Horse Racing in England.

The growth of horse racing as pop
ular sport in England and the extent of
the general public interest in it is sutfi-
ciently proved by the fact that the Lon
don Times thinks 1t necessary to devote
the greater part Of a page to racing ste
tistics. 1t gives, among other things, a
list of the principal owners of winning
horses during the last six years, and the
amount of their gains, mentioning only
those who have made more than $4,000
a yeer for the period under considera-
tion. 1t appears that nineteen owners
of race horses won altogether in the six
years rather less than a million sterling
in prizes alone the list beginning with
the Duke of Portland, who won more
than e147 900, and ending with several
gentlemen who carried Offmore than $50
600. There were no less than 76 owners
whose horses won for them last year less
than $4,000 and more than el,000.-
Speaking roughly, there are hundred
owners whose winnings in one year are
between e1,000 and $4,000. In 1889
the Duke of Portland carried off more
than e73,000, but that was due to Sc
ries of successes altogether exceptional.
A better idea of the extent of the business
is obtained from the racing fixtures, of
which there are 100, all more or less i'm
portant, for next year, to say nothing of
the countless third and fourth-rate local
meetings. 1t is plain that all the chief
prizes 60 to the very rich persons who
do not need them, and that, except in
the case of minority of horse owners,
racing itself is not paying business. If
it were, it would of couse be undertaken
by business men and stock companies
The idea that it is maintained by patri-
OTIS who wish to improve the race of
English horses no longer obtains much
credit. A few of the very rich are will
ing to contribute largely to its support
for their own pastime, but, of course, the
real reason why it hourishes there as
elsewhere is that it gratifies the the hu.-
man passion for gambling and excite
ment.

Very respectfully,
JOHN POLLOCK.
Jos. A. HENDERSON.
A Flirts Resolves.

Springfield Union.
If don't make any good resolutions
shall profit by the folly of certain
of my ways in 1892. I've been pom

Portable situations have had to untan
gle during the year, and conclude tina
they were due to my criminal careless
ness. In fact, have been too haphazar(
and shall systematic my course fol

accepted every man who came along
either as fiance, probationary fiance o.
just as plain, ordinary friend, without
troubling myself to avoid complications
When they found each other and my
self out they said itt was deucedly un
pleasant, and thought so, too.
To how many men may one girl be
engaged at the same time? Well, that's
easy. To just as many as she can pos
sibly manage, and they're the very easi-
est class to manage, too. Yes, l can
keep five fiances well in hand, l think
Each one is so mortally sure when his
Carrie says he is dear boy that she can
never, never repeat those precious words
to another man, that he wouldn't think
of suspecting that he is an idiot.
And if let him lavish presents upon
me during the short term of our en-
gagement he will be doubly confident of
me- Therefore, resolve that l shall
not be engaged to more than five men
simultaneously, that l shall expect many
presents from them, that shall not re-
turn them-the presents-and that l
shall be careful not to wear Harry's
rings while Dick is asking me to name

To how many men may girl be half
sistered?
That's such a hard question that l
hate to face it. When you have an un-

boisterous and jealous. He glowers and
frowns and delves into your past. He

many understandings. Therefore, be it
resolved, that l shall have no more than
one or two as little dash of bitterness
in the good times coming.
Lastly, with how many men may a
girl have platonic friendships?
All, they are the best, the safest and
the jolliest of all. If man is not cad,
if he doesn't discuss the girls he knows
with other fellows at the club, if he
doesn't indulge in fatherly lectures, but
is an all-around man to trust, why |

Yes, l have resolved to devote myself
to my friends this year. But, of course,

quainted and makes perfectly unpar-
donable remarks when he gets jealous.

resolutions. know 1 can keep mine.

Baron Hirsch's Charity.


Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Since Christmas, Baron Hirsch has
been busy writing big checks and mail
ing them to hospitals and other charita-
BILE institutions in London, this being
his unique way of spending the money
which his race horses win on the British
turf each year. He has already distrib-
uted about 100000, and his list is not
yet exhausted. Somewhere about Christ
mas tide also the good Baron apparently
began to ruminate upon the uncertain
ties of life, and his cogitations ended in
decision to relinquish his S10,000,000
worth of shares in the Jewish colonial
tion in such manner that the great work
of settling poor Russian and Polish Jews
in free countries might be carried on
after his death. His shares represented
the bulk of his capital with which he
endowed the colonization scheme, and
he retained them himself in order to
maintain control of the work. He has
now formally transferred $500 $500
oudiCo w olo OouHOl1 vi 1uO AHSlo-JoW-
ish Association to be held in trust in

similar gifts of shares are to be made,

Citations in New York, Paris, Berlin,
Vienna and Frankfort, with which he
has been associated in the execution of
his gigantic scheme 1t is further stated,
with some show of authority, that the
Baron has arranged that after his death
his race horses in England shall be sold
and the proceeds, liberally supplement-
ed with money from his general estates,
applied so as to form permanent en-
dowment fund for British hospitals.

COLD COMFORT FOR MR.. CLEVELAND
Cleveland Leader.
If Grover Cleveland can get any salts
faction out of the vote of his party, in
the Senate Monday upon the question
of taking up the bill for the repeal OF
the silver purchase law, he is welcome
to it. One would have supposed from
reading Mr.. Cleveland's pronunciamento
upon the subject few days since that
the Democrats would vote for the repeal
bill to man. The only fear he had
was that the Republicans might oppose
it because ne had oome out in favor of
it. There are thirty-nine Democrats in
the Senate. Thirty four of them voted
upon the motion to take up the repeal
ing bill, twenty-five in the negative and
r but twelve in the affirmative. The other
five Democratic Senators were paired
three against consideration and two for
it. That makes the Democratic Sena-
tors stand twenty-five to fourteen against
the repeal of the Sherman law. That
is the record which Mr.. Cleveland's
party has made in response to his earnest
appeal to them. He told his party that
The repeal of the silver purchase act was
the greatest necessity of the hour, and
his party representatives in the Senate
have declared by vote of almost two
to one that they do not agree with him.
There can be no other explanation of
the Democratic vote, and in view of the
record made by the Democrats in the
House and Senate last winter upon the
silver question, it is not surprising in
the least. The Republicans who oppos-

ENGLAND's sHREwD DIPLOMACY.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
There has been a marked change in
the tone of the London press respecting
Hawaiian annexation. At the outset
there were protests indicating that Eng
land would have something to say in the
matter. Since the government has man.
ifested so little concern, virtually con-
cluding that British interests in the
islands will be safe in American hands,
the tenor of press comments has been
greatly modified. What is the meaning
of this? No one is justified in the belief
that the British lion does not stand ready
to lay its paws upon any little tidbit of
stray territory that might chance to fall
in its way. A contemporary suggests
that England has learned not to be too
brash in reaching out in questionable
direction. A determined attitude of
hostility towards annexation by the
United States would have only made
that result all the more certain. The
seeming Indifference of England has
cooled American ardor somewhat already
and there is likely to be greater diversity
of opinion and much more deliberate
action by the Administration and by
Congress on that account.
That there will be no occasion to ap-
prehend trouble with England should
the United States enter into an arrange
ment with the provisional government
is very clear from the fact that the
British government so promptly recog-
nized the new authorities at Honolulu.
All that England will expect will be fair
treatment, and it has no reason to ap-
prehend anything else from this country.
1t can obtain that more freely by trust
ing to the American sense of fairness
than ny seeking to frighten us into re-
framing from doing something that we
think it our right and duty to do.
