THE MORNING OREGONIAJf, TUESDAY, APEIL 23, 1907. ; 3 E GREATEST SPORT Horse-Racing Falls Into Dis repute Through Pool-' , Selling Evil. HISTORIC AMERICAN RACES Washington Was Judge of Great Event and All Presidents Used trf Attend Famous Contests Between North and South. BY FREDERIC J. HASKIX. WASHINGTON, April 17. (Special Cor respondence.) Although horse-racing is the sport of "kings, of late It has fallen in evil lines. In most of the states of the Union it is unlawful to bet on races and, therefore, races are not run. Tenn essee is the last state to put up the legal bars, but in that case an attempt will be made to have a bettingless meeting. Missouri. Illinois and Indiana had a hard liKiit to enforce the anti-race-track gambling laws, but they were enforced, and in those states racing is no more. In only eight states is racing. now car ried on this refers to running races, of course but there are a few others where racing is legal and may be instituted at any tline. New York, Kentucky, Louis iana, California, Oregon, Montana, Mary land and the District of Columbia are now the "cities of refuge" for the ponies, the Jockeys and tho touts. In Massa chusetts there are the steeple-chases, which are great annual events. In Penn sylvania and Delaware an effort is being made to get laws which will permit rac ing on an easy basis. In Georgia , the laws are favorable, but there has been little racing. Tool Selling Kill Racing. South Carolina and Virginia were the early homes of the thoroughbred, and Charleston was the site of the' first regu lar race-courpe in this country. A propo sition to construct a course at Charleston nnd to rehabilitate racing there is now 1'fing considered. Virginia has put up tlie legal barriers. Kentucky is the only one of the old-time breeding states which .'till permits raring, and the Klue Grass Matis now the home of the best horses in the world. The decadence of racing is probably clutrgeable to the two things that have done morp -than anything else to aid the progress of other sports and endcavors-1 Ihe newspaper and the telegraph. These (wo made the pool-room possible, and the pool-room has proved an unmixed evil. It has ruined thousands by its attrac tions for gambling, it has injured racing and it has brought genuine sportsmen into disrepute. If It had not been for the evils of the pool-room, there is little doubt that racing would have as high standing now as it had 40 years ago. The pool-rooms not only brought public opinion to bear against the race-track, but its effect on racing itself was per nicious. Tiie all-the-year-racing. the In terminable mimber of cheap races and the almost Incredible multiplication of scandals may be traced, in large part, to the pool-room, the hand-book and all the other devices of the get-rich-quick race gamblers. First American Thoroughbred. The development of the thoroughbred in the United States makes a story of absorbing interest. Rulle Rock was the first blooded horse brought to Ameriya, so far as authentic records establish, lie was sired by the Parley Arabian, first dam by Byerly Turk, was foaled in Kngland in 1718 and Imported into Virginia in 1730 by Samuel Patton and Samuel Gist. For many years Virginia and the Carollnas were the only colonies which Interested themselves In horses for sport. Their citizens were sprung from the gay cavaliers and they Inher ited their love of sport from their fath ers. In New England the stern Puritan blood frowned upon almost every kind of diversion. In New York the Dutch were content to sit on the stoop with pipe and mug. The first horses of any kind brought to America came with Columbus on his second voyage in 1493. The first horses landed in what is now the United States were put off on the coast of Klorida in 1T27 by Cabexa de Vaca. These became the founders of the race of wild horses in America. Jamestown received a stallion and six mares in 160!'. the New Netherlands had work-horses from Am sterdam 16 years later, and in 1629 a cargo of utility horses was landed at Boston. l'lrst Racing in the South. Hut the Jamestown colony was to be the one to foster the blooded horse. The name of every member of the original King's Council of Jamestown appears in the American Stud Book, their descend ants being owners of thoroughbred stal lions or mares so generally was the breeding industry gone into by the sons bf the original Virginians. Iath and AVIldalr were two thoroughbreds im ported into New York about 17B5 by Mr. tic I.anrey. but they later went to Vir ginia also. Kegular racing meetings were held in Virginia as early as 17J0 and Genrge Washington's name appears as a Incise at a race meeting before he won his laurels in the French and Indian W ar In 177,3. However, the tlrt actual racing organi sation was formed in Charleston, S. C, on February 19. 1760. A clnb was organ ized and a course laid out and named Newmarket Course. This was followed ,n 1791. immediately after tho formation f the Government under tho Constitu tion by the brilliant South Carolina lockcv Club. This club had a wonderful Nireer and its house was the very capitol f the sporting fraternity of America for u.-iny yraiv. The war between the states mled it ail. When Washington was tesidrnt, there were crowds of thou tinds of richly dressed people at the rii.'irleston meetings. Kespcctable strang-M-s from abroad or from other states verc not allowed to pay any entrahce fee tnd were immediately made guests of the -in o and given, a ribbon to indicate thai Tor the wearer everything was free a .-irctiy and generous hospitalltv which would require a 3th century billionaire o foot the bills in these 20(h-ccntury :inirs. ' First iret Rim-p Horse. Th. first race horse to attract National aitention probably was Colonel William Washington's Shark. Bcins raced by the nephew of the President and having de veloped a wonderful speed. Shark was the idol of the Carolinas. He was the fust American horso to be honored with a monument to mark his burial place. The marble slab sets forth his glorious recorti on the turf and stands at the site of tho old Janiesvillo racecourse at Clar endon, near the seat of James B. Rich ardson, of South Carolina. The first real racing around New York besan in 1M9. A course had been laid out in Washington City In 1S02 and racing began in the ritrict of Columbia only two years after Government began there. In l.'3 the first of tho great North and South match races was run. It was the result of the defeat of Sir Charles by TIN American Eclipse at Washington In the Fall of 1S22. Colonel "William R. John son, of Virginia, the "Napoleon of the Turf," then challenged the New Yorkers to a National race at New York. John C Stevens, a kinsman of Walter Livings ton, who was racing American Kclipse, accepted the gage. A purse of $20,000 a side was put up and the race was prac tically "Eclipse against the world' the Long Island boree thus proving a worthy successor to the great English Kclipse. whose owner on a wager placed "Eclipse first, the rest nowhere." Beaten by Lobster and Wine. There were some 60.000 people to see the race, and the entire United States was in a fever of excitement concerning its outcome, slowly as news went in those early days. The Southern .favorite was hurt on the long trip to New York. . Colonel Johnson dined too well on lobsters and wine the night before and couldn't be at the track. The South cen tered its hopes on Sir Charles. He won the first heat of four miles, Eclipse won the second, and In the third the North ern horse led all the way. The cynical John Randolph, of Roanoke, turned away and said: "It was not Eclipse, but the lobsters that beat Sir Charles." So firmly did the Southerners believe that their defeat was only a "little hard luck" that they tried to match another race for J20.000 a side, but the New Yorkers refused because of the gambling feature being so prominent. In those days the long four-mile-heat races, which required a horse to make from 8 to 16 miles in a single race, were the popular features. Aged horses had the advantage then, and the turf was a very different thing from what it has been since the rise of the sprinters. The National course at Washington was patronized by every President from Jefferson .to Van Buren. Colonel Taylor, of Fort Airy, was the head of the institution, and Gabriel Duvall, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, was also a mem ber c-f the jockey club. Andrew Jack son, always a great turfman, while President, entered a colt in the name of his secretary. Major Donelson, and was infuriated when the purse was won by Commodore Stockton's Lang ford. Great Lexington Race. The oldest course in the West was that established at Lexington. In the heart of the Blue Grass of Kentucky, in 1S26. at which meetings were held regularly until a few years ago. Not even the Civil War stopped the sport there, meetings being held twice each year except in . 1862, when Kirby Smith's army was camped on the course at the time for the Fall meet ing. The first great match race in the West was at Louisville in 1839, when Wagner, a Louisiana horse.- defeated Gray Eagle. There was an immense crowd .and the people of the whole state were excited about it. Henry Cluy was the center of a crowd of a score of Senators, Governors and Judges, who came to see the race. Not a Kentuckian bet a dollar on Wag ner, but the Louisiana hose won the race. This great race was to be re peated in that particular feature just SO years Inter, when Spokane beat Proctor Knott in the Kentucky .Derby and all Kentucky went "dead broke." The great North-against-the-South race of 1842, when Fashion defeated the Southern horse Boston; the Peyton stakes, run in Nashville in 1843, richer than any American stakes ever before run and equal to the English Derby, and St. Leger, in which J. Kirkman's Peytona defeated Wado Hampton's Herald; the famous performances of Black Maria; these are but a few of the great racing events of the United States before the Civil War. which were run over and over again in tavern conversations for 20 or 30 years. Tomorrow Horse racing in America, continued. GOLDFIELD MINES REOPEN Long Strike Ended, but Supply of Miners Is Short.

REBUFFED BY SURLY MONK Edward and Alexandra Visit Church but Are Told to Begone. King Takes Mistake as a Good Joke. NAPLES. April 22. The Queen and King of England, who arrived here on the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, spent the day in sightseeing. They visited various points of interest in the city, and incidentally had an experience 'which amused King Edward greatly and which brought consternation to an unthinking monk. , The incident occurred in front of the Church of Santa Chiara. Their majesties approached, intending to visit the edifice, but found it closed, as the monks in charge were taking their midday meal. A member of the royal party knocked on the door for admittance. A monk came to the door and, .thinking those outside were beggars, did not trouble to open it, but called out so they might hear: "Begone in peace; there is nothing for you here." This remark amused King Edward im mensely and he laughed heartily. The visitors then knocked again and explained that they desired to visit the church, but the sacristan, irritated at their persist ence, shouted: "Don't bother me; this is no time for sight-seeing. Brothers are at lunch." At this moment General Salsa, who was passing, recognized the visiting sover eigns and ordered the monk to open the door. This he did and, when he learned the identity of those who had knocked for admittance, his embarrassment knew no bounds. CIIY OP UNEMPLOYED HEARD Delegation Hurt by Haldanc's Economy Besieges Parliament. LONDON, April e2. The "cry of the un employed" was raised in London again tonight, when several thousand workmen who had been discharged from Woolwich arsenal as an outcome of War Secretary Haldane's scheme of reducing military expenses marched with bands and ban ners from Woolwich to the House of Commons to impress their grievances upon tho government. The complaints of the men are far reaching, representing not only loss of employment but the wiping out of their savings invested in little properties lo cated in the historical and heretofore prosperous town of Woolwich. A num ber' of printers and other tradesmen and citizens joined the procession, which was further augmented by a strong body of workers from the army clothing factory at Pimlico. The entire eight miles of march was thickly lined with spectators. The procession was halted at St. George's Circle, a mile from the House of Parliament, where deputies of picked men proceeded to the House of Commons to lay their grievances before Premier Ca m nbell-Banncrman. The Premier received the deputation in a private room, Mr. Haldane and Baron Tweedmouth being present. The Pre mier made a sympathetic reply and as sured the men of the government's anx iety that these inevitable discharges I should entail as little hardship as pos I sible. Mr. Haldane promised that every scrap or work possiDie wouia ne given to Woolwich. Lord Tweedmouth then promised to do whatever was possible in behalf of the. Navy Department and the deputation withdrew. Japan Borrows From England. SAN FRANCISCO, April 22. Koreki yo Takahashi, the Japanese financier, who has just completed his mission of floating loans aggregating J116.000.000 in London and Paris to redeem the war bonds of Japan, arrived in San Francis co on his way home yesterday. Talking of his work in London and Paris last night, Takahashi said: "The loans floated abroad are now mostly held by London bankers, the stringency of motley in Paris being chiefly responsible for this fact. Japan will pay 5 per cent for this money, which will be used in redeeming the 6 per cent bonds issued during the war. No difficulty is encountered by Japan in raising money. Her credit has been unquestioned since ber achievements in the war. and foreign capital is daily pouring in to her in increased amounts. "The United States bought about $60. 00.1,000 of the war bonds, but lias con tributed little or no capital for invest ment in Japan since. The reason for this is patent. Men with money in the United States can get bigger returns for it here than anywhere else, and they do not have to go abroad to seek investments. Japan will probably at tract very little American capital while the present reign of prosperity con tinues in the United States. Just now she is getting most of her foreign cap ital from England." ' British Delegates to Tho Hague. LONDON. April 22. The British dele gates to the Peace conference at The Hague are as follows: Sir Edward Grey, Ex-Lord Justice of Appeal and a mem ber of the permanent Court of Arbitra tion at The Hague: Sir Ernest Satow, Ex British Minister at Tokio and Pokin and member of permanent Court of Arbitra tion at The Hague; Lord Reay, presi dent of the Royal Asiatic Society and University College, Ijondon, and a mem ber of the Privy Council, and Sir Henry Howard, the British Minister at The Hague.

J. Petrain was chasen manager. The players turn out three evenings each week for practice, and are doing good wprk. An unsually large num ber of men turned out for last night's practice. The firemen are doing a little work toward the formation of their team, and the project will be laid before the Chief this morning. If he is willing, the ar rangements for a game against the policemen will be made. It is proposed by the policemen, that -the game be made an annual contest, and the gate receipts be divided among the players, or added to the Policemen's and Firemen's Relief Fund. The firefighters, however, say that they have not the same chance as the police, because the minions of the law have 16 hours off duty every day, while the fire men are compelled to stay around quar ters 24 hours. They will bring the sub ject before the Chief, to see if special arrangements can be made to excuse the men for practice. Two picked teams of policemen played a game of six innings yesterday after noon, and the score stood 14 to 12 at the end. The game was merely a tryout for the players.

Yesterday afternoon Captain Bailey of the second relief, made his appearance on the field.' and cheered for the men of his command. Later, Dan Kellaher can didate for the Republican nomination for Mayor, went to the grounds to show his interest in the National game.
