dearly for his success.

The colors of Alexander Shields scored
again in the fifth race. This time Andy
Williams carried them. He beat the

trouble. In their previous contest the

practically left at the post. In the race
yesterday Sambo received a good start
but ran poorly, and finished third Train

horses demanded an investigation. Andy
Williams one day runs like a fat pig;

Johnson is one of the greatest plum

Johnson has won and lost several for
tunes on the turf Recently he said that
he had lost 81 900 600 Three months ago
he announced that he had retired from
the turf In less than two weeks he
was back at the track playing the
ponies" At first he was fortunate and
won 100000 in few days. During the
past two weeks his good luck deserted
him and he has been unable to settle
his markers" that is. credit bets.
This IS not the first time that Johnson
has been in such plight. Three years

A Hearty Eater.

There is a story in the French army
Of a captain who made wager one
day that a drummer of his company
could eat a whole calf. The drummer,
proud Of his distinction, promised to do
honor to the captains compliment. Ac-
cordingly, calf was prepared In varl-
Gus appetizing ways and was being
promptly disposed Of by the drummer.
When he had finally consumed about
three-quarters of the repast. he paused
for another draft of wine and, placing
his knife and fork on his plate, said to
his superior officer, you had better
have the calf brought on, had you not,
for all these little kickshaws will end
in taking up room"

While 1t may be necessary to

gives an air of commercialism to
the occasion and, besides, from a

to make the public paw to see the
graduating exercises of the schools
