Ex-Speaker Tom Flynn of the New
Jersey legislature has been appointed offi-
c1al starter on the New York race tracks,
to fill the vacancy made by the resigna tion
of Jimmy Rowe, who gave up the position
to take charge Of the thoroughbreds be-
longing to the late Col. w. F. Thompson
There were many applicants for the po-
sition, including Charles Pettingill, J. E.
Caldwell, W. Fitzpatrick, J. Mclaughlin,
F. NJ. Ware. W. Easton and Chris Fitz-
gerald, who is now welding the flag at
New Orleans. The latter withdrew from
the contest two days ago.
Considerable influence was brought to
bear on the stewards Of the Jockey Club
by almost every candidate, as the position
is lucrative one, paying until recently 500
per day. The salary, however, will be
hardly as good under the new order of
things, as every association has cut down
expenses all round, and the starter was not
overlooked. Even supposing it Is only half
the original amount 1t is worth looking
after.
Flynn first dropped the flag at Gloucester,
N. j., about four years ago. After the
Gloucester meeting closed Flynn attended
to New Jersey politics for a time. In 1894
Flynn started the horses at Brighton Beach,
and his work was SO good that he was pro-
nounced the best starter in the country.
He then accepted q position at st. Asaph,

believe that if q pastor Of fashicu-
able church were to denounce any partio-
ular play as positively immoral it would
very soon disappear from the stage. A
very large percentage of the ordinary
playgoers are communicates Of. the
churches, and a well considered con-
demnation of play would certainly in
lure its popularity. "Christian people"
would not think it respectable" to sit
through play which had been con-
demned by their spiritual pastors. AL
that is needed is q little more minis
