COLLOQUY SHOWED
TREMENDOUS SPEED

NEW ORLEANS, March 21.-Colloquy
showed yesterday at the Fair Grounds that
she is worthy stable mate OF Molhe
Montrose, the seven-time winner. Colloquy
easily won the handicap at five furlongs,
and cut off three-fifths of second from
the track record Her time was SO rs.
In order to accomplish this Colloquy had
to run each furlong shade slower than IL
seconds. A rate Of speed at II seconds
each furlong, If maintained, would mean
mile in 1.26, 91a seconds faster than Sal
vator made the mile record over straight
course at Monmouth Park.
Colloquy made a show of her field. She
soon opened up gap and won by two
lengths. Charlie Eastman was second.
Romp for Yankee Girl.
Yankee Girl, winner Of the City Park
Derby, won the fifth race in a rom2. The
purse was practically a gift to her after
Sir Toddington and Oberon, her most dan
gerous opponents, were withdrawn. Yam
kee Girl was again the medium of a heavy
plunge by her owner, Charley Ellison, who
backed her from to down to 2 to 5.
She was tangled up at the start and had to
be hustled along vigorously the first half
mile, but after that she beat her field with
out hard effort.
Jockey Gamers followers again had a
good day financially. He rode three win
ners-Spion, Colloquy and Yankee Girl. The
odds against the first-named were at one
time as high as to /. Colloquy and
Yankee Girls prices We're each less than
even money.
Judge Post was very sick horse yester-
day morning. and it is extremely doubtful
If he faces the starter in the Crescent City
Derby Saturday. His owner-trainer, Fred
Burlew, found Judge Post suffering from
acute indigestion, due to eating too much
California wheat hay.

Annr.niats the Worth OF Sleep.

The amount Of sleep required by a
person can be determined better by
the effects obtained than By the num-
Der OF hours consumed, for IL differs
greatly with age and the condition OF
health. Few fallacIes are more dan
gerous than that which is often adopt
ed by busy people. more especially by
those engaged in scientific or other
forms OF intellectual work, when they
assume that the duration OF sleep is
largely a matter Of convenience. The
harmfulness Of deficient sleep may not
reveal itself until the age OF decline
has been reached, but II will surely
hasten the decline.

Schopenhauer on Anonymity.

Anonymity is the refuge for all lit
erary and journalistic rascallty. II
is a practice which must be com
pletcly stopped. Every article, even in
a newspaper, should be accompanied
by the name Of its author, and the edi-
tor should he made strictly responsible
for the accuracy Of the signature. The
freedom Of the press should be thus far
restricted, SO that what man publicly
proclaims through the far sounding
trumpet Of the newspaper he should bc
answerable for, at anyerate with his
honor, If he has any, and. II he has
none, let his name neutraize the effect
OF his words. Rascal, your name. For
man TO wrap himself up and draw his
hat over his face and then fall upon
people who are walking about without
any disguise-ths is not the part OF a
gentleman; it is the part Of scoundre!
and knave.
