Lee is strictly a Southern product.
He was born in Graceland, La,
twenty years ago, where his father
and mother are still living. The adj
vantages of the country life gave him
the opportunity of riding a great deal
as a mere boy, and his fondness for
horses grew into a desire to become a.
jockey. Six years ago Lee started
his career at the Crescent City track,
New Orleans, where for time he
was engaged in exercising horses.
His marked ability in handling the
thoroughbreds attracted the notice Of
the horsemen and he was given an
occasional mount, and each success
sive. year he has been gaining in pro
ficiency and has earned for himself
the title OF "The Black Demon an
appellation that is appropriate in view
Of his remarkable performances last
week.
Lee is quiet unassuming Negro
boy, and his great success is attrib-
uted to his good Judgment in rating a
horse, his fearless riding in tight
places and his temperate habits and
strict attention to business. He is
under contract to J. B. ('Rome'9
Respess, of Coyington, but has been
riding as free lance, as Respess has
no horses in training at the Downs.
and from his past performances it
looks as if Respess has the best rider
in the country to-day. Joseph De
Wees in HopSinsyille Morning News.

EASY SQUEEZE.

Should the Negro ball players OF
to-day continue to swat the horsehide
as they are doing now, they will be
heard of the world over, as were the
men of the fistic art. Below is what
some of the real ones are doing.
The Philadelphia Giants, who have
been playing since early season are
down to playing form. They have
accomplished the following: Phila-
delphia Giants 3; frankfort, 0. Bat
ferries Mcclellan and Pet
way; Frankford: Mueller and Hare
lit is to be remembered that Petway
is Nashville boy)
The Leland Giants, of the East, and
the Logan Squares met a few days
ago. The Leland Giants, an all-Negro
team, defeated the Logan Squares, a
mixed aggregation, with such a IA
vorite parsonage as Mike Donlip, of
the New York Nationals, in the line
up; but "Rube" Foster struck him out
just as he did any Of the other light
er hitters. The score will tell the
rest: Logans, 3 and Lelands 6. The
Leland Giants will possibly continue
to win until they meet the Philadel-
phia Giants, who are thought to con-
stitute the strongest team.
The Philadelphia Giants record of
last season, whose color is the only
barrier between them and the big
leagues, played las games with the
best teams of the East and West. OF
these they won 1903, lost 81, and tied
6, a record hard to beat.

The Jockey.

The wonderful performance OF
Jockey Lee last week has never been
e1fdled before, nor PROBABLY evef vim

Should you have placed 500 on his
first mount you would have $3.50

Well, you say, l will go him once
more, can't lose but 500 anyway. So
tbs time place your late fortune on
Woolstone at IL to and you have
$3.50. OF course you never had any
thing and don't want anything; just
put all on Alencon at to snow y0u
think of quitting with $18,018. Dut
his next mount looks better than all,
so you say, Let me have that at IL to
10, this time you pull down $37,S36.
After being crazy for about 80 min
utes you will say there is only one
more go and that is between lot of
dogs and race horse with ]. Lee up,
so let her go, yes, all that l have at Z

just $170,242, and l go home, never

above record, brought The Abbott

lengths in front, while five others
also ran.

The days of Peter Jackson and Joe
'Walcott are passed, but we still have
with us such good ones as Jack John
son and Joe Cans.
1t is too bad to think that all the
heavyweights have drawn the color
line. That Of course knocks out
Johnson. As to Cans, he must let
white lighters of his class draw up
all the articles, after which there is
hardly chance for a gorilla, much
less lightweight Negro man, but at
that, when he accepts he usually puts
his man to sleep.

GIANTS AT HOME.

The Standard Giants Baseball team
has returned home after a stay of
three weeks touring the South. Their
first two games were lost to Mem
phis. The boys left home somewhat
discouraged, having started out with
out Bowman ad Petway, their best
slabmen. Recognizing this handicap,
they played excellent ball in Missis-
sippi with the Holly Springs team.
The game was complete walkover
for the Nashville boys and encour-
aged them enough to clean up all
they went against thereafter.

Coming Thro' the Rye" has been class
ed among te very greatest drawing
cards of this country, and IL must pos
sess conspicuous merit TO have earned
that classification. From all accounts
the author, George V. Hobart, has writ
ten a genuinely good comedy which tells
a highly amusing story, and which con
tains incidents and situations of the
kind which compel unrestrained merri-
ment. All Of the newspaper reviews
al the performance, which have come to
hand, tell Of audiences screaming with
laughter and vigorously applauding and
hugely enjoying the beauties Of the
satorial equipment Of the production.
The musical score, which waA supplied
by a. Baldwin Sloane, IS said to con-
tain many delightful melodies of the
kind which instantly become popular.
The presenting company is one of tnose
large assemblages of talented comedians,
vocalists and dancers and in which
chorus figures conspicuously.
In view of these circumstances, the
famous musical comedy should, and

realistic reflex of Irish life in America,
entitled "Fhe Golden Rule has won the
distinction Of being the representative
Irish comedian Of the American stage.
The language to which he was born and
whose fuency shaped his speech is the
language Of Irish comedy. The vivacity
OF action, the cordial grace of manner
and the sense Of numor which arc the
heritage Of his brilliant countrymen, he
has inherited to such degree as TO fit
him peculiarly for those Irish characters
which by their wit, delicaey and humor
appeal TO the intelligence Of refined
theatre-goers. Being to the manner
born, Mr. SILLY can give the proper color
ing and effect and creates a character
ization such as will command attention
and respect. In "The Golden RULE he
has a role peculiarly fitted to bis talents
in their best light. He holds the mirror
up to nature in such a manner as to
reflect the best traits of a nation which
has been earicatured heretofore in most
stage productions.

beadle who performed it had filed his
left hand with red ochre, through which
after every stroke he drew the lash OF
the whip, leaving the appearance Of a
wound upon the skin, but in reality not
hurting him at an. This being perceiv-
ed BY Constable Hineheomb, who fol-
lowed the beadle, he applied his cane
without any such management or pre-
caution to the shoulders of the too
merciful executioner.
The scene Immediately became more
interesting. The beadle could by no
means be prevailed upon to strike hard,
which provoked the constable to strike
harder, and this double logging contin-
ued till lass Of Silver End, plying the
pitiful beadle, thus suffering under the
hands of the pitiless constable, joined

by the capillary club, and pulling him
backwards by the same, slapped his
face with a most amazonian fury
