TO FEED THE POOR.
One Hundred Thousand of Them Will BE

1t is stated that throughout the
United States $4,000 poor were treated
TO a substantial free Christmas dinner

Christmas tables this year.. One corps
in a city of our land on Christmas day
of last year sent out 237 baskets, each
containing a bona fide dinner for a fam
lily. Another corps i'm the same city
gave dinners at It's hall to which more
than 1900 impoverished men, women
and children sat down, and for one day
at least in that hard winter the Door OF
a city were satisfied and were made to
rejoice.
IL has now been decided that the free
dinner arranged by the army in this
city will be served in the vacant store,
No. 223 North Main street. on Monday
next from . to :. p. IN. Tickets for the
dinner have been printed and will be
put in the hancs Of the ministers OF the

The following, from the San Francis
co Bulletin. would indicate that racing
on the coast needs Lexowing:
Turf scandals are all alike-at least
turf scandals which have their origin
in California. The owner always bets
on his horse. The jockey never took

never heard of such a thing as a dea

block. i'm loud language proclaim that
mis- next-door neighbor has a corpse on

bookmaker an hour later before a body
of stewards and he will solemnly as
sort that everything is serene: that no
bookmaker Is in collision with the
jockeys. In point of fact the bookmak-
er is as two-sided as a hemlock plank.
The Gouin-C scandal is a Ease
in point. Before the race bookmakers
were bowling about a funeral process
sion; after. 1t was the c~leanest booking
race on record. As to the principals of
the crime they are saying little. The
Jockey says If the judges keep him
down 100 years he can throw nc light
on the affair. He mentions that Cam
eron asked him TO take one back in
Canada years ago, but says nothing
about crookedness of late. Cameron Is
mute beyond the statement that he lost
heavily on May w. the day when she
was not in the swim. Like all other

II is a matter of some speculation
where next years 4-year-olds are to
come from, and IL seems that If a j.
year-old is ever to win the Brooklyn
handicap, next year is his time. Thu
past seasons 3-year-old colts were a
negative quantity. The only one who
showed any real class was Hamburg.
and Marcus DAILY retired him forth
with TO his Bitter Root farm. None OF
the other 3-year-olds campaigned in
the East amounted to much. Previous
was a great disappointment. but may
possibly develop into a better 4-year-
old. The Western 3-year-olds were a
ragged lot. Lieber Karl was heralded
in the early spring as a wonder. but
Plaudit put an end to his ~pretensions.
Then. when all sorts of encomiums
were being showered on Plaudit, Han
dor, a very ordinary sort of n colt.
came along n quenched his fame OF
glory. Plaudi was then brought TO ST.
Louis. where Pink Coat another colt
of only fair p~retensions, galloped over
him. Plaudit was then taken East and
started i'm the Realization. and Mr..
Whitney bought him at a very high
price after he had run only an ordin-
airy race in pursuit of Hamburg. Ana
Plaudit was far and away the best OF
the Western 3-year-olds. There were
some very fair 2-year-olds raced in the
past season. srch as Martimas. Alpen.
