GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The Stewards acting at the Gravesend
meeting came to the conclusion yester-
day that 1t was about time that they
did something to let the public know
they were alert and vigilant, 80 they
suspended Reiff. the little Jockey who
rldes for McCafferty and the Duke
Bros. The Stewards did not deign to
give any explanation of their action.
They simply announced that they were
dissatisfied with Reiff's riding of Wat
terson. Reporters are. as n rule, quick
to notice a queer bit OF riding. They
are compelled to note every horse In the
race in order that positions at every fur
long may be given. No one In the stand
noticed that Rein In any way rode a
bad race. Perhaps he was a trife too
confident with Watterson on Saturday.
but this Is a fault that every jockey
possesses. No one with a grain of sense
who saw Watterson going easily a fur
long from home on Saturday will admit
that Reif deliberately pulled the horse
back to let Sullross win. Yet such Is
the impression shat the v~igilant and far
seeing Stewards seek to convey. Wat.
terson's victory yesterday was justified
by public form. He is "A heavy headed
handle. and the action Of the Stewards
is a grand stand play pure and simple:
Instead of applause. they will be greeted
with derisiye smiles. The matter has
been referred to the Jockey Club Stew
ards, VINO will sit In dignt1ed judgment
on this poor lad.
What a gratuitous slap in the face the
Stewards OF the Jockey Club gave

Mr.. Spier's letter that horsemen would
be outlawed If they raced at the unli-
| censed Beach course Tomorrow. They
knew then that their members had, as

way to boast of their authority. How
much more pleasant 1t wouli have been
to say that negotiations were pending.

for the Memorial Day races at the

A despatch from ST. Loiis says Judge
Lnughlin yesterday sold thirty thorough
bred stations, brood mares and colts
from the stud of Il. e. Pate. to satisfy
a deed OF trust, made by Mr.. Pate II
favor of j. l.. Griswold. Mr.. Pate some

HIGH SCHOOL.

Forrest City is about to take the most important step in her history. No enterprise or undertaking can ever rival in importance to our advance ment, the question of absolutely first class schools. It is the ore great and overshadowing need of the hour. Be- low we reproduce from the Paragould SoliphoDe, an article from the pen of Mir. Geo. 0. Light, which will interest and enthuse you. He says on the sub ject of
 "A COLLEGE FOR PARAGoULD,
 "1'his phrase has B golden sound. What does 1t mean ? It means lifting Northeast Arkansas up in the scals of intellectual power, and making her the peer Of any section of our glorious State, and 1t means erOwniDg Para gould as the Queen city of Northeast Arkansas, and making it the center of learning for this section, the Athens of Arkansas. Other sections Of our State have their colleges and noble insTitu- tions of learning, and other sections today hold tbe reins of our governmet, control our affairs and reap our honOrs. Think of it 1 We must come to the front, and to do this, we have no other way than by educating, building ID. It is q sad story in our history, but true, that io every campaign in cur State since she has donned the robe of statehood. that Northeast Arkansas has been ignored and used only as a tool to swell the Democratic majorities for men Of other sections.
 'Tis sad picture to behold, when one places this portion of the State, rich in resources. with her fertile val leys, extensive forests and plains dot ted over with farms, smiling with beautiful harvests. and her towns and ,citjes astjR with commercial activity.

It has been the custom heretofore to send the boys and girls off to complete their educa- tion,h but let us quit it, for we have the faculty here second to none in the state and the people are clamoring for college.

WE are pleased to call attention to

WE are pleased to call attention to the announcement of Mir. James Has ley as a candidate for Representive. We have known MT. Hasley for a num- Der of years. He is a quiet, modest man. and goes about his business, ,noak- ing no effort for powerful influence, yet we doubt if any man in St. Francis county is more fayorably and better known than James Hasley. His letter heads, printed by us when be was in business here, carries the motto ot Live and let live" and conveys q true impression Of the man B character. Frank, honest, and without particEs Of deceit, envy or yindictigeness. he is a man of much higher attaiDments than the casual observer would give him credit for, and improves upon acqusint- ance. At the age of fourteen he went to work upon the Pennsylvania system of railroads, afterwards upon the North ern Pacific, Union Pacific, and other lines, until in 1881 he was engaged by Superintendent Hartman of the Little Rock and It. Smith R. R., to rebuild all the stone culverts and abutments on that railroad. During that employ ment he wrote many sketches for va rious newspapers Many for Opie Reads Arkansas Traveller, and the Railway Age. of Chicago, The latter after publishing series of articles written on Railway Masonry, requested the privilege of publishing them in book form. which they did. and Hasley's Railway Masonry and Bridge Founda- tions, is standard authority on that line of work. For THE TIMES he has contributed several bright articles, the latest being very well written article, Notes From the Bend,' which clear ly shows his interest in the bottom lands of this county. Mr. Hasley was employed by Superintendent Flemming of the Little Rock and Memphis road to make repairs upon the bridge at Madison, and eventually married and settled there, donating tract of wild land along the river just above Madi- son of which he has made beautiful farm and upon which he lives. All though business reyerses and successive overhows have sadly pressed him, he is still enthusiastic in his efforts for Griggs township. A great friend of the Levee board as well as to the peo- pie of the over6owed lands, and desire above all things to see the repeal of the law which makes tramel net fishing for the market misdemeanor. MT. Hasley announces himself rather late but we believe bis claims will receive tue consideration of the voters at our primary election. He is an earnest, fair minded and intelligent democrat --one we'll worthy of their hearty sup port
