In Australia the harness racer is grad
ually working his way into favor under
very adverse conditions. A few years ago
the fastest trotter of that country was
the stallion Huon. 2:2SA, by Hamlin's AL
mont, Jr., a horse that under the best
conditions was far from being a high
rater. During the past two years several
harness horses have scored creditable
records, and. although the tracks are far
from being good. a native-bred trotter
has made a two-mile record that would
he creditable in any country. This mare
is Rita, a daughter of Childe Harold,
son of Harold. taken from this country
TO Australia several years ago. In a race
of two-mile heats Rita scored a record of
4:5s%. When 1. is remembered that pre-
vious to Nightingale's performance the
two-mile record for trotters in this coun-
try was 4:4s, IL will be seen that this Aus
tralian mares performance is a most
creditable one.

There was considerable excitement at
the conclusion of a race the other day at
Bay District, owing to a bid-up over the
entered selling price of Mainstay, the
winner. The race cards showed that
Mainstay was entered to be sold for $500
and by couple of vigorous boosts Book
maker Ed Wallace raised the figures to
Sl,5OO. Some one from the Van Ness sta
BILE, which controls Mainstay, then bid S.
that amount being sufficient to retain the
horse. and as Wallace refrained from
further competition il looked as though
there would be no change of ownership.
About this time, however Van Ness gave
out that the IS bid had been made by one
OF the stable boys without authority. and
that IL was never intended to buy I'm
Mainstay at such an advance on his en-
tered price. This left the association I'm
rather queer predlcament. as by the
conditions governing selling races the
owner of Tonao. the second horse was
entitled to $500. or half the excess money
AS Van Ness remained obdurate. the
judges put up Mainstay at auction a sec
ond time, but there was no bid at all for
him.
As matters stand the association is the
temporary owner of Mainstay, and is re-
sponsible to Bloombaugh, who owns To-
ano, for the sum of $500. The horse. OF
course, Is worth more than the amount
due Bloombaugh. and horsemen are won
dering just what disposition will be made
of the nag.

Books have been opened in the West
and South on the Brooklyn and Suburban
handicaps, and quotations will doubtless
be posted against the Metropolitan candi-
dates after March 4, when the declara-
tions are due. Odds of 3 and TO l are
quoted against Henry of Navarro, who is
the favorite for both the Brooklyn and
Suburban, while % to is about the long
est price obtainable about the outsiders,
while Clifford, Dorian, Halma, keenan,,

in fact, every horse who showed any
form last season-can only be backed at
prices ranging from to Is TO !. II can
not be said that the oVt-of-town books
are attracting any considerable patronage
from city turfmen.
The Belmont trio are the favorites in
both the Brooklyn and Suburban and
those who single out a horse to finish in
front of Henry of Navarro. Keenan, and
Dorian coupled ask and receive good odds
Clifford. Lazzarone. DIR. Rice, Sir Walter
Hornpipe, Handspun, Counter Tenor and
Halma have in turn been backed in this
way against the Belmont lot. After the
Belmont entries they seem to stand as
favorites in about the order named. An
interesting fancy" bet recorded is 500 to
$50 against four for the Suburban-Kee-
nan, Lazzarone. Clifford and Counter
Tenor.
Pending the declarations for the Met
ropolitan, the first handicap of the three
great events has not figured i'm the bet
ting. Mr.. Rose. IL is said, will scratch
Clifford. Dorian, although he has three
pounds more TO carry than i'm the Brook
Ign, is well liked for the race, the dis
lance being considered more to his liking
than the one mile and a quarter of the
two later handicaps. Brandywine at 100
pounds, will probably find friends for the
race should he be left in. Another light
weight who may have an outside chance
Is Gay Hampton, Mrs. T.. Kernochan's
bay gelding, by Merry Hampton-Lady
Cay. The report that this horse has been
used as a hunter is not true. Gay Hamp-
ton was brought over as a weanling with
the mare by J. r. e. f. p. Keene. and af-
ter being highly tried as a yearling, went
amiss. Mrs. Kernochan bought the geld
ing as a 2-year-old at a Kentucky sale.
She had commissioned an agent to buy
her two hunters, but through a mistake
ne bought only one jumper and the 2
year-old.
Up i'm Westchester county. where Sir
walter has always had an army of adj
mirers, his friends are already outspoken
about his Metropolitan chances. With
only 112 pounds the 6-year-old son of Mid
lothian, should he regain the form OF last
spring. may be a likely candidate The
fact that he will go to the post straight
from the stable should help his chances
with Domino and Claudius scratched 7
% remain in for the Suburban seven less

as yet no declarations in the Gravesend
event As the Suburban will not be run
until June %. IL is already evident that
the race will be the greatest fixture of the
spring In popular interest. Its importance
as a classic" event is shown by the fol- 4

European writer's describe the sultan as
a very suspicious man. Granting that he
is so, show mo one man who would not
become suspicious under similar circum
stances. There are the ambassadors of the
six great powers, each trying to play the
game of his own country and repeatedly
misrepresenting the ideas of his rival.
The sultan believed and suffered. Chris
tian Europe has done little to abate his
difficulties. When he knows a person,
he believes him, but unfortunately the
person does not always deserve to be trust
ed. There is another popular error re-
Qarding the sultan's character. lt Is be-
lieved that his majesty yields only through
fear; hence some people always advise the
British ambassador to bully the sultan.
No greater mistake could ever be commit
ted by diplomats l asked a Turkish gen
tleman who is intimately connected with
his majesty how it was that hreneh ana
Russian diplomacy succeeded better than
British diplomacy, more especially when
the English are known to be tho best
friends of Turkey. He assured me that
somehow or other the French and the Rus
sian ambassadors manage to become pri-
vate friends OF his majesty. Tho sultan
hates official pressure Of whatever kind.
The French and the Russians get many
things done in the name of friendship
more than in the name of their govern
ments. His majesty is an extremely kind
hearted man, and when an appeal is made
to his friendship, or to his generosity he
cannot resist it.
On the other hand, be is a very sensitive
monarch, and he resents any oncroach-
ments upon his dignity AS an independent
sovereign. l wish Englismen would
take a little moro pains than they do to
learn oriental nature. The sooner tho pol
lev Of bullying oriental m0narchs Is abol-
ishod the better it will be for this country.

DIR. Parkhurst in The Ladies' Home
journal, says relative TO college athletes;
1t is therefore encouraging that our schools
and colleges are making physical culture
obligatory, and the acknowledgements lies
less in what such institutions have al
ready done in the way of cultivating the
body than it docs in their making it part
of academic confession of faith that man
can never altogether get over being an ami
nal, that there is no inconsistency be-
tween Intelligence and dust, and that the
more man wants to make of himself In
the upper strata of human possibility the
more careful no must be to keep in whole
some condition of repair the platform OF
tissue and blood oorpusole, into which, as
SO much bud into so much stock, later IN
foldings are insepaTably knit.
l should be sorry to have this interpret
ed as an approval Of all or nearly 81 Of
what passes under the name Of college
athletics 1t il one thing to train the body
for the sake of the man and it is another
thing to train the body for the sake Of the
body. regret that there is so much ten
doncy among college authorities to shape
the physical curriculum to the end Of pro-
ducing physical experts-football, baseball,
rowing match professionals. That kind
of thing is craze at present, and 1t is a
pity that among our college presidents and
professors so many have so far succumbed
| to the mania as to be willing to indorse 1t

The Mistake of n Recruit Whose Imagina'
ton VYaa Stimulated.


ton WAS Stimulated.
At the beginning Of the war there
were lot Of raw" soldiers, who,
though ardent fellows and good fight
ers, were not up to the West Point
standard on military matters At War
renton, Va, one of the new companies
happened to he stationed early in the
conflict, and many were the lessons that
had to be learned by the earnest but
ignorant southerners, who had but
slight idea of the rigid rules of warlike
discipline. But on the whole they did
we'll.
1t was one balmy September evening,
lust that time Of the year when the cool
breeze is laden with tho rich odors Of
the diving leaves and full Of an exhila-
rating crispiness that seems to fill ones
blood with dreams of love and happi-
ness. The moon was just peeping from
behind bank of clouds resting on the
crests Of the Blue Ridge, and the line
Of light crept down the sides and crawl
ed across the fields of waving corn and
the meadows full of chirping insects.
About in the field were scattered the
white tents Of the Confederates, and be-
meath them the tired men were deep in
slumber.
One of the most ignorant men had
been put out as picket, and for hours
he trod his beat, watching with eager
eve the lights from the distant farnl-
houses, lest some fire of an enemy S
Camp break out into the gloom. The air
was warm aud fragrant, and the sol
dier's mind was full Of the romance OF
/ the situation.
Presently the moon sank behind the
dark pillows of the cloud bank and the
world was wrapped i'll silence and dark
ness. But in each bush there sparkled
a glowworm, and about i'll the air cir
/ eulated some Of the bright insects known
as "lightning bugs, - whose tiny tails
| are seemingly pointed with fire.
Now the sentry suddenly became
alarmed and gave the signal, and the
/ camp was soon in turmoil. The men,
I hastily awakened from their sleep, be-
gan to saddle up, and were full OF de-
light at the thought Of meeting the enc
nv, whose campfres, so the sentinel
said, had just CLEANED ont from a dis
tant hill
The men were ranged up to begin
their march, the colonel exhorted them
that this was the "time to win thell
spurs, " and all was excitement, when
the sentinel crept up to the colonel.
Colonel, said the fellow in dis
eomfited voice. Il am mighty sorry
but I have made a mistake-there is NJ
campfire of the enemy-it's lightning
bug-you see, 1 am bit nearsighted.
And the man crept back to hide under
the flap of his desolate tent, while the
disgruntled men took themselves again
to slumber. -Philadelph Times.
