SNOWFALL FIGHTS.
Scrimmages Caused by Yesterday
Afternoons Fusillade.

scrimmages Caused by Yesterday
Afternoons Fusillade.
w. Fl. Bradley, ex-Police Captain,
does not take kindly to snowballlng'
especially when he is made a target for
the balls.
A lively hailstorm about 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon afforded an op-
portunity for boys-and some men who
would be boys again-to indulge IN
snowballing, as the fine hailstones
were piled up along the sidewalks in
fair-sized drifts. The opportunity was
not neglected either, for nearly every
man and boy on the streets indulged IN
the sport and pelted one another.
Among those who received 'soakers'
was Bradley, while in the vicinity OF
Seventh and K streets. He got one
unusually hot" one, and it made him
mad He thought he knew who to
thank for it, so he crossed the street
and planted his fist in the face Of
Charles Stanfield, a hackman. Stan
field resented the familiarity and mixed
things with the ex-Captain in very
lively fashion. The scrap attracted
big crowd, also officer Talbot, who ar
rested both men for disturbing the
peace.
Stanfield denies that it was he who
landed the ''soaker'' that reused Brad
ley's ire, and several others who were
present also say that he did not snow
ball Bradley. 1t looks as if the latter
made a mistake in his man.
Another fight occurred down at the
freight shed on Front street about the
same time James Mullin, who was
once known to fame as one of the Medi-
alton Committee of the Railway Union
at the time of the big railroad strike,
was passing along the street when
someone from a second-story window
threw a SNOWFALL and hit him.
Mullin ran up stairs and tackled a
clerk named Ranlett. whom he accused
of having hit him with the SNOWFALL,
but met with a very warm reception.
1t is said that some of Ranlett's office
companions went to his aid, and that
the ex- Mediation Committeeman re-
ceived a pretty rough handling. There
were no arrests in this case.
Several other fights occurred on ac-
count of the flying snowballs, but they
had no serious results.

parajtively easy to train: not so with
Hastings; he is inclined to be sluggish
and disinclined to extend himself in his
work, so that 1t needs race or two to
key him up" for any great event.
Another item to be considered is, that
many horses are very susceptible To
weight; difference of five pounds will
defeat nine horses out of ten. The train
er discovers this by testing the colt with
different weights up in his work If he
puts up on exercise a, boy weighing us
pounds, and the colt works a mile in
40. and, If he works just as fast with
40 pounds, up the trainer knows that
this colt can carry weight and hold his
speed; but If that other pounds brings
the time up to 1850, then the colt has his
decided limit as to weight carrying ca

probably take l:43 or better to beat him.

the trainer has TO contend with is the
