RARE SPORT
When Turtle Tanners Meet by the Race
Track.


Track.
Friday afternoon Mr.. g. A. StudIey
sold his PAGER Temple Hal, record 2 "a IA,
to Mr.. II. A. Sargent at private terms.
1t is understood the sale was consummat-
ed at the earnest desire OF Mr.. Studley's
mother, who is president of the William
Il. Studley Co., she being of good old
Puritan stock and having no sympathy
with anything like horse racing Mr..
Sargent was a spectator at Gorham wnen
the horses raced there one week ago last
Saturday and was one of the many
who believed as Mr.. Studley did that the
last heat was nothing more than dead
heat, and having confidence in Temple
Hals ability to lower Lucky Royss col
Ors, he paid his good money and bought
the horse, and before he had owned him
"A hours made the match and at noon
Saturday both Mr.. Sargent and Mr. Ire
fethen had deposited the full amount Of
the stakes, S400, with j. D. Randall, the
Union wharf fish dealer. The race VIII
be trOtted Saturday, September 20, at
GOrham track and Will attract even more
notice than the preceding match On-sc-
count Of the very exciting nature OF the
last scOntes5 and on account Of the fact
that this race viii be generally known
of both among hOrsemen ana business
men generally. Tt is needless to say that
Mr. StudleY Will have the same inter-
est in the outcome of the match as If he
still owned Temple Hal and would go
miles to see the horse he set SO much by,
down AIF. Irefethen S flyer. Immedi-
ateIy after the match was made word was
telephoned to Boston and Gloucester fish
dealers and it is expected a large delega-
tiOn Will arrive in the city next Satur-
day morning to take in tha race. AS soon
as the news got around the Wharves and
water 'front.' talk was being made of clos
ing Saturday afternoon to give employees
an opportunity of witnessing the match,
and by the way, when have any two
horses been brought together in these
parts in q real bOnafde match race
The writer has no recollection of any
such in the last 20 years and in fact the
last race of the sort we can call to mind
was the three -cornered sweepstakes be-
tween Tom b. Patchen, MilIinOckett and
Pilot King, 81 years ago, at old Presump-
scott park, and won by Tom b. Patchen.
1t is hoped that the example set by the
turtle tanners will be followed by others,
only we want them to be sure and not
depart from the golden rule set by the
denizens on old Commercial wharf: Put
up your long green and drive both horses
to win,

A group Of lawyers were telling
yarns at the court house recently and
the conversation drifted around to
hard luck which they had expert
enced in trials. One of them capped
the climax with the following which
arouses sympathy even for lawyer:

lawyer, excited at the mere thought
"my man came to me, said he woulC

My Dear ScOtt:-I have OF late been
very negligent in tue matter of letter
writing to friends at home because of
the press of things that had to be
done. AS you doubtless know, l
found the war practicallysover on my
arrival in Manila three weeks ago.
A large body of troops under General
Bates has recently been thrown into
the country south of Manila and the
enemy who were supposed TO be quite
strong in that region have given way
with almost no resistance.
The so-called civil government OF
the insurgents no longer exists and
Aguinaldo is a fugitive somewhere in
the mountains. His army has been
scattered like chaff and nearly all the
men who comprised it have either
surrendered their arms or thrown
them away.

us IL naturally difficult one, and we
cannot expect smooth sailing every
where, but the end of our troubles Is
clearly in sight.

These troops are scattered in detach-

each from San Fernando on the rail

pacified and all there remains for me
to do is to look after matters of adj
