The HoRsE RACE AT NEw 0RLEAss
TRIuMPHAKT.-The race
was attended with immense excitement
The stake was $4,000. The entries
were "Arow," from Louisiana; LIE
compt," from Mississippi; .Hylander' !"
from Alabama, and Lexington" from
Kentucky. The track was heavy
Lexington. won in two straight heats,
distancine the Arrow the first heat, and
Hylander the second. Lexington made
the first heat in eight minutes and nine
seconds, and the last in eight minutes
and four seconds. Heavy bets were
lost on Hylander. So Kentucky is still
triumphant. As the antecedents of the
winning horse may be interesting to
some persons at this juncture, we give
the following, clipped from sporting
publication:
a5"His first race was in Lexington,
Kentucky, over heavy track, with the
rain pouring at the time. He ran away.
with three other horses, on false start,
and with the usual time between heats,
won the race in two straight heats, dis
tancing six, and beating four others Of
the ten horses started with him. In
four days after he met six other horses
in two mile heats, and beat them all
distancing four, thus within FIVE days
beating sixteen and distancing ten of the
best horses in Kentucky. There are
few living horses which can present
such brilliant testimonials as these
He is a Boston colt, out of Alice Car
neal, and has never been beaten.

DEATH OF THE PHYSICIAN OF NIcHo-
LAs.-In the midst of his troubles dur
ing the past few months, the Emperor
Nicholas has been called upon to mourn
the death of Sir James Wylie, who for a
long time has held the post of chief ply
sician at the Russian Court. Sir James
Wylie was Scotchman by birth, was
knighted by George ", in 1914, and
was subsequently created baronet, at
his departure from England, at the re-
quest of the Emperor Alexander. Pro-
baby, however, Nicholars regards the
loss of his physician as more than COM

has left, the whole of which was be-
queathed to the Emperor.

Mass, where the teacher was sued for
injuring a boy under her charge, by
correction, the great principle of law
was conceded by both parties that for
school purposes the teacher is possessed
of all the authority of parent, and is
not liable for any punishment of a pupil
unless it be such punishment as would
be unlawful if inflicted by the parent.
