The Antarctic expedition. which is reported
TO have been wrecked off Cape Horn, was pro-
iected by the Italian Geographical Societies,
and designed to fit in with the international
scheme of polar work. The command was
intrusted to Lieutenant Boye, who accompa-
med Nordenskiold in the voyage of the Vega,
and like all the other officers of that ad-
mirably conducted expedition, became an en-
thusiast on the subject of polar exploration.
The new expedition has had an untimely fate,
having been wrecked off Cape Horn. Happily
the officers and crew have been rescued by a
passng vessel.

The iudges at Monmouth Park yesterday as
tonishod the spectators again, and there was
much unpleasant feeling. 1t Is not 10 oe eX-
pected that all men should agree about close
finish when the difference between the heads
of the horses is only few inches, and those
heads are moving at the speed Of an express
train. Instantaneous photography would clear
up all doubts, but until that is made avail
able it is only the part of wisdom to have the
Judges stand on the same side of the track
with the spectators. Decisions which no one
but the judges think correct hurt the pOpu-
Iarity OF any race-cOurse, and certainly the
Judges cannot always be i'll the right and the
public always in the wrong.
