| Richard Loudon" was soon heard in
merry refrain amid the babel of sounds
that echoed through the famous betting
ring at the Bay that eventiui September
afternoon
Now was our time and each of u. four
taking opposite ends Of the hollow square
of booknakers, started ahead down the
line to put on the money. Ny side was
the nearest the mutual boxes, and As
passed them I purchased twenty tickets
on tue horse. an investment OF hundred
dollars. Starting on down the bookmak-
ing line the first stand came 20 was that

He had 30 10 IN against my colt. L

after me: II say. Dick. do you want any

Wheeler answered: .All right: any

bet him three hundred more, and | would
have gone on, but he weakened amidst the
laughter of the nearest spectators OF the

However, I was more than pleased, as
had got $500 on against $4,000. and the
next bookmaker, Appleton, had only % to

was passing on when the sonorous voice
OF the "shouters" rose OH each side OF the
ring, Take Baylor off Richard Loudon,"
and for a moment business came 10 stand
still, many people, no doubt, expecting TO
see all bets declared of.
Well, l almost dropped in my tracks at
the announcement. HUrrying To greet
my three friends, told them TO stop bet
ting and come along with me. As we
started for the paddock the shouters were

offer TO the jockey from the owner OF
Woodbrook of more money to ride his colt.
Almost on 4 run, for the second bell had
sounded, and | had to either get jockey
or scratch, | reached the paddock, and as
good luck would have il, ran across John
Cadell, a jockey of fair ability, but rather
shady reputation. But it was he or
scratch, and promising him the same
terms as mad offered the Canadian scamp,
l got him the coiors and saw him weighed.
Then we four friends held consulta-
ton. We found that outside of my twenty
mutuals we had invested about 100 be-
tween US, on which the prospective win
nings were something over $4,000! My
partner wanted to go ahead and place the
other 5000. as there was still fifteen TO
one TO be had against the colt, in spite Of
the money we had got on.
But I, much disturbed by the rascally
trick played me by Baylor, the Jockey, de-

knew my colt was an easy one TO ride. So
| said to McDonough: go ahead and
put more if you like, bu, I'm only in with
what is already up" So We stood and
watched the horses go TO the post and
never went near the ring again, viewing
the race from the paddock.
At the post. just above the paddock, the
field of ten horses was marshaled, and the
usual collection of trainers, spectators.

which made all the difference in the world.
and if he had think my colt would have
beaten him. as the only real racing Richard
did in the race was in that next 10 the last
furlong in the homestretch.
Leaving McDonough TO alternately
shout himself hoarse and bewail our lack
of nerve IN not betting the rest Of our
money, hurried down TO meet the boy
and colt as they came back 10 weigh. and

1T LOOKS LIKE PORTLAND.
John S. Barnes Team Almost Sure Of
the Pennant-Thc Clubs Standing.

the Pennant-Thc Clubs Standing.
The first pennant race of the Pacific
Northwest League is practically settled.
Portland is almost sure of first place, with
Tacoma and Spokane fighting for second
and Seattle bringing up the rear. There is
a bare possibility of either Spokane or Ia
coma beating out Portland, but it will be
but little short of a miracle if one of them
accomplshes it. In order to do SO it must
win all of it's games this week and Port
must lose all, with the bare allowance of
one game either way. Seattle has about
as much chance to pull into third place as
Tacoma or Spokane of taking the lead.
Seattle and Tacoma will play a postponed
game this week, so that each of them has
yet five games to play, Portland and Ia
coma have each four games.
The Seattle team will reach home to-
night after very disastrous trip. having
lost five straight at Portland and three out
of four at Spokane. The team is, how
ever. getting into shape again and ought
to give a better account of itself. Kid
Camp will surely add strength to the
pitching department and Willie Lange
will soon be in shape to help out will his
stick work. On tomorrow the Tacoma
team will be here to play off postponed
game, and Camp and Earle will probably
be the Seattle battery. Beginning
Wednesday the Portlands will play four
games, winding up the first champ onship
race. Spokane plays four games at Ia
coma. beginning on Wednesday.
Following is the comparative standing
of the clubs up to date:

had administered to it was suffered by
Seattle today. Two pitchers, Parrot. and
Cunning, were batted hard, the former be-
ing taken out of the box in the middle of
the third. In addition to the pitchers be-
ing easy marks for the batsmen, Billy

bat After seven innings neither side
tried to do anything other than to end
the game as quickly as possible Sowders

PARROTS hit being poorly handled by

gusted with the poor playing of the visi-

Spokane at home until July 20, and 1900

Davy's Researches.

Sir Humphry Davy was so much in
terested in electricity that he made
many experiments which have become
historical in their utility. His brilliant
discoveries so excited him that he could
with difficulty leave them for needed
repose. He would have killed himself
by his constant experiments and steady
application to the science had he not
become Frustrated and his life endan-
gered thereby. His remarkable expert
ments, brilliant and triumphant, ate yet
to be outdone by more modern philoso-
pliers. Sir Humphry Davy's great bat
terry, composed of 1000 cells, became
world wide and historically honored. 1t
was the origin of the first flashes Of what
is now termed the electric arc. That
was eighty years ago, and note the grand
discoveries since then:
The idea of two pieces of charcoal, one
about an inch long and one less than a
sixteenth part of an inch in diameter,
being brought near to each other, till
they produce bright spark, for SO they
did. One part of the coal was imme.
diately ignited to whiteness, and by
removing them apart Davy found a con-
slant discharge of electricity took place
sufficiently strong to heat the air in a
given space three times their size. He
caught the idea in moment and studied
out the mystery which the two pieces of
coal had produced, grand scheme
and discovery. He saw the most bril-
liant ascending light, like a glowing
arch, broad and perfectly conical in the
middle.
The philosopher experimental to his
hearts content, each day bringing forth
new discoveries, and there is now no
higher scientific name known to men or
more honored for his great works and
discoveries than Davy, who, like Frank
lin. lived in his scientific experiments
and for humanity.
He, too, saw glorious discoveries to be
made, and hoped to live to witness the
result of many of his own discoveries.
