WON A CHRISTOPHER RACE.
John W. Mackay Played Sharp Trick
 On the Learned Professor.

John w. Mackay was an early riser, hard worker, and, although exceed ingly hospitable, was himself abstem- ious, and could seldom be induced to play cards for money, and then only for nominal stakes. The only game that seemed to attract him was the grass hopper races" with which the mining superintendents on the Comstock be- guiled a portion of the noon hour while waiting for luncheon at the Savage company hoisting house. Boys caught grasshoppers and sold them to the players at 25 and 50 cents each. Each player had d fixed stake, ranging from s1 to $20 in the pool, and the man whose hopper made the longest jump Christmas it was agreed to celebrate that holiday with pool, the stakes in which were $100 for each player.
 The terms were play or pay" and at the instance of German professor who was a superintendent of a leading mine. each man was allowed to use any means that he might devise to stimulate his grasshopper. The professor was so full of his scheme to scientifically capture the $1,O0O pool-for there were ten en- lIlcS-lLdl lc LO d young assayer who was not a grass hopper plunger. The professor had experimented and ascertained that a grasshoper that was touched with feather dipped in a weak solution of aqua amonia would jump for his life. The young man also experimented, and as a result he filled a bottle of the same size and appearance with cyanide of potassium and managed to substi- tute it for the other in the professors laboratory. The next day, when the professor, after much boasting about his scientific attainments, dipped a feather in the substituted bottle and touched his insect with it, the grass hopper rolled over as dead as a mack rel, amid the roars of the crowd. Mae kay's hopper won the big pool, and two widows, whose husbands had been killed in the Yellow Jacket mine re- ceived a gift of $500 each from an un- known source.
