RACE TRACK, MORRIS PARK, Oct
B.-The smallest crowd that ever attend
ed races at Morris Park probably filed
through the gates here to-day. To look
at the grand stand between races, one
would never suppose that 1t was a race
day. 1t was entirely deserted. save when
the races were being contested. Not
more than 1900 persons were present.
The weather was pleasant. and the track
In fine shape.
The special race Of Saturday was much
discussed to-day. Domino's supporters
were as loyal as ever, and argue that he
could not have been himself, while Henry
of Nayarre's friends believed that the
chestnut son OF Knight Of Ellerslie could
beat, Domino from quarter UP to two
miles. Another special Is talked OF, but
It IL hardly probable that the trio will
come together again this year.
John McCafferty told his friends that
Tom Harding was good, and worth a
bet In the first race. Having implicit
faith in the owner-tralner's tip. the
friends plunged on Tom Harding. They
we're disappointed. however, for Silvie
led from start to finish and won by two
lengths. Ed Kearney was third.
Kennel, the winner OF the second race,
was bid up to 1905, at which price his
owner retained him. He was entered to
be sold for $1,000 Jimmy ely, who
has an I'D gridge against Phi Dwyer,
did the bidding.
Griffin, the rider OF Roche, was called
into the stand after the fifth race 10
explain the running of the favorite. 1t
was hardly Griffin's fault that the horse
did not do well. Roche warmed up stiff
and sore, and could never extend him

The English sparrows have proved
a nuisance in the cotton country, for
as soon as the pods open they pick
out the cotton and carry it off, and
some planters have lost, as they
claim, hundreds of pounds in this
way. There is one man, however,
on the Mississippi that has not lost
much, says the st. Louis Chronicle.
When he found the Sparrows were
committing depredations ne procured
quantity of wheat soaked it in
sweetened whisky, and strewed it
along the rows. The sparrows found
it and thought they had picnic.
So they had, but in fifteen OF
twenty minutes there was the tipsiest
lot of English sparrows ever seen on
the face of this earth. They rolled
about on the ground, falling on their
sides and backs and kicking their heels
into the air like parcel Of drunkards,
all the while utterng the most
cumical squeaks. They did not have
long TO squeak, however, for the
boys gathered them up and threw
them into bags The first day they
gathered two bushels of drunken
sparrows. Three or four days later
the experiment was repeated witt
almost equal sue ess and from time
to time since. They made excellent
