~4. .4 a... A Day Among-st the Horsemen. BY OUR hPOHTIR’G EDITOR. (in Monday morning last, the 30th inst., I was aroused from quiet slumber by the merry warble of the robine discoursing their sweet songs and exchanging greetings on an old apple-tree under my bedroom window. I was at first at a loss to know wit.“ was the cause of all the merrimcnt, , hit on settling my equilibrium I realized jreference at this Beggs was next seen in his comfortable little home three miles north of the village.

I did not wait to partake of breakfast,’but just pulled on rmv moccasins and went down street. 1 first called on the genial host of the MC- Arthur House and found him in a very pleasant mood and unusually communica~ tire. “ What are the turf prospects of this town for the coming summer. John?" I asked. “Everything looks cheery,” said he. “I believe we will have a pleasant summ-“r of innocent. sput tl..ntigsl. the chargers" “ And how is Little llcc?” I enquired. " The little fellow is feeling good. He has increased in muscular tit-vel- opmcnt as well as in speed. I am satisfied there is no limit in sight to the little side- wheelcr’s velocity." " I am glad to hear it, John,” said I; “ but you are troubled a little with flatulence, sometimes, aren’t you? and probably you overestimate him. Didn‘t .ilr. Maybee's more beat him last tall?" “Yes, she did," he replied, ‘1 but IIcc was only a baby then, and had I trained another week she would not have been in it. You will see her owner’s lip drop before full Mark tny words: the Son of old Lapidist will get there right soon.” I then walked smartly across to the south ward and soon landed at MLMay. bcc's door, where a pull of the bell brought forward the worthy wielder of the birch in his usual good humored style, and I was at once escorted to the drawing room, where I made known my mission, and after a few remarks about the weather I put the usual questions l'l regard to turf prospects, etc , and nus assured that an agreeable season in the park was in sight. “I do not intend to say anything for publication,” said Mr. .llaybcc, " but I will just privately tell you that I am never much mistaken in the action of an animal, and I think I am quite safe in presuming that. this more of mine “ill rub 2.3'1 close this coming sum- mer.

I look on him now as a promising youngster.” “ Have you trained your mare any during the win- ter?” 1 enquired. "I decidedly did not," was the response. “ Author \Voodrnl‘i says ‘ give no work, turn into a box stall, feed plenty of straw, and you will have a grand development of mnscle.‘ So I took his ud- vice, hr-uco my reason for estimating hoe speed. ButI must again tell you this is private." I remarked that I most certainly would never repeat ottr conversation, and I will not further dilate on this part lest he should be. It‘ll to believe I had not kept my word. After having become imbued with the ideas of the above named gentle- man, 1 repaired to my boarding house and took breakfast, and then went out to coni- plete mymission. As I jogged leisurely along and was passing the handsome resi- dent": of Mr. llarry Austin I saw that. per- souagc hitching his splendid bay mare over at the stable door preparatory to going out to buy a earl-mil ot' the fat of the land. Hank is a jolly good fellow, and is never too much hurried to talk horse for a while, and accordingly I availed myself of the opportunity to interview him. I told him I had the opinion of several good men on the tonic at issue. and would be glad to hear from him on the subject also. He said he had no notion of training his horses any. unless to give them n race after some of tho»- cattle that want to drive the other Iuad. lle remarked casually that those fellow; «low 1 town thought that they had something marvellous in horsell‘sh. but it was the want oi" experience that it‘ll them into error “ I‘ll tell you what,“ said he, as he brought the palm of his hand down on 's --l'l"l\" ' : ..‘-l ;v' . . . lll- it; “t I" “IN” "r ‘lw'l l” at b‘ll. that all gradl-s of Soctcty Wu 1 rem-nun m m- st‘. lo and ill‘t‘d here tlmu the com- .' ~ -i‘ s ‘ is) :lliws at mus -' . . llllttl n Iort til lllt t ft ( (‘ t tori M least bpmro “H.” W!” be an“. onflnn another , up and some day I'll be pleased to con- vioru !.-t'=n of the tact Remember, I have been liit‘I'" lief-re.

I did so, and look what I have toâ€"day. There is not another one in the country to com- pare with him, either for speed or looks. Depend upon it, some of those horsemen down there will have to take mud next fall, or sooner if possible." It was now after dark, and there was one other man I must see, and that was Mr. Edward Lansiield. I got there at 9 o‘clock p. m., and found him sitting in his office on Bond street. assorting some freight bills, having just pnrtnken of a good square meal and enjoying a good smoke ofT & B brand. I need not say he was glad to see me, as all who know Ned are fully aware of his cour'cous manner; but. he did not seem very anxious to talk on the horsr question, in fa‘ct he was very reticent in his nnsw« rs to my enquiries, seeming to cure little whether the spotting world waggod or not. Said he, 4‘ I am out of the sporting circle and do not care totnlk. Howandevcr, since its yourself that's hero, I am going to tell you that lam not going to train Edward 'l‘cmple this cotning summer. No, sir. I will send for Mason and let him decapitate him before I be guilty of the likes of that again. You know I sent him to Lindsay once to train. I am told they tried to make a pacer of him then, and what was the result ? When I got. him home and put him in a. race that confounded French butcher came along with a. Clyde and done me. Will I train hint? No, sir! I have never got over the effect of that episode. 1 never get lair play here, anyway. Look at that man with the one-eyed horse always carrying the prize away from me. If I wanted to get a prizo here I would have to knock an eye out of my horse and give him to some P. P.A. to show. Will I train him? No, by dc gosh!” By this time I was convinced that Ned’s sympathies were not running in the sporting channel, so, making a polite how, I took my departure, and as it was late in the evening by this time I concluded to leave off interviewing the many others until some more con- venient time. CORRESPONDENCE. Anomalies of Criminal Law in this County. To the Editor of the Fenelou Falls Gazelle. Sm,â€" Has the way that criminal law has been administered in this county not some- thing to do with the atrocious murder late- ly committed in Lindsay? Let. us see. An unfortunate Frenchman at Fenelon Falls, some years ago, in a scuffle with the village constable, hit the least little piece off of the officer’s ear. Six months in the Central Prison. Two doctors in liobcaygeon, some years after, bad a sort of rough and tumble fight, and the assailant nearly clicwed'n linger off the other, who only tried to de- fend himself. Lct off on suspended sen- tence. Coming down to the last six months, we have a. young Inuit embezzling six or eight hundred dollars front a rich firm in Lindsay and then clearing out to 'the States, brought back, tried, cautioned in a fatherly way and let off on suspended sen- tence. A short time after this a miserable f-llow, [1 common (lay la 'ioi'l'r, receives a. lbw dollars’ Worth of stolen goods and gets six months in the Central Prison. hen un- othcr gets six months in the Central Prison for stealing a hunting shirt, after being followed all ihc way to Rochester. the Twin @- lmvo another case of a lad stealing a bag of out: and being sentenced to either six or twelve months.
