The Horses of Manila.
llace cumming. In the Century.


Among the first things to impress a
stranger the horses. Descended from
horses brought from Mexico, they have be-
come much smaller, while they are also
much more shapely. In fact. / have never
seen a better-looking breed. There is moth
ing of the pony about their shape. though
in size they range between forty-eight and
fifty-two inches. At first II looked absurd to
see them ridden by big men whose stirrups
hung down to the horses knees but l soon
found out that they easily carried a rider
weighing two hundred pounds. The foreign
ers have a jockey club. which holds two
meetings year at the beautiful turf track
at Santa Mesa. To avoid sharp practice,
members of the club only are eligible to
ride. This necessitates a scale of weights
starting at 1872 pounds and rising to 1874
pounds 1t demonstrates the speed and
strength of these miniature horses that a
mile has been run in two minutes and ten
seconds by a pony carrying $50 pounds ONLY
stations are used. Mares cannot even be
brought into the city. Nobody walks: every
body rides: and on any special fiesta thou
sands OF carriages fill the streets. doubt IL
there is city In, the world that can turn
out half the number of private vehicles in
proportion TO the population.

Major Taylor, the Indianapolis colored
rider, is just now the subject of much con-
Germ by the rest of the riders on the circuit.
The secret of it all is, ne is dangerous. The
form he has been displaying is higher than
that Of any of the other riders and up to
date he has beaten all the riders he has
been matched against, with the exception OF
Stevens. The list of his victims includes
Bald, Cooper, Gardner and French Tay-
lore. He is now under the management OF
Billy Brady, of theatrical and pugilistic
fame. and has so far gained the condolences
of his hacker that he has offered to wager
$500 on his ability to beat any of the big
refusal of the riders to ride against Taylor
at Wilkesbarre on account of his color He
had been invited by the club officials to
compete in the invitation race, but was later
told he would not be allowed to ride Still
later he was told he could start. but as his
feelings had been hurt, he refused to accept
the invitation. His manager, thoroughly
vexed, then offered to match him against
the winner of the race for from $500 upward.
Since joining the circuit he has been re-,
ceived by the public with enthusiasm wher-
ever he has appeared. When he arrives in
this city he will be given an ovation which
will be a record-breaker in the colored coll
ony The Herculean Club has arranged for
a banquet to be followed by ball Monday
night. On this occasion Taylor will be pre-
scented with $50 golf medal, which has been
already made for him by a local jeWeler.

L. A. w. FLYERS ARRIVING
A STRING OF THE CIRCUIT CHAsERs
IN YESTERDAY.
Most of Them I'm Favor of Buffalo for
the 1899 Event-Bicy-
Gle Notes.

Another delegation OF fast men arrived
for the L. A w national event yesterday
from the Buffalo meet. Among them are
Eddie Bald and his trainer. Doc Morrow.
Bald has recently broken with his old train
er, Pat" Mcdonald, because OF his die.
tatorial ways in handling him. Pat" was
a stickler for strict attention to business,
and had temper too much like Eddie's for
the two to ever agree for any length Of
time. While it is conceded he has lost a
good man in Mcdonald, he is nevertheless
riding in improved form, and the members
of the Buffalo Club who saw his work dur
ing the meet just closed pick him for the
winner Of the championship this year. Last
year Bald had things pretty much his own
way, but this year the crop of fast ones has
set a pace which taxes his abilities, and he
is now attending rigidly to his business. His
race Tuesday night at Buffalo stamped hins
as being as good as ever.
Along with Bald came II. p Freeman, q
big Oregonian, who has been the sensation
of the year. Tuesday night he rode second
to Bald in bruising finish at Buffalo. Free
man, with E. S. Akers, an Indianapolis boys
f. A. Mcfarland and o. L. Stevens form the
Tribune team, and all arrived yesterday
in party. Otto Mayo, of Erie, and Ed
WdlSns OF Boston, tne white myers also
arrived in charge of Charles A. Ward, who.
in addition to managing the Tribune team,
has charge of the racing association trans
portation. Ward was formerly resident
of this city, and brought out several good
men during his stay here. Marshall (aIias
Mallory Taylor colored rider of this
city, will arrive here Sunday from Chicago.
along with Tom Cooper, who is resting at
his home at Detroit. re
All the racers to a man are pulling for
Buffalo to secure the meet for next year.
The treatment they received there and the
way the association carried on the races
for their benefit has served to make them
all feel kindly toward the town at the foot
of Lake Erie. In addition to this Buffalo
has done more for the sprinters than any
other place. During the meet just ended the
association furnished five sprint races, while
at the Boston meet only one found place
on the card. The Eastern men all seem to
be figuring the middle-distance races
and pay little attention to the sprinters.
This is running the game of these men. ana
they naturally like to get into the West,
where the mile is still the standard. and the
sprinter ranks with the long-distance men in
the favors of the association.

National Track Association Team
VIII Come.

The National Track Association team is
to come to Newly Oval. This statement
was made authoritatively last night. For
some time the matter has been in doubt.
the purse offered by the local promoters
was considered too low. A. c. Newly has.
however. determined to have middle-dis-
lance race during the meet. and to this end
increased the original offer for the attrac-
ton. The original offer was $1,000 and the
men to be included in the deal were Linton.
McDuffie and Taylore, paced by a quad.
two tripets and three tandems. While as
yet the purse to be given the team has not
been decided on 1t is said authoritatively
the team viii be here. The price asked was
$500, but a compromise will probably be
reached finally at $780, $1,000 of which will
go to the loser. The expense of bringing
the team here will aggregate that amount,
and the riders will not come unless the size
of the losers purse will cover the expenses.
The contestants in the race will probably
be Taylore and Linton, as McDuffie and
Linton are matched to race in a few weeks
at Philadelphia.

Russia, Germany or any other power, for the
sake of shutting out the commerce of the

HAGERSTOWN, Ind, Aug. 3.-The an
nual meeting of the old settlers of Wayne
AID Randolph counties was held yesterday
at Osborne Park, near Economy. Many of
the utensils and implements that were in
use in the olden times were on exhibition
The age of some of the articles was known
to be over $50 years. Nearly every kind of
primitive farming implement known was
shown, from the wooden pillow to the wooden
pitchfork. The collection of old-style cook
ing utensils was very complete. One utensil
was shown which, it was claimed, but few
of the present generation had ever seen, a
tin reflector for baking pies and cakes. The
pie was placed between the reflector and
the fire, and the tin, by radiating the heat,
finally baked the pie The old method of
cooking with the old utensils was demon
strated by gray-haired women dressed in
the old-fashioned way and initiating the
manners of the olden times. Corn pones and
Johnny cakes were baked in the presence
of the people, who were invited to compare
the quality of the cooking with that of to-
day. The crowd obeyed with rush and
pronounced the old style the best. There
were five thousand people present.
