Origin of Insurance.

Insurance came from madiaeval Italy. It is believed to date from the sixteenth century, and al that time it was known in Florence. The Romans did no. know insurance. The nearest they came to it was the practice of a company supplying the army to require a guarantee from the state against the loss of ships But this was soon aban- 6onei because damages had been col- lectsd for sunken ships too worthless to Roa-

0'NEIL TELLS WHY HE'S
GOING TO QUIT.

NEW YORK. July 21-Jockey Frank
O'Neil has won nothing but praise from
horsemen all over the country because of
his frankness In explaining bad ridineS from
the jockey viewpoint. Recently he said
When boy gets to riding as bad as I
rode that mount It's time he retired. and
I'm going to DO II. I've been al my best,
and am going back. III quit before I've
handled another horse like that.
It's a mighty tough JOB sitting UP there
on the back OF horse and seeing half a
dozen others heading for a hole that would
hardly admit a goat. You never know
when you are going down In heap. They
blame boy sometimes for being pinched
the critics who censure boys ought TO be
compelled to go through just such an ex-
perisnce. Try sending a dozen horses
around turn at full speed and every one
OF them will bore in on the rail. II boy
pulls out he is bound to pull his mount up,
and then some 81 bettor says he Is pulling,
calls the lad q thief or worse and that's the
way the Jockeys get theirs.
II always tried to get In front and then
II anything occurred wanted to be of In
the lead. BY locking at the chart you will
also see that ! succeeded In reaching the
first turn with the leaders. When II was
necessary to ride q waiting race / always
took my mount back down the back stretch
and then waited patiently for the final
quarter. but you seldom ever saw me pull
up going 70 the FIRST turn"

COCK FIGHTING IN
CAPE COLONY.

LONDON, July 21.-The export OF fight
ing cocks to the colonies has been on the
increase. Almost every liner that sails
from Southampton for Cape Colony carries
a consignment of these feathered gladia-
tors.
Cock fighting is not only permitted by
law in Cape Colony--it has become almost
national pastlme-and exhibitions OF
fighting cocks are as well established there
as dog shows In this country. large
number OF British fighting cocks are also
sent to the west coast states1of America.
Nor has cock fighting become extinct IN
this country, though forbidden by law In
the Black country, round Oldbury, Wednes-
bury and West Bromwich, 1t ffourishes,
patronized chiefly by the brawny "pud-
diers" on a Sunday morning. Most OF the
spurs, both silver and steel. are made at
Walsall. They are intended for export, and
are not easily obtalnable for home fights.
There still lives In North Warwickshire
the representative of a family which for
generations has been devoted to the breed
ing of fighting cocks.

the small rings were sought by light-har-
ness horsemen with the hope of earning a
little easy money. The day has long since
passed when easy money can be earned on
any track In the United States, owing to
the rapid improvement made In the breed
OF trotters and PAGERS. Thirty and forty
years ago, when trotters had to be made
and were few in number, things were diff
ferent. The purses given In the old days
were also larger. Where 500 purses are
given nowadays on the small rings, purses
ranging from 81 900 to 81, 500 were offered.
Stallion purses, which were a special fea-
ture years ago, ranged all the way from
$12, 600 to $25, 600.
And speaking of stallion purses recalls
to mind the fact that stallion races are no
longer the vogue. Just why this is the case
1t is hard to explain. Rivalry among stall
loneers is as keen as in the old days, stall
lions are far more numerous and much
faster. and 1t would seem that If stallion
races were revived and noted horses entered
thousands of people from every part of the
United States would patronize them. The
last great stallion race was along in the
nneties, when Arion (2W%), Directum
(2.051O and Charlie Herr (2.O714) competed
for large purse near Boston. Directum,
which was almost fnvincible In those days,
won the race, but had to step pretty near
his limit to win. Another stallion race that
which took place at Grand Rapids, Mich,
in the latter part of the eighties, between
Allerton (2091D and Nelson (2!09lD. Aller-
ton won more through superior reinsman-
ship than because of his superior speed
for a matter of fact the speed of the
contestants was about equal. The day may
soon come again when stallion contests will
be resumed, and when they are 1t may be
guaranteed in advance that large crowds
will be there to witness them.
The statement recently made that James
R. Keene will have the bones of Sysonby
articulated and placed in the Central Park
Museum recalls to mind that the bones of
his celebrated ancestor, English Eclipse,
were articulated and may be seen in the
Veterinary College in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Eclipse was far and away the greatest race
horse of his day a. all distances, was never
defeated, and from an anatomical stand
point the most rema rka BILE of English-bred
race horse, his measurements exceeding
those of any known blood horse. He traced
to the Godalphin and Darby Arabians in
the paternal and maternal lines, and from
him and his immediate descendants have
come the best racers in America and Eng
land. Boston, Lexington, his son, imported

ting breed; American Eclipse, imported
