NORRIS PARK RACE TRACK, July 11.-After
lapse Of several days racegoers found them
selves again at Morris Park to-day. The
change was a welcome one. Morris Park is
popular with all classes, and will continue 10
be SO Just as long as It's proprtetors, Messrs.
John A. II. Norris continue to do as they
have done in the past, and that is keep an eye
open for the comfort of the public.
Everything that can be done for the conve-
nience OF the public is done and the result Is
clearly visible.
To-day there are probably $1,000 people
present when the first race was run. This
speaks volumes.
The programme was an attractive one, sew
erai stake events being the features.
For the Shrewsbury Handicap Rowland was
TO meet Riley over mile and a half, aud the
crowd was divided in their opinion as to who
would win. All agreed that De Muth was a
dangerous element; also the race promised
TO be grand one.
The first race was also good one. Judge
Morrow, Sir John ana Bermuda were agreed
upon as the only oIeS IN II. Judge Morrow
was the lavOrite, OF course. His past races
nave been one string OF successive victories,
ana very small odds were the best that could
De secured against him.
Mary TOOK flyer on st. John to beat him
and shrewd hOrsemen believed that this was
only remote possibility. Judge Morrow
won easily from Bermuda, who beat Beansey
a neck.
Fremont was made on even money fayorite
IN the second race. Certainly his past per-
fOrmances Justified the price. Airplunt
seemed TO be the only onther horse who was
packed at all. There were several unknown
quantities In the race, and big bettors held

PROFITABLE INVENTIONS.

by inventing an odd toy that danced By

THE New Jersey man who hit upon
the idea of attaching rubber erasing

$500, 600.
The man who made the return ball,
an ordinary wooden ball with rubber
string attached to pull it back, made
81, 200, 900 from it.
AS LARGE sum as was ever obtained
Tor any invention was enjoyed by the
Yankee who invented the in e ted glass
bell to hang over gas jets TO prevent
ceilings from being blackened by smoke.

every one has seen for 50 G, and which
every woman owns, was a boon to reedle.
users. The man who invented it has an
income OF $4,000 year from his inven-
tion.
EVERY one has seen the metal plates
that are used to protect the heels and
soles OF rough shoes, but every one
doesn't know that within ten years the
man who hit upon the idea has made
$250,000.
TIE inventor of the roller-skate has
made $1,00O,OOO, Notwithstanding the
fact that his patent had nearly expired
before the value Of 1t was ascertained in
the craze for roller-skating that srread

OF putting copper tips on the toes OF
children's shes is as we'll off as II he had
inherited $1,000 for that's the
amount his idea has realized for him in
cold, clammy coin.
The miner who invented metal rivet,

strain caused by the carriage of pieces
OF ore and heavy tools, has made more
money from his letters patent than he

THOUGHTFUL THOUGHTS.

AGREEABLE counsels are rarely useful
ones.
THE purest water runs from the hard.
est rock.
CONSCIENCE is judge placed in the in
terror Of our being.
OBSCURE virtue is often undervalued
because it is unseen.
IT is only for the innocent that soil,
tude can have charms.
The more honesty man has the less
he affects the airs of saint.
CONSCIENCE Is the voice of the soul;
passion the voice Of the body.
FLATTERY is a false money which
only has currency in our vanity.

when one loves something more than 1t.

erosity of the world generally lies below
the medium line.
THE trouble with too many American
families is that they do not begin to save
anything until they feel the need of it
and then it is commonly too late. The

and of smaller ones as well-were laid
before their accumulators were 80 years
Of age, generally much earlier than that.
