reflection.
Gives the Boys Full Credit
1T may be a moot point whether
native jockeyship shows a decline
though in view of accomplished facts
there appears some reason for think
ing it does; but It cannot, at all
events, be denied that Maher and
Woolon have achieved distinction
on their own merits, and they are
likely, apparently, to hold their own
for an almost indefinite time.
"Maher has gathered many laurels,
and gilt edged laurels to boot. since
in the autumn of ten years ago he
crossed the Atlantic for England, and
never, surely, was q more suspicious
venture undertaken. Apart from its
profitable side, his sojourn among us
has been fruitful in various ways.
He has never come into collision with
nor been under the ban of the turf
authorities; he has struck up quite
friendship with the racing commun-
ity here and has kept that friend
ship in good repair: he has always
inspired confidence and. taking a
straightforward track, followed it
throughout.
Altogether he now finds himself
in most enviable ease and from a pro-
fessional standpoint no jockey prob
ably was ever SO we'll placed. He
can boast the patronage of some of
the most prominent and respected Of
the patrons of the turf, under what
may be regarded as almost princely
conditions as to pay, and enjoys the
confidence Of all and sundry."

Gov Haskell's signing the bill
which locates the capital of Oklahoma
at Oklahoma City settled the ques-
ton of the permanent site of Okla
homa's capital, which has been a
question of politics and business ever
since Oklahoma was thrown open to
settlement. Probably no state in the
union has made so great progress in
the years it has been a unit of the
United States as Oklahoma.
ION April 81. 1889, Oklahoma was
opened to settlement" said Cash Caid,
Republican national committeeman of
Oklahoma 1T consisted at that time
of seven counties, very small part
of what the present state comprises,
or even of what Oklahoma territory
was. The original counties were
Kingfisher, Canadian, Cleveland, Ok
lahoma, Logan, Payne and Beaver, the
latter known as NO Mans Land. We
had no law.
1.-THE country was opened and we
had merely provisional city govern
ments. We appointed our own officers
and raised our own revenues. Each
town had its own law, but, of course,
we were subject to the general law
of the United States, which was en-
forced by the United States marshal.
This condition lasted until congress
gave us the right to organize under
the territorial government in 1890.
Gov. Steele Of Indiana, was our
first governor. Shortly after his ap-
pointment the legislature met and
passed bill locating the capital at
Oklahoma City, but Gov. Steele vetoed
the measure. Another bill of the leg
islature fixed the capital at Kingfish-
err and again the bill was vetoed.
When, by the enabling act We were
given the privilege Of statehood, the
capital was fixed at Guthrie, where
it had been since Oklahoma became a
territory. and it was provided that it
should remain there until 1918. Gov.
Haskell did not believe the enabling
act was binding upon the state, and
favored a bill under the initiative and
referendum, making change of the
site. Three cities made a bid for the
capital-Shawnee, Guthrie and Okla
homa City. and Oklahoma City won
by majority of $4,000. The case was
taken 10 Cilc supreme COuEI VI Itlc
state on the appeal Of Guthrie. and
the court decided that there were ir-
Irregularities, which in effect nullified

legislature. and this legislature def
nately located the capital at Oklaho-

DANNY MAHER'S
REAL BEGINNING
He Rode Kinnikinic to Victory
at Bennington Course-Is
Now q Millionaire

When Danny" Maher was thrown
into the saddle carried by the brown
horse Kinnikinic, at Benning track.
Washington, some twelve or thirteen
years ago no one thought that the lit
tie, brown-eyed lad would be the
premier jockey of England, and, one
might say, the world.
In those days he was a little chap,
to whom everybody seemed to take
a liking. From that victory on Kin
nikinic. Maher rapidly arose to fame
that will live in turf history as long
as turf records are preserved. The
name of Maher will be linked with
those of the great Fired" Archer,
George Fordham, TON" Cannon and,
lest it be forgotten, the greatest jock
ey that ever rode horse, in the es-
timation of all American horsemen-
Isaac Murphy. g
While he was engaged by the late
William Clarke, who tried to win the
classics of the American turf by buy
ing the best horses obtainable, he was
accused by his employer of pulling
up Bannister in the Suburban handi-
cap Immediately after the start was
made. There was always differ
ence of opinion regarding the accus-
iation, but MIR. Clarke was SO posi-
tive in his belief that he kept Maher
on the ground for several months, not
permitting him to ride race.
Had A Bad Temjer Then
Perhaps Mr.. Clarke had good rea-
sons for his action, and maybe it was
not the fault of Maher, who had a
very bitter temper in those days. and
would beat a horse severity If it did
not act according to his will. This
was such a common occurance with
Maher that he was fined and set down
more than once for the offense. At
Brighton Beach he lost many Of his
friends and admirers because he beat
q horse over the head with his whip
when the animal was beaten in the
sixth race of the day, the other five
having been won by the now celebrat-
ed jockey.
From a poor little chap at Hart
ford, Danny" Maher is reported to-
day to be worth nearly $1,000,000.
Much Of this he has made riding
horses, more came from handsome
presents, and the remainder, 1t is
ClGlUQGu, Ids USCA w
good financial investments, brought
about through the friendships Maher
holds with some Of the peers and fin
anciers of England.
That the little Hartford boy is we'll
thought of in England is CLEANED from
the following taken from the London
Sporting Life, in an article on the
success of jockeys riding in England.
"No exaggeration is involved in
writing that the Jockeys who have at
tracted the lions share of public at
tention during the last few years are
Danny" Maher and Frank Wooton.
It seems strange that man from
America and boy from the anti
podes should occupy such a position
when we recall the names Of British
ers like Fred Archer, George Ford
ham, Tom Cannon, Mornington Can
non, the brotherb Loates, John Os-
borne. and a great many others who
sustained the reputation Of this coun-
