New York Tribune A lady just re- turned from Europe was telling day or two since of what she termed 'the Ameri- can craze" in England. ''1t is more pro- nounced," she said, ethan the English craze iu America. We are not more nc- ticeable in initiating the English than they are in their sudden admiration of Ameri- cans. They evince it in almost every way. An American lady is the acknowledged and worshiped professional beauty, and an American actre ss is the rage of the fre- quenters of the theaters." ''You mean Miss Anderson, of course" "Her suc- cess is a double one. Her beauty is no less talked about than her acting, which you have naturally heard most of her. !" "How about those other American actress es, Minnie Palmer and Lillian Russell ?'' "Oh! they were handicapped Miss Palmer was unfortunate in her manager and Miss Russell in her associations Miss Anderson has been most sensible in her course and has not offended English ideas of propriety in her personal conduct. The Cleveland beauty is as quiet and reserved and modest as at home, and the hoydenish character in which she has been painted by some writers for American papers is an injustice to her. The rage for travel in America is not yet at its height. I antici- pate that next spring it will be as much the English fashion to go to America as to Switzerland. The reports of the English tourists here will increase the wish to sec l America.
 Turfmen observe some traits in the fa- vorites of the race-course. Smuggler is said to have always made his best time on the Cleveland track, as did the pacing mare Lucy, while Little Fred could trot on the Buffalo track two seconds faster than on any other. At Utica the other day, Duquesne, in his race with Director, did very poorly, owing to his dislike of the track. Almost every horse has his likes and dislikes for particular courses, the most notable exception being Driver, to whom all tracks were alike. l

 You don't phase us /! The other day we happened in at swell furnishing goods store, and seeing in the showcase some un. derwear that looked pretty good, we asked the price of 1t. The clerk, with an air that said "I'n make you gasp" replied ''Thats silk, sir; it costs $75 set!' w. simply said :: ''Let us see it." He toe J it out and we examined it, tossed it baa,l contemptuously, asked: Haven't yo, something better?" The clerk was thu one to look aghast. He said he didn' think any better was made. "Wen,' W, growled, ''we don't like that '" And W, sailed out, leaving that clerk almost 8 wor shiper of ours /; and 1t didn't cost us cent
