The Derby Course.

| 4 young American who has travelled
says III correspondence about the Derby
track at EPSON, that the course is en-
tirely different from anything We have
in America. There are not fifty yard:
of level ground anywhere. L should
! say that run of the whole circuit mus
be about two miles long. On this side
the ground slopes rapidly down into 4
deep valley, so that the horses run OF
ground that slants up toward the out
side rail. From the bottom of the
valley the way up on the other side Is
very steep, where the track runs along
the crest of ridge beyond, it must be
four or five hundred feet higher than
where we sit. Up towards the be-
ginning of the home stretch is the place
which they call Tottenham corner, and
all England tells you what terrible place
1t Is for horse to come around. But
that is taffy. There are worse turns al
Jerome Park and Sheepshead Bay.
The only difficulty about thu; one is
that ii occurs where the horses are
coming down slight slope. The
Derby races begin part way aound the
course, as the distance they run is
abont mile and quarter, L believe.
They start IN an upward slope to the
crest of the distant ridge, come down
around Tottenham corner, into the
straight stretch home, and end on a
down hill part of the track. The
course is turfed, not turned up like
those in America. Much of the space
down in tine valley, inside the track
and up on the hill beyond, is taken up
with refreshment tents. Punch and
Judy shows, those machines which
send wooden horses around III a circle,
parties of men with blackened faces,
singing and dancing without time or
tune, iugglers, acrobats and a surging
mass of people. From the grand stand
for half mile In each direction, out
side the track, there is the same sort of
thing, added to tremendous crash of
carriages, from which the horses have
been taken and housed for the day. A
third of the people present want to sci!
you something that is of no earthly
use, and that you wouldn't be found
dead with. and the other two-thirds
want to steal whatever you may have
around in your clothes. They are the
most accomplished thieves 1 ever
struck, and they will steal anything
they can lay hands on, no matter
whether it is worth anything or not.
1 have seen some pretty big and some
rather promiscuous crowds in America,
but this one certainly captured the
prize in all respects. There must have
been six hundred thousand to one mil
lion people there. Nobody can convey
a notion of such a crowd with mere
figures. 1t was at least ten times as
large a gathering as L ever saw at a
race before

a Grnnd SforIn Scene.

Jesse Barritt, County Superintendent OF
Schools, IN Missouri, recently, while going
from Hillsboro to Butler, village four
miles northwest of HIllsboro, witnessed
one of the most magnificent sights he
ever saw and one which, perhaps, few
men have ever had the opportunity Of
seeing. Arriving at the top of Cross
Hill, high eminence about two miles
west Of HIllsbOro, he says the air sud
denly became entirely calm. producing
an oppressive, sitting sensation, which
was followed by peculiar, sickening
smell. lie then saw five distinct cyclones
IN the west and southwest, which he
describes as huge balls Of cloud travel
ing in a northeasterly direction at a
terrific rate of speed. All were dis
tinctlY outlined and appeared at tunes TO
come to the ground and bound INTO the
ar to a great height. They were in a
constant state of agitation and as they
rose from the earth they became llumI-
mated; while near the earth they ap-
peared to be of a greenish color. They
were accompanied by deafening roar.
One of them passed immediately over
him, but, fortunately, did not reach low
enough to do any damage. He asserts
that be saw nothing of the funnel shape so
often described. but that they appeared
most OF the time perfectly round They
were a number of miles apart apparently,
but all going in the same direction.
He says that while the display was
grand beyond description, he never wants
to witness such sight again; but they
were evidently stragglers belonging to
the army of cyclones that passed over
o,n State an hour or two before, and
fortunately had no time to unsheath
their devastating funnel and strike the
earth, Only those that appeared at
great distance seemed to come to the
ground. They passed out Of sight In
less than three minutes and were fol
lowed b. heavy wind and torrents ol
rain.

Lamps in Yokohama

As the hour approaches for the hgntlng
of lamps in the evening al Yokohama, the
sound of the patrol Is heard, and all night
long the streets are perambulated by these
warning guardians, who beat two hand
sticks or clappers together with the regu-
larity Of cIockwork, giving forth sharp,
ringing sound that there is no mistaking,
and they also have a regular note of warn
