His Importance, and the Way He
Gains 1t in Modern Sports.

Gains 1t in Modern Sports.
From the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
The jockey Is an important creature.
There are plenty of men that can ride
horses; there are even a respectable num-
Der that can race them with judgment,
but owing to the custom that has grown
up of racing horses under weights they
would have to carry in ordinary work,
the number of men that can ride and race
horses at the weight called for by the
Handicapped is very small. In horse rae
ing the thing desired Is extreme speed,
and evidently with ninety pounds up a
horse can do far better than with $50;
hence no race horse on the fiat is required
to carry the weight of an average man.
This state of affairs gives to midgets like
Tod Sloan and Maher an importance they
would have in no other way, and is per-
haps natures way of compensating them
for their inferiority in size to the ordinary
man.
A really successful jockey, as every one
knows, can almost command his own
price. Besides his regular salary, which
would pay those of several college pro
fessors, he is likely to receive gifts of
several times the amount OF his salary
after any winning race. When an owner
has won a small fortune, on a few sec
onds work Of Jockey and horse, he is in
an expansive mood, when the world looks
large and seems TO be mostly in his own
pocket The successful jockey has there
fore a chance to earn a competency as
well as much short-lived fame, If he be
honest-but his honesty, unlike mans
innocence before the law, has to be prov
ed. rather than taken for granted unless
disproved His opportunities and tempta-
lions for dishonesty are very great, and
neither his breeding nor his education
usually leads TO tho greatest moral devel-
opment
IL an owner after a successful race is
willing to give his jockey a good bit of
money. a bookmaker before a race, to in
sure large winnings to himself. is willing
to be even more liberal with a jockey
omen to inducements. And not only jock
eys. but starters, can be manipulated so as
To alter the results of races. And the
more easily that while winning a race is
very difficult, losing one is comparatively
simple. Horse racing presents a curious
circle. II cannot be made to pay without
betting: betting leads to all kinds of crook
edness. and crookedness kills racing. In
england they seem TO have Outlived our
stage of the game where alternate waves
If disgust and Of reform sweep over rae
Ing. In England racing has a social stand
ing il has not attained here. Perhaps the
larger leisure class there has led to a bet
Ter and more independent sort of men to
take IN horse racing, one not in it for
nrodt alone. and not to be bullled by those
that are.

Inc local shipbrokers are also interested
IN the commissioners decision, as the
understanding of the act which has pre-
Valled heretofore worked a hardship upon
them. Their charters being made upon
inns size they are required to affix the
revenue stamps in each instance
1t as not likely that the foreign shin
owners will readily submit to having the
burden placed upon them, and for this
reason the question may become a subject
Tor international consideration. Mr. James
RANKIN, the vice consul at Savannah for
Sweden and Norway, has forwarded a
statement of the question, together with
a copy of Capt. Purses argument before
the collector to his consul at New York.
and the understanding is that the latter
will take the matter up with the minister
for Sweden and Norway III Washington
This question, which begun in a small
way at Savannah, is likely to grow TO large
proportions, as it is probable that the ship
pers at all the American ports have
pursued the same policy as has been pur-
sued at Savannah, having their charters
made abroad in order to avoid the payment
of the tax. The representatives OF foreign
governments at Washington may contend
that the enforcement of this act against
OAClSH Ni4dllSl pdt lies, WHICH nave d.
ready been stamped in the countries in
which they are made, amounts to ton
mage tax. An effort was made to include
such tax in the war revenue act but the
section was omitted upon protest of the
foreign ambassadors, who, held that 1t
was contrary 10 existing treaties.
At Capt. Purses request Collector Ruck-
er has agreed to refer the question to the
commissioner at Washington for decision
as to which duplicate Of the charter is
liable to the stamp tax, and also as to
the question, of penalty and the further
question as to whether the decision of the

MODERN PYRAMID.
Memphis, Tenn, Proposes to Live
Up to Her Egyptian
Name

A plan isproposed at Memphis, Tenn,
to erect public building in the novel
form of pyramid. The Commercial
Appeal says that if the present plan is
carried out the building will he so feet
high, have about the same dimensions
at the base, and running up to a tip,
in pyramid form. These dimensions
will give the building a seating capac-
ity of probably $4,000. The scheme is
to use the building for any purpose that
will promote the interest of the city
commercially or in any other substan-
tial way. The character of the enter.
tainments will vary according to the
public demand. Fall displays will be
given, and there will be an extensive
show of things that help to make Mem
phis great commercial center, the
substantial things that can be found
in the lumber yard and the manufac-
tory, and other places where useful
things are made. Dog shows, chicken
shows, skating on ice, grand balls, OPP
eras, and other things to- amuse and
instruct the people generally with rel
erence to the diversity of things in this
section of the country, will be put on
whenever there is a demand for Euch
things.

MADE GOOD IMPRESSION.
Effect of the Trip of the Gunboat Wil-
iningt0n Up the OrinOcO River
on Venexuelans.

United States Minister Loomis, at
ment an account of the trip made by the
United States steamship Wilmington
up the Orinoco and along the north
coast of Venezuela, in which he says
that the Wilmington made strong and
agreeable impression wherever she
touched in Venezuela. 1.-THE splendid
condition and appearance of the men
and the boat" he said, never failed
to call forth praise from those who saw
them. AS result of the trip, think
it will be found that American prestige
has been substantially augmented and
the idea Of American power and re-
sources, vitalized by the war, enormous
ly deepened and videned. Practical
results are coming, too, in the way OF
increased commerce with the United
States, and if our merchants and manu-
facturers will take advantage OF, the fa-
vorable conditions that have been Gre
ated for them they ought to profit very
largely"
Minister Loomis impressed the native
officials deeply by causing the Whining
tons machine guns to be fired whenever
any of the army officers came aboard.
The result was the forwarding of sever
al orders to the United States for simi-
lar weapons. The captain of the Will
mington caused a chart to be made OF
the river as far up as Ciudad Bolivar,
there being none in existence before.
