He made his first wins at the Brooklyn spring meeting of 1889. In 1890 and 1891 he rode at Sara toga, being the first jockey for that meeting, and met with great success. In 1892 he rode for MT. Phil Dwyer and in 1893 was engaged by M. r. Dwyer and Richard Croker, being with them ever since. He is now in England with MT.

AN ExCELLENr MOVE.

That was a wise move upon the part
of the Committee on Water to ask a
commission consisting of Major e. r. d.
Myers, Mr.. Reuben Shirreffs. Mr.. Allen
Talbot and the City Engineer, Colonel
Cutshaw, TO investigate the matter of
our water supply and report recommen-
dations to the city. 1t is a commission
of exceptional strength ard information
Colonel Cutshaws capacity as an en-
gineer is well known to all the people of
Richmond from his long connection with
them In public capacity. and each Of
the other gentlemen stands in the front
rank Of the profession. If they consent
to serve, which we most elrnestly hope
they will. we ought now TO get an au-
thoritative statement of the conditions
enable the Council to treat the subject
intelligently and in a way to secure the
very best results with the means at its
command.
Our own opinion is very we'll defined
that the cure for our evils rests in the
adoption of meters and in compelling all
water takers to have metres. But we
shall suspend our opinion until these
gentlemen have made their report. IL
metres are the best for the city they
will no doubt make a report to that
effect. II metres are not best for the
city they will no doubt offer reasons for
their conclusion which will change our
mind.

THE TRIpLE-scREw TRIUMPH.

We take from the Washington Post
the following very interesting account OF
the way in which the cruiser Minneapolis
has demonstrated the advantage Of tho
triple screw in marine architecture:
"Some months ago Admiral Meade. be-
fore the Institute OF Naval Architects
annual meeting in New YORK. attacked
the triple-screw cruisers Columbia and
Minneapolis, commonly known as the
Pirates claiming that they were UNI

with the New York and other vessels for
utility. At that time tho two cruisers
had not seen actual service but rested
entirely on their laurels as the fastest
big ships afioat on the globe.
THE Columbia has made one cruise as
far as Bluehelds. but no figures showing
her adaptibiity to naval uses had been
secured. His remarks were combated by
many naval officers al the time: but until
recently, when the two vessels were as
signed TO the Admiral's command, Ad-
miral Meade continued his antagonism 10
them on theoretical grounds. The latest
news from the fleet. however shows that
the Admiral is disposed to amend his
opinion as the result of observing their
performance under practical conditions i'm

The Amendments to the Rules Were Adop-
ted Wifh Hut One Alt.ratiop


NEW YORK. April l2.-At the regular
monthly meeting II the Jockey Club.
held last night. all the recent amend
Hents TO the rules were adop..d without
change, except the resolution Of The stew
ards with regard to the registration OF
foals A clause was added 10 this. so that
the resolution as accepted now reads that
the secretary shall be authorized TO ac-
cept all registrations of names and Of
loLls provided that such registration be
made at the office OF the Jockey Club
within sixty days from April II. lsg5.
provided that such foals 50 registered
shall not be eligible TO start I'm any
stakes which have closed prior TO the
time OF such registration, and upon the
payment of fine of $40 for each regis
tration."
or the other amendments those with
regard TO the Jockey Clubs relations with
the American Turf Congress are the
most important. Under these amend
ments the definition of recognized meet
ing is so broadened as 10 practically in
clude any meeting which enforces the
forfeit list of the Jockey Club, and which
gives effect TO sentences imposed by that
body upon persons guilty of fraudulent
practices. The old clause of this rule
which provided that only meetings east
of the eighty-first meridian could be
licensed by the Jockey Club Is stricken
out. This will enable the Jockey Club
TO grant license TO the Detroit meet
ing and TO any other meetings I'm the
West that 1t may choose to recognize.

The Birmingham Age-HerIld objected
TO Chauncey NJ. Depew's statement that
lin the South the sentim INT IS nearly
unanimous FIR adopting the silver basis
and IL points to the fact that nearly all
the newspapers Of the South advocate
honest money" an fact" the Age
Herald adds. "all of the reading papers
are found IN line on this side. except the
Atlanta Constitution. If Mr.. Depew takes
the elections of asst year as a criterion he
viii find that the Governors and other
State officials are for sound money. So
are a majority Of the congressman"
We wish we could agree with the Age
Herald. but we are compelled to admit
that the Honorable Chauncey has more
correctly diagnosed the present sentiment
Of the people of the South than has the
Age Herald. 1t is of no consequence what
the Governors and "ther officers of the
State government think about finance,
because they have only one vote apiece
about it. But, when the Age-Herald
thinks a majority of the congressman
elected from the South are for sound
money. we fear IL misleads itself very
greatly. unless it thinks free coinage of
silver at the ratio of l6 TO / would be
sound money. We don't think we would
overstate the case if we said three
fourths of the members of Congress from
the southern States would now vote for
free coinage at that ratio. Our only hope
Is in the result of full and free dis
cussion of the subject of sound money by
ard before the people. In the beneficial
effect of this. we have great faith. You
can't fool all the people all the time.
