about
the earnings of their stock Indeed, few
know who the stockholders are. Several
are known. of course, because they are
identified with the management of the COM
pany, but as a rule the stockholders don't
care to have their connection with the lot
terry known. Most of the rumors about
the company, which appear in the news
papers, have little or 10 foundation. Care is
taken that the affairs of the compeny do
not reach the public. 1t can be pretty
safely assumed, however, that it will seek
to continue its existence, but whether iii
