BRoADsWoRD COMBAT.
Judge Decides it Was Cruelty to
Animals

Washington, Jan. 6-Lieutenant Bar
ber, of the district militia, a broad
swordsman was yesterday fined $50 in
the peace court for cruelty to animals
in the broadsword contest in this city
last Friday.
The contest was public one between
Lieutenant Barber and Duncan G.
Ross who gave broadsword exhibi-
tions at the Worlds fair. Both men
were mounted and wore shields for
their own protection, but left their
horses entirely without protection. The
horse ridden by Lieutenant Barber was
badly cut over the eye. The exhibition
was witnessed by the prosecuting at
torney. who called the police, stopped
the performance and caused Lieuten-
ant BARRIERS arrest. 1t was stated by
the prosecutor in court that the con-
test was as brutal as a prize fight,
with the difference that the defenseless
horses had to take the punishment in
stead OF the men. Though the per-
formers claimed that the contest was a
scientific one recognized among the
Olympian games, the court held that
it was plain cruelty to animals.

DECISION REVERSED.
Celebrated South Carolina Bond Case
to the Front Again.

Annapolis. Md. Jan. 6.-The court of
appeals yesterday reversed the decision
of the court below in the celebrated
South Carolina bond case The suit grew
out of dispute between L. Edward
Hambleton & Co. and other Baltimoreans
and Colonel Rhynde, of Georgia. and a
banker named Lancaster of New York
and Richmond. over a division of COM
missions for floating a bond issue of the
state of South Carolina.
In 1892. Rhynde obtained authority from
the authorities of South Carolina to float
Lancaster for aid in forming a syndicate
to take them. Lancaster was unable to
float the entire issue. and Hambleton 81
Co. were appealed to. 1t was agreed that
all subscribers should share alike in the
profits of the transaction. After the
bond issue, Lancaster and Rhyndes it is
alleged. entered into a secret agreement
whereby two-thirds of the interest due
on JULY J. 1893, should be paid to Lam
caster Ito pay syndicate expenses, -
which, it was limited, WAS political in
fiuerce- This, if the whole of the issue
was considered. would amount TO more
than $11S,000.
The court holds that the syndicate had
q right to know what these syndicate
expenses were. and says that Lancaster
not only suppressed the truth but in his
testimony deliberately uttered the most
unblushing falsehoods. The court tinds
against the claim of Rhynde that Lam
terest. and requires Rhynde TO pay over
SIG Z50 with interest and costs to the ap-
oellants. the Baltimore members of the
syndicate

The Horse Havmarket.

San Francisco, Jan. 6.-This after
noon, at Ingleside, Judges J. H. Rees
and J. w. Wilson handed down an i'm
portant decision in the case of the
horse Haymarket, his owner, Boyd,
and Jockey Stanford, who We're en-
gagged in a uspicious-looking race last
week
Just before the race, which was a
steeplechase, Haymarket, who was a
favorite, proceeded so much in the
betting that the judge took down
Stanford and put UP another jockey.
Stanford afterward told the judges
that the owner Boyd, had asked him
to pull Haymarket, but he had re-
fused to do so; also that he had been
importuned to pull that and other
horses several times. All this caused
a great sensation and the judges made
a thorough investigation. The de-
cision is that Jockey Stanford he
fined $25 and suspended for the rest
of the Ingleside meeting for not hav-
ing told them when he had first been
requested to pull the horses. Owner
Boyd has been indefinitely suspended
and his entries. including the horse
Haymarket, will be refused in the fu-
ture.

in affection and admiration for my own
state yet l. with the people of the entire
nation. look with peculiar pride upon
New York as the great empire state of

Hon. John Boyd Thatcher:
Dear Sir: l sincerely regret that the
many official duties do not permit me to
join my friends in Albany on the 9th
instant. as a participant in their centen-
nial celebration. The yeras spent in your
city, while 1 discharged all such Of
fetal duties, left on my mind the clear
conviction that no mistake was made
when Albany was fixed upon as the seat
of government for the great state of New
Yor!- to be always thereafter associated
with it's glory and its prestige. During
my stay among the good people of
Albany, 1 gathered in many delightful
remembrances. You may be sure, there
fore, that though absent, l shall on the
day of your celebration remember with
qualification my proposed participation in
the exercises at this particular capital.
and oleasurably recall the discharge of
important and lab0rious duties made more
easy by the greater hospitality of it's
people.
VERY truly yours.
