He'won many races, and his venture did much towards making the American trotter popular in those countries Mr. Mackay is also Interested In cross-country racing, and recently purchased Banastar, a Brooklyn Handicap winner, for $11,000. With this horse he hoped to capture the Auteuil hurdle, the greatest race of the French turf, worth $20,000 to the winner. Another well-known man who has horses running in England is August Belmont. His-Bridegroom II wan considered a Derby possibility last year.

Mr. Belmont has a few good racers in training now, and every now and then a stake falls to his stable. The other Americans who are racing abroad are professional horsemen, men who make their living out of the turf. They are Enoch Wishcrd, William Duke, Edward Corrigan and John McDonald? John McDonald' has but two or three horses running abroad now. His best Is Rensselaer, who ran second In the Realization here before he was taken to England.

Rensselaer's best race was run in Germany, where he won the West Baden Cup, one of the prizes of the Germa turf. Messrs. Duke and Wlshard, until recently, were partners, racing their own horses and training for Richard Croker. When they separated Wlshard retained the Croker stable, which contains some of the best horses on the English turf. Mr.

Croker has probably spent more money on his English stable than any other American racing abroad. Among his horses are Americus and Merry Gal. Ed. Corrigan Is the latest man to take a stable to England. He won his first race early In September, and since has taken one or two plates.

His stable contains but one high-class horse, Geyser. No story of American turfmen in England would be complete without a few words about the world's greatest trainer, John Huggins, who first went abroad to train for Pierre Lorillard, at a salary said to be in the neighborhood of $50,000 a year. In addition, he receives a percentage of the winnings of the stable. Huggins trained for Lord William Beresford and Pierre Lorillard as a firm, and when they dissolved Huggins still continued to train for them. The Career Of A Star Jockey.

Sloan was born In Indiana August 10, 1873. He attended school at Logansport until he was 15 years old. He rode in the West for years, then In the East. In 1897 he went to England, where at first he was laughed at; then he became a source of wonder, and now he is an object of worship. In the English Derby of last year Sloan rode on the French horse Holocauste, who was made favorite, but an accident destroyed his chances of winning.

This year Sloan was luckier. He rode James R. Keene's Domino colt, Disguise II, who finished third, Diamond Jubilee, the Prince of Wales' horse, winning. Sloan also rode Sibola, Mr. Lorillard's good filly, in the Oaks, finishing second.

The Oaks is to the fillies what the Derby Is to the colts. Not long ago Sloan rode and won a race for the Prince of Wales, the highest honor that can come to a jockey in England. One of Sloan's greatest victories was on Mrs. Langtry's Merman, for the Goodwood Cup. The race was worth $20,000, and Merman was not thought to have a chance.

Sloan's fee for riding this race was $5,000. Last summer William C. Whitney paid Sloan $10,000 to come to New York to ride Ballyhoo Bey in the Futurity. Sloan came, and rode the colt to victory. He afterwards rode Ballyhoo Bey in the Flatbush Stakes, and won that.

He rode six races while here and won four of them. Sloan's fees in 1899 amounted to nearly $75,000. He is said to have won as much more In wagers and also to have picked up something like $60,000 In Wall street. Altogether he is said to have made more than four times the salary of President McKInley. As a matter of fact, Sloan Is probably the greatest jockey that ever lived.

Others have excelled him In some respects, but no other, jockey has won so many races on so many different kinds of horses. Last year Sloan's percentage of victories made him the leading jockey of England. This year he is led by another American, little Johnny Reiff. The standing of the leading jockeys in England to September 13 was as follows: Jockeys. Mounts.

Won. P.C J. Reiff (American) 239 82 .27 Sloan (American) 216 66 .264 L. Reiff (American) 291 75 .234 273 55 .200 F. Rickaby 312 59 S.

Loates 423 78 .183 Rigby (American) 210 38 .181 Martin (American) 185 31 .173 O. Madden 395 59 .124 K. Cannon 314 37 .118 Johnny Reiff leads the jockeys both in the number of winning mounts and in the percentage of victories. Sloan stands second and Lester Reiff third, while all the Americans are well up. Since September 13 Lester Reiff has won enough races to place him at the head of the list.

Maher has made a very successful debut, winning three races the first, and four the second day. Jenkins has also been returned a winner, and Freeman has won races in France, where Cash Sloan, a cousin to Tod, is the leading rider. Little Johnny Reiff, the leading jockey, Is the turf wonder of the age. He has surpassed Sloan, and the English horsemen look upon him In amazement. Johnny Is but 14 years old.

After winning a race worth thousands, for which he has received a fee that would be a year's salary for many men who think they are doing well, the little fellow may be found in the paddock playing his favorite game of marbles with some other youngsters. In July he rode Merry Gal In the Princess of Wales' Stakes, and won, giving Diamond Jubilee his only beating this year. For this victory the little fellow received $5,000. This only added zest to the game of marbles that he played five minutes afterwards. Last year the Reiff brothers made about $40,000 between them.

This season they were engaged to ride for Richard Croker for $20,000. Enoch Wlshard has second call on their services. It is estimated that this year they have cleared in outside fees about $170,000, and before it closes their fees and salary will make their income pass the $200,000 mark. Influence Of Women On Men. In an article in the Saturday Evening Post entitled "The Young Man Out of Business Hours" Senator Beveridge has the following to say about the influence of women on young men: "There Is positively nothing of such value to young menyes, and to old men, too as the chastening and powerful Influence for good which women bring into their lives.

I should be the ast man in the world to suggest that a young man should keep himself 'tied to his mother's apron as Is the saying of the people, and this is not what I mean when I earnestly suggest that he keep as close to his mother's opinions, teachings and Influence as the circumstances of life will permit. The same thing, of course, may be said with reference to a man's wife even more strongly, if possible. But the conversation and opinion of any good woman are, as a practical matter and a measure of worldly wisdom, simply beyond price. She is wise with that sublimated reason called 'woman's "There is, too, a human quality kept alive and growing In your character by woman's association and Influence that, as a matter of business power in meeting the world and Its problems, Is far and away beyond the value of the craft of the trickiest gamester'' of affairs and business and politics who ever lived. It is a saying of the farmer folks among whom I was raised that such and such a person 'has meaning that the person so described is upright, trustworthy, judicious that such a person's attitude toward God and man and the world is correct.

"Women have principle in precisely the sense in which that term is used by the country people. They will keep you true to the order of things to the constitution of the universe. They will do this, npt so much by preaching at you as by the Influence of their very personality. The man who has gotten out of touch with womankind is not to be feared. He is to be pitied rather than feared, for he is out of harmony with the world he is disarmed.

No matter how. large his mind and great his courage, he is neutralized for all natural, proper-proportioned, and therefore enduring effort. "I know a physician who, still young, has reached the head of his profession in this country. Sundays and the evenings with his wife and children are not enough for him. He takes Wednesdays also.

Precisely this same thing is done by the great young captain of finance and affairs whom I described first in this paper as being a total abstainer. This Is not done for the rest It gives these men, or, If It is done for that, it is not the greatest benefit they get out of it. They come back to their work with clearer and stronger conceptions of human character and of trutlf in the abstract and the concrete, with which all men, no matter what their profession or business may be, must deal. They have a new tenderness, a larger tolerance, a broader vision of life and humanity, and, therefore, of their business, which is merely a phase of life and affairs."

Seeks Protection For A Road. A letter was received by the County Commissioners from Mr. W.

W. Abell In which he says: It is not my desire- to interfere with or prevent modern ideas from being put into usage or in any way thwart up-to-date methods and improvements of private indivduals. There are, however, certain restraining Influences which should be brought to bear whenever private concerns attempt to impose upon the "public and the property of the public In this connection it is my desire to call your immediate attention to the laying cf water pipes on Wbodbourno avenue. A line of pipe is now being laid much nearer the center of the roadbed than there seems to be occasion for. The avenue is in excellent condition, due to the fact, I am informed, that twenty-odd thousand dollars was expended in macadamizing and otherwise improving it.

This being the condition, I trust you gentlemen will see to it that if the road is to be torn up whoever is responsible wfll put it in as good condition as it was before the pipe-laying began. In putting it in condition the stone roller should be used and the earth and stone returned to the ditch, so that we will not have the mud and dust on the top and the stone beneath the surface of the roadbed. What applies to Woodbourne applies to other avenues and roads throughout the county where private corporations desire to use public property at the expense of the taxpayers. The Commissioners Chief Clerk James E. Green to notify those who are having the pipe laid that the County Commissioners direct that Woodbourne avenue be put in exactly as good condition as it was before the avenue was disturbed for the purpose of pipe-laying.

O'BRIEN IS NOT REINSTATED Knotty Point As To Amateur Drfrr-Sng Mar Pro-re A Serious Setback For Non-Professional Matinees. New York, Dec. 4. A Baltimore case was decided today by the National Trotting Association board of review. James O'Brien, alias James Reed, asked for the removal of.

an order of expulsion Imposed by the board December 12. 1899. O'Brien stated that John Ramsay and Dr. Dunphy, who owned the horse Dandy engaged him to go to Baltimore In 1899 and drive the horse in a race. When he got there the horse had been entered as Doctor whereupon O'Brien refused to drive him.

Mr. Ramsay, he said, told him that he would either drive the horse or walk home, to Lynn, Mass. O'Brien says he was compelled to drive the horse as he had no vioney. After he had won the race Mr. itamsay, he said, induced him to present himself as James Reed, so he conld get the purse.

He gave the money to Ramsay and only received his expenses, he said. Reinstatement was refused. The members of the National Trotting 'Association met at the Murray Hill Hotel for a session of several days. President P. P.

Johnson, of Lexington, Ky. acted as chairman and W. H. Gocher, of Hartford, as secretary. The members of the board present were: President Johnson, Secretary Gocher, C.

D. Palmer, of Lowell, George W. Archer, Rochester; Russell Allen, Pittsfleld, David Bonner and John H. Shults, of New city, and E. Blake, of Cedar Rap-Ids, Iowa.

Be Careful In Questioning-. In the case In which John Kopp Bro of Owensboro, made an application for the record made by Jean Ingelow at Louisville September 27, 1809. It appeared that the owner had bought the mare at a private sale in Louisville and entered her In several races throughout the State, whien he won easily, as he entered her as without a mark, he having bought her as having no mark. He later received an anonymous letter saying that the horse had made a record of 2.2714 In a wagon race at Louisville September 27, 1S99, and that the record was published In the record book. He inquired If the book was complete, as no record of Jean Ingelow appeared.

The board ruled that she had made the record mentioned and that It was left out of the year book by mistake and that the owner should have asked for the record of Jean Ingelow, instead of asking if the book was complete. AY. II. Bailey, vice-president of the Louisville Driving Association, asked for the removal of the association's fine of $650, imposed for failing to report the fines and suspensions made by judges In 1S99. on the ground that the secretary, Frank Kinney, had erred through Ignorance and had acted independently.

Application denied. This Hits The Amateurs. Harry K. Devereaux. of the Cleveland Driving Club, asked for a ruling as to whether a matinee record, made at such times as the owner does not trot for a trophy or a purse which is to become his own personal property, but that of the club of which he is a member and subject to challenge, shall stand on the books as a bar against the horse winning such an event.

He stated as the challenge cup offered by the Boston Club was won by his horse John A. McKerron at the Readvllle track and the cup is the property of the Cleveland Driving Club, of which he is a member, and subject to challenge, he thought It would be wrong to penalize his horse, as he did not compete for a wager or a prize or purse and no entrance fee was charged, and it would be a serious setback to amateur driving. The board did not arrive at a decision. S. Lyman asked release from a fine Imposed by the judges of the Empire track September 14.

1900. He said he drove a horse without hobbles for the first time and carrying unaccustomed weights and that he was compelled to pull in order to keep the horse from breaking. Application denied. Two Front Same Stable. F.

A. Cobb won third money In a race at Stoneboro. with Lucy Posey. Leila Brooks was first and Dakota Dan second. Both belong to Butler McLaughlin.

Mr. Cobb contended that under rule 9 two horses from the same stable could enter the same race. Butler McLaughlin contended that it was a special and that it had been agreed that they could start both horses. Secretary Fowler, of the Stone-boro track, testified that It was a regular race. The board decided that the money should be equally divided between the other contestants entitled to the race.

Leila Brooks and Dakota Dan had no right to enter the same race. B. T. Birney, of Elmira, N. against the bay mare Fannie K.

The charge against Octagon was that the horse had been driven in a race by a man who had been expelled from the association. In the Searchlight-Anaconda matter the contract between the managers of the horses and the Indiana State Board of Agriculture was submitted, together with an answer by the board to the application for an order that the second money in the race be paid to Searchlight, it having already gone to him, as he distanced Anaconda in the race. The Board of Agriculture said the race was "fixed," but Myron E. McHenry, driver of Anaconda, testified that the heavy track made It Impossible for his horse to win. The decision will be given later In the week.

SCtolE REMARKABLE TRIUMPHS History Of The Invasion Told From The Days Of Richard Ten Broeck To Those Of Sloan And The Relffs. Forty-five years ago an American horse had never won a race abroad, an American jockey had never ridden in an English race, says Elisha Warfleld Kelly, in the December number of Munsey's Magazine. Today, in the year 1900, American horses are winning some of the best races in England, while American jockeys, on some days, take six races out of six. Today probably one-quarter of the mounted Englishmen at war In South Africa bestride American-bred steeds, while the German Government had agents here during the summer seeking for cavalry mounts. The Germans wanted 10,000 good horses, and they were all to have been shipped by October 1.

These animals cost about $125 apiece, or a million and a quarter in all. As a result of this demand horses for saddle purposes are so scarce that recently the United States Government was forced to buy Texas ponies and mustangs for use in the Philippines. A few years ago these ponies could-be bought for $10 a head, but today they cannot be purchased for less than three times as much. Our trotting stock is also in demand. For the last six years the Germans, French, Russians and Austrlans have been "buying some of our best bred animals.

In all these countries large purses and stakes are being hung up as prizes for trotting races. In Europe they handicap trotters as we handicap our racers one horse Is placed on scratch, and the others, according to their speed, are started at various points ahead. To an American It is a curious sight to see a race started with the horses scattered at intervals around the track. American Invasion Of England. Our horses have won some notable triumphs on the English tracks, and the successes of our riders have been marvelous.

The sums of money they are earning are so very large that the telling of It seems like the reading of a page from the "Arabian Nights." The American jockeys now riding In England are Tod Sloan, Johnny Reiff, Lester Reiff "Skeets" Martin, Danny Maher, Clem Jenkins, Eddie Jones and Ben Rigby. The owners who are racing horses there are Pierre Lorillard, Richard Croker, James R. Keene. Edward Corrlgan, Clarence Mackay, William Duke, Enoch Wlshard, William C. Whitney, August Belmont, "Major" Covington and John McDonald.

Our invasion of the English turf Is one of the most Interesting chapters of turf history. The first American to go to England with a stable of thoroughbreds was Richard Ten Broeck, who owned the great Lexington. Mr. Ten Broeck was a horseman of the old school, one who feared no rival, and who never paid forfeit if his horse could stand. He sailed for England in 1856, taking with him Lexington, Lecompte, the only horse that ever beat Lexington; Pryor and Prioress.

Lecompte died of influenza the first year, and Pryor soon followed. It was left for Prioress to retrieve the fortunes of the stable, and right well she acquitted herself. Her great victory was in the Cesarewltch, a race at 2 miles, 2 furlongs and 28 yards. There were 37 starters, the very best horses on the English turf. After one of the most exciting races ever run Prioress, El Hakim and Queen Bess finished in a dead heat.

In the runoff the American horse won by a length In 4 minutes and 15 seconds. Thousands upon thousands were wagered upon. the -result, which caused great excitement on both sides of the Atlantic. After Mr. Ten Broeck's return to America, in 1859, none of our horses raced in England until 1875, when M.

H. Sanford took Preakness and seven other good animals across the water. Mr. Sanford's first season was unsuccessful. Preakness, who, from his American victories, was expected to do much, was but partly up to his form and ran badly.

His owner, Mr. Sanford, captured one or two small stakes, and Brown Prince won one plate. The colt won so easily and displayed such excellent form that he was backed by many to win some of the classic races; but his only success in these was when he ran second to Chamant In the Two Thousand Guineas. Mr. Sanford raced in England until 1881, but could never win any of the Important stakes.

American successes really began in 1878, when Pierre Lorillard and James R. Keene shipped stables to England. The former's horses were in charge of Jacob Eincus an American trainer who today is doing good work In Englaad, and the best of them were the great Parole and the still greater Iroquois. Mr. Keene's best was Foxhall.

Mr. Lorillard was In England several months ahead of Mr. Keene, and so enjoys the distinction of being the third American to try for an English classic turf prize. The English turfmen, remembering the III success of Ten Broeck and Sanford, smiled at this invasion. That smile soon gave way to amazement when Parole won his first race, the Newmarket handicap, defeating the English favorite, Isonomy, a horse that was called the best ever foaled on English soil.

The American gelding, which at home had beaten Ten Broeck, next took the Great Metropolitan, the Great Cheshire and the Epsom Gold Cup in quick succession. Parole then trained off, was beaten in the Cesarewltch and ran second in the Great Challenge. In 1880 he started 10 times, finishing first in the Liverpool Spring Cup, but being disqualified; while In his other nine starts he was but twice placed. He was sent back to America the following year, and In a majority of 13 races finished first, second or third. When Parole ceased to win Iroquois began.

This grand racer started five times in 1SS0 as a 2-year-old and won four important stakes. In his first start as a 3-year-old Peregrine beat him by a head for the Two Thousand Guineas. In his next race, the Derby, the famous blue ribbon of the English turf, Iroquois beat Peregrine easily. He then set all England afire, and upset the United States, by taking the Prince of Wales' Stakes, the Great Champion and several other good races, and closed the season by winning the St. Legcr.

But for his defeat by Peregrine, which was a fluke, he would have been one of the great few to wear the triple crown of the English turf. In 200 years only about a dozen horses have won the Two Thousand Guineas, the Derby and the St. Leger. The latest to succeed in this was the Prince of Wales' Diamond Jubilee, who on September 12 won the St. after winning the other two earlier in the season.

In the meantime James R. Keene was also showing the English what well-trained American horses could do in the way of winning their best races. His great colt, Foxhall, was started three times as a 2-year-old and won two of the races. As a 3-year-old Foxhall did even better. After losing his first three races, he won the Cesarewltch and then-the Cambridgeshire, his best race, In which he defeated the great Bend Or.

Foxhall in the betting was a 100 to 1 shot, while the odds against Bend Or were 9 to 2. Foxhall Is one of the very few 3-year-olds that have won both of the great autumn handicaps. Since they first went to England there has not been a season when the stables of the Messrs. Lorillard and Keene have not had horses running in their colors. Each year they have seen more of their countrymen sending horses abroad.

Recently Mr. Keene's son, Foxhall, has become associated with him, and the firm is' known as James R. Foxhall P. Keene. This year Mr.

Keene will send abroad Tommy Atkins, who finished third to W. C. Whitney's Ballyhoo Bey in the Futurity and second to him in the Flatbush Stakes. He will also send over Commando, the unbeaten son of Domino. These horses are well entered In the English stakes for 1901.

The Latest Americans In England. William C. Whitney, Secretary of the Navy under Grover Cleveland, Is one of the latest turfmen to Invade England. His success there, as In this country, has encouraged him to try to win more great races. At the Duke of Westminster's sale, a year ago, Mr.

Whitney paid as high as 4,000 for a yearling. He bought some good horses, besides sending over several from this side. His colors Eton blue, brown cap were seen this season for the first time on the English turf. In August and September several of the Whitney stable won stakes. Watershed, an American bred colt by Watercress, ran a dead heat for the Halnaker stakes, and the English bred filly Spectrum won the time-honored Chesterfield Cup.

Mr. Whitney's English stable has cost him a small fortune. Although he has been Interested In thoroughbreds but a few years, he has bought with such good judgment that he has become as prominent a figure In International turf circles as he is in finance. Clarence A. Mackay, the son of John W.

Mackay, is one of the latest Americans to race in England. Until recently he was more Interested In trotters than In runners. Six years ago, In co-operation with MIDDLE ATLANTIC STRENGTH List Of Officers To Be Elected For Next Year City Collegians Stirred By Late News Indoor Games.

The new officers to be elected at the meeting will be the same which now direct the affairs of the club, with the exception of four new men who will go on the board of governors to take the places of those who think that they have served long enough and want to give others a show.

The nominating committee consists of Charles "Whitehurst, Henry E. Wilkens and Howard Musselman. The names It has submitted are as follows: Charles J. Taylor, president; Charles E. Siegmund, first vice-president; Henry G.

Penniman, second vice-president; John M. Requardt, secretary; E. B. Owens, treasurer; Henry E. "Wilkens, captain.

"She should be tall, and likewise fair, Of sun-kissed gold should be her hair; While in her eyes must lurk the hue That ocean wears when the sky is blue." "But you are small and dark," cried he, "Your hair is black as black can be." "I only pictured," the maid replied, "The woman I fancied might be your bride." This is how lovers play the game; Till the end of time 'twill be the same. The only rule that Love must know Is never the simple truth to show. Philip Hemcry, in Pearson's Magazine.
