A SERIES OF SURPRISES.
Downfall of Hot ites-Bookmakers
Reaped Rich Harvest.

Downfall of Hot avorites-Bookmakers
Reaped a Rich Harvest.
MORRIS PARK, N. Y, June l3.-Fully Is,
600 persons were present here to-day and they
were treated to a series of surprises that were
anything but pleasant. The weather was all
that could have been desired, the track was
in frst-class shape, and the card offered was
a more than ordinarily good one. The two
stake events, tbs Bowling Brook Handicap
for three-year-olds and the Anticipation
stakes for two-year-olds, both wit
messed the downfall of red-hot
favorites, and the bookmakers reaped
such harvest as rarely falls to their lot.
Russell, the favorite for the handicap, was
beaten on his merits, but st. Florian, the
favorite for the Anticipation Stakes, was de-
feated through the stupidity of his rider, Lit
tlefela, and the superb jockeyship of Garr-
and Littlefeld took short nap. when Garri-
son, fairly lifting Nomad off his feet, drew up
and Won by short head. OF the other races
two went to longshots and two to favorites,
but the latter were at such short prices that
the public had no chance whatever at getting
even. -hf

Fifth ,race-14 miles. Kingston won, Dia
second. Time, 2:07!. This time is very fast,
and this race was Diablo's final preparation
for the Suburban. He made a fine showing,
and If his race to-day is any criterion he will
be knocking at the door at the Suburban
finish. Sixth race-1 1-16 miles. Esquima

A SMILE OF LIFE.
by BURroN T. DOYLE.


Philosophers compare the course of human
life
Unto rivers source and flow,
In which it is presumed that flokle forrune's
strife
Cojoles the spirits high or low;
And yet 1t seems, perhaps, better simile
And one by far more apropos,
To represent this life unto the destiny
Ofglacier-sliding drifted snow,
For, like the human SOUL which has transition
here,
This pilgrim of an earthly plain
is Heaven-born in source, but leaves its lofty
sphere
To come below and rise again.

In conformation to the mould
Of earth-ervironed homes among the rorges

Which mountain crags and ranges hold.
lis pure and plastic first, then character &C.
Distinct IN firmness and in tone,
When Majesty DEGREES remorseless nautres
gyres
And urges it to yield and groan
For 5ostled on its way through barrier-hedg-
ing folds
Which circumstances here maintain
To bound its Journey in its God-appointed
mouds.
1t ttravels on to reach the plain
And though it yields to fate and travels on
ward still
ALI scanned with scars from conflicts past,
It's ever wasting bulk renewed by unseen
win,
Is not consumed until the last
But ere it reach it's length, it's greatest width
g attain,
And vital springs begin to fail,
Its surface bears the spoils which conflicts
make its gain
From all the powers that assail
Though these be mainly scars, the cenotaphs
to pain
Whose piercing pangs have gone before,
The weighty burdens may, and sometimes do
contain
Some precious sparkling gems or ore,
whose rare intrinsic worth may admiration
hold
I'LL waste o'erwhelms the new supply;
And then the burden falls. the body wakes old
Decrepit, and prepared to die,
And then anon it takes disembarrassed form
For dissolution must have sway
1t soon resolves the whole to elemental form
And brings new forces into play.
With Transformations touch new elements
arise
In noble form-a ripping stream.
Which leaps rejoicing on, in freedom and sur
prise,
And vaults that which to it did seem
lmpassable ere change had set its forces free
And made its former burdens light;
1t glides serenely on through valleys to the sea
And merges with the infinite.
And thus, it seems, is life in origin and end
An animation from the Skies
Which comes in spirit form that it may here
--U- a. attend
Some combination till it dies,
And then 1t wends its flight back to the infinite
The ocean of eternity,
And blends its vital glow, just as the melting
snow
Commnges in fraternity.

What a Leading Merchant Says of s'The
Herald' as an Advertising Medium.

WASHINGTON, June II, 1891.
MeSSrS Soul6 c: Hcnsey:
GENTLEMEN: l wish in justice to THE sun
DAY HERALD to say few words as to its
value as an advertising medium. We watch
carefully the returns from our investments in
newspaper space, which we use as extensively
as any business firm in Washington AS a
result of this we have come to the conclusion
that the advertisements we insert in THE
SUNDAY HERALD bring more prompt and ex-
tensive returns than those inserted in any
other Washington paper. We have been
using the columns of THE HERALD for twenty
years, and we find it more satisfactory under
its present management than ever before.

The English fondness for 'taking nourish-
ment regular" was amusingly shown in the
baccarat scandal trial. No matter how i'm
portant the point the proceedings were at
when the lunch hour arrived, they were cut
sharp off, and judge and jury, prince and
parasites, lords and ladies filed out to the
public houses or fell to on the contents of
their lunch-baskets in the courtroom. 1t
seems to take tremendous amount of nervous
tension to make an Englishman willing to
miss a meal.

The result of the recent effort of the Di-
rector of the Mint to secure new and more
appropriate designs for our coins does not re-
fleet much credit on the ingenuity of Ameri-
can artists. Out of the three hundred and
odd designs submitted not one was thought
worthy of adoption by the commission of
artists which examined them. THE HERALD's
artist, who was too busy at the time to submit
any designs, now takes pity on Director
Leech's embarrassment and volunteers to offer
few suggestions as to what he thinks would
be eminently appropriate designs for Ameri-
can coins 1t will be observed by an inspec-
tion OF the designs on the first page of the
supplement that what they lack in beauty and
finish they more than make up in a sort OF
wild and woolly significance.

Itis probable there is little sensationalism or
exaggeration in the intimations from England
that the great baccarat scandal is likely to
still further sap the already insecure founda-
tions of the throne. The disgraceful affairs
in which the Prince of Wales became involved
in his earlier years are well nigh forgotten.
Although he has doubtless continued to live
the life of an elegant roue, he has kept out of
public scandal of late and his reputation has
become in some degree rehabilitated. But the
revelations made concerning his inveterate
gambling habits in the baccarat scandal trial
must have been tremendous shock to the
great respectable middle-class, whose loyalty
to the throne and devotion to the royal family
are the chief support of the monarchy The
Prince, now a grandfather, is seen still to
cling to the evil habits and associates of his
youth. Eager in the pursuit of pleasure,
reckless of the religious convictions and
prejudices of his future subjects, indurated in
the elegant vices of decadent aristrocacy,
how can such man make a good ruler or
even respectable fgurehead for State which
is really governed by Parliamentary majorities
What can the serious affairs of life and the
problems of society be to him-the struggle
of the masses for disenthrallment from in
dustrial slavery, for education, for chance
to live decent christian lives? Such questions
as these will arise in the minds of the millions
who are fast emerging from the pitiable
superstition of royalty and caste, and will
accelerate their evolution toward republican
ism. Why should great people through
mere sentiment entrust even the symbols of its
power to hands that can find no better occupa-
ton than manipulating baccarat counters or
discharging the functions of sbanker'' in one
of the worst gambling games knownP Bad
enough if the Prince did this occasionally, but
it clearly appears he is thoroughly enslaved
and that baccarat is so necessary to his happi-
ness he must carry the implements of the
game about with him wherever he goes
