The weather man struck the
nail on the head nearly every pop
this week. It is the ardent desire
of the general public that he
should not be SO accurate, especial
ly when he predicts the coun-
founded weather he gave us the
past week-one day freezing cold,
and the next day summer heat, and
raining every day.
Those who have not paid their
poll tax are solemn looking fell
lows. They take consolation in
acussing" the law, while it is their
pure negligence that is at fault.

HIGH BIDS FOR JOCKEYS.

Redfern $4,000 for a Season.

London, Nov. 25.-There is extraord;-
nary competition between race horse
owners here TO secure the services of
American jockeys and next year viii
probably witness a record in the salaries
which they will be paid. William C.
Whitney has been trying to get Maher,
who rides the kings stable, but the re-
lations between Maher and Marsh, the
kings trainer, are so friendly that
Maher probably would sacrifice a big
sum rather than sever the connection.
1t is said in racing circles that Mr.
Whitney, unable to secure Maher, has
offered Redfern as much as $4,000 to
ride for him next season. The offer is
the highest on record.
1t was rumored that Maher had re-
turned to America because he was dis
appointed with his success during the
present season and that he did not in
tend to return here. Eut it is a fact
that before he left he signed the nee
essary documents calling upon him to
ride for the king next season and for
Marsh's stable when eligible.
