ceeded in making any mark, though she
worked at the business as hard as any OF
her successors of the present day. Her
novels were many and fashionable Mrs.
Gore-like in their methods, and filled with
strange and wandering scraps of French.
She edited books of beauty for fancy clients
and at fancy prices; and when the Daily
News was first started, under the editor
ship of Charles Dickens, she was offered an
engagement as purveyor OF fashionable
intelligence, and asked $500 year for
it. She was offered either f400 as cer-
tainty or $3.50 for six months on approval,
and confidently chose the latter, with the
melancholy result at the end of the term,
Dickens having in the meantime retired
from his uncongenial work, and John For
ster having accepted his post ad interim,
she was informed that her services were
no longer wanted.
She fought for her hand hard enough in
later days, poor lady, after years of Ara
bian Night luxury with her magnificent
husband; but we fear ttat her position in
the literary world was not at any time one
of solid security. Privately, she lived under
cloud from the scandal which always
connected her name with Count d. Orsay,
and we suppose not without reason.
AT all events they never appear to have
taken any steps to defend themselves
against the charges of papers like The Age,
which anticipated a similar class of jour
nails that sprang up in our own day, and
rather suffered judgment by default.-The

PERCENTAGES OF JOCKEYS.
Statistics Place Tod Sloan at the
Head of the List.

Among racegoers there are a number who
make practice OF regularly backing the
mounts OF certain jockeys. Not only to
these, but to all turf followers does a
statement OF the standing Of the jockeys
during the season appeal. A careful COM
piiatiop proves that Tod" Sloan heads the
list of Eastern winning jockeys with 4
percentage of .309 winning mounts.
Sloan first made his appearance in the
East four years ago, and since that time his
improvement as a jockey has been remark
ably rapid. He showed first high form
at San Francisco last winter. and when he
came East this spring soon established
himself as the premier hgntw eight of the
day.
Sloan was under contract to the Santa
A nita stable until few weeks ago, when
he cast his lot with Mr.. George E. Smith.
"Pittsburg Phil" for whom he was riding
up to the end Of the Eastern racing season.
and to whom he is under contract for the
season Of S97.
Sloan, Doggett, Taral, and Sims formed
a quartet of popular jockeys during the
past season. Doggett is second on the
list, though he is closely pressed by Taral.
Since Doggett's first appearance in the
saddle his average work has been good,
but at times lie has become careless, and
on occasions has been severely and Justly
criticised. His principal mounts during the
season were outside ones. Taral has not
lost any of his popularity, but did not have
as many mounts as usual. Whenever he
rode it was with his old dash and vim.
Few jockeys have a better record than
the honest little Dutchman." Sims is u
good fourth. while Henry Griffin, who
headed the list OF jockeys in 1895, has de-
teriorated in his riding, and fifth place
is his position this year. The following is
the record of the ten leading Eastern
jockeys during the season of 1896.

MY retirement is entirely voluntary on

There axe no referees in and about this

POLICE CIPH Err CODE.

The new Barnard secret code of tele-
graphic ciphers, in book form, adopted by
the chiefs of police at their recent cunVen-
ton, has heen received at police headquar-
ters in this city.
Hereafter in sending dispatches for in
formation or requesting the arrest OF a
culprit, cipher words will be employed, and
no one can decipher the message without
the key in t he book, u copy of which has
been furnished the superintendents of po-
lice in the large cities.
The old style of sending kilograms which
can be read at will by any person will be
done away with. and messages by the Bar
nard system will be as unintelligible as
Greek or Choctaw.
For instance, dispatch reading: Am

with the code: Arrest and hold John Doe,

The ciphers are much like those used by
the weather service insendingin meteorolog-
ical reports from stations. and are de-
signed to secretly describe all manner Of
crimes and criminals, including a minute
description of the latter. The code will be
placed in use at once.
