A RACING
By G. A
A garden swarm
ing -with that lux
urious profusion
of flowers and veg
etable growth snch
as only the tropics
can produce, stood
a young couple
who. had met for
a hasty interview.
Though both were
fully aware that it
was time to part,
they stood there, unable to tear them
selves away from each other. It was
the old, old story, which has never a
beginning, and never will have an
cud, while the warm, young blood courses
through the veins of generations of youths
and maidens.
The young man was Douglas Dene, a
private in the th regiment, then stationed
at Fort "William in Calcutta. The maiden,
whom he held so tenderly and fondly, was
his colonel's daughter, Grace Boss.
Douglas, though of good family, and a
fine manly fellow, possessed of brilliant
abilities, was not blessed with an abundance
of wealth. Failing to get on at home.he had,
in a'moment oi recklessness, joined the th,
just as the regiment was about to sail ior
India.
The commanding officer of the regiment,
Colonel Boss, was a widower, with this one
daughter, Grace. She was a modest,
gentle girl, fairly idolized by the old
Colonel, and being very much attached to
her father, she accompanied him when he
left England with his regiment Grace and
Douglas, in the course of events, had become
acquainted with each other, and a mntual
love sprang up in their hearts, though both
felt that the Colonel would have objected,
had he known or it Douglas hesitated for
some time, his lack of means troubling him
a great deal, bnt finally he went to the
Colonel and frankly told him of the feelincs
he entertained for Grace, admitting that al
though he was not in a position to think of
JUNO HAS -VTOX, BUT SHK
marrying, ret he hoped before long to make
s name and position for himself.
At first the fiery veteran was too surprised
to speak; the presumption of one of his pri
vates in aspiring to his daughter's hand,
for the moment overpowered him. When
he recovered from his astonishment, how
ever, the Colonel stamped and rased in the
most violent manner, threatening Douglas
-with confinement in the guardroom, and
everv punishment known in the military
category. The young suitor lett the house
in a very despondent state of mind, and was
fnrbidden to come near the clace again,
Grace at the same time receiving strict in
junctions to have nothing more to do -with
him. She, poor girl ! attempted to obey her
father's commands, but Donglas had man
aged to see her, after much contriving and
waiting, and had pleaded so earnestly for
himself, that he obtained her promise to
meet him whenever his military duties per
mitted him to get away, and they held brief,
stolen interviews in the pnblic gardens.
In the mean tim" another suitor for his
daughter's hand had aroused the Colonel's
wrath, and even made him resort to violent
measures in his extreme indignation A
fat apathetic Hindoo, Zemindar, had felt
his sluggish nature moved bv Grace's
charms, and, after turning the subject over
in his mind for some time, had concluded
that, as he was wealthy and of high caste,
the Colonel would probably esteem it an
honor if he sought to lead Grace to the altar.
Acting upon this, he went to the Colonel's
honse, and broached the subject, and was
promptly kicked off the premise by the
infuriated Colonel as soon as the fist inkling
of what Bam Singh wanted, occurred to
him; and after that, the very sight of the
luckless Zemindar would send the fiery
old veteran into a terrible passion.
Matters had been very quiet after this,
no change of any kind occurring, and
Douglas was getting more low-spirited every
day- Promotion seemed as far off as ever,
and. his lot, cast among uncongenial and
rough, though good-hearted men. was far
from being a desirable one. The Colonel, who
once upon a time used to speak in a friendly
way to Douglas whenever he passed him,
now utterly ignored him, and the young
private Xeltnis position keenly. A change
came at last, however, and Douglas had
an opportunity of distinguishing himself in
a very unlooked-for way. The Colonel
was a keen, ardent lover of racing,
and indulged in the sport to a very large ex
tent being a well-known figure on the Cal
cutta Maidan track. He had lately im
ported an English thoroughbred mare named
Juno, and confidently hoped to capture the
"Dord Dnfferin Handicap" with her, this
being the most important event of the Cal
cutta racing season. The race course there
is a large one, wilh a very fine track, where
many good events and fast horses are to be
found. Many of the rich Hindoos have
taken to racing, and eagerly compete with
the .Europeans ior me prizes onerea tne
color que'stion so prominent there of late
making each party strive hard for the dis
comfiture of the other.
Bam Singh, Grace's quondam and baaly
nscd admirer, had also been figuring on
the Dnfferin Handicap, and had given a
fabnlous sum for a celebrated Arabian flyer
that had achieved a wide reputation "by
virtue of his many wins, and which, more
over, could stand training in the climate
better than an imported horse.
The dav was close at hand for the race,
when the jockey that was to ride for Colonel
Boss was taken ill with jungle fever, and
Juno was without a rider, every jockey in
the country being disposed of, too, making,
it impossible to run the mare, unless some
nnforeseen circumstance should happen. In
vain Juno's owner begged certain stables
for their riders lor the Handicap; they all
had horses running in it, too, and all were
confident of winning, so kept their jockeys
Jor theirown entries.
Bumor had it that the Colonel had
staked his all upon his mare winning the
race, and still no rider had been engaged
to pilot her in the struggle. Matters stood
this way, when DouglasB received a note
from Grace, informing iim of the fix that
her father was in, and begging him to ride
Juno, and to win, whatever happened, as
the Colonel would feel the disgrace keenly,
if the Zemindar beat him especially. Bam

ROMANCE.
SYKES.
Singh had been widely boasting that he
would beat the Colonel, and talked of his
Arab horse as a sure winner.
Grace knew that Douglas could ride, for
he had often entertained her with accounts
of the-meets at home, and she was sure that,
with Douglas riding the mare, the race
would fall to her father. It was merely for
Grace's sake that Douglas wrote to' the
Colonel, offering his services for the race.
The curt note of acceptance came in reply,
for the Colonel did not like to accept his
offer. As there was nothing else to do, how
ever, he took it
The afternoon of the race came&tlast, and'
was a terrible one; the heat was something
that actually inspired dread, and the turf
was baked hard and dry when the hour
drew near for the great race. "When the
saddling bell rang, Earn Singh's horse,
Mahomet, was the first one brought out to
be made ready for the straggle, and he was,
indeed, a picture to look at a beautiful
gray, as handsome a horse as ever stepped,
with not an ounce of superfluous flesh
on him, and with limbs and muscles like
steel. He looked, so everybody said and
thought as if he held the handicap safe.
He had the lovely bright eye of the Arab,
also the pretty, li'ile restless head.
He was a superb looking creature, and
seemed to be conscious of it, as with arching
neck and dainty step he walked down the
paddock. Ahmed, a professional Mussul
man jockey, was to ride him, and, though
skilltul, was treacherous and untrustworthy,
though he was out to do or die this time; for
the Zemindar had offered him the valne of
the purse if he should succeed in winning
it There were thousands of natives ont,
for it was a religious festival and holi
day, the Foojahs, and Cabulese in their
gay silks and enormous head-dresses, Ma
hometans in their snowy robes, and low
caste Hindoos in strings of beads and
nothing else to speak of, had all gathered
there to see the event, and hope for the vic
tory of the Oriental representative.
"I hope that confounded Zemindar's horse
won't win," growled one of the English
diplomats in the inclosnre, "These natives
are getting too impudent, aping their betters
nowadays."
"I hope not," either.rejoined a bystander,
"but it is useless hoping that Mahomet can
run right away from anything in the field,
and I have backed him to win me a nice
little stake. Look at him now, coming out
STAGGEBS AND FALLS.
of the paddockl By Jove! he looks every
inch a winner, and it is a thousand pities
that he is owned by a Hindoo."
Juno now came out, looking -fit to run for
her life and to a close, true judge of horse
flesh, promised both speed and staying qual
ities; bnt to the general public, native and
European, she did not contrast at all favor
ably with the showy Mahomet Donglas
knew that Juno could take the fences better
than Mahomet, and he also knew that the
latter was the faster on the flat; so he had
resolved to try to win his race at the jumps,
and be far enough ahead to prevent Ahmed
catcning mm in tne straight run lor home.
The race was to be a three-mile one, and
Bam Singh's horse and Juno were at even
weights; though, had he desired, Colonel
Boss could have obtained ten pounds allow
ance, as allowed gentlemen riders over pro
fessionals: bnt this he disdained to do, mak
ing" it all the harder for Douglas, and all
the easier for the Arab s rider, Ahmed.
The Arab was a hot favorite in the bet
ting ring, the crowds pressing round the
bookmakers, pouring their money on him at
even money rates, while very few seemed to
fancy Juno, except a few of the Colonel's
friends. There was a large field of horses
running, but three were only thought to
nave a cnanre in it ny tne Knowing ones:
Hahomet, Juno, and another English im
portation named Cyril.
"The race lies between ttie Arab, CvriJ,
and the Colonel's imported crack." sa'id a
tall, thin indigo planter, as the horses filed
through the gate, "and for my part. I would
fancy the mare, if she had anyone on
her "back who could ride, but I hear she
has a soldier in the saddle, and he will
throw the race away."
The Colonel's regiment is almost there In
its entirety, and a ringing cheer from the
men follows Donglas as he parades with the
rest past thegrand stand. He looks up for.
some one that he knew would be watching
with eager eyes, and sees her. Yes, there
she is! smiling sweetly, dressed in the
Colonel's colors, bine and white; unable to
make any sign of recognition; but the rider
has seen that smile, and knows how much it
means, and to whom it is given.
The Colonel is at the starting-post, look
ing very queer, and as Douglas rides up.
the Colonel, after a combat with himself,
goes up to him, and, holding ont his hand)
says:
"I am sorry that trouble should have ever
occurred between ns, Dene. I cannot help
liking you, and would do anything for von.
with that one exception, but I can't see my
girl marry a poor man."
"Colonel Bos," Douglas replies, "it is
only my lack of means that you object to. is
it not?" '
"That's all," answers the Colonel. "If
you were able to keep Grace happy and
comfortable, you should have her; it is
only my love "for the girl that makes me act
this way."
The Colonel started to walk awav. hesi
tated, then came back, saying:
"Dene, there is one thing more X want to
tell you; the fact is, I have foolishly plunged
on my mare, and if I lose it will be more
than I can stand. I shall be insolvent and
penniless. Win this race, or I shall be en
tirely swamped. But, see! the starter is
getting impatient; so go on, and good luck
to you."
"Confound the lad!" mutters the Colonel
as he walks away. "I believe I shall have
to give Grace to him, after all. She frets
about him, though she thinks I don't notice
it; and he is a fine fellow, but hang it! he's
as poor as Job, and I've got nothing to start
them with." p
While the Colonel is soliloquizing, the
starter is arranging the field, and, getting
them into good shape, drops 'his flag 3nd
sends them off. Juno can stay at a clinking
pace, if she can only stand the terrific heat,
so her rider takes her right to the front, and
makes the pace at what he thinks she can
stands; and yet have a burst of speed left in
her after the last fence. Next to him is the
horse Cyril, a big, wiry-looking bav, with a
jockey up, in a black jacket, with white
sleeves, closely followed by Mahomet, with
Bam Singh's colors up, a bright scarlet
jacket, and cap of the same color. The
field keeps well bunched up together, and
all go well over the first jump, and come to
another, which the first three clew like
birds. Douglas bears a crash in the rear,
and knows that some catastrophe has hap
pened, bnt is so Ally occupied that he is
unable to look back.
The pitiless sun is blazing down upon the
Haidan course, and poor Juno is already
covered with lather. It is cruel to ask her to
do those three miles under that sun, before
she has grown accustomed or inured to the
terrific heat Mahomet does not mind it as
he gallops along; Cyril has been under it
for two vears. and has grown comparatively
.indifferent to it also; consequently, the mare
is at a great disadvantage, uougias ware
he is trying his mount too much, so eases
np a little, and the big bay passes to the
front, and Mahomet, coming from the reari
is bounding along by Juno's side, with the
cunning Ahmed leering up into Dene's face.
The bay takes the next fence three lengths
in front of the rest, and the mare and the
Arab go over it tcgether. As they drop on
the other side, Ahmet brings his whip sharp
ly down on his horse's flank, gives him his
head tor an instant, and as he bounds past
Juno, draws his left rein suddenly and
swings his horse right across the mare's
front Douglas sees the treacherous move,
but barely in time, and Juno is nearly up
set She is thrown entirely out of her stride,
but her rider promptly recovers her and soon
catches up to Mahomet, who was also shaken
by the shock. They have both lost a good
deal of gronnd by the Mussulman's foul
trick, and Cyril is now so far ahead that it,
is very doubtful if they can catch him again;
but, anyhow, Juno must race home in front
of the scarlet jacket, if snch a thing is pos
sible. There is still & third ot the distance to
go, and the big bay, still far in the lead,
comes to a water jump, which he decidedly
refuses, and the Arab and Juno close up to
him, take the fence and pass him before he
decides to go over, which be does right
after them, probably influenced by their ex
ample, and follows at the pace they are set
ting. The three fancied horses have drawn
away from the rest of the field, one horse
still refusing the second hurdle.
.Now Douglas lets Juno out a little, to
"feel" the Arab, and see how much he has
left in him. One more fence, one water
jump, and they will be in the straight if
Juna is to win, she must do it now or never.
Calling on the mare, she increases her
speed, takes the hurdle well and cleanly,
and then gallops for the water jump, with
the Arab hanging on determinedly at her
flank. Mahomet does not like jumping; he
is a better flat racer, and has already had
more timber-topping than he cares about
He fenced the last hurdle in a very slovenly
fashion, even showing a slight disposition
to refuse it.
Now for the water I Itjs a big jump, and
wide enough to test a fresh horse, far more
one that has already raced the better part
of three miles, and "some skillful horseman
ship is necessary to help and encourage the
already tired horses to take it successfully.
Gathering the mare well together, Douglas
dashes at the water, for he knows well that
a good impetus is necessary to take him
across and land him firmly on the other
side. Juno pricks up her ears, makes the
rush, and then leaps for the other side.
Good! She has cleared it though with
nothing to spare. Mahomet, rising at the
same time, does not do so well, tailing
splash into the stream, and taking some
time to scramble out again. Cyril clears it,
too. and now he and the Arab", who has re
gained his stride, are straining to catch 1
Juno.
The sun has told npon the mare, and she
is reeling like a drunken man, and staggers
once or twice, as if abou: to fall. It re
quires the nicest art to brace her up and
steady her, and it is necessary to apply the
whip sharply. Donglas is now riding ior
dear life, and, glancing hastily over his
shoulder, sees' Mahomet a length behind;
the bay neck and neck with him,
and, to'his alarm, both coming fast and vig
oronslv. "They'll catch him!" "They'll catch
him!" "Mahomet wins!" are the yells that
come from the crowd. The excitement
among the spectators is at its highest pitch,
and the natives are raving and frantic.
The uproar becomes deafening, thousands of
voices urging on the horses, and yelling at
the riders to do their utmost
Nearer and nearer creep up the two
horses, until they are only a neck behind
the leader; the scarlet jacket the light blue
and white, and the black with white sleeves,
are engaged Jn a furious struggle as to
which colors shall pass the post firt Every
nerve and muscle of riders and horses is
at its utmost tension; every art known
to the jockeys is being exercised, and it
is a pace that kills. The light whips
sizz through the air, and rain down upon
the horses' flanks, as with outstretched
necks and staring eyes the animals extend
themselves to the last inch that is in them.
Two more lengths ! The wire is near, and
the issue is still doubtful. It will be a case
of the survival of the fittest, and so far all
three seem equally good. One more length!
jxow, Juno, now I a nasu past the wire, as
with one magnificent-, effort the gallant
mare shoots to the front, and the blue and
white catches the judge's eye. Juno has
won, but it has used all of her remaining
vital powers, and she staggers and falls,
in front of the paddock, never to rise again
and bear the silken jacket While they are
attending to her, Donglas weighs in, and
the race is settled for tne Colonel, as the
numbers go up on the board.
Great is the rejoicing among the Euro
peans, and congratulations are showered
upon the Colonel from all sides.
The indigo planter who made the remark
about the mare having only a soldier to ride
her, now says:
"By Jupiter! I shall have to cultivate
that soldier's acquaintance. That was the
prettiest piece of riding I've ever seen. j.
like the looks of that fellow, too. He's a
gentleman, I'll swear, even if he is only a
soldier. I did him a gross injustice."
Douglas passes the stand after weighing
in, and pays little heed to the noisy applanse
of the crowd. He looks up, and meets his
reward in the radiant look from the sweet
face in the stand.
After the race a little scene occurred that
was not down on the programme. One of
the Irish soldiers had seen and remembered
Ahmed's foal attempt to throw Juno at the
hurdle, and was for five minutes actively,
and I fear agreeably, engaged in ponnding
the Mussulman; "takin " as he afterward
explained, "a little impudince ont of the
haythen divil."
The indigo planter, having taken a fancy
to Douglas, sought him out, and let fall jn
the course of conversation that he was in
need of a partner, and suggesting that
Douglas joinhim.
After discussing the subject, Douglas
agreed to it, and purchased his discharge
from the regiment
As soon as he was established in business,
Donglas went to see the Colonel, and ob
tained his consent to a match with his
daughter, the veteran presenting his daugh
ter with a handsome nheque upon the wed
ding day.
In the house of the newly married couple
hangs a large picture of Juno, the winner of
the Uniterm handicap, and, according to
Donglas, the winner of "his happiness.

Chicago, November 23. In wheat a good
speculative business was transacted to-day, at
a further decline in prices. There was rather
heavy liquidation of December wheat, and dif
ferences widened to 44Mc between Decem
ber and May. The opening was weak, and
prices declined c for December and c for
May, rnied quiet later in the session, and
closed ,a lower for December and Kc
lower for May than closing figures yesterday.
Liberal receipts of spring wheat and prospects
of an increase of 6,750,000 bushels to 2,250,000
bushels in the visible supply were the weaken
ing influences. European advices noted a
quieter and easier feeling. For the week ex
port clearances aggregated 215,000 packages ot
flour and 500,000 bushels of wheat, being nearly
100,000 packages less of flour and 300,000 bushels
less of wheat than last week.
'Corn But little interest was manifested in
this market, trading being limited to local oper
ators, and fluctuations confined to Yt&Afi
range. The feeling at.tlmes was easy, bnt the
market on the whole was steady, values show
ing little if any change from yesterday.
Oats were weaker with a fair volume of trad
ing in May, bnt little of consequence was done
in the near futures, and, as offerings were free,
prices declined c. May declined c on selling
by two large traders, but reacted HHo on
buying by a heavy operator, and the market
closed steady.
In mess pork trading was fairly active and
the feeling was easier. Prices ruled 1012c
lower and the market closed steady.
Lard An unsettled and weak feeling pre
vailed and prices ruled 710c lower, due
chiefly to the decline in the New York market.
8hort Rib Sides A comparatively light trade
was reported, and no particular changes were,
reported. Prices rather favored buyers.

HIDES AHD HARNESS LEATHER DULL.
Office of Pittsburg Dispatch,
Saturday, November 13. 1888. J
The past week's weather has been very
unfavorable to any active movement in-
trade lines. Incessant rains and bottomless
country roads have very much curtailed
trade with rural districts in this section. A.
continuance of this condition of things a
few days more will, without doubt, produce
a scarcity and higher prices in many lines
of country produce. The supply of game
and poultry has been abundant the past week
or more, and prices have shown Increasing
tendencies. From present outlook, especially
if the weather continues soft, markets will be
firmer next week.
The American Thanksgiving bird will, no
doubt, be in fair supply next week, but prices
will be steeper than usual. One Liberty street
commission merchant reports that he will hare
A Carload of Llvo Torkejs
for sale early in the week. Others report large
expectations la this line. The near West Is
our main source of supply in poultry lines this
season. The home crop is unusually light.
The late spring of 18S9 caused a short crop in
all poultry lines. The result ot this is seen In
the great scarcity of fresh eggs. The crop of
young chickens and young turkeys has not for
many seasons been as short in this vicinity of
Pittsburg as it is this fall.
Country peddlers report that it is utterly Im
possible to meet demands of customers. The
difficulty of securing stuff and the wretched
condition of country roads the past few weeks
make the peddler's calling anything but an
enviable one. Customers are clamoring for
poultry and eggs and nearby farmers have
little to sell, as compared with former seasons.
But, beyond all this, as above intimated, the
roads are in snch condition that the little stuff
that can be gathered is with great difficulty
brought to market. A leading produce com
mission merchant thus puts the situation of
trade:
Ono Good Effect of It.
"We have had a fairly active week, in spite
of adverse weather, and trade has been better
than last week. The condition Of country roads
has be'en in one sense an advantage, as we have
been overcrowded with stuff all fall, and now
the supplies are being cleaned up. In the West
there has not been so much rain, but In the
section of which Pittsburg is the center, large
quantities have been blockaded the past week.
"Wo already feel the cood influence of this
in a more active demand for choice potatoes
and fancy apples, which have been a drug In
the markets for some time past. There is also
an improved demand for good, heavy, ripe
cabbage."
Poor stock in all vegetable and frnit lines is
neglected. The week has shown a steady and
growing demand for sweet potatoes with ad
vancing prices. Tropical fruits are quiet.
Florida oranges are coining in freely, and next
week promises some large supplies in this line.
In the line of dairy products the week shows a
growing demand and firmer prices in good
goods. Fine grades of cheese are being, ab
sorbed in Eastern markets, and It Is about as
certain as anything in the future can be, that
higher prices will come next week.
Groceries Quite Steady.
The expected rise in coffee and sugar has
failed to materialize. A week ago markets
were very feverish on account of Brazilian
troubles, and the prevailing opinion among
jobbers was that a sharp advance was sure to
come. Coffee options have been tending up
wards all the week In Eastern markets; but,
for .some inexplicable reason, packages are un
changed. Sugars are In the same boat with
coffee. Markets have been very firm all the
week, but there has been no advance. The
movements of groceries continues very active.
Trade has been good m spite of adverse
weather, and If the Signal .Service will vouch
safe ns propitious weather the week Jo come
there is little doubt that In wholesale grocery
lmes we will have one of the liveliest weeks of
the yearto cloje np November's trade.
Cereals Moving: Slowly.)
It will be seen by reference to domestic mar
ket column that receipts of grain and hay the
past week have been unusually light, in fact
theJlghtest for several months past. Stuff is
being gradually worked off. and the tone of
markets improves. In the week past choice
oats and hay have moved upward, and are more
firmly held.
Com is scarce and tending higher. North
western millers grow firmer in their views of
flour values, and prices of last week cannot be
duplicated at this date. ,
Bides and Harness Leather.
We are now between seasons In the tanners'
trade and markets are very quiet. The stock
ot harness leather in the hands of Allegheny
tanners is growing uncomfortally large. It Is
a comfort, however, to know that the high
reputation of our product in this line will bring
a demand npon the first signs of revival. No
great activity is anticipated until after the
olldays.
Heavy steer hides are barely steady, while
buff bides and calfskins are weak and sold at
concessions. Following is the price list as fur
nished by leading dealers:
No. 1 green salted steer hides, 60 pounds and
over. 8c: No. 1 green salted cow hides, 5c; No.

Cansed In Bntlneis Circles by the Fall are of
the Lawrence Bank.
Notwithstanding a bank failure and
continuous bad weather last week influ
ences sufficient to paralyze business in any
other city the general trade lavement was
spirited in quality and large in volume,
being $2,024,000 greater than for the corres
ponding time last year, showing a degree of
prosperity that should be gratifying to the
business part of the community and discour
aging to the croakers.
The only shrinkage in values was in the
speculative commodities stocks and oil
and these were depressed simply by reason of
the withdrawal of support.
The sensation of the week in financial circles
was the failure of the Lawrence Bank, a
private Institution operating under State law,
bnt the only effect it bad npon the business ot
the city was to make bankers a little radre
cautious in scrutinizing collateral for loans.
Outside of the banks the failure was discussed
and put aside as an ordinary incident, having
no special bearing npon the general trade of
tl,A ItTT
Reports on the street Saturday afternoon
were to the effect that depositors, if not paid in
f nil, would recover at least 75 per cent. The
bank wants reasonable time to enable It to
make tbe most of fts assets, and this should not
be refused, as to act hastily would inevitably
result in the sacrifice of much valuable prep-

"Will the bank failure have a bad effect upon

This question was put to a prominent Foirth
avenue agent Saturday evening. Hla reply
was:
'Not the least. It will be a benefit. It will
cause people to buy real estate who never

will follow his example. The fact is, real es

beputinto and people are fast flnadlnglt out."

Swift's Specific entirely cured me of a saver
case of blood poison which obstinately resist
and refused to be cured for over 26 yean. Tim
regular medical remedies of mercury asd
potash only added fa el to the ftHBe. I mdten&.
during most of this long time with uloeM,
blotches and tbres of the most offensive char
acter, and was for a long time practically a
Invalid. In less than 3 daysuseof S. S.S.I
was all cleared up soand'and well. This has
been nearly a year ago, and' no sJgs of aay re
turn of the old enemy.
