GOOD LONG SHOT WINS.

Than the Public.

ENTRIES FOR To-DAY'S EVENTS.

There was better than good-sized crowd
at the Bay District track yesterday. and
speculation was unusually heavy. The
programme was put through in drilling
rain. but right on time. Mr.. Ferguson and
his assistant, John Merrill, covering them
selves with mud and glory, the fields being
all dispatched with promptness and
evennesS that merit unusual praise.
Two heavily played favorites in the
Kitten and Thornhil won for the talent at
the good odds OF two and a half and two
TO one. Red-hot fsyorites in Peril and
Figress were bowed over and gave their
supporters terrible fall. Tigress STUN
bled just when she was called upon for
her effort and ia stumbling threw her Jockey
and was able TO ride In the last race, where
he showed to considerable adyal tage on
that erratie brute, Sir Charles.
In the last event for maiden two-year-
.:oldS Mr.. White sprang upon the unsus pect-
2ng public remarkably promising green
one IN Hyder Augia, grand-ioOking bay
gelding by Hyder ALI out of Lady Middle
ton. who, by the way. is the dam of George
Roses good mudlark Middleton. That
probably was the reason why he figured al
the short odds be did, as heavy plunge
was made on him by select few, who cut
the odds on him down from ffteens to
threes. Mr. White thought his colt had a
chance to show and backed him in a small
way. but The lucky ones who played him
had simply their good fortune to thank for
their success and not their Judgment or
knowledge of stable commissions.
Hal Fisher opened up favorite in the
first race at to l. The Kitten ruling at

twos at the close, trailed Hal Fisher and
her field to we'll into the stretch. and chal-

lengths. The weight told on Hal Fisher,
who, however. stuck gamely enough o his
work, though be could do no better than

planned that there were only a dozen raw oys-

of four he must not be asked 10 take more. All
this the husband promised to remember.
When their guest had eaten his four oysters
the host asked him TO take some more. The
wife looked distressed and the guest declined.
The husband insisted that his friend should
have more. The wife looked as IL she were in
agony and the guest firmly refused to allow the
rest of the oysters 10 be brought from the
kitchen. Later the wife said TO her husband:
How could you urge him to have more oys-
tiers when | explained TO you that there weren't
any moTe?'

"Dut forgot all about It,"

monstrated its greatness. "Republi-

said: The proudest part Of thu

POLITICAL.

The per capita amount of interest paid
on the national debt in ls6G was 81 70. The
total amount Of interest payable then be-
ing sl33, 067, G25 per annum. Last year
the amount Of interest paid per capita OF
our population was only "a cents for each
man, woman and child in the United
States, the total amount of interest paid
having been reduced to s23,37 SIG pei
annum. Thus in less than thirty wears
there had'been decrease of S375 in aver
age annual interest charged to every in
habtant OF the United States, and q de-
crease of almost $40 900, 900 in the ag-
gregate charge. The way in which repub-
lican administrations paid off the national
debt under the protective policy should
not be forgotten at this juncture, when
Congress is now in complete democratic
control, with promises of free trade and
the unsettlement of all our industries.
1t must be humiliatlng indeed to the in
tellinent people of New York. to think
that the voice of the great Empire State is
not heard in the Senate. This is the pen

resented in that body by two very small
politicians of the Tammany stripe:-hen-
