SPORTING CIRCLES.
Spurt OB the Move to Catch a Few Good Items
He Finds Thrm.
Sport is no pbreoologist, nor is he
any great student of human nature, but
be can see a few things as plain as any
man who is not " up a tree."
Human nature is the same the world
over, only there is a general cropping
out in certain localities more do tier una
than in others.
For instnooe, there is the man who
thinks that Lis home town ought to
have better race horses. He spits to
bajoo j iioe on the sidewalk and whit
ties while his neighbor is trying to see
that there are better horses, orly be
works a great deal Bnd says little.
The former is a first eonsiu to the
man who thinks the town ought to have
a better newspaper and doesn't patron
ize it to tbe extent of a five cent pieoe
io the course of a whole month. Papers
are made like mushrooms; it doesn't cost
a bean to keep one up.
The man who thinks he has a patent
right on religion and that bis brand is
tbe only soul-saving article in tbe oamp
is a member of the same family.
The person who growls and grumbles
and finds nothing at home that is as
good as abroad, who is a faultfinder by
profession, who becomes a pessimist,
wears long whiskers and keeps from
working, belongs to the gang above
mentioned.
Sport learns that Gladys, who is be
ing trained by Gid Hatt, and Nora, tbe
Matlock mare, whose dam was Repetta,
sired by Leon, are both entered in the
Salem stake raoe. Hope our friends
will be lucky.
If the state and district fairs are de
pending upon tbe appropriations made
at the luBt attempt to huve a session of
legislature, or for the celeiity in whioh
Secretary Eiooaid is pushing out the
state's promises to pay, tbe 1 aces will
never be burdened with cash.
Some person did some moonliitht
work out on tbe track the other night
which was seen just as plainly as though
it bad been high noon. Awful inquisi
tive people in this world, "aiut it."
Tbe Darktown stables have the well
earned honor of the best decorated
quarters iu the colony. Tbe D irktowo
and otber piotnres are numerous.
Their horses are io good condition and
the bo.vs fi el ooiifideut ot "scooping tbe
woiks."
Sport baa been all 'round and finds
that confidence abounds in profusion.
It is ol the MoKioley variety. There
are a good many sure winners for every
raoe and I tie number is increaeiog.
Sport has two horses out on tbe
range that have good breeding and
good appetites. They were supposed to
be lost but unfortunately they were seen
near town last week. Sport remembers
having paid hay and grain bills on them
to the amount of 8225, and as tbe horses
cost $22 be has been busy for tbe past
two years in figuring out tbe profits.
Matlock's stables show up some splen
did horses this year. 'Tie true that the
stable never bad more better looking
steeds at any one time. "But all that
glitters is not gold."
Cora J. is getting to be good again
and Jim Jones will put op tbe CHsh that
she can win. Yesterday she beosme
obstreperous and the rider. Widge Wbet
atone, got bluffed out aud slid off to the
ground. Widge, you must have 11101 e
b' Ckbooe if you wiaii tj win bonoia on
the laoe course.
The Neverbweats have out a petition
asking that tbe races be run on Main
street so that lbs members thereof ran
preserve their dignity and merobersbrp
io tbe order and yet enjoy the sport. A
Neversweal will never disgrace himself
by walking in the sun a halt mile even
to see a horse raoe. Besides it is un
constitutional. Several biike are said to be doing a
general banking business io towo be
sides the First National.
