Determined op- neef,iou of race tracks and other in- ,ers,ts which he had antagonized dur jag his term as Governor seriously CDt the vote of Governor Hughes and his majority will from figures re- ceiyed at this writing be n0t more than .t,0eo and may fall under that figure At one time during receipt yetrns there was a swing for Chan Ter which made friends jGbilant. La Ter rpil!rns however wiped out hope and made clear that Governor Hughes will be elected by safe majority. Tn State Judge Taft in many instan- ces ran ahead of the great vote o1 President Roosevelt four years ago. Other cities ill the state however and the country districts did not out nulV bpr the Buffalo indications and i'll many cases a greater majority was given for Taft than had been given for Roosevelt

UNIQUE AQUATIC RACE,
With PROPOSES as Steeds, Set
for December.

According to the Independent, a
unique race will occur at st. Pc
tersburg sometime in December.
Several enterprising citizens met
last week, formed an organization
and adopted rules to govern the
race.
Among the rules adopted was
that the tow-ropes should not be
over go feet in length; that boats
must not be over 10 feet long and
that no boat with an engine or
sails could be entered.
Each man competing must har-
poon his porpoise and harness it,
and nothing but a straight bit will
be allowed. Spiked bits, or any
continuance to force speed will
not be permitted.
Our northern friends have, in
their trips across the bay from
Tampa, often witnessed a school
of porpoises seemingly lying mo-
tionless at the bow of the boat,
jet keeping pece with It. In the
porpoise race, the "water hogs"
are harpooned, bit placed in
their mouths, and from either
side rope extends to the boats.
At a given signal, the boats arc
released from anchorage, vessel
sets the pace and the race ia on.
Returning within mile of the
finishing buoy, baiters on the YES
sci excite the porpoises with hunks
of salt pork, and they break from
the vessel and pillow the seas at
lightning speed. The driver who
succeeds in guiding his Ieviathan
closest to the bouy, wins the prize.
Some will look on this article
skeptically, and will say that por-
poises cannot be trained. Any
one who knows that porpoises run
in schools can readily understand
that they are well learned in all
things nautical.

A Pest in New Work.

A despatch from New York
city says; Scarcely less grave
than the problems of handling this
harbor's sweeping influx of immi-
grants is the question Of dealing
with the alien hosts of sparrows
which is numbering many millions
as it settles down upon the streets
and parks of the metropolis for tho
winter season. Half century
ago handful of housesparrows,
imported from England, were let
loose in one of Gotham's church
yards, the only representatives Of
their race. Today the descend
ants of these baleful birds have
taken possession Of every outdoor
inch of the island, driving tho
native songsters from their field
of usefulness and stunning and do
fling every growth of che city's
rare vegetation. New York Las
found no use for the English spar
row and is mourning the loss on
the good American breeds which
he has ruthlessly driven away. To
teach every citizen to know and
value his own sparrows and other
birds, the National Association of
Audubon societies has just boguna
wide campaign of education from
this city. Every dweller in this
metropolis overridden by the for
eign pests is interested in this
latest movement of the tireless
Audubon workers.

The Printers MaledictiOn.

The following is taken from a
Paducah, KY, newspaper printed
in 1855:
An Editor thus addresses his
delinquents who are able to, but
will not pay up:
May he never be permitted to
kiss a pretty girl.
May he have sore eyes, and
chestnut burrs for an eyestone.
May his boots leak, his gun
hang fire, and his fish line break.
May one thousand nightmares
trot quarter races over his stomach
every night.
May he be shod with lightning,
and be compelled to wander over
gunpowder.
May the famine stricken ghost
of an editors baby haunt his Stun
bers.
May a troop of printers devils,
lean, lank and hungry, dog his
heels every day; and a regiment
OF cats caterwaul under his window
every night.
We heartily indorse the above,
and we hope our delinquenttS will
take warning and be governed ac-
cordingly, and pay up.

Lee County Monster.

A correspondent contributes to
the Fort Myers Press % story OF
an immense serpent lately seen
crossing the Caloosahatchee river
near Chokoloskee, and the Press
calls upon The HERALD to match
the story. As we have no big
snakes in this locality, The
HERALD gives it up and begs
to repeat what it said to Col. Tom
Appleyard, that ii is not an au-
thority on snakes; and as no one
in the Office drinks liquor, none of
us have had the pleasure of seeing
snakes.
But here is the narrative of the
Lee county serpent as it appeared
in last weeks Press;
Col. Demere and Erwin Lowe
came down from Needhelp last
Sunday, and report having seen
an immense snake swim the river
about two miles from here. They
say it appeared to be great log
on the water when they first saw
it, but they learned it was a snake
when they got to where it was, as
its tail was just leaving the water
on the south side of river, and its
head stood up four or five feet
high, twenty yards from the river,
and looked as large as a nail keg.
OF course the reptile must have
been between fifty and sixty feet
long, and its body looked about
the size of a -four barrel. Now
this looks fshy, but there is no
one in this section that would
doubt the veracity of either of
these gentlemen. We have since
learned that the Indians have told
of such a snake twenty years ago,
having been seen by them in a
certain swamp, and they always
kept away from that swamp.
This will give a good color to the
snake story. The serpent was
heading to the southeast, and will
possibly take up ia the first thick
swamp that suits his convenience.

Ocala Banner:--Hon. Don. 9.
McMullen, senator elect from
Hillsborough county, is studying
the''guarantee bank deposit plank"
in the Democratic platform with ~
view of having it enacted into II
law in Florida. To one who hos
gone through two or three bank
failures, as has been the ill-luck Of
the editor of this paper, the law
looks mighty good indeed; il has
a more inviting look and n
sweeter flavor than peaches and
cream. Had it been u law in
Florida all along, many q man
would have been many u dollar
better of and, instead of deposit
ing in tin cans, hollow trees aud
bed ticking, these deposits wouid
have found their way to the banks
and entered into the channels Of
trade. 1t seems to us that it IL
the best law ever suggested.

Lakeland News:-THE PUNTA
GoRDA HERALD makes u plaintive
plea to school teachers, beseeching
them to teach the children TO write
the English language correctly
and TO write It plainly. 1t adds:
Manuscripts sent to The HERALD
show that, for forty years past, this
duty of teachers has been utterly
neglected" This is a painful
truth, confirmed by our constant
experience. The other day a high
school graduate was attempting to
write a few lines for this paper,
and he was bopelessly at a loss
which of the three words "to,"
"too," or "two," he should use in
a certain connection. We are
afraid that in many of our schools
too much attention is paid to the
superficial and ornamental ac-
quirements, to the exclusion of
more solid subjects.
