they bear him children, Otherwise
he gives them away TO his officials
and dignitaries, presentation being
regarded as signal honor which is,

of dowry.

Fascinating John Bright.

Sir Wemyss Reid gives some interest ing "reminiscences of John Bright in Cagsel1's Magazine. The great Liberal leader often sat in an old fashioned armchair in the Reform club. He de- lighted in talk and was fond of repeat ing poetry. On one occasion he began to talk to Sir Wemyss about his fayorite hymns, and as he warmed to his subject he repeated some of them. It was a strange subject, perhaps, for a club smoking room, but t was still stranger to observe that as he spoke with that wonderful voice of his the other men in the room first looked up and began to listen, and then, as though drawn by an irresistible spell. drew nearer to him. until before long he had thom all sitting round him in a circle enjoying that music of the human speeoh'' of which above all living men he was master. John Bright Teoiting hymns in club smoking roeml "There, ]" ex- claims Sir Wemyas, is 3 picture for an artist if he only knows how to treat it. ,

TIE indorsement of Gov Bradley by the Republican State convention does not seem to be giving the gen. tleman much concern. His personal organ, the Frankfort Capital, brings the matter to a focus as follows: 'sThe coming Republican State con Yention is not matter of much in terest or importance to the party. There is no issue involved in the election of a clerk of the Court Of Appeals and tlere is nothing of i'm portance in the gathering Of few political pie-hunters hke Sam Rob erts, Bill Lyons and 'Kagey "Hamp. ton and Q collection of political comic valentines like Bill Taylor and Deboe, Franks, Todd, Jim Hap py and a few hundred more of their kind. The Democratic papers are making great to do over the ques- tion whether or not Ethe convention will endorse Gov Bradley. It makes no difference to anybody but these little picture card politicians whether they indorse Gov. Bradley
 thereby stultify themselves, or y-efuse to indorse him and thereby insure their defeat next fall by 50.
 
 GOO majority, or in thair usual cow ardly manner try. to frame . resolu- ton which will pass with the public as an indorsemeat, but which in private they can ehuekle over as containing 3 concealed insult to the man who dragged them out of ob- scurity.

Yale'S Crew.

The Yale Varsity crew rowed time
stretch of mile over the lake Whitney
course in very good time yesterday. The
course is not staked off. and it is some
what more than a mile, but the crew
covered 1t in about minutes 4 seconds,
rowing stroke averaging from 20 to 80
per minute.
GreeIx2ay, the freshman, who rows at
No. 4, was put in the boat in place of
Paul Mills, who Is suffering from "a slight
cold. 1t is not yet decided whether Mills
or Greenway Will row in Saturdays race
against Wisconsin. Greenway is the choice
If he can hold out, but he is inclined to
work too hard and overdo his power He
is in good physical condition again, and
probably will keep in the boat until after
Saturdays race, at least.
Yale expects her new cedar boat from
Davy of Cambridge today and will then
change her quarters tn lake Saltonstall
and row there during the rest of the
week.
Wisconsin has received her shell from
Davy, and is very well pleased with it.
The westerners rowed over the course on
Saltonstall Tor the first time yesterday.
Their rowing was fair, but their men are
not we'll together and their stroke is con
siderably shorter than Yale's. Judging
from Wlsconsin's work as compared to
Yale's, the latter should win the race on
Saturday by good margin.
Cook went out To Wisconsin's quarters
at lake SaltonstalI this morning and spent
several hours with the western oarsmen.
The latter absolutely refused 10 allow the
Yale freshmen TO enter the race ON Sat
urday. 1t WAS decided 10 row the race
between and D o'clock on Saturday al
ternoon. Mr.. Lehmann, the OAford coach
has been asked TO referee the race. The
course will be two miles straightaway.
The crews will toss for choice OF the posi-
tion, in which there is very little prefer
ence.

Murphy's Baseball Grievance.

Manager Connie Murphy OF the New
Bedfords tells this story over the treat
mcnt accorded him by Manager Finn at
Newport yesterday morning:
1--WE took the o'clock electric from
New Bedford rs we have dore before. but
owing 20 repairs on the road we were
late IN getting To Fall River. We hustled
for all We wero worth, but just missed
tue train. 1 wired Manager Finn that we
could not got to Newport until IL o'clock
and asked him 20 have bus ready for
us.
I'VE dressed on the train, and upon ar
riVnl at Newport lost no time in making
for the grounds. | was then Informed
that the game had been given against us,
Co O. but was asked to play an exhipi-
ton game which 1 refused to do.
II consider our treatment shabby, in
decd. from a brother manager. and shall
certainly bring the matter before the
board of directors There were several
New Bedford gentlemen on the same car
with us, who also missed connections.

A Bit of Wheeling Advice.

This bit of wheeling advice about turn
Ing suddenly To the left or right, though
old and somewhat thread bare, Is still evil
IDENTIFY worth reading; for If 10 were oh
served the probabilities are one-third OF
tho mishaps which make up the daily
chapter OF cycling accidents in Providence
would be done away with. This negli-
gence In looking where you 90 while
turning Is the cause Of numerous collis-
ions In such cases the responsibility be-
longs partly To the rear rider, who should
Invariably give warning before passing
the one In front; still II the front rider
looks before turning such accidents should
not occur. Regard OF wnat Is before him
usually absorbs the entire attention Of
the novice. To look behind Is past the
skill of tho average beginner when he es
says road racing. and IL Is naturally tho
inexperienced who are the chief victims in
this sort OF accident. Care should be
taken in turning into "a side street from
the turn is made. The left turn is pro-
ductiye OF hundreds OF street corner acci-
dents. The rider is naturally on tho
right-hand side OF the street he is using.
To reach a side street from the left he is
likely TO turn directly in front of teams
approaching from behind unless precau-
tion Is taken to look around. The city
street is "a risky place for the novice. but
he Is always with us at this season of the
year. IL no al ways looks before turning
there would be far less OCCASION for am
bulance calls. If he has not the ability
TO do this he should go back to indoor or
country riding until The trick Is acquired.

CROESUS AMONG JOCKEYS.
An English Rider who Is Said to Be
Worth Half Million.

The Croesus Of jockeys Is Tom Loates
of England who rides for the Rothschilds.
He is worth In the neighborhood OF half
today the cleyerest rider on the turf. Az
present he Is in New York on u pleasure
trip and incidentally charming the racing
men with his winning and gentiemaniy
ways
In appearance Loates is short but
sturdily built He has the shoulders OF u
lightweight boxer and from these he no
Aoubt gets the terrific power which has
driven many tired thoroughbred over
the line "A winner by short lead. This
Is the youngster who, on the race track
in his own country. is bigger man
than the Prince OF Wales in his own way.
He Is idolizod by the race goers and there
are many that declare that be Is even u
better rider than the famous Fred Archer.
In speaking OF our local conditions Loates
Is conceivably polite. Our race tracks
are so totally different from those In Eng
land that he hardly feels capable OF criti-
cising them. He Is used To the turf, the
customary RAINING ground IN the old
country and Is inclined To favor IL on
the ground that turf Is soft and when
kept especially for racing offers the horses
"a better course. Short races he adds, arc
becoming more popular In England, people
want 10 see more Of the race and they
seem to be about as determined TO have
their way as our racegoers here.
Loates Is just recovering from nasty
injury, n broken thigh, caused last fall
in the Liverpool cup race. He was riding
horse named Birchrod and became
pocketed and thrown. owing To the jostling
Of the horses on either side. IL was lucky
that he was not killed.
Loates has been in the saddle II years.
During that time he has ridden many
famous horses and scored some great
victories. lie was second in the Derby last
year with ST. Frusquin and with the same
horse he captured the two richest stakes
in all England, notably tho Eclipse, valued
at 500 coo, and tho Prince Of Wales stakes
Of Ike sum. English experts believe
him to be better artist than even the
great Archer. He has perfect seat and u
marvellous coaxing pair of hands, which
his square shoulders give him tho power
To use. His victories in the saddle have
netted him an enormous income, and ho
is said to live in princely style.
