whiskey, was the Ultima Thule OF civiii-
zation In that part OF Australia. The
country to the west OF II was inhabited
only by few squatters at long intervals
apart. or By rowing bands Of Wild blacks.
and was the happy hunting-ground or
hidlng-piace Of a number OF men wanted
by the police for horse-steeling or some
thing worse. The latter were dangerous
and troublesome nelghbors TO have any

enough to throw them off serious

The Effect

Of this kidney-poisoned blood
is far-reaching. Health and
strength are impossible while it
exists. The system is being con-
tinually weakened, leaving it
open to the ravages OF colds,

The Cause

Ofcolds, chills, and attendant

A Card of Thanks.
We, the undersigned horse owners par
ticipating in the inaugural meeting of
the Birmingham Jockey club, feel in duty
bound at the close of this meeting to
render to the management our sincere
thanks for The able manner in which the
meeting was conducted, and feel graft
fled by the tremendous success achieved.
We, Furthermore, should like to have
the facts made public that the climate
and the pure spring water are unsur-
passed In their beneficial effects upon
men and horses. We, therefore, express
it as our honest conviction that Bir-
mingham is the most desirable place
known to us in which to winter horses.

WLank,s Tips.n

The largest crowd of the whole meet
filed the grand stand yesterday>to wit
ness the closing races. Not only Bir-
mingham, but Bessemer and other sur
rounding towns contributed their quota,
taxing the accommodations for the
guests to the utmost. On all sides We're
heard expressions of keen pleasure and
appreciation and of regret for the end
ing of the season, for to many these two
weeks had not few pleasant hours.
.
After all, II is not such strange thing
that men and women become enthusiasts
tic al race-not because of any question
of gain or loss, but simply because of an
interest in the beautiful animals before
them 1t is hard to understand tenn
permanent that contains no admiration for
good horse or dog. There are many
people in the world who make the mis-
take of thinking that one cannot express
that admiration without 1t becoming OBJ
jectionable. Observation-Disclosures some
times dictates this belief, and yet it Is
often an honest conviction. and as such
should be respected. A principle is not
necessarily wrong because 1T happens to
be different from the one we individually
hold. and so upon this subject there is
room for many opinions. The only real
ly difficult thing is to be tolerant of 9TH

Mr. H. H. Dargin is also native Ala
bamian. He was born in 1868 at Hunts
vile and is % years old. He with his
family moved to Birmingham in 1872. He
had a varied experience up to his 22d
year, and then, while in st. Louis,entered
into partnership with Mr.. Charles Walter
in the bookmaking business. Their bank
roll amounted to even 500. At the end of
the season they had a bank account of
$1,000. Year after year they prospered,
enjoying the confidence of every turf
man with whom they came in contact.
The past season Messrs. Hayden & Wal
ter cleared $4,000.
Early last year, after long absence
from Birmingham, which city he has
ever claimed as his home, he returned,
and after a careful consideration of the
local field, purchased the property Of the
Alabama Fair and Agricultural associa-
ton, known as the Fair grounds, on the
Bessemer and Birmingham dummy line.
He In purchasing this property had two
objects in view VIZ: The making of Biz
mingham a great racing center and aid
ing in the upbuilding- of the city he called
home. He at once went to work, and
with the aid of his partner and the other
members of the Birmingham Jockey club
has made a success such as has never
before. been known in the history of
turfdom and close on the heels of an at
tempt of similar nature which proved
as great a failure as has the present eff
fort been success.
Large forces were put to work improv-
ing the grounds at the track, and when
the gates were thrown open for the In
augural day on the 18th Mr.. Dargin had
expended dncluding purchase of
grounds) $4,000. To this can be added
s12. 600 in stakes and salaries for officials
and incidental expenses of $4100, making
a total outlay of s3s,700. But this is not
all. During the coming summer the
grand stand will be entirely rebuilt, more
stables will be put in and buildings for
expositions and state fairs will be erect
ed. on which it is estimated $4,000 will
be expended.
Mr.. Dargin will be here all of his spare

Mr.. Christopher Columbus Chinn, ia
miliarly known as Kit" is young man,
being only 81 years of age. He is ma
tive Kentuckian, being born at Harrods-
burs in 1869. His family is an old one
in that state, and his father of whom
mention will be made elsewhere, is one
of Kentuckys leading politicians today.
After finishing a full collegiate course
and graduating as civil engineer at the
Polytechnic institute, Troy, N. Y, Mr..
Chinn returned home and took charge of
his fathers stable. For two years he
handled the flyers successfully. In Au-
gust, 1892, he entered on his career as
starer. His first work was at East st.
Louis, where he started horses for three
months. From there he went to Chicago
and worked for Corrigan at the Haw-
thorne track. Here he remained until
last fall, nearly three years. He then
signed contract with the st. Louis
Fair association. He filled this contract
eminently satisfactory to his employers,
and then came to Birmingham, where as
a starter he has proven himself equal to
any in the country. Mr.. Chinn is cour-
teous to all and has made friends on all
sides during his brief stay among us.
He leaves today for Harrodsburg, his
home, for a few days recreation, and
will then go to Nashville, thence to st.
Louis and back here for the winter meet
ing.
Official Timer @. @. O'Fallon.
Mr.. C.. c. O'Fallon, the official timer
at the meeting just ended, is native of
st. Louis, Mo-, and celebrated his 39th
birthday in this city Friday. Mr.. ORAL
Ion has only been on the turf three
years. The first horse of any prominence
he bought was the celebrated chestnut
colt, Assignee. This proved his best
venture. He had at the present meet
ing nine excellent thoroughbreds, all of
whom have been very successful.
