WASHINGTON, May 3.--In spite of the
cloudy and cold weather the attendance
at Ivy City was more than good on ac-
count of the steeplechase which WASH
tonians always turn out to see. Much
disappointment was manifested, how
ever. when it was discovered that seven
of the nine announced starters for the
national handicap had been scratched,
for which. various reasons were given by
the respective owners. In Salyini's case
it was a valid one, as he struck himself
i'm his work and became lame. The race
was little more than a walk over for
Orihamme.
The starting was only fair. In the
third race when the flag was dropped
the horses were all strung out. and in
the fourth UltimatJtm was almost left
at the post The favorites were success
full in all except the last race. In the
steeplechase Jake Shipsey was the only
horse 10 finish. The others fell and Up
dyke, the rider of Killarney, was badly
and perhaps fatally Injured.

THEY RENT IN NOVEMBER.
Why a Large Number of New York Tenants
Move About Now.

NEW YORK, November 15.-November
renting has become SO important branch
of the real estate business that several firms
of brokers have made it speciality and de
vote the entire energies of their Offices to it
at this season of the year. Those who have
not looked into it can hardly appreciate the
magnitude of this branch of the business.
The reason for its establishment grew out
of the increasing disposition of families of
large, but not lavish, means to divide their
time between houses in the city and in the
country. or, rather, to spend not more than
half of each year in the city. The
very rich can afford to maintain SIM
ultaneously both city and, country houses.
But there is large class upon whom
the maintenance at the same time OF ex-
pensive separate establishments bears too
heavily. It. was mainly for the accommo-
dation of this class that November renting
came in fashion. These people rent houses
for six months and pay good prices for their
use.
The new system proved attractive to
many people who are not circumscribed by
the conditions above indicated, but who
like to spend the winter in this city and en-
joy its social and other advantages. This
class also has been in the habit of renting
houses for half year only.

LOVE IN A HOSPITAL.
BY CHARA BROUGHTON.

''Now don't fret, my poor fellow. It's a
hard case, but Miss Carman III be in direct
ly, and she'll comfort you up, and tell you
just what to do"
s'Miss Carman? And who's she?". feebly
inquired the patient in the adjoining cot, a
tall, fne-looking young man of % or "a,
with an unmistakable German face and &C.
cent.
''Miss Carman? Why, she's lady that's
trainin' to be a nuss; she's been here six
months or more. She's the brightest, cheer
lest little body you ever did see, and q real
eddicated lady, too. though she's got no
airs nor nonsense about her. Her and DR..
Eggleston is both great favorites with the
patients, all on 'em, for though he's a leetle
queer and rough-spoken, he's got very
kind heart of his own, and is a real smart
doctor besides"
HAS Miss-vat YOU call her?-taken any
care of me?' asked the other patient, with
q bewildered look.
"Miss Carman? Bless you, yes, my boy;
she's been 'tendin' on you continooally.
But you had an uncommon bad hurt, and
have been off your head ever since you was
brought in, you see. This mornin' arly she
was in, but you was sleepin' beautiful-the
fust real good sleep you've had here-and
she wouldn't disturb you. She said things
looked very encOuragin' for you. But here
she comes now, and if she can't set that
matter straight, why, nobody can, that's
all"
"What's the matter?" asked Miss Carman,
seating herself by the bed. and taking the
patients hand in hers. Her voice was soft
and musical, and full of cheer. Her curly,
yellow hair was like a halo of sunshine
about the middle size and had just entered
on her 23d year.
The young German looked into her face
with a wild, pleading expression in his blue
eyes. ''Oh, goot LADY," he gasped out,
