CHATTER OF THE CURB
The 10000 people who patronize
street cars in this city are anyiOusly
awaiting the time when the electrical
device now being put in will be ready
for operation. The present mode of
travel is all too irkSome for live people
in live city and the electrical era will
be heartily welcomed.

Apropos of street travel. the question
Is often asked ami never answered, us
to why an extra car cannot ue attached
to the cable trains between the hours of
5 and O'Clock n. III. AT present every
car is filed in such manner that egreSs
becomes almost impossible. | have seen
twenty more persons on one car than
that ear was built to carry. and the
same thing may be seen every evening
in-the week during the period named.
AS at present cOnHucted, the Fourth
street line is totally Inadequate to the
travel and hundreds who lave To put
up with limited standing room every
evening will attest the fact.
"There is ice in the river three feet
thick. Now if we had built that ice
palace, we could have had half the
country here" remarked an ice palace
director To President Van Slyke ycster-
day. Yes" replied the veteran car
nival manipulation, land with the sun
at its present altitude we should have
had the whole business about their ears
in short order. No, think we did the
only thing possible in abandoning the
carnival business for this year,
The Jockey club meeting of 1890 is go
Ing to he a corker. It's safe to lay odds
that the biggest crowd ever sten at the
state fair grounds will he seen there
during the coming meeting. Secretary
Simon, of the ST. Paul Driving club,
when on tour of the south recPntly.ran
across a number of the owners VINO had
horses here last year. They all want TO
come, and come they will. A liberal
management is the sort of thing that
goes down with the turtmen, and
that is what they found
in st. Paul. Aside from
this, the man who brought three horses
to Hamline was given an equal show
and as good attention as the big fellows.
All this is appreciated and the best
horses in the country will be none too
good to fill their engagements with the
Jockey club for this year. The Twin
City Derby of 80 will be the greatest
race ever brought off in the Northwest
If the horses entered don't drop dead
before the start.
There has been a good deal of talk
about the alleged split in the ranks of
the driving club stockholders. 1t seems,
however. that about five of the stuck
holders walked out. and the remainder
having effected a Hew organization and
secured firSt-ciaSS financial support, in
tend to show the cr1allerS that lrottlng
is by no means dead letter in Mime
sofa. Anyway, there will be a trottng
meeting and Il tirSt-claSS lot of horses
will compete, whlchiS encouraging. con-
s!dering the at one time doubtful out
look.
From present appearances it would
seem that racing in all its branches
is to occupy good deal of the attention
of st. Paul people next summer. The
Minnesota Boat club fellows are a likely
lot of men and will be in better shape
to give good account of themselves IN
the future than in the past. A great
many of those who are now clever oars
men never sat in shell until last
spring. and their wonderful progress
was evidenced by the excellence OF the
work done at the regatta last fall. Capt.
Blown thinks he can show up one of
the strongest tOur-oared crews i'm the
Northwest after a month or so of spring
coaching.
Herr Strauss proposes to revolution
iZe the watZ-lhat is, he thinks there is
too much whirl and Scamper about the
present style of thing, and talks about
undermining, or moderating, it. If the

of the waltz is just what makes it popu-

doubtless meet with a storm of diSap-

Supt. McGinn. of the Pinkerton de-
tective agency, is a pretty fair type of
ScotcfGan. The other night he rode a
mile and a half on the platform of a
street car rather than throw away his
cigar. The thermometer SAID ID below,
and it took nerve 10 do it.
There is rumor that Charles o.
Fables, the talented young impressario,
late OF the ''Said Pasha" company, is
shortly to marry a Tenth street Dung
lady, whose acquaintance he formed
while in st. Paul recently. The en-
gagement has not been actually an
nounced, but there is good authority for
the statement that it exists.

The life of city Justice is not the
greatest snap on earth by long odds.
Take Judge Nelson, for instance; he
gets walked up in the night about four
times week by anxious creditors and
only week ago an excited youth pulled
the house bell at 1:3O. lie wanted to
be married at /. "Couldn't he wait un-
til morning" asked the Judge. .'D-n
1t, no, :" was the reply. there's no tell
ing what may happen before morning."
Last Sunday, or rather Monday morn
ing. at 80 the Judge was routed from
between the blankets to execute writ
OF attachment against the Kiralfy COM
bination which had been playing at the
Newmarket. The company was tick
eie to leave at 80 Monday morning
and had neglected to pay the men en-
ployed in hauling baggage. They got
dhe writ and subsequently, their money
