j bers of the Old Street Committee save
Mr.. King by 0Iessrs. GUIDE. Gasser and
Weinbrunn, each of these three men tes-
tifying that upon no occasion did they
approach any other members of the COM
mittce, King alone being their paid rep
resentative OF that body. It is more than
probable that this testimony on the part
of the contractors will have much weight
with the special grand jury, which Will
soon convene to further investigate al
legged corruption in the Council and other
branches of the city government, as 1t
had been generally supposed that in the
coming investigation the evidence of
GUIDE, Gasser and Weinbrunn would have
much to do with the final presentments
OF that body.
Probably the most sensational feature
of the entire hearing yesterday occurred
after both sides had closed their tesu-
mony when Justice Crutchtield asked
that Nessrs GUIDE and Weinbrunn be
recalled. as he desired to ask them a
question or two. Both of these men were
asked directly whether upon any other
occasion either had stated or sworn I'M
der oath that they had never given King
any money for pushing their interests
in the Street Committee.
Mr. Weinbrunn. who was the first of
the two to return to the room. answered
in the affirmative. stating that before
the grand jury he swore that he had
never given King any money. whereupon
Justice Crutchfield asked him why he
had done so. In reply Weinbrunn said
that he did SO TO shield King.
We'll. YOU would swear to a lie to

judge.
Yes answered the witness. and then
he was ordered brusquely to leave the
stand by the justice.
A SENSATION.
Mr.. GUIDE was not so willing to answer
the question of the judge and not until
after his attorney. Mr. Harry Smith.
advised him did he respond directly to
the question.
He then stated that he had
also sworn in the grand jury room, that
he had never given any money to King
for the purpose of gaining his aid and
influence in the Street Committee

HOW A JOCKEY LIVES,

WRITTEN o THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC,
1t is a popular fallacy. a ~wsll-known
trainer remarked to the writer recently,
that a jockey has to abuse his constitution
TO a great extent during the racing season.
in order to keep his weight within proper
limits. This idea. however. Is a somewhat
exaggerated one. For while a jockey has
to be very careful regarding what he eats
and drinks. so that he may not acquire a
superiority OF flesh, and takes certain meas
ures TO keep his weight down. he by no
means starves himself. as many people
imagine. To deny himself proper sustenancs
would only result in him breaking down
altogether after a short while and being
totally unfit to ride.
In studying his diet. a Jockey has to con-
slider two chief points,. He has always TO
be sure that his food is Of the very best
quality, and that, while it is good for the
constitution. its fiesh-forming properties
are practically nil. \ jockey. for instance.
will eschew such things as buildings and
pasteries. soups, pork. beef and other fat
tening foods. and will drink very little of
anything. seeing that all liquids have a
tendency to make one put on flesh.
But il he has to avoid such foods he
finds quite as much pleasure and enjoyment
in others which do him as much good and
at the same time keep him in proper con-
dltion. A Jockey who has a race coming off
VI d lew udyS dlu VIII Is PICblg ik-lIdL
is to say. has no fear OF going on the course
over weight-will not stint himself In the
way of mutton-chops. tea. toast. fat fish,
certain fruit. wine. and. in fact. anything
which he thinks will agree with him.
1t is only those jockeys who rapidly put
on flesh in the off-season, or during the
intervals between the races who adopt a
strict regime OF living. Then 1t is that they
sometimes put the muZzle on" to use a
popular racing phrase. That Is to say, they
live or little or nothing for a few DAYS
previous to a certain race in order to get
rid of all superRuous flesh and bring them
selves down to the weight at which they
have to ride.
On several occasions 1 have known Jock
eys who were particularly anxious to ride
in certain races. but who were perhaps as
much as six pounds or seven pounds too
heavy, to reduce that weight in almost as
many days. 1t is then. of course, that they
have to practically starve themselves, liv-
ing on &c little as they possibly can. and
trying to reduce their weight by means Of
certain sweating exercises. But a jockey
always knows how far to go, so to speak,

To Estimate a Rivers Width.

To measure the width OF any ordinary

necessary to make use Of only your eyes
and the brim Of your hat. That seems queer.
doesn't 1t? But it's true. and here Is the
way to do It:
Select a part of the river bank where the
ground runs back level. and. standing at the
waters edge, fix your eyes on the opposite
bank. Now, move your hat down over your
brow until the edge Of the brim Is exactly
on a line with the water line on the other
side.
This will give you a visual angle that may
be used on any level surface. and If. as
has been suggested. the ground on your
side of the river be fiat. you may LAY or
q corresponding distance on it. To do this
you nave only to hold your head perfectly
steady, after getting the angie with your
hat brim. supporting your chin with your
hand, If necessary. and turn slowly around
until your back is toward the river.
Now, take careful note of where your
hat brim cuts the level surface OF the
ground as you look out over the latter, and
from where you stand to that point viii

may readily be measured by stepping. IL
you are careful in all these details you can
come within a few feet OF the rivers width.

and never abuses his constitution too much
Walking and running are the two favorite
exercises amongst Jockeys who wish to
keep their weight down. They usually wrap
themselves in sweaters and other warm
clothing. no matter how hot the weather
may be. and go for q seven or eight-mIle
walk or run. until the perspiration literally
pours of them. Many also indulge largely
in Turkish baths and wear excessive cloth
ing when going for a gallop.
How long does a jockey last7 That great
ly depends on who he is and the success he
meets with. On an average, however, most
jockeys who have a fair amount OF luck
with their mounts ride from ten to twelvs
years They then usually retire and in
vest their money in some sort OF business,
such as a public-house or good hotel prop
erty. 1 know many Jockeys who have done
this. 1t is rather difficult to say what they
earn as a rule. seeing that fees vary some
what In minor races the fees are generally
S25 for riding a winner. s15 a loser. and SO
for riding a trial. But in the big races the
Jockeys receive much larger remuneration.
not to mention gifts from lucky hackers.
