SENATOR
VESTS STORY.
A Kenucky Tale Told to Illus
trate a Point.

Jefferson City, Mo-, August
Io.-During the course of his
address TO the convention to-
day Senator Vest told a story,
in illust alton, that deserves to
occupy a place to itself. The
senator was talking of boiling
democrats. This is the story:
"When | was a boy in Ken
tucky-that was a long time
ago-there lived some dis
lance out from our town an
old fellow known as Uncle
Sam. Uncle Sam had a mare
named Nan that he would
back in a half-mile race
against any horse in the
world. He said she was di
rect from Godolphin, the great
Arabian horse.
"Once a year Nan would
present Uncle Sam with a
mule colt. The sale of this
mule foal was Uncle Sans
chief source of revenue.
Uncle Sans one great fail
ing was a fondness for Ken
lucky whisky. One day
he came into town and filled
to overlooking. He started
home on old Nan, the mule
colt following. He came to
tlkhorn creek, a famous
stream. The Elkhorn was out
of both banks, but Kentucky
whisky robs a man of fear, and
Uncle Sam plunged in. When
he struck the current he, Nan
and the mule colt went down
stream at forty miles an hour
They struck Peaks dam and
went over a ffty-foot cataract
The news of Uncle Sam
adventure spread rapidly. We
all thought he had gone tc
kingdom come. a month late
Uncle Sam rode into town or
Nan.
" The mare saved my life,
he said. Blood will tell. Sh'
can swim as well as she cal
run. She is a game old mare
but l lost the mule colt
And" said Senator Vest
in conclusion, 1--WE lose a few
mule colts, but the game OLE
democratic mare lives on"

A PRAYER FOR RAIN.
Conroe Courier.

In an adjoining county, a
few days ago, the farmers
were needing rain, and a camp
meeting was in progress,
when some one suggested
that they pray for rain. 81
lence was broken by some one
calling on Bro. c., who, in a
trembling voice, proceeded:
Dear Lord. we know That
thou art the fountain from
whence all waters flow. We
concede to Thee the power to
control the cloudburst and
waterspouts; that Thou art the
giver of all things. We pray
Thee, send to us now a fresh
ct, one that will make 1o-cent
cotton, free silver and big corn.
We don't want any little nub-
bins and gold standard.

amount in excess of that through his win
nings on the track. Requital is entered for
most of the rich stakes of this season and
the next, and there are those who profess
TO believe that II he starts in the Suburban
and Brooklyn hnndicaps next year those
two rich stakes will be practically at his
mercy.
That he will be the sensational perform
er OF 1897 seems to be a foregone conclu-
sion, provided he can escape all of those
numerous ills which horscflesh Is heir TO-
Despite the difference in their ages, a match
race between Requital and Henry of Ma
varre would attract more attention than
any event that could bo suggested for tho
American turf, and IL such contest could
be arranged IL Is within bounds to predict
that the younger horse would have very
heavy following. III the weights were as
they should be, he would also be certain 20
give the champion the race of his life and
would even stand an excellent chance of
defeating him.

EASTERN LEAGUE.

The second game OF the Syracuse Prov
idcnce series played at Adelaide Park
yesterday afternoon resulted in a victory
for the visitors by the score OF to q.
There was considerably more stick work
than on the preceding day, and in con-
sequence the contest was decidedly more
interesting.
1t was en- uphill fight for the Grays
from the start, ana though they were un-
able to overhaul the .bve runs made in
the second and third innings by the
stars, still, they played fast enough ball
TO prevent them scoring during the re-
mainder OF the game.
The visitors did tneii little trick In the
early innings in this manner: Minnehan
opened the second inning and started
the ball rolling by cracking out rattI-
ing two bagger. Carey then flied out 70
left field, after which Bannon sent a
grounder TO Cooney, who lost Ii. Moss
bit TO Canavap, and as Minnehan at
tempted TO score on the play, Canavan
cut him of on a throw TO the plate. This
left BaDnon and Moss on the bases, when
Ryan sent the ball over deep LETT field
fence for homer, scoring the three runs
in rapid succession. The two runs
made In the next inning were on Garry's
hree-bagger, Shearon's sharp drive to
center and com bination steal by Ban
non and Carey.
At the time 1t hardly looked as though
the five runs would win the game,
especially when the Grays in the fourth
inning found the ball for three tallies,
but such an unaccountable brace was
taken by the pitchers that IL was the
next thing TO impossible TO find the ball
frcm that out. IL did seem as though
the Grays would have fighting chance,
nowsver, when they. scored again In the
sixth and needed only one run TO tie the
score, but as inning after. inning went BY
and nothing but goose eggs were re-
corded the crowd finally admitted that
they were doomed TO disappointment.
Hodson was the bright, brilliant star Of
the exhibition. His pitching, we'll, 1t
was just the same as IL always has been,
steady and reliable, warranted for just so
many hits, but his batting was phenom-
enal, that Is, for pitcher. Out OF
three times at the bat he hit the ball
safely on three occasions and contributed
two Of the -four runs made by the Grays.
Umpire Swartwood had somo hard plays
upon which TO render decisions, and did
il fairly and impartially. Ii was thought
though that in his anxiety not to be
known as "home" umpire ne was
hit too jealous and thereby unconsiously
favored tho visitors. Score:

REQUITAL.
The Great Horse Who Has Won the Flu
turity and Realization Stakes.

Tor somc reason the followers OF the turf
have for many decades regarded tho 3-year-
old form of u race horse as the true test OF
his speed and stamina. In England the
crack event OF the course, the Derby, Is
competed for only by equines Of that age,
while in this country the Same Is true Of
the Realization, which Is so named for tho
reason that 10 IL the event which serves 20
show whether or not the winner OF the
Futurity of the year before is To realize tho
hopes of his owners and admirers. AT
least that Ia the theory, although 1t very
seldom Is the practice, for the cuscs in
which the nag who has managed 60 win
the Futurity as n 2-ycor-old can also con-
trive To get away with the Realization in tho
next season are rs rare as chickens teeth.
Still some horses have managed 20 do it,
One who has this great double event TO his
credit il Requital He appears TO have
gone far beyond the widest hopes of his
owner, Colonel W. Il. Thompson, who
bought him last year for the bagatello OF
5000, after he bad won the Futurity,
which was worth something like 500, 900.
The wiseacros almost 10 u man declared at
the time that the doughty colonel had paid
more for Requital than any piece of horse
flesh In the world was really WORTH but
the result shows that, as usual, these gen.
tlemen were mistaken.
There Is always one horse who is so far
beyond all the others of his age that he is
called ''the horse of tho year" Rcquital Is
now regarded In that way by shrewd turf
men, not few of whom declare that he Is
the equal In every respect of tho great Han
over or the swift Salvador, while some of
the extremists assert that no Is tho superior
of either of those superb animals. AT any
rate, Dame Rumor Is authority for the re-
port that Colonel Thompson can get $50,
900 for him whenever he cares To take 10,
and IL that is the case his retaining him
would seem TO indicate that lie is Of the
opinion that the horse will bring him an
