All the nominations that are likely
races of the Twin City Jockey club,
TO be run at Hamline next July,
have been received, and Secretary
Shaw is now engaged in tabulating
them for Issuance in pamphlet form.
The grand total Of nominations is 455, a
blight falling off, as compared with last
year. but the class of horses entered is
infinitely superior to those that ran at
the inaugural meeting. Not only are
the horses entered for this years events
Of higher grade than last year, but in
stead of being scratched, as was the
case In 1889, causing disappointment to
the club and its patrons, assurances
have been received by Secretary Shaw
from a large number of prominent
owners, that Hamline will be their
Mecca Sfser the close of the meeting at
WashfE4ton Park and that they will
transfer their stables to the Northwest
instead of sending only the horses
nominated for stake events. Another
cause of disappointment to the club last
year was the sparse attendance. This
lack of appreciation was due III meas
IRE to the scratching of Spokane and a
large number of other star performers
at the last moment, but the races were
all that could be desired and afforded
wholesome sport such as had never be-
fore been presented to Minnesotans. 1t
is the intention Of the club this year to
spare no expense in arranging for the
comfort of its patrons not only at the
track, but in going to and from Ham
line. If the people of Minnesota, and
especially of the Twin Cities, give the
club the support it deserves, the second
meeting at Hamline will be the most
successful ever held in the West out
side of Chicago.

Rigid ECONOMY.

st. Joseph (Mo) Herald.
There is q good story told of the econ
omical qualities of two well-known and
wealthy gentlemen living in the east
part OF town that is a good lesson for
those recklessly extravaganza persons
who are not possessed OF the true spirit
of economy. On certain night one of
these gentlemen called on the other to
transact little business at the formers
residence. The host lighted a candle
that they might examine some papers,
but he Immediately blew it out again
when they were through. leaving both
sitting in the dark.
"Why did you blow out the candle?''
asked the caller.
sob, we can talk in the dark as we'll
as in the light, and it saves the candle"
was the reply.
They continued their conversation
for short time, when the host heard
some mysterious sounds coming from
the direction of the callers chair, and
inquired what his friend was doing.
Why" said his friend, 'it's dark in
here, and no one can see me, so
thought I would take of my trousers to
save the wear on Them"

The initiatory steps have been taken
to form driving club In st. Paul. The
plan of organization will be similar to
that of the Washington Park club. The
club will have leo charter members,
composed principally of members of the
Minnesota club who take an interest in
matters pertaining to the turf. The
charter members will pay an initiation
fee of S100 each, which will give fund
at once of $4,000, and the annual dues
will be S25. Arrangements are being
completed to give trOtting meeting,
including July 4, at which purses
amounting to $4,000 will be hung up.

MUsTACHE SOUVENIRS.
Young Ladies Who Collect Hairs
From Mems Upper Lips.

Young Ladies Who Collect Hairs
From Mems Upper Lips.
The girls have new fad. Il would
be extremely difficult to guess what it
is, for it is destined to cause young men
with handsome mustaches no end of
trouble before it runs its course.
The novelty seems to have originated
with the young ladies of Manchester,
n. H., and consists of collecting hair
from the hirSute adornment Of young
mems upper lips as a token of re-
membrance, but it is feared that
it is really a collection of mus
tache hairs properly labeled and CLASH
fed by young ladies that they may show
to their lady friends, and by the dis play
of the fayors receive at the hands of
many gentlemen acquaintance create
jealousy in the minds Tor hearts) of
their less fortunate sisters.
All the available young men are
solicited to part with just one single
hair from their upper lip to swell the
collection. and it is indeed a hard
girl this favor. The hairs are stuck on
a large card with a white wafer, on
which are placed the initials of the
donor.
1t can be readily seen that very in
teresting collection can thus be made.
The young lady sits with her conf
dental female friend, and, instead of
going over photograph album, eX-
planning each picture, takes the card
with the collection of hairs from the
manly faces and tells how, when and
where each separate one was obtained,
and all about the donor. Whether or
not in the sweet ecstatic bliss accom-
panying stolen kiss such particular
hair did not first touch her lips, and
sent through her whole being a thrill,
which, even then, it was delightful to
remember. This latest fad is much
preferable to collecting locks of hair,
and then. hair collecting is so common
an idea. The girls want something
later, and this is the result.
1t is said, however, that there are a
number of the Manchester boys who are
at present clean shaven, because their
fair friends have made such demands
upon them that their WhiSkers had be-
come so sadly thinned they were obliged
to grow another crop, but others say
that the shaving was done to save what
there was left. At any rate, the collec-
ton of mustache hairs just now is all
the rage there, and it will probably last
until something else is Matched by a
fertile brain to take its place among the
fads Of the nineteenth century.

A BLIND GENIUS.

Work of Vidal, One of the Fore
most Sculptors of France.
st. Louis Republic.
Vidal, the blind sculptor, is one of the
wonders of the French capital. He has
been blind since his twenty-first year.
We can quite easily understand how a
blind farmer would cultivate the ground
with the pillow, spade or hoe ;how he would
reel around the tender plants and gently
loosen the dirt from the roots, or how
the blind Birmingham. Ala. miner
tells. with the sense of touch alone, the
direction and to what depth to drill his
holes before putting in blast: but the
work OF Vidal stands out in bold relief,
unique, wonderful and Incompatible.
10 be sculptor it is generally sup
posed that one must have the ''mechan-
spicuity. The latter's faculties Vidal
has to an exceptional degree-even
more acute, he believes, than if the
former were not lost to him for
ever: By slowly passing his
hands over an object he notes
its external proportions and initiates
them in clay in manner which strikes
the beholder dunrb with surprise. A
dog, horse, human face, or anything
alive or dead, he models with as much
ease as any of the dozens of Paris
Ian sculptors who still retain
the faculty of sight. From 1855
to 1876 Vidal received more
medals than any other exhibitor of
works in the Paris art exhibitions.
Many of his works, made in the solitude
ON the shelves at the great Expo
sition, where the blind wonder
contends in friendly rivalry with
his less unfortunate brother
artists. He never complains, is always
genial and festive when among his
friends, who always speak of and to
him as though he could see, and we'll
may they do so, for he is one of the best
art critics in all Paris.
