"Tod" Sloan had a great day on Satur-
day. He rode four winners out Of five
mounts. This is the greatest record since
the days of Archer
1t is generally known that the various
syndicates which operated the Windsor
track this season employed ways that
were dark and tricks that were vain to
evade the payment of $500 purses, as
provided by the Turf Congress classiiica-
ton rule, says the Chicago Journal. The
borrowing back OF part of the purses
from such winners as would stand it was
one of these expedients, and the subver-
sion of the original ,ntent Of the SculIy
purse idea was another.
The Scully purse, whether or not the
idea originated in the resourceful brain
of Colonel Bill Scully, was intended to
rid the turf Of a lot of inferior cattle By
the conditions the winners pass into the
hands of the association, never to be
used again for racing or breeding pur-
poses. That was not the way the SculIy
purse was used at Windsor. In some in
stances there the winners were sold back
to the original owners for a portion OF
the purse won. In other cases, for in-
stance, in those of Overflow and Beu-
Mt.a, the Scully winners rcnainedin
possession Of Secretary W. 0. Farmer,
and they are now being raced in his in
terest, with races made to fiji them, at
Nashville, where Farmer has holdings.
The Turf Congress has not yet officially
recognized the scully purse nor assumed
jurisdiction over its application. There.
fore, it is legal for associations to sub.
vert it's purposes while using its name
In its Nashville application the idea is q
detriment rather than an improvement
Instead Of being branded and turned
out, special conditions are framed so as
to keep the winners in continual use
and "keep the money in the family"

A DISAPPOINTED POLITICIAN.
Chauncy Williamson, the Colored Croker
of Washington County, has
Troubles of his Own.

Troubles of his Own.
Chauncy S. Williamson, en-
dorsee of the John Cain wing of
the Washington county republic
cans for a consulship in Mexico,
or most any other old thing, has
had a great hunk of serenity
knocked out of his bump of pla-
cidity, and is at present wrestling
with a robust COB of gloon.
Chauncey has been wooing the
tickle goddess of political adj
vancement, but his overtures for
place at the federal pie counter
have been unavailing. Hence
his 'plaint. Notwithstanding the
endorsement given him by his
colored colleagues as suitable
person to represent your Uncle
Sam in the courts of the Monte
zumas, Chauncey felt that an
office near home wouldn't be a
bad thing to fall back on in case
his claims to a consulship ex-
traordinary miscarried for any
cause. A place in the BRENNAN
custom house presided over by
Postmaster Dryer became the
cynosure of his eyes and the
climax of his ambition.
F'Time and again" said the dis
appointed applicant, ''Mr. Dwyer
said to me; Williamson, you
are my best friend, and I'll take
care of YOU" He promised the
colored republicans representa-
ton in the postoffice, and on the
strength of these promises, l
talked for him and wrote letters
everywhere for him. When the
executive committee met the
other day and passed resolutions
charging Mr.. Dryer with using
his influence against the colored
republicans who had been en-
dorsed for postoffices in this coun-
ty, l begged the committee to
withhold the resolutions until
Mr.. Dwyer came home. 1t was
also urged against him that he
claimed to certain parties that ne
bought the committee with box
of cheap cigars. / have vindi-
Gated his cause all along the line, !
and for a year we have shared
our political ideas, and 1 wrote !
many letters for him at his office
in the oil mill. I told him that if
the white people objected to my
being in the postoffice that |
should not try to serve, but would
resign. The. democrats appoint
3olored people to office, but these
white republicans don't. They
fooled my old daddy till he was
grey headed and now they are
