The Epsnm spring meeting comes on this week,
and, usual, win DO a notable one In the English
racing year. Since Iroquois was struck out OF the
City and Suburban handicap, American Interest In
the events OF the week has decreased; but they

horses or the year. The first race OF importance
w Il be the Metropolitan handicap, run to-day.
The distance Is two and a quarter miles. and over
thirty horses have accepted: Petronel has the top
weight, 133 pounds, with Chippendale at i26 and
50 down the list Reveller has but 40 pounds. or
IS than in last years Cesarew.tch. But the

WHAT THE NEW YORK SUNS STOCK CRITIC THINKS
OF LAST WEEKS WALL STREET.
There was practically no market for stocks last
week, and there will probably be none for another
two months till the prospects OF the crops both at
home and abroad are fully established. Habitual
stock gamblers have been beaten both ways. They
lost money when they went long; they lost money
when they went short. The attempt to entice the
outside public into the market by official state
mentS of Gould, Vanderbilt, Sage and Field was
signal failure. The great gamblers showed no
staying power. They caShed their chips too soon,
and the small fry ran as soon as they discovered
that they were left to play against their own
stakes only. Three weeks ago there was not

Measurements Of Men.

Francis Gallon. in Popular Science Monthly for May
What / propose to speak of i'm the present
memoir are those measurements of the bodily
form and faculties that can or apparently could,
be made with some precision. but the personal
data in respect to intellectual and emotional
capacities, and to special aptitudes and tastes.
require separate statement. The progress of
the art of measurement of the more purely
bodily faculties has been by no means uniform.
IL has never been specially directed toward
furthering the knowledge of the life-history OF
individuals. but for the most part toward other
theoretical Investigations. In some cases elab-
crate instruments and methods of observation
have been devised by which certain faculties
have been tested with extreme minuteness; I'm
other cases no well-contrived and approved sys-
tenn of examination exists. IL. everything
should be stated 10y which anthropometry might
profit. the effect would be not unlike the man
of some partially-settled country, drawn on .
scale SO large as to show the cadastral survey
of its principal townlands. fraction OF the
whole would thus be minutely engraved the
wide ad jacent regions would be represented by
a few line Of route, and the remainder would
consist of blanks In order to convey In the
best way an idea OF what is known about such
country as this. the general map of IL should
be on small scale. and then uniformity OF
treatment becomes possible Acting on this
principle. shall avoid entering into details on
those subjects where there exists very much TO
speak OF, and shall nowhere go further than 10
sufficient to express the simpler requirements Of
anthrOp0metry.
Let us then consider how we should set TO
work to define and describe the various bodily
faculties Of person whom We had ample means
of observing, say one Of our own children Some
of the observations could hardly be made EXCEPT
at properly equipped anthropometric labora-
tory; others, as 1t will be SEEN could at present
be carried on best In the playground. I shall
not care to distinguish these in the description;
they will be obvious enough when they occur.
