The Earnings and Losses Of Turf Men
this Season

But two horses have made any consider
able reputation this year on the turf
Grinstead and Rutherford. Grinstead is
the property of Puryear, a South Carolinian,
residing in New York. In the great race
with Rutherford, Wild Idle, Springbok
and Preakness, resulting in dead heat
between the las: two, Grinstead was but a
triie behind them. Ten thousand dollars
Rutherford is the brother of Fellowcraft,
the great four-mile racer of last year. AS
| frequently happens among gamblers and
| horses, Rutherford has been twice sold
during the Saratoga meeting, first for $7,-
500, and next for $4,000. He will go TO
ss'ssai sa..eies With springhnk to compete for
the $50. GOO purse. Springbok was sold by
old Mcdaniel for $4,000 to his partner
Barnard; this is price seldom received
| for horse. Belmont gave $4,000 for
Kentucky, and the great Lexington was
first purchased for $2,5e0, next one-half
was sold for $500, and the racer was
finally bought by Alexander for $4,000.
1t is believed that Springbok, when retired
from the tuif, will become the greatest
native sire of this racing period his size,
speed and pedigree are all first class. He
is an Australian colt out of a Lexington
dam, with Glencoe blood in him, and Henry
Clay was the owner of his parent some
generations back. The amount of money
made by horse-men this season has been
very unequal. Mcdaniel has had poor
luck; and his supporters, accustomed to
back his horses heavily, are much disheart-
ened. McGrath lost here much of his
winnings at jerome Park and Long Branch.
Sanford has had fair luck. He sold his
horse, Brigand, which had superb parts,
but no confidence in himself, and the next
buyer filled the horse with whisky, by
which he got drunk and run away from
the whole stable on two successive days,
winning five times his value. Meantime,
new Adventures On the turf, like Lorillald,
have won enormously, and Belmont won
three races in a single day. The camp
followers, whose name is legion, have lost
almost everything, while the book-makers
and booksellers have had immense profits.
About one hundred thousand dollars. are
laid out in French pool tickets alone on
each days races. You understand that
system of betting the horses are bought
uniformly at five dollars apiece, though
there are also twenty-five dollar tickets.
Holders of tickets on the winner divide
the gross sum, less five per cent, which
the gambling association takes this five |
per cent. makes five thousand dollars, and |
twelve days racing will net Morrissey,
Reed and Spencer sixty thousand dollars. |
Their percentage on the field pools, which |
are sold at auction, probably amount to as
much. Then Morrissey, as 'book- maker"
will probably clear fifty thousand dollars.

Night Ride in Fairyland.

Ali night the great elms shook for fear
An0 writhed as if in pain.
Between the pauses of my sleep

Quite sick of this world and unnamed,

Weary of pen and ink and book,

The Desert OF Sanara.

Among the stupendous projects to which
the attention of civil engineers is directed,
that of flooding the African Desert of Saba
IA is perhaps the greatest, if tested by
hoped-for results; and yet it may well be
doubted if the results contemplated and
sought for would equal in far-reaching i'm
portance other incidental results not con-
templated and not sought by the projectors.
The London Times publishes communica-
ton from g. Henry Kinahan, of the Royal
Geological Survey, as to thermal changes
which he supposes would occur in Europe
in consequence of inundating that vast des-
ert, if the project is feasible and should be
consummated. He suggests that the south
winds, to which Europe is largely indebted
for warmth, are generated and heated over
the hot sands of Sahara; and that if that
desert were inundated the temperature of
Europe would be reduced in consequence.
The result of careful observations is that
those warm south winds do not in fact ex-
ercise considerable influence upon the eli
mate of Europe; and that in those years in
which such winds continue longer than usu-
al the snow-line and the glacier-line is
pushed northward, and that those lines
again encroach southwark as the continue
ton of south winds is diminished. In fact,
so strikingly uniform are these phenomena
that an eminent geologist has suggested
that change which redeemed Europe from
the glacial period. during which even south
ern Europe was locked in the thralldom of
ice and snow, and the reindeer, cave bear,
and other animals now confined to high
ATTITUDES were its denizens. The pith and
marrow of Mr.. Kinahan's S article is mod
estly put suggestion that to restore Sahara
to Neptune would result in the gradual
restoration to Europe of it's thermal status
of the glacial period. He treats the subject
with cool earnestness. The subject itself
is rather cool one for August. 1t is re-
spectfully turned over to American saoants
in the hope that it may suggest an explain
alton of the unusual thermal phenomena of
the current year-the extreme cold of last
winter, recent frosts in the West, and inn
mense rainfalls, including tIifiing increase
of moisture in the region of Baltimore

The Steam Canal Boat.

The Baxter steam canal boat has proved
quite success on the Erie Canal In 1872
and 1873 it took the prize of 800, 900 for
the best method of propelling vessels by
steam on canals, offered by New York, and
they are now SO popular and necessary to
the wants of rapid transportation by thar
great East and West water way, that the

uncle to the bride. The hour for the mar
riage ceremony was fixed at eleven, but
finally altered to half past, during which
time large number of carriages drove into
the grounds and deposited the occupants,
who were elaborately dressed.
The hall, parlors and dining room were
beautifully decorated with flowers. The
officiating clergyman was Bishop Hen
dricken, in charge of the Roman Catholic
diocese of Rhode Island and portion of
Massachusetts,. There was but one brides
maid and groomsman, they being Miss
Nellie Whitney, of Boston, and Mr.. Samuel
Briefly, of New York. There were nearly
one hundred guests, but these did not fill
the spacious parlors.
THE BRIDES COSTUME.
The bride wore an overskirt of white
muslin, with white silk undergarments,
tulle veil, decorated with ivy and crosses.
The service was short but impressive,
the enunciation of all the parties interested
being clear and very distinct. The Bishop,
at the close of the ceremonies, gave in his
remarks some wholesome advice to the
newly married couple, congratulating them,
he said, that the tie which now bound them
was of very holy character. The world,
he said, was full of trials and tribulations,
and it behooved them as man and wife to
struggle with and for each other, bearing
and forbearing, showing a disposition to
help one another in the responsibilities
Of this life. He wished to impress upon
them the necessity of living, not only for
themselves, but for the Great Master, who
would help them if they helped themselves.
The presents were numerous andl expen-
siye, some of them coming from the bride
groom's brother, Colonel Jerome Bonaparte,
who is in Paris, and who, a few years ago,
was married in this city.
Among those present was Mrs. BonapaTte,
the bridegroom's mother, who, during all
of the services, was observed to be weeping.
After the honeymoon the couple will return
to Baltimore, where the royal gentleman
is practicing law with marked success.

POETRY
JUST FOR TONIGHT.

Let me dream my weet, sweet dream again,
Just for to-night-for only tonight.
Let my heart forget its loss and pain,
Entranced In vision pure and bright
Ere the morning light brings loss and pain,
Let me dream my sweet, sweet dream again.
Let me know the touch of vanished hand,
just for to-night-for only tonight.
Let 1t come to me from the unseen land.
Thrilling my soul with strange delight
o give me back from the unseen land,
Tonight one touch of vanished hand.
Let me hear again the old love-tone,
Just for to-night-for only tonight,
With whispered love, all, all my own,
Let its music float from the realms of light.
With whispered love, all, all nay own,
Let me hear again the old love-tone
Let me kiss my darlings lips again,
Just for to might for only tonight s

Eating Crow.

wish to 60 back half century and give
the origin of the story of eating crow. Dur
ing the war Of 1912 some American soldiers
were stationed in Canada. A soldier shot
tame crow belonging to a farmer in the
neighborhood. The farmer came up and
asked if he might look at his gun. The
soldier said yes, and handed him his gun.
The farmer then told him he had to eat
one-half of that crow. which he did. The
farmer gave back his gun, and the soldier
then told the farmer that he had to eat the
other half, which order he very reluctantly
complied with. They then parted. The
next day the farmer went into camp and
complained of the soldier. He was arrested
and brought before the officer, who, spoint.
ed to the farmer, inquired of the soldier
if he knew that man. He said he did.
g How, and under what circumstances did
you make his acquaintance ?' The soldier
said that he dined with him yesterday,

The Strait Of Gibraltar Widening ana
Deepening.

The straits OF Gibraltar, as well as the
British channel, are both, beyond doubt,
ocean conquests over the gradually sinking
land. The advancing progress of the ocean
Ii the former case is abundantly shown by
authentic history. We condense the fol
lowing from the Scientific american:
Avienus on the authority of Daemon of
Amphipolis, makes the width of the straits
of Gibraltar, at the narrowest point, only
three miles wide. Then he quotes sub
sequent measurement, by Eucetemon, of
Athens, who found it four miles. Next we
find that Scymmes of Chic measured it, in
the year 143, before our era, and found it
thirteen miles at the Atlantic outlet, which
now is twenty-six miles in width. Turan-
ius Gracilis, about fifty years before our
era, gives the width of the narrowest place,
from Mellaria in Spain to Cape Blanco in
Africa, as four and a half miles. Strabo
gives the greatest breadth as nearly seven
miles, while Pliny, who had visited the
strait, gives it at seven and a half miles
from the narrowest part, and about ten
miles from the widest part. Bishop Victor
measured the distance in the year of our
era 500, and found it twelve miles, while
the present Spanish measurement is four
teen miles.
Avienus also speaks of two wooded isles
in mid channel, on which were built tenn
pie and affairs in honor of Hercules. These
were the celebrated pillars of Hercules of
the ancient authors. The Carthagenians
"were obliged to build flat-bottomed ves-
sells, so as to be able to sail over the shallow
water Of the straits" according to Avienus,
who says that Hannibal had reported that
there was ga bottomless and boundless sea
farther to the west," which, as it cores
ponds to the Atlantic ocean, puts the To-
cality intended to be described beyond
doubt.
Pliny visited the straits, and speaks of a
low lying island, covered with wild olives,
and upon which were the remains of the
Temple of Hercules. Pomponius Mela, a
Spaniard, living several centuries later, and
to whom these regions were very familiar,
describes the straits as channel broken by
a number of small islands. At present
they have all disappeared, and the largest
ships sail freely over every portion of these
waters.
In 1928, there happened very low tide,
and on this occasion the remains Of the fa-
nous Temple OF Hercules were distinctly
seen in the oceanic part of the strait, and
some souvenirs were even obtained for
preservation.
The gradual sinking in this neighborhoed
is balanced by upheavels in other regions,
which are very marked, well established by
observation, and carefully measured. The
northern part of Sweden and Norway are
rising steadily. So are the Azores rising,
SO is the island OF Santorin, and the island
of Julia. The former sea port of Aigues
Mortes is now nine miles from the shore
while the celebrated Temple of Serapis, at
Puzzuoli, Tor many centuries engulfed, is
now uncovered, and is visited BY travellers
and tourists.

TRIAL OF THE RUSSIAN CIRCULAR IRON
CLAD.-It will be interesting to many of
our readers to learn that the first of the
Russian circular iron-clads, the Novgorod,
has recently made passages in the Black Sea,
which to say the least, fully justify the i'm
perial government in having adopted this
form of vessel as one well adapted for pro-
viding very powerful naval defenses for
certain purposes. She makes fair speed,
and answers helm perfectly. By her pecul-
lar build she draws less water than any
other ship which can be built of her size
thickness of ar1nor and armament. She is
100 feet in diameter, perfectly circular and
measures $500 tons. As an experiment
she is pronounced perfect success. 1t is
claimed that her manner of build is far more
perfect forfighting than the ordinary shaped
iron clads.
