Fighting Fish in Siam.
From the London Field.

The two fish are placed in the same bot
tie. They proceeded to take each others
measure, shoulder up to each other in
sChoolboy fashion, and back and push
around the ring, the small fms vibrating
rapidly all the time. and each little being
quiverlng with excitement and wrath.
This goes on for some minutes, until, as
the spectators are growing impatient, one
fish suddenly flips his head around, makes
a dart, and a considerable dent in his ad,
versary's tail shows at once that he has
got home. Henceforth there is no hesita-
ton until one or the other cries peccavi.
In regular fish fihts on which money de-
ponds the battle is continued until one fish
turns tail and is chased around the bottle
by the other. But this is usually an af-
fair of an hour, and frequently of three or
four.
The pluck and determination of the
fighters are wonderful. The ordinary
stream fish do not evince II nearly so
much as those that have been bred and
reared for the purpose. The tail is the
part which shows most damage, for 1t is
very easily torn, but good grip on a side
fin is more effective. When one pins the
other by the nose a very exciting struggle
takes place, the two lying fastened to-
gether like professional wrestlers, and
then stalking each other backward and
forward with might and main. They

fight on bravely, and sometimes 1t is
a matter of difficulty to part them. They
display considerable agility in evading
their opponents mouth, and also in sud
denly twisting around and taking a
piece out of his tail. In twenty minutes
or so these appendages, which looked so
brave and bright as they went into the
fray, are torn to ribbons.
The fsh's general appearance after the
fight suggests that Of a sailing ship emerg-
ing from a hot action, with her canvas
hanging in streamers, her topmasts shot
away and her crew gasping for breath,
but still ready to fight agin. Pla kat
sometimes succumb to a long contest,
but generally they only take superficial
damage and are Immediately ready to
feed. After match they are always
rested a week or more, according to the
extent of their injuries, and most of the
rents and cuts are repaired by nature.
Enthusiastic owners often wager &c or Il
or more on their favorites, and many
people earn a little money in this way by
breeding fighting fish and then backing
them against others.

GIVES UP RACING.
The Washington Park Club of Chicago
Driven Out by the Gambling Craze.


Chicago, Oct. 14-At a meeting of its
directors last night the Washington Park
Club decided to abandon its racing fea-
ture, and in conformity with this resolu-
ton the clubs resignation from the Turf
Congress was prepared and forwarded to
the secretary. The reasons for abandoning
this feature are based, ii is said, upon the
popular clamOr against pool selling and
the degeneration Of racing from a harm
less and high class sport to a species of
gambling The club was organized in
1883 and is possessed of grounds covering
an area of eighty acres, which have in
creased in value from 1000, the pur-
chase price, to $1,000 or $1,000 co., their
estimated present worth
Gen. Phil Sheridan was the first pres
ident Of the club, and served in that
capacity until his death, when the va
cancy was filled by the election of the
present president, George Henry Wheeler.
Organized as a gentlemens jockey club,
and for the avowed purpose Of encOurag-
ing the Improvement; breeding, training,
and exhibition of horses, the Washington
Park Club has consistently maintained
it's high standard and gained more than
national celebrity. 1t has never per
mitted a foreign book to operate at it's
meetings and has always endeaVOred to
conduct its affairs, so far as they re-
lated to racing, within the proper lines.
The feeling has spread rapidly among
the directors, however, that the club
could not retain its ideal character and
uphold its own standard. In all parts
of the country were racing clubs, con-
Quoted as gambling ventures, with which
the Washington Park was obliged to af-
tiliate under the rules. Horses were be
ing raced, winter as we'll as summer,
at various points, and the circuit was
being enlarged by the admission of clubs
of doubtful standing. Under such cOndi-
uons the directors agreed that the Wash
ington Park Club owed a duty to the
members and to the public that could be
best performed by disseminating racing.
President Wheeler, when asked after
the meeting last night for an eXplana-
ton of the reason for the unexpected ac-
ton of the club, said; There seems to be
a difference Of opinion as to whether it is
lawful or unlawful to run a race track in
this state The directors of the Wash
ingtOn Park Club do not wish to do any
thing contrary to law and so decided to
discontinue giving race meetings.
do you intend to sell the property?''
Nothing has oeen said about il. We in
tend to maintain the social feature of it
as heretofore-a country club with polo
and that sort of thing"
Tt is the general understanding hat Har-
lem will step into the place left vacant by
the retirement of Washington Park so
far as racing is concerned. Hundreds of
entries had already been made with the
club for stakes for 1895 and 1896, among
them the s25, 600 American derby for the
1895 meeting, upon whose candidates the
boo5makers are already betting, the Sher-
idan stakes and the Englewood, formerly
the Queen Isabella.
Although abandoned by the Washington
Park Club, these three events are not
likely to be nullifed.
