gave him the finishing touch; but it was a
narrow squeak. When the horn sounded to
let the rest know that the game had been

bear, Il very large female, almost black in

did not rise on its hind legs for the final

to fire his last shot, which luckily proved
fatal, with the muzzle pointing almost
straight down.
In the lair, which was formed in the snow

three small cubs, which were distributed to
the huntsmen.

notion that Russians have not as much sport
ing blood in them as other nations. When I
saw ladies of the same nationality doing the
same thing as the skaters at the Yusoupoff
Gardens, but not on quite so steep an ice
hill, it was also a revelation. For some rea-
son or other people abroad imagine that all
women in Russia lead a dangerous existence,
reclining on luxurious divans and eating
bonbons. On the contrary, the beau sere here
does not seem to have lost its vivacity in the
least, i'll spite of the centuries of masculine
predominance, not to call it by harsher

Eight people find ample room in a sleigh
with all the thickness of bear-skin furs and
robes. The seats are as low as possible and
the front of the sleigh has wide leather wings
to give protection from the wind and the
snow. The drives are in all directions around
st. Petersburg. Sometimes they go as far as
Tsarkoe Sielo and Pavlovsk, a distance Of
thirty miles. Most of the journey is over an
open expanse where the winds blow free and
keen. The dances are puzzling to an Ameri-
can. They have not the variety that prevail
at home, but in common with the rest of
Europe the Russians whirl themselves off
their feet without thoughts of reversing.
A few days ago friend invited me to join
party of gentlemen at his country place for
the excitement of bear-hunt. This form of
sport is in such great demand in st. Peters
burg, that an invitation is eagerly accepted.
The peasant who discovers a "bierloga," or
the lair where bruin is alternating, guards
his secret as though it were a gold mine.
The greatest gentlemen of the land often take
advantage of a landowners invitation to come
down with their imperial suites to extermin-
ate the shaggy-coated treasure.
The following night, therefore, I found
armed with a Winchester, a heavy bear
skin overcoat and felt boots. My friends
team and sleigh were awaiting me at the
depot. My friends house is built like the
majority of country houses, of logs covered
with nearly dovetailed boards painted
brownish yellow. Day had just begun to
break. The courtyard was scene of great
animation. About 200 peasants with sticks
and guns awaited impatiently the signal to
start A servant was serving out liberal
doses of vodka. Indoors the huntsmen were
already at breakfast. By six O'Clock we
started for the place where bruin lay. Ivan,
the peasant who had discovered the bear
allotted positions in semi-circle to the
huntsmen, of whom there were nine.
The excitement now began. At given
signal the heaters closed in upon the other
side of the semi-circle firing guns and max
ing all the noise possible. We were placed
forty yards apart. The heaters could be
heard approaching, but no signs of bruin.
The suspense was becoming unpleasant A
few hares darling by gave one a start Sud-
denly there was the crack of a rife to my
left. Then knew that our bear had emerged
from his hole and was trying to break
through the lines. Cr-r-rack cr-r-rack
went the rifles. Hewas running towards my
station. The report of my neighbours gun
was followed by a wild howl like that of a
stuck pig. Bruin had been hit and was run

turn of speed. Lamplighter holds the posi-
ton of top weight, with 1877 pounds, rather
from lack of high class material. This is
confession of the poor quality of our older
division. However great a horse, the five
year old son of Spendthrift may have been in
private, his career in public has never war
ranted his taking rank with animals who
have previously held the same post of honor.
The four year old division will have an I'M
usually good chance in the Handicap. Lamp
lighter, Yo Tambien and Domino are the most
dangerous present outside factors 1t has be-
come almost an axiom, that a mare or three
year old cannot win either of the three spring
events. AS to Domino, the chances are all
against his going to the post. On account
of the moderate quality of the Handicap,
third rates are not to be passed over lightly.
race-horse of high quality, if he remains in
the Handicap, will be heavily backed. Cliff
ford's only defeat of first-cass horses was in
his defeat of Lamplighter and 70 Tambien
in the special sweepstakes, and yet he is en-
titled to the highest consideration. In the
spring at Latonia he ran in lao 1-4-fast
time for the track-and won the Latonia
Spring Prize, mile and furlong, in 1.53 10
with 100 pounds beating several fine horses
Pentus, Prince Deceiver, Aldebaran, Dare
Vela and Semper Lex. Prince Deceiver forced
the pace to the stretch, where Clifford
passed him and won easily.
Clifford may be dangerous horse, but 1
stand by Don Alonzo and Sir Walter to cap
ture the big race Don Aonzo proved he
could stay over the Derby distance, one mile
and half, last year, and he also demon
strated he had a great turn of speed and
could carry weight. He should improve on
last years form and prove in 1894 one of the
best 4-year-olds ON the turf Sir Walter
proved that he was a game first-class race
horse last season. While he did not run up
to his 2-year-old form, he proved he could
carry weight and nearly always finished
strong in the best of company Another
great horse, whom few people will pay atten.
ton to, but who will run well in the Brook.
Ign Handicap, is Ajax, but 1 expect Don
Alonzo or Sir Walter, if they start well, will
be the real contestants, and I am confident,
with Garrison, Taral, Hamilton or Lamey in
the saddle, that two-thirds of the &c, 900 who
will witness the race, not speaking of the half
million who bet or the event in every city in
America, will play Don Alonzo.

both profit and amusement have also been
waiting to see if President Cleveland intends
to do anything for Schurz, That the Presi-
dent owes him something more substantial
than mere esteem is generally conceded even
by those who have no liking for Mr.. Schurz.
Mr.. Schurz is not likely to seek any elective
office in the near future for, as has been
said he is not popular with the party leaders
and has no special strength with the masses.
The leaders by no means underrate the man.
They are free enough to admit his ability.
They are glad to employ his talents in behalf
OF their candidates, as the rulers of the past
were willing to hire Dugald Dalgetties to do
their fighting for them. But they are not
willing to take him into their councils, and
SO the matter stands. Despite Schurz's lack
of magnetism and of that popularity with
the masses that men like Reed or Mckinley
or David B. Hill seem SO easily to command,
he is force in affairs in New York and in
the country that ought not to be underesti-
mated. In any campaign the announcement
that Carl Schurz is to speak in the New York
Academy of Music on purely political topic
is sure to crowd that house from top to bot
tom. What is more, the audience will be of a
different order from those usually to be seen
at political gatherings. They remind one of
the great meetings that Roscoe Conkling on
occasions made speeches before, when the
academy used to be thronged with the most
prominent men, and women, too, to hear the
famous senator denounce the Democratic
party in his Characteristic way The audi
ences that Mr.. Schurz attracts are of much
the same sort. He has not the grace of ap-
pearance and delivery that marked Conkling
and Blaine, and marks Ingersoll and Depew
His eloquence, for he is eloquent, is more
after the style of the late George William
Curtis, than whom there have been few more
accomplished orators of this generation. His
English is the English of the great masters
of that tongue, from Shakespeare down. In
the charm of his speech you forget the some
what harsh voice, the angular form and the
not altogether graceful gestures of the ora
tor. 1t is the matter, not the manner that
attracts, and when printed the speech will
read as well if not better than it sounds.
Despite his wide reputation Mr.. Schurz is
not known in his own personality in New
York nor does he seek to become known.
Though he has been successful practical
politician he prefers to be known as a
scholar and reformer in politics. It is as
such that he has opposed the rule of Tammany
Hall in the city and Senator Hill in the State
Of New York and it has been as such that he
has for years past cast his lot with the Mug
wumps in New York.
Since Mr.. Schurz settled in business in New
York he has lived very quietly just outside
the city, making few friends save those whom
he had already tried. For some reason he has
refrained from practising law, his own pro-
fession, and instead has sought to achieve

Domino has so many rich engagements in
stakes that his owners will hardly risk him
on so severe test, but little Leonawell. re-
garding his bold bid last year, is very hope
full horse. He is on the suspicious list and
neither his owner nor trainer can feel conf
dent about his standing preparation. The
contest appears to be confined to Don Alon-
20, Sir Walter, Ajax and Sport, all of which
look tempting. They will be closely backed
by st. Leonards, Dr. Rice, Bassetlaw and G.
w. johnson. Bassetlaw improved so much
last season, that the position he is now in
would make him a coat of a different color
and fit. Sport, for the reason that he was at
his best in the spring, must be an important
factor His Intellectual efforts at Monmouth
made it plain that the big chestnut had
trained right off. He was a formidable an
tagonist in the Gravesend and Morris Park
meetings, and he is such a gluten for
short distance, that there is no denying
his claim. st. Leonards relies more on
a private reputation, than on anything he has
done in a race. 1t is claimed that the
American Derby Knocked him to pieces. His
racing in the East was not encouraging, as it
gave the impression that his heart was not
as big as it might be, which would be fatal in
a race like the Brooklyn Handicap. He will,
however, have the advantage of being pre-
pared by a man who is past master in the
art of preparing horse for particular race.
According to the scale which places the diff
ference of five and four year olds at five
pounds in May, Clifford has but a pound the
better of Lamplghter. just how good he is,

by him believe his chances are good. He is

1t seems strange but nevertheless it is turf
history, that no horse has twice won the
Brooklyn Handicap, and no jockey has pilot
ed two winners. The Brooklyn Handicap is
now worth $4,000 to the winner, and
in the future the race, as it increases in
popularity, will be worth probably as much as
the American Derby, which is worth $5O,O00
to the winning horse.
