national commission Monday morning.
and 1t ends what was expected to be
celebrated case in base ball. The check
covered the penalty imposed upon the
New York club In November because the
Giants under the leadership Of Manager
McGraw refused to play an exhibition
game with the Philadelphia Athletics at
New Orleans last March. The Gotham
ties objected to the umpiring OF Chief.
Limmer The New Orleans and Philadel-
phia clubs presumably were damaged by
this rebellious act of the Giants and on
the testimony offered the national COM
mission assessed the fine OF 81 900 against
the New York club. AS the Giants man
the national commission at it's meeting
here last week prodded Mr. Brush and his
associates a bit. with the result the check
was rushed to Cincinnati post haste.
There was no trouble In the mind OF
the national commission that Mr. Brush
would liquidate his little penalty" said
Chairman Hermann of the national COM
mission. There simply was feeling
that perhaps he had overlooked the mat
ter, and in order to remind him that the
fine had not been paid we notified him
again. AS far back as the annual meet
ing OF the National League in December
Mr.. Brush spoke to me about the fine and
said he would settle the matter as soon
as he had chance to look over the docu-
ments that had been submitted In the
controversy. He subsequently became ILL.,
and that probably prevented him taking
up the matter earlier. Now it's all settled
and everybody is happy"

SURPRISES SPRUNG
AT NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS, January 1.-THE
advent on the racing scene yesterday OF
Louis A. Celia. the principal stock
holder of the Fair Grounds track, and
the announcement that John Condor
would arrive today in time 10 attend
the annual meeting of the Crescent
City Jockey Club, caused sensational
changes to be made regarding the pol
icies of the two jockey clubs here.
1t was authoritatively announced that
beginning next Monday the old system
OF betting-the booths. the stationary
blackboards on which to mark the odds
and tickets as vouchers of bets made
would be resumed. Both the City Park
and the Fair Grounds tracks are
public system of betting. which for
years has been In operation in this
city. The personal method of betting
such as is in vogue in New York was
inaugurated when the meetings began
this fall, and has been in force until
now Racegoers had scarcely recovered
from this sensation when the report
was made that Matt Winn. the general
manager of the two tracks. had re-
signed. The reason for his resignation
could not be definitely ascertained. but
1t was reported that he objected to
the proposed return of the old betting
methods and that when he was over
ruled by Celia and the other oficials
John Hockmeister will probably sue
ceed Winn as manager.
The presence of Celia seemed to lend
speed to the legs of his filly A-ionette.
and she made amends for her previous
disappointments by winning the open
ing scramble. She was backed by her
owner from to l down to ) to J..
She led from start to finish.

rite for the fifth race, was interrogated

Mrs. George F. Millett and two chill
dren met with serious accident Sun
day afternoon a short distonce from
town, while on their way to visit Mrs.
c. NJ. Bond, who is a sister in law
of Mrs. Millett.
They had almost reached the rail-
road crossing when the fastening hold
ing the shafts to the front axle sudden
ly broke leaving only one of the shafts
still connected. This caused the vehi-
Gle to swing to one side, which fright
ened the animal, and he ran for some
distance. overturning the buggy and
throwing the occupants underneath.
They fell in the top and were dragged
in this manner for several yards, until
finally rolling out. they were left one
after another, along the roadside. The
little two-year- old daughter sustained
severe injuries of the hip. The mother
and hahY-boy escaped with a few
bruises and scratches. They were TAX

Defamation 0RAT0RY
AND ESSAY. WRITING
The Results of the Inter- society Con-
tests at the Tempe Normal Last
Might.

The inter society contests at the
normal last evening attracted a large
attendance of the residents of Tempe
and vicinity. The events of the even
ing were especially interesting to the
normal students AS the contestants
represented the two different. normal
societies. During the progress of the
contests and previous to the opening
of the evenings program, there was
fierce, but good nature, rivalry be-
tween the two societies; banners and
flags waved and society yelis and
songs were rampant
The debate occupied the early part
of the program, the question being:
Resolved; that the United States
navy should be increased until it is
the equal in efficiency of any foreign
power" The affirmative was ably
handled by Maurice Blome
and Ovillah Rush, representing the
Olympian. society The negative side
of the question was argued by Dan
Hartnett and Agnes Perry, represent
ing the Philomathfan society.
This feature of the program was fol-
lowed by the contests in Defamation,
oratory and essay writing. In the
first named Miss Mary Corbell repre-
scented the Olympian and Miss Lulu
Heating. the Philomethian. In grafton
Halbert Miller represented the Philo-
nathan and eJsse Clifford the Olym-
plan. In essay, writing the Phfioma-
thian's contestant was Miss Marcia
Carter and. the Olympian's Miss Eliza
Lorona
The judges were Hon. Sims Ely,
Mrs. Dane Coolidge. Hon. ]. F. Cleave-
land, Mrs. A. E. Cook, Rev. w. II.
Campbell, Harrison Conrad and L. w.
Lesueur. -
Following an extended conference of
the judges. Hon. Sims Ely announced
the decision that had been reached.
The Philomathians made clean
sweep of the debate, Miss Perry being
awarded the individual Moeur medal.
The Olympians came to the front in
defamation. Miss Corbell being
awarded the medal. The Olympians
were also successful in oratory, Mr.
Clifford being the winner. In essay
writing Miss Marcia Carter, Philoma-
THAN, was awarded the prize. Thus
it is seen that the Philomathians got
a little the best OF the evenings con-
test, winning three events to the
Olympians' two.

A DAY TO BE REMEMBERED.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
l notice in The Republican this
morning a communication from one
who styles himself "An Old Timer" in
which he takes issue with my state
ment about the weather during the
month of June, 1879, % years ago. My
recollection of the facts is perfectly
clear, although the day of the month
stated in the article in your issue of
June 9Th, is erroneous, and was not
corrected by me. for the reason that |
did not suppose there would be any
controversy about the matter. Between
the 10th and 18th of June. 1879. myself
and my husband took trip in the
country and visited his brother and
also my father, Mr.. H. H. Linville
Mr.. MonihOn wore an Overcoat and
wore a heavy wrap. They had string
beans and other garden truck at both
places, as such stuff can be grown in
this country the year round by people
who have the industry to look after it.
and the fact that Mr.. "OId Timer
thinks it can't, shows his lack of
knowledge of the conditions in this
valley, and it may be that his recol-
lection of dates is as faulty as his
knowledge of the resources and pos
sibilities of this country 1t will be
thirty-two years next September since
first came to this valley, and my
recollection is perfectly clear about the
weather in the month of June, twenty
nine years ago, and l need no data or
memoranda to refresh my memory on
account of the facts above stated 1
did not wish to start any controversy
about the matter, but simply gave you
the information as a matter of news
and | still stay with it and am not
afraid to sign my name.
Very truly yours,
MRS. ]. d. MONIHON.
