CHCOKED DRIVING ,
What John gplan Uaato Bay Upon
tho'Subject ' All Drivers
Incorruptible.
The wrll known driver , John Splan ,
who waa hlmaelf once ruled off the
track for crooked driving , said to a
reporter the other dny : "Yon , a per
son can alwaja hear all the talk they
want about crooked driving , and generally
orally the DO who charge It the most
are those who know the least about It.
In the first place , a greater part of the
talk cornea from parlies who have
backed their judgment on a race
and fonnd that they ware mis
taken In the abilities of their horse ,
and to make themselves feel no easy as
possible thry charge the race wto
crooked. Now , ia the first place ,
Under the present maucgomont of all
the national ateociatlon courtes , It Is a
hard matter for a driver to pall his
horen. fdr the judges are all mon of
xperlcuco , nnd are quick to toll
* / ] ( > her a horjo id b&tog driven for
rttitt ho In vcr h or not , and every
Unver kaono ibttt if hois detected in
crjukod work Uu will bo disgraced or
birrodfrom driving on any of the
tracks that hold a membership in the
association. If ho la once expelled ho
might as well go to shoveling coal or
sawing wood for a living , for ho can
never do do anythlug aa a driver.
It la a straight tip that I don't know
of any driver of the Icaat importance
in this boantry to-day who would
undertake to pull a horao fer a con
sideration , unless the owner would
command It , and there Is no man that
I know of , and I am pretty wol
pooled on all of thorn , who would not
rather drive his horacs on their merlta
than to Dchemo with them. Any man
who handles a horse will naturally
take prldo In him , arid would much
rather eco him win than lose , not
only bacanco It adds to the driver's
tcputatiob , but because ho forms
a certain rffuctlon for the borne. I
would to-day rather take a smaller
nalary from a man who wants his
horseH trotted on their merits than to
take a largo salary from a men who
would rather Irotcrookcd , and I don't
bullovo there are many drivers in the
country , and certainly nouo of any
prominence , who don't think the same
thing. Now. Cjmmodoro Ktttnon ,
the gentleman for whom I am train
ing , never thinks about other horses
In a race In which ho wishes to enter ,
bat If ho thinks onoef hla string Is
able to' win , hotBaya go in and trot
thorn on their merits , and If they boat
aa It la Decauso they have a batter
horto ,
If a man has a good horao and trots
him on his merits , there Is no matter
what the combination Is , if there la
euoh a thing , If ho is able to win ho
will do it , unless there is foul driving ,
and In that , ease , the judges can do-
o'.do It ; butall drivers know that they
are playing with the fire when they
tindortako to drlvo ontsldo the rules
of the association.
St. Jullcn and Clingstone wonld bo
the greatest team that ever was hooked
double , and they weald make any
other doable team sick. There Is no
tolling what It would bo possible for
them to do. I toll you , I think a great
deal of Clingstone. Ho ia a wonder
ful horao , and no mistake ; and
a match between him and St.
Julion weald bo n great event In
tnrf history. Ollnggtono has not
been worked ranch yet , and was not
in condition for a race , although his
physical health in better than could be
expected after the operation which
waa performed on him. After he
gats to work In earnest I don't think
there la any horao that haa llconao tc
boat him.

FOOD OF FOOD FISHilB.
What la Found In tbo Stomachs of
' , Cod , Shad and Mackeral.
I'hlUdolphU Record.
Professor Rice , of Brooklyn , slnco
February 24 has been making a study
of the food of the different varieties of
firh , In order bettor to determine the
proper tlmo for close seasons. The
work Is carried on under the auspices
ot the Smithsonian Institution and ii
a now and important inbjoct of Invcs
tlgatlon , Professor Rica said to a reporter
porter of The Now York Herald :
"I am not only examining the
stomachs of the tithes , " said Professor
Rico , "but also the ovaries and sperm
arles , in older to determine the geuor
atlvo rlponosa In both Boxes , so us to
got positive knowledge M to the
limits of the spawning season. In
making my rescaichoa I am cirefal to
note each specimen that I examine. I
dot down In the first place the char
aotor , sex , siza and woleht of the fish ,
where It U from , the date of capture
and the contents of Its stomach.
Should other fishes bo its food I also
examine the stomachs of those that
are not too mach decomposed. This
will detormlno the tlmo of year when
fish In certain localities are most voracious
cious and likely to bo caugh * . by baler
or their presence looked for on certain
feeding grounds. Observations concerning
corning the change of food according
to season will also bo naofal to thi
fiihormon , and whether the change o
the temperature of the water baa any
thing to do with It. Thia will also ac
quaint ua with the knowledge of wha
variety of food Improves the flavor of
the fiih , and will a'ao ' indicate whether
they feed or not.durlng the spawning
season Tills and a stoat deal more
will unquestionably be the result of
the present investigation. "
"It ia BBserted that nothing has
boon found in the stomachs of the sal
mon that are taken In the Canadian
rivers , whcro they go to deposit their
spawn , Is snob the case ! " waa aaked.
"It ia impossible to toll , " replied
the professor , "for I doubt if one fish
erman out of ton thousand ever ex-
amlnca the stomachs of the fishes he
takes. "
"But the hangers-on of old Sir
Iziak'a creed are certainly credited
with opening the stomaoha of the treat
they take and selecting their casts of
fllea according ! } ? "
"A few thoroagh and accomplished
anglcra may do this , but what they
learn tboy generally guard aa a close
secret. The world at large is not bone-
fitted by iheso spasmodic investiga
tions of a few mon. Nor do I believe
any record of their observations has
ever boon kept."J
"Wo are as yet In the dark and lit
tle la known about aomo of the varie
ties of fishes , " continued the professor.
"Ono Ia the striped base. There Is
only ouo Instance where ripe base of
both OCXCB were found. This was in
North Carolina In 1879 , the United
States fiih commission making tbo ob
servation. I have boon paying special
attention to the striped bite ; indeed ,
all those observations are dlrootod to
thoau fiahoa that are In season. Until
now It has always boon supposed that
male striped bass never grow to bo
over ten pounds in weight , and that
they wcre always small In elza. My
obaorvatlonn , however , contradict all
the storloa about the mail hies not
growing largo. The first baas I open

male bass waa taken In the Nortt

loSeveral large female bass have be <
A taken oft Governor's Island , In Nc
by York bay. One , a ilxty-threo poun
iat er , waa taken on April 28. It stomai
measured twelve inches In length and
the Intestine forty inches , In it was
found five backbones of larfto fishes , a
ono pound mackoral and the pen of a
tquld , The overacts were over green
ly In color and not very rlpo. On
May C another waa taken in n shad
nnt. It weighed forty-ilx pounds ,
The alomnch of this ouo WAS nearly
empty , only one-half of a otnall meek-
oral being found.
"After the ahipedbisB I Imio next
paid attention to the cod , As far M
ii known it 1 : omciveronr. I bollovo
that It will oat everything It comes
EcrotB. I have found in those cod I
havi/ examined rook crabs , hermit
crabs , BOA ancmonei , sea encumbers ,
fishes of all klnda , nhrlmpa and vari
ous opeclcs of crustaceans. In almost
every cod I opened I have discovered
a very largo tapoworoi. It Is generally
found In the pylorto portion of the in-
tentlnea , Onu of tnoto worms wau
over six foot In length In addition
to the tapowormn the presence of
round worms , about the length of a
Inclfer match , bat not quite as thick ,
is quite common in the Intestines of
the cod ,
' The work on the shad commenced
on April 20 , when out of a lot of
North River ahad food was only found
In the stomach of ono of them. It
contained a few email shrimp and a
fiih'i ecalo. On the 20th another
North River shad'a atomaoh waa found
to bo fall of small shrimp ,
"Tho common mackerel , or fresh
mackerel aa it Is called , la quite abund
ant this season. At first I famd In
every stomach of thceo fishes * flSi
reddish crustacean , but it was too
ranch decomposed to determine what
it really was. In color and consisten
cy it resembled anchovy paste and In
small potion lobstor. Slnco then I
have discovered small shrimp of vari
ous kinds , none of them being over
ono quarter of an Inch in length. "
Professor Rico then examined an
eel five and one-half pounds In weight ,
three and a-half feet long , that had
boon caught at Jack's Roof , Ssnccn
river , Onondaga cotmty. It was a fe
malo. Nothing was found In Us
atomaoh , nor has any food boon dis
covered as yet in the stomachs of thcso
eels that have been examined.
Twenty blnefiah that were taken off
Capo Hattorns , N. 0 , on May 10 ,
were received hero two days later.
The professor , in examining the
stomachs of those fish , found the re
presentatives of fourteen varieties of
fish. They were the buttotfish , spring
horrlnc ; , Lafayette , gurnard or rea
robin , stargazer or sou raven , small
bluefuh , klngColi , mosibunker , weakfish -
fish and craba , and the back
bones and decomposed fragments
of four other specks. The first
blnofhh In this vicinity were caught
cff Boruogat on the 15th , and weighed
about two pounds each. Durlug their
stay in our waters Professor Rico will
have an opportunity of Investigating
the epicurean tastea of the fish that is
credited with having a penchant for
euchre decks and tin tobacco boxes.
A male motabunkor , the first of the
season , who ao escorting a ochoal of
lady shad , was taken on May 4. His
stomach contained decayed material
supposed to be small fish. In three
porgioa a few fish scales were found
burled in a obylo-llko substance. A
male black bass contained the aamo
milky ( laid , and in two male aea bass
caught In Narraganaot Bay were found
the remains of small fishes. On the
10th instant both cad and shad wore
found to contain nothing in their
stomachs. Professor Rice has now
examined over 100 fish , and no donbt
will continue hla examination during
the season.

ANDEESON , O. H. , S. 0. , May 20,1883.
Captain Joseph Wileon Dear Sir : Your
letter of the 15th inst. is at hand , and In
tcply would first Bay that the information
1 giro is neither such as you expected or
hoped for ; nor is it such aa I desire to give ,
knowing as I do the grief it will cause
But facts are facts , nnd if it is possible for
the friends of Harry Wilson to gather any
comfort from wbnt little I can give con
cerning his fate , God grant that tnoy ma ;
do BO , for I have long hesitated in dnint ;
what I now do ; for I fear tbo elpht of thia
bloody memento can only make more sad
tbo sorrow and embitter the grief of
those who loved this "soldier boy. " I
wrote to you for Information respect
ing Mr , Harrison Wilson , hoping that by
eomo mistake be won only wounded , nnd
that the album waa not in his possession
when pierced , as you will find it Darin ;
the battle of the Wilderness , one of my
comrades ( wo both being members of
"Company 0 , Palmetto sharpshooters" ) ,
handed to mo the album , saying that he
had juat taken it from the pocket of a dead
Federal soldier. This album I have re
tained ever tince , and will now mail to
your address , hoping that it will be re
ceived in aa kindly a spirit aa it ia sent ,
Thia ia nil I know of the fate of Uarry
Wilson , which , coupled with what you
know , is concluaivo that he waa killed and
buried on the battlefio d of the Wilder-
neca. I will keep the picture of Harry , if
you have no ot jections ,
Iteanectfully , A. H. OsuoitN.
The album , to which allusion is
made In the preceding letter , con
