Big TrOttinp Purses.

The Charter Oak Driving association
announces this early that it has been
voted to add two similar events to the
annual $4,000 guaranteed stake race
during the grand circuit meetinS in
Hartford, Conn, in August next. The
$4,000 race, as usual, will be for horses
eligible in the q 0 class. TO this will
be added 5000 g Guaranteed stake race
for horses of the $50 class, and a $4,000
guaranteed stake race for PAGERS of the
2:30 class. Nearly quarter of the $50
horses that came into the $50 class last
season were PAGERS, or, in exact num-
bers, 113, and the association believes
that the 81 1000, which is guaranteed, will
bring to Hartford the best PAGERS from
all sections of the country. The aSso-
citation voted to adopt liberal policy
towards nominations in all three of these
races by requiring only per cent as the
initial payment in May, 2per cent about
Aug. l, and per cent at the time the
horses must be named, about Aug. 20.
1t is believed this will be more satiSfac-
tory to nominators than the former
plan.

Forty Tbousand for Trotters.

Secretary w. B. Fasig says that he
will advise the Cleveland Driving Park
company to establish $4,000 worth of
guaranteed trotting stakes for the Cleve-
land meeting of the 1883 grand circuit,
and that there is more than an even
chance that the stakes will be opened.
If SO the money will be divided into
four guaranteed purses of $4,000, one
for each day of the circuit meeting. The
classes will be 2:19, 2:24 or 2:25, $50
and $40. Each will close week in adj
vance of the opening of the meeting, at
which time the horses within the rec
ord limit will be eligible. 1t is also
likely that system of progressive en-
tries in connection with the stakes may
be worked. For instance, if nomination
buyer in the $40 class has horse past
the 2:40 mark on the limit date of eligi-
bility he can enter his horse in the faster
stake, and so on.

A GERMAN BRIDE.
Why She Came to America-Her
First Impressions.


Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
The story of adventures of foreigners
in this country has often been told, but
is still amusing. A German bride,
for instance, has recently afforded
some harmless entertainment to
the worthy folk of MasSachu-
sets village. She was but eighteen
and came to America to meet man to
childhood, but whom she had not seen
for dozen years. She tells with much
naivete of her arrival in New York.
She had written to her betrothed telling
him upon what steamer she would az
rive, but his reply had missed her, and
She was, therefore, ignorant where she
should meet him. When the steamer
reached New York, as she says:
81 saw the boats coming Off,and | saw
the tugbOat with many, many men on it
coming. So l got out the photograph
which Fritz hat sent me, and looked
at it,and looked at the men on the deck,
and at last l saw man l was sure
would be Fritz. So l pointed at him
straight with my fingers, and ! said
'HellO!' and the man took off his hat
and bowed. Then when they all
came on board the steamer, so
many, many, many OF them, saw this
one look about after me, and he could
not see me, and when he did he did not
know me. So beckoned to him, and 1
said, Come here to me- So he came
up and said, is this Gretchen Schmidt?'
And said, Yes and he said, How do
you d0?' with his hat off,
She adds frankly that her husband is
very pleasant man, and that she
thinks she shall like him very much
when she gets acquainted with him.
She disapproves entirely of the size
of American beds. She brought with
her goodly store OF linen, with many
embroidered sheets. These, when hung
ON the clothes-line, excited the lively,
curiosity of the neighboring housewives,
who were unacquainted with the mar
rowness of the coucheS upon which the
German woman's ancestors were wont
to take their repose. They could not
tell what these things were, and applied
to the bride for information.
"Oh," she answered in her nativ
tongue. "they were sheets; but tn
American beds are SO big they are N
go. SO | make them of use as dish
towels - ,...-

t'Then she poured out the coffee and
lifted the cover of the sugar bowl. ask
ing as she did so: How many spoons,
Jimmy?'
''Then she struck something that
wasn't sugar. She picked up the bowl:

saw it was money. She looked at me,
then at father, and then with trembling
fingers drew the great roll of bills out.
''Ha! ha! ha! [ can see father now
as he stood there then on tiptOe, with
his knife in one. hand, fork in the other
and his eyes fairly bullying out of his
head. But it was too much for mother.
She raised her eyes to heaven and said
slowly: Put your trust in the Lord, for
he will PROVIDE
Then she tainted away. Well, John,
there's not much more to tell. We
threw water in her face and brought
her to, and we demolished that dinner,

John was looking steadily at the head
of his cane. When he spoke he took
Jim by the hand and said: ''Jim, old
friend, what you have told me has af-
fected me greatly. l haven't heard
from my home way up in Maine for ten
years. [ am going home tomorrow.
