Very Uncertain.
It appears that the Handicap is not al-
ways to the swift, though swiftness is a
great aid in a horse race. Itis likewise
painfully apparent that the favorite does
not always win, but occasionally is left
at the post. Once in a while the favor-
ite and sure-winner varies the perform—
unce by dropping dead or falling in a
lit and a hundred-to-one shot thrusts
his muzzle first under the wire. It was
not expected Tuesday that Dr. Rice
would win the Brooklyn Handicap, but
he did, and his owner is $18,000 richer
because of it. The lesson is that horse
racing is just as uncertain as it ever was.

An Invasion of England.
The Messrs. Cramp, the famous Phil-
adelphia shipbuilders, have fairly taken
John Bull by'the horns in applying to
the British admiralty for permission to
bid for the construction of high class
mon-cf—war for the English navy. The
country will admire their pluck, their
enterprise and their confidence, and
will think better of them, whether they
gain or lose the point.
The chances are, however, that the
matter will stop with this manifestation
of Yankee nerve. No matter how anx-
ious the British government may be to
strengthen England’s armament by the
acmiisition of such ships as the New
York and the Columbia, it is not at all
likely that they will consent to award
to the United States the large and vel-
uablc contracts which their own ship-
builders need so sorely. Political con-
.xiderations will come first, we fancy,
and the admiralty content itself with a
somewhat inferior article, rather than
face the disappointment and indignation
of home folks clamoring for work.
Nevertheless, the Messrs. Cramp have
shown that they are anxious to compete
with the best talent and the most im-
proved appliances at the command of
Great Britain, and in doing so they
furnish us with fresh assurance that
our modern navy is easily in the front
rank of military architecture and elli-
cicncy.

Several Live Here.
It has often been said by those who
have studied the prison system of the
Unit-ed States that unhealthy senti-
ment has so wrought things as to make
imprisonment a limited variety of
pleasure, and this accusation is un-
doubtedly well-founded in many in-
stances. Of course, most men prefer
personal liberty, and will risk a great
deal to secure that boon when the right
to it has been forfeited, but they are
only rarely impelled to escape by dis-
comforts other than those which have
their origin in mere incarceration. An
example which shows conclusively the
desirability of an American prison as a
r-lacc of residence comes to the surface
in the case of Narcisse Nero, an Ital—
ian, who for the past eleven months
has been a legitimate inmate of the
Idaho penitentiary. Narcissc was a
burglar who had been sentenced for a
Y.cal‘ Good behavior shortened his
tcl‘lll one month, but when the warden
notified him to that effect and request-
ed him to depart the gentleman from
Italy declined to do any such thing,
declared himself to be thoroughly sat-
isfied with his home, and assured the
officials thit it was much more com-
l’ortablc than any place he had ever
struck out-side. When the warden in-
sisted that Mr. Nero should go, wheth-
cr he wanted to or not, the Italian said
he was not compelled to accept the
month’s rebate on his sentence. Gov-
cruor McConnell, coincided with the
prisoner, and the chances are that Mr.
Nero will remain in the abode of his
choice until his full term has expired,
after which he will probably commit
another crime, so as to return to his
pleasant quarters. It is undoubtedly
true that there are many such as this
man in other portions of-the country
than Idaho; some such are in Nor-
walk. They would just as soon be in
prison as be at liberty, in fact, many of
them exhibit a decided preference for
prison. This would not be so if prisons
were rcally what they are supposed to
be ——places of punishment.

——Nervo Rewarded.
One of the most extraordinary ex-
amples of rewarded business nerve has
attended the great sale of carpet and
draperies of the Copeland Bros, stock
of Bridgeport, which W. B. Hall A:
Go. bought out. At the time of pur-
chase W. B. Hall & Co. were satisfied
that they would have to abandon the
premises they had been occupymg for
15 years. This meant consolidating two
big stocks into one store, which was
out of the question. They hired a sec—
ond store for the carpet stock a few
doors above their own and from the
day they first opened it, the store has
been crowded with customers anxious
to secure a share of the bargains. Only
a short time more before the whole
stock will be closed out.

The Price Too High.
Every man who patronizes a barber-
shop knows that the regular charges
are 10 cents for a shave and 2-5 cents for
a haircut. There are some people who
regard these prices as exorbitant. A
casein point happened in Harry Leo-
bold’s barber-shop Tuesday afternoon.
A man with the top of his head. entire-
ly bald, but with a fringe of long hair
beginning at a point where the hat
rests upon the head, ‘jumped in a chair
and wanted a. haircut. The obliging
Harry faithfully did this, carefully
trimming 011' the long locks on the
side, and nicely brushing them down
when completed, in lieu of enough on
top to make a part. Sliding out of the
chair, the customer asked the charge,
and was informed that a quarter of a
dollar would pay for fixing him up.
“Isn’t that a rather high price for a
man to pay with as few hairs as i nave?”
inquired the customer expostulatingly.
“No, sir,” quickly, replied Harry,
“it’s worth double the price for the
time in hunting for the stray hairs.”
The man paid the price and left the
shop without saying a word, while
Harry wentinto Mescberg’s and bought
a sandwich. - .

John Takes a Constitutional.
Pugiiist John L. Sullivan was out at
5 o’clock this morning, taking a “con-
stitutional” in a canopy top drawn by a
white horse. While on Main street he
met a hand-organ grinder and hired
him to furnish music. Proceeding to
the hotel where the “Man from Bos-
ton” company Were stopping, he gave
the organ grinder instructions to play
that beautiful ballad, “Two Little Girls
in Blue” until he told him to stop.
After playing for perhaps half an hour
or more the man’s arm dropped help-
less to his side and the music ceased.
John L. then ordered the driver to go
on, and at the Methodist church the
organist again started up the music
machine and did not step grinding un~
til the party reached South Norwalk.
John was very liberal to the boys with
his small silver.

The Man From Boston.
John L. Sullivan presented his new
play, “The Man from Boston” to a fair
audience at the Opera House, Tuesday
evening. He was warmly received.
In the entire four acts there was not
a shot fired, andalthough the villain
was there as he generally is in real life,
the situations were brought about in
an entirely natural manner. In the
part of Capt. Harcourt, the friend of
honest effort and the foe and exposure
of dishonest trickery,Mr. Sullivan did
some very good acting for a prize-
fighter. The specialty artists, Bobby
Mack, Miss Belle Muni, Miss Nellie
Lawrence and Charles Nixon came in
for a liberal share of applause. Paul-
ine Markham, well known to theatre-
goers, was in the cast. The foot-ball
game was very exciting. In the last
act there was a glove contest between
Sullivan and Dan Dwyer, in which
some very scientific boxing was done.
All in all the entertainment was better
than the average of traveling shows.
The only set-back to the evening’s
pleasure was the fog-horn voice of the
"villain” who sold song-books and
photographs between the acts.
