JOCKEY F DAILY.

Jockey Larry DAILY comes Of a horseback
riding family. His father. Mike DAILY. Is =
brother OF Father BIZ DAILY. The latter
has long been famed as the best developer
of riders known to the turf world. II was
Father Rill' who developed Mclaughlin.
Garrison. Isaac Murphy. Danny Naher.
Winnie O'Connor and a host OF other crack
riders. The old man believes In their I'M
.tinted use of the CAD and never spares the
jockey. II is a singular fact that all the
most efficien, developers Of good riders are
noted for not sparing the rod.
Larry DAILY is a very young boy. not more
than "A years old. He has been regularly
riding races for two years His brother.
Johnnie. is older, and has been rated a
very much better rider. In fact. there are
those who ray thai Johnnie Is as good q
lightweight rider as there II in the West.
Both boys are short-bodied and extremely
long of limb. Many good Judges do not like
boys with long legs
1t is a mere matter OF opinion Maher
Spencer n many other crack riders are
long-legged to a degree.
Both the DAILY boys are riding In Califor-
MIA. They like Larry's work out there. They
say he Is a conner. He rode at the Fair
Grounds last fall and did not surprise
any one He liked to use a long rein and
he could not handle horses that seemed to
have heavy heads. HIS rides on his fathers

At the Turf Congress, which convenes in
February, the New England Trotting Horse
breeders Association will ask that body to
awake to the fact that this Is an age OF
Progress and that the conditions and rules
Of twenty-five years ago will not all do.
The breeders association Is the leading
race-girtng organization IN this country. and
will not allow the a~ntiquated methods of
the National association to stand in the
way Of its purpose Of pleasing the public.
At q meeting of the association several
days ago, J. Malcolm Forbes made a dec
laration in favor of shorter races.
As Il Is well known that Mr.. Forbes IS
deeply interested in all that appertains T.
the best interests of the trotting horse. his
opinions are interesting to all true sports
men. For some years Mr.. Forbes has ben
interested In everything which will prevent
laying UP OF heats and making the races
more Interesting to the public.
Mr.. Forbes was the first to suggest the
shortening OF the distance from 100 yards to
30 yards, which serves in a measure 10 make
the horses extend themselves every heat 1t
was only q year ago. at a meeting OF the
stockholders of the breeders association.
that Mr.. Forbes declared in favor of re-
fusing to accept the entries OF any ppled
horses.
So far. all the suggestions made by the
vice president Of the association have been
accepted by the other directors, ana the
distance rule was accepted by the Turf Con-
gress Of the National Trotting Association.
Now Mr.. Forbes comes forward with a new
scheme which he wishes to be given a trial

WRITTEN o THE SUNDAY EEPUBLIC.
The startling developments OF Friday in
the National League meeting at New York
WIN no doubt DO a source of much gratif-
cation to President Ban Johnson and own
ers all over the American League circuit
Not only because OF the split that is threat
enedand, in fact. one may be said to have
already taken piace-but by reason OF the
accession OF AIr. spaidins to the throne so
u%nwiuingiy vacated by Nick Young. In IN
teryiews, Spalding has said that he Will
meet tho American League ha,f way in re-
gotiating for peace Spalding is a business
man, and during his former baseball days
was known a a man OF much character.
With him the National League will not con-
tinue under a warering policy. 1t will be
war or peacAone or the other must result.
While the news Of the election Of Spaldins
was not unexpected, the manner IN which
1t was accomplished bordered on the SEN
sational. At this writing the part Frank
De HasS Robson took In the meeting is
not easily explained. According TO. reports
from New York. Mr.. Robson ~frtt-sus-
gested Epalding's name nearly a year ago.
When he left for New York he was pre-
sumably in favor OF Spaiding. When the
final showdown anne he was classed in

It Is not easily believed that Mess-s.
Freedman, Robson, Brush and Soden will
give up the fight. They retired from the
meeting after the twenty-fif;h ballot had
been taken. but this hardly means that they
have thrown UP their hands The four are

not raised, they Will in all probability do so.

STRUCTURE.

Structure is the formation Of scar tissue anywhere in the urethral
canal. Anything that will cause a violent inflammation Of the urethra
with destruction of tissue is very apt to produce structure in either
mild or aggravated form. 1t is sometimes caused by falling astride
of sharp, hard substances like the edge of a board; but as stated
above, anything that will produce an Inflammation may cause strlc-
tue, though the most frequent cause is neglected or badly treated
gonorrhoea and may be situated anywhere between the meatus mouth
of penis and prostate gland.
gonorrhoea there is almost invariably 4 gleety condition present.
thra, especially of mornings. just after arising. There is usually
some pain behind the structure at the time of urinatiOn and the blad-
der requires emptying at short intervals. The stream is altered in
form, sometimes fattened, twisted or forked, or the structure may be
SO pronounced that only a dribbling of urine takes place. There are
frequent pains in the loins and back and the straining in bad cases
may produce piles or polapsus of the reetum.
Besides the local symptoms of structure there is usually disorder
of the digestive organs followed by the consequences of impaired nu-
triton. The patient loses flesh and presents a carewOrn expression
and frequently after violent straining or the introduction of improper
remedies into the urethra. "urethral chiHs and fever supervene.
The chief sign of simple structure, hcwever, is diminutiOn in the
size of the stream.
In treating structure 1 have long since discarded the sound as
we'll as the knife and equally futile system of electrOlysis.
1t matters not how long you have suffered from Structure, or how
many different doctors have disappointed you, 1 will cure you just as
or dilating. My treatment is entirely original with me and perfectly
painless. 1t completely dissolves the structure and permanently re.
moves every obstruction of the urinary passage. 1t stops every IN
natural discharge, allays all inflammation, reduces the prostate gland
when enlarged, ceanses the bladder and kidneys, invigorates the sex
ual organs and restores health and soundness to every part Of the
body affected by the disease.
