A number of racing me ting in an uptown hote! o leW “Venines since. says the New son, and one of party, been abroad in com with planger, when that tiade his second trip to land, told how near ths American came to creating a sensation which would have :nade the country ring frona one end to the

jockey,” Walton and his friends $h- 000,000 and this is how it all happene on Walton hal in his steble among othe
hi Mr. Pickwick, Sutler and the 3 year old Lopefal, which he still owns and hus in the stud somewhere near
New York. We had been winning our share of the money, both on our own horses and on those of other owners and the season had opened up in the most propitious fashion. All of the Ameri- can contingent took advice fr:an ‘Petie,’ as we called Walton, and we had made the ring wince several times en settling day. Sherwood, who trained for Walton, had a very high opinion of Hopeful, and wanted to run him in a stake race, but we begged him to hold off and pick out a selling event instead, and prepared to a coud that wouid be talked about for months to After the City and Suburban run we ran back to London, and from there took the train to Epsom, where our horses were quartered. It Was our purpose to deceive everybody as to our intentions, and that morning the horses were brought ont, trotted and centered, and carefully put away, as though they had had-all their work for that day. Inthe afternoon, when the Downs were deserted, Hopeful and Sutler were brought out company with Richmond, a high-class horse, then trained by Sherweol but afterwards bought by Walton end brought to this country, running third in Poutiac’s Su burban. The trial was a great success and showed us that Hopeful was agrand three-year old, of quality sufficiently high to win many stakes for race horses of! tichmond beat him about a length, and the three year old beat Sntler away off; in fact we were in high feather and considered the money we intended to place Hopeful in the coming race as good a3 won.
“Racing in England is vastly different from the sport in this country, and the great public knows far less about the inerits of the horses than they do in America Horses run fewer races, are trained privately, and sometimes are not seen in public for months together. As a consequence form is much harder to follow, and those who have a bottied- up good thing and know how to guard their secret get a price that is at times astonishingly good. We were amazed to get as good as 10 to 1 against Hope ful, and the strangest part of it all was that the more we bet the more the ring seemed capable of absorbing. We told our jockey (1 won't niention his name, but he was a good one in his day, and most of you know him) that we stood to win a fortune and to take no chances. From the start Hopefal was in a good position, and after making a splendid turn at Tottenham Corner we began to cheer, for our chestnut beauty was striding along in front and moving over the turf in magnificent style. A hun- dred yards from the finish we were exuiting in our triumph, and fifty yards from the line nothing but a miracle could keep us _ from getting the money. Whips were flying behind us and{our colt was stillin hand, When I tl hink of w hat happened then I grow faint and want to swear. Our jockey, with the insane desire of showing what a good thing it was, took a pull at Hopeful’s head, the great, long- striding colt became tangled and was thrown off his stride. Webb was on the nearest of his competitors, and he had all but given up riding, but, like the great horseman that he is, he gath- ered his horse, and, by one of the grand. est efforts I've ever seen, nailed Hope- fnl and beat him on the post. I went broke over the race, but nothing could stay Walton's luck that day, for despite his losses on the race he quit the day $36,000 to the good. What would he have won if our jockey hadn't blunder- ed? Fully $1,000,000; and the entire story of his life might have been chang ed. Had he got that much money to- gether they never could have made him surrender. 1’ll never forget what Webb said after the race. It was this: ‘The over-weight beat you!” pointing to his upper lip, which, like all of England's jockeys, was clean shaved, Our man had a monstache.” <

Endurance of Indian Runners,
An Indian has been known to carry a letter from Guazapares to Chihuahua and back again in five days, the dis- tance being nearly 800 miles. In some parts where the Tarahumaris serve the Mexicans they are used to run in the wild horses, driving them into corral: it may take them two or three days to do it, sleeping at night and living on a lit- tle pinole. They bring in the horses thoroughly exhausted, while they them- selves are still fresh. They will outrun any horse if you give them time enough. They will pursue deer in the snow, or with dogs, in the rain, for days and days, until at last the animal is corner- ed and shot with arrows. or falls an easy prey from sheer exhaustion, its hoofs dropping off.—Scribner's.

Probably there is not a woman fn the world to-day whose name is more familiar than that of Sarah Bern- hardt; she needs no introduction to the Canadian pcople, therefore, we will simply quote what she has writ- ten about ‘Vin Mariani’: ‘I have been delighted to find “Vin Mariani’ in all ihe large cities of the United States, and it has, as always, largely helped to give me that strength so necessary in the performance of the arduous duties which I havé imposed upon myself. I never fail te praise its vir- tues to all my friends, and I heartily congratulate you upon the success which you so well deserve.’
Pr. Cyrus Edson, chief of Tlealth Department, New York, says that in casos of influenza (La Grippe) where patients suffer with high fever and ecetarrh in the head, the most e“ectual remedy is the generous dif- fusible tonic ‘Vin Mariani.’ All gro- cers and druggists keep it, but if you shorld find it at your dealers oe direct to Lawrence A.

One morning a banker stepped inte his office and most effusively vreeted his bookkeeper, who had entered his ser- vices just twenty five years before, at the same time handing hm a closed en- velope with the remark:—‘*This is to serve You as a memento of the present occasion.” The grateful recipient did not venture at first to open the envel- ope, until encouraged to Go so by a nod and a smile from his employer. And what do you think it contained? ~The banker’s photograph—that, and nothing more. ‘The bookkeeper was duinb.

The tramp had solicited a contribution from a well-dressed man on the street and had received a nickel. He looked at it askance and mumbled a very poor ‘*Thank you, sir.”
“What's the matter with you?’ in- quired the donor.
“Nothink much, sir.”
“Well, what are you are mumbling about? Didn't I give you some money?”
“Yes, sir; a nickel,”
“You ought to be thankful for it, then.”
“Oh, Tam,” said the tramp, sarcasti- caliy; “but when a man with a 25-cent
thirst upon him runs up ag’in a nickel you don't expect him to waller in en- thusiasm,
do you?” Jie Knew His Limit.
The tramp had applied at the kitchen door, and a slim maid had appeared.
