ON THE TURF

,acirg, says the 81. Louis Post-Dispatch
Horsemen have begun to look upon Call
fornia as rather too much Of a luxury so
far as winter racing Is concerned, and will
pay all their attention to the south. There
are many reasons for this change, the
principal one being that New Orleans rae
ing this winter promises to be better
game than ever before, and there will be
a lot more money offered. The stake list
Will be enlarged, according to reports
from the Crescent City, and at least $4,000
more will, be given. One or two Of the
stakes will be cut down In value. but the
amounts cut will be added to other races
The idea Is 20 give at least three stake
races In a week and thus practically DC
away with the free badge idea.
Jimmy Mccormick. trainer Of the Burns
& Waterhouse string, Is one Of those who
has his eye on the New Orleans purses this

the splendid showing he made in his night

the exception Of one round. Thompson

sickness OF last winter left him very

fought Thompson last October. Thompson
showed remarkable improvement, how
ever, since his last meeting with Parker.

MUSTARD AND CRESS

One of the most picturesque characters
Of this country recently spent few weeks
at the Arcadia at Santa Monica, and nat
urally attracted much attention; this was
no other than that veteran ex- COME ederate
general. Wade Hampton Of Columbia.
South Carolina. who since the war has been
United States senator and government
railway commissioner. His duties call for
an annual inspection of the Central. Union
and other Pacific railways. He was ac-
companied by his daughter. both Of them
having been here last year. when he caught
the largest tuna and yellowtaI ever
brought to gan by an octogenarian.
The general walks with a slight limp due
to cork leg. the use OF which illustrates
the story of an old sergeant who went
through the war without a scratch, but
after the hostilities was kicked to pieces BY
a mule. The general was In sixty-eight
battles and skirmishes during the unpleas-
antness without being wounded, and lost a
leg as a result Of having 1t broken while
out hunting some years after the cessation
Of host.ities.
A pleasant as we'll as a tender incident
recountcd to me by Major Truman was the
call the general had while at the Arcadia
from the three handsome grandsons Of Al.
bert Sidney johnson. which brought ur
memories OF the heroic days Of the early COS
and mo.stened the eyes OF the grim Ole
warrior. II knew your grandfather well
my boys" he said. "he was noble soldier
a Christian gentleman-a rare character"
This fine old South Carollnan was . lone
time getting reconstructed. partly because

slaves. but he is thorough Star spangled
