The Slack Season.

The painfully duh season between the
holidays and the spring business boom
still continues. IL is like the time which
l used, when a boy, TO hear the farmers
speak of as between hoeing and haying,
or between harvesting and threshing."
But nobody seems TO care about it. The
hotels are thinly patronized; but they all
manage 10 send goodly delegations to the
places of amusement every evening and
the theaters do not seem TO suffer from
the general dullness. AS for the retail
storekeepers they are doing a lively BUSH
ness In the way of selling off the leftover
holiday stock at a sacrifice" New York

combination of circumstances can prevent
nearly 100000 moving, busting people
from at least seeming lively.

On the evening of Wednesday, February
II, the Washington Commandery of the
Military Order of the Loyal Legion OF the
United States will meet at the Chamber OF
Commerce in this city. Major James

obtained from the Chamber of Commercs
the permission for the gathering.
This order, known in the army as tho
"Mollus"-a word made up by taking the
initials of the title--is composed of Union
officers who served during the late waf,
and their oldest sons. There are some

tertainment of the visitors.

All the big money on the turf does not
go to the starters and the men who hold
stock in the associations. Take Wyndham
Walden, for instance, grave and judicial
IN aspect, who during the past few years
has been training for ]. A. and A H.
Morris. Walden is also Virginian. and,
like the horses he trains, he boasts that he
comes of racing stock, as his father was
in the same business before him. Like
Jimmy" Rowe, he began as a boy about
the stable, finally donning the coveted
silk of the jockey, and when he got
too heavy to ride betook himself to train
ing. His contract with Morris and
son IS worth to him about SIS, 900 annually,
which is considerably more than any other
trainer earns. He receives fixed salary
of 81, 900 year and a percentage of the
winnings, affording him an aggregate in
come as above. He was formerly trainer
for Mr.. George Loiillard, and while in
charge of this stable developed the won
derful Sensation, the horse that as two
year-oid won eight straight stake races. 1t
was Walden that brought out the speedy
Tom 0chiltree and the Duke of Magenta.
and there are some horses in the Morris
stables at the present time of which a
great deal is expected.
There are Jockeys who earn in the course
of the year half as much as the president
OF the Oulleu states, ana LOT all these
luxurious incomes on the turf the meek
but speculative American public paws the
bills. And the large sums ghich are
being paid for horses indicate that there
is a belief in sporting circles that
it will keep on paying them. While it
has been questioned that Malcolm Forbes
paid $4,000 for Arion, the phenom
email 2-year trotter, l see nothing
unlikely in the story. Mr.. Forbes has the
money to make such an investment and
il is well known that he has a vaulting
ambition in the matter of yachts and fast
trotters. st. Blaise was knocked down az
public sale at 100000 and the horses that
sell for $4,000 TO $4,000 are becoming
quite common. And that large part Of
the public possessed of the hallucination
that it can beat the bookmakers at their
own game settles the score in the end.

creased yesterday by the addition of
6ls7, which, with the $2,51445 already
given, made total of $2,676.32, as shown
above.
The most notable contributions yester-
day were those from the officers and crew
of the steamship Umatilla, from Albert
Hansen. from the Catholic Total Absti-
nence Society, the First Methodist Episco-
pal Sunday-school, the Young Peoples
Society of the Second Presbyterian church
aud the printers of the Posr-ISrELLr-

house was very successful and as result
$3.50 will be added to the Posr-INrELLr-
GEScEs fund today.
All the money raised by the Posr-IsrEL-
LrGEscER is forwarded, as fast as it comes
in, to the relief committee at Roslyn. The
need is still great, and sums of from S
cents upward will be received at the Posr-
IxrEIIrGENcEs office and promptly ac-
knowiedged. In Sunday mornings paper
credit was inadvertently given to the Sc
