THE TUG OF WAR.

International Complications that Place
the Chile Muddle In the Shade.
There is trouble on the horizon in re-
gard to the tug of war. The Scotch are
now eager to enter the fray and strenu-
ously object to being barred out. The
Irish are up in arms. They assert that
the team published in the HERALD and
copied into the other papers. is not an
Irish team. They further say that only
two of the ten are Irish, and the most
CALLING thing to them is that the captain
is English. There will be a meeting OF
the dissatisfied this evening at the Opera
hall. They announce that they will get
up an international tug of war to run
counter to the one advertised to come
off under the auspices of the athletic
club.
1t seems to the writer that it would
be polite to pour oil on the trouble
waters. If, as reported, the Irish team
are not all Irishmen, they should cer-
tainly- not be allowed to compete as an
Irish team. In this respect, every team
should be as represented.
The Germans should all be Germans
and the French should all be French.
In order to do away with all dissatisfac-
tion, it would be expedient for the ath-
letic club to reopen entries. Make a
public announcement of the closing of
at 8 pm. ON the evening
Of November 9th. Then there would
be no possible excuse for any team not
being represented. The teams now en-
tered should not object. Aside from
the money consideration, there is con-
siderable glory to be won by victory,
and no team can we'll afford to object.
The tug of war is got up to decide which
can put'forth the best team,
and every team should be ready 70 pull
against the best. 1t would also be
capital idea to make the captains of
each team make affidavit that the mem
bers OF his team are as represented.

instruction of horses in swimming is
given with the greatest care in the Ger

men who have failed to treat the animals

A remarkable feature of the great French
maneuvers WAS the precision with which
the troops marched into camp after days
work. "They moved easily enough" says
an Englishman who was present, land the
artillery got from the field rapidly and in
beautiful order.'
The best type Of rapid fire gun for sea-
men landing parties is the Hotchkiss thir-
ty-seven millimeter revolving cannon. The
gun is mounted on field carriage, the
carriage supporting two boxes of ammuni-
ton in addition to the piece. A timber
mounting reserve ammunition is also sup
piled. The projectiles from thirty seven
millimeter will knock down any barricade

Athadon Trots in 2:s8-Direct
Fails to Lower His
Record.

There was more record breaking al
Stockton yesterday. The yearlings are
still cutting the mark, and no one can
predict where they will quit. Last
year when Freedom broke the worlds
record by trotting mile in 2.2934, the
trotting breeders OF this country were
astonished; yet within a year three
yearlings lower this record, and two OF
them over three seconds. The five
fastest yearling trotters are: Frou
Frou, 226; Bell Bird, 2:26I4; Athadon,
2:2S; Freedom, 2.29sz, and Norlaine
2:3l3s.l Los Angeles breeders have
helped to produce these record breakers.
The grand dams dam OF Frou Frou was
bred by Hancock johnson the dam of
Bell Bird was bred by L. j. Rose, and
the dam OF the eire of Freedom was also
bred by the master of Rosemeade. This
is remarkable showing for this county.
Dow Williams, the Santa Anita train
er, was in the city yesterday. In con-
versation with HERALD reporter he
remarked that the Santa Anita string
won thirty-eight races during the sea-
son. Santiago was the star of the sta
BILE. He won eight races, and at Chicago
ran 11s miles in the sensational time of
:531a. Los Angeles won six, and Santa
Ana four races. Galindo, and Salonica
showed to be the best 2-year-olds, the
former winning five and the latter four
races. Santa Ana was one of the best
3-year-olds OF the year, and If the writer
is not in error was the only 3.year-old
that beat La Tosca, undoubtedly the
best S-year-old of 1891.

Paragraphs about the mating of Fir
enzi and Salvador have found their way
in almost every paper in America. but
nothing is said about the proposed mat
ing Of Los Angeles and Emperor of Nor
folk. There is a whole lot of glamor
attached to Salvator's brilliant victories
over Tenny and his wonderful record
made over q straightaway track, but it
should not be overlooked that Emperor
OF Norfolk was greater 3-year-old than
was Salvador. Unfortunately, the great
son of Norfolk and Marian was broken
down early in his career by an incompe-
tent trainer. Los Angeles next to Fir
enzi was the greatest horse on the
American turf in 1889 and 1890. She is
just as aristocratically bred. Both are
by Glenelg. Los Angeles during her
brief career has won over fifty races--a
record that neither Firenzin or any
other mare can equal.
