webster end the Trout.

With each increase of Webster's fame as a lawyer and an orator friends and admirers grew more and more urgent that he should once more return to public life. He did, indeed. consent to serve as presidential elector, and for ten days sat in the Massachusetts legis- lature. Many years afterward, in the course of a speech, Webster referred to this service, and told his hearers a story, quite characteristic of the man. "It so happens said he, that all the public services which I have rendered in this world, in my day and genera tion, have been connected with the gen eral government. I think l ought to make one exception. I was ten days a member of the Massachusetts legisla- ture, and turned my thoughts to the search for some good object in which I could be useful in that position; and. after much reflection, I introduced n bill which, with the general consent of both houses of the Massachusetts legis- lature, passed into law, and is now g law of the state, which enacts that no man in the state shall catch trout in any other manner than in the old way, with an ordinary hook and line."- Prof. McMaster. in Century.

"WO turf characters known ali all over the world of thorough bred horses, Edward H. (Snap- perl Garrison and Maj. Barak G. Thom- as are critically i'll. The former has a good chance on account of his youth to pull through But the veteran ma for is an octogenarian, and may saon be laid away to rest at Dixiana. the worlds most famous thoroughbred breeding farm. So long as the horses sport silk in America the names of both of these men will be associated with the greatest turf events in the history of the United States.
 Snapper Garrison is, perhaps, more of an evanescent character than the impressionable ones will admit. While I will admit that he was practically the originator of the present successful style of riding horses-the Jumped up'' style, and that he stamped his name deep on the turf annals. he squan- dered a fortune made piloting animals and partially dropped from public view by adopting the avocation of a trainer when he became too heavy to sit in the saddle. Other riders fol- i lowed Garrison's style. won and grad ually passed him in the struggle for honors. 'eTod' Sloan, Johnny" Reiff, Nash" Turner, Tommy" Burns, Dom thick, stJenkins," etc., ,,all have profited by Garrison's style. Some critics go so far as to say that had Garrison gone to England in the height of his fame as an American rider. he might have l taken to himself all of the glory that has been given to Sloan, the Reiffs, | L T a great fortune in the employ of roy atty. His fame might have been great CT than that of Fred Archer. I do not share in this rosy outlook. Garrison was primarily a creature of circum- stances, and with his limited amount of kn nowledge, "book learnin',' etc., his lack of tact. his Independence and his i disposition to handle a horse just as he himself wished, he never could have risen to place as high as Archer's.
 Garrison's most famous victory was in the Suburban of 1892, when he won with Montana. Everybody uncon- sciously talks of "Garrison finish The Snapper" could draw them fine if anybody could. Major Domo seemed to be cut out for that race. while the mighty Lamplighter was coming strong. Turning into the stretch, Mon tana was apparently beaten. It really was a grand race, and it was my gooc fortune to see it. I never did think as much of Lamplighter as the easterr fellows did--I have since seen the ami nal quit like dog-and expected tha that little bunch of nerve Major Domt would take the event.

WITH THE WHEELMEN.

Yesterday Major" Taylor, the col ored boy who is the cycling champion of America. was to have sailed for Eu- rope on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. He had received his registra- ton ticket in the N. C. A.. which was No 13, and check for S1 800, dated at Paris on February 13. both of which he considered lucky omens. It was expected that he would put in an ap- pearance at the offices of the \. C. A. on Monday afternoon. but he did not Yesterday passed and nothing was heard from him. A telephone com munication with the steamship offices elicited the information that Taylor had not bought a ticket either at the office or on the dock and was not on the passenger list. ''Vas is los init Taylor?' was the question that inn mediately arose among the racing men and officials of the -I. A. C., who were waiting to say Bon voyage to the champion. The speedy colored boy is very uncommunicative about his af- fairs and it may be that his failure to sail on tie. steamer he at first chose and declared he would take was due to nothing more than unpreparedness. or whimsical change of mind He has plenty of time to get to Paris before the date for his first race next month and it is probable that he is remaining quietly at his home at Worcester, plan- ming to go on the next steamer

the eagerness of Mir. Daly to see the man who was going to pilot his great horse Tammany in big race. Daily had engaged Garrison at 9 large re- tainer to ride, and as he raced horses only for the love of seeing his Cooper. silver and green" silk jacket show in front of a field, he wanted the best pilot to be engaged.
 ''Where's that Snapper bye?" Daly said to Matt Byrnes, his trainer. II want to set my eyes on him." The meeting exchanged by millionaire and rider was cordial, but entirely lacking in formality on MT. Daly's part. ''Yes, you're a fine broth of a jockey, me bye. horses" was the rich mans remark.
 Various stories are told of Garrison's life. but I guess it is true that he was born in New Haven, Conn.,, in 1868, and that Father Bill'' Daly, the famous turf character vho made him jockey, was his uncle. Daily has supplied the turf with at least three famous riders, Garrison. Johnny and Joe Lamley. For a, long time after Garrison went into Father BilH Daly's stables he was but an exercise boy. It was in 1882 that he had his first mount. in a race. During his long illness, Garrison was faithfully nursed by his wife, who was daughter of rich Coney Island hotel keeper, when the jockey, enjoying the grea [ returns of his avocation, married her.

As Erne has one unjust decision over McFadden, the retired lightweight champion should in com mon fairness give the former another match. The fact that he steers clear of McFadden shows how Erne feels on the subject

RYAN AND WALCOTT.

The victory of Tommy Ryan of Sy- racuSe over Tommy West at Louisville on Monday night was not so easy as the sports predicted. Either West must have shown better form than ill his battle with Joe Walcott in the Gar den last summer or else Ryan was not in the best condition. Ryan. who says he is middleweight champion. scaled at 152 pounds. while West was proba- bly above 16O. That was. of course. a handicap for the Syracusan. but at the same time il must be remembered that Walcott when he tackled West did not weigh more than 14o, if that. Local sporting men said yesterday that Ryan now could not very well dodge q match with Walcott. who has been anxious to fight him for I long time. Ryan. it is argued. cannot draws the color line. as he consented last year to fight the. Harlem Coffee Cooler q negro. It is understood that Mysteri- -ous Billy Smith wants a fight with Ryan too. Smith had two sensation al battles with the Syracuse man six years ago. The first was at Coney Island. Smith had Ryan virtually out in the eleventh round when the police jumped into the ring. After the blue coats had been persuaded to withdraw the fight proceeded and Ryan was whipping Smith in the eighteenth round, when the police again inter fered and the decision was a draw Not long after Smith met Ryan at Maspeth in a vicious encounter. Ryan was roughed and fouled so much that he cried out in distress to Referee Hurst, who disqualified Smith in the fourth round. Smith never has been able to make match with Ryan since Some of Walcott's most sensa- tional fights have been with Smith and West. but he has never met Ryan.

 Kid Mccoy, the pugilist, was a pas senger on the North German Lloyd line steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, which sailed yesterday for England.
 Mccoy only returned from abroad last week.
 He sees no bright future for, the fighting game in this country, and thinks there is more money on the other side.
 It was suggested to Mccoy before he sailed that fighting for big purses was dead in America for a year or two in any event, and that the fortunate boxers would be those who landed on the top when the grand shuftle for cover came.
