day of the year by G.

day of the year by &.
1t is now very plain that if any per-
son can tell the day on which any year
commences, he can, by short, calcu.
lation, tell on what day of the week
any day of any month will occur in
that year.
For example, he can determine the
following facts:
July 4, 1886, was Sunday.
Dec. s, 1S49 was Saturday.
Sept. 25, 1888, was Tuesday.
April 2, 1856, was Sunday.
Jan. s, 1915, was Sunday.
July 4, 1776, was Thursday.
July 4, 1870, was Saturday,
Dec. s, 1874, was Tuesday.
March l, 1890, will be Saturday.
July 4, 1857, was Saturday.
There are two rules for finding the
Dominica letter for this century, and
the pupil can work by both rules. If
both rules give the same letter, the
calculation is very certain to be right.
Rule 1st--Multiply the number of
the year above 1900 by 5, and divide
the product by 4, neglecting the re.
mainder. Divide the quotient by Z,
and subtract the remainder from 5, if
it is less than 5; or from II, when the
remainder is equal to Or greater than ..
This last remainder is the number of
the Domnical letter.
In leap years, the Dominica letter
thus obtained is the one for the last
ten months Of the year. The letter for
the first two months.is the next follows
ing letter in the alphabet, except when
the Dominical letter thus obtained is
G, in which case the letter for the next
two months will be it.
Rule 2d.-To the given year add its
fourth part, rejecting the fraction; di-
vide this sum by Z; if nothing remains
the Dominica letter is A; but if there
is remainder subtract it from s, and
the residue will be the number of the
Dominica letter for that year.
The extra letter for leap year will
be found as in the first.
Let us now apply these rules and
prove the last Of the above statements,
viz, that July 4, 1857, was Saturday,
81 multiplied by five produces 2S5.
285 divided by gives a remainder of
/; subtract the remainder from 5, and
the remainder is 4. y is therefore the
Dominical letter, as it is the fourth
of the alphabet.
The fourth day of the year was Sun
day and the frstwas Thursday.
Having established the fact that the
year 1867 began on Thursday, find on
what day of the week was the fourth
day of the same year as follows:
Count all the daYsin January except
the first, go; February, %; March,
81; April, 80; May, 81; June, 80;
July, 4. Total 1877. Divide this amount
by 7 and it gives 26 weeks and 2 days
over, consequently the fourth of July
was 2 days after Thursday, which is
Saturday.
To find the same Dominical letter by
rule second proceed as follows:
4)1857
Add one fourth 464

POINTS About the Riders In the Ten Mic
Race to be Run Mt the Fan
AIc..IlIia.

As announced yesterday, The man
agement OF the Driving Park nssoclh-
ton have arranged with j. Il. Eversto
have an eauestrienne match during the
fall races, distance ten miles, TO be nd
den by Madame Marantette and Miss
Minnie Peck, $500 to be given to the
winner and 500 to the loser, changes
from horse to horse to he made ut the
end of each mile without dismount,
ing. These two equcstriennes are OLD
and experienced in their line. They
have been travelling together for sew
oral months under the management of
j. b. Evers and ID. III. Harris. THESE
parties carry nine thoroughbred horses
with them in order To make gooa liiie.
Among the horses they nave IS hooeit
NJ, the maker Of the fastest iilth ilaIl-
mile heat ever run, IL being mace at
Chicago two years ago in forty-eisht
seconds. They also carry experienced
men to handle the horses.
Madame Marantette was born in
France, where she became the cham
pion equestrienne. She came TO
this country ten years ago, put
has only been riding here two
years. She is the champion ten mile
rider of the world, having made that
distance at Syracuse, n. ", August
1852 in 20:0l ], where she rode with
Misses Burke, Pinneo and Cricket
Still. For gracefniness as n rider she
is unexceled.
Miss Myrtle Peek has been used to
the saddle since she was five years old
Now ut the age of sixteen she Is the
champion long distance equestrienne of
the world. The fastest time ever made
for twenty miles was made by her at
Minneapolis in August 1882, when she
rode IL in 1885.
These two have been riding together
since the first OF last April, having
been in from one to three races each
weeks They have both had some very
narrow escapes from death, hay
ing fallen more than once.
Whenever they have had a
contest, great interest has been ere
ated and betting las been lively. They
ride, they claim, strictly ON their
merits, each striving to win the race.
The date here has not been definitely
settled. 1t will Ice either the 23d on
oath instant. On the 2lst n race oil
two miles will be run, just to give an
earnest of the workmanship of the
noted equestriennes. 1t is expected
that the contest will attract many peo-
ple from the neighboring towns.

WHO WERE THEY
A suspicious Couple Cause the City onicials
same Trouble.


A young man, riding n roam horse,
rode into Fort Worth on Tuesday
morning and pat his horse in u wagon
yard. He then sauniered around the
CITY and tried to sell the animal, stat
Ing that the horse belonged to his wife,
who would come to the city on
the afternoon Millsap train.
Not being able TO dispose
OF the animal, lie went TO meet his
alleged wife at the union depot ut AZ,
O'clock. 4 woman met him there and
the two proceeded to the Planters
house, where they registered as man
and wife. Neither was seen any more,
until yesterday morning the man got
his roam charger and proceeded to the
public square and offered IL for sale.
A purchaser was soon found and the
money paid over, and a bill of sale
demanded. When the man offered to
get his wife to draw up the papers the
new owner objected to the transaction,
and the money was refunded, the roam
charger being relegated to the stable.
News of the transaction came to the
ears of our city officials and they de-
termined to investigate, thinking If
the roam charger Aforesaid had been
stolen they would steala march on the
man who stole him. So after much
1eliberation and consultation they
thought they would arrest this pecu-
liarly acting stranger. so the tele-
phones were put in use and it was
learned that the man and woman We're
going west OH the afternoon train, and
the man was ARE sted shortly before
the train arrived, and upon question
ing him it was found he came from Ar
lington and the woman immediately
from Mesquite, but as he had not
claimed the horse IA his own and there
being no positive proof that it did
not belong to his alleged wife
he was discharged, but the, line Of
questions put to him convinced all
who heard that something was
wrong. One of the officers charged
him with running of with another
mans wife who lives in Arlington, and
he did not deny IL. He left word at
the wagon yard that ifa man named
Webb called for the road charger TO
let him have it, saying that Webb
lived in Arlington. The couple al
! tracted much attention, Sizing az much
in the shadows rs they could last
night while waiting for the west
bound train, which they boarded and
went west, doubtless to grow up with
! the country.

An exchange had this to say in
reference to Thos. w. Keene, who APP
pears here next Tuesday and Wcdnes-
day nights:
An engagement that has been looked
forward To with great interest will be-
gin on Monday evening, October 18th,
at the operahouse. Thomas w.
Keene, the popular tragedian, is to
make his first appearance in this city.
Mr.. keene's position among contem-
porary tragic actors is now absolutely
secured. He is now in the fourth year
ofhis career rs Shakespeare star, and
if report is 10 be believed, is attracting
much larger audiences than ever be-
fore. Mr. keene's popularity some ofhis
rivals ascribc to the shrewdness ofhis
managers, but critic writing
on that subject recently says: "II the
first plncc Mr. keene possesses II voice
of ample volume, free from the gurg-
| ling, throaty in tone into which some
of our tragedians merge ia moments
of excitement and passion. II is also
free from that hard, metallic quality
which prevents the auditor from he
lieving that the actor is ever in full
sympathy with the feeling
of the line or sentence
he has uttered. The pos.
session of good voice is accidental,
but it is of all accidents the luckiest
that can belal tragedinn. The next
great requisite Of the actor il mobility
of feature. In several scenes in shy
lock, Richard LII and Macbeth, , il
is oftener The expression and gesture
of Keene than his mere delivery that
capture the spectators Those who
have seen Mr.. Keene can scarcely fail
to recognize the business of this criti-
cism. Opinions concerning his acting
| seem to agree that this season shows
more study in the subtlety of execu-
ton. His support is said TO be exceed
ingiy strong. Mr.. Newton Gotthold,
an Actor who needs no word of intro.
duction, will be his leading man.
