NEW HORSES WINNING.
The Racing Season Marked by
Costly Miscalculations.


The racing season is bringing out new
horses Requital, the Futurity winner or
two years ago. was badly defeated In the
special charity race at Morris park, the
victor being Handspring. who must now
be numbered among the honorables. AZ
the fall Of the flag Sims took Handspring
to the front under considerable urging,
squirting him "A good deal to get,him up TO
his work I'm the teeth of the heavy wind,
but the big chestnut responded and set q
fairly lively pace for awhile As they
rounded the upper turn Handspring seemed
to be- little more anxious to run, while
couple OF lengths behind was Requital,
apparently going easily. As they turned
into the stretch Griffin gave Requital
his head, but che distance between him and
the son OF Hanover was not lessened. Then
he urged his mount, but without success,
for he could not keep up with the chest
nut In front, and was ingoriously beaten.
The betting was very heavy, and all tho
plungcrs were badly beaten, as they backed
Requital for as much as the layers would
take.

LAURELS FOR MCCOY.
Fighting Qualities Displayed by the Cam
didate For the Championship.

Many sporting men look upon Charles
(Kid) Mccoy MS the coming pugilistic
champion, aud his recent easy victory over
Dick O Brion at New York inspires addi-
tlonal confidence among his friends. Nc
Coy did not knock his opponent out but
he hammered him so badly that the referee
stopped the contest In the tenth round.
O'Brien was I'm a sad condition. His right
eye was badly discolored and swollen, and
his face was cut and bruised. O'Brien
seemed TO have difficulty in breathing, the
blood evidently choking him. He was
also in a complete state Of collapse. Nc
Coy outclGssod his opponent, but In spite
of this fact the lattor made determined
resistance and landed many hard blows,
but his efforts were In vain. His only
hope for victory lay in a chance blow.
which did not matcrlalize. McCoy's bnt-
Gle shows that ho Is good, clever, shifty,
two handed fighter, hat not a knocler out.
He is of the Corbett type OF boxers, who
depend on jabbing an opponent slowly
but surely 90 n state of collapse rather
than rely on the effectiveness Of IA single
blow to accomplish the same results.

CYCLING POINTS.
An Ohio genius has invented a bicycl

An Ohio genius has invented bicycle
having piyoscd handle bar with wire and
lever connections, by means OF which the
power Of the arms Is transmitted 10 the
driving mechanism OF the machine. In
trials on the track 10 has been found TO TO
duce the time of the ordinary bicycle from
10 TO l5 per cent, and after the rider be-
comes thoroughly accustomed 10 its use 1t
Is expected To do even better.
Care should be taken In turning into n
side street from the opposite side of the
street on which the turn Is made. The left
turn is productive of hundreds of street
corner accidents. The rider is naturally

using To reach side street from the

II is a well known fact that persons lost
In forest or on the prairie will travel in
a circle, although they may think they
are moving in Il straight line. This is be
cause nearly every one is either right

have better uso Of one leg than of the

Trotting Association Inspector Frobisher

France, she wns quito skillfully managed.
She was not taken tD any Of the important
meetings, hut was raced where the money
was sure though not great as tn quantity.
She raced around Paris, where her speed
attracted attention. In The Horse Review
of Feb. 81 there appeared an editorial on
the mysterious disappearance of BERTHE II.
IL passed under tho notice OF officers OF the
National Trotting association, who began
search for her. Not many days after
ward there reached headquarters at Hart
ford u letter from Billy Weeks, one of the
American trainers now In France, de-
scribing the mare Adrin, stating that she
was or years old. and closing with the
observation, They don't lot as fast ones
as Adria grow To be so Oil in America be-
fore they take them To the races. One
of the peculiar things done by those who
exported the mare was To- attach photo
graph of her to one Of the papers filed
with FrobiSher. A copy OF IL WAS sent TO
France and another to John IL. Gentry
and James i. Rainey, who were formerly
owners of BERTHE X. The Identification on
both sides of the water was complete.
Meanwhile, In some unaccountable man.

The Forrest City times., 1897-03-19

One of the last acts of the leg is- lative bodies was the passage of the Federal compromise bill over the the veto of Governor Jones. The feeling toward this bill was no doubt actuated upon honesty and a pride for the good name of the state. This qualification did not omanate from any persona! feeling, but from the fact that the legisla- turo had insisted upon the accept ance of what is conceded to be the very best terms of settlement ob tainable from the government. The amount had been scaled from a million odd 10 sl60,000. The state. owes the amount and should pay it.

Hard Times.

While bemoaning the hardness of the times, the other day, young man remarked, that "One might as we'll be in h. as in this country and broke." After he had taken his departure, one of our substan- tial citizens commented as follows: "That young man is utterly worth less. By an occasional trade and sponging on his hard working pa- rents, he manages to make res pectable appearance. Good times or poor would be all the same to hlm, for he feels too respectable to work at the only thing he is fit for manual labor. Corn could be worth three dollars a bushel and railroad bonds depressed to far thing on the hundred, but that hap py condition of affairs would make e no difference with him, as he has no crop to sell nor money to buy bonds. Given dog and an old gun, he will willingly spend three dollars worth of time Tn killing a five cent rabbit. He will either fool some girl with little money into marrying him or end as a mar ker in a crap game. He IS a photo type of what you will find in every American community-a man who has no talents to be appreciated, and lacks the force to use them had he them in abundance.
