DALY's CRACK COLT LAME.
Matt Byrnes viii Not Be in the
American Derby.

Matt Byrnes Win Not Be in the
American Derby.
CHICAGO. June 19.-The scratching
of Matt Byrnes has left Senator Grady
the favorite among Western h0rsemen
for the American derby. His price in
the pools is no lower than that
of Domino-both selling at 5 to l
in local books, but more money is going
on the Senator than Oh Domino at the
figures. The uncertainty of Domino's
start has something to do with this, no
doubt. as tho news concerning his start
for Chicago is affirmative one day and
negative the next. There is a growing
suspicion that c. Ii. CarmichaePs bay
colt Cash Day is better than generally
supposed, and is being saved for race
year. Cash Day made his first start at
Hawthorne today and fairly ran
away from his field. containing
such performers as Lucky Dog,
Loudon and Enlre. Those who
saw his performances were forced to
admit that he has at least a fighting
chance for the race. lie got off badly,
took things easily until well INTO
the stretch, and then s,nothered every
thing on the track. Despot was given a
two mile gallop at lhree-quarters shed.
and after Lucky Dog had been badly
beaten by Cash Day he was ridden out
a mile and quarter in 2:421
His chances seem exceedingly small,
but FOR all that he is announced as
certain starter. He has as yet shown
neither sufficient speed nur gameness
to Keep first-class horse i'll perspira-
ton, but he is gong to take the chance
of seeing all the other horses fall dead
before the wire is reached. He can
hardly win otherwise.

This event has always been the most
popular of all the big handicap races.
In the case of the Brooklyn handicap
few OF the contestants had started this
year, and their capacity was an uu-
known quantity and quality. Such,
however, is not the case with the Su-
burban, for all the entries have been
at the post this year, and all have been
run into good condition. 1t looks now
as if the starters would lie as follows,

Be Careful How You Speak.

People gossip too much about their associates,
and what smay be said in one spirit may be
repeated i'll another and far different one.
What may be said in the spirit of friendship
may be carried forward by others in the spirit
of criticism and enmity to serve some personal
purpose. Thus distorted it may come back to its
origin retaining enough of the original form TO
be recognized, but wholly different to all lntents
and purposes. Thus intimate friends may De
brought to variance with each other, and indeed
members of the same family separated by bar
rier that neither can remove, because neither
knows how much there is of falsehOOd and how
little of truth in the words that have caused all
the trouble 1t takes knowledge of both sides
of a persons character in order to form COM
plete Judgment of it. Be careful how you speak
of the peculiariteS of Others for there is danger
in it. We all have these peculiarities. There
are people in this world who sometimes appear
even to their close friends, worse than they
really are, and suspicious or designing persons
magnify the apparent wrOng.-EX.

ADecision After Solomon.

A curious incident took place the other day in
Brooklyn police court. A lame man had been
arrested on the complaint of his wife for cruelty
beating her. The judge was about 10 send the
man to the penitentiary, for when woman
swears against man the man gets but small
credit just then the little fOur-year-Old child,
that the mother was leading out of court and
which seemed to be hanging back, attracted the
Judges attention. He ordered the child to be
placed between the two parents, considerable
distance from EACH and then directed each pa
rent to call it, The mother called to it first, but
the child did not move. Then the father called
and it ran to his with every manifestation OF
affection This settled the ease. The judge told
the prisoner that the child had saved him from
the pententiary, as he was satisfied that he
must have kind heart or the child would not
be so fond of him. This was d practical way OF
settling matters. similar to that which history
and tradition ascribes to King SolOmOn.-Man

A case was On trial in Kentucky court ROOM
And old man of somewhat disreputabe appear
ance had just given important testimony, and
the lawyer whose case suffered from the state
ment, strOve in every way to confuse and trip
him, but in vain. The witness stuck to his story,
and did not lose his temper in spite of the irritat-
ing manner in which the cross examination was
conducted.
Finally, in the hope of breaking down the credi-
bility of the witness, the lawyer at a venture
asked:
Have you ever been in prisOn?'

case already won. That was heavy sentence

fact. Now sir, tell the jury where you was con
