GRADES OF FINES.
Question of Furnishing violators of the
 Sunday Law.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your edition of this date, under the caption of Justice Noted Out By Judge Feagin," notice that two persons were fined s5 each for disorderly conduct Sew eral others were fined S7.50 each for gam bling on Sunday. Another was fined $l5 for selling a box of snuff on Sunday, and still another was fined $25 for selling a piece of meat on Sunday. Now if. in deed, Justice was meted out, am l right in being led to infer by the amount of these fines imposed that disorderly con duct is a less offense than gambling, and that gambling is not so bad as selling a box of snuff, and that selling customer a piece of meat is a greater crime than raising a row on the streets, gambling on Sunday or selling snuff?
 From the above rule of meting out jus tice should man who steals a horse be let off with reprimand, and one who commits murder be rewarded with a prize?
 I only ask these foolish questions in fun. 1 don't expect an answer.

FAST HORSES COME
 TO BIRMINGHAM
Montgomery String Is Best That Ever Left the Stables of the
 Capital.

Montgomery, September 26.-(Special.)- )- In padded car, and accompanied by Fred s. Newell, the best and fastest bunch of harness horses that ever left the local track went out to Birmingham early this morning on a fast freight train.
 In the string were Castor, Rcd Ribbon. Blue Ribbon, Onyx, Lilly Pointer, Prime Minister, Little Joe and Elected. The new mile track at the state fair grounds is one of the best in the south and Mr. Newell wanted to get a few weeks work on 1t preparatory to the races which begin on October 9 and con- tinue ten days. These horses go to Ma con, Selma and Columbus before they come back for the winter, about Decem- Der l.
 Fred S. Webber, true sportsman, said today: '"rhose Birmingham horsemen have gotten the best of us in every con test, but they don't catch us mapping any more.
 "On October 25 a magnificent silver cup will be given in a contest for amateur drivers, the race to be between members of the Birmingham and Montgomery Driving clubs. You can just tell all thu people that the Montgomery club is going out for scalps. We've got the best horses and we know 1t.
 'I admit" continued MT. Webber "that I covet that silver cup. l want 1t and l want 1t bad. I think I can win 1t. At any rate the man who does win 1t will have to get in a whrlwind finish"
 (Which Montgomery horses will go after the cup?"
 That we don't exactly know" replied MT. Webber, we've got a plenty to se- feet from and 1t will be time enough to name our horses when we've taken the measure of those Birmingham people"
 Another strong feature of the races will be when Dupointer's great daughter, Lil- ly Pointer, a 3-year-old marvel of speed. and whose gameness is the wonder of horsemen, will get into bunch of the get of Fred s. Wilkes, 2:11A, the great Birmingham sire.
 This race of Alabama 3-year-olds will attract great attention and C. c. McClel- land says if Lilly Pointer don't show up first in any company of her age, he will be the most disappointed man in all Ala bama.
