NAMING RACE HORSES.
Many Turf Called After
People In Every Walk of Life.
From statistics compiled here is
gleaned the interesting fact that
many great turf performers have
been oddly named for people in
walk of life. The best horse ever
named for a policeman was Inspect-
or It., a very brilliant race horse and
famed in the stallion rank.- as the
sin of Endurance by Right. He
was named as a compliment to
Thomas then in-
of police in Ken
horse ever named for a govern-
or was Luke Blackburn, and Senator
Wand as the horse ever named
for a United States senator. Hugh
Penny won more races than any
named for a jockey. The
mighty Domino, the largest winning
horse in American history, re-
his name from his color, be-
a black horse, as a eon-
sequence, was so called for the
masquerade costume Instead of the
popular game, as many supposed.
Daily American and Enquirer were
the horses ever mimed for news-
papers, and David Garrick was the
most brilliant race horse ever
bore the name of an actor. Butter-
flies, the Futurity winner of 1894,
was the best performer ever named
for a piny in this country, and
Drake Carter was the most
horse ever named for a doc-
tor. Iroquois, the only American
bred winner of the English Derby
and St. Leger, stands as the
performer ever named for an Indian
chief, and Boston Mas by long old-
the best horse ever mimed for a game
of cards.
Lexington was the greatest horse
ever named for a city or town and
Kentucky the best horse named for
n state. George Kinney and
Cotton were the two best horses ever
named for men In the
and the noted was the best
mare ever given a name in honor
a nun. Senator J. C. S. Blackburn
had two bores named for him. One,
a very high priced yearling, the
a maiden, while Blackburn,
Si. Marlin. was a fairly good

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Our
C, Mar. 31.1906.
Washington fog and dust still
involve the rate bill. The meas-
has reached the point where
the whole question is involved in
th right of judicial review and
in this provision if any where will
be concealed joker that is to
make the measure acceptable to
the railroads. For the benefit
of the uninitiated, it may lie said
the now is for an
agreement to an amended bill
that will provide for a more or
loss broad court review. The
object of the friends of the
measure will be to frame this
review provision s- that i will
not interfere with the obvious
lent of the law and make the
delays, possible under the bill
more than offset any benefits
that the measure might confer.
Naval officers as a whole are
pleased over the sanction of the
Naval appropriation bill by the
committee, not only because it
gives a little short, of
for the execution of the
plans that the department
has on hand but because it also
provides for at least one battle-
ship that will rival the English
in size and effect-
There is a provision in
the bill for one battleship of not
over that will be all
that the Navy department
could desire.
While the work of defensive
naval construction is going on,
there is appropriation made also
for a new dry dock that will
equal the Dewey in size and will
be retained in American waters.
The prop headquarters of
this dock will be Solomon's Is-
land in the Chesapeake, but
though-this spot affords unusual
facilities in the way of deep water
and a good channel, the dock,
once it is be avail-
able for use anywhere on the At-
coast where there is water
deed enough to submerge it and
whore the exigencies of the
call for its presence.
It is estimated that an agree-
on the statehood bill is in
sight. This is more or less
cheering news, not that it makes
any vital difference whether or
not the territories that have been
waiting years fur admittance to
the Union are admitted just at
this time or not, that agree-
foreshadowed has the show
of reason and decency about it
and consequently reflects the
same qualities on the Conferees
The President has
to Congress the enact-
of the laws recommended
by the Waterways Commission
with a view of saving Niagara
Palls. He says in effect that the
appropriation of the falls for
water power gone so far that
there is serious danger of the
great, scenic wonder being spoil-
ed for spectacular purposes alto
Mr. C. C I; i. of
most successful farmers of Onslow
was in the city Tuesday to
dispose of some meat raised.
Mr. success as a farmer
can be estimated from what he did
on a two horse farm last year. He
cleared on an average two
horse farm and raised pounds
