returned 10 Paris. The terrible days OF the
Commune had come. The city was filed

An Experiment Tried with Complete Sue
cess at St. Louis.
A weeks trial at St Louis has DEM
onstrated the fact that horse-racing by
electric light is no longer a matter of
speculation or experiment. The results
of the initial attempt at South Side
park show that the scheme is eminently
successful from all standpoints. One
evening a number of eastern capitalists
were present and went away satisfied
after what they had seen that this idea
could be successfully carried out pro-
vided, like any other form of amuse-
ment, it took with the public. The at
tempt to run horses at night by artifi-
cial light is not q late one 1t has been
tried repeatedly before in this country,
France and England, but the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch says never with any great
success.
The course by night presents a stril-
ing picture. Everything is dazzling
white; stands, fences, posts, in fact
everything around the place that will
stand coat Of paint or whitewash has
been treated to a bright coating of
white. Under the steady glow of tho
incandescent lights the effect is bewil-
dering. Around the track ,at height
of twenty feet runs wire strung like
the trolley of an electric railroad.
Along this at distance of twenty-five
feet are strung clusters of incandescent
lamps, the space between them being
