TROUBLE OVER A RECORD.
MISPLACING of THE MEASURING
APPARATUS alleged AGAINST
NEW WORKERS.
AWARDS IN LITERARY CONTESTS.
Beautiful Drill Exhibition Given by
Ten Thousand Pupils of the
Public Schools.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May S.-Fifty thou
sand persons viewed todays events at
the national funniest. Rain interfered
with the morning programme. Some
what of a scandal has grown out OF
yesterdays far-high jumping, which
was not concluded today, owing to an
alleged Intentional misplacing of the
measuring apparatus. Just after the
New York Turnverein had completed
its jumping and had made the best
score the teacher Of the Philadelphia
Turngemeinde called the attention Of
the judges to the fact that the appar-
atus had been moved back half a foot.
The Judges decided to give the New
Workers the alternative Of Jumping
over again or accepting a reduction Of
half a point in their marking. The
New Workers decided today that they
would stand by the record made yes
terday. They submitted a protest to
the judges demanding that, if they
are compelled to jump over again or
have to submit to reduction, the
other societies which performed on the
same apparatus should be treated the
same way.

But Gave 1t Up When Sen Re Became
a Professional Fighter In
1851.

Norman selby, alias Kid Mccoy, who
is believed by many to be the coming
champion, Is just beginning, and If he
cares for himself In years to come as
he has cared for himself in years past.
he will probably do more than his adj
mirers expect. He Is but twenty-three
years of age and is still growing. Three
yearse ago his fighting weight was 40
pounds, while today he fights at 1876
pounds. Two years from now this
great mtddle-weight will be in the
heavy weight class.
His career has been an interesting
one. He has fought and won many
battles, and has but one decision
against him, and this came early in
his fighting life. He is the son of a
well-to-do citizen of Rush county. In
diana.
When quite young he joined the Y.
M. C. A., and soon acquired taste
for fighting. He punched the bag and
took those exercises best suited to de-
velop the fighting muscles.
The quiet life of the country became
distasteful and Mccoy ran away from
home and went to Louisville, KY,
where he worked as cash boy in
dry goods store. He Joined the Louis
vile branch of the Y. M. C. A. and
kept up his practice until finally he
decided to adopt fighting as a profess
sion.
His life from the day he fought and
whipped Pete jenkins in four rounds,
in June, 1891, at st. Paul, Mimi, is
ring history. He has fought and won
steadily since then. The man that
whipped him he afterward defeated.
Mccoy is one Of the most gentleman
ly men in the ring. He Is quiet and
courteous and always obliging. He
loves his profession and studies it as
men of other professions study. Every
vulnerable spot in 1.-THE body is known
to him. He knows how. when and
where to hit, and has the great
strength that makes his blows felt

BY proclamation Of the Governor to-
morrow Saturday will be observed as
a legal holiday. The day is so set
aside in cOmmemOration of the defeat
Of the funding bill by Congress The
Governor undoubtedly took this action
only after the greatest pressure had
been brought to bear on him. The
time is so short between the issuance
of the proclamation and the advent Of
the day that we doubt if it viii be
generally observed. Indeed, we are far
from being convinced that the victory
is worth celebrating. 1t strikes US as
being rather barren and not full of
promise to California; that after all,
not political and personal hate and
prejudice, should be the test of the
victory. We hope that our view of the
situation may be mistaken and that all
the blessings which the enemies of Mr..
Huntington see in the victory may in
ure to the State.

Governor Budd has proclaimed to-day
a legal holiday to celebrate the defeat
of the funding bill. The courts must
be closed, banks must close, business
men must be discommoded and gener-
al affairs must stand still for a day
while the people glorafy the Examiner
and make cheap history for that pa
per. This Is about the size Of the le-
gal holiday proposition. 1t was con-
ceived in 5he Examiner" office and
emanated from one man who sits at a
desk in a corner and directs the policy

stop their business pursuits to glorify

might have met an acquaintance from
the West Side-one in fact, who was
guilty of voting for him in 1S94-who
had driven nearly forty miles 10 trans
act some business with the county,
only to find when he reached here that
it was a holiday by special agitation.
The West Slider returned home to spend
his Sabbath and to cultivate a forgiv-
ing frame Of mind.
Perhaps the saddeSt case was that

Friday night intending to collect the
installments from his patrons and take
his departure last evening. His patrons
were all attorneys. When he approach
ed they sorrowfully shook their heads
and reminded the poor agent that 1t
was legal holiday and they could
not properly accept a receipt made out
in contravention of the Governors eX-
press proclamation. When the police
wanted to take some one-night drunks
before Judge RendOn yesterday morn
ing, the latter objected and wanted to
continue the cases till Monday on the
strength Of Budd's ''fOllyday," but Chief
Kingsbury insisted that the court sit,
and Judge Rendon yielded and the mat
ter was disposed of.
Condemnation of the Governor was
general, emphatic and explicit. The
division of sentiment was not on party
lines, in fact there was no division.
How the holiday will operate in those
remote counties and districts that could
not be reached by telegraph, and where
legal business may have been trans
acted and a cloud of uncertainty cast
over important business, it is too early

GOVERNOR BUDD'S HOLIDAY.
Further Comments of the Press Of the
State Upon II.
Almost Universally Looked Upon as a
StupendouS Piece of
Folly.
Stockton Record.)

To-day is a legal holiday in the State
of California by virtue of the folly of it's
Governor. 1t is one of the penalties the
commonwealth pays for the untoward
accident that swept Budd out of Stock
ton into the chair of State. The i'm
mediate excuse for this act iS the fail
ure of the funding bill to pass the House
of Representatives. 1t is therefore
kind of negative holiday to celebrate
the defeat of something that never ex-
listed
What will strike the average citizen
as peculiar about the holiday and the
occasion, is the appointment of the
10th to celebrate something that failed
to happen several days before. But no
one in Stockton Will have ITO be told the
real reason for Governor BuddS pro-
clannation. They all know his propen-
sity for playing to the galleries. Just
at present the Examiner constitutes
the noisy element in the galleries, as
did Dennis KeaTney in 1879. Had Budd
been prominent i'm 1879 he would have
hidden for Kearney's support. Yet the
Governor is not to be blamed for this
he is made that way and cannot help
dt. He could no more firmly resist a
popular clamor than he could the offer
of a Senatorship. In fact, there is a
close connection between the holiday
and his desire to sit in the United States
Senate.
There was no call for a holiday on
this occasion, no excuse for one. The
only persons moving for a holiday are
some of those who desire TO make poll
fea1 =,
are not particularly pleased that the
bill is dead because of any benefit that
will come ito California from dts defeat,
but are particularly joyful that it's de-
feat can furnish them pretext to agi-
tate and may serve to land them in Of
flee or keep their party or faction alive.
THAT is the real substance of this move
ment.
The holiday business is getting to be
very tiresorne. 1t means all the time
more spoils out Of the people and less
return for 1t. 1t means that public Of
ficials, who constitute even now large
proportion of the class with abundant
leisure, may have another day of rest
or amusement on full pay, like a veteran
campaigner who has earned retirement
with twenty five years of service.

of Governor Budd in excusing the

State more in loss of service than the
worst kind Of a municipal government
could cost Stockton in five years of mis-
management. In fact, 1T is pure swim

continue at their usual avoca tons. It
IS an outrage that the people should not
be slow TO resent
1t matters not whether a citizen was
IN favor of or opposed TO the funding

The folly of this holiday proclamation
is just as apparent TO an Intelligent per
son, and it is just such supreme acts OF
folly on the part of persons placed in
authority in this State that perpetu-
ates in the East the idea that California
people have great opportunities but
very little sense. They judge us too
much by our Governors.
