How Nelson Did Ii.

| 1t was after o'clock when the magic word
'g0," was given the starters in the great 220
class race at Mystic Park, and away the re-
now ned lot sped on to the first turn. Nelson
with Ira Woodbury. behind him had third
position.
To and by the half and ON to the three
quarter post. Nelson and I. T. S. made the
race, going like double team, while the 9TH
er five horses in the battle fought among
themselves for the places, and so close they
were together, no choice was between them.
Entering the last turn Nelson showed to the
front. and ere the stretch was reached he
took the pole rather abruptly from T. +. S.,
and thus laid good foundation for the heat.
He went under the wire in a jog one length
aheId Of IT'S, AMI three lengths ahead of
the field of horses, all well punched. Time,
2.2l1.
The second heat has an easy victory for
the Maine horse. The judges hung out III
though some made it as low as 2.17. The
cheering had hardly subsidized before Wood
bury drove the horse to the judges post on
he way to the stable. while he weighed,
when the applause again broke out with
renewed vigor and continued till the game
stallion was lost to sight in the stall.
In the third heat Nelson was out for a
record and many knew it. He went away
as if shot out of cannon, and rounded the
turn leading T. T. S. in second place by two
lengths and the others by three lengths.
Nothing eventful occurred from the turn to
the quarter pole, which Nelson passed in
34a, still strong and steady and with as even
gate as was ever on a race track. BY the
half Nelson shot in 1.09. with an action that
was beautiful to behold. Half way between
the half and three-quarter post he began to
show an unprecedented burst of speed hard
ly credible in a New England bred horse.
and as he did so the admiring crowd sent up
a cheer. In one eiyhth of mile the lead of
two lengths over I. 7. S. was increased to
about five lengths, at which time Nelson
passed the three-quarter post, and moved
just MS fast and naturally as possible into
the stretch, which he reached about six
lengths in front of TT. S., the second horse,
who led the next nearest horse in the field
by not over one length. Faster and faster
Nelson approached the finishing point, while
the cheers increased in volume, despite the
fact that thousands upon thousands of dol
lars were wagered upon the result. Mr.. G.
I'll. Nelson of Wateryille, the principal own
er of the stallion, and his breeder, stood in
the middle of the stretch, urging the horse
on, while Woodbury. urged him determinedy
but never laid tie hide on him One loud
and grand hurrah shot up as Nelson moved
under thewire winner of the heat and race,
while the hundred of watches on the grounde
were stopped, showing that the distance had
be covered in close to ZIG

BROOKLYN Bridge.

The Brooklyn bridge is no less a
marvel than it ever was, but it is now
such a commonplace convenience that
the people of the metropolis wonder
how they ever got along without it..
Over 33, 1000, 900 passengers passed over
the bridge during last year, of whom
more than 30,00),000 were railway
passengers. Not single serious ACCT
dent occurred on the railway. Fifty
eight persons were injured by falling
on the stains or from other causes.
Five lost children were found on the
bridge. One person committed sui
eide by shooting, and there were forty
two runaways with slight damages.
The bridge is we'll policed, so that
women pass alone at night without the
slightest annoyance. Public Opinion.

One Way OF Catching Cold.

I'VE find in neck wraps a common
cause of colds" says a writer on hy-
giene, and adds, IF, during winter, one
was certain to wear much the same
wrap at all times when IN the open air,
there would be less danger from it.
But the chances are that on some oc-
casions when it should be worn it would
be left off, either purposely or forgot
ten, and cold is the result. The silk
handkerchiefs, with which many men
adorn themselves, are perfect abomina-
tons, and cause more sore tbroats than
any other influence. When once put
on, the wearers are welded TO them for
the remainder of the winter. The coat
collar is ample protection when turned
up and buttoned closely, and man is
very foolish to use any other means for
the purpose"

EXPERTS in house building have sug-
gested that CRATES in second stories are
usually less safe than those below, as
the narrower ioists give little room for
the boxing of the hearth. 1t is also
urged that CRATES be examined care
fully to determine whether the back of
the flue is simply of four-inch wall,
which is always dangerous at the back
of grate in frame house. This can
be determined by measuring the dis
lance the breast extends out from the
wall. and as sometimes the breast runs
through flush with the face of the wall
in the next room, the calculation is to
be made accordingly.
