Evolves its purple note.

Here Is shown the constant variation In the po-

10 apply, satisfactorily, any known scale Of bets

Sloan, Griffin, Sims and Taral In their day. With
f~avorites, handicap selections, &c. some line Of
percentage can be drawn because a certain per
centage OF win or loss must come TO the surface
and past results demonstrate what that percentage
is,but with the Jockeys there Is no line 10 be drawn.
The average meeting Of. say, eighty races shows
an average Of eight entries 10 a race, or $40 ami.

sixty Of these rnces will BE- won by about thirteen

whirls when one conten plates a system designed

GRANTS CHARGES.

From his earliest boyhood General
Grant was an expert rider, and like
Washington, he possessed mysteri-
Gus power over horses. He ridiculed
the idea that he could be thrown, so
long as the horse kept on his feet. He
asked hut one thing Of a steed, and
that was that he should SO. No Mexi-
can vaquero, Bedouin sheik or Amerl-
can cowboy had a firner seat, Or more
resembled centaur. Early in the
Mexican war Grant purchased d SUI
perb stallion that had just been cap
tured from a herd OF wild Texas
horses. He was blindfolded and
then saddled for the first time.
The young lieutenant, springing
lightly into the saddle, ordered
the blindfold removed, when the
auntamed steed bounded like bull,
reared, leaped, threw his head almost
to the ground, sprang first to the right
and then to the left In his efforts to
unseat his rider; but finding all his
efforts futile, he dashed away at ter
rife rate Of speed, soon disappearing
in the distant chaparral. General
Longstreet, who after more than half
a century recalls the incident, in let
ter to the present writer. states that
no anxiety was felt concerning Grants
safety who was then. as well as pre-
viously while a cadet at the Military
Academy, universally recognized as
an accomplished and fearless horse
man. Or Cortez, as Lieutenant Grant
named his Wild charger, he wrote In
his Personal Memoirs:
II had, however, but little difficulty
in breaking him, although the first
day there were frequent disagreements
between us as to which way we should
go, and sometimes az to whether we
should go at all. At no time during
the day could choose exactly the part
of the column would march with, but
