GOSSIP OF THE TURF

Roseben, last season king of sprint
ers on the metropolitan tracks, is de-
throned idol this year. Johnson's geld
ing. able TO pick up an awful weight
package and negotiate anything UP to
six furlongs within fraction of Sec
ond of the record, was the pride of
eastern racegoers last year and was
considered inVincibe at the shorter
distances. His races were all spectacu-
lar, jumping into the leau from the
start and maintaining 1t until the
finish without apparent effort. 1t was
an open question as to just how fast
Roseben could go, for when he nego-
tiated six furlongs In record time he
was under a pull for the last part of the
journey.
This season it is different. In his first
race of the year the gelding was asked
to travel mile in fast company in one
of the early spring handicaps. Until
the last furlong It looked like Roseben
all over, but when the real test came he
chucked 1t up and finished third.
Then the wise ones got busy. wait
till he gets back to the sprints," they
all said. Hes just as fast as ever,
but hasn't the staying qualities to go a
distance"
Roseben's next out was in a six fur
long sprint, and the talent went to him
like 1t was all over. The gelding APP
parently had all his speed and looked
to be an easy winner a furlong from
home, but again he was beaten
Sipce then 1t has been the same
story. The pride of Johnson's stable
has been getting his right along, the
last time out Thursday, not being able
to get closer to the front than third.
Handzarra, the little filly which raced
here last winter, was one of the two
which finished in front of him.
Hermis, one of the gamest horses that
ever poked his face across the line a
winner, is to be disposed of at public
auction at Sheepshead Bay track on the
eighth of July, together with Advance
Guard.
The claim of Frank Hitchcock that
the horse Go-Between was not entitled
to the suburban handicap won by him
on account of the fact that he ran as a
gelding when in reality he is either a
ridgling or stallion, was settled by
the stewards of the Coney Island
Jockey club at Sheepshead Bay. They
decided in favor of Go-Between and his
owner. Alexander Shields. The stew
ards decided that as there was no men
ton of sex in the original entry of Go
Between he was entitled to the money.

Christ Church Rectory,
Houston. Texas.


The new pipe organ in Christ
Church, Houston, built and in.
stalled by the Hutchings-Votey
Organ Company of Boston, has
been carefully watched and every
stage Of its construction noted.
The specification, as prepared by
our committee, has been consoien-
tiously adhered to in every partic-
ular; and the organ, as it stands,
viewed from the standpoint Of the
specification Of the committee, is
perfect.
We believe that from an artistic
and musical standpoint the Hutch
ings-votey Organ Company, the
builders Of this instrument, are
unsurpassed by any other firm Of
organ builders Of this country.
Because of seriously difficult
acoustic conditions in the Christ
church building, the committee
has found it advisable to add some
what to the original specification
in order to increase the volume OF
tone and power Of the great organ.
This, however, is not in any way
the fault Of the builders, as they
did not prepare the original speci-
fications. The company will as
soon as possible make the addi-
tons referred to, and we are conf
dent the result will be an organ SUI
perior to any instrument in Texas
from the standpoint of real must
cal quality and value. Onr expe-
rience with the Hutchings- Votey
Organ Company confirms our be-
lief that they build organs Of the
highest grade on the American
market today. In every smallest
detail we have found their organ
honest and frst.class and our COM
mittee is thoroughly satisfied with
the work done by this firm for us.
This contract was awarded to the
Hu,chings. Votey Company in
competition with some of the prin-
cipal builders Of this country be-

cause the committee was searching
for the very best to be had, and
after a full investigation the com.
mittee was Of the opinion that this
company stood at thVhead of their
profession.
We take pleasure in stating that
the organ as it stands cahplete in
Christ church is, in our opinion
Gin which opinio-s our organist,
Mr.. Horton Corbett, ANG. o., con-
curs), a complete vii<lication Of
our original judgment and an ar
tistic triumph for the buildtfs
And we are convinced that when
the organ is augmented, as will be
done at once, there will be nothing
left to desire. (Signed)

Some time ago ! was asked TO come

Il found the animal had It's neck
broken. and there were claw marks
On the nose and shoulder. but nowhere

tiger had jumped at the bull and land

turned his head to gore the tiger he
must have put his claw out and with
a sudden Jerk broken the neck.
On another occasion | went 10 see
young buffalo which had been killed by
a tiger and found the same thing had
happened. There were similar marks
on the nose and also on the near Shout
der. which clearly indicated that this
animal had been killed In the same
way. Malays who have actually seen
a tiger killing a buffalo told me they
saw the same thing happen; also that
in dragging on a heavy carcass. such
as buffalo or bull. he gets most OF the
weight across his shoulder.

The old idea Of a tiger killing large
