The club house" of the Kentucky associa
tion-the exquisitely fitted up building adj
joining the more democratic grand stand
is the coign of vantage where the flower of
typical Bluegrass society may be viewed in
a nutshell upon typical Bluegrass occa-
sion.
Here men eligible to the privileges of the
club house disencumber themselves of
beautiful women in gala attire upon the
wide piazza that overlooks the race track,
they themselves preferring more intimate
relations with the sport. They drift back
occasionally to show proprietary interest
and to report proceedings in the thick Of
the fray, and other men flock and pleasant
little coteries are formed, and the occasion
has all the charm of an afternoon recep-
ton with the conventionality left out and
a zest and flip impaired.
Now and then spruce waiter with tray
and tinkling glasses misty with crushed
ice and bottle of champagne appears be-
fore group, and there is gay quaffing and
laughter and toastS to the winner and to
those yet to win.
Nor do these danes of high degree deny
themselves altogether the cream of the
sport. Masculine friends are dispatched
unceremoniously by these gentle pIung-
ers" to back the capricious choice of my
lady, and soft voices made only for vocal
caresses may be heard keyed to the highest
excitement in such expressions as. Il

tain one for the place Pm going to

being as familiar TO the fair tongues as
gracious social phrases.
Verify the Bluegrass is of the turf
turfy.
The rich purses that are swung so entic-
ingly from the middle Of the wire before
the start of every race, and that prove TO
be the outward tokens of the winners sue
cess, were fashioned-the whole siXty-by
the deft fingers of tho beautiful daughter
OF the president Of the association. Thus
pretty sentiment and association makes
them yet more worthy of the winning.
The Kentucky Race association, organized
in 1896, and the oldest and perhaps the
most Industrious institution of the kind in
the United States, never throughout its
long years of glory and prestige enjoyed at
any Of Its annual spring meetings the sue
cess that crowned the meetings Of 1881.

This Is the First Row with Italy.

1t is a fact worth noting just now that
Italy Is the one great power in the Old
World with which the United States has
never before had any complications, friend
" or otherwise This Is largely because as
a great power Italy is very young. and also
because there is no part of the world where
the territories Of the two nations are ada
cent or where their citizens are rivals in
any kind of business. Russia Is our long
time friend, bat Russian interests have
once or twice clashed with ours. We once
had a real naval war with France, though
there was no formal declaration; we have
but lately had little quarrel with Ger

celebrities who lived in the second half Of
the last century, when this mode Of por-

name silhouette was derived from Etienne
de Silhouette, a French minister OF finance
in 1853, who introduced several parsimo-

FROM HELENA TO FRISCO.

Interesting Description of the Trip by a
Helena Lady,.
It will be remembered that at the recent
high school commencement in this city Miss
Mary !. Jockey was graduated, though not
present in the city. She had completed the
course of study prescriptsd, except q term
in botany, and by action of the board of
education she was excused from participa-
ton in the exercises, but granted her a
diploma. Miss Jockeys graduation essa v
took the form of u vivid and interesting
description of her trip from Helena to San
Francisco and is printed in full:
O. the 18th of January, 1891, four girls
of the class of '9l from the Helena hiph
school might have been seen bidding good
bye to a fifth, who was about to start for
that supposed-to-be winter oasis of Mon
tana pilgrims, California. As this train
moved away it was hardly the smoke of the
engine that hid all familiar sights from
view, for though anticipating a pleasant
journey it was especially hard to leave that
class.
o the trip from Helena to Tacoma there
ia not much to be said, for. although there
is a great deal of inc scenery along the
route, the country will probably present a
mnch better aapec. a. u mere favorable
time of year. We arrived at Tacoma late
at night 80, of course, could judge nothing
OF 1t then. The next morning what WAS my

the beginning of surprises in this CITY
where the lawns were beautifully green and
the flowers blooming, courageously, it
seemed to mt, for it was very cold. After
spending two delightful days there, we went
on board the steamer, City OF Seattle, for n
trip down Puget sound to Victoria. The
dry was an exceptionally perfect one for
the time of year and, consequently we had
an excellent view of Mt. Rainier, which Ia
coma people persist in calling Mt. Tacoma,
and Mt. Baker, the two grand old peaks
with snow-covered tops which seem to stand
guard over the sound and surrounding
country. We anchored for half an hour ut
Seattle which appeared to us truly n city
set on n hill, though we saw it only from
the wharf. We were indeed glad to reach
Victoria, for while Gne scenery and sea
air il invigorating, it is by no means
nouriahing, and the latter statement might
also be made in regard to the meals fur
nished by our steamer. We were driven
to the hotel by u veritabls old Englishman
who pointed out the objects of interest and
gave us quite u discourse on the hold
