Interesting to Sportsmen.
The prize of ,+.">00 offered by the managers
of the interstate drill for the shooting tour-
nament, to take place here during the in-
terstate drill, is attracting much attention
tmong the local sportsmen, who say that
the coming event will be one of the most
interesting tournaments yet held by the
Htate Sportsmen's association. The three
Galveston gun clubs are practicing daily
ttt trap shooting, looking forward
to the event, and Sheriff Fant, of
Houston, who was in the city
yesterday, and who is one of the crack
shots of the Houston Gun club, says that
the Houston sportsmen are already taking
interest in the matter and that a large dele-
gation of the best shots of Houston may be
expected to compete for the very liberal
purse.

THE IKTEBBTATE DHILL.
Outside Companies Already Manifesting Inter-
est in the Event.
Since the interstate drill has become an
assured fact the interest in the enterprise
increases daily, and though the board of
managers have not yet had time to solicit
the attendance of companies, several com-
panies from outside the State have already
written, making inquiries about the
drill, with the view of enter-
ing. Among these are company P,
of the Louisville Legion, of Louisville, Ky.;
the Washington Artillery, of New Orleans,
which command won the first prize at the
Dubogae ami Mobile drills, and the Cres-
cent City Light Guards, of New Orleans.
The last named company telegraphed yes-
terday to ascertain if a prize would be
offered for a maiden drill of companies
that have not before won a prize at an in-
terstate drill. As the same inquiry may
suggest itself to other companies anu
may not appear sufficiently explicit
iu the prize list as published, it may here
be stated that what is generally termed the
maiden drill, open only to such companies
as have not before taken a prize in an inter-
state drill, will, in the Galveston drill, be
restricted to state companies, for which the
largest list of prizes are offered that have
ever yet been offered for a maiden drill.
The interstate infantry prizes, three in all,
$4600 $1600 and itfStHi, are open to all compa-
nies in and out of the State, irrespective of
previous victories or defeats.
The Sealy Rifles, of this city, have been
the first to enter, and yesterday tiled with
the board of managers their official entry.
The place for holding the drill and en-
campment has not yet been decided upon.
Messrs. Willis, Fordtran, Shannon and
Wallis have been appointed a committee
to investigate available localities,
and are expected to make their
report Saturday evening. A location near
the gulf, on Thirty-fifth street, has been
suggested as a probable compromise be-
tween the Fair grounds and the Beach park.
The board met again last night, but did
nothing further than to discuss details.
The board will continue to meet daily until
iill arrangements ai'e perfected.
SOMETHING OF CIGAR SMUGGLING.
Kcw the Savory Weed Was Formerly Smuggled
Through Duty Free.
A News reporter casually dropped in at
the police station last night and found two
of the night cadets enjoying the breeze ou
the south gallery. One had his feet elevated
on the railing, smoking a cigar for all it
was worth. The other was silently regard-
ing the starry vault.
'• By the way " said the reporter as an
opening shot, " I have some cigars here
which 1 just paid a quarter for three, (there
was a violent commotion visible on their
faces nt this announcement) and they are
the worst I ever smoked. Try one and judge
for yourself," and a cigar was handed to
the star.gazer.
" Oh, you want me to die along with you,
do you?" said this individual.
" Not as bad as that, I hope," replied the
reporter, ''but as you're a good judge, I want
j ou to see liow some dealers impose upon
cvistome.'s."
This lind the desired effect, and soon
there was sufficient smoke to obscure the
sky from view. " There's no use talking,
you can't get around it one way or 'tother,"
said the smoker, letting one leg down, and
shaking his head sadly; "the time's past
when you could get "good cigars. I re-
member one time, shortly after the war.
that there was an old place on Mechanic
pud Center, kept by a superannuated
Teuton, who had the best cigars in the
whole city. Tiie place was one of the shab-
biest, and most forlorn outwardly that I
ever saw, and inside resembled some kind
of an old curiosity shop. He had overything
from a pin to an anchor, and it was only by
the merest accident that I discovered h'e
kept cigars. I went in there one day to buy
some trifle and asked him why ho didn't
keep cigars. At this he grew rather red in
the face, and lifting one arm, pointed to a
half-hidden shelf,stored with musty looking
boxes. He remained in this position for
about thirty seconds with a look of mingled
immigration and triumph on his little rouud
face. " Well," says I, " what is it, Peter'/"
" Cigars," says he, with his breath almost
gone by the effort: " you no believe I keep
'em, eh '( I got two 'tousand Havanas on
cmt shelf :"and he waddled oyertothe place
and hauled a box down. I asked how
much ? Six for a quarter, he told me. It
was my time to look surprised. Havanas,
and six for a quarter, thought I; that's
pretty good. Anyway, I bought a half
dozen, '• and, gentlemen," the speaker said,
bringing his chair down with a bang to give
the words emphasis, " these cigars were the
best I ever smoked, and couldn't be bought
for a quarter apiece anywhere else in town.
That's the living truth. That little Teuton
from that day was besieged from
morning until night with customers,
and his fame spread far and wide for his
splendid cigars. There was one thing in
connection with the cigars, and, in tact,
anything that was purchased, that struck
me as a little singular, however. Every-
body. myself included, always received
back in change a sparkling and brand new
piece of money, whether silver or currency.
No one caught on to the secret for a long
time; but one day I was considerably sur-
pi ised to learn that, besides being a smug-
gler, my little friend was a boss counter-
feiter, and had been carrying on the trade
with perfect impunity. That was the secret
of his selling the cigars so cheaply."
"There was a fellow," resumed the
speaker, after a pause, " who used to come
up here in the station-house and say:
' Well, it's about time to go down and have
some crackers; what do you say?' I was
always ready, you bet, and we'd go down to
his grocery shop and open a box of crack-
ers, and pick out the smuggled cigars be-
tween the layers, and have a jolly old time
smoking them, for they were generally very
superior in quality."
'• Do you ever come across any smuggled
c:gars now?"
" Sometimes," was the reply," but they're
nil frauds. You meet one of these peddlers
and he'll tell you not to give it away, but
that he's got some rare Havanas which
he'll sell cheap, because, he says, he smug-
gled 'em. All this time lie speaks in a whis-
per, and looks up and down, as though fear-
ing detection, when, in fact he is telling a
bare-faced lie in order to secure a rapid
sale for cheap domestic goods."
" One time," continued the officer, " I
was invited down with others to a friend's
house to participate in some kind of blow-
out. The host had just returned from a
trip to Mexico and brought back about 10IW
Mexican cheroots with him. It is
quite needless to say that we were
instrumental in decreasing the number
of those cheroots in donbl-quick time, aud
we considered it a crime if we didn't appro-
priate tweuty or thirty of them to give to
the boys when we got back. The old man
saw they were disappearing rather sudden-
ly, but thought it was all right, aud never
said anything."
" Yes, sir," concluded the speaker, as he
knocked the ashes off the weed given lilin,
" if you want a good cigar you've got to
pay for it, and even then you get left some-
times."

Iiehi3ed to Pay the Draft.
A suit for damages was filed yesterday in
the District Court, by Julius Sonnenthiel,
ie iding in Kaiserslautern, Germany,
against Thomas M. Skinner, Gus. Schultz
and the city of Galveston. Petitioner al-
leges that he holds a draft for the sum of
$1500, which was drawn by said Skinner
up in tl is city, and indorsed by him to Gus.
Snultz, being drawn by the said Skinner
for a payment upon a contract made for
furnishing aud operating the Gamewell
lire alarm system. Petitioner further al-
leges that the draft was presented to him
by Schultz, which petitioner paid. At ma-
turity of said draft petitioner presented the
same to the city for payment, which was
refused. Petitioner then caused the draft
to be protested, and claims that, although
often requested, the city has refused to pay
the same. Petitioner shows that the draft
was drawn on May 3, 1886, and prays that
he may have judgment against the defend-
ant for the amount sued for, claiming a
total sum of $3000, as actual and exemplary
damages.

An Appeal for Fall Races.
To The News.
Galveston, June 6,1886.—Sometime since
two gentlemen, citizens of our sister city
Waco, representing a syndicate of horse-
men, upon a Teuas circuit, visited our city.
These gentlemen proposed to come here
and give four days' raciug, running and
trotting, and make an aggregate of sixteen
races, four each day. They asked for no
purses from our people, but proposed to
hang up purses sufficient to bring the flyers
on their own hook. They did not even ask
the people to give them the race course free,
but proposed to pay for it at the rate of $100
per diem. They met with no encourage-
ment and did not come. Whose was the
fault is not known. Mr. Rosenberg, one of
the owners, does not know anything of the
offer, but the offer was made through the
writer at the time to the lessee of the Fair
grounds. The thought occurring to me at
the time was, does a thing of the kind pay
the Jockey club, or the stockholders at
the various places where they hold
and have been holding for years, spring
nnd fall meetings of the kind, and was this
kind of an entertainment against the law,
human or divine, and I at once begau a
correspondence with the various clubs
throughout the United States aud found
that the actual money invested paid an an-
nual dividend of from 3>.' per cent, up to as
much as 18 per cent., and that the industry
of raising fine blooded horses was given an
impetus that paid at large an additional
per cent. I found at Nashville, Lexington,
Louisville, Saratoga, Long Island and at
nearly all the racing courses, the patronage
comes from the very best people in the
country, and that the vice ana immorality
were lest than that inculcated in the theater,
skating rinks and such places of amuse-
ment. They are all, however, being con-
ducted and are in the hands or gentlemen
ot probity, and are in every sense of the
word creditable and beneficial.
Why not have a driving park iu Galves-
ton? 1 notice in the papers devoted to the
horse, such as Wilke's Spirit of the Times,
The Horseman, and others, reports from
correspondents and letters from owners of
horses who have tested the Fair grounds or
Oleander course. They say that it is nearly
as speedy ns the track at Chicago, equal t j
Cleveland and better than many of the
courses in America. They all agree that it
is the best track to handle a youngster
upon that there is in America, and that
more hard work can be given, with less in-
juiy, than on any course in the country.
They also say to a man that there is no place
on the continent equal to this island for win-
tering their stock, and that if the facilities
and tail- treatment could be had, there is no
reason why every horse making the Texas,
Arkansas, Missouri and Louisiana circuit
should not winter on the island, that the cir-
cuit could begin and end on this course.
Is not some recreation from the great
business of the city necessary? It is cotton
seven months in the year, then comes for
diversion the bucket-shop. If we must gam-
ble. let us do it on a horse race, when at
least the per cent, in the pool-tax is all
there is against us. But there are many of
us who do not wish to do any gambling at
all, yet would walk a mile and back to see
a contest between thorougbred horses, run
under the rules, and applied by gentlemen.
Is it necessary to hang up big purses? I
think not. In reading of and attending
these races in other States, 1 find $200 for
first and $50 lor second, i also see hotel
purses, cotton exchange purses, merchants
exchange purses, board of trade purses,
ai d cups from individuals.
In well-regulated clubs they manage the
pools and receive the gate fees, and if a
dividend is declared they put up a consola-
tion purse for the beaten horses on a
last day's meeting. April is the beginning
and October is the ending of the circuit.
Countrv merchants visit our city to pur-
chase tneir goods in April. Iu October they
need refilling, and will coiue to the races as
well. It fills up our city twice a year and
aM ai e benefited. The idea that no one at-
tends them but parties who desire to win is
long since exploded. Men are naturally
fond of live stock, and so also are the la-
dies. A man who does not like to see a
square horse race is fit only for strategem
ai. d the spoils gained by iniqu ity. I have seen
men of alarge lot of piety to spa.'e peeping
through the auger-hole in a grand stand
and pat their feet to the music of the flyer's
hoofs. This city has a population of 6000
adult men. At$l 50 each $0006 can be had
that will fix the grand stand, build
up a new fence and hang up $7000 in
purses. If all will join and elect
a board of thrc-e directors and a good secre-
tary aud an efficient manager, we can close
the circuit in Ttxas in October, 1836, with
six days hansome sport, make monev out
ot the investment aud have a hundred fly9rs
and their handlers to winter, and change
the aspect of the now deserted and lonely
bat and owl riden Fair ground into a thing
of pleasure and beauty.

To The News.
Galveston, June 0, 1886.—A due regard
to my own character and the interest of
my clients demand that I should notice at
once the paragraph which appeared in your
issue of yesterday iu reference to my arrest
under an " affidavit" from Williamson
county. The circumstances apparently giv-
ing rise to this proceeding are as follows:
1 am an attorney representing a claim for
about 48,000 acres (the Rafael de Aguerre
eleven-league grant) of the most valuable
land in the state of Texas. There were some
ninety odd separate suits instituted against
settlers to whom my clients were adverse;
with ninety settlers and their families and
employes and surroundings opposed to us, I
felt it my duty to have the cases removed
from Williamson county under the "local
prejudice act," and aided to obtain the affi-
davits necessary under the law therefor.
The cases were so removed to Travis coun-
ty, where they are now pending. This re-
moval unquestionably engendered the ill-
feeling which !his proceeding evidences.
The property thus in litigation is esti-
mated in value at upwards of $1,000,000, aud
there aie something like 500 or 600 persons,
residents of Williamson county, who op-
posed us there. I have made no" certificate
or affirmation in this connection. I have
not seen the indictment, but expect to have
a copy of it in due course of mail, when I
may have more to say on the subject.

Wilson meant it is a mistake, as I have

Placed upon the pit of the stomach, they
warm and tone the digestive organs. Oil
the small of the bnck, they give vigor to the
nervous system, and act" as a wonderful
diuretic. I think in all cases of dyspepsia
they should be worn both on the back and
on the pit of the stomach. In this way they
act as a stimulus to the whole system."

Are any members of your family thus afflict-
