Griffin rode two winners and was third
on Arundel.
Ed Corrigan named the Detachment colt
Kowaisky before the two-year-old race.
George Rose evidently did not have
much faith in the prowess of Don Garlic,
for he laid against him and stood to lose
heavily If he won. If Flynn was instructed
not to make too much use of the colt he
followed instructions.

Plnkerton is a full brother to Rico.
The Sister to Ruth Ryan gelding is the

and had Tuberville given him his head
down the second hill instead of keeping
him back, he would undoubtedly have got
the coin.
Flashlight will beat far better racers
than Miss Ruth before the meeting is
over, barring accident.
j. E. King, the owner of White Cloud,
has been in hard luck at the present meet
ing. Twice in hurdle races it looked a
good thing for his horse Mendocino, but
on both occasions accident ruined the
horses chances, and yesterday his horse
White Cloud fell dead. From the way the
race was won, White Clouds chance was
certainly good one.

The French army has some notable con-
scripts this year, among them SardQu's son
and MaxLebaudy, the F'ittle sugar man"
of the boulevard, a spendthrift young
millionaire whose eccentricities of prodi-
gality have amazed even the Parisians.' On
account of his diminutive stature he was
deemed unfit for service in the ranks and
was detailed to drive mule-wagon in the
ammunition corps of the Fifth Squadron,
an occupation distasteful to most con-
scripts. But while engaged in this humble
work he will occupy fine house at
Fontainebleau, with large stables attached
for his horses, and roomy quarters for his
servants. Another conscript in whom all
France is interested is General Geleoc, a
French Tom Thumb. His height is only
feet 915 inches.

Members of the Alameda Woman's Elk
change and Relief Society lament the act
of the County Board of Supervisors in cut
ting off aid from the Alameda families
who are in need. Small allowances have
been made each month for groceries. This
has been stopped, and as result the So
ciety has been called upon to keep starva-
ton from many unfortunate homes.
While the number of indigents is small
compared to the population the officers of
the society think that inasmuch as Ala
media pays a large sum into the county
treasury the Supervisors should not hest
tate to extend aid for charity. The ladies
will endeavor to have the Supervisors
rescind their ruling.

A STORY OF Mr.. HEWITT.
His Memory Deficient When 1t
Came to Returning Umbrellas.

Il
Came to Returning Umbrellas.
New York Recorder.
l wrote a few paragraphs about Mr..
Hewitt the other day, and intended to
drop him for awhile, but there is just
one more little story, characteristic of
the man, and that must be told be-
fore he is turned loose in the field to
Craze. He was, as we all know, a
great friend of Samuel J. Tilden-that
is, before the defeat of Tiiden. 1t was
different afterward, as Tilden thought
he was mainly responsible for certain
unpleasant things in connection with
the loss of the presidency.
One day Hewitt brought into his
office an old cotton umbrella, with a
broken rib or two and a few holes.
could not have cost over so cents. He
placed it in the accustomed corner,
beside a fine $40 silk umbrella belong
ing to ]. L. Haigh, his partner. When
starting home in the afternoon he
walked off with HaIgh's umbrella,
leaving his own, which Haigh had to
use, as it was raining hard. On OPEN
ing the cotton affair Haigh noticed a
piece of white tape sewn on the inside
near the top, and on going to a light
read: Samuel J. Tilden, Gramercy
Park, New York" The next day he
returned it to the same corner and said
to Mr.. Hewitt: '"This is Mr.. Tilden's
umbrella you forgot last night "Oh,
yes" said Hewitt, rising and going
after it. 81 am very glad to get it
back. Mr.. Tilden is extremely careful
about his umbrella" "But where is
my silk one that you took away last
night?' Haigh asked. "Oh, 1 don't
know anything abour that" was the
reply, and that was all the satisfaction
that Haigh ever got.
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-08-30

was formed pursuant to the provisions
or Chap. $40, quoted above. He al
legged in his complaint that prior to
1 May 10, 1895, the defendant corpora ton
Was incorporated to run races under
Sec. Of the act referred to. May Is,
1875, Dudley entered his horse, Brown
Dick, in sweepstake race with three
other horses. The race was run May
10, and, Brown Dick having won, Dud-
ley demanded the entire purse of $175.
Inc defendant declined to pay the $175,
out offered to give Dudley his $25 entry
Zee. He then instituted suit to re-
cover the $175. The Flushing Jockey
club filed demurrer to the sufficiency
OF the plaintiffs complaint In this
demurrer it was said:
The defendant by its demurrer ad-
m1ts all of the facts and presents but
one question, which is whether the
said act is constitutional. IF it is un-
constitutional the demurrer must be
sustained and the complaint dismissed.
Judge. Bischoff decides with the de-
fendant that the law was unconstitu-
tional
Lawyer Hun1mel when seen in regard
to the decision said: Judge Bis
choT's decision if enforced will put an
END to racing in New York state. The
decision Is, however, SO important it
is likely to be appealed to the higher
courts. The decision confirms our
claims. in every detail. 1t is obvi-
GUS the practice of running horses for
purses is gambling. 1t does not differ
essentially from the ordinary lotteries.
Now that this point has been decided,
races cannot be run for money, no
matter whether bets are made on the
horses or not 1 never could see why
race tracks should have special privi-
leges in such Matters
The law known as the Gray racing
law or the Percy-Gray racing law,
which Judge Bischoff declares uneon-
stitutional, Is the law under which all
racing is conducted in this state. 1t
was expressly framed in order that
racing might be held, Notwithstanding
the new CONSTITUTIONS prohibition of
all gambling. and was passed last win
ter by the legislature. 1t was gener-
ally favored by all those who had the
best interests of racing at heart. Rae
ing under it, it was generally conceded,
would be conducted upon a higher
plane than heretofore. and the results
this summer SO far have justified this
expectation. All public betting at
races is prohibited by the law. Bets
are made only privately and by mem
orandum, the result being, of course,
the abolishment of the betting ring
and the small bettor.
