has used his initiative faculties for the

Cowed by Honest Ranchmen.
Now and then "bad man" tries to cul-
tlvate something which he mistakes for
humor. One OF these devotees of levity
used to haunt the cattle range of western
Kansas, and every fall and spring he APP
peared in Dodge City at the general round
up" Every time he came to town he left
some proof of facetious mind, saws a
writer In the New York Herald, and was
very sure of being talked about by every
idle man and most of the busy ones who
remained when the rush was over.
His name was Eek Turner, though
Dodge City will best remember him by the
title "DoubleL Eek, " the duplicated cap
ital being Leonard q Loughrain's brand,
and he being one of their best riders.
One of Eek Turner's pct bits of humor
was to pick out people whose appearance
displeased him and shoot just near enough
to them to express his sentiments. He
particularly disliked to see horsemen go
by on the trot. 1t was in n cowboy coun.
try, and cowboys galloped, whether or not
they were in a hurry.
And If the rider had habit of "rising"
in the stirrups, as conventional trotters
often do Eel Turner hated him violently.
So that when he came down Main street
one day and saw q rather well dressed man
go by trotting and rising" with the mo-
tion of his horse Eek called general atten-
ton to the spectacle
Really the trotter was not q very good
horseman. 1t was possible, as Eek OBJ
served, to "see daylight under him" ov-
cry time he rose in the saddle. And the
glimpses of that recurring daylight" pro
yoked Eek to bit of pistol practice.

iority of them try the staying powers
of the competing thoroughbreds. The
accompanying chart shows the plan OF
the Newmarket track and also the main
courses. Eaoh of these courses is sub
divided into a number OF smaller
courses.
TINE NO CRITERION.
It is a difficult matter to get line Oh
a horse on theiEnglish course by using
time as a criterion. For instance, one
Of the stake races at Newmarket is
called the Ancaster Mile. In reality it
is twenty-five yards more than the mile,
and the Rowley Mile, another stake
event, is eleven yards over the mile.
The Abingdon Mile and Bunbury Mile,
two stake events, are each even miles.
There are eight meetings held at
Newmarket each year, some of them
only a few days in duration. Another
thing which American horsemen will
be astonished at in the English races is
the hard handling given the two-year-
olds. In this country it is a rare thing
to send the youngsters more than six
furlongs until well along in the fall,
when they are almost as good as three
year-olds. Then they may be asked to
go mile.
One of the big stake events to be run
at Newmarket in the fall is the Feather
Plate, over a course of two and a quar-
ter miles. One would think that only
the toughest kind of a seasoned cam
paigner would be sent this distance,
but all the crack English two-year-olds
are entered for the stake, and its his
tory shows that youngster has won
oftener than an older horse. Last year
the winner was a two-year-old, and the
next four horses to cross the wire were
all -year-olds. In the matter of dis

Heavy Charges for Owners--Rich-
ard Croker Has Found that Rae

Side-Where the Derby Was Run.

The success Of the venture or itch
ard Croker and Mike Dwyer in sending
their race horses to England TO try Tor
the rich prizes hung up by the English
Jockey Club will probably lead many
other American borsemen 10 send their
stables abroad next spring. Racing IN
this country. particularly in the East,
has lost its attractive features since the
passage OF the rigorous anti-gamDllng
laws in New Jersey and New York,
which practically close the finest tracks
Yin the world.
Few of the American horsemen know
ANYTHING Of the big English courses.
They differ in many ways from the
American tracks, and it would be wise
for any ambitious owner who thinks OF
trying his horses against their British
rivals to study up the question care
fully and line his pockets abundantly
with gold to meet the numerous charges
flung at him.
Richard Croker is not poor man by
any means, but in letter to New
York friend he said the strain on his
pocketbook Of maintaining stable IN
England is something terrific. He gave
some very interesting items Of the eX-
penses at the Newmarket track, where
his horses won their first races.
The Newmarket track is about forty
six miles from London and three miles
on the Cambridge road from the town
whose name it bears. There are train
ing grounds apart from the track prop
er. which isonly used for the actual rae
ing. These training grounds are very
fine. being fitted with walking ring
and a tanbark galloping track, besides
a speeding course. Every horse using
the grounds must pay an annual tax Of
seven guineas, and every yearling three
guineas. Unlike the American tracks,
stabling and quarters for the trainers,
jockeys, stable boys, etc, must be paid
for and at high price.
MANY PETTY CHARGES.
Mr.. Croker has to pay five shillings
for each registration Of horse and
sovereign 10 permit Jockey Simms to
ride, and ten shillings for each Of the
stable boys. His colOrs had to be reg
istered at a cost Of FIVE shillings, and
every time an entry is made the clerk
must be paid two shillings and six
pence When the jockey weighs in for
"a race he must pay the same fee. There
are a score more Of like charges, and

WHERE tHE DERBY Is RUN.
On May % sst the English Derby
was run on ADsom Downs, the most
historic race AMI the most historic race

the 10th race for the stake, the first
one being run in l7S0. In those days II
attracted no attention whatever. In
fact. when the first Derby was run, as
an extra inducement TO the public to
come and witness It,, the programme
included a cock-fght'between the gen
tlemen of MiddleseX and Surrey and
the gentlemen of Wiltshire. Neither
was there any red-tape about the condi-
lions of the race in those days. The
conditions of the first Derby were SIM
ply as follows:

half forfeit; for three-year-olds; colts 8

1t is interestingly note that the hand

the colt three pounds above the FLY,
Just as Edward XII, Earl of Darby,
founder of the race, and his contem1or-
aries did more than a hundred years
ago.
THE FIRST DERBY WINNER.
Diomed, owned by Sir Charles Bun
bury, a chestnut horse, by FlOrizel, out
Of Sister to Juno, was the first winner
Of the Derby, and Lord Roseberry'
Ladas captured the great prize last
year. It is a matter of regret that none
of the American horses now in England
are eligible for the great race, as the
entries closed long before Mr.. Croker

At the outset it was said that Prince

and Harvard. This is so only on late
form. Early in the season It looked
as though Princeton would send out the
weakest team it has had in years. There
has been much indifference both in the
college and on the team, but all this
has now been done away with, and the
numerous changes in the personnel Of
the nine seem to have developed a very
fine team.
