Wild excitement prevailed when the
five teams quit the race and declared
they would not return If a lap claimed

They delivered this ultimatum to Pro-

After listening to both sides of the
story Mr.. Powers stood firm. and the

by Stol, unseen by Walthour, who was
leading the second bunch. Before Wal

Walthour claimed that Stol had i'm
properly relieved his partner and the
five teams then quit the race.
Several spills occurred during the

Only English Snakes.

1t is a curious philosophical fact
that there are quite number OF peo-
pie in existence, who are always ready
to lay hold OF any matter OF circum-
Htance that might by any possibility
be construed, or distorted SO as to re-
suit to the disadvantage or detriment
of Ireland, or the Irish people; and
the utter viciousness of the motives
by which they are actuated is manifest
ed in the trivialities to which they
have recourse, and which appear to
constitute their sole stock in trade,
says the Irish-American. An il
lustration of this condition was al
forded, few years ago, by an individ-
ual, writing under an assumed name,
in the London Times, who boldly
contended that the popularity received
notion that venomous reptiles could
not exist in Ireland was entirely er-
roneous; in proof of which he adj
vanced the statement that he himself,
on a previous voyage from America,
had brought with him half dozen we'll
grown rattle-snakes, which he had lib
Grated in the vicinity OF kingstown;
and that, on being set at liberty, the
reptiles had wriggled off vigorously,
apparently enjoying their freedom as
naturally as though they had been in
their native habitat. As nothing was
ever heard afterwards OF this specially
introduced colony of snakes, most peo-
pie were inclined to regard the state
ment as Munchausen story; and, GER
tainly, the avowal by the writer, OF his
willingness to introduce noxious and
The Irish standard., 1904-01-16

deadly reptiles into place where such
pest had been previously unknown
should be sufficient to stamp him as a
person unworthy OF credence under
any and all circumstances. The letter,
however, was reproduced in the news
papers; and the suggestion would ap-
pear to have melted others to follow
the example therein set forth; for, in
little while after, an agricultural la
borer, in the vicinity indicated, while at
work unearthed small snake, appar-
emily in torpid state. Unfortunately,
from natural aversion to reptiles, the
agticulturist chopped up his find with
the spade, and scattered the pieces, so
that none of them could be found
when search was subsequently made
by some naturalists anxious to asser-
tain If the snake belonged to the
species said to have been liberated by
the suspectedly unveracious tourist.
AS snakes under natural conditions
multiply rapidly, the fact that nothing
was afterwards heard or seen OF this
attempted colony would seem to prove
that the writer in the Times was either
lying out OF whole cloth (as would be
natural in a correspondent OF that
paper), or that the climate and soil Of
ireland both forbid the existence or
propagation OF such reptiles in the is
land: That such are the true condi-
tons is shown by the fact that on
December 18th last some children play
ing in their fathers garden in the
Rauelagh suburb OF Dublin, found a
small snake of the ring variety ly-
ing (torpid, like the other) in the
grass. On being brought to the Zoo
logical Gardens, it was declared to be
harmless, and while plentiful in Eng
land, to be entirely unknown in Ire
land. 1t was said that it might have
been the escaped property of some per-
son with the peculiar tastes in the line
Of pets; but it is much more likely
that it was the direct importation OF
some one afflicted with notions SINH
lar to those OF the rattle-snake crank.
In either conclusion, the result goes
to prove that ireland is not healthy
location for any Of the species 1t is
true that reptiles are occasionally to
be met there; but they are mostly Of
the human variety, whose habitat is
the field of politics. The people usual
ly designate them Snakes in the
grass" and, when their true character
is disclosed, the disposition made Of
them is apt to be summary; so that
they do not propagate; but the supply
is kept TIP from England, whence those
recently revealed specimens are also
supposed to have come.
