TO HIT HIM.
Boston Transcript.
The local preacher had a
ministerial friend come TO visit
him, and the latter was invited
TO fill the pulpit on Sunday.
The visiting clergyman took
occasion to inyeigh against the
sports of the day, and be was
especially severe in his denun-
citation of horse racing. After
the service the home preacher
told his friend he was very sor-
ry that he should be so severe
upon the turf, as Mr.. Dryer,
one of the congregation, who
was a very liberal contributor
TO the church, was a great lover
of horse racing. Before leaving
the church they met Mr.. Dryver.
Said the visiting clergyman,
after being introduced: Il hope

fILIBUSTERING
EXPEDITION.
The Spanish System of PATROL
ing the Coast-Daunt-
less Mission.


little apprehension from report
ca flllbustering expeditions ow
ing to the thoroughness with
which the Cuban coast is being
patrolled by the Spanish autho
rites. 1t is pointed out that
the success of these expedi
tons largely depends upon the
ability to deliver the goods to
the insurgents and that the
mere landing of an expedition
counts for little. Under the
system established by General
Wcyler the movement of any
considerable insurgent force
toward the coast is noted as a
step toward meeting the expe
ditlon. The insurgents have
no pack trains or the ordinary
means Of Transporting military
stores and are obliged to re
celve and carry goods by hand.
In handling boxes of guns or
any considerable supply of am
munition a large number of
men IS necessary to dispose of
an expedition by hand. For
this reason the approach of the
lnree Friends expedition was
made known to the Spanish
commanders by the movement
of a large insurgent force to-
ward the coast. A battle ensu-
ed and the insurgents were driv
en- inland. The point at which
theIhree Friends subsequently
tried to land was that to which
the insurgent force was headed.
This IS but one means of appre
hension and II does not dinin
ISL the scouting Of expedition S
before their departure. Accord
ing to official adviocs received
here the insurgents are in a |
desperate condition since the
death Of Maceo. The report
that Gomez crossed the eastern
trooha IS apparently disposed |
OF BY a statement coming from
a eia',le source. saying that
on December p Gomez was
held to the eastward of thej
strategetic line. 1t IS believed !
also that the insurgent leader
] .aget is either dead or badly I
injured. The disposal of him
from actual 6eId of conflict is
regarded as next il importance
to 1he death If Aiaceo.

HORSE NOTES.


The New Haven Meet-The Waterbury
Races-New Haven Horses.
The rain of the past week caused a
setback in the training of horses, and
consequently many entries for the Wa
terbury races, which were to close ear
ly, have been reopened and will close
later than first arranged for. The en-
tries will close Saturday, May %. This
was done in view of the small number
of entries received and the large
amount Of purses offered by the associ-
alton.
The meeting of the New Haven Driv-
ing association, which comes off on
June and 10. promises to be most
successful affair, and there is no doubt
that there will be large entry list.
The track at Elm City park is in fine
shape and will be kept so during the
remainder of this season. This meet
ing, following Immediately after the
Waterbury meeting, will attract some
of the best horses in the eastern cir
cult.
Patchen Boy is reported to have step
ped a mile in 214 over Mystic park re-
Gently.
Charles Tillinghast has added Star
Eddy, 2:26&, to his string, the latter
having been purchased by Mr.. A. r.
Bradley.
Elm City park is beginning to as
sumo a lively appearance, with the
many horses located there. Fast quar-
tiers are being reeled off with great reg
ularity.

THE NEW YORK MARKETS.

Cuthbert & Co. say in their dispatch
es yesterday Wheat showed a tenden-
cy from the start to recover from its
depression Of yesterday, and although
crop news was generally favorable and
weather conditions fine, and the bears
worked for further decline, the market
maintained very firm undertone and
closed firm at a net advance of Il to q
cents over last nights prices. The
present range of prices of wheat is re-
garded as comparatively safe, and fur
nishes an opportunity for fair profits to
buyers who can average their holdings
in the event of any further decline and
wait for the market to turn.
