It was stirring day at the track
From the crack OF dawn until the thor
oughbreds were cooled out. fed. ana
Uttered down. not an idle minute had
been passed
Many stories have found their way into
print throughout the past. week suent
the backward condition OF the Benuins
horses, due to the iDclement weather and.
in consequence. the heavy track. True
enough. as far as the weather and track
were concerned, but as applied to the
horses. such stories were a canard pure
and simple.
When the track was thrown open to
the trainers and their strings on Friday
gallops were the order of the day. but
yesterday. all was different
Old Sol beamed down upon the track
for the two past deys with ali the in
tensity OF May day When the horses
tTotted out on the stretch yesterday
morning the going was so much i'm
proved that before . O'Clock breezing
was freely INDUCED in. and some smart
workouts were recorded.
To the Columbia Stable belongs the
days best figures. A half was covered
by one OF these horses in 8.5O. three
eighths in 0:s7. and sam Craig did Eve
furlongs in 1:05. and this was done on
comparatively slow track.
As can be seen al a glance. the croak-
ings Of the wiseacres were without foun-
dation and ill-timed. such figures com
pare most favorably with those at any
track in the East, and IL is safe to pre-
dict that Benning horses will enter the
early OF the meet as we'll conditioned

from New Orleans

The most fastidious lover OF the rae
ing sport can but be pleased with The
program. The feature events for the meet
are replete with interest to the seasoned
interest centers in the Benning Hadicap
on the opening day. A glance at the
entries viii furnish food for reflection
and one can ponder long and deeply
before finally settling upon a choice on
which 10 lay his commission. The maiden
hurdle race on Wednesday March IS
should prove of keen interest. and the
performers in this event will be closely
watched.
Saturday of the same week comes The
Chevy Chase Hunt Handicap steeplc-
chase and open steeplcchase. This race
has a deep significance for Washing
tonians and Will prove the piece de re-

Muny RumOrS Afloat Concerning

Baseball has been at a fever heat in
Washington the past day or two. Be
tween the coming and going Of the New
York and Boston National League teams
en- route South. the expected arrival Of
Postal and LOTUS. and the daily prac-
tice at American League Park The
fans are in a state well nigh bordering
On exhaustion.
Nothing has developed IN the local
deal the past few days. nor Will it do
so until Postal and LOTUS arrive. Lit
tie doubt remains but that the club Will
pass into the hands of local capitalists
who are DESTROYS OF gaining controlling
interest of the stock
A prominent director of the club and
a dyed in he-wooI rooter said last night
that Postal and LOTUS were momentarily
expected in the city and that the ques-
tion would be taken up at once. Fur
thermore. he said that Postal is will

TO the deal so far has been in Tom Lof-

Never before in the history Of the

Considering how many will be needed
when frst-ciass racing will be enjoyed
simultaneously at various points. the
present list OF good performers is re
markably small. There are many i'm
portant stables which. as far as is
known. stH lack the services Of a

Andrews affliction is indeed great.

and now the death OF her little girl

add still further to her misfortune
three other children are afflicted
with the disease, malignant scarlet
fever, and are lying near to death S

Mrs. McAndrews was called first
in the trial of Levan for the murder
of her husband, in order to enable
her to return to her sick children.
The sympathy Of all goes out to
her in her deep sorrow.

New Court Orier.

On Monday morning the court
appointed w. c. Richart as court
crier in place of John S. Williams,
retired. Last Friday morning Judge
Little announced that Mr.. Williams
had retired from the position, and
announced the appointment of Jacob
Keifer, but to this both the asso-
ciate judges objected, not having
been consulted in the matter as
Judge Little stated.
Mr.. Richart can fill the position
as we'll as any body. The duties
are neither arduous nor complicated.
To make good court crier the in
cumbent must be man who can
sleep without being disturbed by
the court proceedings, His princi-
pal duties are to say few words
when the court opens and closes;
to send tipstave to do what men,
bers of the bar ask the crier to do;
and to draw his breath and salary.

WALTERS ESTATE.

Another step was taken in the
complicated affairs of the late Her
man Walters, ON Monday monring
in court, when Col. Freeze on be-
half of H. H. Rover of Center Co. ,
presented a petition to the court
asking for rule on J. c. Rutter
Jr, Register and Recorder, and W..
b. Allen, to show cause why the
letters of administration in Walters
estate granted to Mr.. Allen by
Register and Recorder Rutter should
not be revoked. The rule was
granted and the MATER will come
up for hearing before the court. No
doubt the rule will be resisted on
the ground that application should
first have been made to the Register
and Recorder to revoke the letters,
as was done iu the case of A. w.
Duy, escheator appointed by the
state.
Application has been made in
Philadelphia for letters Of admins
tration on the ground that nearly
all of Walters personal property is
there, but this has been refused un-
til the letters granted here and in
Center county have been disposed
of.
The petition for a citation to Cor
oner Sharpless to pay over the
money in his hands to w. B. Allen,
administrator, has not yet been de-
cided by the court.

The Old Fashioned County Fair.

Some Of the newspapers
throughout the state located in
counties which do not have annual
agricultural fairs are agltating for
more of these county fairs. SO far
as we are concerned while Montour
county has no fair we are perfectly
content. Agricultural fairs are mis-
named. They are mostly gambling
affairs, with horse-racing as side
attraction. Sweat boards and wheels
of fortune crowd the entrance and
main thoroughfares while the little
exhibit of second grade farm pro-
ducts occupies some small dilapi-
dated buildings in some-out-of the
way place
The old fashioned county fair
that stimulated and educated the
farmer in husbandry seems to have
passed away and the modern insti-
tuition that has taken its place is a
school of vice. From fair of this
sort each county might we'll pray

Honest men had better keep out
of the penitentiary. Recent develop
merits show that q lot of crooked
work has been going on in the state
prison at Philadelphia, and as re-
suit the warden and a number of
other officials of the institution will
resign or be removed. The revenue
laws have been violated by using
old boxes second time. The law
requiring all prison made cigars to
be so stamped on the box was dis
regarded, and numerous other ir-
regularities have come to light.
But the latest development is the
discovery that counterfeit coins
have been make inside the prison
walls, and circulated on the outside.
How they got outside has not yet
transpired, but it will likely be
known before the investigation ends.
With such carvings on, it is an.
other warning to honest men tc
keep out of the Eastern Penitentiary
lest their morals may be corrupted
by those placed in authority over
convicts in that institution.

Iberia Base Ball Club.

New Iberia is to have a base
ball team again this year. Mr..
Julius Scharff took hold of the
matter in dead earnestness this
last week with a determination
that admits no defeat. The idea
was the organization of a base
ball stock company with shares at
80. each per value. Fifty per
cent of the subscription to stock
was conditioned to be payable at
once and the balance at the call of
the directors. With the money
thus raised a good strong team
will be organized and a seasons
engagements will be booked as
rapidly as possible. Should the
seasons gate receipts allow the
stock company to meet all their
expenses and give surplus, a
dividend will be declared. Should
an antithetical condition of the
treasury develop during the sea-
son then the calls will be made
for payments on the balance of
the subscriptions to the capital
stock.
No better, more painstaking,
energetic or enthusiastic Captain
and Manager could have been
chosen than Mr.. Julius Scharff.
II there Is any one here who can
make success of the scheme, he
is that individual. The lovers of
the sport will have the opportu.
nifty Of seeing some good games
here this season.
