EUROPE’S ROYAL WIDOWS
WOMEN WHOSE POMP HAS BECN
DARKENED BY SORROW.

Natalie tbe Profligate—Tiro Who Are
Insane.
Lo .don Letter Sew York Piets.
Already there is a bustle ot ureuration
for the Christmas holidays, and
Londoner* are beginning to inquire
whether it be really true that Queen
Victoria, after almost thirty tears
of uniutarrnpted retirement, is at lost about
to resume ber interest in the social Ufa
of the capital. Only a few works ago an
operatic company appeared at the
roya. residence at Balmoral, in Scotland,
and performed before her majesty, and ten*
fact a naturally accepted as an evidence of
her intention to show herself in public to
her loyai London subjects during thb com
ing wi ter. The truth is that aim st any
other nation in Europe than the stolid
English would have bean restive under the
queen’s long a id persistent mourning. Lou
don tradesmen anil shopkeepers resent being
ignored year after year, while her august
maj -sty, wbeushegoes aorond, doesu’t hesi
tate at ail to do her own shopping, whether
at Nice, Cannes or any of the other resorts,
where sue is liaeiy to meat her multi
tudinous triDes of relatives, indeed, If the
aristocracy dared to risk being sent to
Coventry by being as frank and outspoken
as the tradespeople, they would say out
right that it might have been wiser had the
queen allowed the Prince of Wales to play
a more prominent part In the affairs of the
kingdom. His participation in public af
fairs and sharing of the responsibilities
even in an advisory capaoity, would Have
done much to lighten the burden now rest
ing on the shoulders of the aged queen, and
besides would have afforded satisfaction to
the great world of sooiety, to whioh Vic
toria has given the odd shoulder all these
years.
But though the imperial widow, who
rarely appears without the distinctive cap
of her widowhood even now, may hold
aloof from many of the gayetiea and social
indulgences that go to make tbe life of a
court, she dare not neglect Ch.istmas. To
do so would be to give undying offence to
her subjects, and she is far too wise and
shrewd to do that. Borne of these subjects,
more witty than loyal, have said that
Victoria is never so happy as when she is
miserable, and that her chief pleasure is
found in mourning, but that it would be
unreasonable for her to expect that she can
keep the whole nation forever iu the atti
tude of woe. Luckily, her sorrow relaxes
regularly at Christmas, and they can de
pend upon having the good, old fashioned
style ot celebration, with Yule logs, beef,
aie and ali tbe other accompaniments at
Krogmore castle, and, of couise, what is
done at Frogmore, Osborne or Vvindsor is
done everywhere.
In spite of age and an increasing tendency
to obesity, Victoria is easily tbe busiest
monarch—l had almost said tbe busiest
woman—in all Europe. There may be some
Ameiicau business women who accomplish
more iu a day than she, but I honestly
doubt it Certainly no lady of wealth and
social position would undertake half the
work this little pleasant-faced, stoutisb old
lady does.
THB EX-EMPRESS OF FRANCE.
There is another royal widow in England
whom Victoria has met ipore than once in
her sauuterings about Windsor. She is a
sweet-faced, iow-volcod, slender woman;
auy one can see that she must have once
been very beautiful. Indeed, this woman,
whose hair, once of glossy biaokness, is fast
whitening, whose face is wrinkled and
whose form is so bent that she has to walk
with a cane for support, was once tbe love
liest creature in Europe. She is prematurely
Old, her eyes are dim and her limbs stiff
with rheumatism. Yet Eugeuie of France,
is only 6b. When in Eugland Eugenie’s
home is at Furr.bnrougb, where she has a
beautiful villa, surrounded by line grounds.
Hhe is occasionally invited t ■ Windsor, for
Victoria is quite fond of the pale woman
whose sun of empire set forever many years
ago at Sedan and whose last tie to earth
whs broken when toe Prinoe imperial per
ished in the Zulu wars. Once the best
dressed woman in Europe, Eugenie is now
always habited in black. Her old friends,
somehow, seem to have forgotten her—-ali
except a very few. She Is no louder spoken
of even in imperialist oircles iu France as
the empress; she is now “the fatal womau.”
Such is the effect of misfortune. She trav
els much in Europe; goes to Paris, Venice
and Switzerland, but Linds neither rest nor
peace. She is happiest at Faruborougb,
one of the most charming rural spots iu
England, a little better than an hour out of
Loudon, because there rest toe bodies of
her husband and sou.
THE EX-QUEEN OF SPAIN.
If we cress the channel we need not go
very far to And fu: ther attestation of the
fact that “sorrow is often attended by run
ning footmen and laced lackey* mounted
behind," as a philosophic writer haa re
marked. In I'arls, spending the declining
years as best she may at er her own pecu
liar tastes, resides ex-Queen Isabella of
Spa n. Heroine of scandals innumerable in
her own country and elsewhere a coquette
in both love aiid politics, at one time the
Idol and again the detestation of the Span
Ish people, Isabella h3s contrived through
out all her varied fortunes to control
suffliiont funds to beep up at least a
semblance of state and also to gratify a
lifelong love of dissipation. The passing
years have touched her very lightly; If any
thing she U a trifle heavier and grosser
looking than before. The daughter of
Maria Christina and Ferdinand VII. is still
active and vigorous enough to lie a dan
gerous faotor in politics if permitted. She
has never forgiven Madrid tbe grudge she
owes it for the expulsion of 1868, when she
was compelled to flee from her palace and
her lovers and find a refuge in France. She
was at one time the baby nueen of her be
loved Spain, and now her grandchild,
the posthumous lieii- of her only son, the
lata Alfonso XII., is the baby mon
arch, Queen Christina acting as regent
.during his minority. Isabella has thus
the double vexation of knowing that, while
Spain lovally tolerates her descendants, it
wants nothing more to do with her, having
a too vivid recollection of her troublous
reign, Isabella never knew the blessings of
domestic happiuess. Her wedded life was
one of alternate estrangements and recon
ciliation. During her reign Spain took
rank among the leading powers, and the
country would unquestionably have pros
pered had not the opeu immorality of the
court and the. Imbecility of the government
made a path for the revolution. Her four
daughters are forever shut out of the suc
cession.
THE HAPPIEST OF THEM ALL.
Probably of all the royal widows in Eu
rope at the present time the happiest is
Queen Kegenl Maria Christina, the mother
of ti-ysar-old Alfonso Mil., whose affection
for ber boy, os well as her patriotic devo
tion to the welloru of her country, has won
the hearts of the impulsive Spaniards.
Maria Christina is ft Hapaburg; but she
seems to have eeouped the adverse fortunes
that hove overtaken so many other mem
bers of that gloomy house. Sheik one of
the kindest and most oharitable of women ;
not beautiful, as the Madrid standard of
loveliness g--es, but so lovable that the
pretty iladrilinet press forward when she
appears iu public and ft ivo t>> kiss the hem
of her dark rooming gown. The poor es
pecially love h r for deeds oi kindness

TWO AMIABLE WIDOWS.
Two vety amiable royal widows, neither
" ‘ m possesses the slightest preten
ses to notoriety, are Queen Emma of
| Holland and Queen Olga of Wurtemberg.
Ihr alter it the relict of King Karl L,
j whuse rule was scandalized by the singular
rise of two Americans, Rio ard M. Jack
son aud Charles B. Woodcock, to phenome
j nal influence —a condition of
things whioh to displeased the
steady going WTurtembergers that
they put a very sudden atop to it. In 1888
the cabinet went on a strike, and the king
had to agree to dismiss the foreigners. Kari
did’t get over it. He was very fond of the
two strangers and he died shortly after the
trouble about their dismissal. He was a
weak headed sort of a man, unfitted to rule
and an easy prey to designing politicians or
sharpers. Queen Emma of Holland has also
had a somewhat checkered matrimonial
experience. Her late spouse, William 111.,
led her a terrible life. What with
bis Innumerable intrigues and his rapid
accession of female favorites, he is said
to have been reepocsible for many heart
breaks and to have abused his roval power
and privileges frightfully. Queen Emma
was a younger princosa of Waldeek Pyr
montt William had proposed to her sister
and bad been refused, when Emma said in
bis bearing that she "would never refuse to
become a queen." The old fellow (William
was then b 2) took her at her word. She is
quite homely, with rather pleasant features
and a simple, quiet dignity that contrasted
oddly enough with William’s pompous
ways. She was a muoh better wife than
he deserved, and now with the old Den
Juau underground Queen Emma Is livlug
quietly at the Hague as regent, till her
daughter, little Queen Wilhelmina, is of
age to rule the Hollanders.
OTHER RELICS OF ROYALTY.
The widowhood of ex-Empress Frederick
of Germany is passed la semi-retirement
aud in the performance of acts of charity.
She {s one of the few royal ladles of Europe
who may e said to take more than a pass
ing interest in scientific things, and though
by no means a bluestocking, she devotes
considerable time to literary studies. Since
Frederick’s death she has wielded but little
influence In public affairs, although she
possesses marked ability m that direction.
The pla id life of Victoria’s widowed
daughter and her beautiful domsetio rela
tions contrast strangely with tbe stormy
household deities that have ruled the fort
unes of those two royal daughters of mis
fortune, Natalie and Elizabeth. Neither is
a widow, yet both are husbandlesa. orown
less, exiled and almost friendless. Empress
Elizabeth, tbe “dear Leiael’’of Franz Josefs
wooing days, when as a young and romantio
kaiser he roamed bis kingdom in search of
a mate, is an exile in Corfu. The emperor’s
infidelities had already driven her almost
Insane, and the suicide of Prinoe Rudolph
with Baroness Vetsera completed tbe
wreok ot ber mind, She mopes about in
her retreat, oarrying in her arms a doll to
whioh she talks endearmgly, calling it by
Rudolph’s name. Her life seems destined
to close in hopeless lunaoy like that of the
Empress Carlotta.
Europe has laughed not a little over the
follies and absurdities of that opera bouffo
pair of royalties, Natalie and Milan, and
there are some who have declared tuat in
epite of,her unhappy experiences, both with
her unlovable husband and with the wor
shipers she has always kept dangling on
her train, she is still the most fascinating
and irresistible woman of ber age in Europe.
This “royal grass widow,” whose domenio
squabbles with a craven and faithless
spouse are continually coming to the sur
face .is a . true. Russian in temperament,
morals and verve; Although somewhat
stout,.she still possesses a regal beauty. A
fair, broad forehead, over which is a
crown of hair of jetty blaokuess; eyes that
ripple and sparkle and a voice aud smile
that are irresistible —these, added to many
other graces of person and to a love of
pleasure and- intrigue wbtoh everywhere
bought opportunity for indulgenoe, are still
characteristic of the woman whose loves
and quarrels have brought sorrow to Hervia.
Milan, it is true, had even more wretched
morals. His Parisian education brought
him into onutaot with low boulevard life.
Natalie. Keohko’s stronger nature and
higher ambitions soon asserted themselves.
In the war with Bulgaria, whioh Natalie
provoked, Milan proved an arrant coward,
while tbe Queen won praise and blessings
on every side for ber kindness to the
wounded on tbe field.
Milan, after securing bis divorce, started
to go to the dogs with a run. He is now a
drunkard and broken down gambler in
Raris, having lost throne, quaen and coun
try. Natalie, who did not hesitate to buy
political or other support at the price of her
reputation, now finds that all her,witcheries
fail. Even the families who were so adula
tory In her salons in Nervis, no longer give
a thought, to the exiled queen. Estranged
and divorced from husband, torn from her
son, tbe boy King Alexander, and forsaken
by the people who once worshiped her,
Natalie finds a melancholy pleasuro in oc
casionally returning from her exile in
southern France to revisit old soenes in
Servla, where she may revlro the memories
of dead passions and satisfy a mother’s love
by a stolen glimpse of her son.
BEiiIND THE POHTIBRKB.
Being a Truthful Account ot Mrs. Jack
Darirg’s Secret Tipple.
Prom the New York Sun.
At Pierre’s they were talking about
Johnny’s party. He was not to give the
party in the sense of inviting guests; Col.
liob BilliDgs had mede up a studio party,
secured a chaperon for the buds, and
Johnny—John Ascott —was of oourse de
lighted to offer his studio and his services
for tbe occasion.
“What do they do, auy way!’’ inquired
the model. Miss” Ileunessy. “They dou l
Mnoke uor driux; they have no shop to talk.
What do thev do?"
“No shop to talk!” exclaimed Tommy
Pagot, who was looked upon as an author
ity in matters pertaining to the upper
world, having an aunt residing therein.
•‘They talk shop more than we do—their
shop. Mrs. Jack Daring, the chaperon
C-il. Billings has been lucky enough to se
cure, is the moat interesting and original
woman in town. I’ve met her at my
aunt’s. Hhe can just knock you over with
her btl air. or be as jolly and simple as—as
—well, as one of the girls here. You know
they say that she sometimes joins her hus
band’s s.ag dinners for black coffee, aud
takes a cigarette with the tueu. You never
nan tell how much truth there la in such
stories. But although she has the reputa
tion of being eoceutric in that way, Bbe U
the one woman in town careful mothers
prefer to have chevron their daughters.
She knowß what the buds must avoid to es
cape being wilted, I suppose."
"1 should like to hear a real swell woman
talk ” Mary said meditatively, holding out
her glass for more claret, "I’ve seen them
at the theaters, don’t you know and always
wondered What they were talking about—
•hey areal wavs so beautifully groomed.
‘ Just iu what way do you fancy their
;r,.-lining affects their conversation'’ in
quired Tommy l’oget."
"ihm’t tie funny, Tommy. 1 spoke of
I their groomed appearance oeoause it is the
; moat attractive thing about a swell, to the
eye of the artist kindly oast
Itself over Sarah, here, and the state wherein
she, for instance, lack* grooming"
Mary did look over at Sarah thought
fully a moment, aud than said: "Sarah is
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. DECEMBER 29. 1892.
! the sweetest thing alive, and with her
slightly surprised eyes looking at me through
the cloud of smoke escaping from her warm
and generous mouth, I am smitten with her
dearly; but Sarah is—is—ah! is coming
around hers to assault me.”
Mary and Sarah whispered together, and
then Mary said:
“Johnny, why can’t Sarah and I make a
sneak into tbe dressing room to-morrow be
fore the party get there 1 We can peep
through the portieres ud not be seen."
‘‘Yes, and bear what they say,” added
tMtrah, who had an ambition to write a so
cietj novel, and saw a chance to get the
only material she thought she lacked.
‘’iou'li do some blooming thing to cause
a discovery,” objected Ascott, who was
specially aDxicus for the success and pro
priety of his party, some ot his artist
friends having secured buyers through par
ties at their studios.
But one man’s objections cannot stand
before two pretty women’s insistanoo, aud
11 ® fl s arranged os Mary suggested.
The girls were in tbe studio early the
next afternoon. “And it’s well we’re
here!” exclaimed Mary, casting a look of
horror about the room.
“A paper bag of lemons, another of
sugar, a black bottle of gin and a siphon of
soda are good enough accessories for our
gang, Johnny, but they must not be in
sight when the swells arrive."
Ihe gin fizz outfit, as well as Beverai un
ornamental pipes, g.asses, spoons, decks of
cards aud poker chips, wore hidden iu the
dressing room. The bsujoe guitars, copper
kettles, va-es, bits of fabric*, caste, weapons,
rugs, furs aud other ornamental accessories
were arranged in attractive carelessness;
the pictures that it was hoped might flud
buyers were placed in the best light, and
Johnny admitted that the shop loosed bet
ter as a result of the girls’ "fussing.”
“Now sneak 1” said ihe artist, when the
guests were hoard at the foot of tbs stairs.
The girls ran into the dressing room, an
alcove separated irom the main room of tbe
studio by a portiere extending only half
way up to the arch. They were seated on
a trunk awaiting a safe moment to look
out, and making their enforced silence en
durable with cigarettes, when an arm was
thrust through tne portiere partiug. A fist
shook at tbltn violently, tbeu waved fran
tically toward the Brch. Sarah saw first.
Their smoke was lazily winding in gray
banners over tbe portiere poie out into the
studio. After a few moments’ frightened
sileucj, 41 ary plaoed her mouth oloee to
Sarah’s ear and whispered;
“Fizzi"
Sarah nodded.
Mary began operations on a lemon with a
dull palette knife and it slipped with a
Jingle, tbe glasses clinked, tbe siphon hissed
uncommonly and tbe sugar spoon dropped
to tbe floor with a rattle.
Then Asoott’s voice was heard, louder
than usual, with a note of hysteria in it:
"Pardon me one momeut, Mrs. Haring.
I will step into my dressing room; there is a
little sketch there I should like to have
your opinion of. Just a moment.”
Johnny appeared before the girls, wrap
ping tbe portieres about him as be passed
through them, so as to leave no opening for
observation. He tore his hair, rolled his
sves and showed every sign of approaching
frenzy as he whispered:
“The chaperon sus(>ects. Please don’t
make suoh noises! If she discovers you 1
am ruined 1”
The girls looked humbly apologetic,
oroesed their hearts and Johnny withdrew
with a sketch he picked up.
Soon the conversation became livelier;
groups walked from ploture to picture,
lounged about the little ante-room, where
tbe lunch Col. Billings had ordered was
served, and talked art as it is known to tbe
amateur. Mr*. Daring, the chaperon, a
splendid, Junoesque woman with beautiful,
frank eyes and almost girlish mouth, called
at Ascott;
“It is a bore to have your shop talked to
you, but I want to ask you to have that
Portia—you call it Portia, do you not?—
seat to the framer's for me. You have Mr.
Haring'* office addrosa; kindly let him know
the price."
“You are very kind, Mrs. Daring , 0
oare for it.”
She was gradually drawing the artist to
ward tbe portieres, and did not pause until
her dress touohed it.
“I like the faoe exceedingly,” she said.
Tben suddenly, “You are to be con
gratulated upon your model.”
“Have you seen her I" gasped Johnny.
“Seen her! Her faoe is on twenty onn
vasea in this room. If she were on the
stage her faoe would be her future. Could
she aotl Is she clever?"
"Hhe It extremely stupid,” Johnny said in
a slow, distinct voioe.
He thought bs discovered a smile oome
and go quickly over Mrs. Daring’s face.
"She does not look it,” she remarked. “I
should really like to see her. One reads
such piquant stories about studio models.
If I could only see her and not have it
known!"
Johnny was In a cold tremble. Mrs.
Daring was looking at him with suoh know
ing eyes.
"I dar* say," she continued, “she would
like to see me as muoh as I should her.”
Johnny almost fainted.
“Of course, we would not speak if it
would be indiscreet to do so,” the chaperon
added.
"Well, then," gasped Johnny, who saw
that Mrs. Daring had grasped the situation.
"Now! W bile all tbe people are over by the
lunch 1”
With a qnlok movement the chaperon
was absorbed with the fullness of the
portiere*. Harah was hiding her face out of
a window, but tbe model, extremely flushed
and defiant, faced tbe chaperon. Tbe latter
regarded Mary through ber lorgnette oalm
ly but good-naturedly.
"You are really a very handsome girl, as
I supposed," she said in a low voice.
Mary started.
“O, they won’t hear now; they are mak
ing such a noise over the lunch. I was con
vinced you were here when Mr. Asoott
looked so miserable at the cigarette smoke,
and started so at tbe little sound of spoon*
and glasses. I’m rather clever about find
ing out such things. By the way, you did
have some glasses, did you not?”
Mary, now quite as self-possesied as Mrs.
Jack Daring, turned toward the siphon.
"O, yes,” said Mrs. Daring, following
Mary's glance. “Can you—a—mix them <”
Mary deftly and rapidly compounded two
mixtures in long thin glasses, and gave one
to the obaperon.
After one sip Mrs. Daring whispered:
“Exoellentl You see there are several
Suite young girls in the party, so I told Col.
filings to provide only lemonade and ohoo
olate to drink, but a chaperon requires
something more—a—sustaining. Keally,
this is quite the best I ever drank, and Mr.
Daring makes a capital one.”
She finished her glass. “Yes, you are
quite as handsome as I hoped, and I fancy
not at all stupid. ”
At dinner that night at Pierce’s the girls
sturdily refused to tell what had happened
behind tbe portieres when Mrs. Daring
made her unexpected oail there.
"No,” said Mary, decidedly, “she didn’t
give us away to her gang, and wo won’t
give her away to ours; but she is a thor
oughbred.”

“ Straight Tips” on the Vocabulary of
the Race Track.
From ffis San Francitco Examiner.
The finishing touches of tbe trainer’s art
which a borie receive# before starting in a
stake race, is called the “grand prep,” or
the "tuning up.” If be appears iu tbe race
looking shrunken or drawn, he is said to be
“too fine,” or if be looks fat be is called
"high" or "big.” If he suits the popular
idea he is said to be "fit.” A horse dose his
"trial” in the early morning generally, and
such work is supposed to be private anil
for the information of owner and
trainer. The "tout” it tbe person who
slips in to watch tbe trial# and "tips” the
tame to betting men wben the races come
off The owner “pate off the ra e” if he
wiu* with hi* borne. The “colore” of an
owner are the jacket and cep iu which the
boyride*. asd tbe "stables” mean* horses,
men aud the stalls tn which they live. The
"tip” is private information given to a bet
ter by a person in a position Iu know the
capacities of the horses in the race, and it
generally “goes wrong.”
When a “straight tip” “epreadeagies”
the “field” the horse selected tiy the know
ing one runs away in front and ie never
caught by the other horses in the race. If
tbe horse fights out a race in game fashion
he is a '‘stayer,” but If he runs well pert of
tbe wav and tben falls back be “stops" or
"curls up." A “maiden” is a berse of either
sex that hae never won a race, and a ’‘sell
ing plater” is an animal entered in a raoe to
be sold at a stated price if he wins. When
a horse is running a ssriee of good races be
is “iu form," and if bad he is "short of
work” or "stall.” A jockey "gets off well"
wben he takes tbe lead w.th his horse at tbe
start, or be is "left at the p- at” whan the
flag falls and the other horses run away
from him.
These and a thousand other things are to
be known to the follower of the turf if he
wistes to be in touon with his surroundings
and not a "rank ml tel ler."
To tbe outsider tbe talk of the turf is as
complex and unintelligible as the yu gnu of
n Chinese wash house s iree after the gin
has gone around. Evory sport and spe
cialty has its vocabulary, but the turf’s
•lang ie more va led aid picturesque than
any language talked upon earth. That Is
why the turf reporter, who is supposed to
tell hie readers all about it next day, finds
i' so hard to explain to them io bis own
words just how a race was run and won.
The other day there was a race at. the Bay
Bistrict, in which St. Croix, one of the
horses, was pulled back by his jockey so
that he could not win. In half a dozen jour
nals be was spoken of as being "stopped
stiff," "yanked,” "fixed,'' ‘,‘deoa ” "wasu’t
out for the stuff,” * ‘wasn’t wanted,” "got
at,” eto. The layman who read all the
articles did not know whether St. Croix
had been ill or whether somebody bad
simply shot him as he was going to tbe post.
A jockey employs a curious tongue to tell
bow he did or did not wiu. In his peculiar
way he would tell you that he had the
mount an a duffer who was a long shot in
the betting and a bad actor at the post. The
event was a handicap and he was in at tbe
top weight. When the llag fell he got going
in hie stride while tbe other kids were sleep
ing, aud, stabbing tbe steel into his mount,
he shot to the front. Under a drive be
made all tbe running In tbs stretch so
and so challenged him. His mount swerved,
but be pulled his bat and weut at him. He
rode all over his horse and took the last
link out of him, but he shut up like a jack
knife at thedraw-gate and was collared in a
rattling finish and neat a short head, though
he got tbe plaoe with good money against
him.
Told in ordinary phrase the boy meant to
say that tbe horse which be rode in a cer
tain raoe was neither a fast nor a coura
geous animal, and that his ohanoos of win
ning were considered so small by the betting
public that very heavy odds were bet against
bis chances. lie was excitable and did not
start kindly when be was taken to the start
ing point, but displayed bis temper by
backing and kicking, and such other demon
strations of a srioked temper. It was a raoe
in whioh the weights that the horses carried
were alloted accenting to the publto esti
mate ut their respective abilities, aud the
particular horse had the heaviest weight to
carry because he had run good raoe*.
When tbe horses got the signal to start by
tbe dropping of the red flag, the partioular
jockey had itarted nil horse so that he was
at full speed while the other jookeys had
their horses at no more tbau a canter. '1 be
jookey pricked bis animal with bis spurs,
and the horse ran past the others and took
the lead. The rider was spurring and
whipping and otherwise urging his horse all
the way, and being in front he established
the rate of the running, whether fast or
slow, the other horses following according
to the pace. When they reached the last
? Mar tec of the oourse, so and so oame up
rum behind aud mails a persistent effort to
get ahead of thb loader.
The first horse gave way UDder the hard
running and swung off to one side. The
rider drew his whip and used it severely on
the horse. To further urge him to his best
efforts he spurred him and squeezed him
with bis knees. Under suoh severe treat
ment the horse put forth his best speed for
awhile, but at the gate be wavered and be
gan to elow up. The other horse then came
up on even terms with him, passed him and
was first at the goal, beating tbe contend
ing animal tbe length, or barely tne length,
of a horse’s head. The borne that runs in
second position al the end of the raoe is said
to be "in the place,” and tbe bookmakers
bet so much that a horse will not run first
or second and sometimes third. “Good
money against” means that the odds bet
that he would not run seoonci were favor
able to tbe better.
Tho jockey tells the story In half th*
words which a layman would use in ex
plaining bow a race was won, and tells it
muoh better if you know his phrasing. Just
so turf slang is used in ail sorts of talk
around the stable. Wben a horse is com
pletely exhausted at the end or “finish" of
a race be is “all out.” If he is notexbausted
he “had something left in him.” He is a
“quitter” if he lacks courage. When he
finishes poorly he ‘ ‘goes all to pieces,” and
is “dead beat” when he ootnes in behind
puffing and blowing. W ben be wins “run
ning away” or “with his mouth open” or
“in baad" a horse wins easily with his
jockey pulling him baok to the other horses.
A "*leepor” is an animal of merit that Is
sprung upon the public unexpectedly and
who wins at long odds.
When a raoer is ailing from any cause he
“goes ami**” or "goes off” or “goes wrong.”
He Is “dickey" when his legs are tn danger
of giving way from the strain of hard
work. The "stretch” is tbe last quarter of
tbe traok; that part which leads straight to
the wire or finish. The “order in the
stretch” is the order of the horses in the
race at that particular part of tbe track.
“Out for the dust" aud “out for the stuff”
are synonymous. “On velvet” is the h .ppy
condition of a man who is ahead on his
wagers for the day or the eaonn. An
“outsider” is a horse that is cot expected to
win, and an “outsider” is generally sup
posed to be “outclassed." He gives the
“talent,” or betting people, a “dump" when
be wins arid defeats the favorite or firat
ohoice horse. “Hprlnters” are horses that
race only at short distances, and a “dis
tance of ground” means at a mile or over.
“Derby distance” is a mile and a half.
Not 80 Bad as It Seemed.
The young man was talking to a very pious
acquaintance, says the Detroit Free l\ess.
"Miss Follins told me to day you were at her
house last night," she said.
“Yes,” he replied.
"I: resume, of course, you bad a very pleas
ant time; she s such a charming girl,”
‘’Lovely. I never had a bettertiru". Youaee
there woe someone playing the piano in Hie
hoc* parlor and Miss Fannie and I quietly stole
out into that big dining room they have and in
about a ininuti I slipped my arm about her
waist *’
"Sir!” and Mlsa Prim almoat had a fit.
He was as cool as a cucumber.
“i said." he went on. "that I slipped my arm
about her waist and she put her toft white hand
on my shoulder ——”
"1 beg your pardon," interrupted Miss Prim,
“but I cannot permit this c mversatlon to con -
tinue. if sliss Fullios tin ks no more ot heraelf
than to permit such liberties from a gentleman,
surely he should think enough of himself not
to tell of them.”
The young man snickered.
"Of course, of course," he said, ‘‘but wait
till you hear it all."
“No, air: ho, sir,” she protested “I have
heard too much already."
“Why. there iau t anything told yet,” he per
sisted: “as 1 said ’*
"1 shall not hear it, sir,’* and In high dudgeon
she a ose to depart.
• My dear luias.’ he said very contritely, “we
were only beginning to waltz, and everybody
was looking at us. ”
"O," ehe exclaimed with a sudden collapse,
and tbe young man laughed

Sleighing in Savannah.
Editor of the Morning Xews: Did you
know —how many know there was ever
sleigh riding in the streets of Havsnnab 9 It
seems remarkable that Judge Gibson made
no record of the fact, but I recollect dis
tinctly seeing prancing teams, with jingliug
bells, drawing gay parties over the snow on
Broughton street.
It was the winter of 183.5-’36; the snow was,
as well as I recall it, a foot deep. The elder
Maj. Wiltbergcr owned the Pulaski house
and stables adjoining. Seeing the heavy
fall of snow, be unshipped some of bis con
veyances, improvised runners, attached
bells to his horses, and so we had sleighing
in Havahnah.
A party of u* built a Snow mound in my
father’s yard on Broughton street, which
lasted probably a week.
(Since tben we have had two severe falls
of snow iu Havaonub. At one time heavy
icicles, two feet 1 ng, hung from trees and
eaves On on* of such days I traveled up
iuto Effingham county with a cart and
came near being frozen. G. M. UuiPT.
Herndon, Ga., Dec. 28,18J3.

otuers held that darsuoss was. necause if there
was no darkness there would be an need of
