AMERICAN HORSE
IN THE DERBY,

Democrat, the horse who. by long odds,
Is the American favorite for the coming
English Derby, is certainly one of the
most promising youngsters that have yet
been entered for the classic turf event.
Not only h he already a a sensa-
tional career, having been generally rec
ognized as he best 2-year-old of last
year. but today there are many good
English sporting men who believe that
he stands as good a chance as Forfar-
shire, the other favorite, to carry Off the
honors in the blue ribbon events of the
English racing world.
An examination Of the record of Demo-
Gratis performances last veal will prove
beyond dispute that he was clearly en-
titled to the credit Of being regarded as
one of the best, If not the very best, 2.
year-olds of 1899. Thost who have fol-
lowed his work know that he was not
himself in the early part of the season.
AS the result. he made but an ordinary
appearance at his first three starts:
whereas. later in the season he easily de-
feated sucAg horses as Emerson and
ODonoan Rosa, all of whom had bested
him at the earlier events.
In fact, 1t was actually not until the
Ascot meeting hat Democrat began to
be himself, but at the Coventry stakes he
commenced that series of victories that
was broken only once before the close of
the season, this occasion being his defeat
by FOrfarshire. Among his great vic.
tories We're the Hurst Park Foal plates
at six furlongs. the National Breeders
stakes at a furlongs, the Champagne
stakes at five furlongs and 152 yards, the
Rous Memorial at five furlongs, and the
Dewhurst plate at seven %furlongs, In
these events the least weight, carried by
him was f26 pounds, while the highest
was 1876 pounds.
A BAD RACE.
As has already been stated, Forfar-
shire beat Democrat in the Imperial

MISS CLERK.

One wet spring morning, for the first
and last time in his life. Farmer Hirst
walked into Miss Ashley's millinery shop
and lefta trail of muddy footprints on the
hnoleum. Kitty Regain was gingerly
trying to crowd a big hat into a very
small box.
Good morning, sir" said Kitty. what
may I have the pleasure of showing
you?"
Il want a yard of blue ribbon" grunt-
ed the farmer
You will find the ribbon counter next
to the door. sir. Walk straight down, and
Miss Ashley will attend to YOU"
"She won't!' said Farmer Hirst, short
ly. Get me my ribbon and let me 60
it'll be as good bought here as over
there"
i "As you wish. sir" aid Kitty, IT will
let you have it in half a minute"
Kitty came back very smartly, and he
turned to watch her cut off the ribbon.
He wasn't a sentimental man, but the
one thing that dominated his mind lust
then was a burning desire to squeeze
those sweet, needle-pricked fingers.
Il saw you in the lane on Sunday aft
, ernoon," he said, playing with his watch
chain.

"No, SRA friend of mine. Here is
your ribbon. Shall we send it up for

Rising slowly, Farmer Hirst gathered
both ribbon and fingers into one tight
! little bunch.
.tMiss Regain" said Miss Ashley at
closing time that night, II wish + could
think your wages had been we'll earned.
This is q millinery shop-not a school
for filtration"
A hot reply rushed to Kitty's lips,;a BUT
she restrained herself in time.
"silence is golden" snapped 5ms.
Ashley, annoyed by Kitty's self-controI.
Don't be in a hurry to 90, Miss Reean.
There b q parcel which I want you to
take up to Mrs. Kershaw 8. I wouldn't
trouble you' only I've sent the boy
It was a cruel errand on such a night.
for Mrs. Kershaw's house was nearlystwo
miles across country, and a high wind
wal making havoc Of the tree and hed9ss,
But Kitty went or without = word ,of
protest.
When she arrived a. her destination
her breath was n and her limbs were
weary with the unequal battle against
the merciIess wind.
She struggled on bravely once more
and took the short cut across Lame Dog
dyke. II
Half way home she passed Lame Dor
farm and saw that Mr.. Hirst was huSy
fixing props against. the .cOWshed1 IN tic
yard. He called out a CHEEKY ..GoodS
might" evidently not knowing who she
was. N
She answered rather shyiy. and then
blamed herself for speaking at all. h
II he should recognize her voice and want
to escort her home?
Now. this was just what Mr.. Hirst
did do. He hurried after her with ali
speed. and in her eagerness to escape him
she made q rush TOR the stepping stones

stakes at six furlongs, winning closely
by less than a head. On this occasion
Forfarshire had the advantage in weight
and Democrat was otherwise handi-
capped by being ridden by Sloan just
after he had had q bad fall. AS the re-
suit, he vas unable to do his mount jus
tice and the American gelding was de-
feated. At the National Breeders Pro-
duce stakes, however, Democrat defeat
ed Forfarshire easily, although the latter
was given an advantage of nine pounds
In the weight.
Naturally, under such circumstances,
the friends of the American claimant
have full confidence in his ability to win
out against Forfarshire, and it is quite
generally believed that he will win the
Derby unless he is debarred from the
event on tn ground that he is Il geld
ing.
1t is believed. however, that the Eng
lish Jockey club will not take this means

A minute later they were blowing down

past the old toll bar, and into the green
country lanes.
Fol- a long. long time neither spoke.
Ihen, as an afterthought, Farmer Hirst
dropped one rein and passed his arm
arounu Kitty's slim waist.

She blushed a hot blush, and for the

Roberts Was 0uSted by
Vote of the House.
CASE FINALLY DECIDED
The Motion to Exclude Him Was Sup
ported by "a Of the Members
While 50 of Them Voted to Allow
Him to be Seated,

Washington, Jan. 25.-The case of
Brigham H.. Roberts, the Mormon repre-
sen%tative-elect from Utah, which has oc-
cupied SO much of the attention of the
house since the assembling of congress.
was decided today by the adoption Of a
resolution to exclude him by a vote of
268 to SO.
The exact language Of the resolution
was as follows:
THAT under the facts and circum-
stances of the case Brigham H. Roberts.
representative-elect from the state OF
Utah ought not to have or hold a e
in the house of representatives, and that
the seat to which he was elected is hereby
declared vacant"
The amendment to expel Mr.. Roberts
without seating him, offered by Mr..
Lacey. was ruled out on a point of order
and the house only voted on the resolu-
lions of the majority and the minority
OF the committee. The latter-to seat
and then expel Mr.. Roberts-was defeat
ed 81 to 244. An analysis of this vote
shows that 40 republicans. ~ democrats
and 2 populists voted against 1t, n II
democrats, 6 republicans, 2 populists and
2 silver republicans for it.
The majority resOlutions-to exclude
Mr.. Roberts n declare the seat vacant
were adopted, 26S to SO. The affirma-
tive. vote was divided as follows: Re-
p%ublicans, 1858; democrats. 80; populists.
IA. and the negative vote: Democrats, AZ;
silver republicans, 2; populists, 1. There
were over a score of speakers today and
the closing speeches on each side were
particularly able.
Mr.. Lanahan Of Texas closed for the
majority and Mr.. De Almond Of Missouri
for the minority.
MIR. Roberts vas present throughout
the day and left the hall after the result
OF the vote had been announced. AS he
did so he gave out a statement justifying
his retention of his plural wives on the
ground that his moral obligation was
more binding upon his conscience than
technical obedience to statutory laws,
and saying that there was little excuse
FOR the extraordinary efforts to crush q
system already abandoned and practi-
cally dead. He said he was a martyr to
q "spasm Of prejudice" He would not,
he said. attempt to run for congress
again. although he would 60 back home
with a light heart, confident Of the
future.

nave already permitted him to appear in
the Champagne stakes, an event That is
run under exactly similar conditions.
II IS held that If the club desires to pre-
n the Derby being won by a geldinp a

the entering or running of a gelding for
the Derby OF any other classic event.
u that. until such a regulation is aaopt,
ca. the entrance of Democrat or of any
valid. W.
AT no time have the American racing
men taken as much interest in the Derby
as they have shown this year, for to them
democrat lisa n American horse, and a
victory on his part will be a victory for
the American breeder. AS to the breed
ing OF this little horse, from an Ameri-
can point Of view, none could be better.
although some English critics insist lpon
the opinion that the sons of Sensation
nave more speed han stamina. To horses
men on this side Of the water such an
opinion seems very strange m there is
no DOUBT that the history Of the modern
turf offers many arguments against such
a belief.
tuq A GOOD RECORD.
Both Acrobat and Hunters Lexington,
full brothers to Sensations dam, were
stayers of h best type. Moreover,
Democrat, as a son Of Sensation, traces
back to the Pantaloon and Whalebone
families. as we'll as the Glencoe, SIR
Archy and Doomed. Through Equality,
by Rayon dor, Democrat carries the
richest and most fashionable blood in the
English stud book. having a double cross
of Glencoe, a triple cross of Diomed and
q double cross Of Tombstone, fortified by
the blood of W~halebone.
Such Is the horse that will proudly con-
test for the greatest honors of the Eng
hsh turf next spring, providing his enc
mics do not succeed in having him
dropped from the list Of entries. II he
runs, therefore, he will carry the bulk of
the American dollars, SO that it is not
strange that horsemen in this country
are awaiting the outcome of the DISPUTE
with considerable anxiety.
