The Bonhomme Richard was an un-
lucky ship. Paul Jones himself on tax
ing command of her at Loricnt, France,
wrote II most doleful letter about her
to one of his aristocratic patronesses i'll
Paris. She was "a wornout old India
man, and cher forecastlc was babel -
Fourteen different languages are spo-
ken i'll my forecastle,' said Jones, dis
mayed at the appearance of his motley
crew.
Two days out ut sea the Bonhommc
Richard WAS fouled by her consort, tho
Alliance, and had her jib boom and fore.
topmast carried away. Jones then put
back 70 Lorient, perfectly convinced of
the unluckiness Of his ship. But through
that accident he found ia American
seamen who had Just been released from
English prisons by exchange. Among
them was Richard Dale, whom Jones at
once appointed first lieutenant. These
all volunteered into the Richard, Jones
promptly discharging enough of his
polyglots to make way for them. Prior
to that he had only about 40 Americans.
This addition made 1874 fighting Yankee
seamen, and they were the men who
made the Scraps sick II few weeks late,
off the east coast of England.
Thus it happened that the grandcst
exploit i'll naval history was achieved
by an unlucliy ship, and she obtained
the means of achieving it through dis.
tressing accident.-Philadelphia Times.

THE SPORTING WORLD.

1t is said that tho main reason why
PAGERS last longer on the turf than trot-
ters is that tho "side wheelers'' carry
less weight on their feet. A trotter that
must carry, as many Of them do, front
shoes weighing 10 or 12 ounces and
sometimes A or 6 ounce toe weight
besides, cannot but submit the tendons,
muscles and ligaments of his legs to all
enormous strain. The conoussion when
the feet Of trotter SO shod strikes the
ground, when going faster than 2:1O
gait, is terrific, and it is hardly TO be
wondered at that so many of tho crack
trotters retire i'll a crippled condition
early in life. Tho pacing gait, unlike
the trotting gait, is as q rule developed
to its limit without loading tho horse
down with heavy shoes or weights.
Joe Patchen, BOB, the largest of the
fast PAGERS, wears shoes in front weigh
ing only A Il ounces. His shoes are plain
bar shoes. having neither heel nor toe
calks. Robert j, 01 II, wears the Same
style of shoe, and it is Of exactly the
same weight. John r. Gentry, 2:OOb,
wears plain bar shoe weighing trifle
less than ounces, while the shoe
worn by Star Pointer, although of the
same style, weighs 531 ounces. Frank
Agan, s:0324, is the only one of the
pacing cracks of 1896 that did not wear
bar shoes. HIS shoes are of the ordinary
shape having heel caks running length
wise of the web and too calk extend
ing clear around tho toe, following tho
shape of the web. Exchange.

Tho number of clubs that have been or

THIEVES, ALL OF THEM.
The Four Bushmen Arrested on
Friday Last.

George Wall, James Kelly, James
Smith ana Steve Kearney, the willow
camp hobos arrested on Friday morn
ing ty Officers Maley and Higgins on
suspicion Of being the petty thieves who
have for the past two months worked
the northern portion of the city, are
still i'll jail, and will in all probability
be'thele for a long time.
The arresting officers went to work
on the men directly after their arrest,
and early yesterday morning one of the
number weakened and admitted that
they were the much wanted gang of
back door thieves who had systematic
ally stolen everything they could carry
away.
The prison record of articles of minor
value recently stolen was brought out,
and as the items were read off the
hobo gave such answers as, II stole
that Smith swiped that" or 'all four
of US took that and when the end
was reached it was found that the gang
was responsible for most of the thiev-
ing reported of late.
The officers informant went further
than TO assert that himself and his fell
low hobos committed the thefts. He
accompanied Officer Maley to a num-
Der Of Places in the city where stolen
articles had been disposed of. and these
We're readily given up by the parties
who had purchased them in good faith.
Several weeks ago the Gilt Edge
baseball team visited Stockton and
were given a fall by the fans of that
city, and Captain Ruhstaller was there
to witness the defeat of the locals. Dur
ing his absence a favorite canary bird
and is cage was stolen from his prem
ises In the course of his travels with
the officer the willow camp thief
brought up at a residence at Ninth and
E streets, at which place the gang had
disposed of the bird and cage, and
Captain Ruhstaller will soon again be
in possession of his favorite feathered
songster.
The officers have learned that two
of the gang have served terms in the
State prisons, and that the other two
have 6cne time in the County Jail for
minor Offenses. The officers deserve
credit for their clever work on the
case.
