Morris Park-Chicago Banker Secures
Injunction to Restrain Race Assoc;a-
ton From Paying Out Money.

L. " Bell has bought of John E.
Madden the four-y -year-old colt, Col. Bill,
for price said to be $4,000 Madden
purchased Col. Bill early in the spring
for a comparatively small sum, and has
developed him from an ordinary selling
platter to horse of considerable class.
His best performances were a mile in
1:39 2-5 and a mile and a quarter in
2:06 LIS. the latter race being run over a
slow track. He defeated the great Gold
Heels in the only race the latter horse
lost this season. Col. Bill won his maid
en- race at Benning year ago last fall,
and was at that time considered horse
of only very mediocre quality. His re-
markable improvement shows what a
skilled trainer can accomplish.
The Respess stable arrived at Morris
Park yesterday. Among the horses are
the two crack two-year-olds, Dick Welles
and Collonade, and the good three-year-
old, Six Shooter, who won the City and
Suburban Handicap at Buffalo. .Turfmen
will await with interest the appearance
Of Dick Welles, for 1t is generally be-
lieved that If he could beat Savable as
easily as he did in the West, that he is
the best -year-old of the year. A
meeting between Welles and Aceful
would about decide the Junior champion
ship. Collonade is said to be not far
behind Dick Welles in the matter of
class.
Gwynne Tompkins, the local handler
of steeplechasers, has shipped his sta
BILE of 'leppers' to Morris Park. where
they will take part in the coming meet
ing. Mr.. Tompkins has a number of
green jumpers which he will give a
trial at Morris Park and will doubtless
start some of them at the coming fall
meeting at Benning.
Sidney Paget, who owned the good
steeplechaser Glengar that was killed at
Gravesend on Tuesday while leading in
race, had been offered $1,000 for the
horse on the morning of the race and
declined it, Glengar promised to de-
velop into one of the best jumpers in
the country. He was a grand looking
horse and often raced at Benning
While not very successful on the fiat,
his debut as a jumper indicated that he
had been introduced to his best game
and great things were expected of him.
1t is said Mr.. Paget contemplated send
ing Glengar TO England to run in the
Grand National Steeplechase.

An amusing story is told in Ceylon
Of tea planter with glass eye. He
was DESTROYS one day Of leaving his
plantation, but knew that as soon as
he did so the natives would cease
work.
However, a way out of the difficulty
occurred to him, and, addressing the
men, he said to them: although L
myself shall lie absent, yet l shall leave
one of my eyes to see that you do your
work."
Then, much to the surprise of the ma
tiyes, he took out his glass eye and
placed it on the stump of tree.
For some time the natives worked
like elephants, but at last one OF them,

Took I'm the Slack.

StOnewall Jackson had small mercy
on soldiers whom he caught strag-
Cling, but is said to have laughingly
condOned one instance. During a
forced march in the summer of 1862
he stopped to consult with one Of his
general officers. The entire command
had been passed, and as Jackson and
his officers rode forward to rejoin the
column the former discovered pri-
vate up persimmOn tree. Asked by
the commander why he was so far in
the rear, the private replied:
"Eatin' simmons"
"Persimmonsv' rOared Jackson.
"Why, they're not even ripe yet"
Like 'em green just now" ex-
planned the soldier.
"And why" asked Jackson, soften
ing little with amusement at the fell

Visit of the Duchess.

The duchess of Marlborough, who
has been staying at Newport, U. S. A.,
has been feted in very remarkable
manner by the admiral of the Amer
lean fleet during the mimic war be-
tween the American army and navy.
A grand reception in honor Of the
duchess and her party of sixty was
held on board Rear Admiral Higgin-
sons flagship on Sunday, and the
maneuyers were actually delayed q
whole day in consequence.
The duchess, who wore a white
dress, has thus had the unique expe-
rience of serving as a flag Of true.
The episode shows the American
mans Difference to woman in a very
striking and, az we cannot but believe,
unusual light. 1t is significant that
all the commanders under Admiral
Higginson signitied their appreciation
of his action by absenting themselves
from the reception, in spite of the
fact that all had received invitations.
