THE TURF.
A WeII-Nnoyvn Boohmal<er n Can6i-
date For the Asylum.

San FRANC1SCO, Aug. 5.-JOnn
Humphreys, the we'll known book
maker, has shown signs of alteration
of intellect and is at present under
treatment at the German hospital.
Humphreys malady made it's ap-
pearance in a mild form about a week
ago, and since that time he has been
kept under surveillance by his friends.
These latter are at loss to find
reason for his mental collapse. 1t is
tolerably certain that money losses
have nothing to do with the popular
turfman's condition, for it is stated
that the winter season was a success
ful one fer his book, and that he re-
covered upward of $40 900 which he
lost during the previous summers rae
ing at Bay District. II is known that
Humphreys has suffered from inson-
MIA for some months, and those who
are intimately acquainted with him
are inclined to think that the mental
strain attendant upon continuous
season of bookmaking is now showing
it's effects.
A few days go Humphreys began to
harbor the delusion that certain friends
were in league TO do him an injury.
He accosted people on the streets and
charged them with circulating stories
to his detriment. Those accused were
at loss to account for the excited man
ner and wild charges until they learn
ed later Of his mental condition.
Whether a season of rest and care
full nursing wifi restore the unfortu
nate bookmaker to his normal condi
ton remains to be seen.

COLUMBUS, O.. Aug. 5.-Fine
weather and fast track contributed
to the success of the races today. The
free-for-all trot was the card that drew
out a big crowd. F'antasy's time in the
first heat, 2:061A, was the fastest ever
trotted in a race on the Columbus
track, and the fastest made anywhere
in a free-for-all trot this season. The
first heat in the 2:25 pace was married
by an accident in which Ed Geers, the
veteran driver. had a narrow escape.
Just after the horses got away Silk
woodruff, driven by Grady, stumbled
and fell. Red Oak. driven by Geers,
was close behind and being unable to
get out of the way went down also,
throwing Geers over his head. Geers
struck on his shoulder and his presence
of mind saved him for he crawied IN
der the fence just as Red Oak rolled
over He was pretty badly shaken up,
but will be in the sulky again in a few
