surOlllng This became too
arduous FOR his feeble strength, and he
ar1ted among the Thoroughbred horses.
In 1885, Cash" Sloan suggested to his
little brother Tod that he meet him in
st. Louis. When Toe arrived Cash se-
cured him employment as an exercise
boy with a stable located at the fair
grounds. For three or four years he
drifted around from one stable to an
other. till he located with Charley john
son In Pueblo. Col. Johnson had the fast
Splinter Jim Douglas at the time. and
Tod was put on him. The first time Jim
Douglas felt Sloan IN his back he walk
ed over to a I'D puddle. bumped his back
and threw his mite Of a rider into the
slime. But Tod prevailed and soon won
The friendship Of he horse.
After that Sloan drifted nto the en-
ploy Of Johnny Campbell, trainer for the
B~everwyck stable. Campbell gave him
his first mount in a race on Lovelace.
The latter was a vicious brute, and
Starter Caldwell gave Campbell a piece
of his mind for putting up such a baby
on a brute like that" Lovelace failed
to get any part Of the money.
It was during this period of his career
as a jockey that Sloan was suspended by
the judges of a racetrack for incom-
potency.
Now that he has proved his ability in
the saddle on both sides OF the Atlantic
and won fame among old experienced
English riders. thic act of the stewards
proves that Sloan has improved in his
calling over 100 per cent in a few years.
Sloan was not in great demand as a
Jockey at first. Indeed, he had a hard
struggle to make both ends meet. Just
as he was becoming discouraged he
drifted out to California. Unknown
practically, he did not secure employ
ment quickly. What little money he had
gave out. Desperate, he made an appeal
through a friend for assistance to Mil
lionaire Jim" Flood. Flood stood the
trick" n gave up a $50 gold piece.
From that tim on Sloan p~rospered.
George Rose, the boOkmaker, had a good
lot Of horses at the time and he got Tod
to ride them. He rode many a winner
and came east.
Success attended him from the first.
He rode winner after winner So success
full was he that his enemies claimed he
had an electric battery under his shirt
n in his saddle. An investigation
proved this a fabrication. His style OF
crouching on the horse while riding and
carrying the weight on the shoulders
instead of the back was responsible in
large part for his improvement over his
rivals.
1t is now an old story how Sloan went
over to England and won fame n for
tune in the saddle there. He overcame
1.-THE prejudice of centuries and made his
early detractors admit that he was a
great rider. Instead of derision IN every
side he was met with approval. English

ton of Lopez & Son, in place of their
great crackajack, Whitehead. who lie
last week after a severe course. Colone!
Lopez was bred by Lopez & Son, and is
by TwiSter, out of Camilla, she by
Waratah-White Cloud. The dog showed
great form here the latter part of the
season, and has already started once in
San Francisco, winning W courses
in brilliant style, but was then drawn.
as it was thought that he had not quite
recovered from his journey. The stake
is to be run Oct. 20 and q at Union
Coursing Park.
The death Of Whitehead was a great
loss to Colonel r. E. de b. Lopez. OF
Pleasanton, who is we'll known to Mon
tana coursing men. The dog was only
a little more than two years old. but had
won fourteen stakes, run we'll up in many
others, and la admitted to be n Of
the best g~reyhounds in America. When
the hares were running well he was per-
haps absolutely the best, as his forte
was staying and repeating. 1t was not
so difficult for a good dog to beat him
the first course OF two, but after they
had three or four courses apiece it was

over a year of coursing amounted to
nearly $1,000. Colonel Lopez refused

Imp. Waratah-Lfttle Wonder.

sitter imported this dog from England at
a cost of about $500, and won eight
stakes with. him in a short time. h
dog broke a toe in a trial some time ago.

Ladies' Day Champion stake, in which
they intended running him last June,
and last week. broke it again in a trial
with Imp. Fiery Face, it being intended
to run him in the John Grace cup.

THE DIAMOND

With the approaching finish of the base
ball season every one is anxious to know
just who the leaders of the various de-
partments are. The positions of the
pitchers n catchers are what interest
the fans the most. Who would make the
best battery? That is a question which
seems rather hard to solve. Even when
President Young issues his official list Of
figures it will hardly be settled.

hounds, many of them of the most fash
breeding, n all that is needed
is a small addition to the number of dos
owners and a slight extension of the in
tereSt, since the Present patrons are
very nearly enough to make it a success.
There is SO little amusement in Butte

There is no form of competition to free
from Objectionable features. AS a sports
man once said: There is no Jockey to
pull the dogs, and you can't fix it with
the hare!"
Coursing fixtures in California are be-
coming of greater value every year. Only
q few years ago a puppy stake in which
a winner got 5000 was considered a good
one, and in the John Grace cup, or the
annual big stake at MERGED, $500 to the
winner was unusually large. Last year
the Interstate Coursing club inaugu-
rated the Califurnia Futurity. which is
to be an annual stake, open t puppies
whelped since Jan. 1, 1899. Some 23O or
more were listed. n 17S made the first
payment of $3.50; 124 made the second
payment of a like amount, and there
were SO starters. The total amount of
entrance fees was 81. 446. to which the
club added 1854, making the total purse
$4,000, of which 81, 14O vent to the winner,
$3.50 to the runner-up, $240 to third, 800
each to next three, $50 each to next six,
and to winners of two courses $25 each.
Also a special prize of SIS each went to
the breeder of the winner and of the
runner-up. The stake was run at Union
Park on Saturday, Sept. s and 9, 1900.
The winner was Harlem Gladys and the
runner-up Lovina. by st. Lawrence, out
Of moonlight, bred and owned by Mr..
F. Jones, Of San Francisco, so Mr.. Jones
had the satisfaction of taking home
81. 500. The third dog was First Foot,
by st. Clair, out Of Russall's Nancy,
bred and owned by Russell Wilson
Allen, of Chicago. 1t is OF interest to

The John Grace cup for this year is
also very much increased in value. 1t is
limited to GA all-aged dogs at $50 en-
trance each, to which the club adds
s.. 400, making the total value $500, of
which $1,000 goes to the winner, 500 to
the runner-up, $500 each to the next two,
5000 each to the next four, 500 each to
the next eight, winners of one course
to a V their stake. There is also a con-
ISOLATION purse of $1,000 for the dogs
beaten in the first round of the cup,
which will be divided in about the same
ratio. 1t is likely that Butte will be rep

HARE AND HOUNDS

J. H. Rossiter made a swell bet with
an English bookmaker last spring. He
bet $500 against SOS, 900 tina an Ameri-
can-bred greyhound would win the En-
Elish Waterloo cup within five years.
This is the classic event for greyhounds
in England, and has been run annually
since 1885. 1t is limited to % guineas
each. with 800 guineas added, amounting
in all to about $40, 700. AS there are
about 5000 g~reyhounds registered in
England every year, against about 400
in the United States. and the English
dogs are on the average about three
times as we'll bred as the American dogs,
the English bookmaker is probably safe
nm betting so to / on the proposition.
but Mr.. Rossiter took him up and imme-
diately bought one of the greatest sires
of England and four or five r~oyally-bred
bitches, which, with h he had al
ready, gives him a good chanc to breed
something great, added to which he is not
limited to his. own kennel, but can run
any A~merican-bred dog or dogs. The
dog he bought is Fortuna Favente, who
ran up for the English Waterloo cup in
1885, and his full brother won it the next
year. Fortuna Favente also sired the
runner-up in 1899. Among the bitches is
Fiery Face, litter sister to Fearless Foot
steps, this years winner. who is by Fab
uious Fortune, brother to Fortuna Fa-
vente and the Waterloo cup winner OF
1886.
Judge JOIN Grace of San Francisco
recently presented to G. H. Macdougall
the great bitch Nellie Conroy, who won
the John Grace cup in 1894, and many
either good stakes. She is by Imp. Royal
Crest-Daisy II. She will be bred to Mr..
Macdougall's grand young dog Bonnie
Crawford, who is by Crawford Lad-Car-
men. Crawford a. is by Falconer, who
ran up for the English Waterloo cup in
1894, and sired the dividers of the Water
loo purse in 1898 Zone of which was own
sister to Crawford Lad), also the winner
of the Waterloo purse in 1899. Carmen
is dam of a host of winners, n was a
good winner herself. A brother to Bon
ME Crawford, Crawford Rex, ran into
the last twelve in the California Futurity
and might have Won it but for an old in
jury to his shoulder getting sore and
stopping him. The puppies of this cross
will probably not come until after an
uary l, which will make them eligible
for the California Futurity of 1902.

Wall street, Sept 5.-There was
snappy opening in the stock market this
morning. such wholesome. cheerful
sort OF a showing as the market hasn't
seen for months.
The Increased dividend on Sugar. IN per
cent. quarterly. and the news from YER
mont were the factors that prompted a
big demand and created buoyant figures
in almost every class OF stocks.
The dividend on Sugar pays to the COM
mon stock the same per cent that is paid
on the preferred. per cent. IL was not
much of an increase. not as much as was
expected In quarters that have been hint
ing that the common stock would be
placed on an eight per cent. basis. And
IL was nothing like the hopeful rumors or
a restoration to twelve per cent, which
wene sent out when Sugar was ten points
higher. But IL was something. and that
something was on the encouraging side.
