THE TURF.
Something Concerning Jockeys and
Their Peculiar Tastes.


1.-The popular and successful Jockey has very
res ed himself against wall at the entrance of
a big hotel the other evening, writes a Ken
lucky turf correspondent.
Take Isaac Murphy, for instance. He's a
champagne iend. 1 have known him to drink
four quarts at a single sitting. His love for the
sparkling beverage caused the only scand he
was ever accused OF being connected with. 1t
was when Tea Tray beat FiTenZi and Murphy
fell out of the saddle after the winning post was
passed. His enemies said H. was drunk; his
friends claimed he was drugged, but If the lat.
Ter claim was true he got the dose In glass Of
champagne.
Freeman has a weak stomach, and there
fore is forced by nature TO be particular in what
he eats and drinks. l have seen him after a
hard race VOmIt for half an hour. Many people
TO 90 through such a nausea would be forced
10 take TO bed, but IL acts contrary with the
llttie Irish Jockey. who RECEIVERS quickly from
lis effects. Freeman is wonderful mimic.
Give him stick and Pat Grogan, the trainer
OF L hel Gray, stands before you, and an in
slant later hump appears on his back and
you see old man McClelland. The father of the
rae OF trainers. He is the Richard Mansfield
of the jockeys of the Western turf. Harry Ray
Is one of The dudes among his fellows, prize
taker at walks. while Soup Perkins is in his
element with a ham sandwich in one hand and
a hunk of popcorn 10 the other.
Monk OvertOn is Il typical Southern negro
NAT nose, thick lids and the color OF ebony.
Jordan is the tramp of the saddle. No street
gamin ever neglected his toilet more or cared
less for the Broadway styles of the day. A
flannel shIfl. n torn pair of pants, briinIesS
ha', ragged coat, are good enough for Frankie
Jordan, but II anybody tells you he can't ride
don't you believe 1t. Tiny Williams is an
every day sort OF chap, as is A Clayton, but
VIII behaved among their superiOrs and nave
enough regard for their character TO hold them
selves above their Interiors. j. Hill is another
well behaved boy, as is Andy Parkinson, who
has been IN enough accidents TO leave piece of
himself in every hospital in the big cities where
he rides"
Being so familiar with Western Jockeys you
nave had chance TO form an estimate of
Americas greatest living rider, and whom DO
you regard as our best rlder?" asked a by
standrr.
Wei, ] presume Taral and Garrison are at
Inc mead OF the procession. a least individuals
have 10 lGOk with the masses, and that's the
way the public goes, but with a good stiff bet
down on his mount, johnny McCafferty is good
enough for me-"

PERFUMES AND THE VOICE
How the Scent or beautiful Flowers
Affects SINGERS

long discussion has been going on 10 Paris
Journal with regard TO the effect that flowers
have upon singers throat. The consensus of
opinion amoug the opera singers seems to be
that certain flowers, notably Iuberoses and
mimosa, are particularly dangerous. Christine
NILSSON. in her letter on this subject mentions
the case of celebrated woman singer with
whom she was appearing I'm concert some wears
ago. As they stood in the wings waiting for
the hrst NUMBER on the programme to be an
nounced. a friend sent a huge wreath to this
singer, which was made of tuberOses. The
singer buried her nose In the flowers for a
moment ana three minutes later when she went
upon the stage TO sing she found that she could
not raise a note. The vocal chords had been
temporarily paralyZed. A doctor was called
the Mowers were thrown out OF window and
the singer, after her throat had been treated
was able TO sing later in the evening. CaIve in
this article also uphOlds NiIStOu's opinion
THE only flowers that | ever admit into NV
living apartments" writes Calve, "are roses
and yiOletS. The tuberose is my particular
adherence, not alone because 10 suggests
death, but or account OF its effect upon the
voice. Upon entering room where lilies are
always have an irresistible desire to throw The
windows open. They always irritate my throat
In my mind there Is no doubt about all flowers
being Injurious TO the throat except roses
I, rsOnally l can also except the violet but
other singers have told me that 1t had an in-
furious effect upon their vocal chords"-Bos-
ton Courier.

What the English People Think of
RYAN and Wright.

The Canadian champion oarsmen, J. j. RYAN
and Joe Wright, of Toronto, who went to Eng
land for the purpose of taking part in the dia-
mond SOULS aud silver gOblets at the Henley
regatta In July next, have made good impress
sion in England. In commenting upon them
the London Sportsman says:
AFTER a weeks sightseeing In the METROPOLIS.
the Canadian champion oarsmen, Mr.. j. j.
Ryan aud Mr.. Joseph Wright of Toronto, yes
terday took up their abode at Surbiton. and
they Will at once commence strict training
operations on the Thames. The Kingston
Rowing Club has cOurteously made them
honorary members of the club during their
stay in England. and they have taken up
their quarters at the Southampton Hotel,
adjoining Surbiton station. The pair are
weIlkBown members of the Toronto Rowing
Club. ana are attached to the civil service at
home. MIR. Ryan Is 81 years OF age stands
feet / o inches In height and weighs 10 condition
just about IL stone. He is a wiry and compact
athlete, and conveys the impression of beng
slayer OF the first water. The Canadian
champion enjoys brilliant reputation as
sculler, and holds an un0eaten record since
1885 or Whereabouts. HIS cOnfrere, Joseph
Wright, who Will be his partner in the pairs, Is
% years OF age. stands feet 2 inches in
II light and weighs considerably over Is stone
In condition. He measures 40 inches around
the chest. and Is uBdoubl eddy a very powerful
man. Mir. Wright has made very good record
as an amateur oarsman at home, aud be is cOu-
sidered one of Canada's best all. round athletes.
On our arrival at Kingston yesterday We
found the Canadians busliy engaged in
fitting Up Ryan's boat ready for practice. She
appears TO be a remarka ably nice craft, built by
Warren OF Toronto. the extraordinary thing be-
ing that her builder has only one arm but not
withstanding he practically does the whole OF
the work himself. She only weighs twenty
seven pounds, and MI. Ryan says she carries
him splendl1ly. MIR. Wright has not brought
boat over. but j. II. Clasper Of Putney has one
well OH the way for him, and he anticipates
getting sf1oat next week. Both use DOnoughe's
souls with extra broad blades, and their craft
Will be fitted with Davis patent swivel rOwlOckS.
The fitting up OF the boat taking some little
time. Mir. Ryan eventually decided not TO en-
bark, but he will be afloat to-day. pToba bly,
Will endeavOr 10 borrow some sort of boat for

COURSlNG.
Notes Concerning the Next Meeting
at MERGED.

So far as coursing is concerned the only mat
ter of interest that is now occupying The atten-
ton of leashmen Is the great meeting which
will be held at MERGED next fall. Judging from
the many letters that have been received from
the interior Of The State asking for particulars
of this meeting It is safe TO predict that the
largest entry OF dogs that has ever appeared on
a cOursing programme will be seen on this ocea-
sion.
The sportsmen of Sacramento are determined
TO have the best racing material which can be
obtained Il ON the Kennels of this State repre-
sented on the famous plains, and It goes with
out saying that when the Sacramento dogs put
in an appearance the local cUursng fraternity
Will have good cause To look out for surprises
AT this season OF the year coursing should
not be- INDUCED in. as the hares are breeding
and only men of decidedly INSCRIPTIONS minds
would think OF running dogs on ground that j.
as hard as flint. There are seasons for all
sports and, although there Is TO law against the
killing of hares at any time, coursiug should
have at least some consideration for lie game
little animals and refrain from numbering them
during the summer months.

Northern OF France and employ an
experienced American engineer to plan aud
