Goldsmith Maid. In the pools the
Maid sold at 500 to $40. First heat
after repeated scoring a fair send off
was had. Lulu and the Maid were
nearly even, Nettie and the Girl a
length behind. Before reaching the
quarter, American Girl had passed
Lula and was next to the Maid. At
the half pole the Girl was closing RAJ
pidly on the Maid. At the turn the
Girl led by two lengths, when Maid,
by burst, went to the front in the
home stretch, the driver of the Girl
using his whip, but to no purpose, the
Maid winning by two lengths; Lulu
third. Time 2:15A.
| In the ID heat, in the ninth score,
there was a fair send off, Maid and
Lulu even. The Maid soon went to
the front, but at the quarter made a
break, when Lulu closed ON her. At
the half the Maid led by two lengths.
| On the 3D. quarter, the Girl went to
the second place, but ON the home
stretch Lulu went to the front, win
ming the heat in 2.16l. Maid second.
In the third heat there was good
send off, with Lulu to the front, but
making a break, Maid passed her ut
the second quarter the Maid led by
two lengths. and at the half by four
lengths, Lulu I'd. AT the three quar-
tiers Lulu had gained and was only 2
lengths behind Maid. In the home
stretch Maid skipped, but almost in
stantly got down, but Lulu jumped
to the front, and amid the most in
tense excitement kept gaining on the
Maid, and won in 2:154; the Ameri-
can Girl just saving her distance.
Fourth heat Lulu was the favorite
at 500 to $50. Lulu led by two
lengths in the send off. At the
quarter she maintained the lead.
On the third quarter the Maid put
on squirt and closed the gap be-
tween her and Lulu to half a length.
On the home stretch Lulu made
break and the Maid passed to the
front.
Lulu again got down to work, and
was urged by Green for all she was
worth. She closed on the Maid and
they got down even. When near the
wire Green showed Lulu and she
came under half nose ahead, thus
winning the heat and the fastest
four-heat race ever trotted in the
world. Time, 2:l7.
There were fully $1,000 persons on

Entries lying in pool of blood.
The wound had been terribly eff

clown lying near his feet. The walls
and floor were spotted with clots OF
blood and brains, and the sight was
sickening.

Hint TO Rich Mems DaugIa.
tprS.
[From Harper's Basaar.l


There are very few, compare
lively, OF the "sweet girl grad
yates of this year of grace, who
ought not to be earning fixed in
come, as their brothers are doing.
There is not one of them to whom
it is not a plain duty to know now.
The daughters OF rich men GER
tainly have a right to all the ele-
gance aud leisure which they can
afford to pay for; but, in America
the tenure of wealth is so uncer-
tain that the heiress of to-day may
be the stipendiary of morrow.
If she cannot produce, but must
remain consumer only, then she
is guilty of breach Of that UNI
written compact with society un-
der whose conditions we all come
at birth, and whose violation Is
dishonorable. Besides, it Is the
daughters of rich men who must
encourage the belief that the ca
pacity TO earn is as natural and
dignified q function OF women as
of men. 1t was not until Camilla
of Fifth avenue, rich enough to
spoil velvet robe daily, lOoped
up her shining draperies above the
contamination of the pavements,
that Biddy of the BOwery, too
poor to spare the price Of a shilling
print a month, dared lift her drag
gled hems to an economical and
clearly height When the Camil-
las put on cashmere and serge cut
with severe simplicity, then the
daughters OF the bank teller, the
insurance agent, the struggling
lawyer, tho small shopkoeper, the
genteel, poverty -pinched widow,
cheerfully substituted that wise
fashion for the sleazy silks and
abundant cheap trimmings they
had cherished.
Thus rich girls must make work
fashionable If 1t is to be honored,
Were it understood that the
daughters of Dives had become ac-
complished milliners, or dress
makers, or telegraphers. or type
settlers, or teachers, or bookkeepers
or florists, and were proud of their
competency, the daughters Of Laz-
arus would have rushed to perfect
themselves in like attachments,
and would have exercised them to
their profit and pleasure. As IL is
it is not Incidence, it is not inca
pacity, 1t is not carelessness Of the
ceaseless toll of the overworked
father and mother which keeps
our girls of genteel families from
openly and gladly earning their
own bread It is the feeling that q
working-woman loses caste. Out
of this false estimates OF things
grows not only that life of shabby
gcntility which distorts the char
acter Of all who lead 1t, but that
habit Of mind which regards mar
riage as a prudential arrangement
a bargain which guarantees eoard
and clothes on the one side for an
indefinite-Quid pro quo on the
other.

Management Of Pot Plants.

Amateurs are apt, in reporting
plants, to make the soil too rich
under the impression that, because
the roots are confined within
small compass, necessarily the soil
must be very fat. Such is not the
fact. Flowering plants should not
have the soil over-rich. They do
better in pure soil, free from an ex-
cessive quantity Of manure. What
Is used should be the most thor
Oughly digested compost The sue
cessful florist understands that the
soil requires only to be in that nor
NAL state to insure perfect and con-
tinuous growth; and, therefore, in
stead of making the soil in the
pots over-r reach, depends upon
stimulating, by means OF liquid
manure.
A mistake generally made in
shifting from one pot to another,
is the use of too large pots as the
plants increase in size. In chang
ing, use pots only one size larger
than the plant was In before. 10
do this in the best manner put
some drainage in the bottom of the
pots, say half an inch Of broken
flower pots for four inch size, be-
ing careful to close the hole in the
bottom by laying a piece thereon;
on this place little rich compost
mixed with one half its bulk of
sharp sand. Then place Ia pot one
Size less than the one containing
the plant to be moved. Fill in
around this with the same mate
rial pretty finely packed. Lift out
the pot and fill with soil, just SO
that the ball of earth in which the
plant is contained will reachwithin
half an inch of the rim Of the new
pot. Now set the plant in a cave,
pull the earth about 1t from the
sides, and fill up level with more
soil. : Western Rural.

physicians of Saratoga and vicinity were con-
suited and subsequently DR.. Mclean. OF

to remove the obstruction by way OF the
mouth were abortive. Meanwhile MIR Pal
