THE RACES YESTERDAY.
The Program rs Outlined for This Afternoon
Promises to be Attractive and Interesting.

The first of the series of spring races
Yesterday afternoon at the spacious and
handsome grounds of the Interstate Ear
Association drew quite large crowd OF
people TO witness one of the best contested
turf events OF the season.
The races were matched ones and some
notable ''higifiyers" were entered for the
prize. The first race was q mile dash
for purse OF 800 side with the follow
ing entries: ..Sorrel Al' by Hatchet,
Rex Stratton'' by Ward. The former
had the pole and after a good
start by W. P. McNair. with Judges
Frank Mason, J. T. Mcmillan and Chas-
Derby in the box, got off we'll together,
Rex leading in the start, closely pushed
by Sorrel Al to the second quarter pole,
when Rex drew steadily away from the
little sorrel and came down the home
stretch an easy winner by a length. Time
1:1S19.
The second race was a 500 yards dash for
purse of 800 side After an annoying
waite of nearly three houEs. during which
a chute was constructed at the three-fouth
pole, the horses Kate Bender and
Grasshopper got off about SIX
o'clock. the latter being an
easy winner by about twenty-five feet.
This last race although short was the
most exciting of the two, and when the
little midget who rode 'Grasshopper"
came in the winner, he was greeted with
the utmost enthusiasm from the numer-
Gus hackers of the Little Favorite."
There was large audience at the races
and notwithstanding the tedious wait for
the second race, which the management
was in no wise responsible. the best OF
order and good humor was prevalent
upon the grounds. The street car com
pany afforded ample facilities to and from
the grounds for those who had no rigs OF
their own, for which the public generally
are duly thankful.
THIS AFTERNOON.
The program this afternoon embraces
embraces trotting, running and pacing
races, in which the following well known
horses are entered: Marlowe, Edward b,

opportunity to visit the beautiful grounds
of the Interstate Fair Association there
will be no charge for admission TO the
grounds today, and all who attend will, In

o,eomarsarino Decision.

The United States Supreme Cnrr. has
just decided n case that sustuin, the Pc.
sylvania law which makes il unlawful for
any person to manufacture. sell or Offer
for sale any butter or cheese. or article
designed to take the place Of tliesr articles,
produced from any compound other than
unadulterated milk or cream. Tie
plaintiff was convicted OF violation %:
this statute and took an appeal. bnsin-
it On the ground that the statute was in
violation OF the lith amendment TO the
constitution, and that the article sold wa.
new invention not dcctcrious To tI,.
public health. The court holds that il is
entirely within the police powers OF the
state to protect the public health. and
that the questions whether the manufac.
ture OF Oleomarsarine is or may be con.
Quoted in such u way as to involve su,i,
danger to the public health as to require
the suppression OF the business rather
than its regulation are questions OF fact
ard public policy which belon. to the le-is.
lative department to determine. II all
that can be said OF this legislation is that
it is unwise or unnecessarily oppressive,
their appeal must be to the legislature or
to the ballot box. not to the judiciary.
Tho court also says it cannot assent to
the argument that il this statute is sus.
tanned then nothing stands in the way of
the destruction by the legislative depart .
ment OF the constitutional guarantee Of
liberty and prosperity. The answer to
this argument it holds is. that the judici
ary department is bound not to give effect
to statutory enactments that arc plainly
forbidden by the constitution. The OBJ.
jection that the statute dcnios the equal
protection OF the laws is also held to be
untenable. for the same reason that
the same penalties and burdens are i'm.
posed upon all persons in the sans busi.
ness. Judgment 10 affirmed. Opinion w
