The Tax on Judgments.

The attorney general decides that
judgments obtained IN the federal
court are subject to taxation, the same
as judgments obtained in state courts.
The law says that judgments taken
in the courts Of the state shall be
taxed" Some holders Of judgments
taken in federal courts claimed that the
law meant only judgments rendered
in state courts. The attorney general
says courts of the state" does not
mean Estate courts but means all
kinds Of courts doing business within
the limits Of the state.

the big meeting at Fort Erie and the
smaller tracks I'm various parts of the
state, nearly 30 meetings have already
been scheduled in New York and addi-
tional dates are yet to be made.
have written thus in detail con-
cerning the prospective meetings in
New York state because IL was for
many years a main stronghold of the
trotting horse and now bids fair to re-
sumo something of its old time pres
tige. But while the trotting and pac-
ing magnates find much cause for con-
graduation in the New York situation
they are not all pleased with affairs in
Pennsylvania and Connecticut, where
the artibetting laws are quite as strict
as in New York, and no feasible plan
for evasion has been devised.
At least the ordinary number of
meetings and perhaps more than usual
will this year be held in Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio. Michigan, Kentucky and
other western and southern states and
everywhere the recently attained pop
ularity of the PAGER seems likely to be
maintained.
The increase OF the PAGER in popular
favor, by the way is one of the most
interesting features OF track sport to-
day. A few years ago PAGERS were only
tolerated on driving park tracks, and
the attendance at most meetings on
pacing days was morally certain to fall
off notably. Now, however there are
probably ten PAGERS to four trotters in
the field, and so many promising young
horses are being trained to the pacing
gait as almost to warrant the prophecy
that the days OF the trotter in speed
contests are practically numbered. This
will be emphasized by the managers OF
the national horse show next fall, when
prizes for PAGERS will be offered for the
first time at the exhibition in Madison
Square Garden, New York.
This state of affairs has been largely
brought about by the recent achieve
ments of such PAGERS as Star Pointer,
the fastest horse In the world, with a
record of 1:59h; John r. Gentry. Joe
Patchen and Robert j. or these horses
1t may be announced as probable that
Star Pointer, before whom all colors
were last year lowered, will this year
appear in exhibitions only. while the
others will make such a free for all
PAGERS class as the world has never
seen before.
Concerning John r. Gentry and Joe
Patchen, IL Is held by most good judges
that they will lead everything during
the coming season. with the advantage
decidedly in favor of the former. In
deed there seems to be little doubt
that Gentry possesses greater speed
potentialities than any other horse now
living and that with good handling he
may yet equal and perhaps even out
strip Star Pointer. the king of the turf.
himself.

tracks at Detroit. Cleveland. Columbus.

OF INTEREST TO CYCLISTS.

A curious effect OF hard cycling Is re-
ported from France. Out OF the last
batch of conscripts no fewer than eight
widely known cyclists were rejected as
being physically incapable of military
duty. Diseases OK the heart were the
chief reasons for their rejection. This
causes profound astonishment, all class
es thinking them at least fit to be ac-
cepted as military cyclists.
1T is injurious to drink strong stim-
ulants when cycling, as, although they
may appear to recuperate ones system.
the effect is only temporary, and the
after results are more than corre-
spending, depression. The real reason
why strong stimulants are injurious
when cycling is that the liquid passes
from the body in perspiration, ETC.,
leaving behind ii merely the alcohol.
BY strong stimulants are meant. of
course. spirits of all kinds. heavy wines
and beers, etc." says a physician.
1t is a great mistake not to get your
handle bars in such a position that you
are perfectly comfortable. Every rider
has a different stretch of arm. and as
a consequence the handle bar may be
If too high. the rider will feel that he
has not perfect control over the ma
chine, while If too low the weight of
the body is thrown on the arms, and
the result Is that riding becomes
misery. For many people the handle
ends should preferably be an inch or so
above the level OF the saddle.
An illustration of how expensive Is
ignorance is given by cycle dealer,
who says that he has frequently had
men and women bring their wheels to
him with the complaint that the ma
chimes were running hard and they
could not tell what was the matter.

nothing in the world was the matter

with dirt that had become so gummy

Demand For Pacemakers.

Since the paced racing game has been
the go in cycling circles the services OF
pacemakers have been in demand. Dur
ing the past year a number OF amateur
riders have turned pro" drawn a reg
ular salary as members OF pacemaking
teams for some star like Michael. Lesna
or McDuffie and have raced occasions
ally in the open and pacemakers handi-
caps.
This season the demand for pacemak-
ers is large. There are at least three
tracks in New England that will have
fair sized pacing teams. In consequences
OF this the demand for racing talent to
man the big machines is fairly good
locally
The life of these pacing men is not a
very hard one.
They are required to show up at the
track at regular hours each day have
to ride for training both morning and
afternoon and then have the rest Of
the day to themselves. They live at the
training table and are healthy lot OF
men. The pay varies from $40 to SIS
ger week, the latter figure being the

Origin Of Name Colts"

How many people know how the name
of Colts came to be applied to the
Chicago baseball team? Tom Burns ex-
planned this in the course OF REM
iniscences on spring practice seasons.
1t was years ago at Hot Springs. When
it came time to line up the players. new
and old. in two lines. the regular team
took one side, first base alone being
covered by a new player. Anson play
ed with the youngsters. The teams
were styled the "Old Horses" and AN
sons Colts" After a time the Chica-
gos became known as "Anson's Colts"
and finally as the Colts.
To the same practice season at Hot
Springs the origin of the term charley
horse" as applied to baseball can be
traced. Many who have lived in-t the
country will remember that when an
old horse is turned out to die he is dub
bed a charley horse"
Joe Quest had this in mind when he
strained his leg in practice on the chip
py, gravelly diamond at Hot Springs.
abhorred by all ball players. Some one
asked him his general symptoms, and,
thinking of his name of Colt, he said he
felt like an old charley horse" The
word soon had place in baseball lingo
as describing the ordinary strain.

color of the wood shows sand every

Then take seam for seam and butt for

decay remove Ii entirely. Whatever
calking appears sound had better be
left in place. New callxing may be put

When calking, use cotton rather than
oakum and do not drive IL too tight.
Expansion must be allowed for. 9th
erwise the calking will swell with such
force as to split the planking.
Depending on how wide the seams
are, either white lead and putty or
seam paint should be used to fill in
over the calking and to finish the seam
smoothly. The mixture of white lead
and putty will answer all purposes for
narrow seams, but wide seam can
be stopped only by seam paint. A can
OF this paint when open for few hours
will become thick and may then be
smeared like lard. Gradually the paint
will harden in the seam so that II will

Cost Of a Racing Team.

An instance of the expense incidental
to the support of a racing team is
shown by the figures of Chicago firm
which has supported team for num-
ber of years. In 1896 this firm made a
deal with some wheelmakers to carry a
team, and 10 men were hired. On an
average they received SIS a week in ad-
dition TO their hotel bills and railroad
expenses. which averaged $25 a week.
Therefore these Is men cost s525 a
week to carry, exclusive of the addi-
tional salaries and bonuses paid TO the
stars OF the team, which brought the
sum total up TO $500 a week. Thirty
weeks of this made their bill $4,000 for
the season.

This is not the case. The fleet OF this
New Jersey Athletic club has used
'turp" paint for the last FIVE years. and
In no case did 1t fail to give satisfac-
tion.
For the bottom OF the boat any one
of dozen reliable copper paints may
be used. Beware of new and untried
paints. and IL you have an eye for the
beautiful shun green paint, which con-
tains verdigris. On the cradle no boat
looks prettier than one that has
green water line. but once in the wa
ter ii looks different. Somehow the
color soon fades. Besides, verdigris Is
no better than any other paint and
not as good as some. An antifouling
paint OF some kind is necessary. how
ever both to preserve the boat and to
save the labor OF hauling out frequent-

Much difficulty is often experienced
in striking a water line. The water line
