Now 3-year-old must oe greaI one
to beat older horses at weight for age, to
sav nothing of such concessions as His
Highness was called upon to make.
OBJECT LESSONS FROM ENGLAND.
Looking across the water, we find but
few examples OF any handicaps won by
Swear olds, and then only in the fall OF
the wear. The unparalleled performance
OF Foxhall, bred in Kentucky and owned
by James R. Keene, at one time eoltor
OF the Shasta Courier. was so excep,,
tional in character as to be unlikely OF
repetition for years to come. He car,
ried ITO pounds in the Cesarewitch and
1926 in the Cambridgeshire OF 1881, and
won both races with something to spare.
The former is above two and one-fourth
miles, while the latter is tritie less
than a mile and quarter. We now
give list of 3-year olds that have won
these races since 1840, both being run
in the month of October, two weeks
apart.

THE OTHER SIDE.

But these races were run in October,
when every one of the winners was from
4S to AS months old. 1t is quite a diff
ferent matter between this and racing
in the early spring when colts are from
.S8 to SO months old. Take the two
greatest of the English spring handi-
CAPS. The first of these ia the Lincoln
shire, run in April. From 1857 to 1890,
a period OF thirty-four years, it has only
been won three times by 3-year-old.
These Victories were by Huntington.
S3 pounds, in 1857 Treasure Trove, Y
pounds, in 1866, and by Tomahawk, 8S
pounds, in 1874. Now let us look up
the two next important spring handi-
caps, both run early in May, for the last
forty years:

And now having shown now COM
pletely overtaxed 3-year-old is IN being
asked to compete with older horses In
the spring at any distance above mile,
let us review lot of miscellaneous per-
formances on
THE AMERICAN TRACKS.
The best that any 3-year-old has ever
done in the Suburban, was on the
heavy, muddy track OF 1887, when the
Palo Alto-bred colt Orifamme ran sec
ond to old Eurus. In the Brooklyn, run
three weeks before the Suburban, no o.
year-old has ever yet been good enough
to get third money. At Chicago, the
Oakwood handicap, at nine furlongs,
has been twice won by 3-year-old
in nine years-Rapido In 1886 ana
Ceverton in the presentyear. Ban FOX,
the sire of Montana who won this year 9
Suburban, made the greatest trial run OF
1884, but when it came down to the race
he could get no better than fifth, the
race heing won by Troubadour in five
seconds slower time than Ban Fox's
trial. The truth is that in the spring OF
the wear the older horses always
are go much better seasoned
that they can wear down
the 8 year-olds in the fore part OF the
race. IL YOU want 3-year-old to be
right on edge for race of mile and a
quarter. YOU must have one that can do
| the distance in 2:09 in private to be
able to cover the ground in IL In
race against other horses older tnan
himself. Mr.. Rogers narrates tha'
Stuyvesant did mile in l 40 at years
old, with 112 pounds up. He was SO as
tonished at the trial that he moved him
a mile, five days later, in company WIFI
THE HEROIC TRoUBADoR.
With 10S pounds on Stuyvesant ano
11S on the son of Lisbon, Mr.. Rogers
was astonished for the second time, al
the 5 wear old beat the colt with con
summate ease in l AZ. 1t is therefor'

To Do Auax with Ksx sockets.

A device has been brought out intend
ed to do away with the use of key
sockets in incandescent lamps, by
means of which the lamp is lighted or
extinguished by simply pulling the sus-

over it by placing the switch on the cell

CITY AND SUBURBAN.

So It would seem that in the long
space of forty years these races have
been won by 3-year-olds just fourteen
times for the Newmarket and thirteen
for the City and Suburban. The New
market has been won in the same period
seven times by 5-year-olds and fourteen
times by 4-year-olds. The City and
Suburban has been won in the same pc
riod fourteen times by 4.year-olds and
eight times by 5.year-olds. And in only
two out of entier 81 cases has the 8.
year-old carried within five pounds of
entitled weight,
Los Angeles herald., 1892-07-10
BELOW THE SCALE.

In every one OF twenty-seven victories
in the aforesaid tabulation the winning
colt ran with less than his entitled
weight. Going out across the Indian
ocean, we find like condition of affairs
in Australia, where the greatest handi-
cap in the world--the Melbourne cup
is run in the spring of the year. This
race is a dash Of two miles, and the
added money has been increased from
$4,000 in 1861 to 5000 at the hepresent
era. Since 1879 there has been but one
year QS89) that there have been less
than twenty-seven starters. In the
whole thirty two years of its existence,
it has been won but thrice by three
year -old-Chester with 9S lbs, in 1877;
Grand Flaneur, with "a lbs, in 1880
and Martini Henry, with 1OS lbs., in
1883. The Caulfeld cup has been an
annual fixed event for twelve years, dis /
tance one mile and half. 1t is run
three weeks prior to the Melbourne cup.
and has never been won by three
year-old. Now mark the difference in
regard to the fall races. The Australian
cup at Melbourne, two miles and a
quarter, and the Sydney cup, two miles,
are both fall races. Here's the record

Yesterday afternoon at San Pedro
Springs park the High School and Anal
gamated foot ball clubs were pitted against
each other for honOrs of that field of sport.
1t was one of the best games played this
season. The AmalgamatedS, backed by
several Mission and San Antonio boys,
were very strong. but their opponents
were in it somewhat also. The High
School team, composed of only the school
boys, was very strong and they did some
of their best work. 1t was a nip and tuck
game clear through. The ball would be
first in one goal and then in the other.
There was some very hard kicking done
and great deal of Scrambling. The re-
suit being that two new foot balls will
have to be purchased.
The score was the best made this sea-
son. from base ball mans standpoint, is
being nothing to nothing, and it is very
hard for the reporter to say who had the
best of the game. but competent judges
agree that the High School boys played
the best game. Those boys are catching
on to some of the San AntOniOS' tricks. A
large crowd was present to witness the
game and all went away perfectly salts
fed. not regretting in the least the price
they paid to see it. =. 70

A Thanksgiving Pounding.

Last night, at S'clOck, while the Rev.
T.. T.. Everett, pastor Of the Sunset Bap-
tist church, sat resting alone in his par
lor at West End, (hiS friend and deacon,
Mr.. j. G. Hogan who was visiting him
having excused himself from the room
for mOment) he was suddenly aroused
by numerous rappings at the door.
Answering the summons, he was con-
frOnted by a whole front yard full of the
members and friends of his church.
He was completely overwhelmed with
surprise and qualification. Welcoming
the company and seating the gree ter part
in the the hall and parlor, he ran up
stairs TO bring his wife down to see the
parlor full of church men berS. He had
barely finished introducing her to the
company when he looked iptO the hall to
find it filled up with fl our, can goods, DO
tatoes, coffee, sugar. lard, hams, pickles,
pecaEs, rice oatmeal, dried fruit, jams,
etc, etc.
The good wife claimed all these good
things for her pantry. but she could
not claim the elegant silver head
umbrella, and pair of gloves pre-.
septed to the minister by the young
ladies Of the church. The pastor STAN
mered his thanks in manner more heart
felt than rhetorical, and the party, some
forty in number, began TO enjoy them
selves. The young people retired to the
dining room and INDUCED in such play as
their ingenuity suggested until Deacon
Hogan summoned them back into the
, parlor at $3.50 o'clock to attend the clos
ing exercises. The company arose and
sang the dOxoogy, Praise God from
Whom all Blessings Flow" Deacon
Hogan read the 95th psalm and the pas
tor followed in prayer, and with few
concluding remarks expressing his graft
tude, and extending cordial welcome al
| any time, the company retired, and took
the ten o'clock car to the city.

SHORT STOPS.
What the people are Saying.

1t is not a pleasant thing to contem-
plate an unchanged condition of affairs In
| the management of our public business.
The reckless extravaganza and waste that
has marked our city government for the
past few years is serious matter Tor the
consideration Of every good citizen.
The spectacle of set of public officials
holding high carnival at the public eX-
pense and in defiance of intelligent public
opinion must put every thoughtful man
to thinking. Such state of things can
not continue without bringing public dis
aSIer.
Our city has continued to grow but it
has not continued to improve in business
as it should, and among the people there
is a general complaint of hard times; the
burdens of taxation have been increased
out of proportion to the increase Of
wealth.
There has been no disposition shown
by those in Office to tighten the burden
born by the taxpayers, on the contrary
there las been. a steady increase Of taxa
ton, in order to meet the wants of the
political machine that luns our public
business.
1t is fact, and not to be disputed, that
our elections are turned In favor of set
of NJ en- who hold all honest methods in
contempt because they are able to control
an irresponsible voting element at their
command.
Public disaster must be inevitable I'M
less this thing is changed, and it can only
be done by the united effort of the people
who really bear the public burdens and
pay the public expense.
1t is futile for the local press to pu fl our
city, for its many natural advantages
and inducements to capital; such puffS
ard not waited beyond our city limits.
Our corrupt local politics has longer
legs than our local advantages. Our
reputation for bad local government and
mismanaged finance, and increasing tax
alton, is known far and wide.
X
Tamale politics must come to an end,
our city put upon better basis. before our
climatic advantages will avail us any
thing.
