ALTHOUGH yesterday was a peculiarly duh,
warm, uneventful day, some excitement was caused
when the steamer Sensation pulled up at the Mon

Enough Presents Were Sent to Fill Large
Drygoods Store.
The presents received by the Duke and
Duchess of Fife in anticipation of the
bsby's birth were sufficient to fill large
drygoods store. Among other things nine
cradles arrived. Two of these are of solid
black ebony inlaid with gold, and third is
of silver fligree work, modelled after the
marble cradle exhibited in Westminster
Abbey as a monument to the infant grand
child of Mary, Queen of Scots-this by way
of compliment, no doubt, to the Duke of
Flies Scotch lineage.
Another is made of ordinary dried bull
rushes, and was sent by no less aperson than
the Queen Regent of Spain, who, in an
autograph letter, drew attention to the fact
that the luckiest baby known was Moses,
and he was similarly Graded. Her Spanish
Majesty took away all idea of meanness with
her present by filling the little bulrush re-
ceptacle with several hundred yards of the
most exquisite and beautiful Arragon lace
A simple Scotchwoman, a tenant of the
Duke of Fife, sent the Duchess an ordinary
wicker clothes basket, with an atfectionate
motherly letter, nwhich she hoped that the
Duchess would like the basket as she her
self (the old Scotch body, had found one

Do Not Attach Much Weight to the With

CHICAGO, June 15.-The annual meeting of
the Supreme Council of Federated Railway
Employees began in this city this afternoon.
The members only remained in session few
minutes when an adjournment was taken to
attend the funeral of Vice Grand Master
Drury, one of the founders of the Railway
Switchmens Brotherhood.
Speaking fthe meeting, Secretary Sheahan
said: "You may be sure that nothing further
will be done with reference to the North
western matter. The switchmen had right
to resign if they wished, and the council has
acted. There is a feeling that the switchmen
have rushed into print too largely. The
matter may be of great concern to them, but
to the General Council it is u matter Of small
moment"
The council will discuss changes in the
constitution which have been shown to be
necessary, especially to prevent strikes by
part of the federation without allowing the
Supreme Council an oportunity to act.

Somewhat Poor Racing at the Finish of a

Somewhat Poor Racing at the Finish of a
Very Good Spring Meeting.
NEW YORK, June l5.-The spring meeting
at Morris Park was brought to a close to-day
before one of the smallest crowds of the sea-
son. The weather was intensely hot The
card was a miserably poor one and again the
majority of race goers we're saving their
money for the Suburban tomorrow.
The track was of course in tirst-class shape,
but the racing was of a very inferior quality,
two of the events developing into walk
overs, and the others being but little better.
The feature of the card, if it could be called
such, was the Bay Chester stakes for Syear-
olds at one mile. 1t was robbed of all inter-
est, however, as L'Intriguante completely
outclassed all the other starters, and she
galloped in the easiest possible kind of a
winner.
First race seven furlongs-India Rubber first,
Walcot second Flavia third. Time, :23.
Second race one mile and one furlong-Raceland
first MissIye second. Time, 1:57Z.
Third race one mile-L 'Intriguante first India
Rubber second Trinity third. Time, 1:44.
Fourth race six furIongs-Dr. Wilcox first, Dis
appointment second, Arnold third. Time, IA.

NEW YORK, June 15.-The Suburban handi-
cap, the second of the big events of the
year, is to be decided tomorrow afternoon
at the Coney Island Jockey Clubs pict-
uresque track at Sheepshead Bay, and, while
the race has been robbed of much of its in
terest by the withdrawal of the game little
Firenzi and the fleet Kingston, who were eX-
pected to give Tenny q battle royal for the
honors, the contest is bound to be inspiring
and the victor will not return to the scales
without knowing that he has been racing.
1t is probable that Tenny will go to the
post the most pronounced favorite that has
ever started for any of our great spring
handicaps. If Isaac Murphy has the mount
it is a guarantee that the horse will be rid
den well, as well as human hands can guide
him, and should he lose ON his merits there
will be no excuse for him. 1t is singular
fact that his most doughty opponent is also
a son of Ryan Dor, the speedy Tea Tray.
He carries ten pounds less than the favorite,
but while horse of great speed and un-
doubted gameness, nobody has ever thought
him anything like the equal of his dis
tinguished relative. Billy Lakeland refused
to-day to divulge the name of his rider.
night, there will hardly be more than 10 or
u at the post. Next to Tenny the chances of
Tea Tray are considered most brilliant, and
many persons will ignore the fa'orite and
support Tea Tray for the place. Riley's vic
tories have penalized him to such an extent
that he will.carry l25 pounds. Tom Kiley,
who rode the colt in many of his most nota-
BILE races, and who understands him thor
oughly, has come on from Chicago to ride
Corrigan's colt, but it is difficult to figure
how he has chance to beat Tenny or Tea
Tray on a dry fast track. Raceland's last
two races at Morris Park were of the i'm
proving kind and showed conclusively that
the old gelding is getting back into his best
form. When on edge he is an opponent to
be feared, but he is scarcely at concert pitch
yet, and if he starts will scarcely play a
prominent part. Judge Morrow, 123 is
tarred with the same stick
