MR.. ~BALFOUR'S FOOZLE.

From the Philadelphia Post.
Arthur j. Balfour, leader of the
House of Com, ,:ns, is a philosopher,
student, a yearncr for a shady seat by
a quiet stream and a choice book. But
politics have forced him to the front,
and oblige him to stay in the face OF
the public, n so he sits on the front
bench in the house with his long legs
in a terrible tangle and his arms
spread all over the place.
Mr.. Balfour is always animated when
he sets foot on a golf green. He is an
enthusiastic golf player, and no golf
green in the kingdom can be looked
upon as property open unless the leader
of the house of INT has played a
| game over it.
His enthusiasm for golf was the cause
Of an amusing accident-amusing to the
pectators, that is. but most embarrass-
ing to a man of such a nervous tempera-
ment as Mr.. Balfour. He was standing
on Paddington station platform, wait
ing for a train to Windsor. In his hand
he held an umbrella, gold handled and
eXquisitely done up. AS he leaned upon
this, gazing abstractedly at the plat
form. his eye became aware of a cork
that lay on the boards.
Evidently forgetting where he, was,
Mr.. Balfour took his beautiful umbrella
in both hands, saunteren up to the cork,
struck a proper golf attitude, and made
a stroke at the cork.
Sure enough, he hit the object, send
ing 1t spinning, but unfortunately, the
tip of that umbrella snapped off and the
bulk of the article went foundering
across the line in the wake of the cork,
leaving in Mr.. Balfour's grip only the
plain end.
A look of blank amazement took
possession of the conservative leaders
face, while the crowd on the great plat
form burst into a shout of laughter.

and pro%videntially stepped into a chem
lists shop just before the cab passed.
'Then, too, the cadman. just before
reaching the crossing, thought of some
thing he had forgotten, and, turning
about, drove in the opposite direction.
Had it not been for this wonderful &C.
currence of favorable circumstances, a
doting father, a loving mother and at
f%ectionate brothers and sisters woult
have been plunged into the deepest wot
and most unutterable funeral expense"
The new reporter will be retained.

The recall flag nuisance has again
made its appearance in the opening at
the Emeryville track, near Oakland,
Cal. After a very fair start, every
horse except The Fretter started to pull
up, giving him a lead that they never
could cut down. There are some OBJ
jections to the starting gate, but it's
merits are perhaps more weighty than
it's defects. The fist season or two that
it was used in the United States 1t
worked well. and probably would do so
yet in the hands of a perfectly fair and
able starter. OF course, as time went
on. the boys learned ways to beat it,
and it certainly hampered the starter
If he wanted to give one horse the best
of it, unless he had a recall flag. Twice
on the Butte track painful exhibitions
have been given of the harm of the re-
call flag. On one occasion a bunch of
colts went off, the recall flag going up
a little slowly, and about half of them
raced it out, the rest pulling up. Those
that ran were sent back to the post i'm
mediately, the same as after ar ordi-
nary false start. During the following
season exactly the same thing occurred;
but in this instance those hat raced
it out We're allowed to go to the paddock,
while those that pulled up We're kept

1t was a nasty, raw day, too.
: If the boys were kept in proper con-
troll by the starter and were made to
walk their horses quietly up to the
barrier, ninety-nine starts out of a
hundred would be made almost per-
fectly and within a few seconds of the
time the horses reached the starting
point. But hen one rider has his horse
back seven or eight lengths, and comes
up on a run among a bunch that are
standing still or walking, it gives him
at least four lengths the best of it.. To
start. them from a fiat-feoted stand is in
favor of the quick-gaited fellows, per-

in his effort to get away but there is the
satisfaction to the spectator of knowing
that they We're even when the barrier
went up, whatever happened afterward
and that they did not break away while
strung along for a hundred yards. One
trouble is that owners will not under
stand that the race track on a racing
afternoon is not the place to break
horses to start from the barrier; the
