Timely Gossip of Happenings in the Turf World -5p .5~ -j~

No event in the turf world this year has created so much talk as the res ignation of the official starter of the English Jockey club, Arthur Coventry. This cool, suave, stoical at times, in telligent and resolUte gentleman, pre- mier in the old world of racing, has re- served his license and may drop the flag again, but it is doubtful. Rumor has it that the intr oduction of the bar rier and the twentieth century jock ey''-the hustling, impudent and bold American youth, who thinks his em- ployer will always stand by him made it impossible for MT. Coventry to man age the riders, and he quit rather than have his feelings hurt by criticism. Tn the United States no starter would leave his comfortable berth for any such reason.
 However, it is not likely that MT. Cow entry will make any explanation. He is Well-to-do andlone of the best posted horsemen in the world. The starter in England is much greater individual than he is on American tracks. His business entails much more riding. It was no uncommon thing for Starter Coventry to gallop .15 or 20 miles day dispatching his fields at some big En- glish course. The American starter sits in the judges stand until few minutes before a race on the elliptical track, and is driven in a carriage to the box alongside the course where he yields his little red flag.
 After all, why should they be excited over there over MT. Coventry's resig- nation? Are there not a multitude of honest men who are capable of start ing the races? The individuality of the starter departed when the barrier was put in. Any man who knows the tricks of the jockeys, possesses the dignity to enforce discipline and who knows when field should be dispatched, will answer the purpose. The bookies across the water are apart from the racing so far that no breath of scandal could ever blight the starter. Very little information is obtainable here about the compensation of the English Jockey club starter, but am informed it is e20 day and certain expenses for his horse and valet. In the 'sgood old days' of Gloucester and Guttenberg, WACA A11CE Ol Sd1uWCll was the monarch of the ellipse, this pay would have been scorned by the starter.
 Z I asked Willie Simntms, the coIored rider, the other dayfwhat he thought about Mir. Coventry's resignation. Guess hesdone got roasted" remarked the jockey. "I recklect first time I tried to get a runnin' start on Nristah Coventry he jess let me off wifi look. But goin' toh the post the nex' race he done galloped up ter me an said, wifi the fire dndah b1azin' outen his eyes sYoh all am a strangah heah, but doan't wan ter maak yer trouble. We wins races heah at de finish, not at the staht. If I sets yoh all down yeah 1t will be a mighty sight hardah on yer than it would be at home. Do yoh all understahnd?' Course seed he meant business. I've heard lots of that talk from Richard Dwyer, J. B. Ferguson, Mistah Fitzgerald-by the way, he's powerful sick man wifi typhoid fever and somehow Mistah Coyentry,s re- mahks sunk home.n

road station in Jersey City, where a l special train was waiting to take him to Washington.
 The prince will after bis visit to Washington return to New York Oct I 21 for week, during which he will be given dinner by Mayor Low and by the Presbyterian board of foreign mis- sions and will probably give dinner himself.
 It is expected that the crown princes tour of the United States will occupy about two months, but no date has been set for his sailing for the orient from San Francisco.
 In many respects the young crown prince is far and away the most inter- esting visitor to these shores in many years. His father, King Chulalong- korn, has 300 wives, and his children are said to number 236, of whom 132 are sons
 The crown prince is making tour of the world in order to study economic conditions. It is the desire of his father that when h. ascends the throne of Siam he shall Le properly educated. In order to elevate the civilization of his native country and bring it to a point where it will be possible to meet the encreachment of western civilization on somewhat equal terms.
 With this object in view the crown prince has been a resident of England since 1893. He was educated at Eton college and Oxford and is we'll qualified to study the customs of the United States. It is said to be his intention to write book entitled s'The Travels of Prince''
 The crown prince is twenty-two years old and 5 feet 1 inch tall. He has a clear brown skin, stiff black hair and is rather good looking.

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS.
Football Team in New Britain This Al
 ternoon.

ternoon. s@#
 The members of the Waterbury High school football team, in charge of Man ager John Gaffney and Captain Joseph Daly, left today on the 12:3S train for New Britain, where Iney are playing the New Britain High school team. The lineup of the team was as fol- lows: Miller, center; Thompson, Wheeler, guards; McGrath, Gardner, tackles; Gr1i1foile and Kilroe, ends; Mccarthy, quarterback; Daily, G. Me- Donald, halfbacks; Kenyon, fullback; substitutes, B. McDona1d, W. Spain and Blansfield A number of students will accompany the team and root for victory.
 At meeting yesterday morning of the players on last years team, who k are now attending school, Joseph Daily was elected captain, to succeed Mau- rice Culhane, who has decided not to attend school this year. In Culhane the High school team loses player whose position will be hard to fill.
 One of the most exciting meetings of the High school Athletic association which has been held in some time took place yesterday. President Frank Fitzpatrick tried to preside at the meeting, which was called for the pur- pose of electing manager for the : basket ball team. but such pandemoni- um prevailed that the presidents ef- forts to conduct the meeting in an or derly manner were of no avail. There were two rival factions and each poured hot shell into the others camp. Threats were uttered. fists were shook and finally the confusion was so great that the meeting was adjourned without electing a manager.
 The cause of the trouble was as fol- lows: Early in the week the mem bers of last years basket ball team met and elected H. Chapman as man ager of the basket ball team. This ac- tion did not meet with favor among a majority of the members of the Ath- letic association, who thought that the election of a manager rested with the association and not with five or six players. Consequently a meeting was called yesterday. Chapman and Jos leph Guilfoile were the rival ,eandi- dates. The Chapman crowd was &C., cused of trying to keep everybody ex- cept the members of their clique off fhe basket ball team, while they in turn accused Manager Fitzpatrick of last seasons basket ball team of not man. aging it in the right manner What that had to do with the question no aSOne knew. Things were becoming very hot and the members were be- coming excited when motion to ad- dourn passed and thus stormy ses- nion was ended.

v Without Making a Run.
 Philadelphia, Oct 11.-GeorgetoWn university has been dropped from the University of Pennsylvania baseball schedule. At meeting of the Penn sylvania baseball committee a week ago the request of the Georgetown management for the usual games next spring was brought up and it was de cided that the Washington university should not be on the Quakers' sched- ule next year. This is the informa- ton which came last night from a member of the athletic association. None of the managers of the baseball committee or Manager Irving would admit or deny that any action had been taken in regard to the George town games, nor could it be learned what reason had been assigned for not playing the Blue and Gray next spring. Georgetown has always been one of Pennsylyania's most formid- able rivals in baseball. Two games have usually been played with the southern college, one on the southern trip, early in April, and the other on Franklin field, the latter part of May The Quakers suffered a disastrous de- feat in Washington last spring and Georgetown also won the return game after hard ten-inning fight.

Despite the fact that mysterious sickness has visited his large stable of famous horses, John A. Drake, own CT of Wyeth, the American Derby win ner, is laying plans to capture the Washington Park classic next year. His hope and ambition is Savable, the Salvador colt that landed the Futurity for him this fall. As matter of fact, while the club has not formally adver- tised for nomina tions for the Derby of 1903, and will not do so until this win ter, Savable really is entered for the $2O,OOO stake. If anything happens to this great colt to prevent his starting in the race next season, millionaire owner will be excused if he has real, old-fashioned, boyish crying spell.
 Meeting James Howard, the veteran secretary of the Washington Park club and presiding genius of the American Derby race meets, heard him say that Savable was as good as formally en- tered.
 "Mr. Drake regards Savable as the greatest two-year-old of the year." said MT. Howard, "and thinks he will train on next year and start in the Derby. The greatest trainer the world possesses is Enoch Wishard, who con- ditions Mir. Drake horses, and he, too, thinks Savable will be more fortunate than was Proctor Knott.
 "Mr. Drake's confidence in his colt is not so wonderful when you reflect that ten days before the Futurity was contested he felt supremeIy confident that his colt would win in the great event something like $25,- 900 in wagers for him.

A MONKEYS SAGACITY.
After Being MauIed by a Dog, smart Creature Went to Hospital
 for Treatment.

From Baroda comes wonderful story of monkeys sagacity. A wild langur monkey in the canton. ment had been mauled by a dog. After it had got free this intelli- gent Simian made it's way to the hospital grounds, quarter of a mile distant. Here it rested in a tree until evening, reports the Lon. don Express.
 At seven p. m., seeing the coast clear, if quietly came down and went straight into the hospital, where, without any further hesitation, it took possession of a vacant bed.
 The hospital assistant tried to turn it out, but it was of no use; and as he could find no rule providing for the admission of monkey pa. tients, met the case by having the bed with the monkey on it removed out to the veranda. The following morning the medical officer, on his visit to the hospital, found that the poor animal had been badly bitten. He ordered some laudanum to be put into his drinking water in order tc relieve it's suffering. The animal drank it readily.
 In the evening the doctor took a lady and gentleman to see the nson- key, and they were simply aston ished at the manner in which it was making gestures with it's hands as if beckoning to the medical officer.
 The monkey seemed to realize it was being cared for, as whenever food or water was given to it, it quietly lifted up one of it's hands and placed it gently on the giver's, with a look as much as to say: s'Wen, it is so good of you.''
 The bearing of the animal in all it's actions was that of a very old sick man. Unfortunately it died.
