A japanese newspaper Is very
different thing from what we are &C
customcd TO find ON our breakfast
tables. Our last page is It's first; Its
columns only run half the length OF
the PAGE; it has no such Sing as head
lines or scare heads, " and Us titles
run from top to bottom instead OF
across: it han but a few rough ILLUS
trations; it prints few advertisements,
brt those are paid for at a compare
lively high rate; Its price IS low,
ranging from l TO 2 cents copy
end from 25 to 80 cents a month
and it knows nothing yet OF sensa-
tioaal advertisements or flaming
posters or deeds Of journalistic DER
ing do" In general, its scale IS much
more that Of the French newspaper
than of the world moving monsters OF
London, New York and Philadelphia.
The only evidence Of it that one sees
in the streets is the newsman, trot-
ting along with a bundle OF neatly
folded papers under his arm and an,
nomcing his passage by the incessant
tinlsling Of a little brass bell tied to
his waistband behind.-Henry Nor

season sixteen times and has won nine
times. The last six times she has faced
the starter she has Won. She has DEM
onstrated that she has all the race
horse qualities. She can cover dis
lance, carry weight and has unlimited
speed. She has beaten the best horses
in the east in a number of closely con-
tested battles, and has o for her
owner 1913 1856. She has won the great
Long Island stakes. the Average stakes,
the Monmouth handicap, the Champion
mouth cup, and many other less notable
events. She ran third in the Suburban.
In talking of the three-year-olds,
western turfmen say: "Oh, yes, Kings
ton and Hanover and The Bard were all
great horses, but if the Emperor had
Just held up!" Truly, his career was
like a meteor. HIS last eight races
were an unbroken line OF victories, and
in the other two races that he lost he
was placed. From the T~roubadour
stakes at Nashville early in the spring
to the American derby at Chicago last
summer he faced and defeated the best
of the three-year-olds east and west. He
may never hear the drum tap again,
but he deserves to be named in the first
class. He is a bay colt, by Norfolk, out
OF Marian, and is owned by Lucky"
Baldwin.
The greatest of the sound three.year-
olds is Los Angeles, who has a record
of ten victories out of eighteen starts,
and who has won for her owner S2S ,952.
She is also owned by Baldwin, and is a
chestnut FLY by imported Glenelg out
Of La Polka. She was the first FLY to
win the Latonia derby, and in addition
to that she won the Monmouth oaks,

stakes, the Pocahontas stakes and u
number of handicaps.
1t is to this years two-year-olds that

of them have made remarkable records.
In many instances the best time of the

Fast Horses,

New York World: Every day in sum-
mer a gaunt, brOken-spirited old horse
may be seen jogging along the beautiful
turnpike between Versailles and Lex
ington. KY, drawing after him an old
buggy. He is callOus to shout and whip.
His eyes are dim, and his once glossy
coat has been burned by the sun into a
rough brick-dust red. Yet the old fell
low sometimes pricks his ears up and
unexpectedly dashes away at full speed,
especially when another horse goes gal
Looping by. On these occasions the old
horse seems to remember that a few
years ago he was the pride of the
turf, and he hears ringing in his ears
the hoarse shouts OF the thousands when
he swept under the string with every
nerve and muscle strained to the ut
most, winning by a head, defeating the
renowned Hindoo, prince Of racers and
of stations, after the fiercest of contests.
For the name of this shabby old dis
crowned king of the turf is Checkmate,
and his life and his present condition
are an epitome of the race horse. Look
at old Checkmate jogging along the
quiet country road, and glancing over
| brilliant racers of the past season. one
cannot help thiaking that they are all
running with unexampled speed, be-
| cause they have time and tide both with
them, straight for old CLeckmate's
| place, though most of them may not
! find such pleasant quarters.
! During the past season there has been
an annual mortality of great horses, for
the two years preceding were prolific
Of wonderful performers. fremont is

Regent, Kaloolah? The names sound
like an echo.
But the season in many respects has
been an exceptionally brilliant one.
Never before were the stakes so large,
the contests SO close, the betting so
high, the uncertainty so great, the
t~hree-year-olds like Hanover and
Kingston, no two-year-olds like Ire
mont, but there has been a general
average OF fine racing. In a number OF
instances the record has been touched,
and several times it has been lowered
New records have been made for four
distances. Daniel b, at Helena, Mont.
made three-eights Of a mile in 0:34i;
Wheeler Il. ran a mile and one-six'
teenth at ST. Louis in 1:47t; Terra
Gotta. with ia pounds, ran one and one
eighth miles at Sheepshead Bay in 1853,
and Triboulet in San Francisco and
Richmond at Sheepshead Bay made one
and three eighths miles in 2:2lt.
Considering all things, the greatest
horse the season has produced IL
Firenzi, Mr.. Haggin's beautiful four
year-old bay flly by Glenslg. out o
Florida. She has started during the
