CLIFTON GRAND NATIONAL.
A Four-Mile Race That EXcites
the Talent.

CLIFTON, N. j., April 13.-The clos
ing event of the winter meetings, the
four-mile race of Monday, eXcites more
interest than the Suburban even. 1t is
the Clifton Grand National of SO each,
with $1,000 added, and fifteen horses
have entered at weights ranging from
135 pounds as the top weight to SO
pounds as the lowest weight. Of the
lot the best in recent form and estimated
ability to go the route are SiIleck, 119;
Lotion, 119; Little Jim, 104; Gen. Cor
don, 102; Bella, 81; Fannie Ii. 81, and
Vendetta, 90. OF these the three last
named ran first, second and third in the
three-mile race at Clifton last week, but
Vendetta was far and away the best.
His jockey, little Weber, on that occa-
sion either misunderstood his inStruc-
lions or thought he had another lap to
make, for at the end of two miles and
half he was last of sixteen, nearly a
furlong behind the leaders. Then the
way he shut up the gap was wonder
to see. Gong like a wild horse Ven
delta was catching the leaders at every
jump and finished a close third. In
fifty yards more he would have won. If
well ridden Vendetta will have walk
over, and he has Lotion to beat. En-

WHIPS AND TIPS.
Gossip About Horses, Horsemen
and Their DOings

Handicapping is just now the newest
method of beating the races. A specu-
lator. keeping close record of all races
run, this to include an exhaustive ana
lysis of the running of every horse in
every furlong of race, forms his own
idea of form. i. e., the weights horses
should carry as compared with their OPP
ponents. This done, he takes up the
daily race card and makes handicap
of his own on each race, taking as a
basis his private notes of the supposed
form of each. Comparing the weights
thus obtained with the weights Oh the
card, he backs the horse most favored
by the comparison. Lately by this
method some large winnings have been
made. but necessarily one does not al
ways strike it. Sometimes these "han-
dicappers," as they are called, back
several horses in race that look to be
specially favored in the matter of
weight.

ever, had no further foundation than

A veteran of the Connecticut regi-

handsome uniform of Confederate
officer which was never worn but by
himself, and to which he owes some
months or years of liberty, if not life

He was tailor before the civil war,
and when he was captured Oh South

ears ofthe commander OF the prisoners
barracks.
"Eyad! I'll have the Yankee goose

him, and soon what was to all appear

Zach Taylor's Bluntness.

New York Herald.
Here is Gen. Taylor, who made
another remark which caused a good

messages he said: sWe are happily at

mankind

and the rest Of mankind" But Gen.
Taylor was plucky, brave Man-see

was true as steel. 1t is said that when

AT one time the black swan was I'M
known or regarded as freak of nature.
In "rhe Antiquary" Sir Walter Scott
makes one of his characters say {:
"What! is it my rara avis, my black
swamp But since the discovery and
opening up of the Australian continent
it has become more common, for it is
found in large fiOcks in the South and
West Of Australia. One writer says
that they have become SO abundant
there that he has seen focks of
them being driven in the streets
of Sydney as if they were a
flock of geese. They are found to be
very prolific and are tanned with great
ease. and it has not been found difficult
to keep and breed them in captivity,
but the experience has been that the
time of their breeding is uncertain. be-
cause the seasons are entirely reversed
on the northern half of the globe to
what they are in the southern hemi-
sphere.
The black swan is more slender in
build than the common swan, and not
quite so large in body. The plumage.
as the name denotes, is entirely black
on the body, only a few flight feathers
being white. The eyes are bright red,
as is the beak, but the latter has white
tip. The feet are black. The young
when hatched are of a whitish gray in
the down.
