The turf season of 1898 just closed will
for many years be memorable, because it
witnessed the triumphs of Domino, one of
if not the very greatest 2-year-Olds the
country ever saw. 1t will also be memor-
able because of the disapPointments and
defeats of Lamplighter, the popular idol,
and because it witnessed the ascendency of
his rival, Tammany, who easily proved
himself I.amplighter's master and beyond
doubt the champion of the turf Domino
triumphal career will live longest, however,
and will fill larger place in turf history.
A colt that eclipsed a HindOO, and IRE

Turf Music.
I've listened to the harmonies oi mass'd or

And been charm'd by UPeratic stars Of this and

PARDON GRANTED.
W. G. Davis Set Free for the sake of the
Woman He I-to Marry

Governor Mckinney yesterday pardoned
W. G.. Davis. who during the December
term of the present year was sentenced
in the Corporation Court OF Norfolk. 10
TWO years imprisonment i'm the peniten-
tiary for manslaughter. The Governor
i'm granting the pardon gives the follow
ing reasons:
''fhe testimony against the man is OF
a very doubtful character. the principal
witness being an eN-cOnvict from the
Virginia penitentiary. The prisoner
asseverates his innocence and that the
killing was done in self-defence. 1 am
inclined 10 believe that the act was
committed while he was being pursued
by "a number of negroes. and IL is be-
lieved that he was under the influence Of
liquor at the time. His pardon seems
to meet with the favor Of the Judge
who presided at his trial and u the Jury
who convicted him.
These are the facts. / am further
Induced TO pardon him in pity for the
good woman whom he is shortly 10
marry. | trust that the clemency ex-
tended TO him by the executive will in
duce him 10 be a sober man for the
rest or his life. and that he will be a
good and faithful husband to the woman
who has done so much TO secure his re-
lease from prison"

His Lecture Delivered nt the University
of Virginia.

In reference 90 the lecture recently
delivered by Rev. DR.. J. G. Hidden. Of
this city. at the University OF Virginia,
College Topics has the following
The Cd chapel held a large and at
tentive audience Friday evening the ljth
instant, drawn there 10 hear the Rev
J. q. Hiden, OF Richmond, deliver an
address on the life and writings Of
Edga~ Allan Poe Mr.. Poe was student
here IN 1896, and Of course the subject
was one calculated to be popular al the
University
Promptly at 7:30 o'clock Or. Charles W.
Kent our new Professor Of English Lit
erature, advanced 10 the front. and in
a few happy sentences introduced the
speaker of the evening. Dr. Hiden only
spoke for an hour and his lecture was
necessarily brief but ne covered the
subject in such an admirable manner that
little was left that might have been said.
The speaker began by saying that
Poo's biographer, Griswold was bitter
enemy OF the poet and that many OF his
statements concerning Mr.. Poe We're not
only erroneous but malicious. Mr.. Poe
was not idle and dlssipated at the Uni
versity but was a student Of signal
success. This is verified by the state
meuts OF a number Of prominent alumni
who were classmates Of the author and
mis- friends in college. That Poe was ex-
PEELED from the University is false. His
conduct was not even such as TO meet
with a single reproval from the authori-
ties. though the period was that when
the scrutiny IN searching out misdemean-
ors was especially severe
Continuing, Or. Hiden said that nothing
was further from the truth than that
many of Poes writings were the produc-
lions Of n drunken mind. on the con-
trary. one glass of wine was sufficient
for the time TO destroy his mental ac-
tiVity For The Raven" TO be written
by one under the influence Of liquor the
speaker pronounced absurd and impossi-
bic.
With reference TO the character Of Poe's
works DR.. Hiden noted two peculiar
points. First the absence of anything
10 exert moral influence good or bad:
second, that they partake Of no locality
whatever. These marks. he thinks. viii
prevent Poe's works becoming immortal.
No work, however intellectual with
these deficiencies, can stand the test Of
time.
Dr. Hiden's acquaintance with Poe's
works Is exceptional and reveals a care
tul study Of the most minute points I'm
his career His selection OF verse is
strikingy good. while his humor is al
ways weii-timed and happy
DR.. Hiden's lecture was Civen by
special request Of the Y. NJ G. A.. and
was the first Of series 30 be delivered
by popular lecturers and under the au-
spices of the ASSOCIATION.

A Genuine Owl Story.

Mr.. Porter Sublett. Of tine Sia.e Bank
has the foot of a big owl which was re-
Gently caught on the farm OF his uncle
Mr.. D. y. Porter, in Pow hatan county
one Of the toes was lacerated, laying
bare the sinew running down to the toe
nail. The story abou- the capture of the
Owl Us a peculiar one, but 10 is absolutely
true.
About year ago Mr.. Porter lost quite
number OF valuable chickens. and
thinking that possibly a mink might be
the chicken-thief. ne set a trap one day.
which he tied with piece OF thin wire
20 q bush. When he looked for the trap ne
found IL gone. and believing that uroia-
oiy some colored man might have taken
the trap with him. he did not give the mat
ter any further consideration
Recently he had again suffered the
loss OF some of his fowls. and being aGs-
ious to catch the thief if possible he set
up a howell and 10 his great surprise he
discovered i'm the same the following d3y
a biz owl. which had on one foot the iden-
tical trap which had disappeared about
twelve months before in such mystic
iious manner. The trap bad the piece OF
wire still attached TO g.. The only pos.
sible explanation of the occurrence IS
that tlie owl was caught In toe tiap about
twelve months ago. but by its physical
strength pulled tie wire Off The hrSl.
and got AVA. He has had The trap on
his loot eyer sine. and ne iron made
