YOU,
AT once I scented a job Of some

wrong in the race, But I looked wise
and answered: oh. pshawi You needn't
be afraid Of my giving it away. was
on 10 the game all the time. But
what I'd like to know is, How did you
work il so smoothly?
Why, says the trainer, 1t was
simple enough. After the fourth heat
We just switched the mares.
And that was how the job was
worked Brown had brought the twin
mare in from the farm a few days be-
fore the race, and 10 one knew any
thing Of it. The day OF the race he
had one of his boys take the country
mare out on one of the roads near the
track and warm her up while his 9th
err mare was wearing out the heart Of
every horse in the race. When the
Z NTH heat was called he just brought
out the fresh mare AFTER throwing
I bucket OF water over her TO make her
look as if she had been racing. She
came on the track perfectly fresh, and
we didn't one of us have the ghost OF
a show of winning.
1T was such a slick trick that
didn't have the heart to give it away,
ana II wasn't found out for months
aTterWaFd- There were people mean
enough 10 say then that Brown had
( made it worth my while to keep quiet,
but that was simply SANDER. I had
been lucky on a few races and had
/ bunch OF money in consequence, and
the effort of certain people to trace
connection between that money ana
Browns coup was so silly that / never
thought 1t worth while to reply to the
accusations.
AS for Brown, he cleared up such
pile between the purse and the pools
That he soon afterward retired from
the turf and sold his stable. He told
me that he made $4,000 out Of the
race, and I never had the slightest
reason to doubt that he did"

BOXING EXHIBITIONS.

TVEN TO SUCH A QUESTION as
i the rightfuiness or vrongfulness of
boxing exhibitions. which many really
conscientious reformcrs persist in con-
fusing with prize fights. there is another
side. A properly conducted boxing
match Is not nearly so dangerous to
life and limb as the average game Of
football II does not hold out anything
like the encouragement OF foul play.
and as a spectacle. it is not 20 be COM
pared with a football up.
In football. men ar licked in the
ribs while down, they e pounded in
the head, their arms and less are brok-
en-, and every season shows a length
ewing list OF fatalities. In the ordinary
boxing contest the men are trained 20
the hour and can stand punishment
which 20 the ordinary Individual would
be imDos sible. Under the rules when
a fighter is disabled for the space q
ten seconds he loses the battle.
Ten seconds isn't % very long time.
a vcvy sligh- blow delivered at the
right physiological point is sufficient
10 accomplish this with the average
taizen. and the eleventh second in a
majority Of cases fluids him pra ticaIIy
as well as ever. In every football game
men are disabled for longer periods.
Indeed, in most football games paruci-
pants are carried insensible from the
teid and hours. sometimes, Of hard

AN UNCONSCIOUS rumoRIsT.

president DONALDSON Of the
i Colorado Springs Mining exchange
Is a rarely humorous Individual Like
all really great humorists, Mr.. Donald
son doesn't know how excruciatingiy
funny he is. 1t viii be hard for salt
Lakes mining brokers to restrain their
joyful emotions wheo they read about
Mr.. DonaIdsou's latest example Sc
dainty and exquisite fun. Commenting
on the fat-ned condition OF stock
prices here, the other day to q Colora-
do Springs Telegraph reporter. he said:
There should not be but one western
exchange. and this city is the logical
home for it, Colorado Springs is the
mining center of the state. and is be
coming the center of mining through
out the west, southwest and Mexico.
People who have stocks listed on the
salt Lake exchange should list them
with US. OR exchange is an assured
success. has been from the beginning"
and more Of the same sort Of twaddle.
Now. in order 10 appreciate the full
significance Of Mr.. Donaldson's joke,
for it is difficult to believe he spoke
seriously. let us look at the figures.
Take those for the day on which Mr..
DonaIdson's interview appeared We
find that the total sales Of all stocks
listed on the Colorado Springs eX-
change amounted to So, 5SI75. The
same day in Salt Lake the mining
stock sales aggregated $4,000 ON the
exchange. or not much less than double
the Colorado Springs total
Day I'm and day out this average viii
be maintained. 1t is NOT an unusual
circumstance for the local sales to
reach as high a figure as 100000. Often
they are larger than that, and more
often suH. they are four and five times
as much as the business done by the
Colorado Springs brokers. The Herald
derives no special pleasure out of cali
ing attention to Mr.. DonaIdson's alb
surd proposition, The step is taken
merely to set him right.
A consolidation of the salt Lake AMI
he Colorado Springs exchanges would
be- q -gocd move, out the tan cannot
Nag the dog. The Donaldson exchange
must come here. and there is no doubt
but that it would be given a most cor
dial welcome. We could take care OF
fits business without the increase being
very apparent. The Colorado Springs
exchange covers practically only one
district, that Of Cripple Creek, while
I'm Salt Lake every district in Utah and
some in Idaho and Nevada are repre-
scented. There should be more Of the
Idaho and Nevada mines. for they have
some hrst-class ones in these states, but
they win come in dme.
As TO the low prices now prevailing
heve Il, is not unfair to mention that
bear raids have been eminently sue
cesssu in Colorado Springs. Many Of
the stocks listed there are today sell
ing at figures which would have beeu
considered proposterousIy low only a
few months since.
