as each day goes by there seems to be no occasion to modify the praise. A more beautiful animal never set foot on old Jefferson's red clay; a more gallant racer will never grace the Birmingham course. Like all really fine creatures, he has his bit of stubbornness, and makes a bad start in every race. It is as though he disdained to stand on an equality with his competitors-as though he knows his power to give them every advantage and then win from them with the least effort in the world. It Is an inspiration to watch him; pure joy to see his rider lift him to victory. Enthusiastic? Yes; but have you seen Tartarian? If you have you will surely understand.
 
 Springboard proved serious disap- pointment to many yesterday in the mile race. It was thought that he had the speed, as well as the endurance. One woman suggested that they change his name to Next Time" Evidently he had disappointed her
 An old black "auntie," who has been e keen observer of things, has noted the fact that nine times out of ten the colors' of the purse hung on the wire are the colors of the winning horse. On two days this was really the case, curious though it may be. Not a great number of people would take this into considera7 tion when betting their money, but "auntie" says Init sho is de way ever time." This is for the consideration of such unfortunates as need to recoup.
 
 The club house is a favorite resort with the ladies, and during the intermission between the races numbers of fair visit ors make use of its easy chairs it's quiet reception hall and it's wide fireplace, with @ cheery blaze ever ready and inviting. It was very thoughtful of the manage ment to provide so well for the guests, and yet not satisfied with what seems al- ready the best, there is talk of improve ment Let it be what it may, it is sure to be something which makes things bet ter and better until Birmingham will be known in the south as having attractions second to none, surpassing many. Today and tomorrow being the close of the meet, it is doubtless true that the greatest crowds yet seen will be on the sounds. Something good is promised and fortunate is he who backs the win ner.

A Card.

Birmingham, March 26. 1896. To the State Herald:
 Referring to the article in your issue of the 26th instant headed Curious Com munieation," although my name appears among the signers of the petition receiv- ed by Mayor VanHoose, said petition was not signed by me, nor did authorize any one to sign it for me, and I was therefore much astonished to find myself quoted as one of the subscribers.
 On account of the prominence which this matter has recently assumed I deem it proper to state my position clearly. Yours respectfully,

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
MT. Charles A. Ellis, Transient Resident of
 Birmingham, Seriously Injured.

A letter was received from New Or leans yesterday saying that MT. Charles A. Ellis had been run over by a carriagd in that city on Monday and had suffered a fracture of the skull. He was carried to the Charity hospital, where he now lies in critical condition, the doctors declaring his recovery as doubtful.
 MT. Ellis came to this city several weeks ago from Sioux City, Ia., to assist in getting out the trade edition of the State Herald. While here he made great many friends, who will be pained to hear of his misfortune.
 It is learned that he has no relatives, but his friends in Sioux City have been informed of his condition, which is ex- tremely critical.

RIVAL FOR THE TRANSVAAL.

MashonalAnd Said to he Fully As Rich
In q Id.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Z6.-The Trans
vaal may find a form dable rival in the
near future as a gold producing state
in Newfoundland. which United States
Consul Hollis treats of in a report to
the state department from Mozambique.
He says hat seven or eight years ago
the mining industry in the Transvaal
was in about the same condition as to
the development as that in Ma
shonaland today; now they are turn
ing out $42, 900, 900 gold per annum.
Mines in Newfoundland, however, are
being much more rapidly developed
than those of the Transvaal were in the
early days. Moreover, reliable mining
experts have stated time and again that
the gold reefs in Mashonaland and
Matabeleland are, on the whole, richer
and more extensive than those of the
T~ransvaal, and there is no reason why
these countries, along with Manica
Safola, should not soon rival the Trans
vaal in gold production.
