II owes its existence to the medical ac-
sociation Of the city. and is managed by
a commission consisting Of three ply
sicians, one veterinary surgeon and
chemist. The leading features OF the es-
Establishment are that its animals are OF the
best breed; that proper dietary system
is pursued, and special attention gwen TO
their sanitary condition. Zach animal.

The st. Leger.

An American house has taken another
great prize dear to the British heart In
the opinion of all Englishmeu. the Don
caster st. Leger ranks second to the Derby
and only second by little. while the es-
TEEN in which they hold the Derby j.
shown by the holiday they make of the
day on which it was run. A race for
which Parliament adjourns must have n
high place indeed in public favor. Mr..
Lorillard's colt lroquois has now attained
the two choicest honors of the turf. and
he has made n laughing-stock of the hos
tile critics who thought nothing good in
the form OF a race-horse could come out
Of America. and attributed his Derby sue
cess TO the superiority of his Jockey. to
accidents of various kinds. and to every
cause bat the true one-thc genuine merit
OF the colt himself, The excellence of
the triumphant at poncaster yesterday is
magnitied by the well-known fact that
very rarely does the same horse succeed
over the EPSON course and upon the IA
nous town moor in York shire. Year at
ter year the winner oil the Derby has failed
TO add the laurel of the St Leger to the
blue ribbon OF EPSON. Only five times
within generation has the victor in the
Derby been able to get over the line first at
Doncastcr. and the name of Iroquois must
now be added to the list in which those OF
West Australia. Blair Athol. Gladiateur
Lord Lyon aud Silvio appear. Yesterday
indeed the double triumph was won for
the tenth time only in the hundred years
since the first Derby was run. America
sent great race-horse to England when
lroquois crossed the Atlantic.
MIR. Lorillard's experiment has been
crowned with success. To win both the
Derby and st. Leger in one season is an
achievement which Englishmen generally
would consider almost equal to winning
m important battle. Last wear. when the
Duke of Westminster colt Bend Or was
the first in the Derby. the citation of his
noble owner is described by those who saw
the race As having almost passed the
bounds of self-control. When he went on
the course after the race he was fairly
trembling with excitement and exultation
Mr.. Lorillard has been even more fortu-
nate than he. But he received the news
of the Derby placidly. and the Doncaster
triumph did not disturb his calmness. He
has earned his good fortune by his bold
ness. energy. and perseverance. He has
not been discouraged by failure nor
daunted by heavy expense. Whatever
may be his experience hereafter. he can
look back to 1881 rs year when his own
name aud that of his famous colt We're
spoken of with honor in every part of the
world where the thoroughbred rsce-horse

queen of the wash-tub, princess of the

a light pianissimo solo on the wash

crescendo, and occasionally bursting
out into staccato movement that rips
the buttons off the wristbands. Her
hands are parboiled, her elbows dimpled,
her face redolent with sudsy steam. Ii
she hastily wipes her hands on her
apron and scoots out of sight, bid her q
lasting good-by. But if she rests with
her hands on her hips and bids you
"good-morning in CHEEKY tone don't

Women on the Road.

N Y. Commercial Advertiser.
1t is the verdict of merchants that fe.
male clerks deal better than men with
female customers. They are more COM
prehcnsive and patient-more sympa-
thetic with the gush and true inwardness
lavished upon the iinery which fires the
enthusiasm of the softer. Consequently
there are numerous advertisements this
season for women to travel in the inter-
est of mercantile houses to secure fe-
male patronage. This opens new fold
Of industry we'll adapted to those women
who have experience with country Gus
toners in city stores. Lady clerks who
have grown popular with patrons out Of
town will find 1t both pleasant and
profitable to seek and take their orders
under "theirpwn vine and iig-tree."
