A New Amusement Taken Up by Boston
Girls a Result of Eanter.
Omelet parties are the very latest fad
among society bellies and beaux. At
recent entertainment given by the
members of the Boston Cooking club.

the leading members. Upon arrival
they were received by the servants and
ushered into a room in which two
ia bles were set On one were ranged
ten small loaves of bread, each with a
designating mark. but conveying no
hint of the maker. The second
table was laid with plates and forks.
The company was requested to form
two committees as bread Judges and
omelet tasters. Badges had been fur
nished the guests, consisting of sprays
of wheat for the committee on bread,
tied with heiotrope ribbon, and arts
tically designed with white satin hens
for the omelet committee member In
the meantime the fifteen members of
the club, all young girls from the high
est ranks of society. were busiiy en-
gagged IN the kitchen preparing dainty
omelets for the delectatiou of their
male friends. Each prepared and sent
to the room the best she could make.
All the guests were permitted to
partake of the two samples
of feminine cookery, though neither

was allowed to give verdict except III

AN ODD OPTICAL ILLUSION.
It Was Seen the Other Day in a Railwa,
Station.

It Was Seen the Other Day in q Railway
Station.
Curious things are sometime devel-
pped by double reflections in the pres
ence of plenty of glass to keep up the
reflection. This is what woman saw
few days ago IS she sat in her car in
the train to pull cut:
On the left of her train, and very
close to it, was a second train. The
seats of her own car had the usual red
plush cushions, and those in the other
were bright blue. At the right of the
observer and in the same car, sat a
young woman lounging oarelessly
back and reading a magazine. The
observer looked out through the win
dow on her left into the corresponding
car Of the other train. There was also
young woman lclling back on the
blue plush cushions and reading a
magazine. A moment before the seat
had been empty.
The observer was struck by the re-
semblance between this young woman
} and the one at her right. She looked
young person, but the one in her car
was actual; the one in the other was
the reflection. Yet. the reflected fig
ure sat, not in red plush seat as the
former did, but on the actual blue
plush seat with which that car was
furnished. Yet, the figure seemed per
feetly solid. and no glimpse of the blue
plush was seen where the shadow body
touched the seat.
As the curious observer looked two
men came into the empty car and
seated themselves in the very seat
occupied by the half-reclining fig
ure. The first man slid over to-
ward the window without disturb
ing the reflection. The second one saa
down squarely where the girl was sit
ting and here was the strange part OF
it. The figure showed no signs of dis
appearing. and there was then present
ed the figure of the young girl leaning
back and calmly reading with a man
sitting solidly on her lap and leaning
forward.
And the reflected figure of the girl
was Just as clear and distinct as the
real figure of the man Below the seat
both the real and unreal were greatly
mixed. 1t was a confused mingling of
trouser cloth and skirt cloth. The two
bodies seemed actually occupying the
same space.
it was thoroughly perpleXing, and
the woman was glad when the train
slid away and the picture dissolved

4 PRIZE TANDEM.

years show was larger in point of
numbers, this years exhibit already

it yet held.
Exhibitors are learning each year."
said President Fellowes, commenting
on the prospects of the competition
during it's six days duration, that it
is useless to show anything but the
very best stock. This is, of course,
most gratifying to us, as it proves that
our object in promoting improvement
in the breeding of all classes is being
attained"
The thoroughbreds will, naturally,
be the center of attraction, and eight
of them, all royalty bred, will contend
for the blue ribbon. Among them,
Greenland" the stallion, who, in
1881, won the Metropolitan Handicap,
seems a prime favorite for the first
prize of $500. This class is to be shown

smart FLY, "Kentegerna," which put
SO many races to her credit this year,

There are, in addition, Macbeth"

These animals will. collectively. make
great show. and the favorite will

In the breeding class for trotters
twenty-four highly-bred ones will COM

registered, as matter Of course, and
are to be judged by their pedigrees,
age, color, conformation, gait and
produce. Among the favorites is al

''Quartermaster," the champion of last
year, is also looked to as a possibility.
There are, moreover, such stars as "On-

of France, also exhibits, as does Mr..
Irving, the Canadian expert.
There are one hundred and twenty
entries in the harness horse and car
rage horse classes. The twenty-six
tandems are expected to make a}grand
display, and seventy saddle horses and
thirty-four ponies under saddle will
keep the judges busy.
There are over one hundred and
seventy entries in the hunter and
jumping classes, and these are always
among the most attractive features OF
the show. The municipal mounted po-
lice and the mounted park police, OF
New York, will also compete, and
their exhibits promise to attract much
attention.
There are two hundred and thirteen
exhibitors, all told, thirty-one of whom
are ladies, including Miss Cassatt,
Mrs. DR.. Webb. Mrs F. W. Vanderbilt
and Mrs. Potter Palmer. The exact
number of entries in the several
classes is nine hundred and forty
seven. One of the most unique among
them is that of W. E. D. Stokes. who
purchased by him from Grand Duke
Dimitry of Russia. These animals
have already secured many prizes.
The animals themselves will, OF
course, win whatever there is to win
thirty thousand dollars-but their rid
doing it. Thus among the hunters
members of some recognized hunt
club will have to show the beasts
good points Quality will count
twenty-five per cent. and performances
over fences seventy-fve per cent. In
the jumping class it is only perform
ance over fences that will count. In
the hunting and jumping classes,
moreover, the champion cups, valued
at four hundred and fifty dollars, GO to
sill first-prize winners. The prizes for
police horses are in money or plate,
and the animals must be ridden by
officers. appointments and uniforms
also to be considered. The park po-
lice horses are to be shown at a walk,
trot. canter and gallop. and their rid
ers must GO through such drill and ex-
ercise as the judges may require.
The only embarrassment in connec-
ton with thas show SO far is that the
accommodation of stalls and loose
boxes at the Madison Square garden
proves so limited that all New Workers
are requested to stable their horses at
home. All the animals entered for
exhibition. except those stabbed out
side and few belated ones. have
been reported, but not one will be al
lowed entrance after eight o'clock the
morning of the 18th. All horses must
be removed by noon of the following
Sunday. and the great show itself will
have ended the evening before.

Zone night, about three nights, I
think it was, after we had set them up.

we knew that somebody was coming.
We gathered around the head of the
back stairs and listened. The burglar
got in without much trouble and closed
the door softly behind him. and then
for moment everything wasvcry still.
Then there was great thud that fairly
shook the house. then another moment
of stiffness, and then the suppressed
