story Of his fathers neglect was widely circu-

flattering. and he was more hurt by them than
by the disgrace which he says has been
brought on his name by the boy 8 misdeeds-
He went to San Diego recently and while
there the Press League and their guests visit

was not invited to see the party. A few days
ago he surprised some OF his old friends at
San Diego by appearing shorn OF his locks and
without the Hitting suit OF black broadcloth
which he usually affected. He wore blue
flannel shirt. and his trousers were tucked in
his boots. He said that he had secured . her.
mitage in the mountains back Of San Diego
where he would not see the face of man. and
he proposed to renounce civilization.
He said his retreat back OF Oakland was too
public. people intruded on his privacy and
OF the world and its tattle. and thought in his
new mountain home he might write enough to
obtain subsistence. He would never again
send out anything under his own name. He
has now disappeared. and his friends are won

TRENTON. Feb. 23.-Another racing bill has
arrived. and 1t rests snugly In Assemblyman
Tom Flynn's inside coat pocket There was q
large delegation OF turtles here to-day. and
they talk Of rushing the bill through IN the
closing hours OF the session. All hope Of pass
ing the bills already before the Legislature
has been abandoned.
The new bill provides for racing during
twenty-fv days Of the summer months at the
option OF the boards of freeholders OF the vari-
Gus counties. The Board Of Control favors this
bill in order to help Monmouth Park. and Gut
tenbure and Gloucester. It Is reported. have
promised to keep their hands of. There is no
provision in the new bill to legalize bookmak-
Ing. hut nevertheless its Introduction will
be the signal for another big race
track demonstration like the one wit
the State Citizens League said he did
not think that Mr.. Flynn would have the
hardhood to introduce his bill. Race-track
legislation Of any sort could not be had this
year. as the League was determined to beat
any measure proposed. Good race-track bills,
in his opinion. are impossible things. He had
heard 1t said that some whiskey was poorer
than other whiskey. but no whiskey was bad.
That might be 80. but it was positively true
that while some race-track bills were better
than others. none Of them was good.
