SPOKANE.
The racing season of 1889 Is well under
way, and bids fair te equal that of last year.
The earliest surprises were the defeat of
Frocter Knett twice by Spokane, the first
time at the D.-rby, tha second for the Clark
Italics at Louisville, and the winning of the
Brooklyn h-m-lleap by Crib. Procter Knett
wan beaten p uvly en hi merits, nnd his de
feat ha plunged tils admirers into the depths
of uiicei taliity, True, he h bien defeated,
but he U by irj means dena for.
Procter Knett Is a big, impetuous, coarse
looking anl nal, and shows ue evldouee of his
high rati of fijead. Spokaue, the herse
wlilch c!i T up irnett se easily, is owned by
Neah Armstrong and Is by Hyder All, dam
Intel ei and in n grand looking colt, just
about the sanie size nnd build as Procter
Knett. He started ence befere this season
in the Montgomery stakes at Memphis, and
was a geed second te Strldcaway, although
then ml nearly fit.
The uncertainty of racing nnd the Inability
of favorites te w In when expected was very
well demonstrated in tbe recent Brooklyn
handicap. Kvery one knows hew Exile, an
8 te 1 chance, defeated such flyers as Hanover,
Terra Cetta, T.lkwoed and Prince Royal.
Exile weu easily by a length and a half, and
ence mei e demonstrated that he is one of the
most valuable handicap horses en the turf to
day. He is almost Invincible at any distance
ever a mlle and a half.
EXILE'S nKCORD.
Exile was foaled at Rancocas, the property
of Pierre Lerillnrd, In 1882. He was sired
by Mr. Lorillard's imported horse Morte Merte
mer, and his dam was the great mare Sec
ond Hand. He did net give premise of un
usual merit as a 3-year-old, winning but

twice In ordinary company. As a 3-year-old
he showed seme speed, and when 4 years old
he was iKWgut out of a selling race for
12,500 by his present owner, William Lake
land, of Brighten Beach, who has been re
markably successful with him, establishing
a bct en record for n mlle and five furlongs,
at Sheepshead Bay en Sept. 11, 18SC, when
he put up 115 pounds end covered the dis
tance in 2:4Sf. Exile ran third te Dry
Monepolo and Blue Wing for the inaugural
Brooklyn handicap, three years age, and
third agaiu last year te The Bard and Han
over. Among tbe races he has wen are the Bay
Ridge handicap, a sweepstakes, one mile and
a half, with 121 pounds up, in 2:3-i, or half
a second slower than the record; the Sfay Sfay
flener haudicap, hi which he ran a mile and

T in City handicap, one and a quarter miles,

Fiiciuloneef the hardest races she had last
year nt Monmouth Parle nnd in the Harvest
handicap, being beaten by half a length.
LAST SEASON'S WINNINGS.
Last season was in many respects an excep
tionally brilliant one. Neverbcfere were the
stakes be large, the racers se evenly matched,
the crowds se large, the betting se spirited.
It will no doubt be of Interest te many te
knew the amounts wen by some of the fa
vorites during the past season) the following
will be found very accurate.
Procter Knett leads the list with 169,760,
wen in six races. Sir Dixen comes next with
137,020, wen in six races. Emperor of Nor
folk is third w ith $."0,710, wen in nine races,
rireuzi, considered by many the queen of the
tuif, is next en the list witli (33,040, wen in
thirteen races. The Bard and Terra Cetta,
although net next in order of winnings, have
the neat sum of $20,410 and (15,130 respec
tively against their names.
sin DIXO.W
New records weie maile for four distances
last year: Daniel B,, at Helena, M. T., made
of a mlle in 0:S4Jf. Wheeler T. ran 1 1-10
miles nt St. Leuis in 1:47. Terra Cetta,
carrying 124 pounds, ran 1 miles at Sheeps
head Bay in 1:53. Tnbeulct made ltf miles
at Ban I'rancisce in 2;2ljf.
When tbe season commenced last year tha
Emperor of Norfolk nnd The Bard were
looked upon as sure winners; the Emperor
of Norfolk in the 3-ycar-eld class, the Bard
In all-age competitions. They both broke
down before the season was half ever, and
these who had placed their ceifldence nnd
money en them were forced te llnd ether
animals te help them out; net a very easy
task, with a field full of dark horses, and a
whele army of racers being saved up for
special eveuts.
The Emperor of Norfolk was a stayer;
neither weight nor length of distance seemed
te luuenny effect en him. When he broke
down pcople were ready te blame hU owner,
nnd the sympathizers of "Lucky" Baldwin
dubbed him "Unlucky" Baldwin. That The
Bard nus one of the grcntest race horses that
America has ever produced there is no deny
ing It was a great pity that he broke down
just as his owner was preparing te send him
te England te race against the cracks there,
The Baid was stricken down with inflamma
tion of the lungs, and for a time bis life was
despaired of, but by skillful nursing he was
brought through the crisis, and America's
"Turf King" was saved te the public.
A BRIGHT OCTLOOK Til IS YEAH.
Firenzi U considered by many te be tha
queen of the turf, She started sixteen tunes
li.t season and wen nine races. She wen the
great Leng Island stakes, the Average stakes,
lie Monmouth handicap, the Champieu
Hut-, the Freehold stakes, the Monmouth
CUD. She ran third. in thttihihiirlutn lu -

and lovely of the thoroughbred. She is
ltng, low and decidedly delicate looking; in
fact ehe gives ue DroeitM of her great speed
and sta Ing power, but she hat demonstrated
that she has all the race horse qualities. In
the race for the .Freehold stakeaFirenn de
feated The Bard in a magnificent race.
Terra Cetta ie what ia known as an unlucky
horse. Just when he ought te win he loses,
ml when every one leek for him te lese the
n ins. Several times during the ten-eii of '8
he bad victory snatehed from him in the
last jump. A horn that was only beaten
by a half head, a aUte aad a quarter, in 2.-07,
is certainly a flrtt etas hena.

It Is Impossible te foretell the results of the
numerous races, but the outlook for an ex
ceptionally successful season Is very bright.
A NEW CENTERBOARD.
With It a ltnat Can Head night Up Inte
the Eye of the Wind.
Assemblyman M. J. Tynan, of Stapleton.
proposes te select out of any fleet of seventy
feet beats or under the poorest one en the
wind, provided she runs at a geed pace with
a free sheet, and at his own expense put into
her trunk his new kind of centerboard, which
he guarantees will make her a wonder in
windward work, says The New Yerk Sun.
A slight alteration In the shape of the
trunk, without any change whatever in the
slot in the keel, is all that will be necessary;
se'that the beat cannot possibly be Injured
by the change. Several experts, he says, te
whom he showed this contrivance, have
spoken In the highest terms of it. It consists
of two sliding beards that fit neatly into each
ether, nnd form an immense "rocker"' or
crescent shaped keel One or both can be
used nt wilt, and they can be lead leaded if
necessary.
Se far as it has gene this centerboard has
an interesting history. Seme years age Mr.
Tynan was an enthusiastic, yachtsman. In
1B73 be owned n beat called the Elizabeth.
She was fast before the wind, but was a
worthless bundle of beards when close
hauled. It was this radical defect that set
him thinking about a novel style of. beard

that would held her up te her work, and the
result was the invention for which he ob
tained a caveat In June of the same year.
TVith this windward machine in her trunk
be enteral the Elizabeth far the Bayonne
regatta In September, 1S73.
He was laughed at for "tending such a tub
te compete with fast beajs," but surprises are
always in order en the water, ami the Eliza
beth, after keeping company with the yachts
en the free run, walked through the fleet and
made them leek likea pack of hounds after a
fox when she get down te business en the
wind. The prize was n beautiful French
clock, which Mr. Tynan still keeps as a tro
phy, with the lecerd of the race. In the
Stapleton Yacht club races he entered his
beat, and she wen the citizens' cup three
times, contending with beats considerably
larger than she.

NEW YORK'S PROPOSED CATHEDRAL
One of the l'eur I'lnns from Which a
Selection May Ite Made.
Of tlie designs furnished the trustees
of the proposed Episcopal Cathedral of
St. Jehn the Divine, te be built at New
Yerk, four were eet apart for elabora
tion, nnd from tliesa four it is probable
that one, may be selected. Se important
a matter must necessarily be slew of set
tlement, ami it i3 net likely that nny do de
sign will be selected U-foie the begin
ning of next year. Indeed, the present
year will doubtless be ended befere the
designs are elaborated.
The plan which is the joint work of
Geerge Martin Huss and Jehn II. Buck,
of New Yerk, stands high in favor. Tlie
architects liave designed the cathedral
in the usual form of such structures, r
cress; and from the junction of the nave
nnd transepts i isca n magnificent spire.
The material suggested for the outside is
granite or "Wyoming valley or "Warsaw
blue stene and Indiana buff limestone.
It h proposed te face tlie walls with
wrought stene and mnrble shafts and
slabs. Tlie reef abeve the vaulting is te
be of iron, filled in witli fire proof blocks
and covered witli lead or copper.

Te knew hew te swim Is a very Important
accomplishment for a man, woman or child,
net alone because of the fact that swimming
is one of the beat, if net the best, of all recre

but becanse there are times when knowing
hew te swim will save one's life. It is an
ancient art, and an art that as an athletle
sport Is being very much appreciated at the
present time.'
MODES Or SWIMMIXO.
Professional swimmers differ very mate
rially in their modes and methods of teach
ing beginners,
though they oil aim
te accomplish the
same results te
have their pupils
learn as rapidly as
possible and he a
credit te their In
structor. A swim
ming teacher says
swimming Is as
easy as rolling off
of a leg when one
knows hew. That
Is just where tha
trouble lies; the
idea should be te
first teach the pupil
hew, and after
ward, no doubt, he
will find it as easy
as described. Te
teach him te swim'81 rEnnwmcuLAll
is what Is desired, 'Watino position.
and te tell hlra swimming Is easy te learn is
all right, but that fact does net make the ac
complishment of the nrt any easier. Hun
dreds of geed swimmers in the United States
can never remember having learned, and
they say it enme natural te them the first
time they entered the water, as if they were
amphibious, se te speak, yet it seems strange
that hundreds of ethers say they mastered
tbe art only after a hard struggle. Then
they foundeut It was very easy hen they
knew hew. Hundreds of ethers who are still
trying te learn fear that they cannot accom
plish the task.
THE FIRST TntNO TO MCMIMBEn.
Professer Jehn Robinson, one of the great
est swimmers in the United States, recently
said te a Bosten Herald reperter:
"The first thing that should be Impressed
upon the mind of a beginner before he starts
out te learn te swim is that he is lighter than
the water, Rnd that with lungs Inflated and
body below the water he can't possibly sink,
as it is perfectly natural for him te float.
Then, again, he should have self confidence.
"When he finds thet by following directions
he can float, he will readily see hew little ef
fort is required en his part te cnable him te
drive his body through the water. After
this he can eventually becomean expert If he
has the proper i cqulsltes and will train and
practice. This prlnciple should be taught te
all beginners before they enter the water.
TO FLOAT rKnrENDICULAKLT.
"Te float perpendicularly is the easiest
thing a human being can de in the wnter, and
jyjmA?f-t'
EASIEST HORIZONTAL rLOATIKO POSITION.
is what every man, woman or child who falls
overboard or Is thrown into the water beyond
their depth should attempt If they cannot
swim. Te float In a jierpendlcular jiositlen
ene assumes the most natural attitude, as is
shown in the cut Illustrating the easiest per
(icndlcular floating position. The man should
have his hands down by his hips, his head
thrown well hack, and allot bis body sub
merged up n line drawn from Just below his
ears te his mouth. If he lifts his arms out of
the water or throws his hands up ever his
head be will sink unless by a treading action
with his feet he keeps himself up. Hlsluugs
should, of course, be Inflated te enable liku te
keep his head abeve w ater unless he is n man
with an enormous front knapsack that will
never let him sink.
"A man who cannot swim, but who Is forced
overboard, and must de something te save
himself from drowning, should always at
tempt this, the easiest of floating attitudes.
Then he should have confidence enough from
the fact that he Is lighter than the water te
permit himself te be submerged, as far as
his mouth, or a little higher, without throw
ing up hU hands, raising an outcry, thus ex
haling the air from his lungs, and going te tbe
bottom. Very f e w people ever float or attempt
te float In a. perpendicular manner, as most
of them prefer te float In a horizontal posi
tion, lying en their backs.
rLOATISO ON THE HACK.
"Next te the perpenMcAdar floating the
floating en the back is the easiest thing te de
in the water. Te float en your back in the
easiest manner you must, of course, have
your lungs inflated, keep your limbs rigid,
threw your head well back and place your
hands ever your head, holding your arms
straight clot up te your ears. If your lower
limbs are heavy nnd they will net come en
n level with your body when you lie in the
water, you can, by holding a light weight of
seme kind in your hands ever your Lend,

bring the lower limbs nnd the feet up te, or
above, tha surface. It is generally under
stood that in fieh water it ii much harder
te float than In water that is mere dense, as
the buoyancy In dcnr.0 water is much greater
than in fiesh water. It Is net generally
understood, but Is n fact, that It Is mere
difficult te fleit in warm than In cold water,
as warm water I less dense than cel J water.
"The mera dense the water the higher the
body will rise out of it. A mau with the
greatest lung capacity and lightest limbs aud
Imdy will, of course, float better than a man
with heavy limbs nnd very little lung capac
ity. Exjvrts increase their lung capacity In
the same manner as great singers by practic
ing inhaling a full breath and holding it as
long as lessible. Novices should de likewise
and learn hew te breathe without emptying
the lungs fully after each breath, in the
water one should always breathe through tha
mouth instead of the nostril i. This is be
cause you can exhale ami inhale quicker
through your mouth than through your nese,
and thu9 net lesu your buoyancy for any
great lengthef time. This manner of breath
ing is found very desirable in surf swimming
and in a choppy sen for u reason that U ob

Tlie se called breast stroke I the easiest style
of swimming te learn, and u the commonest
style in um, but It is net up te the times, be
cause a man cannot snlm wry fast if he

"At about the same tlme a man learns te
swim he shaild learn te dive. Diving is net
a very eseutial thing for n swimmer te learn,
but it adds te the charm of the nataterial
art. A man cannot !h gracefully or well
without considerable pructice, and that prac

"In swimming the breast stroke the first

it, with his arms extended at full length in
front of him, hands together, and his legs ex

AN UNSINKABLE BOAT.
A New Invention lTlileh Will Unrienbtedl?
lie of Great Value.
A great many novel contrivances have
from time te time been proposed te render a
beat unsluknble; and ene planned by J. Btone
Burbcry of Bewes deserves notice, says The
Londen Field. Hern is the body plan:
I
Tbe dimensions arc: Length ever all, 24
feet 4 Indies; length en L. W. L., SO feet 4
Inches; beam of inslde hull, 4 feet 2 Inches;
beam ever nil, 8 feet 2 Inches; draught, 3 feet
6 Inches.
Ne. 1 section is 3 feet 4 Inches from tbe f oro ero ore
sldo of the stem at L. W. L., nnd Ne. 10 It at
the stern end of the L. W. L. The ether sec
tions are S feet apart, thoeverhnngof counter
lielng 4 feet. 8he has n plinnli stem. The
dotted lines show the continuation of the
sections of the Inner hull,
The Inslde hull Is of the ordinary shape of
an old S teuner, with the two water tight
wings added afterward. Iu fact, If an ordi
nary S teuner w cre taken nnd hipped out 2
feet each slde, the sauie tei t of beat would
be produced. Iu npcarance en tlie water
she is new lilte an ordinary beamy 21 feet
lichen IkwiI with counter, the faying of the
hipping beiug out of sight under water. Mr.
Burb-ry filled the inner hull with water,
and this left her with ever a feet of frce frce
heard. In which condition he sailed her atieut
In the Selent In rough water, and found her
nearly as handy ns she Is with the Inner hull
free of water. Mr. Barbery's lda was te
build a beat which would be still manage manage
nble and unsinkable In the ense of shipping
heavy seas, and he declines himself satisfied.
Of course the results nchlecd by Mr. Bur
bc,ry could be arrited nt in a much cheaper
way by having ery hollow sections of the
old Itchcn ferry or Wlndcrincre type, and
then making n fere and nft wnter tight com
partment inside, which could le ilone hy
constructing a long galvanized Iren tunic.
It would be better for the trnnsverre steadi
ness of the beat If the greatest beam were nt
or only n llttle above the lead water line, say
nt about where the numeral 6 comes en the
section. IVe understand that Mr. Burbeiy
Intends fitting hit novel little ship with en
gines, se that she will be then a kind of steam

After all the talk about Irwin, the nhl
captain of the Phllas, It seemt he ll te stay.
President Reach was all ttlrred up ever the
gossip. He said in
a recent Interview!
"There were fifty
people In my place
of business all
morning, telling me
what a mistake I
would make In re
leasing Irwin. Talk
about the easy
times we baseball
managers have.
There were a half
hundred who
thought Irwin the
best captain In the
AntnvR mwiit.
League, and when we laid him off recently
as many mero thought Just the opposite. Ne,
t don't think we will rclease Irwin."
In another Intervlew he Is reported te have
tald: "There Is net n word of truth In the
statement, nnd I wlh yen would say se. If
Irwin is net geed enough for Philadelphia he
certainly won't de for Brooklyn. Our nlne
Is playing winning ball new and It would be
felly te think of making nny changes, and
besides 1 de net see w here I can strengthen
the club by the engagement of new players.''
As n matter of fact, Irwin Is tee valuable
a man for the Philadelphia team te lese.

club after the clese of thn latter season. Dur
ing the next two seasons that the Pittsburg
club remained In the American association,
Kuehne played third base for its team. In
1S87, when it became fl member of tha
Notional league, KujjM position was shif
ted te short step, whlle Arthur Whitney
guarded third base.
In 1888, Whitney having Joined the New
Yerk team, Kuehne returned te hU old posi
tion, where he ranked only second te Nash in
the official fielding averages at the clese of
the championship season. Although of very
heavy build, he fields exceedingly well at
either third base or shei t step. He Is also a
geed batsman, being usually te be depended
en for a hit when ene Is needed. Had the
Pittsburg club been successful in Itseffeits
te sign Ilewe and While for this season, It
was the intention of the management te play
Kuehne in the outfield, te as te have the ben
efit of hit batting.
The New Itntes.
Under the new rules thote batsmen who are
mere patient will be most succeful. It Is a
geed l ule te always hit nt a geed ball, I. e.,
where the batsman tees the ball coming nt
theholghthe wantiltnnd feels sure he can
connect with It, but thlt year he should lay
!ack and take chances en getting tha ball at
the right place. Under the new rules the
pitcher must cither put the ball ever the
pinto between tlie shoulder and knee or elra
the batter takes flrtt en called balls. This be
ing the case, the chances are In favor of the
batsman, by Imlng patient, getting n ball
jiut where he wants It, as no pitcher lias such
altvilute command of the ball that he can
putlteter the plate every time at a certain
height where he knows the man at the plate
te be unable te hit it.

attention of moneyed men who were in

and Lafnyctte read, who sent him te
Cincinnati ns receiver of the line. This
wns iu 1871, nnd be badly had it been
mnnnged that Its stock wna worth lesi
than fifty cents en the dollar, nnd the
read was seen placed in bankruptcy. In
two years Mr. Ingulls succeeded in pay
ing off the debb) and had It released
from litigation, and he was made presi
dent of the new read, organized ns the
Cincinnati, Indinnnpells, St. Leuis nnd
Chicago (Dig Four). Cincinnati was
without n Union depot, and no railroad
during theso hard times would think of
investing money in such a venture. He
went ahead, and the magnificent Union
depet, costing ever ene nnd n half mill

the ether reads were only tee willing te
purcluise part of the structure.
Mr. Ingalls also waa very successful
in refunding the debt of tlie read into 4
per cents, and he has had the pleasure of
seeing the stock
of the Big Four
sell in 1689 at 110.

GIVING LIFE, STRENGTH AND FOR
TUNE FOR AN IDEA.'
A Man Whom Thousands Shewld Sever
nee, for ills Thought Oave Tlient Henes.
Is New tvnr and Frlendlets Semi ta-
terestlng Tacts About IIU Life and vfwrfc.
In the village of New Albany, 0.,
few miles from Columbus, lives n oc
togenarian, ence famous under the so
briquet et "Land Bill Allen." His nam
is William Allen; he devoted the best
years of his life te securing the pas
sage of the homestead act nnd ether law
favoring land ownership; he spent lilt
fertune in that work, and is new wast
ing away in n dilapidated old farm house,
dependent en charitable neighbors for
the liare necessaries of life. There la a
popular tradition that Dr. Jeseph Ignaea
Gullletin died by the machlne he Invent
ed; It is net true, but it shows a subtle
popular sense of the way such things
often turn out. It is true, however, that
the discoverer of the great Corastecfc
lede died in poverty, that the inventor
of the cotton gin gained nothing but law
suits hy it, and that the discoverer of
geld in California narrowly escaped pau
perism, aud even be has fate dealt with
this William Allen.
Even lil fiimn lins lnreelv been taken
from him, for of theso who heard the
name a majority naturally concluded
that the great homestead advocate was
Qovcrner William Allen ("Itlscup Will
iam Allen"), and in spitoet his persistent
disclaimer he is still credited with it.
And furthermore, it must be admitted
that the homestead act was ene of these
measures certain te have many authors;
tlie act would certainly have been passed
in time if "Land Bill Allen" had never
lived, nnd many men might still claim
the credit of originating it.
William Allen wns born in Windliant
county, Conn., in 1809, learned the
printer's trade and worked for awhile
in Newport, It. I., upon the old wooden
press .wnicn ucn
jamin Franklin
had operated.
After working in
various eflkes he
started n reform
paper called The
Meral Envey, at
Batavle.N.Y.
He subsequently
hed an interest in
ether papers. In
1831 he married
a Miss Weaver
"LAND DILL" ALLEN AND BIS HOsOE.
nnd located at Columbus, O,, in the auc
tion and commission business. He pYe v
ru.pn.1 vnntl w 1 wwnmfhi linnivnpr nf nutnv
peddler wagons nnd amassed a fortune
of twruef 10,000. It was then he mounted
his great hobby became a "first class
crank," ns his neighbors Bay,
In 1630 he was engaged in organizing
u colony for the west, and finding the
land laws unfavorable, propounded the
homestead idea. Fer n year or two he
possessed tin Idea in pcace then it pos-'
scesed him. He gave his whele tlme and
labor mid thought te it; wrete letters te
nil the publie men of the day and ull
papers which would publish them, trav
eled nnd lectured en it, nnd talked it te
all who would listen. "Ql ve each settler
100 acres of the public land," he would
say, "and make it exempt from sale en
all debts; allow no man te own mere
than 010 acres en any account; keep tha
land in thn hands of the pcople" such
were tlie texts he incessantly dinned
Inte American cars.
Among his papers he new has letter
from ncaily ull the public men of that
era, including Jehn U. Calhoun, Andrew
Jehnsen, Heraco Qrecley, Oerrit Smith,
Stephen A. Douglas and many ether.
He printed his jxinted sentences en tha
backs of envelopes, en cards and small
handbills, and Heeded the country with
them. He ran for congress and the state
lcglaloture as a land candidate, his ticket
being headed, "Vote Yourself a Farm,"
but was, of course, defeated, neither
Whigs nor Democrats turning from their
party tickets. At last the homestead act
vim passed, but Mr. Allen's fertune was
geno and he was tee old te make another.
His wlfe died, and he has outlived oil hU
children nnd grandchildren.
In his old heuse there is but ene room
even iiassably fit for habitation, and
6trangcrs would never knew the place
had n tenant, as the building is barely
strong enough te stand up and the old
man never gees abroad. He lives in
terror of being forcibly removed te the
peer heuse and is suspicious of strangers.
During ene very cold season the neigh
bors did net bce hlra for three days, and
when found he was almost dead of cold
and hunger. It Is new proposed that
theso who have benefited by his labors
should raise a fund for his support; but
mankind ure apt te cenclude that ene
should leek out a little for himself in his
days of btrcngth. The ruerr.' of Land
Bill Allen's lifu is obvious; no man should
sacrifice himself with any idea of popu
lar reward.
