A JOCKEYS SENSATIONS

eff you ride with your head down
that is to say, bent slightly, so that the
wind does not beat right ON to your face
you can breathe easily, but if you hold
your mouth wide open and let the all
beat right in your face, then you will
have great difficulty in breathing, and if
the race is a long one you will become
exhausted by the end of the ride" So
said a well-known jockey when ques-
toned on the subject of what his SEN
sations were when riding in race, relates
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
"a mile race on good horse is run in
about lao.
ga mile in 40 is at the rate of So miles
an hour, SO, you see, race horse travels
at train speed.
eff you want to know how it feels to
go through the air at race horse speed,
just hang your head out of a railway
carriage window, turning your face to-
ward the way the train is travelling.
CAT the same time imagine that you
are sitting in saddle and have to hold
on to your horse and guide him on to
uictory, if possible, keeping him from
being run down or interfered with.
"It is no easy task to ride horse in a
race. The jockey must have all his wits
about him. He does not have much time
to think how he feels When riding in a
neck and neck race downthe home stretch
I forget everything except that 1 must
strain every nerve to pass the other horses,
no thought is then given to the plaudits
from the grand stand"

HARD WINTER IS COMING

"All the signs in the woods" ex-
planned an experienced woodsman to a
Washington Star reporter, point to a
very severe winter, though it may be a
short one. The squirrels have already
begun laying away their winter store of
nuts, though in the immediate country
around Washington the nuts have not
begun to fall to any great extent. The
crop of acorns, hickory and chestnuts is
unusually large this fall, some trees that
have come under my observation bearing
at least double the quantity they did last
year. This is very reliable sign of Sc
we're winter.
"Another sign is the crop of persim-
mons, which is also extra heavy. The
few frosts that we have had have not
done much to ripen the persimmon and
many of them are yet green. My obser-
vation convinces me that these signs are
entitled to some dependence, though, of
course, they are not recognized as in
fallible by the authorities on the subject.
l think have satisfied my own mind on
the bearing the persimmon has on the
weather that is to follow and that this is
incontrovertible: If the persimmon
ripens and falls early the winter will be
brief, but if it holds on to the tree late
into the fall the winter is very liable to
be late in its wind-up and severe while it
prevails The animals are preparing for
a cold winter, and there are some reasons
for believing that they know what they
are about"

FOUND DEAD ON ROCKS

While Mrs. Amos Hahn and Mrs.
Annie Gordon, of No. 905 Church street,
Wilmington, were passing the wharf at
the foot of Ninth street Sunday morn
ng they discovered the dead body of
colored man lying on pile of rocks
with the head submerged in the Brandy
wine river
Policeman Thomas Brown was notified
and made the body fast to the wharf and
sent for Coroner Vandever. Some papers
in the dead mans pockets proved him
to be Edward Harris, aged about IS years,
who resided near Newark.
From the appearance of the body
Coroner Vandever suspected foul play.
Examination revealed bruises on the
head and face, and the left thumb was
almost cut off, the wound having the
appearance of having been made by a
sharp instrument.
Coroner's Physician DR.. James A.
Draper, Jr., Monday morning held q
post-mortem examination ON the body Of
Harris. 1t was found that death was due
to drowning. An inquest will be held to.

FoRG1v1NG F1Do

The eccentric John Randolph was
very fond of dogs, and would pardon to
one of them transgression that he
would not have overlooked in man.
Randolph was fonder of his books
than of anything else save bis dogs, and
it was very unlucky thing for human
creature to damage one of the precious
volumes. One day, however, an espec-
tally promising pup got into the library,
and, pup fashion, destroyed a choice copy
of Virgil.
Randolph was very indignant until he
learned that it was a dog and not per-
son who was guilty. Then he devoted
half day to gathering up the fragments
of the classic, after which he tied them
up in a neat bundle, which he labeled:
Remains Of Virgil, destroyed by Fido
when he was pup.

BIG FIRE AT CLAYTON

Early Sunday morning fire Of a sup
posed incendiary origin destroyed th'
main building and two workshops Of St
Joseph's Industrial School for colore6
boys at Clayton. The fire companies o.
Smyrna and Clayton went into service
and managed to keep the flames from
reaching the other buildings. The fire
brsgade of theschool also worked hard
to save the other buildings. The loss is
estimated to be about $1,000.
ST. Joseph's School is Catholic insti-
tuition and one of the largest of its kind
in the country. The buildings number
fourteen in all without the farm build
ings, and form what is COM
monty known as the industrial vii
lage. The buildings are separated from
each other, but are close enough to be in
danger of catching from the structures
which were burned. In the centre of
the village is the pretty chapel, beneath
which rest the remains of the Rev. J.. A.
DeRnyter, the founder of the school.
At times it was feared the entire vii
lage would be consumed, but the fire bri
gades worked with will and succeeded
in checking the flames after three of the
buildings had been consumed. Excite
ment was intense among the officers and |
boys of the school, as they worked to
save the various structures, and there
was general feeling of relief when they |
as well.
Work of rebuilding the burned
structures will be commenced as soon as
possible, as they are needed to carry on
the work of the school, which now has
number of inmates.
